I went into Cakes Plus this morning and purchased 2 dozen cupcakes for a luncheon get-together with my friends. They ABSOLUTELY LOVED the cupcakes. I would have been surprised if they didn't. These are the best cupcakes I have ever had. At least 4 or 5 in my group asked for Cakes Plus address and phone number. I also told them Nina and Mario, and Nina's husband are terrific. They are very friendly, very professional and treat every customer special. Nina's husband even carried my cupcakes out to my car. I bought some chocolate/vanilla cookies for myself. I'm just crazy about these cookies. Thank you Nina and Mario for making my day and my friends' day a special and delicious one. 👍 😋 😋 😋 😋 Less

This is the second custom cake we’ve order from here. We are so happy with the design and quality of the cake. They were so easy to work with. They incorporated all of our suggestions and we couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. It was perfect for our daughter’s Birthday party. Will definitely come back. Less

Si quieres sabores exquisitos y únicos junto a un servicio espectacular, es el mejor sitio!!! Excelente en todo sentido, sus sabores únicos se distinguen de los demás, la atención insuperable, esa combinación es la perfecta. Fui unos 4 o 5 días antes de mi boda pensando me dirían que no por los tiempos e hicieron la torta sin mayor inconveniente. Volví con mi hermana hace poco para tomar café con bizcochos y pedimos de varios sabores, uno mejor que el otro!! Less

I order a custom cake for my son. I had to change my pick up date for a day earlier, and they were very helpful. The cake turned out perfectly. My son was very happy. Less

They made our wedding cake and it was AMAZING! We got a 2 tiered cake with the raspberry swirl and raspberry filling, and it was gone fast! The icing was nice not to sweet and not to much but enough and the flowers they had on it was amazing! Would totally order from them again! Less

Cake Plus just made our son's first birthday cake. And I cannot be more happy of how beautiful and delicious it was. We went in with really no idea but the vintage Disney a Robin Hood theme and Mario's mother sat down with us and helped us put together our baby's perfect cake. The customer service and attention to details is amazing every time we enter the bakery. Definitely won our hearts. Great family! Less

If I can give them more than 5 stars - trust and believe I will !! Cakes Plus did a phenomenal job for my daughter’s 2nd birthday cake. I can’t thank Chef Mario enough for. I came into the store and we spoke briefly on how I visioned her cake to look like & asked for mini minion cake pops to go along with. Reasonable prices and very respectful & great customer service. I stood amazed on how great it came out and my toddler was in awe when she saw her cake. In her words “ ouuu how nice”. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND them for any cakes and will be a returning customer for future birthday cakes. Once again thank you for making my little girl’s day. Less

I love this shop. They are the best and I’ve gone here for some time. If you want an impressive cake at a fair price, come here. They are creative and always impress. For my TWINS birthday bash yesterday, we had to mix their 2 likes, Lightening McQueen and mermaids and they did a wonderful job. My kids were so happy and that makes me happy. THANK YOU!! Less

I ordered a cake for a 25th birthday celebration and was really happy with the results! The cake was fantastic and the staff were very responsive and helpful in their communications Less

Cakes Plus did a phenomenal job on my son’s first birthday cake! The design was perfect and the chocolate cake with dulce de leche filling was delicious. They were very easy to work with! Would definitely recommend Less

Been ordering cakes from Mario for the last 9 years. They absolutely never ever miss !! I love being able to schedule an appointment and go over exactly what Im looking for. Less

This place did an Amazing job on my husband’s retirement cake. All I had was an idea and they made it come to life. The cake was super moist and delicious and the boots were edible too. Would definitely use them again Less

Ordered Nina’s Award winning pound cake for our Baby Shower and it was phenomenal!!! The flavor was unreal. Everyone loved it. My wife and I highly recommend Cakes Plus! 10/10!!! Less

Incredible work on this cake for my promotion! The details were amazing, & the cake itself was delicious! Not to mention, the customer service was outstanding. They were so nice & helpful. I highly recommend them for custom cakes for any event! Less

My husband are from the D.C area. We saw the Cake's Plus sign, from our Uber car. We walked over that same day, then returned at a later date for more. We went in just to taste her cupcakes. Her employee told us that she used an old family recipe. Flavor wise, her pound cake cupcake and the regular cupcakes, were the best we'd ever tasted. We bought four more the second time around. I met the owner, and told her that she's a wonderful baker! The cakes displayed are beautiful too. So good! Less

I been coming here for over 15 years , the cakes here are the best . If you looking for tasting cake this is the place for you ! My wife is Puerto Rican and told me all about it ! Give this place a chance , the best on my book . Thank you Nina and Mario ❤️💜💙 Less

Contacted Cakes Plus to make a cake for my wife's 50th Birthday. They were extremely easy to work with and the process was seamless. I spoke with Mario on the telephone and he listened to some different ideas and how it might translate on the cake and in the end, we decided to go with a cake that matched the theme of the party. The cake was moist, flavorful and delicious and was a huge hit. I would not hesitate to contact them for any special occasion needs and would gladly provide them with 6 stars if were available. Great experience!! Less

I needed personalized holiday cookies in a pinch after another bakery let me down. I was using the personalized holiday cookies as the "place card" for each of our employees' names for our company luncheon at Ocean Prime, to be also a parting favor and to add a special touch to the place setting. I walked in to Cakes Plus on a Saturday before the event as I just happened to look up "local bakeries" - I was nearby and decided to give Cake Plus a shot - it's been here over 30 years and I was NOT aware they were here! I was greated by, I believe her name is Nina, the wife of the Chef Mario who was so friendly and sweet. I told her my predicament, luckily I had pictures in my purse of the cookies I was looking for - "ornaments styles - with eah person's names (there were 13). I needed these personalized and ready by 9 am that upcoming Wednesday. While there, she let me sample one of their cakes and I was brought back to my childhood of when they made cakes so special - it was so good! Let me say that Chef Mario delivered what I wanted for sure! Not only were they beautiful and exactly what I was looking for, but these are probably one of the best tasting cookies ever! Everyone loved the personalized touch at the luncheon as they went to find their names to see their assigned seating. I am definately coming back for more! Less

Un lugar precioso, los bizcochos sabrosos y la atención espectacular. Le recomiendo lo visiten. No se van a arrepentir. LOS MEJORES BIZCOCHOS,DULCES, CAFÉ Y ARTÍCULOS PARA HACER CAKE. Less

I love this place for when I want my cake to be EXTRA special. I order two months in advance. I get the raspberry filling. The drive is 50 minutes but it is huge worth it for me. I email and pay with pay pal and I go pick my cake up on the day I choose. Less

I needed a last minute cookie delivery in South Tampa. I live in the Ft. Lauderdale area and shipping cookies wasn't a good option for fear of breaking. I reached out to this bakery and they were able to fill my order quickly and provide delivery. My friend who I sent the cookies to said they were delicious and beautifully decorated. Thank you to Mario for his amazing customer service and quality of baked goods. I will definitely use them again and can't wait to stop by the bakery the next time I'm in Tampa. Less

My sons cake was perfect for a second year in a row. Exactly what he asked for and the volcano’s awesome candle was a crowd pleaser! Highly recommend this place! We will be lifelong customers for sure! Less

We ordered this cake about a week prior to our event to feed about 45-50 people. It turned out so beautiful! The vanilla cake and buttercream frosting was so delicious and moist. The cake was a big hit for our party, thank you Cakes Plus! Will definitely be ordering more for future events. Less

I just want to say THANK YOU for making our gender reveal even more memorable!! We had a last minute order because our other baker was out sick and THANKFULLY CakesPlus was able to fit us into their schedule! We put in the order on Wednesday and the chef was able to bake a beautiful 4 tier cake for the coming Saturday , we weren’t too picky on design, we didn’t know the flavor either but it turned out to be wedding almond cake flavor, my absolute favorite and the icing was beautiful! It was a great surprise to cut into it and see we were having a boy! It was a last minute order but everything went smoothly and they were quick to respond to my emails and calls! It tasted amazing, on time, friendly & I will absolutely be ordering all of our special event cakes here from now on! We absolutely loved our gender reveal cake thank you again! Less

I am so happy with the service I received from Cakes Plus - I contacted them on short notice with a special cake request and they knocked it out of the park. They were very quick and responsive to my emails, the cake was ready when they promised, it looked even better than I had envisioned, and everyone raved over how delicious it was. Thank you! Less

This place goes ABOVE AND BEYOND. I came in less than 24 hours before needing my cake…I didn’t expect to be able to get a cake. They made it work. They were so polite and friendly. I couldn’t IMAGINE my cake would turn out this amazing. I simply gave them a theme and small picture of the character and they made artwork out of it for me. They really put in the extra time and detail to make my cake look beautiful. I am so happy, thank you so much for making my birthday more special. 10/10 stars. Thank you!! Less

Stoped in today due to waiting for my table to be ready at ihop and I’m so glad I did. Honestly was just checking it out just to see what they had but after trying a free sample of the pound cake I had to buy one. Cake is one of the best I’ve every had. Super moist and the icing slaps you in the best way possible. My only regret was I was on my way to the air show and couldn’t buy more. I’ll definitely be back when I’m in the area. If you are reading this and haven’t tried the pound cake you don’t understand what your missing. Less

Great service!! We gave a short notice to put a wedding cake together, and Cakes Plus made it happen! They were so quick to get back to us and to check all the boxes of our request. Highly recommend! Best in town! Less

I stopped in just to see what they had for a birthday cake and I am so glad I did !! After talking with the super nice lady in the front she explained the cakes in the case to purchase (not special order). I bought a single piece without frosting to try because I had never had that type of pound cake it was so good I quickly went back in and bought the birthday cake she was so sweet and wrote beautifully on it for me . That night when we had the cake at dinner it’s as even more delicious with the frosting ! I absolutely 100% will be buying all my cakes from there I am obsessed!!! I can’t explain what was in the pound cake but it was perfectly sweet and moist! If you need a cake for a special occasion or just because it’s a definite must try! Thank you Cake Plus!! Less

Cakes Plus made my wedding cake... just perfect! It exceeded my expectations. Delicious... 3 layers: key lime, guava, and almond. I highly recommend Cakes Plus. Less

I am always amazed with Cakes Plus! This is my second time ordering a custom cake from them. First time was my husbands 30th birthday and this time was for our baby shower! Not to mention I stop in occasionally to get a personal size cake for myself and an espresso from the counter (they have multiple personal size options). If I lived closer I would be there more often! Back to this cake, they took my multiple visions and ran with it! They went beyond my expectations AGAIN. I showed Cakes Plus 2 different ideas and also incorporated some of their own decor and voila! Seriously not only do their cakes look good but they taste even better! - I'm serious. There was not one piece of cake left over from our party. No one said "oh just a little piece" no, no, I only got one slice. This cake melts in your mouth. My mother in law was like "just get a Publix cake".. no, this cake is heavenly and made with love. (Especially being pregnant this made my shower). Anyways! You will not be disappointed, GO TO CAKES PLUS!!! Also they are family owned and operated, mother son duo! What could be better? 30 years of family love in this shop. Less

Thank you to cake plus for the amazing job on my daughter's 2nd birthday cake! Looked and tasted amazing as expected. We will definitely be permanent costumers! Less

Amazing and so beautiful! Myself and several others cried tears of joy when we saw our cake and treats. It was fantastic and I will for sure use this bakery again ❤❤❤ thank you all so much. It was all made with love 💛 Less

I absolutely love the cupcakes and cookies at Cakes Plus. They are so moist, delicious and not too sweet. The cookies are great as well. My friends also have nothing but good things to say about the cupcakes. I haven't been in the store in a while, but I will be back. Thank you also to everyone who works at Cakes Plus. Great customer service Less

Voted #1 Cake in Tampa Bay and U.S.A. Tom Brady move over, Tampa Bay has a Cake Boss in South Tampa. I went in for a custom birthday cake, what an amazing place. Of course, I had to sample to make my final decision. So many decisions, its sure different than others. It has an amazing flavor surely doesn't give you that over powering sugar rush. I left the store with cupcakes for dessert for my family. They loved them, I fell in love with all flavors. However, the Guava is amazing. Thank you, Suzy Rich approved. Sugar Grove, Illinois. Less

Spoke with Chef Mario Torres, love the place."Plus" refers to the great accessories and decos for DIY. Sampled House Special Angel Cake: clean bake, no sugary stickiness, light like foam, can't wait to try the "Pan fried cake". Less

The experience at Cakes Plus was amazing!!! For starters for our very first time walking into the bakery we were greeted as if we were family. We had a seat, ordered the most popular cake they sell. The first bite was CAKE HEAVEN! A basic Pound Cake with awesome flavor, and super moist. The taste was freshly baked.....!!! each bite was like Wow 🤩...... And with their exclusive coffee blend EL Toro, it was the perfect 👌🏽 combo... OMG 😱 Café con Leche on another level! I recommend everyone to take some time to experience Cakes Plus! 🎂🤩💥🍰🙌🏾💃🏻😋🧁⭐️⭐️⭐️ Less

This place had the best cakes in Tampa. I grew up eating cakes like this in Puerto Rico, and I always looked for a recipe or a place that made these. The pound cake is to die for. They use an icing that had almond extract (they will use vanilla if requested) Less

Thank you, thank you, thank you Cakes Plus! I took them a picture of a custom cake I wanted to have made for a friend’s graduation and they executed the cake absolutely beautifully. The workmanship was excellent! When I saw the cake I was overjoyed ! When we took the cake to the party it was a surprise to all and everyone was in awe! Then, we ate the cake and it was absolutely over the top delicious! I highly recommend Cakes Plus! Less

One of the most patient people we worked with living in North Carolina and getting a cake for my daughter's birthday was impossible but the mad it happen Less

Our wedding cake was more than we ask for. It was amazing from the design to the taste. Definitely made our big day extra special. Thank you so much Athena and Javier Less

Cakes Plus original pound cake is AMAZING. My favorite cake anywhere. Purchased one for all our family birthdays each year. We moved away from Tampa last year, but when we returned for a visit, stopped here just to buy a cake. Delicious! Less

The atmosphere walking in was welcoming and wonderful. Splendid detail on the Studio Ghibli themed cake. The cake was decadent in every way from the frosting to the raspberry filling, Highly recommend! I will continue ordering cakes from Cakes Plus for years to come. Thank you very much for this experience!! Less

They made this cake for me back in August, had not had a chance to post review. The owner is a really cool guy. I actually had to cancel the cake order and move by a week from original date I requested. There was no fees for the reschedule. It was made for a boy-girl birthday he did awesome on both tiers. Even had a real strawberry filling between the layers. I asked for Paw Patrol theme and it was spot on !! "I added the characters to cake" because of copy right stuff. All the kids loved it !! Less
