I love cakes - and I am as picky as they come. I prefer organic ingredients, but can be happy with cakes made from wholesome, conventional ingredients as well. I have never bought a grocery store cake for my family. Ive tried the French bakery in New Haven - meh. All style but cakes were dry and not sweet enough. There are some local cupcake places in Hamden and New Haven... they are just okay. I have been searching for a decent cake place for nearly 3 years with no luck.... until now. THIS place however, Take the Cake on the Post Rd just outside of Guilford, is exceptional. The prices are reasonable for what you get. (A whole foods cake of the same size but with half the flavor and none of the elegance is only about 20% less). I just stopped in there on a whim - having seen the shop from the road. After speaking with the folks working (one may have been the owner/ baker), and learning about the quality of ingredients used, I decided I had found my cake shop. I bought a Purcell Torte and an Italian Pistachio Chocolate Torte and both are AMAZING! The pistachio was just for dessert after the family dinner that night. It was light, flavorful, and the bits of Italian cherries were little exquisite bites of happiness. The Purcell was for my husbands birthday. The lovely baker decorated it (at her request!) for no additional charge, and the result was stunning. My husband was super impressed, and we agreed that we would no longer buy cakes anywhere else. The only challenge we face with this business moving forward will be deciding which flavor to try next... or if we should just stick to these new found favorites. Thank you Take the Cake!

We were thinking about buying our wedding cake from them. So we bought some samples... Cake by the slice $5, a little pricey but we bought 2. Taking it home... I tried one it tasted funny. My fiance also tried it and she thought it tasted funny. Upon closer examination it smelled sour. Same was true for the other slice. We will never get cake from them again.

We purchased our wedding cake from Take the Cake, and absolutely loved it. We tried five other places before picking Take the Cake because the cakes not only looked pretty, but tasted great! Our guests all agreed that the cake was delicious. Would highly recommend to other brides and grooms.

I have ordered cakes from Take the Cake for over 10 years now and I have never been disappointed and never have my guest of honor or guests. Birthdays to Weddings - its always Take the Cake for us. Consistently delicious, beautiful and fresh.
