Traveler reviews
John Nguyen
★★★★★6 months agoEasy ordering via web platform and delicious cakes. I highly recommend the standard strawberry cake - it is made with fresh cream, sponge cake and fruits. The store also gave me a complimentary cake, which I truly appreciate (unfortunately I forgot to take a photo of this but it was a small melon cake) The communication with the store was easy and delivery was prompt. Payment was made easily via bank transfer. Highly recommend this store to anyone who needs a cake for a special occasion.

★★★★★2 years agoI was looking for a cake to offer to my family who was hosting me. I fell upon this shop online and decided to go. The girls were very sweet, kind and helpful. They had many size cake + prices are good. The cake tasted AMAZING! Very light and flavourful. I would highly recommend 🎂
