If youre looking for a special occasion custom cake creator LOOK NO FURTHER. I had the honor of creating a cake for my baby’s 100 day and he absolutely outdid himself. The cake blew every single guest away. I swear it was PERFECT. And i do not say this lightly. I spent over 600$ for my baby shower cake last time with another baker which quality/flavor/design was nowhere EVEN close to Nicholas’s creation. Made me feel like I got scammed from my baby shower cake 😭. The flavor was exactly what we were looking for as well and you absolutely replicated my visions exactly. It was so so so so good. The delivery was also on point. Super accomodating. Love love love. Will be returning customer over the next years with all special occasions!

Man Chef Nicholas is a MASTER of what he does. Visually - He created an absolute show stopper that felt like he pulled it straight out of our imagination Taste - This was such a good cake it’s going to haunt my dreams. It may have ruined other cakes for me because this cake was DELICIOUS Service - Simple no fuss, communicated every step of the way he was incredibly helpful and collaborative and put in a level of effort that reshaped my understanding of cake making as a whole. Price - not only reasonable but I would’ve payed extra just for a video of the creation of this cake. But I completely understand a magician never reveals his tricks! 10 outta 10 would work with again!

My husband and I decided to go through Cakes By Nick for our baby shower cake. We had a safari themed party and wanted a chocolate cake with raspberry filling with a more simple design. Nick exceeded all of our expectations from the design of the cake to the flavor. He was very easy to communicate with and listened to all my ideas and brought them to life better then I could have expected. I would 100% recommend Nick to anyone looking for costume cake in the area.

Nicholas made the birthday cake for my daughter’s 3rd birthday party, and the whole experience was absolutely wonderful! From the start, communication and planning were so easy — he was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the process. I asked for a cake inspired by a Fisher-Price toy teacup/cupcake set, and he completely exceeded my expectations. The cake looked so real that everyone thought it was an actual toy! I was blown away by his creativity and attention to detail. Not only was it stunning, but it tasted amazing too — truly the best of both worlds. We’ll definitely be reaching out to Nicholas for future celebrations. I can’t recommend him highly enough!

We ordered our wedding cake with Nick, and it was a spectacular experience from beginning to end. Nicholas is professional, communicative, warm, and most importantly extremely talented. We loved all three of our cake samples, and our final wedding cake looked and tasted exactly as we dreamed. I have a severe nut allergy and finding caterers/bakers that could assure me of their food safety practices was difficult and frustrating. Nick put me entirely at ease and I'm so thrilled with how it came out. I would highly recommend his services to my loved ones!

Chef Nick was a delight to work with. We asked him to tweak his recipe, which he did willingly and with great success. Every guest commented on how delicious the wedding cake was - rich and moist, and magnificently decorated. At most weddings we’ve attended, the wedding cake is left while the other desserts disappear. At our wedding not a single slice of cake was left on any plat4. It was everything we hoped for!

I showed an inspiration photo, he said he can replicate the flowers, then gave something that looked nothing like it. When I brought this up, he gaslit me and said it was his discretion. Also, the cake was disgustingly sweet. Very unprofessional. If I could give 0 stars, I would.

I’m genuinely sorry to see that you’ve chosen to publicly misrepresent your experience, especially after I’ve been consistently professional, communicative, and accommodating throughout this process from the very beginning.

The claims you are now making do not align with your previous feedback and are not supported by the documented communications, photos, or the product delivered. The cake was made according to the agreed upon design and was consumed at your event without any complaints. Attempting to damage the reputation of a small business by escalating your dissatisfaction with inaccurate and inconsistent statements is deeply unfortunate and not constructive.

I do find it noteworthy that you haven’t included any photos of the cake or the reference materials we discussed in your complaint. Including those would provide helpful context and allow others to fairly compare what was delivered to what was agreed upon.

I stand by the integrity of my work and the transparency of our process. I will not be engaging further, but I do advise you to consider your words carefully when making public statements because in the real world spreading false claims can carry serious legal consequences.

I wish you well.

When I reached out to CAKESBYNICKG for a last minute birthday cake idea, Chef Nicholas Gomez came through. With an event date arriving less than two weeks away I was given a quote that not only seemed reasonable for the request and didn't seem to take advantage of the shortened timeframe with an upcharge. Even with the last minute request Chef Nick was cordial and patient with my reply to move forward with the cake. Upon accepting the quote payment was easy and communication was quick, efficient and left no questions unanswered. Upon the day of pickup Chef Nick reached out again to correlate and conveniently brought out the cake, making pickup a breeze. The Cake came out perfect. The recipient was amazed, mission accomplished. I will definitely be recommending and looking forward to doing business with Chef Nick again. Thank you.

After doing some research and narrowing down my choices to 3 bakers for my wedding cake we chose Chef Nick based on our blind taste test against 1 other baker. Although he was a little more expensive I have zero regrets in the decision we made. Our cake was a huge hit, beautiful in design and absolutely delicious. We went with a strawberry champagne cake w cream cheese buttercream frosting which Chef Nick adjusted for us to minimize the cream cheese taste, he found the perfect balance. The cake itself was so moist yet delicate in flavor. Chef Nick was great to work with and helped with the design after going back and forth on several ideas. We fortunately had an entire top tier left over and are still enjoying it 2 weeks after the wedding. I highly recommend going with him - for your cake - you will NOT be disappointed.

Chef Nicholas is an amazing truly one of a kind baker with great talent! The entire vision of our wedding cake wouldn’t have been possible, if it wouldn’t have been for him. He truly went above and beyond with our cake. His cakes aren’t only visually exquisite, but the taste is over the top. Super moist and just the perfect amount of sweetness to it, that truly leaves you wanting more. Chef Nick is super patient, understanding, attentive, and presents multiple ideas for a final cake masterpiece. His communication is on point, which was a huge plus for us. Ordering a cake from him for any event is super worth it. He definitely has a customer for life with us. Thanks a million chef Nicholas you are the best!

The cake for my wedding was absolutely perfect. I requested a passion fruit filling which was more delicious than I could have imagined. Nick was incredibly easy to collaborate with and hit the exact flavor profile me and my husband were seeking.

We contacted Chef Nicholas to make a custom cake for our mother's 90th birthday and he hit it out of the park! He was very kind speaking with us on more than one occasion as we asked for particular features for the cake including a Chinese character for longevity and realistic orchids. Chef Nicholas paid close attention to the flavors we wanted and when the cake arrived we were absolutely thrilled! It looked and tasted better than we could have imagined. He listened to every detail we wanted and delivered. You can't won't be disappointed!

So glad I stumbled across Nick’s work online. We had a lord of the rings, medieval times party and sent Nick our ideas. He was so thorough with his ideas and included everything we wanted. I fully trusted him in the process and could not be happier with the results. His artwork is beautiful and equally delicious. I always worry about fondant, but everything was delicious! Can’t wait to work with him for our next themed invent. Thanks Nick!
