Best Custom Cakes In Vancouver Near Me

Chloe Rachel: Managed to get one of their Too Good To Go surprise bags and it didn't disappoint! Received 4 tasty and decadent items including 2 mini cakes (1 was a chocolate mousse), a berry scone, and a pear frangipane tart. The staff gave instructions on how to best consume the items after refrigeration. They were all delicious and aesthetically beautiful - loved the thin slices of pears in the centre of the tart. One could easily find parking out front when not during rush hour. The surprise bag gave us a chance to try some of their menu and we'd love to return!

Jason Sandher: Best cake ever

Iris C.: Tanya created our wedding cake and it was beautiful. I asked for a petal fondant cake in a gradient and with sugar flowers. She delivered my vision and the gradient went perfectly with my floral color palette. Bonus: You can order a cake tasting box at le gâteau - yummy!

Jennifer G: Le Gateau did our wedding cake and the process of designing it was easy as Tanya was very helpful and knowledgeable. The cake was there on time and looked even better than we imagined. The attention to detail was amazing! Not to mention it tasted delicious! We had lots of comments of people loving the look of the cake! Highly recommend Tanya to anyone else needing that fantastic cake!

s b: Everytime I have come by they have been closed or don’t have anything in their showcase! This place is a joke. I’m not sure how they keep themselves afloat if they never have/want to sell any product. I am so disappointed, don’t waste your time going here!

M S: Tanya and her team baked a scrumptious citrus wedding cake and a crocombouche tower for our wedding. All guests were commenting on how refreshing the cake was and how it was the best wedding cake they had ever had. The crocombouche were absolutely delicious and the tower was made with a cake base beautifully. Tanya was super patient with us as we decided on flavours and design and made time for us and baked multiple tester cakes. 100% recommend!!

Monica: I've ordered two cakes from Le Gateau now, once was for my sisters baby shower and the second time was a birthday cake. Both times the cake were phenomenal, tasted amazing and looked great. The communication has always been very prompt as well. Would definitely recommend having your cake made from Le Gateau.

Simran Saroya: Tanya was super accommodating on a custom order I placed online. She nailed the inspo provided on a Cookie Monster cake and it tasted so good!

Din Kho: We have ordered a Chocolate Caramel Pecan Gateau cake there recently, and unfortunately most of the cake ended up being discarded. There were no pecans and no hint of chocolate (no caramel either), icing tasted like sugared butter. 2 stars for the presentation, the rest was unfortunately not up to par.

Markenzie Tan: We ordered the lemon and olive oil cake for our wedding. Once we finished the cake cutting, it vanished and we received a lot of praise for it afterwards! 😂☺️ Would order again!

Erika Aguilar: I recently ordered a vegan Tiramisu cake for my partner and was deeply disappointed. First off, the writing of the message on the cake looked like it was written in sharpie marker and did not look nice at all. However, I let that go because the taste of the cake was something I was really looking forward to. Unfortunately, the sponge of the cake did not taste like it was soaked in espresso as advertised and was really disappointing. There was too much cocoa powder on top that people were coughing while taking a bite of cake. I was honestly really excited to try the vegan option from here because of the glowing reviews, but I would not recommend their tiramisu cake. Perhaps their other vegan cakes would be better.

Iven Tse: Got two cakes for my wife’s birthday recently, she is lactose intolerant so I got two of the vegan selections, carrot cake and a cookies and cream one. The presentation was awesome - with attention to details and flavours and textures that all combined so well and caused everyone to “oooh” and “ahhh” when they saw it and when they ate them. I have had vegan cakes from many other places around town and by far, these taste like the real thing, including the creamy frosting. I could not tell they were vegan. No butter? No problem. No milk? No problem. These guys know what to do.

Natalia Yan: I ordered my wedding cake from Le Gateau in August, the lemon blueberry Olive Oil. My guests and I all thought that it was the best cake we have ever had!

Jessica Yeung: Decided to go with Le Gateau Bake Shop for our wedding last weekend and it was AMAZING! We tried samples and few months ago and they dont do the overall product justice! The buttercream had a nice simple finish and the inside was super moist. We went with Tanya's recommendation which was the 'lemon olive oil', 2-tier, and buttercream. I highly recommend the lemon olive oil if youre looking for a moist wedding cake. It has a layer or berries in it and it was delicious! One of the highlights of our wedding for sure! Well done Tanya and the Le Gateau Bake Shop team!

Chelsea Dill: My friends got me a birthday cake from Le Gateaux that was both absolutely delicious and beautiful. It was covered in fresh flowers and had gold foil amongst the icing. Speaking of icing, no fondant was used which was nice because I think it’s gross.Cake leftovers were still moist and delicious three days later. Highly recommend this bakery!

sandeep singh: This 5 star review for Tanya's excellent customer service over the phone and chat and of course amazing designs of cakes!! Highly recommended!!🙌

Michael Carniel: Parked outside to answer an email and make a call. Looked nice from outside but didn't see anyone go in. Looked closed honestly, so I figured there was most likely a scene out of pulp fiction going on in the basement and it was best to just finish my work and leave. 5 stars because I like bakeries and I'm sure they are great

Theo T: I first found this bakery on IG. I was instantly amazed at her work and the fact that Tanya makes vegan cakes. We have ordered various cakes and baked goods from Tanya throughout the year. Each time Tanya delivers and executes beautiful, customize items based on our vision. Our friends and family also enjoy the flavors of her desserts. The care that is taken to make each item, and the details placed means you'll never be disappointed ordering from Le Gateau Bake Shop.

Niall Theo: Critical:ResponsivenessKind of unprofessional to email someone back and say yes we can make your cake and then not respond back until a week later and say no we can't make it.The cakes aren't that great anymore and taste the same as whole foods.

Camilla Basil: I loved the look of the cake! Very pretty! But they misspelled the name on the birthday plate despite me repeating each letter (like A for alpha, B for Bryan etc..). Customer service was also a challenge. Out of multiple touch points, only one was pleasant, the rest left a bit of bitter taste in my mouth. I don’t usually write reviews unless it’s very positive, but after a few different occasions over the last few years, I just hit the tipping point. I was hoping to be a repeat customer for many years to come. I saw many cakes on their website and was excited to try different ones but I’m not happy anymore.

Oliver Lee: Don't think I had the greatest experience ordering a birthday cake in Jan 2023.+ Cake was pretty- I noted it was a cake meant for just 2 people, there were several attempts to pressure me into ordering a larger cake.- Cake had this sort of fridge smell when I opened up the box.- Was not flexible in the pickup time.Edit for response:1) We set up a time near the end of the "7 hour window" and I asked to come an hour early in a text conversation and although this is within your "7 hour window", you told me it wasn't allowed.2) Okay even if you claim there is a separate fridge, whatever the case, this was my experience with the fridge smell.

Jada Fleur-de-Lys: Mooch Custom Confections, owned and operated by Megan, exceeded our expectations for our wedding cake. From the initial consultation to the final product, Megan was a pleasure to work with. She took the time to understand our vision and preferences, and offered suggestions and options that perfectly matched what we were looking for. The cake itself was not only visually stunning, but also delicious. Many of our guests commented on how delicious the cake was. Megan was also very responsive and accommodating to any requests or concerns we had. We highly recommend Mooch Custom Confections for any special occasion cake.

Shally Y: Megan made us a beautiful and delicious wedding cake. She was easy to communicate with and work with throughout the process. Everything went very smoothly with the delivery on the day. Would recommend!

Mai: Beautiful cakes that taste delicious!

Tricia Whiting: It was so easy working with Megan, and our cake was exactly how we had envisioned it! We, and our guests thought the cake tasted amazing (honey/lavender for a tier and raspberry/lemon on another). We HIGHLY recommend asking Megan to make your cake, she's a real pro!

A S: Just an amazing experience from start to finish. Megan did our wedding cake and it was unreal. Not only did the cake look amazing, it tasted great too. Our guests were raving about it all night and we are still munching over the leftovers. Megan went above and beyond to make my vision come to life . Thanks so much and I highly recommend Megan to all the brides out there!

Cheyanne Watt: Megan did a wonderful job on our cake, from the dreamy caramel flavor to the way she incorporated our rustic-themed wedding into an elegant cake. Our guests were raving! Through all the covid rescheduling, she was super accommodating and thoughtful, and we were so happy to work with her!

Ryan Dueck: We saw great a wonderful reviews of this company but our experience was nothing but dreadful and horrid. The cake didnt come like we had discussed, and when we confronted her she dis nothin but deflect. We asked for a rustic and wording looking cake with R&A in a heart. You can see from the pictures it was not that. She said it was a learning curve. Glad that your learning curve happened with our cake. We adked for a portion of a refund and she avoided the question multiple times.

PC Hospitality: Ordered a cake tasting box duo for my son’s 11th birthday. Ordering process was easy. Megan answered all my questions quickly and was very accommodating. The cakes were SO cute & quite delicious. The 2 mini cakes were the perfect size for 10 boys. They finished all of it. I totally recommend Mooch and suggest you think outside the box & try her tasting sample mini cakes for birthdays & special events.

Jewel Cabaltera: Our wedding cake looked so pretty and tasted so great! I’m glad we chose Mooch. Megan was very accommodating and very responsive. I would recommend!

Rubi Samano: ALRIGHT, LET’S TALK CAKE….All I can say is if you haven’t booked Megan from Mooch for your 2022 wedding, you need to run and not walk before she gets all booked out.When I first met Megan, the world was a bit more normal than today. No one saw what was coming. But through it all she was one of the most supportive and understanding vendors I hired for my wedding. This woman is so hard working and puts her 100% into every single thing she does. From her cakes to marketing herself to writing you a personalized card on your wedding day. Not a single detail passes her by.Like I said, I met Megan pre-crazy world. So while I waited for the rules to allow for the biggest day of my life (so far) to happen, I ordered a few cakes from her. Not one of them disappointed.Halloween, check.Friend bday, scrumptious.When my wedding day arrived I had no doubt it would be just as delicious but what I WAS surprised by was by how she took on the challenge to make me my dream design and let me say it was no easy feat.I asked for 2 tiers, top tier was a vegan chocolate, including a vegan and gf buttercream, while the bottom was her regular chocolate recipe. The exterior had a rice paper design that made everyone do a double take.Got so many compliments that night both on flavor and look!I can’t wait to have it again on my anniversary next August ❤️

Sheila P: It took a really long time for me to decide whether I wanted to write this review, as I had initially hired Megan in July 2019 for a May 2020 wedding. At the time, she was just starting out her business so I didn't want my review to be too impactful to her business. That being said, I thought about it and decided that I should still write a review of Megan so that at least other couples can get a well-rounded sense of everyone's experiences.I'll start out by saying that in addition to our 2020 wedding, I've purchased countless other cakes from Megan, both for myself and as gifts for friends. I've also promoted Megan's business on multiple social media channels. Megan's cakes are DELICIOUS. There is no doubt about her skills as a pastry chef, and I try to make an effort to support and promote small local business.I was very disappointed in the way that Megan handled my wedding cake order. I did reach out to Megan after the wedding to provide her with feedback, and Megan acknowledged my comments, apologized for it, and offered to make up for it, but that was never followed through.When I booked Megan, I had sent her a few photos of inspiration for design. At the time, she had assured me that she would be able to replicate something similar. She had sent me an initial quote, which I agreed to, but then 4 months before our wedding date (in January 2020), she said she reviewed my design and it'll actually cost a little more to replicate that design. I was a little bothered by it (why wasn't this brought up earlier?) but at that point I didn't know what else to do so I just agreed to it.Covid happened, so our May 2020 wedding was canceled and replaced with a simple backyard legal ceremony. I had requested postponements from all of our vendors except Megan because I knew her business was struggling so I wanted to do what I can to help. Out of all of our vendors (with the exception of the officiant because we needed her to get legally married), the only vendor we kept on for our original date was Megan.Two days before the wedding date and the night before I was supposed to pick up the cake, at around 10PM, Megan sends me a message on Instagram saying that she was unable to recreate my design and asked how flexible I was in wanting that design. At that point, I was not too happy by this because this isn't something you contact your client about at 10PM the night before the cake was scheduled to be picked up.As a professional pastry chef, I would have assumed that if she wasn't able to recreate it, she would tell me in advance of accepting a contract for that type of design. Or if she didn't have experience doing that kind of design, that she would at least practice a little bit beforehand.She ended up creating a wonderful cake that was beautiful and delicious, but the whole experience just came across as unprofessional. She reached out to me afterwards to request a five star review on Weddingwire, which I was uncomfortable in doing. I sent her my comments in an email, which she replied to, acknowledging the issues and taking responsibility. She then offered to make up for it by gifting me a complimentary cake for my birthday, which was happening the next month.Well that gift cake never happened either. She just sent me an Instagram DM the day after my birthday saying "I missed your birthday! I'm so sorry." and that was it. Nothing else after that.If you are a couple hoping to book Megan for your cake, just keep in mind that she may not be great with custom orders. If you pick something that she's already made before, then you're likely safe with ordering a cake from her. Otherwise, you may encounter bumps. It's been two years since that experience so I hope that she has improved her business practices.

N de Sousa: We are really glad that we chose Megan for our wedding cake. We ordered a couple of cake tasters and really enjoyed the matcha strawberry, which we decided to order. Megan was easy to communicate with up until the day of our wedding, which made the process easy which we are really thankful for. We had the cake delivered to our venue in Pemberton and that went smoothly. The only issue was that we had communicated a couple of times that we wanted a semi-naked cake, but instead received a cake with buttercream icing. That aside, the cake was beautiful and tasty - enjoyed by us and our guests. Thank you Mooch!

Jessica Garcia: The cake that Megan created for our wedding was not only stunning but also absolutely delicious. Our guests were impressed by this beautiful cake. We highly appreciate Megan for being easy to work with, responsive and being very accommodating from start to finish. Thanks Megan!!

Margaret Plourde: Megan created the most wonderful wedding cake and cupcakes for our wedding. Her icing is to die for! She was also wonderful to work with during all the stress of wedding planning.

Sierra Nicholas: Megan did an amazing job with our wedding cake. She was responsive and easy to deal with throughout the whole process. She provided the florals for the cake and the finished product was exactly what we had hoped it would be. Megan delivered our cake to our venue and was on time and friendly. Her prices are fair and the cake was delicious as well!

Shannon Warner: Megan is wonderful to work with and the results speak for themselves. She was so accommodating while our guest list was changing due to covid. Our wedding took place at two different venues, and when the flowers were delivered to the church, Megan offered to pick up the flowers for the cake so they could set up the cake at the venue prior to guests arriving. The cake was beautiful and of course, delicious. Cannot recommend enough!

Joyce Wong: Megan is so talented and a pleasure to work with. I found her on Instagram and was instantly captured by her beautiful cake designs. She is very responsive and takes time to understand your preferences. My wedding cake turned out exactly the way I envisioned and received many wonderful compliments from our guests. Everyone said "it looks so pretty and tastes great!". I was very pleased with her efforts.

Lyndsay: The best decision you will make for your wedding is to have a cake designed and handmade by Megan. We are blown away by the attention to detail, quick communication and flexibility with the unexpected date change. I am a forever customer!Thank you Megan for making our big day so special!

Mark Chang: What we ordered VS received. Difficult process, but still followed through even though our wedding had been canceled for the second time. I was looking forward to receiving these but I was fairly disappointed that these are $400 for 6 dozen.
