Cake was an embarrassment. So dry, dense to where your fighting to cut the cake, asked for vanilla custard and they barely put anything. I was so embarrassed. Cake also came banged up.

Ordered an upside down pineapple rum cake..terrible. The cake is so dry, so dense. It literally tastes like a bran muffin more than a cake. Order more traditional cakes and ask for a sample before you place an order. Horrible for my mother’s 45th birthday…if they didn’t know how to make it I wish they said that before wasting my money. It was easy to place an order though.

I was very disappointed when I saw my birthday cake. My boyfriend placed an order of a cherry 🍒 cake, he was told that they were able to make it. When I saw this cake, I thought it was an apple. Everyone at my birthday dinner was trying to guess what shape this cake was. Then to top everything off, they put a WIRE as the stem. This was so frustrating to know that so much money was spend on a cake that was not what was expected. The inside of the cake was falling apart when we cut it, it was not good. I will NOT place another order from here again!!!!!

I asked for a plain cake, just vanilla and chocolate with the filling and they did it. You may think I crazy for wanting a plain cake, but I'm the customer and the did just what I asked. I'm beyond happy. The cake tasted delicious, its soft, spongy, fresh. I even ran in a uber to pick it up and I didnt last a minute inside the store. I'm more that happy thank you all of you in Nora's
