went there during the holidays - they were closed for 2 weeks for there own holiday vacation apparently. Went yesterday (monday) they are closed mondays (always!!!!) then went today (tuesday) walked up at 9:58..they open at 10...waited outside in the cold until 10:05 when i finally knocked on the door. An older women let me in. I asked for pictures and a price quote on a very specific design i had found on pinterest. The women literally had to go back in the back section to ask "Darcy" for answers to my simple questions SEVEN times! She couldnt find any pictures of the kind of cake i wanted to see - and finally brought Darcys cell phone out for me to look at. Um how about a portfolio of some kind ladies? I finally got the answers i needed (after some push back from me b/c they refused to do only green and blue sprinkles - said they couldnt - until I SUGGESTED they use fondant) and when i looked down to see what the price quote was for a 6inch round cake - the price started at $108.00! WHAT? for a 6inch round cake made to look like a stack of pancakes with sprinkles? What a joke! If Darcy wants to keep business in this area she needs to train her staff and not expect that people will pay that much for a tiny cake. Im not a cheap-o by any means - but i went to publix and ordered a 7 inch round AND a sheet cake that will be JUST as cute and JUST as yummy for a total of $40bucks!

Ive only just recently discovered Cakes by Darcy and I must say I was pleasantly surprised and impressed with the product that makes its way out of this quaint Roswell gem of a bakery. The staff is experienced, knowledgeable, and pleasant to talk to. They often will go out of their way to make sure you get the perfect cake that is not only fitting for the occasion but personalized for the individual or event. These cakes are freshly baked, carefully set up, and beautifully decorated by Darcy herself. Ive seen the time and care that goes into these creations and it makes it worth every penny. Sure, youll spend a lot less money at your local grocery store, but that is to be expected when the cakes are made by machines, frozen and shipped in bulky boxes to later be prepared by an associate. Not the case at CBD. The quality, know-how, and talent that surrounds the product is no comparison. Lastly, the customer service is so outstanding that if you have any problems the help is there. Darcy and her staff are always more than willing to make sure you have the best experience. All it takes is bringing it to their attention :)

I came in and asked about a custom cake. They said they could do on a 1/4 sheet (the smallest size) FOR $130.00. The smallest size in vanilla. My jaw dropped! I called another bakery RHODES FAMILY BAKERY and they said they could do it on a 1/2 sheet (WHICH IS MUCH BIGGER) for $50.00. I am so glad I didnt go there. Unless money is absolutely no object i would never go to cakes by darcy. I wont be going there again. UPDATE: So I picked up my cake from rhodes bakery. Prefect! I felt like I should have paid more for such a cute cake. it was only $46 for the cake. So when everyone sees the cake they love it. Here is the best part. It tasted amazing it was moist and delicious. I am so annoyed that I have been wasting my money on cake that doesnt even taste good at cakes by darcy.

If I had one word to describe my interaction with Cakes by Darcy, it would be uppity. I know their products taste good. My best friend has ordered from them a few times before for various events. After reading some of the other reviews, I must say I am pretty shocked at the attitude presented in their policies. Had I read that first I would not have been so surprised that they refused to do the border design on the cake I wanted for my daughters 1st birthday party. They didnt want to do it because there was "too much going on" and it looked like a grocery store cake. Okay...I just got the feeling that they would rather be exclusively upscale and stylish. So maybe custom cakes isnt the right word, since they will not customize entirely.

Im shocked to read some of the negative reviews. My husband proposed with a beautiful two tiered cake that tasted divine and looked it too! We had a wonderful cake tasting at Cakes by Darcy and they made our wedding cake and our grooms cake. The grooms cake was a 1970 Austin Mini that my husband owns. I also used them for my bridesmaid luncheon. Ive had nothing but wonderful service from everyone who works there, including Darcy. My husband and I just celebrated our one year anniversary and ate the top layer of our cake. It was still delicious!!! I highly recommend Cakes by Darcy and will be calling them in half an hour to put in an order for my housewarming party.

LOVE LOVE LOVE! My family and I have been ordering cakes here since I was in high school. And I just placed my order for my wedding cake here! The team at Cakes by Darcy goes above and beyond to make sure you get the cake you want (and for the price you can afford). They have always made great recommendations for alternatives to stay in your budget. My recommendation: Notice how smooth the icing is on all of the cakes before you ask to have it covered in fondant. Not necessary!! Their cakes are so pretty and the outside is perfectly smooth every single time! Try the Strawberry cake with strawberry preserves, too!! Delicious :)

TERRIBLE, I had ordered the cake for my son s graduation day party 5 days prior to the incident, PAID up FRONT, only to arrive the day of with NO CAKE MADE!! They lost my order and i had literally 20 people coming over for his graduation celebration in 2 hrs!! I was MORTIFIED at how the management of this establishment handled this situation!! They literally suggested for me to return in a few hrs and they would have a CAKE made!! R u kidding me?? I will NEVER return here, it s OVERPRICED and to loose a CAKE order after it has been paid for up front at a large sum of MONEY!! Forget it, I ll take my chances at WALMART!

I had a phenomenal experience ordering a wedding cake from Cakes by Darcy. Unlike the many of other bakeries I visited, they did not try to push me into buying something that I didnt want. They helped me pick out the perfect cake design and were willing to work with my small budget. Their customer service and attention to detail were phenomenal. Im pretty picky about cake, but their cake tasted amazing and they had a wide variety of cake and filling options. My husband and I were so touched with our experience that we are planning to order one of their specialty cakes every anniversary!

As a cake fan, this is the best cake I have ever tasted. I initially had one of her creations at a birthday party and I decided to place an order. The service was good and the cake was absolutely delicious. I read a few negative comments about the services and the taste of the cake and Im convinced that these reviews must have been written by competitor. It would be nice if the cakes come with a smaller price tag but I understand that you really do get what you pay for. In this case, you are paying for a high quality, delicious, piece of art work. It is worth giving it a try.
