ABC Cake Shop & Bakery

ABC did my cake for my Christmas wedding. It was made to looks like stacked presents, VERY unique. ABC exceeded my expectations and more. The cake was beautiful! It tasted fantastic! I really recommend the spice cake. It was DELICIOUS! We paired it with an apple filling, for one of the "presents". Almost a month later, after all the aspects of my wedding, Im still hearing about how delicious the cake was! Thank you ABC! more

Had an awesome experience with ABC Cake Shop. Initially I stopped in to see the facility and get a feel for their designs and prices. I was very impressed when the owner was assisting customers, and was willing to sit down with me go over pricing, day of the event timeline and design options. I orderd both a grooms cake and a traditional cake. They did an awesome job on both and really went above and beyond to help me design a perfect grooms cake for my husband. (A drum set) more

I went to several cake tastings and was always disappointed at how dry everyone's cakes were! ABC Cake Shop was on my list to try so finally it to ABC Cake Shop...we were so blown away at what we found! Wow!!! The cake are so moist and delicious! There where so helpful when it came to the design. I had already picked one out of a magazine but knew that it required fondant icing which I was scared of since everyone talks about how awful it is. On my third tasting, ABC let me try there Satin Ice fondant icing which was so much better than I expected. I was overjoyed that I could get the design that I wanted without sacrificing the taste! On the actual day the cake came out exactly how I wanted it and tasted so great! I cant wait to have them do our free anniversary cake! more

Good cake, Ordered a sheet cake for a toddler's birthday. The cake was moist and tasty more

We got a lot of compliments on how good the cake was, which is great to hear. I thought ABC cakes had a good variety of flavors and it all worked out very nicely. more

ABC Cake Shop: I have shopped there for years. Their cakes are wonderful, I really like the cake tastes. more

Great Cakes, Great Designs: Went here on a recommendation and it was right on - very cool cake designs (look for the pirate ship) and great tasting. more

The cake tasted amazing. They were very easy to work with. They only down fall was the cake we got had a topper and we didn't want a topper so we asked them to just put flowers and the flowers they put did not match the cake. more

This is your one stop shop if you like to bake. They have everything you need from onsite prepared frosting you can buy, to decorations, to the pretty pastry box to put it in. They are happy to help with hints and ideas to make you next cake project perfect. more

I've been a big fan of ABC Cakes... love them! Actually our whole family orders cakes from there. BUT it seems like every time I ordered a cake from there they screw it all up. My baby shower cake... wrong flavors and sloppy decorating! My son's 1st birthday/baptismal... UGLY CAKES! his birthday cake looked like a tombstone not a #1 and the baptismal cake looked like something I could have done.. AND I CANT BAKE! His 2nd birthday I decided to go with cupcakes, thinking you cant possibly screw up cupcakes. Well i was wrong! They hassled with me about the cupcakes I wanted, I thought I was the customer? and once again ...not what i wanted. If you have been there before you know their cakes aren’t cheap!! Their cakes taste so great I keep going back but keep getting burned! So, I guess a lot of it is my fault. I was hoping 3rd time was a charm...I suggest you take an actual drawing of what you want and be VERY specific if you decide to order a cake from there. Pros: Cakes taste great! Cons: Cannot get orders right... more

I grew up going to this bakery--it was in another location and much smaller--but the goodies never have changed-----It is a MUST if you want awesome cake and pastries. This Albuquerque best bakery by far. I no longer live in Albuquerque, but visit at least once a year and we ALWAYS go to ABC Cake Shop. DON'T MISS IT!!! Pros: Price and selection Cons: Location - need more more

I am a local caterer, who uses ABC's Bakery on a regular basis! Recently, I had an immediate need , their staff was friendly, understanding, and most of all accomodating. The cake that I purchased was a white cake with a delicious lemon filling, topped with a scrumptious icing( just a hint of lemon to compliment, but not overpower). I had so many compliments on the cake- one of the guest inquired if I made the cake- I confessed I did not- she ordered her twins that exact cake for their 9th birthday party. I have read some of the other reviews; and have never experienced a poor product or unfriendly service. However, working with this establishment has been a blessing to my business; and I know without a shadow of a doubt, if there were ever a problem with my order, they would go out of their way to make it right ( even if they had to deliver it to you personally @ your function) .. I know from experience that this type of service will not be received from your local grocery store. If you give them the opportunity, which I am glad I have, and will continue to do! Pros: Quality of products Cons: location more

First a word of caution. They are closed on Sundays. More warnings: you will leave heavier then when you entered. I have been known to have a pastry and coffee and go back and do the same again. It is all but impossible to look at the vast and delicious selection and restrict yourself to only one measly thing. It all looks and tastes too good. I would recommend something but there is no point because it is ALL good. You might not want to bother with something like a sticky bun which other people can do alright with. Get something like a sourthern red velvet cupcakes. The coffee could be better and more consistent. They should work at this because then they would be perfect. But frankly you could skip the coffee altogether and they'd still be worth the trip. We're lucky to have this place and others like it in New Mexico- it's rare Pros: Everything Sweet. Especially the Red Devil Cake Cons: long lines more

I purchased a cake for a baby shower and the cake was extremely dry (chocolate) and the icing wasn't a buttercream which is what I ordered but simply an inexpensive whipped topping. We were all extremely disappointed and neither I (nor any of the other shower attendents) will patronize ABC again! more

I love the decorating at ABC. I've ordered a few from them because themes amuse me. They always come out just as they do in the catalog. The cakes have never come out well. We eat them cause, well they'll get old and we paid so much for them. The cakes are always dry. For being a bakery, they don't do a very good job at baking. Is there a shortage of water? LOL I could do a better job myself. I tried one year. I asked if I could buy a cake set through them and just make it myself. The first lady was helpful about it. The person she referred me to, bit my head off. I just want ONE? Heck no! I have to buy SIX of them! The actual moral of that was I got to learn how much the sets cost. It turns out that they are almost 50% of the cake bill. That's okay but, it still seems a little pricey for a few pieces of minimally detailed plastic and cheap buttercream. I DO know that I am NOT going to order strawberry cake again! That was NOT strawberry in any way. It was white with food coloring. It looked like it was bleeding on the table. LOL Pros: They have great themes and are skilled in creating them. Cons: The food is awful and they're a little pricey. more

Heavenly and to die for should never be used in the same sentence but im sorry these gourmet cupcakes are to die for!!!! I had the wedding of my dreams on July 19, 2008 and ABC made the wedding cake of my dreams. The cake was FABULOUS. My guests were trying to figure out if the cake was real because it looked so pretty. It was the most beautiful cake I have ever seen. It was sectioned into 4 pieces (Chocolate Strawberry Peaches n Cream Key Lime) I can't even put into words how wonderful the taste was. Each Section had its own unique taste. I had no cake left from a cake that could feed 150 people. All of my guest (92) were taking large portions home because it was so good. I actually saw a couple of my guest fussing because they didn't want the cake to be eaten up so they could take some home. I plan on using him for all of my special occasion cakes. I HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend him.I also used him for my mother's 50th birthday celebration(the best CHOCOLATE BROWNIES I have ever tasted). And I am now using them for my nephew 2 year old's birthday party I don't remember how I found out about this place but im glad I did..........THANKS ABC Pros: Everything more

I?m writing to tell you that we were delighted with the cake you made for our graduation party last year, thanks for the time and attention to detail it was very impressive. The customer service was amazing too. Well done, i 've already told all my friends about it. more

ABC's cakes are great. They did my wedding cake last year and I was a little disappointed. They lost the pearls I gave them to use around the edges, so they improvised with frosting (without letting me know. My cake just showed up that way...they never even tried to contact me), and, when the cake was set up, they left it tipping to one side. Not a little, but very noticably. I was happy that my cake did not tip over, but it was tipping so much that it easily could have. The decoration on the cake was simple and elegant as I requested, I was just sad about the pearls. The cake did taste great and there was none left over. Afterward, it took a great deal of effort and quite a few pictures for proof, but they finally agreed to refund 10% of the cost. My husband went back to ABC this week to order a 7 inch round white cake to be decorated like our wedding cake for our anniversary (we didn't save the original top piece). Our wedding cake was decorated simply with smooth, white buttercream frosting and a few s-shaped swirls on the sides, also done with white buttercream. Nothing fancy. Simple and understated. ABC was happy to make the 7 inch round cake for us, but they charged us an additional $10 because it was decorated "like a wedding cake". I'm thoroughly disgusted by this. We paid the $10 because we want to celebrate our first anniversary with a cake decorated like our wedding cake, but how we asked them to decorate it has far less embellishment than all of the cakes in their display case. There are no flowers, nothing extra, just smooth, white frosting with a couple of swirls on the side, but because we mentioned the word "wedding", they threw in the extra charge. ABC makes great cakes, and they know it. They will nickel and dime you with whatever you let them get away with. I still gave them a recommendation because their cakes taste great, but be aware that you'll pay for greatness, and customer service leaves much to be desired. more

The buttercream is to die for. I order a cake for my son's birthday. It was white cake with raspberry filling and the best tasting buttercream in the world............. I would recommend. more
