Cakes & Gourmet Goodies, formerly Dream Bakery, has been making sweet dreams come true in Austin and the surrounding areas since 2005. As a retail bakery with a ghost kitchen in the Austin area, we are able to offer an extensive menu that includes wedding cakes, grooms cakes, cupcakes, cake balls, cookies, brownies, tarts, cheesecakes, and other desserts. We also offer brunch items and gift baskets for the days before or after your occasion. We even offer gluten-free (in a dedicated kitchen), vegan, and low-carb/sugar-free/keto-friendly options (because everyone deserves some sweetness in their life)!
Our friendly staff will help you design the perfect cake or dessert table, whether you are looking for simple elegance, over-the-top glam, or something truly unique. (We love a challenge!) And our talented team of cake decorators has many years of experience creating both buttercream and fondant cakes that taste every bit as good as they look.
Finding the right cake should be one of the most enjoyable parts of the wedding planning experience, and we want to make it easy! Full tasting consultations are available by appointment. Or, if you know what you want and just need to check the "cake" box, you can send us an inspiration picture and make arrangements to pick up a tasting box to enjoy at your leisure. We'll follow up with a phone call to confirm all the details, and you'll be on your way. On a strict budget? Ask about our semi-custom packages. We appreciate that every couple has different priorities and will do our very best to find a dessert option that meets your needs!

We are a bakery, that makes both gluten-free (in a dedicated gf space) and conventional (in a separate kitchen). That said, we make cakes, specialty cakes, cookies, fudge, bite-sized desserts, and cookie cakes that are indulgent and delicious. We strive to make beautiful cakes that are also scrumptious. Our main goal is to bring a little extra joy to your celebration, by making a lovely cake or an exciting cake, to help you celebrate your special day. We also offer cakesicles, slices of cake, and even to-go sample cake boxes, for those who would like the experience of having cake, but don't need an entire cake. Or for those that want individual portions for the guests, instead of a whole cake. For large parties such as weddings, we make tiered cakes, un-tiered cakes, and dessert tables. We would love to help make your special day perfect!

As someone who has been gluten free for years, I knew that finding a wedding cake that was both beautiful and delicious may not be the easiest task. However, after purchasing a sample box from Dream Bakery, I knew that wouldn't be a problem! Both our Groom's cake at the rehearsal dinner and our Wedding cake at the reception were exactly what we wanted them to be. Darlyn was able to create a beautiful tiered cake for the wedding that looked exactly like my inspiration pictures and tasted divine. We chatted on the phone before the big day to iron out delivery specifics, and she was prompt and professional in her setup. The Groom's cake was my baseball-loving husbands dream, and he was thrilled with the chocolate flavor. Overall we are beyond impressed with Dream Bakery & Darlyn - the sweetest part of our day!

I ordered my wedding cake from Dream! When plans with a previous baker fell through, the staff at Dream Bakery stepped in two weeks prior to my wedding. Everyone I spoke with was very attentive and provided us with some of the most delicious cake! I am so looking forward to going back and trying some of their other delicious treats.
Any questions?

Communication between staff members and customers could use some work. Hit or miss on friendly customer service. They kind of act like it’s a hassle to deal with you. Cake is delicious though! Would be good for a slice or two but definitely wouldn’t recommend dropping $500 on a wedding cake here
response 06/08/2021
Hi Shannon, I am so sorry to hear you did not have the best experience. Our staff is usual...
ly always willing to help and cheerful. I will definitely make sure I speak with all staff to make sure this kind of uneasiness doesn't happen again. Thanks, Angel

My husband and I used Dream Bakery for our wedding last month. They made our wedding cake and groom’s cake, and even a couple of gluten free chocolate cupcakes for our Best Man who has celiac disease. If you’re considering Dream Bakery for any occasion, do it! Such a wonderful team; they took our ideas, made them even better, and brought them to life! We had a four tier wedding cake with vanilla cake, vanilla buttercream filling, and vanilla buttercream frosting. The groom’s cake was a red velvet sheet cake with cream cheese frosting and tons of fondant work. Our cakes looked absolutely beautiful and tasted wonderful! Our guests were raving about the designs and taste. Even our Best Man said his cupcakes were outstanding and he wanted more! You won’t be disappointed with Dream Bakery!

Dream Bakery did such a fantastic job at the tiered cake and grooms cake for our wedding! The tiered cake was delicious with it's two flavor combos and thank you so much for the gluten free grooms cake, so delicious, no one knew it was gluten free! We're still finishing the leftovers and we were very please with how beautiful the design was for both! They definitely paid attention to the details and helped bring my vision to life!

If you're looking for an amazing cake at an affordable price, you should definitely look into Dream Bakery! I had Italian cream cake and chocolate cake at the wedding... They were both equally AMAZING. The ladies at the bakery were very accommodating and easy to work with. Highly recommend!

We ended up with 2 cakes for our wedding and they both turned out great! Our tasting really helped us nail down what we wanted and the staff at Dream did a great job of making sure it turned out perfect, even in the Lavender Vanilla that was an uncommon flavor. Thanks!

Dream Bakery did a phenomenal job for our wedding. We had 4 different cakes and they were each so delicious and beautiful. The most delicious cake ever and they were the bear vendors to work with. Their prices are very reasonable and they were beyond professional, prompt and on time.

We wanted a vegan wedding cake that was so good that nobody would even notice or care what it was made out of. Dream Bakery made it happen for us. The prices were far lower than other places we looked at and their customer service was excellent.

Loved our cake! It was not only beautiful and exactly what we imagined, but it was just as delicious as the day we tasted it 9 months prior. : ) Delivery was on time, and they are quick to respond via email/phone. Very easy to work with!

Dream Bakery did a great job on my wedding cake. I waited until the last minute to get a cake due to some unforeseen reasons, but Dream Bakery came in and saved the day. I don't normally ever eat cake at weddings, but this cake was toooo good not to eat. After we did the ceremonial cake cutting my husband ran off to touchbase with the DJ and I stayed at the cake table eating the rest of our slice (and got some more). The cake was beautiful and exactly what I asked for, they were upfront and honest and helped us make a choice on a cake that would fit my budget. We ended up going with carrot cake and italian cream cake, it was so delicious! I definitely recommend Dream Bakery and will be using them for any future cake needs.

We had Dream Bakery make our wedding cake and it was amazingly delicious! So pleased with their cake. The only thing that was a little upsetting was that their delivery fee to Dripping Springs was $175. We felt this was ridiculous and ended up just picking the cake up.

I gave a talk to some chemistry teachers once on how students can use chemistry in real life. The owner of this bakery was presenting. She understood the science behind making good desserts/cakes. She provided us with very tasty samples back then.
When I got married, I knew I had to try the cakes from Dream Bakery. My fiance at the time and I went in for a tasting. We tried 4 flavors of our choice, with fillings of our choice. All 4 were amazing. We knew we had our bakery right then and there.
We went with chocolate with raspberry filling, even though it was a tough choice. We brought pictures of similar designs we liked. The owner worked with us to figure out exactly what design we wanted.
The day of the wedding we got the cake, it was so incredibly beautiful. Even better, it tasted just as great as it did at the tasting. It was so moist and the ratio of the sweetness of the cake to the tartness of the raspberry filling was perfect.
These cakes are very reasonably priced too. We tried a few other places that didn't compare to the taste of this one, and were around the same price. With the difference in quality, Dream Bakery was the obvious choice.

I went to about 5 or 6 cake tastings, and I fell in love with this one. Taste was amazing!!!! I highly recommend this place. There was a certain way I wanted my cake, looking like a tree branch, I sent her a drawing I made and she did an amazing job turning it into a cake! Also, the grooms cake was a Jack Daniels bottle, also an amazing job, with chocolate dipped strawberries around it. I highly recommend this place!

It really was a dream working with Dream Bakery. Their cakes are classic, beautiful, and so delicious! The cost was great, too! When I placed the order Dream Bakery was offering 20% off of 3 tiers and higher cakes...I ended up getting four tiers. I didn't want to cut the cake because it was so beautiful! They also have delicious gluten-free options since I was a gluten-free bride! I would recommend this vendor to any and everyone in need of a beautiful cake for a special occasion...I'll definitely be going back.

You will NOT be disappointed with this bakery! They have the most delicious cakes and the sweetest people. We loved the owner so much just from our initial consultation that we invited her to our wedding! The cakes were fabulous; all of our guests absolutely LOVED how the cakes looked and especially how they tasted! My maid of honor was so impressed that she too will be using Dream Bakery for her wedding in August. Thank you so much Azar, Marla, and everyone at Dream Bakery for our wonderful wedding cakes!

My cake was absolutely delicious and looked perfect. The employees were just a little clueless and I had several back and forth confusing phone calls after being overcharged. It all worked out in the end.
