Royal Cakery

Cake tasted great and flavors were awesome, but the decoration was completely different than discussed and nothing like images sent. They were over an hour late and very very hard to get in touch with and left before I saw the cake or had a chance to speak with them. I would buy them remade cakes again but never a wedding cake, especially as expensive as it was. It tasted great but I was sorely disappointed

Our cakes were beautiful exactly as we imagined. Everyone was raving about how fresh tasting and delicious they were.

Shirelle was the ultimate professional and did a wonderful job with our wedding cake and groom's cake. Once we tasted her cakes for the cake tasting we booked her immediately! Her cakes were so delicious and she had so many flavor options to choose from. I showed her pictures of our wedding cake vision and was so amazed when I first saw the cake at the reception. OMG, it looked exactly like the pictures and even better in person. And the cakes tasted amazing too! She also does great cake pulls that all my single girls loved! Without a doubt, I would highly recommend Royal Cakery if you want an amazing wedding cake that you and your guests will love and remember!

The cake was beautiful and taste just as good. So grateful they were able to provide the vision I had with a little twist of their own. Definitely recommend.

My husband and so many of our wedding guests are still talking about his Groom’s Cake that we got from the Royal Cakery! Not only was it delicious and beautiful, but Shirelle was quick to respond to my questions and incredibly personable and professional. I highly recommend the Royal Cakery for any occasion!!

Delicious! I literally can't wait for our one-year anniversary so that we can eat the top tier of the cake! I daydream about it REGULARLY!

We had a few criteria for our wedding cake. We wanted a dairy-free groom's cake, a unique looking cake that didn't rely on fondant, and delivery on a saturday. We originally signed up for a tasting simply because we wanted to do one, and none of the other bakeries, including the one we had already put a deposit down on, were willing to do a tasting at a time that worked with our schedule. However, after trying their cakes, and being impressed by the countless wonderful options they had available, we ended up losing the deposit on the other bakery and going with Royal. We were overjoyed, they could do everything we asked them for. After so much stress with the other bakeries, I kept waiting for something to go wrong, but everything was perfect. Both cakes were beautiful and delicious, with many of our guests saying it was the best wedding cake they had ever had.

Hands down best tasting cake I ever tasted.. Royal Cakery made the wedding cake and groom’s cake for my son’s wedding!! Not only were they both beautiful but tasted amazing!! I will drive an hour to get all my cakes from here on out!! My fiancé says.. it was so good it melts your heart.. so U know that is good!!

Royal Cakery cakes are probably the most delicious cakes I’ve ever had. They really delivered on the flavor and desired looked of our cake. They were easy to connect with and we always got responses to questions or concerns quickly. I appreciate their staff and the work they put in to make my cake amazing.

My husband and I absolutely loved our cake!!! Not only was it beautiful but also delicious… our guests are still asking about our cake details. I would recommend you ladies over and over again!!!!! Thank you for an amazing experience from the tasting to the end result professional and delicious! Brent and I appreciate you! #Foreverandadavis 10/23/2021!

I wish I could rate them 100 stars! My husband and I were so happy with our cakes! These ladies went above and beyond for us and it was delicious!!! They are so talented and helpful! Love these ladies!

Helpful, professional, courteous! Last but not least..... the cake taste GREAT. I would recommend

Choosing the cake was the most challenging thing to me. We wanted a small cake for about 40-50 people and most bakeries in town didn’t want to meet with us for tasting. Shirelle was one of the few, who agreed to meet with us no matter the size of the order. When we tasted her cakes, we knew we have found our bakery - the cakes were absolutely delicious!!! When we saw our cakes at the reception, we were stunned - the cakes were so beautiful - it even exceeded our expectations! Thank you Shirelle!!!

I absolutely love Royal Cakery! We were planning our wedding from out of state and schedule a tasting while we were in town. I wish I could remember the young lady's name who helped us but she was absolutely fabulous and funny! We felt like we were hanging out and eating cake with our family. The cake samples were moist and delicious, during our tasting people were steadily coming in making orders or picking up orders and we got to see a few of their cake designs which were very pretty! I had message a few bakers a picture of the cake design I wanted and Royal Cakery was the only bakery that told me it wouldn't be a problem to do it. Our cake ended up looking just like the picture I sent to them, it was beautiful and delicious! We had a few guests asking us if we had any leftovers. What stood out to me was I had called a few months before asking about if I could increase the serving size because the number of guests who were supposed to attend. When I told Shirelle we were having a dessert table also she was very honest with me and told me I should keep the serving size as is because she would hate for me to have wasted cake at the end of the night. I really appreciated that because some people would not be that honest. I would 100% recommend Royal Cakery for any cake purposes!

Shirelle and her team at the Royal Cakery were absolutely amazing! They were one of the only cake shops in New Orleans that were willing to really take creative to a new level with our wedding cake! They did a toppling wedding cake for us and even provided figurines of the bride and groom that looked exactly that we pictured. Their prices were great and the customer service was amazing. It feels like a really nice southern family shop when you pop in to do your tasting. We felt so welcomed and well taken care of! Our guests couldn’t stop talking about our wedding cake and now we can’t stop talking about the royal cakery!

Shirelle was amazing to work with. She helped us decide what worked well together in our cakes and the look my daughter wanted. We did our tasting in a coffee shop off St. Claude. Also, there is a tasting fee of I think $25. Their tastings were above and beyond any other tasting we participated in. Once we booked our cakes everything else ran like clockwork. On the day of the wedding the bridal cake and groom's cake looked beautiful. They tasted amazing and all we heard was how good the cakes were. Shirelle made the whole process so easy.

We had our wedding cakes made by the Royal Cakery after having a wonderful tasting experience with them. We also had them make a tiered King Cake for our rehearsal dinner. Shirelle and her team are great to work with. The cakes were absolutely beautiful and so delicious!

The Royal Cakery cake was delicious! They did our wedding cake and grooms cake and everyone complimented us on how delicious our cake was. We had 5 different flavors and all of them were amazing. The cake was moist and freshly baked plus it looked beautiful.

Royal Cakery was so easy to work with and their cake is delicious. After trying their cake I knew they were it right away, it’s seriously soo good! They worked with my to find the right cake in my budget. Plus they were completely flexible as our guest count changed. The cake showed up no problem day of and was exactly what I was hoping for. I highly recommend Royal Cakery.

We were so extremely happy with our cake from Royal Cakery! It came out exactly like the picture of the one we wanted and it couldn't have been more perfect or delicious. We would recommend to anyone shopping for wedding cakes! Don't waste any of your time at any other bakery, they are the best!

I cant say enough about how fabulous this bakery is. My family and I visited NOLA in July. We planned a couple cake tastings during our visit. After our tasting, my family and I ordered some good down home cooking, which they also sell at the bakery. I got the sense that this was a friendly family ran outfit where the customer service was personable and genuine. Royal Cakery was always at the top of our list because the tasting price was economical in comparison to other bakeries in the area. I need to also mention that my husband and I aren't really cake fans but we were blown away when we experienced the delicate, not over sweet, decadence of the amaretto flavored cake with the American butter cream icing. I provided them with a picture found on Pinterest and they where able to duplicate the image masterfully. We shall be forever grateful to the Royal Cakery for making our day so sweet.

Royal Cakery is one of the best bakeries in New Orleans. We went to quite a few tastings and they were hands-down the best. Their cakes are fresh and they assemble the cake combinations right before you taste them. Their pricing is just as good as their cakes - I wanted a fairly simple design for my wedding cake and they had the best price out of every bakery we contacted. My husband wanted a more intricate design for his groom's cake - a craps table - and did he get a craps table. I was really impressed with the level of detail on his cake - and it was chocolate and absolutely delicious. The process was so easy with them, the cakes were fresh and delicious and they suggested the perfect size for our number of guests - we even had extras from the reception so we got to enjoy after the wedding!

We LOVED Royal Cakery - we ordered a beautiful wedding cake along with a fun groom's cake. Their artistic talent is incredible and the flavors are amazing. The tasting alone was a great experience; they let us try unlimited combinations of cakes, fillings, and frostings, all baked fresh when we walked in the door. We received so many compliments from guests on the cake flavors and styles we ended up choosing. The Royal Cakery team is kind and helpful, we are so happy with our cake choice!

The BEST tasting wedding cake! First of all, I should say that wedding cake is one of my favorite foods, so I had very high standards coming into wedding planning. However, my entire experience with the Royal Cakery was spectacular. To begin, the cake tasting experience was like no other. I requested a variety of cakes/frostings, and they truly made miniature cake pairings of all of my flavors.. which resulted in over 60 little pieces of cake! I was blown away, and truly every sample of cake was incredible. I ended up choosing an almond layer, a white chocolate/caramel layer, and a red velvet layer. You can tell the quality of the ingredients and the attention to detail in the cake decorations. Cake is moist and fluffy, and the frosting is heavenly. Some of the best buttercream I have ever tried. My cake was beautiful on my wedding day, and I had many guests tell me that they had multiple slices of the cake, because every layer was so delicious! I tried every layer which was SPECTACULAR. Also, very reasonable prices for such an incredible product. Trust me, you will not be disappointed if you choose Royal Cakery for your wedding day! I highly recommend them!

When reading reviews you should look at the very bottom as well, because somehow all their “bad reviews” are located there and I’m sure mine will be added soon enough. When my fiancé and I came in for our cake tasting appointment it was obvious there was a miscommunication between the employees about who booked our cake tasting, and it was most certainly taken out on us. Which they later apologized for and redeemed themselves. Which I should have known better because that was “red flag number one”, but I brushed it aside like we all do. The only reason I gave them “two stars” is because their cakes are delicious, which is very sad because their employees and customer service are unprofessional and rude. When you email the Royal Cakery for any of your cake needs, it sends it to one email, and any employee can reply. Which later creates so much confusion with so many people replying, and a lot of “I don’t know who I talked to.” Trust me, it’s a complete mess. We were going back and forth in pricing and sending pictures like the normal wedding cake process goes, and we were about to send the contract when one morning I get an email (keep in mind this was all in an email). “Another bride came in and booked a huge order on your same date, sorry we won’t be able to make your cakes. Best wishes.” I kid you not, ALL IN AN EMAIL. Of course I called and they had the nerve to tell me “Mam this is the wedding industry, first come, first served.” After I already paid for a cake tasting, which is part of the down payment to secure your date. Please, please do yourself a favor and do not waste your time and money on service like this, especially from “Royal Cakery.” This is a beautiful time and you are already spending so much money, spend it on the good ones. My fiancé and I had another cake tasting today and it was absolutely amazing, the cake and customer service was everything I hoped it would be and should be. I am proud to say Gambino’s Bakery will be doing our wedding cakes. Ask for Kevin, he is great!

Hands down best cake I have ever had! I’m not a sweet flavor fan, and they made our cake so perf ft, I ate more than I should! Amazing!!!!!

THERE WAS NO CAKE LEFT!!! The cake from Royal Cakery was so good that every crumb from the wedding cake and grooms cake was eaten. My wedding planner was shocked because normally a least a layer of cake at weddings is thrown out. My guests raved about how good the cake was that they were eating 2 to 3 pieces each. The cake was not only heavenly but it looked like a dream and was exactly what I had asked for including our soccer ball grooms cake. This place was also amazing for the tasting. We had gone to another well known bakery where they only gave us 3 pieces of cake to taste. Here they brought out a platter of white cakes and chocolate cakes for us to taste many different flavors with different icings. Do yourself a favor and chose Royal Cakery. I also recommend adding one more layer to your cake than you think you need, trust me it will be eaten.

I must first say that both our wedding cake and grooms cake was absolutely delicious. We're still getting compliments on how great the cake tasted. I'm only giving 3 stars because the Royal Cakery did not deliver on the look of the cake I wanted. I even gave them a picture when we hired them of what I wanted the cake to look like. I wanted a semi-naked (lightly frosted) cake with lots of cake peeping through the frosting, with gilded gold flakes on it. Fortunately our ceremony/reception took place at the same location. 10 minutes before the ceremony was starting, I went into the reception area and saw my cake and was so disappointed. The cake was much more heavily frosted than I anticipated, making the cake look poorly frosted. And there was no gold!! We even paid for the gold and it was stated in my contract that there would be gold on the cake. So I immediately called them and she said they were going to come back and put the gold on the cake. And they did so while our ceremony was taking place. After the ceremony when it was time to cut the cake, I noticed there was three tiny little speckles of gold that was barely visible. My photographer wasn't even able to get the gold in the pictures because there was hardly any at all. I am a chef and one of my most anticipated details of the wedding was my cake. And unfortunately it was just disappointing. Thankfully it tasted good. Also, they are not very responsive and hard to get in touch with at times. I wish they had been more communicative and made it a priority to make sure that my vision of what I wanted was cohesive to what they were going to create. If you're going to hire the Royal Cakery, make sure you contact them many times before your event and send them pictures several times of the cake you have in mind to be on the safe side!

I ordered a croquembouche as a wedding cake and it was delicious! Not only that but it looked great and our guests were wowed. Communication was easy and smooth, even when I added extra puffs a couple of weeks before the wedding.

Best cake ever! So moist and delicious, unlike the other cake bakeries people use for weddings. We heard about this bakery from a few people and went for a tasting. They made us fresh cake on the spot and it was ALL delicious. We had 3 flavors of cake for our wedding because they are all great! The big surprise, how gorgeous the cake was. When I spotted the cake at the reception I was so happy! It looked better than I envisioned it. Our guests loved it! You have to get your cake here or you are not getting the best!

We walked into the Royal Bakery and were graciously greeted by three beautiful professional women with the aura of three moms silently conveying moms wanting to spoil a child with the sweetest of confections. The Three Graces were more than helpful in helping us with beauty of design, and nothing was too much trouble nor did we hear, sorry we can't do that. Then they proceeded to bake us a variety of four fresh cakes with suggested fillings. Its was heavenly. After patiently waiting for us to reach decisions, we made a second visit to confirm, not knowing they actually had a professional artist to grant us one more wish. Our creation was safely delivered and assembled carefully. Big smiles and tired eyes let us know they were as happy as we were.It has been told that it was the most beautiful cake at the venue thus far. Guests gobbled up both. Worth the price but worth the effort of these wonderful bakers.

Shirelle and her crew are absolutely amazing. She added a few extra touches to my cake on site and proved why the Royal Cakery is one of the best not just in New Orleans but in the South period! Everyone raved about how great my our cake looked and tasted. Every layer was moist, properly filled and not too sweet. I will be using them for all of my events.

Mrs. Shirelle and the staff at Royal Cakery were amazing! They took our vision and turned it into beautiful, delicious cake! They even made a 3D coast guard ship that matched the one my husband was on! It turned out amazing! The cake was so fresh and we received so many compliments! Their prices were also so reasonable and they were wonderful to work with!

Shirelle Royal did a fantastic job on our cake. It was beautiful, elegant and delicious. She made fresh frosting and fillings when we did our tastings and she is a consummate professional. We were delighted with the wedding cake and apparently so were our guests as there was not a crumb left after we removed the wedding topper!

Royal Cakery exceeded all of my expectations. Not only were my wedding cake and Groom's cake beautiful, but incredibly fresh & delicious! For my wedding cake, I showed them a picture I got from Pinterest, and they were able to make it exactly the same. For the groom's cake, they replicated my husband's fantasy football trophy...It was amazing!! You will not find better quality wedding cakes in New Orleans!

The cake looked exactly as I requested and tasted really good. I received so many compliments. My only complaint is one of the ladies I'm assuming the owner (the older one) was not very polite at all. It was almost like it was an inconvenience. I think they would benefit from allowing only the younger lady to deal with the customer service side of the business, she was super nice.

I highly recommend Royal Cakery for your wedding and grooms cake!! The cake turned out exactly how I wanted and tasted AMAZING!!! We got so many compliments on both of our cakes! They have tons of options for cake flavors and icing flavor combinations. The location of the shop is a little sketchy, but their work is fabulous!!! Their prices seem pretty on par with other bakeries, and they even matched a quote from another bakery that we had gotten. The only downside is that they do not take credit cards. But I would still choose them again because ultimately, I just wanted a cake that not only looked great, but tasted fresh and delicious, and that is exactly what I got! Thanks Royal Cakery!!

OMG!!!! I can't begin to describe how delicious and beautiful my cake was!!! Our reception was Saturday and on Tuesday this cake is still so moist it melts in your mouth!!! My family and guests have all said it was THE best cake they've ever had!!! The staff was so kind and easy to work with!! I would highly recommend the Royal Cakery for any event!!!

Cannot say enough good things about The Royal Cakery. They depicted our wedding cake and grooms cake to my exact description! If you are getting married in New Orleans and want a beautiful cake that is also yummy, this is your place!

BEST WEDDING CAKE EVER! I cannot say enough good things about Shirelle Royal and the ladies from Royal Cakery. We came in with an idea and it was executed to perfection. The look, the taste, everything was better than I ever imagined. They were a joy to work with! Good luck trying to pick your flavors as every single bite at the tasting was better than the one before. We went with Devil's Food Cake with fresh strawberries, Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Filling and Red Velvet Cake with cream cheese. AMAZING! Thank you so much Royal Cakery for the most delicious cake we have ever seen and tasted! Brent & Herb

The tasting we had at Royal Cakery, months before the wedding, was so much fun. There were some great choices and we left wondering if we would want to eat anything else that day. But that day the bride and groom selected two flavors and the decor of the cake. The final product did not disappoint. It was truly gorgeous and exactly as the bride and groom had requested. The two flavors, praline and red velvet, were so delicious. Anyone who had a slice commented that it was one of the best cakes they had ever had. The cake was a hit, both for its beauty and its taste. I would definitely recommend Royal Cakery

These cakes are the best wedding cake I've ever tasted. Beyond that, we brought one photo for each of our cakes and they exceeded expectations...they included lights on the groom's cake when we didn't even request that...they were gorgeous. It's hard to beat a cake that looks so great and tastes even better! HIGHLY recommend

The Royal Cakery was a dream come true from start to finish. We traveled from Texas for our tasting and were met with such warmth it was like talking with family. Not only did they give amazing advice for cake flavors, they helped me cut costs! On our wedding day I couldn't believe how gorgeous our wedding cake was and how perfect my husband's Seinfeld groom's cake was. Our jaws almost dropped when we tasted the cake for the first time. The Royal Cakery creates art that tastes even better than it looks. Trust me. Don't go to anyone else!! :)

Shirelle was a pleasure to work with for my wedding and groom's cakes! The cakes were gorgeous, and they were by far the most deliciously memorable wedding cakes I've ever eaten. Yes, I am biased, but I truly mean it AND I had multiple guests say that it was the best wedding cake they'd ever had. We lucked out to have some leftovers, in addition to the top layer, so my parents and sister continued to enjoy it after the wedding. When I was on my honeymoon and found out there was extra, I arranged for my sister to fly back to Washington DC with some more for my husband and I to enjoy. I highly recommend Royal Cakery!

Mrs. Shirelle and the rest of the ladies at The Royal Cakery are amazing. Her cake is the best I've ever had, hands down, and her decorating skills are out of this world. She made our engagement cake, wedding cake, and grooms cake and all three were perfect. Amazing team to work with!

Shirelle was a joy to work with for our wedding and groom's cakes. They were DELICIOUS, and exactly as we discussed. I surprised my husband with a groom's cake as that is not a tradition in Germany, and he LOVED it. I sent Shirelle and team pictures of his Porsche, and they captured every detail in a delicious chocolate cake. Thank you for a great experience!!!!

The cake was not only visually gorgeous but it tasted amazing! Loved working with the Royal Cakery. They were amazing!

I literally cannot write enough words to tell you how amazing Shirelle & Royal Cakery is! We had her make our cake for our wedding - and it was absolutely fabulous. Every person at our wedding said it was the best wedding cake they had ever had...it was really that good! It didn't take long for our guests to eat every last slice of the cake. Shirelle was amazing to work with (she's so sweet!). She has so many delicious flavors to choose from that make her cakes very unique as well! We had white chocolate cake, cream cheese icing & caramel in between layers. If you haven't found someone to make your cake yet - call Royal Cakery - your guests will LOVE the cake & it will look beautiful too!!!

Our wedding and grooms cakes were beautiful and delicious! The Royal Cakery was so easy to work with! Plus, they are very affordable. We would use them again in a heartbeat.

Royal Cakery made two fabulous cakes for our wedding, both equally delicious. The wedding cake was magnificently beautiful, and the groom's cake was creative and fun. Shirelle and her staff treated us in a friendly and professional manner and hosted a tasting to die for! We HIGHLY recommend Royal Cakery!

My sister in law used Royal, and all I heard about was how amazing it was. So I decided that I would book a tasting with them first before I went to any other bakeries, as I knew it was tried and true. We picked 4 combinations of cakes and icings, and waited. They started making our samples as soon as we chose them, so of course we didn't mind waiting knowing we were getting fresh cake samples! Their tasting portions were so generous, I left full. Once we tasted and chose, we worked on the design. I had a picture that I wanted almost replicated. I was going to get fresh flowers put on it from my florist, thinking it would be cheaper. She suggested sugar flowers cascading down the cake. My then fiance did not know what he wanted for a grooms cake (of course), so she asked a few questions to spark his imagination. As soon as she suggested if he liked what he did for a living (helicopter mechanic), he suggested a tool box with a raised lid, with some tools inside. I was thankful for her help on that, because we got really excited for his cake. When she totaled up the price, we were floored. So reasonable! The day of the wedding came, and as my dad and I were waiting in the reception area before I walked down the aisle in the gardens (Champagne Palace), the owner mentioned the cakes. I forgot about them so we went look, my dad and I were amazed! The picture I gave her for my cake was PERFECTLY executed. It wasn't complicated by any means, but she got the look and detail exactly how I wanted. The sugar flowers, I have no words other than they might as well have been real! So well done, not a single flower with an imperfection. And Chris' cake.. Oh my goodness, a real life toolbox! Hand crafted chocolate wrenches and screwdrivers, drawers with handles and all. It was too cool. His cake was red velvet, and I'm pissed that we only got a slice each. I'm contemplated asking if I can buy just a sheet cake for Christmas, it was amazing!! Our wedding cake was white chocolate cake with strawberry filling, with white chocolate frosting.. Amazing!!! The other layers were hazelnut praline, a New Orleans spin on a classic cake. I totally recommend this family run business!

I would very highly recommend Shirelle and her staff! We hired her over a year in advance, but 6 months out had to make a major change. I discovered a gluten allergy and feared that I would not be able to enjoy my wedding cupcakes. Shirelle made a portion of the cupcakes gluten free so that I would be able to enjoy them. She also made the top layer gluten free. Both her gluten free and her regular (which I had prior to my allergy discovery), are absolutely amazing! She also made a zombie groom's cake, complete with figurines of my wife and I killing zombies that were climbing up the cake. It was perfect!

Royal Cakery creates such magnificent wedding cakes with the finest ingredients. Highly recommend their service!

I must have visited over ten different bakeries, before coming across the Royal Cakery. My aunt actually recommended this bakery for me to check out. From the moment I walked in I felt like I had known the staff my whole life. Raynetter was such a dear. Patience is a virtue and Raynetter remained patient and calm through all of my antics about picking my wedding cake. She kept my dream alive with my simplistic, elegant, clean wedding cake fantasy. While offering the best tasting wedding cake ever. I am not usually a sweets person, but this cake was to die for! Thank you for everything, especially making my little people come to life.

Royal Cakery made an absolutely wonderful, yummy tasting wedding and grooms cake! It was fun trying to decide on all the flavors they had to offer. We decided to mix it up and do different flavors on each tier. When it came to the design, I brought in a picture from a magazine and they were able to replicate it and make it just how I wanted it! And my groom was definitely please with his grooms cake. He loved the speckled trout and all of our guests loved that it said "He's a keeper!" ;) They truly had great service and wonderful quality. Everything was delivered on time and tasted fabulous! We can't wait for a year to come so we can defrost our top tier, so we can enjoy it all over again!!
