Ray's Cakes — Local services in North Miami Beach

Ray's is a very popular bakery known for their specialty Haitian cakes. It's denser than typical cake but still moist and flavored with rum. I prefer Haitian cake over other types of cake. The icing, which has a hint of almond, just fits my flavor preference more than others.

Have been a customer of Ray's for several years. A few years ago, once I found out they also sell cupcakes, I was coming a lil too often. Had to cut back on the visits! But when I am looking to get a cake for special occasions, I certainly have Ray's on the list.

My favorite thing about Ray's is that even if you walk in, you can buy a ready to go cake, right on the spot. So if you're on the way to a party, you can stop in and get the . The only time this hasn't worked for me is when I just miss their operating hours. Once the door is locked, game over.

For the most part, it's no line, no wait. Service is straight to the point - not friendly, not rude, just a "get your transaction done and go" kinda vibe. The location is walk-in with no seating. Prices are reasonable for what you get - these are homemade cakes, not mass produced and the product is...

Terrible experience. I was referred to this bakery because I wanted a nicely decorated cake for my baby shower. I went 2 months in advance and the lady at the register informed my it was too early to order. She said I should return the week of my shower. I waited until 9 days before my event and when I went I was then told custom cakes should be order 2-3 weeks in advance. I explained the prior person gave me different information, which is why I waited until 9 days before. I was instructed to send an email that day and was assured the cake person would call me the following morning. Never received the call, so I called and was told she was not in. The following day I notice I received an email from her. I responded to her question. Now they close for 2 days. 3 days later after I called again I finally get a call back and they quote me nearly $500 for a 2 tier cake with a bow. Nothing special. Not even the decor I wanted. This is the most ridiculous thing I ever encountered....

I do not recommend this place for cakes! The owners daughter Judy was very rude to me and lack compassion and customer service! She was very sarcastic while I was trying to tell her that the cake I previously received was burned on the bottom and the cake wasn’t baked fresh. Judy had the audacity to ask if I wanted to work for the bakery because she needed staff. (I complained about how rude the front staff was to be over the phone, and her answer was if I want the customer service to be better than I should apply! I told her she couldn’t even afford to pay me and I would never be working there because of how they treat their customers. I DO NOT RECOMMEND and I will never go back. I will never...
