💕 We originally came here to pick up a birthday cake, but we walked out with both a cake AND a limited-edition hot chocolate.
🎂 Birthday Cake - Tropical Cloud (Regular Menu) A beautifully tall round cake with a coconut bean buttercream finish. Every layer was balanced, fresh, and just the right level of sweetness. It was a total hit at the celebration — everyone loved it! 🥥🎉

☕ #041 – Pink Don’t Shrink (Hot Chocolate Festival 2025) A pink watermelon-strawberry-cotton candy hot chocolate topped with chantilly whip, strawberry coulis, and a fluffy cloud of cotton candy. 🍓☁️ It also came with a strawberry cheesecake macaron on the side! Super fun and creative!

Read moreThis place is known for being great at cakes. So I decided to try.
The rubyberry cake is phenomenal. Might be the best buttercream cake I've ever had. The sponge is impossibly light and fluffy while still moist. It melts in your mouth and is not too sweet. The cream is silky smooth and also light. It has a cooling sensation in your mouth as it melts. It tastes like ruby chocolate in a cloud form, but not as sickly sweet. It's addicting and easy to devour! How it retains the moisture while not being soggy, and full of delicate texture, is fascinating.
I came here to consider options for a birthday cake and this place might be the winner. I am just wondering if there's even more flavors than what is showcased as we are looking for more flavors.
Also, for the hot chocolate festival, this one was my favorite by far. This year's first rotation was 'pink don't shrink'. Bursting with rich strawberry flavors and it all worked right together, unlike a lot of eclectic flavors I had. The macaron was heaven and the whipped cream was authentic real whipped cream, with that full bodied cream flavor.
Cake slice with Hot Chocolate Festival takeaway drink was $20.75. One of the only times I can actually justify the price, and may even be willing to pay more for the uniqueness, quality and delicious experience. This place...
Read moreI shamelessly wanted to buy my boyfriend an ice cream cake from DQ but walking around downtown will only melt it. I researched and I saw this place. I called ahead and asked if they had the normal chocolate cakes etc. Sadly, they dont have chocolate cakes on standy, they only had lemon strawberry and london fog. I am not a fan of fruit cakes because some fruits are fake and dead, i do not like london fog because i ate the ice cream version of it, but I both got them anyway. Note on pick up: 30mins hold = no credit card More than 30mins hold = give credit card Thank God i got there before 30mins. I bought the 6' Lemon Strawberry and London Fog, $50. And went to deliver the cakes. Now the test, will boys like these fancy cakes? AND THEY DID! i loved the London Fog so much that I kept on eating it and forgot to switch with my boyfriend. I was only going to taste it! Some took more than 1slice, shows you how good it is. I was thanked and people wanted to know where I bought these cakes. I told them the place is right infront of them if 1block was not there. WOHOO! Glad to say that the surprise treat for my boyfriend was a success! I was even told that I should come to their work more Often HA!!! Thanks Cadeaux for making me an awesome girlfriend!!!! I WILL BUY FROM YOU AGAIN EVEN IF YOU ARE TOO FAR FROM THE...
