Ally & Eloise Bakeshop — Restaurant in Columbia

I would first like to say that Ally & Eloise came highly recommend (from another baker closed during COVID) when I was searching for a birthday cake back in May. When ordering, I decided to go with the “Ally’s birthday cake” because I am a huge fan of chocolate. It was beautifully iced and had a very nice script “Happy Birthday” on top. However, when we cut into the cake, it was very dry and dense and the frosting was way too sweet. We could barely finish a 1/4 of a slice before giving up. After spending so much money on the cake, we didn’t want to waste it and ended up unloading it on family to help get rid of it. I realize that it’s a pandemic, times are tough, and everyone has a rough day. No worries. Fast forward to this past week when I was again searching for a birthday cake. I figured that everyone deserves a second chance and maybe I just caught them on an off day. Well, this time I ordered the pound cake with chocolate frosting. When I picked it up, the friendly young lady at the window said that it was her, “favorite cake” and it was “so delicious.” Hearing her review, I had my hopes up after the lackluster first cake, and assumed that the prior cake was just a mishap. As before, it was beautifully decorated with the “Happy Birthday” on top. But, unfortunately yet again, it was dense, dry, and had an overly sweet frosting. The frosting also tasted very gritty like it hadn’t been mixed very well. I ordered the 6 inch cake and we have barely eaten 2 slices while the rest is still sitting in the fridge. I really had high hopes based on recommendations, but so far, the cakes I’ve ordered have been inedible. Maybe I’ve ordered the wrong items and have missed their signature cakes? All I know is that I’ve spent over $70 on 2 cakes and haven’t been able to finish a...

I recently hired Ally and Eloise to make my wedding cake and it was wonderful. When I first reached out to the bakery for a cake tasting, I was easily able to book a date/time online. Upon arrival, there was a beautiful array of cakes to taste along with a personal employee there to walk us through each flavor and option. It was wonderful. Then, on my wedding day, they did an incredible job of delivering the cake to the location well and setting it up beautifully. Not only was the cake absolutely delicious, but it was decorated exactly as I always dreamed! Everything was truly wonderful and I am so grateful! If you want a beautiful and delicious cake, look no further than...

Best place to get a wedding cake!!! Instead of going with a custom cake design, we ordered one 14-inch caramel cake and one 14-inch carrot cake for our wedding of about 115 people. The ordering process was smooth and both cakes looked so beautiful. I can’t begin to describe how tasty these cakes are!!! Our guests were gushing about them, and many went for a second slice. To be honest, we were surprised to see how little cake was left at the end of the night! I wasn’t able to properly enjoy the cake during the wedding, so I had a slice of each kind with my morning coffee the next day—these are some of the best cakes I've ever had! Thank you...
