Momma's Homemade Cakes — Restaurant in Melbourne

The bakery had weird vibes. I was looking for a birthday cake for my son. When I went inside, the first thing I noticed was how hot and muggy it was inside. Had a dusty stuffy closet feel, only warmer. There were very few whole cakes and I saw nothing chocolate. Just stacks and stacks of pre sliced, pre packaged pieces of vanilla cake. No other baked goods observed besides cake pops.

When I walked in there was an angry customer already inside hashing something out with the lady behind the counter. The lady behind the counter kept asking me “are you ready?” When I literally just walked in and had not even really gotten a good look at anything yet.

Out of the 3 whole cakes I saw there (all vanilla) they wanted $50 for a cake Publix would charge $16 for. Needless to say, I got the hell out of there.

Their rent must be awesome, or the owner might be living on a trust fund or something. No idea how this place is open.

update: response to owner.. I get that you are not happy with this review, but it’s honest. I walked in and was just bombarded with prepackaged cake slices and muggy closet feel. — not accepting feedback is not going to help. You didn’t get my business for a reason. But according to you, it’s not you, it’s me.. if your not killin it right now business wise, please take my feedback seriously. Display some cakes in a cold freezer that are not pre packaged. Get rid of all those weird slices. Package stuff to order. Turn down the A/C in their and maybe turn on a fan. Do some dusting. Just not inviting at all. The inside fits the outside unfortunately. A little...

I’m extremely disappointed. The wedding cake that my wife and I ordered was completely botched. It was the most dry and flavorless 2 layered chocolate/vanilla cake imaginable.

This was completely unexpected as the samples we had months prior to our wedding were absolutely delicious!!! (The Blueberry lemon was to die for!!!) However, a week before the wedding I picked up a slice of chocolate cake and it was dry. It was foreshadowing the final outcome and was a total embarrassment to serve our guests :/

For any future weds, THIS BAKERY HAS BEEN SOLD TO A DIFFERENT OWNER and I know that all the 5 star reviews made prior to this posting are from the true “Momma” baker, who isn’t there anymore.

I would strongly advise people to seek other options, as I know that this may be listed as a preferred vendor for certain wedding venues.

The true “Momma”, if you read this, I wish we got to enjoy your cake at our wedding. I find it difficult to believe that after your many years of experience making cakes, that abomination at my wedding was made by you. I tried several of your cake slices months before the wedding, and all of a sudden when there’s a change of ownership it dropped off a cliff. I’m very...

Such a disappointment. My husband and I had tried Mommas cakes back in the summer and loved the flavors. We decided to book with her for our wedding. However, “momma” apparently sold the bakery right before our wedding and she either half assed our cake or had the new people make it, but it was NOT the quality we expected. The cake was so dry it was falling apart into crumbles when we cut into it. Our guests also complained about how dry it was. If you’re not going to do something right then don’t do it at all. Do not play with someone’s wedding…especially after they paid an exorbitant amount of money for a tiny cake! At least if it had been the quality of the original cakes we tried it would have been worth it, but literally Publix could have made us a better cake for cheaper. The cupcakes were also horribly decorated. Honestly I can’t wrap my head around the fact that the original owner could have made such a bad cake, so I assume it’s the new owner. So, in that case, stay away from this bakery as obviously the new management doesn’t know a thing...
