Angi and her crew of awesome bakers are the best in Austin. They always come through for me and I can guarantee that I have some of the most outrageous requests that she has seen!! Sometimes I have things pop up that are last minute and Angi always accommodates me. She is not bothered by all my special requests for Gluten Free cakes and sweet bites and always delivers when I can't make it to the bakery for pick up. Hands down the best bake shop in ATX. Love Blue Note Bakery!!!

Blue Note Bakery made a beautiful display cake for Chick-fil-A Village at Westlake's 10th Anniversary, and a delectable red velvet cake for our staff to eat. They did it on a tight turnaround too! It was a teeny pit pricy, but I had a positive experience overall :)

I needed a cake and left getting it to the last minute because I'm a doofus who doesn't know anything about buying cakes. I went in on Thursday totally unprepared so far as color/flavor preference and what I wanted the cake to "say." (Happy Birthday, maybe?) The Blue Note folks were very patient and helpful even though they were clearly busy doing a fancy cake tasting for some other customers. I didn't buy a cake that day but I left feeling encouraged. The next day I decided to get flowers (her favorite) and color coordinate the cake to that. I called Blue Note that morning and sent them a picture of the floral arrangement. I was able to pick up a beautiful 'cake bar' the same day. T'was delicious, too.

I've ordered from Blue Note for personal and work events and my experience has been fantastic. My clients and guests loved everything Blue Note provided, and my personal experience with the staff there has always been stellar. Please keep in mind that this is not a Walk In Bakery. Blue Note makes custom baked goods to order, so when you walk in, you're walking into an office with a kitchen attached in the back. I highly recommend Blue Note, and will continue to use them in the future.

You will not be disappointed!!! This place is gluten-free person's DREAM COME TRUE!!!! My friend bought my birthday cake from here. The presentation was amazing. Such a beautiful, yummy, piece of art work. The cake was creamy, smooth and moist. The 3 flavors I had were Chocolate Caramel, Vanilla Lavender and Lemon Raspberry (my fav). The cake was cut into bite size squares and was a huge success. Thank you Blue Note for making my birthday!!!

My friend had the most amazing "Adventure Time" cake you've ever seen made here, so when it came time for my boss' birthday, I called Blue Note Bakery to see what they could whip up. I had very little time, and though it wasn't enough for such an intense cake, they created super cool, custom cake bars that fed his entire party. With just a few guidelines, the cake bars were a hit! They incorporated his beloved dog "Bean", favorite colors, and flavors. It was a nice treat for a person that's hard to buy for. Very thoughtful and tasty product! Check them out.

Blue Note made the groomscake for our wedding - it was great! They made it look like my husband's record player and even made the "record" on the cake the same album as our first dance song. Guests mistook the cake for an actual record player!!

Personally I wasn't a huge fan of the flavor (hubby's choice!) BUT I am pining for their tie-dye cake we tried at our [awesome, fun, delicious!] tasting!

Great team, professional and interesting. Tasty and beautiful work!

Blue Note Bakery is by far the best bakery in Austin. Working with them for my daughter's wedding cake was pure pleasure. From the tasting to the delivery of the finished cake, it was a wonderful experience. The cake not only looked beautiful - it tasted delicious. I highly, highly recommend Blue Note Bakery - you will be thrilled with their service, their artistry and the taste of the finished product.

These guys followed the design I sent them. The cake and cupcakes looked very pretty.
In my opinion, the flavors weren't outstanding (red velvet and cream cheese), it wasn't bad at all though. I'd say flavors are 6/10. I also felt that the cake was too small for the price they charged and the amount they said it would serve.

While planning a wedding in Austin I had the opportunity to sample the deliciousness at Blue Note Bakery. Angela is wonderfully creative and a delight to help design an unique wedding cake. Now that I have recently moved to Philadelphia we have chosen to change our wedding location. Don't get me wrong, I am excited to get married in Philly, but I will miss getting my beautiful cake.

Blue Note did my cake for my baby shower.. it was the best cake ever I and all my people had..
Taste and design of the cake was amazing.. recommended for everyone.
My only issue is that they do not do delivery.. I wish if they add this service with no extra charges .

I wish I could show you a picture of the cake they made for a friends wedding, it looked just like their RV that they are retiring in and they were standing outside by the fire pit. It was such a hit with everyone and tasted wonderful too.

I just ordered my 4th cake from Blue Note. They're prompt and explicit with email. When I upload pictures of what I want and give them my price range, they always give me options. Camera phones flash from everyone at the party to take cake photos, and we're always told, "This is amazing, is it Blue Note?" Every time.

We first had Blue Note at the 2016 Edible Austin Chef Auction. The sweet, creative cake bars were delicious and beautiful to look at. When it was time to plan the company holiday party, it was a no brainier to use Blue Note. They have a wide variety of cake and icing flavors (even GF) and creative designs. We look forward to using them again!

We just moved to Austin in time for my son's 3 year old birthday party and he wanted a super hero themed party. Now he's not a big cake fan so we usually do cupcakes and cookies. I was really interested in the cake bars at Blue Note and so we got those instead of cupcakes and also some cookies. All I gave them was the theme and a couple of concept pics and they gave us some super awesome cake bars and cookies! My son was also thrilled. He loved the design and really enjoyed the cookies. At the party venue our party planner thought the cake bars were truly awesome and said that they were so much better than cupcakes as they were easier to serve and clean up from. They were also seriously delicious!! I see many more cake bars in our future! Thank you for helping make his birthday so yummy!

I am ordering a cake for my wedding this upcoming April. Angela was pleasant over the phone and was understanding when I had to reschedule the tasting. She was sure to have a LARGE sample of my favorite flavor and recommended the best filling and icing. She was able to take a picture I had and quickly redraw it and understood the important things I wanted for the cake. I would recommend her as a professional and it's always good to support local businesses.

Found out about them from Cake Wrecks (they were a Sunday Sweets). I basically handed them a bunch of little images I liked (on Pinterest) and the made an incredible classy white wedding cake with purple accents and groom's cake (gluten-free too). Both were delicious! Guests loved the cake (and even the folks who didn't need gluten-free cake were trying that one out!). We took their advice and ate the top tier the week after our wedding, then ordered a new six-inch cake for our anniversary!

Blue Note has provided cakes for both my wedding and my wife's birthday. They nailed it every time, showing artistry and amazing culinary skills in each one. For a week after my wedding, the best part of my day was coming home and eating leftover cake made of red velvet or cookies and cream.

I had an awesome, exquisite 70th birthday. Wanted a music theme and it was perfect.....down to the edible guitar. Sean was fun to work with and the chipotle chocolate with Carmel sea salt filling was great...not too spicy just right. The one for 25 fed a lot more. Go do a special occasion.

Excellent customer service. I got my wedding cake design and made at Blue Note and it was so delicious. The cake looked exactly how she designed. The was delivered on time and everyone loved it. Definitely recommend blue note.

I'm ordering a cake for my wedding in Austin in May, and I could not have been more pleased with my consultation experience!

The ladies at Blue Note were so kind and helpful, and really got me excited about the beautiful cake they're going to make!

And most importantly, the cake was DELICIOUS!

My Vanilla Cake with Bacon Ganache & Pecan Porter Buttercream was absolutely AMAZING! So delicious, moist, and beautifully decorated!My guest's and I savored every bite! I waited seven months to order this cake for my birthday, because I had tried it at the That Takes the Cake annual cake show, and have been craving it ever since! So needless to say this cake is unforgettable, lol! Thank you Angi and staff for making my day special, and making it a perfect addition to my Kate Spade theme! :D

To celebrate my 65th Birthday and Eligibility for Medicare, I chose Blue Note Bakery to design and bake my birthday cake. After I answered questions about myself, the team created this unbelievable piece of art. The dogs on top of the cake look so much like our guys that we could easily tell which was which! Even in my highest expectations I did not imagine such a perfect cake/art piece. When we cut into it I was astonished at how moist and delicious the red velvet cake was - best I have ever had. The lemon, buttercream icing was light and delicious. The only negative thing I would say is that the cake became the center of attention at the party so I felt upstaged - I mean everyone there took pictures and selfies with the cake and didn't even ask me to join. :-) Looking for a great tasting cake that will be a subject of conversation and amazement from your guests - gotta go to Blue Note Bakery!

Absolutely LOVE the cake and all of the great flavor combos to choose from. Their honey rum fondant is one of the only fondants that I can can eat right! Angi is really fun to work with to design your fantasy cake!

I had a major televised event yesterday for work, and I had to get a cake for 150 people. I ended up spending almost 2 hours with their team and together we came up with the perfect patriotic cake. My event was yesterday and there were probably 50 people taking pics of the cake and cake bars, and I was told a million times how delicious and beautiful it was. I cannot recommend these ladies enough. YOU NEED THEIR CAKE!

Angie is wonderful!!!! She and her team took an idea and made it happen. They made my wedding cake it was beautiful and cake was wonderful! We also ordered several different small cakes to me this is the best because you can taste all the flavors. We have not ordered one we did not love. Great people great place! Please give them a try you will love them!

What a wonderful experience! They came up with an amazing idea for my boyfriend's 30th birthday cake in about 2 minutes. It was so special and he absolutely loved it. It tasted amazing as well!!

I came into the bakery at the last minute needing a cake for an event. Everyone was so nice, and they had no problem making the cake I was dreaming in my head......2 days from start to finish. The cake was beautiful and beyond delicious!

Thank you Blue Note Bakery.......I will be back!

My husband and I have been going to Blue Note for ...

My husband and I have been going to Blue Note for the past 4 years to get cupcakes for our son's birthday. They have never disappointed us. I am always so impressed with the care and attention they put into orders, our little boy was invited to help design his "Dr. Strange" cupcakes with staff, who took his ideas very seriously. They, as always, were delicious and very appreciated. They have always been incredible to work with, and I recommend them without reservation. ESPECIALLY if you have a lover of sci-fi and superheroes you need to please, they are very creative with those orders.

My experience with Blue Note Bakery was fabulous in all aspects. They contacted me immediately once I expressed interest, requested photos to make sure the cake was designed to perfection, and even waited on me when I was late to pick up the cake. And the cake was scrumptious, as were the chocolate bourbon bites. I hope I have an opportunity to use them again!

I ordered a special cake for my girlfriend's birthday. I wanted a 2D elephant with a flower on one of its ears. Blue Note Bakery did an amazing job. The cake was easy to transport to the restaurant. It also tasted amazing.
I may also add that they had this cake ready on a short notice (less than a week).
The reason I give 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the price. There are no hidden fees or costs, it is all agreed upon beforehand. But still, it cost me around $90 for a 12 person chocolate cake. If it is your big day, or some other really special occasion, please do not hesitate to spend the extra buck. It's going to be worth it. As for me, I need to find cheaper ways to surprise my gf! ;)

We ordered a tiered cake for our gender reveal party. The design was exactly what we had discussed and looked fantastic. The cake tasted great as well. My only complaint is that we picked it up the day before our party so it sat overnight in a spare bedroom. When we brought it out the day of, the fondant on the bottom layer had begun to slide and we had a huge bulge in the bottom of the cake. We were able to smush it back up and it was barely noticeable. Otherwise, a great experience.

I have ordered the sculpted Owl Cake. And it was just exactly the way I wanted it.
It tasted sOooo good and I was stunned by all the details, I did immerse into exploring those cracks on the bark of the stump :)
Magically artistic work!!!

With only one week's notice, Angi created five wonderful cakes for our wedding. They tasted wonderful and the designs were gorgeous. Our guests were lined up for slices, and there was hardly anything left for my new husband and me. The chocolate chipotle/salted caramel was a particular favorite. I will certainly be going to Blue Note again and I highly recommend them.

I loved working with Blue Note Bakery! They made my wedding cake dream come true. I wanted a basic cake with a henna-inspired piping design. Other bakeries were quoting me $17 per slice! Blue Note was able to compromise and give me the cake design I really wanted, while still staying in my budget. I was really particular about the quality of work (as the main component was the detailed piping) and when we went for the tasting (which is absolutely amazing break from the wedding planning) they had a sample of the specific gold color we requested and had done some piping on a cookie so we could see. They were so professional and always responded quickly to our emails. During the big day, I never saw or heard them, but the cake was there on time. Everyone at the wedding was amazed at their honeyrum fondant, so delicious!!! Will definitely use them again!

I really love this bakery. They have designed excellent cupcakes for my son's 1st and 2nd birthday parties, based on our not-very-helpful suggestions. What they designed both times exceeded all expectations. Both occasions were marked by family and friends commenting not only on the cute whimsy and lovely execution of the cupcakes, but also on the tender, dense crumb of the cake, soft home-made buttercream, and overall flavor of the cakes. I will ask them to design for all of my cake needs, we have found them to be super-professional and eager to help. All for a very reasonable price.

I haven't seen the finished product yet, but can certainly say that our design and tasting experience with Blue Note has been top notch! It was a delicious, extensive, fun tasting of all the flavors, and they have really wonderful design ideas and passion!

BNB made our wedding cake and anniversary cake (a year later) and both tasted fantastic. We were able to have unique "Texas" flavors that our guest LOVED!! We will keep using them for every event possible.

THE CAKE WAS PERFECT - really just as we requested - the "creatives" are magic! The cake and frosting was delicious, too. I am planning my next cake order already! We also had the most wonderful s'mores - one bite is all you need.

When looking for a bakery to design and deliver my son's groom's cake, I was thrilled to find Blue Note Bakery. We needed a cake to represent my son's love of running marathons. Angela listened to my ideas and ran with the perfect design to highlight his marathon medals. She made molds from the original medals and transformed her delicious fondant into exact replicas. Her artistry was amazing. I also commend Blue Note for their on time delivery of the cake, some 45 miles away from the bakery.

Blue Note did all of our wedding desserts gluten free and they were amazing! They did a fabulous job with our cake which was beautiful and really really good as well as assorted small bites which were a hit. I will definitely use them again!

Back in February i found a 3D Ninja Turtle cake that i wanted to have done for my son who was turning 7, I looked online for many places and every one needed a 4-6 weeks notice and my son's birthday party was in 2 weeks well i called Blue Note Bakery and they were able to make the cake, they were very friendly and the cake was awesome!!! I recommend their services to any and every one!!!

Blue Note bakery did an AMAZING job creating the cakes of made of pinterest dreams! They made the cakes for my mom's wedding in Oct and it was a work of art. The groom's cake was a catfish! The flavors were amazing too, they were soooo good.

Had a custom cake made for my Dad's 70th Birthday. He was beside himself when he saw it. Really made his day. The topper was an otter dressed to look exactly like him in overalls, a tie-dye shirt and train engineer hat. The rocks on the cake and in the otter's hand really brought it all together as he is a retired 8th grade Earth Science teacher with a degree in geology. It was definitely HIS cake. Thank you for making him feel special!

i had a bad experience with the business communication and delivery of the design and final product. the owner Angie was condescending. They scheduled to make my son's 13th bd cake and my daughter's 18th bd cake, then i did't hear form them. i was concerned as my son's party date was coming closer, i stopped by, only to find out that they didn't even remember my order. Sean stated "the computer crashed" and they "lost all contact information". they were not apologetic, refused to make the cake in a short time frame and referred me to a few other businesses all of whom were too busy to take the order,. i ordered one form a nearby grocery store and was hopeful my daughters cake will make up for the mishap. My daughter's cake was childish, and poorly designed and constructed. Again the business was not apologetic, and Sean told me " that was angles take on the design, that is not what i designed"!!. i complained to Better Business Bureau. The business did't post a reply in a very long time. The BBB sent me an apology that the business didn't reply. A few days later they did reply. In their reply, the business capitalized on their good reviews from most people to compromise the legitimacy of my complaints. in my case i was shocked to receive such poorly constructed product. it was not a matter of "pleasing everybody". the business owner happened to come out to use the phone and i took the opportunity to ask her a few questions to which the answers showed dishonesty and misinformation of Sean who was at the front line of talking to customers. if he is not informed about the range of materials, he should not make up information to mislead me that their product is made from scratch and go to a lengthy conversation about how they make it. the owner was arrogant and did not agree to call me back several times before i insisted. it was a crunch time as the party was a few days later, she disregarded my concerns and wanted me to use somebody else!, no one would have accepted to take an order in such a small time frame. she has Sean deal with customers from A-Z then when he misrepresents the design to his team and they make a different product than he discussed with the customers, they blame it on the customer. i have seen several reviews from others who experienced similar situations to mine. i am not the only " unhappy customer". i have copies of the design we discussed drawn sloppily by Sean who told me not to worry about the sketch as he " got my idea" and stated he would make sure it will be delivered and done according to what we agreed on. apparently he didn't. if you see the sketch, even as sloppy as it is, and see the cake you can tell it was not done as sketched. they asked for over a $1000.00 for the cake, that included a "design fee" of $350.00. i had a poorly designed and constructed product. one layer of the cake was dry and tasteless, one was good but not excellent and one was average.
you can go to BBB website and see all the communication that took place.

I had never custom ordered a cake before so I was really nervous and didn't know what to expect. Not only was the cake completely reasonably priced and affordable but it came out better than I ever expected. The team was so kind and answered all my questions. When I went to pick up the cake they were almost just as excited as I was to give me the cake as I was to see it. I was FLOORED. Angie was one of the bakers and she is an artist. All I did was send her 3 pictures of what I wanted the cake's theme to be and it the result was magnificent I almost didn't want to eat it because it was so detailed and so fun to look at. I was very happy with my Harley Quinn Suicide Squad inspired creation. (Picture posted above)

All this to say. I will def be coming back to them for any future custom order cakes and recommending them to my friends.

My daughter and I have had a wonderful experience so far with Blue Note Bakery. The cake tasting was amazing, and we had so much to choose from, which could have been very confusing. However, we were asked all the right questions that enabled the suggestions of perfect combinations for my daughter's upcoming wedding in early 2017. We are both excited about the combinations that were chosen for the cupcake tower as well as the cake topper. The customer service has been excellent from day one!
