The Bakery at Culinard Reviews

OMG! If you can't find a flavor you like your taste buds are dead. I ruined my diet for my friend's birthday but it was worth it!

I have been here 3 times the 1st time I ordered vegan cup cakes which they stated were in the back and it was my birthday so my family and I sat inside to enjoy our cupcakes until we bit into a frozen cupcake which no one made me aware of.Each time was not welcoming or quite friendly. I ordered my anniversary cake from here which was delicious and I had to walk quite a ways to carry it while on a crutch so I asked for a bag and she went to reach for the plastic bag and I then asked for the paper bag because I knew it could fit and wouldn t fall over but she insisted that it would fall over and she just wouldn t give me a bag for this 6in $30 cake I just bought, so once I realized she just didnt want to give be a paper bag I just said I will make it work but jeeze SMH My family and I will not be returning. You guys need a personality/ customer service makeover!!!

I ordered my daughter's 21st birthday cake from Dreamcakes and it was remarkable!!!! I had sent them a picture of what I wanted it to look like and they nailed it. It was just what I wanted and was so delicious! This was the second year I used Dreamcakes and I'll be calling them again next year.

Cup cakes are delicious. Great place to get desert after you eat at Saws.

I give Dreamcakes to my clients and business associates. The cakes come in a wide variety, and they are delicious and beautiful. They are always remembered.

Cake is amazing Spent $200 on a two layer cake and they give you some ghetto supposedly box. You would think you would get a professional nice looking box just in case you take it to a restaurant like Perry s, however looks like you re going to the ghetto with the cake. I wish I could add a picture on here....The box has duct tape on all four corners. 2 hours later....the cake is in pieces. We did not find a box for this cake... it got rained on. I m going to Facebook this. I am LIVID. Mind you this is all before we even made it to the restaurant. This is INSANE

The best cupcakes in Birmingham! Love wedding cake and over the moon!

I was roaming around town looking for something to satisfy this sweet tooth that I can't seem to satiate nowadays and that's when it hit me. I hadn't written a review for Dreamcakes Bakery yet! How had I not written a review for Dreamcakes yet?! So I made a quick turnaround and headed towards the bakery.

Dreamcakes is nestled a sort of historical district of Homewood, surrounded by small shops of all different times and a residential district. If you take the time to explore the area you could catch yourself spending an entire day exploring all that this area has to offer. Dreamcakes is stationed right in the middle of all this lovely, local splendor. The shop is on the small side but it boasts a large cooler filled with all types of tasty treats from cupcakes to whoopee pies. I've been several times and the bakers are always lovely. I usually know exactly what they have in their case but I like to take my time to look at all the goodies and see which one tempts me the most. Today (Wednesday) I happened to come in during a BOGO special they were having on cupcakes. Lucky me right? After much contemplation, I settled on a strawberry, coconut, wedding cake and an over the moon cupcake. I was hesitant to purchase the Over the Moon cupcake because of the white chocolate curls on top but the baker was nice enough to scrape them all off for me. I HATE chocolate so this was such a big deal for me. I paid for my fare and exited the bakery triumphant! So pride of myself and my loot! When I finally arrived home where I could really enjoy my cupcakes, I ripped the box open and proceed to feast. I began with the wedding cake cupcake followed with half of the strawberry. I LOVEEE wedding cake flavored things because they always have a slight taste of almond with a super moist cake and this one was no different. So good, so moist and not too sweet. I also liked the strawberry. My only critique would be to use some real strawberries in the mix or frosting. The local strawberries are in season and absolutely lovely so why not use them?

This place is definitely a need to try in Birmingham. It's hands down the best cupcake bakery I've found to date and the prices are some of the best you'll find in Birmingham.

TERRIBLE customer service. I ordered a birthday cake and asked to get a call when it was ready. Never got my call. The next day I went to get the cake and they talked to me as if I were crazy! At the end I had to pay full price for a cake that was late on THEIR behalf because they never called.

The cake was still fresh of course because it had only been one extra day but it wasn't even that good. I'll NEVER go here again and will tell my friends the same!

This was my 1st time visiting this place..and let's just say "I'm not impressed!" I paid $24 for a half dz cupcakes and they tasted like day old cake. They were dry, the icing on the lemon and wedding cake tasted kind of Play doh-ish (don't act like you didn't try as a child) and the cute box that they were in was not stable! My cupcakes toppled over as I was walking to my car. Let's just say for that amount of money I could have gone back to Pastry A.R.T.S. or Publix.
I am a cake/cupcake lover..and this place did not make me want to try again.

Dreamcakes is without a doubt the best place to get a cupcake or much less a cake in town. I have ordered over 10 cakes from them and have never been disappointed, with some having some very extreme detail drawn on them. Its hard to believe that people would give them a bad review being that owners seem very hands on and care about the customers being satisfied! They offer an array of assortments and will attempt to make your cake as personalized as possible. You will gain about 100 pounds just walking in the place because you will want to eat everything in sight! Its so yummy!
By far they are the best!

Today was not my first visit in Dreamcakes but the first time I was really more than disappointed. I was looking for the small cupcakes to take to 2 important clients for an afternoon pick me up. When I entered the store I was immediately greeted but couldn't tell by whom....I mean I only had one foot in the door. It was about 1 and I thought surely they would still have plenty. Well, there were only 10 in the case but many pkgs of 5 per. I had left my glasses in the car and asked the girl what flavors the packages were. She huffed at me and came around the counter and rattled out the flavors. So I asked her if I picked some of the packages and those in the case could she put them in a box for me. The answer was a quick NO. So I bought $40 worth of cake...and was given a plastic grocery bag in order to take to my clients. Then I noticed that there were paper bags with handles behind the counter and asked for 2 of those. I guess if I had explained my purpose maybe she would have offered to box the cakes. But, it seemed like just too much trouble for her. Anyone can make a cupcake, but good service cannot be bought. Will be looking for other goodies for my clients. P.S. The punch card doesn't work on the smaller cakes no matter what you spend. That was the last dagger. I could purchase one reg cupcake and get a punch and 60 of the small ones and again NO!

Excellent customer service and even better tasting cupcakes. They went out of their way to make me some custom cupcakes in just a few hours for my fiance's birthday. Will definitely be a return customer.
