What people praise

What the scorecards measure

Every number on this page comes from public Google data on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the shop’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated it, set against other Atlanta cake bakers. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.7 from hundreds of customers carries different weight than a 5.0 from fewer. Recency reflects how recently people are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

What cake costs in Atlanta (2026)

We haven’t built a price table because these shops don’t publish prices on Google, and custom cakes are usually quoted per order. One Sweet Red Peach customer reported paying $7 for a rum cake slice and $7.75 for a carrot cake deluxe. For custom cakes, size, servings, design detail, flavors and delivery all move the quote, so ask for it in writing.

Decatur, Kirkwood and the Westside

These shops are spread from Decatur’s Candler Road to Kirkwood and Moreland Avenue on the east side, White Street on the Westside BeltLine and Irwin Street near the Old Fourth Ward. Searching for cake shops near me? Each listing shows a phone number and directions; ask about notice for custom cakes.

What to ask before you order a cake

  • How much notice do you need for a custom cake, and is there a rush fee?
  • What flavors and fillings are available, and can I taste a sample?
  • Is the quote in writing with servings, design and delivery included?
  • Do you handle allergies, and which ingredients are in the frosting?
  • How should I transport or store the cake, and do you deliver?
