We compared 19 cake shops in Denver on Google Maps · 4 listed · How we rank

Birthday cakes, baby shower cakes, a wedding tier: most of the cake shops in Denver on this page have made them for someone, and they hold more than 2,400 Google reviews between them. Ratings run from 4.1 to 5.0, and the shops are not interchangeable: one is entirely plant-based, one is a cookie shop that makes cookie cakes, and one is a bakery-cafe where cakes sit alongside breakfast.

Short answer: The Cake Bar is a plant-based Denver bakery rated 4.9 across more than 780 Google reviews, with birthday, wedding and custom cakes. A Cake Occasion in Thornton is rated 4.7 from more than 600 reviews and asks for 7 days' notice on custom orders, according to its site. For price, one reviewer paid $63 for a 6-inch two-tier custom heart cake at A Cake Occasion.

The Flour Shop Colorado

5.0236 Google reviews

The Flour Shop Colorado is a cookie shop on Curtis Street in Denver. Its site describes craft cookies, cookie delivery, gluten-free options and cookie cakes across the Denver metro. This is a cookie shop rather than a traditional cake shop, so expect cookies and cookie cakes, not tiered or layer cakes.

  • One reviewer bought gluten-free oatmeal chocolate chip cookies and has since used the shop for parties and events
  • A visitor ordered a cookie cake online from out of state and said it looked as expected
  • Open Tuesday to Saturday

Worth knowing

  • Cookies and cookie cakes only, not layer or tiered cakes
  • Fewer reviews than the other shops here

Our take: The pick if you want a cookie cake or a box of cookies for a party. For a layered birthday or wedding cake, look to the others.

How the scores work

Every number on this page comes from public Google data on the date shown. Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated the business, compared with other cake shops in Denver. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.9 from hundreds of people counts for more than a 5.0 from a few. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.
