This is a late/very late post, but I still have the pictures so here we are. I fell in love with Sophisticakes about seven years ago. The first few cakes I had were absolutely delicious! They were moist and tasty and fresh. Whenever I'm out in Drexel Hill, which I am never in Drexel Hill, lol, I always make a point to go out of my way to get a cake from here. I sent my husband on a special mission, approximately 35 miles from where we live, to pick up a cake from this bakery to celebrate my birthday. He had to have passed approximately 50 other bakeries, including all of the top notch bakeries in Center City Philadelphia to reach this place. Later that afternoon, my family and I cut into the cake and proceeded to eat it, but it was extremely dry. Even the buttercream frosting was super hard even though it had been at room temperature for a couple of hours. I was very disappointed because I really really loved this place over the years. Unfortunately, we never called the bakery because we were flying out of town the very next day and just didn't have the energy or the time to make the call. I may try them again this year for my birthday, but I am very skeptical. I wish I could taste test it on the premises, because I really don't wanna waste my time and money again.

They did an excellent job creating a custom baby shower sheet cake for us. We loved the design they suggested to fit our nature- themed event. The buttercream icing was delicous and the yellow cake was moist and flavorful. We had enough to serve 55 guests with leftover slices for everyone to take one home. The price was reasonable and they were prompt in returning my check-in phone calls. We were delighted to find such a good bakery just a minute away from the Drexelbrook Center where our event was held.

I had two cakes from this bakery one for Friday, a one layer pound cake absolutely delicious and I usually don’t like pound cake. The second cake a two-layer, yellow chocolate chip cake was just as good. Beautiful work.

You have to like pound cake to like these cakes. Not everyone does. When the cakes are fresh, they are delicious. The baptism cake I picked up right when they opened was fresh and tasty by the time we ate it that afternoon. The birthday cake I picked up at 3pm? Dry and crumbly. Their cupcakes are great when picked up first thing but dry if you grab a few after work. There must be something up with the air pressure or storage system in their bakery. But, staff is friendly and the decorations are beautifully done. We will come back as long as we pick the cake up first thing in the morning!
