the velvet cake co.

this little boutique cake shop is a little slice of decadence. it is the place to go when your sweet tooth needs devotion!

walking in the door you are welcomed with a trendy, fun colourful shop with decadentcakesand treats waiting to be photographed.

they have an array of delectable cakes, cupcakes and cookies decorated with a touch of elegance...and glitter just for fun.

their signature cake is a 6 layered rainbow cake with cream cheese frosting spread layer upon layer. the cheesecake topped with caramel popcorn adds a new meaning to the word 'yummy'.

other thancakesand cupcakes, they also have quiches and muffins on offer and has the same wow factor as the cakes. the quiche is tasty and very creamy.

their slogan says "celebrate everyday"...now i can have my cake and eat it too!

i think i've finally visited this place enough to write a proper review on it! the velvet cake co... absolute cake heaven and a very dangerous place if you have a bit of a sweet tooth. get locked up in here overnight and they'll be rolling you out in the morning!

having heard so much about their amazingcakesand cupcakes, i decided to order a caramel cheesecake for a special occasion - a four course dinner that i was doing for christmas eve. yes, i know it's cheating, but who can beat a deliciously fresh, homemade cheesecake with generous frosting, decorated with cherries and glitter? and the best part was that it tasted just as good as it looked! i ordered the cake online relatively hassle free and it was ready for collection at the time i specified.

my second velvet cake co experience was a cupcake feast, featuring the likes of their famous red velvet cupcake, vanilla, chocolate and carrot cake cupcakes. to be honest, i was slightly underwhelmed by the red velvet one - expected so much from it, but it turned out to be a bit dry. however, the chocolate, vanilla and carrot cake cupcakes definitely made up for it! i loved the generous icing (one can never have too much icing!) and the lovely moist cake, literally fresh from the oven. the vanilla was filled with caramel, which was a huge treat for my dad who absolutely loves caramel! plus they were beautifully presented in the cutest little paper cups - perfect to stick a fork in and enjoy it like a mini cake.

moving on the the savory side of things, a special mention must go to their quiches, which, although quite rich, are very tasty! obviously sweet treats aren't their only speciality. my favorite is the bacon and mushroom (you just can't go wrong with bacon). i've also tried the chicken and pepperdew, which was also good, but a bit dry for my liking.

finally, today i had my first sit down coffee and cake at their cafe. i ordered a red cappuccino, which was brought to me promptly and tasted delicious. paired with a slice of coco channel chocolate cake... my life is complete now! i think i'll be dreaming about the cake tonight.

with so many deliciously sinful options to choose from, you just can't help returning to this fantastic gem of a bakery. it's the go-to place if you need cupcakes for a party, a cake for a special occasion, or just a treat to bring home to the family. highly recommended!

absolutely amazingcakeswow, so delicious and everything you could ever want in a cake! awesome, definitely go there and the shop is so cute too.

bestcakesyou will ever have!! convenient ordering and paying online. quick and easy collections. best quality cakes! the cake is incredibly soft and thecakeslook exactly the same as the pictures they use to advertise them. i've never been disappointed by velvet cake company

seriously goodcakesand cupcakes. they are amazing and so flavorful. they put more well known cake places in cape town to shame and for half the price. if you have a sweet tooth, i highly recommend the velvet cake co

thecakeslook better than they taste.

the main shop in the cbd is a delight for the eyes. thecakesreally do look beautiful. great concept that they are now in shopping centres. i bought a whole bunch of different cupcakesfor my son's birthday instead of a cake so we could try them all. i was disappointed! sponge of the cake is dry and the toppings look better than they taste. just the milk tart cupcake was doable.

nice place for breakfast. thecakeslook amazing and i should really make a point of tasting them but the breakfast has never disappointed and the service is good.

i ordered twocakesfor my birthday at the velvet cake company. having tried it before, i knew that i was going to get some good quality cakes.

their rainbow cake with cream cheese is to die for as well as their red velvet, chocolate caramel and well... basically everything.

if i stayed any closer to their branch in cbd i'd probably buy a cheeky slice or two every single day!

love love love!

can't get enough of their cupcakes. theircakesare also good, although at times quite heavy. would love to try the new cake slices. have ordered quiches in the past for entertaining but have found them to be too rich. 
pros: very cute store
favourite: milk tart cupcakescons: very limited parking

i love this place as it makes me feel like a kid in a candy store!the decor is really cute and the pastel colors work beautifully together.the selection ofcakesare amazing and freshly baked..the carrot cupcakes which i ordered was tasty and moist whilst the service is friendly and efficient. i would definitely recommend this spot.

best cake i've had.cakesare so moist and the filling flavours are spot on. slices are huge but the cake is so light so you don't even feel like you've eaten a lot. presentation is cute and ive never seen them screw up so 👌

i can't say that i've ever been disappointed in a cake from the velvet cake company as of yet - moist, tasty, delicious. some of thecakesare a tad too sweet for my liking and i could do with a little bit less frosting, although i understand that it adds to the look of thecakesand cupcakes. i wish their cupcakes were a bit smaller as i find them difficult to finish, but it is by no means a deal breaker. i like the look of the shop - it's fun and quirky and what you'd expect of a little cake shop. they also offer some cake toppers which are a nice touch if you need something for a special occasion. the staff are generally friendly and helpful and the packaging is just adorable.
