Cake Bloom
120 10th St NW, Charlottesville, VA
Crema's Take
“This Charlottesville gem excels as much as a gathering spot as it does a cake destination, with genuinely warm staff who make customers feel celebrated whether you're stopping by for a specialty drink or orchestrating something special like a Valentine's Day surprise. Their creative seasonal offerings like the mango creamsicle showcase a playful approach to beverages, while their Wednesday workshops and cute calendar events suggest an owner-operated space that's invested in building real community beyond just transactions. It's the kind of place where you can linger over coffee and pastries, join in on a decorating class with friends, or trust them completely with a custom cake for your most important moments.”

The service at cake bloom was great! And the cake was definitely tasty. However, for $105 for an 8” cake that is supposed to serve 12-20 people, it wasn’t worth it. Pretty disappointing to see when picking up the cake. I wouldn’t buy a party cake here (equally delicious options at other bakeries for larger sizes and less cost), but I like their other creative ways to enjoy cake.
I had so much fun at their Wednesday workshop in their new space. I signed up for one of their cute calendar offerings, and my friend and I had a blast with their sprinkle decorations. One of the owners introduced themselves personally and it means a lot when you get to meet a female business owner! The experience was fun and the cake cakes were delicious
I ordered a cake for my birthday and it was the most delicious cake I have ever had. I am not exaggerating. It was insanely good. It was also beautiful. The service was perfect. Thank you so much Cake Bloom.
Tasted great! Can't comment on price since I don't live here. Portion size seemed standard. Tried the mango creamsicle and the chocolate. Liked the mango more, which was like the ice cream but in a cake version, balanced and exactly the flavour I was looking for. Chocolate was good as well, would personally prefer even more chocolatety denseness for the cream and more lightness for the cake, but that's personal preference
The staff was awesome and friendly and helped me with arranging everything for Valentine's day. Communication was easy and very friendly! Cake Bloom made Valentine's day for a couple that is far apart a very special occassion! I've gotten the 8 piece cake sampler and every single slice was incredibly delicious! You can tell they use quality produce to make their cakes! My girlfriend was absolutely delighted with the cakes! Highly recommended on all fronts! Thank you so much guys and gals!
