Sophisticakes

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!

We ordered a pound cake single layer with buttercream frosting for an office event. Fantastic taste and beautifully decorated the staff made everything so easy and the communication was great. Thank you, sophisticates for being awesome.

Our daughter’s sweet 16th birthday cake was so pretty and was moist, rich , and delicious! She loved it! Definitely will be back in the future!!

I love this bakery!!! The butter cream frosting gives me such a nostalgic feeling, taste just like the kind my grandma use to make in the kitchen with her wooden spoon. Their cakes and cupcakes are always so fresh and the presentation is phenomenal. I ordered through DoorDash today. I got 2 vanilla pound cupcakes with buttercream frosting, 1 carrot cake cupcake 1 chocolate chip pound cupcake with butter cream frosting and a slice of red velvet with cream Cheese frosting. Everything was packaged nicely. If you're looking for homemade delicious desserts, don't pass up the opportunity to purchase from here 😊 You will not be disappointed.

The place is very nice and clean, with good parking and awesome service. However, and I mean a HUGE, however, the product is awful! I tried the worst cupcakes I've ever had, and they were also the most expensive—$4.50 each! I've tried many cupcakes in my life, so I can say this with confidence. The icing was overly sweet and hard, and the cupcakes themselves were incredibly dry. They were so dry that eating them would be better with a glass of milk to soak them in. This experience will definitely be my first and last visit. I'm disappointed because I love to support local businesses, and I know everyone tries their best. Please consider changing your recipes!
