Let me start off by saying: I used to love this bakery. I have used them for numerous occasions in the past... up until this last order. It was horrible. My pregnant daughter was in the hospital at Memorial North with Covid and was having a multitude of complications. Her morale was very low, she was very sickly and her birthday was coming up, so I decided to order 2 dozen cupcakes from her favorite bakery. (One dozen to share with her and the nursing staff at Memorial North and one dozen for our family to celebrate her special day.) I wanted each box to have 3 each of the 4 flavors and since 3 (cupcakes)x 4 (flavors) =12 I thought it wouldnt an issue. Now, the staff at Little London was kind enough to place my order despite the fact that they were booked until August 30 and for that, I was thankful. Since I had requested 4 different cake flavors for the cupcakes, I had asked that they place a different colored hibiscus flower on the top of each cupcake to determine which flavor correlated with which flower color. I happily paid additional fees for filling the cupcakes and putting the hibiscus flower on top because it wasnt considered a simple design. Upon receiving the cupcakes I was gravely disappointed. First of all: There wasnt three of each flavor in a box. Secondly: They didnt leave a guide as to which cupcake flower color correlated with which flavor. That wasnt convenient because the cake flavors all looked similar (minus the chocolate) and after having numerous people eat some, we determined that the flower color on top didnt correlate with the cupcake flavor anyway. On top of that, not all the cupcakes were even filled and the ones that were had a very miniscule amount of filling in them. That was a complete rip off and a huge disappointment. The Hibiscus flowers were a joke. They were barely larger than a nickel. When I have ordered them in the past, the designer has put on large, beautiful looking Hibiscus flowers that encompass the entire tops of the cupcakes that look like literal Hibiscus flowers. These were embarrassingly small and barely looked like a Hibiscus flower. The only recognizable Hibiscus feature was the yellow middle. One person even complained that the cake was dry. I actually felt a little embarrassed by the appearance and inconsistency of these cupcakes.Now you may may ask: Why did you pay for them since they were less then acceptable... and I have two reasons. 1. My daughter loved this bakery. I was willing to look past the pathetic flower design because I ordered her favorite flavors and frankly I wanted to raise her spirits. And 2. It was her birthday and everyone deserves a little treat for their special day... especially since she is nearing 2 weeks in the hospital. Unfortunately my mistake was that I didnt have a Plan B. If I had had one, I would have informed the staff that these were less then acceptable and I would have walked away. However, I didnt have a Plan B and purchased them anyway only to discover later what an epic disappointment these cupcakes really are. I paid almost $90.00 for 12 semi filled and 12 unfilled that should have been filled, mediocre, sadly designed, dry cupcakes. Never would I have thought this bakery could produce such a disappointing product but its enough that I definitely wont be going back. Its unfortunate that theres new management because the old owner Jane was amazing and her products were beautiful and well worth the money.

Little London is AMAZING. I ordered custom cupcakes with safari animals for our twins 2nd birthday. They exceeded my expectations and the cupcakes were adorable & delicious! Definitely the best cake shop Ive ever been to.

I ordered a cake from Little London to a baby shower. We wanted a desert, cactus theme cake that was greens, pinks, and tans. Little London Cake Shop was very communicative with me. I sent them pictures of the style I was looking for and they exceeded my expectations. Everyone enjoyed the cake at the baby shower and I kept referring the name of the Bakery to the guests, as they were wanting to know where they could go for well designed and delicious cakes. I highly recommend! I purchased a cake to feed to 30 people and it was very affordable. I will go to them for my future sweet needs.

I have ordered 3 cakes from them in the past 4 months, and they have all been amazing. Not only have they been able to surpass my expectations on decorating, but they taste amazing as well. Their pricing is extremely reasonable, and they are friendly and helpful too. I would recommend Little London Cake Shoppe to everyone who wants a beautiful and delicious cake.

Their cakes not only look good, but are delicious. My husband and I ordered a cake for my daughter’s birthday. We got the closing time information confused with another site and they closed before we could pick up the cake. They got in contact with us so we could get our cake and still have a “happy” birthday.

Do not order from here! The previous owner heather no longer owns the business. The new owner has changed everything completely and with that the quality has gone down as well. The cakes no longer look the way they used to. As other reviews have said the cake is dry and decorations embarrassing. Disappointing that such an old business is now on its way down the hill. Everytime I have gone in the product has been inconsistent. Very disappointing. If you used to love little London you may be sadly dissatisfied now.

I had a brunch wedding where I thought a waffle cake would be unique. I wrote several cake shops in town to have a lot of rejections Waffles will not taste good, and I will not do it, one vendor wrote. At Little London Cake Shoppe, Heather was super creative in finding a mold to make cake batter actually look like waffles, and I could not have been more delighted. So thankful she was able to adjust and create something new without making me feel dumb for wanting something out of the ordinary.

The place was amazing, a true custom cake is hard to find in this city so thanks for that. The pricing was just right and the time frame was quick. Definitely going to be back for every occasion. The staff was so good. I would give them 10 stars if I could. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

Ive used Little London for 10 years, they made our wedding cake and it was amazing! I ordered my 10th wedding anniversary cake and was beyond disappointed. I ordered a coconut cream filled cake with whipped icing and red writing. When I picked up the cake the girl at the front was outside smoking and seemed very annoyed that I interrupted her cigarette break. She took my name and payment, got the cake and put it on the counter and walked away. After opening it up at home I noticed the writing was brick red and looked as if a 5 year old wrote it. I called and was put on hold for a while then disconnected. We cut into the cake and it was vanilla with no hint of coconut, a tiny bit of cream and whipped icing over scraped off buttercream icing, the cake was dry almost like it wasnt fresh.I clled again the next day, 2 times with the same outcome. Maybe the manager or owner will read my review. Its super disappointing that things like this happen at a place youve loved for so long.

Ordered a red velvet cake with strawberry filling... for a surprise birthday party. The person taking the call suggested strawberry icing instead of “filling”. Made sense to me...We went with strawberry icing... on the inside. But after cutting into the cake... we ended up with vanilla.Everyone loved the cake. But I was annoyed because the birthday girl really loves strawberry. I probably would not buy from them again, and would prefer to try my luck somewhere else.

We have gone to this cake shop for years and for every cake we need and now under new management we’ve been treated like we’re just another random customer rather a loyal customer. We got way overcharged for a cake that had zero fun to it. It was the most basic cake I’ve ever got and could’ve just gotten a cake at Walmart or Bundt cake with the amount of effort put into this cake for $85 dollars out the door. We’ll be finding another cake shop.

Loving my cake / Very professional / Highly recommendIt was for just me and my husband(which means mine he hates cherry) so we ordered smallest one(6 inch)It costs us only $35 I was surprised. And it tastes really good, bread is moist, Oreo-y, even cherry filling doesnt taste like store bought. They added raspberry ganache layer under the filling and covered outer area with white chocolate, which makes it fancier. Absolutely missed this black forest cake, my husband loves the bread and cream part lolHe picked up the cake and he loved the placeDuring whole this Covid, 3 people working and they only allowed 1 customer at the time. They kept it really professional he said

This is the first time we bought a custom cake from anyone before, and from the young lady on the phone who spoke with my partner helped walk them through ordering a cake, to the woman who helped us out at the counter. And the cake. The cake is absolutely adorable, the kids love it to bits, and the cake is well decorated, we felt almost pain physically cutting into this beautiful cute cake. Thank you, you have made a birthday that is otherwise very unspecial and filled with trauma memories, into the best day ever.

They baked our wedding cake for us and it was DELICIOUS and so well priced. They were pretty easy to work with as well. I had surprised my husband with the sheet cake having his favorite football team mascot (Vikings) and so I had changed it after we signed our contract. They made it so easy and it turned out great! He was so surprised and excited about it. Overall, would choose them again in a heartbeat :)

I ordered my wedding cake here and had to have the design fixed the day we picked up, but it was delivered to my house later when it was fixed. I certainly think this place is the best tasting cake Ive had! The design is why I gave it a 4. The taste is a 5! They accommodated everything I asked for as far as flavors.

I’ll be getting our birthday cakes here for as long as we live in the Springs.I ordered my daughters cake and the staff went above and beyond to make it perfect. They had initially forgot to put flowers on her cake, and after speaking to Heather, she had an employee drive 30 minutes away to my house to ensure my daughters cake had everything we asked for. Not sure what other cake shop would do that. I just recently bought another cake for my sons birthday and it was everything he wanted!

This place is AMAZING!!! We had them do a cake for our daughters 1st birthday. They completely exceeded our expectations with the design, and then we tasted it - and oh my goodness! We got so many compliments on both the design and taste of the cake! We will be using them for every event we can (and even wish we would have had them do our wedding cake)!

I asked the baker to create a relief map of the state of Colorado for my daughters wedding. It was beautifully executed- fun and accurate- and it tasted delicious. We had many out of state guests who hovered over it to get an idea of where various towns were in Colorado. The staff was extremely helpful in the planning and pick up of the cake. Thank you!

I have to say I was a little disappointed. I was very clear that my sons birthday was on a Sunday. I asked for a Saturday pickup as late in the day as possible. In my mind I think I assumed that the cake would then have been made and decorated on Saturday. I called Friday morning to discuss the details, make sure that I ordered the cake properly and the finishing touches etc were going to be what I described. During that call on Friday morning the designer told me the cake was pretty much already done. But yes, she could change a detail or two to make sure I loved the design. At that moment I realized the cake could not be very fresh for the party on Sunday.End result...the cake over all looked very pleasing to the eye. Yes, they are the best at decorating and presentation. By Sunday of course, I now had a three day old cake on the table. Dry and the entire cake cracked during cutting. ( I had it sit out at room temp for a couple hours as informed)I strongly believe in supporting local business. However, I paid a lot of money for a stale, hard cake. :(

I heard of this shoppe on nextdoor because they moved into our neighborhood. We stopped in a week ago and tried the cupcakes. They are delicious. So I ordered my birthday cake for a week later with the same filling as the cupcake I liked so much. The cake was less than impressive in flavor and design. It was drier than the cupcake, far less flavor, and the design was ok (I guess). The numbers on the cake were just rolled fondette (or whatever its called), the photo I saw showed more elaborate numbers and they charge $5 per number so I honestly expected more. Thank goodness the cake was not the star of the party because no one was impressed with the cake. But the party was still terrific. My advice (if you are in the fence) just bake one yourself and do a you tube tutorial on a simple cake design; or but from a store if you dont want to bake. But their cupcakes are very good, stop in and get yourself one of those.
