Reviews mention

  • Gorgeous, giftable packaging aesthetic
  • Clear, easy-to-follow instructions
  • Moist, homemade-tasting cakes
  • Distinctive, sophisticated flavor combinations
  • Thin, dense cake layers
  • Overly sweet frosting components
  • Ambiguous fresh-fruit measurements
  • Requires many additional ingredients

The Caker earns largely positive reviews for elevated cake mixes that taste homemade and look gift-worthy, with standout flavors like Spiced Carrot, Flourless Dark Chocolate Gold Leaf, and Coconut Raspberry Lime. Reviews also flag weaknesses: thin, dense bakes that don’t rise much, overly sweet elements (especially caramel/frosting), unclear add‑in measurements (e.g., pears), and the need for many additional ingredients—leaving some questioning value despite the striking packaging and easy, clear instructions.

  • I ordered a limited edition coconut raspberry cake kit as a gift last year - the packaging was gorgeous and the fully baked cake was DELISH. I would 100% order again as a gift or for myself.

  • I am generally a novice/ rookie baker and tried the Coconut Raspberry Lime Leaf Cake Kit (during a collab sale) and LOVED it! The directions were easy to follow, even though I have never used a boxed cake mix before. The flavor combination was everything I hoped for and I was lucky enough to have the required ingredients and correct pan already in possession. I did purchase the kit on my own dime after waiting for the sale- I agree that the product is a bit pricey but I also understand that sourcing and processing high quality ingredients may be a necessary cost. I would definitely repurchase and try out other flavors.

  • I was given a box to try out by the company and I absolutely loved the finished product. A high end boxed cake mix is more fun than you think, and the cake was soooo delicious.
