Fleur De Lis Unforgettable Cakes

I was sad my sphere that i had made wasn’t thought out more, but the photographer was able to take a picture of what it was suppose to look like before taking the top off (It didn’t balance and would fall if we left it that way)… we ended up cutting into the small cake-​which we wanted for our one year anniversary-​because thats where our hands were lead to when the cake knife was in our hands (it was pretty hectic at that moment).The cake taste was amazing though!

Delectable baked goods are a big part of my life’s enjoyment. Recently, my wife and I were honored with a wedding cake like no other. It was prepared by Fleur de Lis Unforgettable Cakes (1219 East Glendale Avenue, Suite 26, Phoenix, AZ 85 020) and featured a creamy, strawberry-​lemon filling with a light, whipped outer frosting. The shape of the cake and the frosting design were highly elegant. Between the baked material, filling and frosting, the cake was just sweet enough to delight the palate, not overbearing. When cut, the pieces were light, yet filling. I highly recommend this bakery for your celebration cakes!

I have used Fleur De Lis several times for many different occasions. They are always consistent and I have never been disappointed. I have ordered a variety of their cakes and flavors including red velvet, pink champagne and chocolate-​The cakes are absolutely beautiful-​even the birthday cakes are works of art. Most importantly over design the cakes are very delicious. They use the finest ingredients and you can certainly taste the difference. Cake is a favorite food in my house and we have tried ALL the bakeries in Phoenix, Scottsdale and Glendale. Nothing comes even close to Fleur de lis… You won’t be disappointed.

Ok so on April 19, 2013 me and my husband were married. We ordered our wedding cake here. I’m not going to lie the cake was beautiful and it tasted great. I had quite a few compliments and questions about where I ordered the cake from. The reason I am writing this today is because a month ago I had a recent charge to my checking account and it was the deposit check for $ 50 from Fleur de Lis. This check was a deposit for cake parts that we returned. Anyway, parts were returned but yet my check was still cashed over a year and a half later! I have tried to talk to the owner/​manager Liana, who said she would check on the situation and get back with me, but I never received a call back. I tried to call back today and find out why this check was cashed when I know these parts were returned. She even ventured to say «this has happened before!» Which made me think they have done this to other customers. It’s not the $ 50 that irritates me it’s the principal of the matter. After I spoke with her today she said she would have her accountant call me back, but I have yet to receive one call back. This is just bad business and I would encourage others to go elsewhere for your wedding cakes because this bad experience is not worth dealing with no matter if the cake is good or not. I would never recommend this place to anyone for their wedding cakes after dealing with this!!! I am still very irritated with the lack of follow through on this matter and customer service.

As far as taste is concerned, 5 stars hands down. It truly is one of the best cakes I’ve ever tasted. We continue to order birthday cakes from them.
The issue I have with Fleur De Lis is this:
We ordered our wedding cake through them and were blown away by the various amounts of delicious flavors and their amazing buttercream. However, come wedding day, the cake was crooked… Bad. It was even mentioned to me by wedding guests. This should not have been an issue that I still cringe about 1.5 years later. It was only 4 tiers.

Wife purchased a cake here for my birthday a few weeks back, and it was absolutely delicious! Will definitely come back here for future cakes!

These people are wonderful! Not only did they repair a cake that I accidentally ruined but went out of there way to fix it. The cake was prepared for a special birthday party and they went beyond customer service to repair it! By the way, the cake was outstanding.

the cake was delicious. one of the only things that came out right at my wedding. Liana (owner) is very talented!

I went to Fleur De Lis last night for a tasting for my wedding cake. The experience was overall very odd. We have been to 3 tastings before this one, and this was by far the weirdest. We sat in a front room with a bunch of fake cakes. We waited 5 – 10 minutes before the owner I suppose came out to talk with us, but instead of getting right into the cake info, she got all of our personal info first. She asked me if I had pictures of any cakes that I liked, so I showed her some pictures while I explained what I liked about each one. After showing her and telling her, she asked me ‘what do you like about that one?’ Ummm… I just told you. (ex: Me: Here is a cake I like, I like that it is square and has different size proportions for the different layers… her: oh, ok what do you like about it?). She then set up a laptop computer and played a slideshow of their cakes. I’m not sure why they do this, especially when I came in knowing what I wanted. Also, the pictures were not awesome… the cakes all looked the same, there must have been 50 cakes that were white with red roses sticking out of the layers. It was some serious boring cakage. Also, some of the cakes had writing on them, but instead of looking flush to the cake and professional, it looked like it was piped on at the Fry’s bakery (read: birthday cake for a child). So then she brought out the cake samples, there were thin slices of vanilla vanilla, vanilla strawberry, chocolate chocolate, champagne raspberry, and lemon raspberry and maybe some others I can’t remember. Honestly, the cake ranged from ok to very not good. The vanilla strawberry was by far the best, and the champagne raspberry was by far the worst. That raspberry filling was atrocious. It tasted chemically or something and the combo with the champagne cake was terrible. The chocolate was boring, tasted like grocery store cake and I’m pretty sure the ‘frosting’ that was on the outside of all the cakes was cool whip. It definitely was not butter cream and it was light like whipped cream, but was clearly non dairy. When the owner came out (after letting us sit out there for like 15 minutes or so… a very long period of time), we told her straight up we just didn’t really like the cake, no offense, but it was not for us. She then told us that they only make the samples once every 2 weeks and we were at the end of that time period. Wow. Just so you know, they charge 15 $ for tastings. For 15 $ we got the equivalent of 1 slice of 2 week old cake… and they’re trying to gain my business? That is definitely unforgettable, but not so much in a good way. So anyway, the owner was gracious and offered us a second tasting if we wanted, but honestly there is no way I would buy my cake from them after what I experienced.
PS My brother got his wedding cake from this bakery a couple years ago, which is why I tried it and I remember it being fairly good, so maybe something has changed, or maybe it really is better when it is fresh, but I’m not willing to take that risk.

I’m so glad my husband and I made the decision to order our wedding cake from Fleur de Lis!!! We were extremely pressed for time during the wedding planning stage, so we weren’t able to do as much research on cake styles/​patterns as we would have liked. We decided to provide Liana with a general set of guidelines on our stylistic preferences and give her the creative freedom to build the cake as she pleased. When we stepped into the ballroom of our reception hall and took our first look at cake, we were completely blown away! It was absolutely beautiful – better than any design I would’ve crafted or imagined. Liana is a true artist. Moreover, the cake was delicious – we can’t wait to dig into the top tier on our 1^st anniversary next year. :-)

Ok so there were 5 of us at the cake tasting. The slivers were so thin you could see through them. We thought we would be stuffed when we left but it just made us hungrier and sader. The designs were ok but I personally was not over excited and the cakes were ok. I wish the owner would have explained somethings before we had tried the slices. It would have helped explain the tasting maybe.

Liana is a very passionate and honest business owner. I have ordered/​purchased two cakes within the last three months and they have been outstanding. They taste wonderful, look exquisite and are reasonably priced. This bakery has been in business for many, many years. Try them… you will not be disappointed!!!

I will start this review by mentioning I have not actually been to the location, but that I received samples of cakes from this bakery from a catering company at a tasting. So, I have no information on the shop or the service, only the taste.
And let me tell you, it is definitely NOT worth making the trip to the bakery. I received four samples, White Chocolate, Strawberry Rum, Raspberry, and Chocolate. The cake was light and fluffy, but honestly resembled the kind of cake layers that you get from a grocery store. You know, unnaturally light and fluffy. (If you’ve ever made a cake from scratch, they are more dense than that from a box.) There is no way this cake was made with fresh ingredients. But, this doesn’t matter to everyone, and the taste of the actual cake was not that bad. Also, there are some decent boxed cake brands out there. As for fillings, there seemed to be a layer of pudding, (vanilla and chocolate, depending on which cake you try) and it, too tasted like it came out of a box or a can. My guess would be from a large tin can, which certainly has it’s place on a Chinese food buffet, but not on a supposed gourmet cake. In addition to the pudding, there was the flavor of choice for the cake. One was a layer of strawberry jam, which said it was strawberry rum, but I couldn’t taste the rum at all. The raspberry was also a jam and pudding combination. The chocolate was the least offensive of the cakes (a majority vote by the two friends I had with me) and the worst was the white chocolate, which my friend’s 6 year old son tasted and then made the most hilarious face before asking if he had to eat anymore. (And we’re not talking about a picky kid here. He routinely eats burritos from Chipotle with spicy barbacoa and guacamole, which is not something you’ll see a picky eater do.) To top it all off, no pun intended, the frosting was a non-​dairy whipped cream. Are you kidding me? Spring the extra $ 1/​gallon for the real stuff! You’ve clearly skimped on the rest of your ingredients, so how about you go nuts on this part.
In case there was any doubt left in your mind, no, I did not decide to order cake from Fleur De Lis. If I wanted a grocery store cake, I’d go to a grocery store and probably pay a hell of a lot less. Sadly, they have quite a few pictures on their site, which means lots of suckers have shopped here. It is «unforgettable» for sure. I will definitely remember not to recommend it to anyone. Save your money and just get your wedding cake at Costco, or go to a better bakery if you’re looking for gourmet.

I was planning a surprise birthday for my husband. We live in California and we were coming into Phoenix for the 49er Cardinal season opener. I contacted Fleur de Lis to help me design a birthday cake for my husband. They talked to me over the phone and helped me design exactly what I wanted. They worked really hard on it and it turned out amazing. They even helped me keep it from melting in the Pheonix heat! My husband was so excited and surprised. I’m trying to post a picture of the cake, it’s a 3-​D space shuttle. Thank you so much!

Wonderful, wonderful!
This was my family’s 3^rd birthday cake purchase from this cakery this year. And I must say, they did a wonderful job with what they had to work with. As you may not already know, I’m quite the artist and have been known to draw up some fancy stuff from time to time, be it tattoo design or cake design, I do it all! So I gave them my drawing to work with, and I really feel the cake artist enjoyed the challenge and did that much more of an incredible job of it. Plus, the staff was just overly helpful and nice about everything, I kind of feel bad about how much I harassed them but they never once got annoyed where I could physically hear or see it. One star docked, because the price was insane, I was at least hoping to get fondant with that $ 42+ for an 8 inch…
Sadly, this was my birthday cake mind you, I’ve had it since 2pm yesterday and haven’t even had a slice of it, and plan on doing that as my breakfast. But I have no doubts that its just as fantabulous as my mom’s and dad’s cakes.

I’m not biased because it was my wedding reception and I was half responsible for picking it out (well, 40%, no, more like 23%), but this was seriously the best wedding cake I’ve ever had.
The cake itself was BEYOND 5 STARS — it was a multi teired beauty on a white wrought iron triple platform, simply smothered in fresh strawberries, blueberries, and rasberries. So YUM. The cake and frosting were an excellent consistency and perfectly not-​too-​sweet.
The only thing holding back the last star was an unfortunate situation during the select-​your-​cake appointment, where the previous appt ran long, and even though it was the customer’s fault, not the cake-lady’s, cake-​lady didn’t really do anything to try to speed them up, and her pained glances in our direction did not make us feel any better about sitting there listening to 3 humungous women ask to try each and every sample in the entire building.
Fleur De Lis seems very mom-​and-​pop-​ish, but this I did not confirm. They are affiliated with the Embassy (Fountain) Suites at Greenway as the one of the bakers from which you may choose your cake that is included with the wedding package, so we weren’t sure what we’d be getting.
But the cake was a big hit; I don’t remember a single person not loving it, and we had to scramble to get the top put away for saving before everybody gobbled it all up.
I’ll try to remember to add a pic because it was truly spectacular.
