What People Are Saying About Darlene's Decorated Kakes
Featured Review

In Short – Whether you're celebrating someone's third or perpetual 39th, Darlene will decorate a cake for you. Cakes come decorated in any one of the hundreds of designs on the wall. Choose the flavor (coconut, peanut butter, German chocolate, caramel, black forest, etc.), the frosting and decorations. For a radical departure from the standard birthday white, venture into the land of carrot cakes with cream cheese icing or Darlene's version of the ice cream cake. – –

Darlene is a God Sent
by Bell2010
For birthday's at my company, we always order cakes from the Kroger that's by Rosa Parks, and I can not recall one time that we have picked up a cake that we ordered that was correct. So frustrated, looking for somewhere to order a cake for my manager, I got on Google and found Darlene's Kakes. She has been totally great with us!! We have called last minute to order a cake, and being we put her in a last minute situation, we requested the flavors(which she has a large variety of unlike most cake bakeries I have come across), and told her to work her magic, and that is just what she did. Her cakes are so moist....I don't know how to describe her and her cakes except for excellent!! I saw a review on here that kind of bothered me. You can tell that this woman takes pride in her work and is very courteous. You could come to my office and ask anyone, she makes "THE BEST CAKES", and they deliver!!! You can not beat that! Thank you for your excellent work Mrs. Darlene, and you will be hearing from us next month for our birthday cake!!

This bakery has it all! There are so many flavors and combinations to choose from and the cakes are unbelievably delicious!
I ordered a birthday cake for my daughter attending school in Nashville, and it was PERFECT! It was delivered on time, was so beautiful she sent me a picture, and she told me how absolutely delicious it tasted! This is my go-to bakery every time!

Just Not Good
by 1973bella
Our office manager insists on ordering birthday cakes for the staff from Darlene's even though no one likes them. The cake itself is mediocre, being dry, not flavorful at all and very bland. The only choices seem to be yellow or chocolate, but they taste exactly the same. The chocolate doesn't even have any chocolate flavor. The worst part though is the icing which, in a word, is disgusting. It's that nasty kind of thick, cloying, pasty icing that is made from Crisco and sugar and it tastes dreadful. They pile ten tons of it on the cake and it's just gross. The cakes aren't professionally decorated either, just some crappy icing balloons and very average lettering. It is pretty ridiculous to charge their sky high prices for a cake that is pretty much a step down from a Wal-mart cake, and Wal-mart cakes are pretty gross too. You'd be far, far better off making a cake from scratch, or even a mix. If you don't have the time, the HG Hill grocery store downtown makes DELICIOUS cakes that are far more reasonably priced. I can't recommend Darlene's at all. I don't know how they stay in business. Anyone could make a better cake and decorate it better too.
