After doing several tastings with wedding cake vendors, we decided on Simon Lee for our daughter's wedding in December 2021, and we are glad we did. The cakes (bride's and groom's) were absolutely delicious. We received numerous comments from our guests as to how much they loved both cakes. Simon Lee was easy to work with and came up with exactly what our daughter and son-in-law wanted. They are experienced and professional, and came through for us every step of the way. We highly recommend them!

Got a 5 tier wedding cake with Simon Lee and WOW not only was my cake beautiful, but it tasted absolutely amazing! The owner was very helpful in figuring out how exactly I wanted the cake and it turned out perfect. I definitely recommend this place for any cake needs!

Simon Lee Bakery is truly amazing! My husband is not a fan of cake, but the moment he tasted Judy's cake his eyes went wide and he smiled so big. He exclaimed, now that is great cake! Not only was our cake beautifully designed, Judy was so easy and wonderful to work with. She even delivered our gorgeous cake all the way to Waco, TX for our big day. We are so thankful to Judy & Simon Lee Bakery for making our day the best day ever!

Simon Lee Bakery is the most delicious! We worked with Judy and Jad for our wedding in February of 2020 and they made the most beautiful and delicious cakes! Everyone still raves about them! They are true artists that can accomplish any vision for the cakes/desserts, and not to mention they taste wonderful! We had three mini cakes and petit fours for guests- they were gone very quickly after we cut the cake! I would 10000% Simon Lee Bakery for your wedding cakes/desserts!

Simon Lee Bakery is THE BEST. We've planned countless weddings and events with them, and they've delivered amazingly delicious desserts with impeccable customer service every time. And their designs - there's nothing they can't do! We look forward to many more decades of delicious events with Simon Lee. Something To Celebrate

My husband and I were SO HAPPY with our wedding cake. It was beautiful and absolutely delicious! We had so many guests asking about the flavor (Orange flavored sponge with orange mousse). Working with Judy and her husband was an absolute delight too! We strongly recommend Simon Lee Bakery.

This was the fifth and final bakery at which my fiance and I had a wedding cake tasting. Hands down, it was the BEST and most delicious cake we tried. It was a $25 dollar tasting charge, but they brought us each a plate with ten different, decently sized slices of cake. The cakes were pre-constructed, none of that build-your-own nonsense here. I am still drooling about the flavors. Amazing!

First downside: you could not pick which flavors you try. We were told the flavors on our plate were the most popular, but I'm pretty sure it was just whatever they happened to be making that day or weekend. Second downside: THE COST. My fiance and I only wanted a small, two-tiered cutting cake, as we plan to have a full dessert bar. For a cake that serves 30 people, with delivery to downtown Austin, and plain, white frosting, no design, the price was $450!

I couldn't believe it. Seriously, I thought they were joking. Delicious, moist, mouthwatering cake at ASTRONOMICAL prices. Needless to say, we went with another baker who was our second favorite and 1/3 of the cost.

When I did my tasting for my wedding I honestly never had cake so amazing in my life. The cakes are on the pricey side, but you get what you pay for. When it was time for my daughter birthday we got her cake here as well, and Judy did a beautiful job. We will continue to come here for cakes for family occasions.

I first had Simon Lee at a wedding I attended about 8 years ago, and it was THE BEST CAKE I EVER HAD to this day! It was a MUST that Simon Lee needed to bake our wedding cake! Not only are the cakes extremely gorgeous, but they are absolutely divine! We had so many compliments from our guests on how amazingly delicious our cake was! Judy Lee was also a joy to work with--she is so sweet, professional, and customer-oriented!

She always answered to any of my questions and requests, and made our experience that much enjoyable. I would recommend Simon Lee in a heartbeat without a doubt, to anyone who is looking for a fabulous, delicious cake!

Simon Lee Bakery was a prefered vendor for my wedding venue. I tried to get in touch with Judy early on in the planning process. I called their bakery phone for a solid week with no answer. I sent emails and left voicemails. Just finally answered the store phone one day and told me that it was too early to schedule a tasting (first red flag). I then tried to schedule a tasting back in November.

This again ended up being like pulling teeth. It was extremely difficult to get in touch with Judy (second red flag). I finally had gotten an appointment scheduled for January. After all holidays. Judy had asked me on the phone multiple times when and where the wedding was, but we finally had a tasting on the books. I had sent an email early in the week to confirm our appointment with Judy.

She responded that she had us down for a different time (big red flag). We worked it out to where we could come during our original scheduled time, which she ended up being 10 minutes late to. Found out we only had 30 minutes for our meeting, 10 of which she was absent for. We were given maybe 5 or six cake choices. None of them were outstanding. Some of the cakes seemed to be a few days old, the strawberries were old and mushy: almost to the point of greying, the pina colada and orange cakes were extremely strong and really damp, wet cakes.

We were then told our only options for wedding cakes were the pina colada and orange cakes. This was soooo shocking. We wanted a simple vanilla cake with buttercream frosting, but then were told that the we would have to sacrifice a tier of our allotted three-tier cake to get plain vanilla (last straw). I really had a terrible experience working with Judy.

I am happy to see people had better experiences though. Planning a wedding is stressful enough, the cake should be literally a piece of cake to plan, and sadly this left a lot to be desired.

Apparently today Simon Lee Bakery was closed but the people at the store allowed us to order a cake for my daughters baby shower anyway. I've had cakes made by them before and know how special and great tasting they are. I cannot wait to get our cake in January!

We did many cake tastings, mainly because that was my favorite part, but no one held a candle to Simon & Lee. Their cakes were so light and flavorful, I could eat a whole piece without feeling like I had to be rolled out of the room. Simon & Lee is also family owned and operated and Judy was such a joy to work with! But the best part was that Judy was able to make perfect renderings of our sweet pups for our cake! So many of our guests made a point to tell us it was he best cake they've ever had! We definitely agreed :

Simon Lee Bakery not only makes beautiful cakes but they taste amazing too! I hired them to make my stunning wedding cake 2 years ago. They followed through with everything I asked of them. My cake was delivered on time and in perfect condition. I got married in July in Austin so it was beyond hot but the cake made it! I've hired them recently for smaller baked goods and they do exceptionally well every time. I look forward to working with them for all of my special occasions!

I have been a customer of Simon Lee Bakery since 2005- there is not another bakery in town I would trust with our precious celebration treats. So, when it finally came time for my own wedding in 2018, it was a no-brainer that Simon Lee was going to be our cake vendor. True to form, both our wedding cake and petit fours were immaculately designed, and absolutely delicious!

As expected, the cakes stole the show, and were the talk of the evening! They are made fresh the morning of your event, no matter the event, and are always moist, flavorful, and beautifully designed. You can tell they take great pride in their craft, and genuinely care about each cake they create. In my consultation for my wedding cake, Judy took great care to listen to and document my every wish, and sketched a design right there for me to see.

She prepared an instant quote, and delivered the cake right on time the day of my wedding. From start to finish, Simon Lee Bakery was professional and the best in their class!

As much as I love their cakes, the service is terrible! I have talked to others that have had a similar bait and switch experience with the pricing quoted at The Bridal Expo or a venue vendor expo. As a clarification to my pervious post my husband has gotten me a Simon Lee cake for birthdays and anniversaries since our wedding. I have always been astonished at the price for a SHEET CAKE with plain frosting.

You are essentially always paying the "wedding" mark-up. As an FYI their icing is on the REALLY sweet side.as in you can taste granulated sugar in the icing. The past few orders have been just disappointing. Their store is still located in a crummy strip mall. They may have "expanded" their waiting area but they have really poor service. And don't let the display case fool you.

If they even have anything in the case, they are $4-5 cookies. I guess all their local hype has made them complacent. We won't be ordering from Sinon Lee again. So sad when a business just checks out on customer service.

Simon Lee Bakery has the best tasting cakes in the area! We recently ordered a small 3-tier cake for about 75 guests. We had no idea on design or flavor but at our initial meeting, they were so helpful on creating exactly what we envisioned. We were able to taste all the cake flavors (which were amazzzzing!) and they were flexible on making the best cake within our budget. I highly recommend Simon Lee Bakery for any occasion.

Simon Lee Bakery is hands down the best bakery that you could get your wedding cake from! Or any other cake for that matter! Not only is it the best cake that I have EVER had, Judy is one of the sweetest people that I have ever met. She really helped my husband and I get the exact cake we wanted for our wedding! For our 1 year anniversary we went back to get a small cake from Simon Lee and Judy helped us to get a cake that looked like a miniature version of our wedding cake!

It was amazing and tasted just as fantastic as I remembered. I will only ever order cakes from Simon Lee Bakery from now on! I can't wait for my next reason to need a cake! Huge thank you to Judy and the rest of Simon Lee Bakery for making us the cake of our dreams!

I can attest that several reviews here had me completely worried. I chose Simon Lee Bakery because they were a preferred vendor for my venue and I received a credit if I worked with this bakery. Communication is a factor and something that needs to be treated with patience on both sides. She's a very busy woman, but so are the brides to be. She's a very stressed woman running an amazing bakery, but brides to be are also stressed out planning their perfect day.

This is something to remember when working with Simon Lee Bakery. Bring your own water, because none will be provided for you. Call ahead and talk out flavors because waiting until the day of will is chaotic. She's a very sweet and kind woman, but come prepared ladies. I was THRILLED with our cakes she provided! They were delicious and I'd recommend her to anyone in the Austin area.

Horrible customer service and what really turned me off was the cats in front of their establishment YUCK! They feed them so who know if cat hair is in the cakes or not! The lady is RUDE and just had a very nasty attitude.

I've dabbled in cake decorating, so I have an idea about the cost of ingredients and the amount of labor that goes into making a cake. I'm also from the NYC area, and am used to those kinds of prices. The cake we got from Simon Lee for my parents' 50th Anniversary was very reasonably priced, absolutely a show-stopper, and truly delicious. Thank you to everyone at Simon Lee for such a high quality and lovely cake for my parents' special day.

LITERALLY THE MOST DELICIOUS CAKE TO EVER HIT YOUR MOUTH! We had Judy make the cakes for our wedding and we couldn't be more happy! We had raspberry lemon, pina colada, raspberry whipcream, and tres leche. and they were all amazing (but you must try to tres leche.seriously)! Most wedding cakes are decent in taste, but these were beyond "decent", our guests are still asking me where we got our cake. it was that good!

I cant rave enough about how awesome it was to work with Judy, she was the sweetest lady ever! On top of the taste of the cakes, they looked beautiful as well! I was so impressed with Judy and the quality of her cakes! Seriously go do a tasting, your stomach will thank you!

We just had our cake tasting at Simon Lee and I couldn't have been more disappointed! We sat there for 12 minutes before they brought out the pieces of cake to start the tasting. When I asked for water Art seemed hesitant to bring us any. I would have thought that it was a normal request when tasting cake. After we finally got the cake and went through the flavors it was downhill.

He did ask us all the normal questions, but then he was so hung up on the other places we have tried and how the compare. He wanted to know who else we've tried. Then he straight up asked "How did their cake compare to ours". It was so extremely uncomfortable! And then to top it off he flat out asked "so what pricing did they give you?" Which only made it more awkward.

He followed up by asking what other places we are going to. Then when he found out we live in Pflugerville he jokingly chided us for not shopping local. I understand that while he is drawing out the cake he has to find something to talk about but that was completely inappropriate. It was such a terrible experience I would never recommend Simon Lee to anyone. We spent more time talking about our other tasting than we did what we wanted from Simon Lee.

Always been a fan of this bakery for their fruit cake. It is a white cake (2 layers) with fresh strawberries and buttercream filling, and almond slivers on the outside. You can ask for other berries on top, which I did on this last order, and they didn't charge extra. Sorry did not have any cake left for pictures, it was gone really fast. Current prices are $80 for an 8in, $110 for 10in. Yes, that is very steep considering the berry chantilly cake from whole foods is half the price and almost comparable to the taste.

It used to be around $40-$50 for the 8in. It is so good though, moist and not overly sweet, the cake and the buttercream. I have to say that the cake is probably catered to Asian taste buds because we don't like super sweet desserts. Keep that in mind, it is not that sweet. That's how I can eat the buttercream with the cake. I normally scrape off any buttercream on other cakes. I've had the opportunity to try a wedding cake by Simon Lee at a friend's wedding (pina colada flavor). It didn't disappoint either, not too sweet and moist. I did not scrape off the buttercream :)

So just to start off, I am a cake decorator, baker, etc, so I do have high standards. I analyze and critique anything I eat.that said, the cakes at this place are amazing. I ordered a 3 tier pina colada with cream cheese wedding cake and a single tier chocolate mousse cake for the groom. During the initial meeting and tasting, she got very confused about what design I wanted, despite the fact I gave her my wedding invitation and said copy this.

She messed up our monogram and then argued with me that it was right (It should have been KYH, but she wrote KHY) The cakes were GORGEOUS. Everyone had a fit at how beautiful both of them were. I was very very very pleased with how she executed the design. I had ordered cream cheese frosting, but for some reason it showed up covered in buttercream, but it still tasted so gosh darn amazing.

We took home a big chunk of both of the cakes, and I ate them as often as I could, and was very sad to throw the rest of it away a week later. Everyone just went crazy over how delicious and moist the cakes were. Customer service could be better. Cakes are amazing. Prices are average to pricey. For my two cakes I paid around $760, which is just a little more than I was expecting.

They say that there are three rings in every marriage: the engagement ring, the wedding ring, and the suffering. I don't care. It's worth it if you get to have a Simon Lee wedding cake. I enjoyed the tasting appointment. I left with my ears ringing and my head spinning for sugar and insulin attacking all my vital organs. Judy was a true professional, and we very quickly had a solid design for our white cake with cream cheese icing and fresh strawberries.

At the wedding, we received dozens of compliments about the cake. Everyone wanted to know what vendor we used. I barely got to nibble on a slice being the groom and all, but it was good enough to short circuit robot jesus. Highly recommended.
