At least some short-notice orders have been completed successfully, including a customised cake made within nine hours.
Cake Jars

Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm Timing. For an event, reconfirm dispatch and delivery on the day; one order promised 12:30–4:30 PM but was still unresolved after 5:30 PM.
Request Photos. Ask for a finished-cake photo before dispatch and follow up if it is not sent; a reviewer’s request was ignored.
Clarify Edibility. If you want every decorative element edible, confirm exactly which parts are edible; one 3KG cake included a non-edible perfume-bottle design.
Check Parking. If you are collecting in person, parking was reported as available at the Al Jaddaf shop.

The Bottom Line
Cake Away Custom Cakes & Desserts in Al Jaddaf covers both celebration orders and smaller dessert cravings. Customers come for custom birthday and occasion cakes, but the cake jars are the clearest repeat favourite, with flavours such as red velvet, Oreo, salted chocolate, fruit and hazelnut dream. Cupcakes, brownies, cookies and milkshakes also appear in reviews, making the shop useful when you want something giftable without committing to a large cake.
The strongest experiences are quite specific: one customer said a supplied cake photo was replicated with every detail intact, while another received a beautiful custom cake within nine hours. The packaging is often praised for gifting, and parking was reported as available. The shop has also been described as warm and welcoming, with helpful staff guiding customers through the jar flavours.
For important events, however, reliability is the main concern. Recent reviewers describe late or missed deliveries, incorrect names and designs, damaged cakes, dry sponge and unanswered WhatsApp messages. Some say promised refunds were never received.
If the cake matters to a fixed-time party, reconfirm the delivery window, request a finished-cake photo and clarify fondant and edible elements in writing. For a simpler first visit, cake jars may be the safer way to sample the range.
