The Good Stuff
Custard favourite
The vanilla custard fruit cake has earned repeat customers, with one reviewer saying it stayed consistently light and enjoyable over a year.
Chocolate fudge
A chocolate fudge birthday cake was described as rich, decadent and beautifully made, with guests complimenting it.
Black Forest
The Black Forest cake ordered for 6–8 people was reported as a decent size, fluffy and not too sweet.
Freshness
One customer said the fruit cake stayed fresh for three or four days in the fridge and considered the quantity reasonably priced.
Custom orders
Some customers report patient handling of extra requests and supportive WhatsApp ordering for special occasions.
Gift packaging
A birthday cake came in a fancy white box with a lid carrying the Jumeirah hotel brand.
Tips for a Better Visit
Pre-order fruit. Ask about pre-ordering the fruit cake a day ahead; one reviewer says this can reduce its price.
Allow time. Build extra time into pickup plans: a carrot cake took about 25 minutes to arrive from a kitchen separate from the shop.
Confirm contact. Do not rely on a quick phone or WhatsApp response when placing an urgent order; repeated unanswered-contact reports are common.
Check delivery. Confirm the handover arrangement before ordering, since one review says delivery and drive-through service were unavailable.
Secure boxes. For pickup, check that separate cakes are properly boxed and secured before leaving, especially if you have a drive ahead.
Clarify design. For customised cakes, confirm exactly what decoration is included and whether edible flowers cost extra before accepting the quotation.

Common Concerns
Phone access
Several reviewers say calls, mobile messages and WhatsApp went unanswered, making orders and follow-up difficult.
Pickup delays
Pickup can take much longer than expected: one customer waited over 25 minutes for an order that was already ready.
Presentation issues
A gift cake reportedly arrived poorly presented despite a request to secure it properly, and another cake deteriorated during a 15-minute drive.
Custom pricing
A two-tier flower design quotation was 650 dirham for a plain cake, with edible flowers costing extra, which one customer found unpleasant to discuss.
Quality swings
Reviews are inconsistent: one Paris-Brest was described as extremely salty, while a Black Forest cake was called bitter and not fresh.

The Bottom Line
Creations Cakery in Umm Suqeim is mainly a celebration-cake stop, with the strongest and most consistent praise going to its fruit cake. The vanilla custard fruit cake is a particular repeat-order favourite, while reviews also mention chocolate fudge cake, Black Forest cake and customised designs. The fruit cake gets specific compliments for fresh fruit, moist sponge, an appealingly light texture and restrained sweetness.
One customer said it stayed fresh for three or four days in the fridge, and another noted that pre-ordering one day ahead can lower the price. The chocolate fudge cake was described as rich and decadent, while a Black Forest cake for 6–8 people was considered generously sized, fluffy and not too sweet. Service is the main reason to plan carefully.
Several customers struggled to reach the shop by phone or WhatsApp, and pickup waits of 25 minutes or more are reported, including for orders marked ready. Delivery and drive-through service were also reported as unavailable. Custom designs need especially clear confirmation: one flower-cake quote covered a plain two-tier cake, with edible flowers charged extra.
Quality and presentation are not uniformly praised, so inspect packaging before leaving and allow time for pickup.
