The Good Stuff
Custom Guidance
A first-time customer said the team helped with flavour selection while combining two separate design ideas into one birthday cake.
Celebration Range
Customers have ordered cakes for birthdays, weddings, bachelorette events and pre-wedding ceremonies, including a detailed mermaid cake for twin girls.
Remote Ordering
One customer ordered from Bangladesh for a husband living in Dubai and reported that the cake arrived on time and in good condition.
Packaging
A vanilla custard mini cake ordered through Smiles was specifically praised for its cute packaging as well as the cake itself.
Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm Delivery. Confirm the delivery window and follow up before the event; one birthday cake never arrived after repeated delays.
Send References. Send a reference image and spell out the details you want; multiple customers said the final design closely followed their picture.
Discuss Ingredients. If you want fresh fruit, confirm the filling directly, since one customer received jam instead of fresh strawberries.
Check Promotions. Ask how promotional orders compare with the usual recipe and finish, as one repeat customer reported a disappointing offer cake.
Choose Flavour. Ask for flavour guidance if you are unsure; one customer was helped while combining two design ideas for a birthday cake.

The Bottom Line
Glance Cake Studio is an online cake shop serving International City and delivering across Dubai. It is mainly known for customised celebration cakes: send a design reference, discuss the flavour, and order a finished cake for a birthday, anniversary or larger event. Customers have also ordered bachelorette and pre-wedding cakes, including an elaborate mermaid cake.
The strongest pattern in the reviews is design accuracy. Several customers say their reference images were replicated closely, while one first-time buyer combined two designs with help choosing the flavour. Taste is usually praised too, from a moist chocolate and Nutella buttercream cake to a vanilla custard mini cake and a much-loved fruit cake.
Packaging also received a specific compliment on the mini cake. There are some important caveats for time-sensitive celebrations. One birthday delivery was repeatedly delayed and never arrived, although other customers reported prompt or early delivery, so confirm the delivery window and keep communication documented.
Quality is not entirely consistent: a promotional order disappointed one repeat customer, while another reported an overly creamy, dough-like texture and jam instead of fresh strawberries. Ask about fillings and promotion recipes before paying. Pricing feedback varies: one review called it reasonable, while another described prices as high but worthwhile; a three-layer cake was reported at 1,125 AED.
