The Good Stuff
Theme Cakes
Birthday themes such as mermaids, Peppa Pig and Super Mario Brothers have been recreated with detailed designs.
Dietary Requests
The team has fulfilled nut-free cake requests, including a chocolate cake enjoyed by children at a birthday party.
Smooth Ordering
One customer arranged a personalised cake through WhatsApp, receiving design confirmation, delivery timing and a convenient payment link.
Fresh Cupcakes
The cupcakes are described as moist and flavourful, with elegant presentation suitable for celebrations or gifting.
Party Delivery
Several customers report on-time delivery, including two personalised birthday cakes delivered without issues.
Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm Design. Ask for the final design confirmation and, if possible, a cake photo before dispatch; one customer received a design mismatch.
Check Portions. Confirm the actual serving size before paying, since one AED54 cake advertised for 2–4 was reported to serve one.
Request Candles. If candles matter for the celebration, confirm they are packed rather than assuming they come with the cake.
Clarify Flavour. Double-check the exact flavour and filling against the order, as one customer received vanilla instead of the requested vanilla red velvet.
Ask About Freshness. For carrot cake or heavily iced orders, ask when it was made; one customer found the cake dry and the frosting clumped.
Try In Store. The bakery has a neat, photo-friendly interior, and reviews mention cinnamon rolls, tea and Basque cheesecake for an in-person visit.

The Bottom Line
Pastel Cakes in Jumeirah is geared towards celebration baking, with customized birthday cakes and cupcakes as the main attractions. Customers have ordered mermaid, Peppa Pig and Super Mario Brothers themes, and several say their designs were reproduced closely. The chocolate hazelnut cake, rich chocolate buttercream and Skinny Carrot cake also receive specific praise, while the cupcakes are described as moist, flavourful and elegantly presented.
Ordering can be pleasantly straightforward: one customer settled the design, delivery time and payment through WhatsApp, and others reported punctual delivery. The bakery has also handled nut-free requests and, in one case, replaced a cake damaged during delivery. The shop itself is described as neat, cozy and suitable for photos; reviews also mention cinnamon rolls with jasmine tea and Basque cheesecake with an iced Spanish latte.
Quality and value are not completely consistent. Some customers received fresh, delicious cakes, but others reported dry or stale sponge, overly sweet icing, little filling, gritty texture or a design that did not match the order. Portion expectations deserve particular attention: one AED54 cake said to serve 2–4 was described as palm-sized.
Before a party, confirm the flavour, filling, serving size, design and whether candles are included. For a custom cake, asking for a final photo before dispatch could prevent an unpleasant surprise.
