The Good Stuff
Balanced flavours
Several customers describe the cakes as moist, fresh and light, with sweetness kept under control rather than overpowering.
Eggless options
Reviewers specifically praise the eggless cakes as soft, moist and lightly sweet, making this a useful option for egg-free celebrations.
Reliable delivery
Customers repeatedly report punctual delivery, including cakes sent to hotels and an office in JLT’s Cluster E.
Fresh cream
One birthday-cake review specifically found the fresh cream smooth, light and not overly sweet, alongside a vibrant custom design.
Fast turnaround
The team completed one unique custom design within a day, and another order was handled with less than 24 hours’ notice.
Flavour testing
For one children’s birthday order, the team provided two flavour testers before the family chose chocolate with Oreo filling.
Vegan cake
A customer who was unsure about vegan cake found it soft and tasty and said they would order it again.
Tips for a Better Visit
Send references. Share a photo or clear design brief when ordering; customers say the team can reproduce requested details closely.
Try testers. Ask whether flavour testers are available before choosing; one family sampled two options before selecting chocolate with Oreo filling.
Use WhatsApp. WhatsApp is described as the easiest ordering route by a repeat customer, especially for discussing flavours and delivery.
Allow preparation. Because cakes are made upon order, allow preparation time when freshness matters rather than relying on last-minute availability.
Confirm delivery. For hotel orders, keep communication open: an overseas customer was updated until the cake arrived safely at the hotel.

The Bottom Line
The Cake Lab is a made-to-order cake shop in Jumeirah Lake Towers, and the reviews make its custom celebration cakes the main draw. You can send a photo or theme and ask for a birthday design, a photo cake, or a more elaborate creation such as a Bakugan, Minecraft or Lion King cake. Customers commonly say the finished decoration closely followed their brief while still tasting fresh and balanced.
Flavour feedback is unusually specific. The fresh-cream cake was described as light, smooth and not overly sweet; chocolate with Oreo filling was soft and eggless; mango was fresh and balanced; and the blueberry vanilla cake was praised for its light sponge and beautiful glaze. Reviewers also mention vegan and eggless cakes, so dietary requirements are worth discussing when you order.
Communication and delivery are consistent strengths. Customers report on-time arrivals to homes, offices and hotels, including orders arranged from the UK and Sweden. For a first order, send your design reference early, ask about flavour testers, and consider WhatsApp for the conversation.
Cakes are made upon order, although some reviewers received custom work within a day or even under 24 hours. Pricing is generally described as reasonable, but one customer found a cake slightly pricey for the quality and service received.
