The Good Stuff
Fresh cakes
Several customers describe the cakes as fresh, moist, light and fluffy, with balanced fillings and frosting.
Popsicle cake
The popsicle cake received an especially strong review for taste and value, outperforming the shop’s small round cake.
Pistachio cake
The pistachio cake is a specifically recommended flavour for anyone choosing from the shop’s cake selection.
Helpful service
Customers often describe the staff as friendly and accommodating, including for repeat and last-minute orders.
Party add-ons
The shop is useful for occasions because customers have found flowers, candles and cakes together for birthday arrangements.
Fast delivery
One customer ordering remotely from India reported that a birthday cake arrived within an hour of ordering.
Tips for a Better Visit
Pre-order designs. For a themed or customised cake, pre-order and share the reference design; customers say customisation works best with advance notice.
Check items. Before leaving or accepting delivery, verify every item against the order because one customer received incorrect and missing items.
Choose carefully. If deciding between formats, ask about the popsicle cake: it was praised far more strongly than one small round cake.
Confirm freshness. For larger or advance orders, confirm when the cake was made and inspect it promptly, given reports of stale taste and an unpleasant smell.
Allow flexibility. Last-minute orders may be possible, but advance notice is the safer choice for a specific celebration design.

The Bottom Line
Violet Sweets and Flowers is a Liwan cake shop aimed at birthdays and other celebrations. You can order a themed cake, pick up flowers and candles for the occasion, or choose smaller treats such as cupcakes. Reviews repeatedly praise the cakes’ freshness, moist sponge and balanced fillings, with the mermaid birthday cake and gender-reveal cake both matching the requested designs.
There are a few particularly useful flavour clues. The pistachio cake is specifically recommended, while one customer called the popsicle cake the best item they had tasted and described it as good value. Another review praised Red Velvet, Chocolate Ganache and Chocolate Nutella for their sponge.
The shop also handles remote and urgent orders: one birthday cake ordered from India was delivered within an hour, and another last-minute gender-reveal order was completed successfully. The main caution is consistency. Customers have reported incorrect or missing items, stale taste and an unpleasant smell, while one small round cake was judged average beside an excellent popsicle cake.
Balloon service also caused problems for one customer when helium was gone within ten minutes. For an important event, pre-order the design, confirm freshness and check the complete order before the celebration.
