What they wrote
- Ashe doesn't like birthday cake. Ashe ordered a double choco cake to surprise a friend, tried it, and wrote: "it turned out... ADDICTIVE?"
- Michelle K. doesn't like cheese. About the strawberry cheese cake: "I could totally eat this."
- Vanessa C. ordered twice for a younger sibling who is "super picky about eating cake". The logic is simple: if the sibling likes it, the cake really is good.
- Agatha G. didn't expect much. In the end everyone liked it, "including my mum and my aunties, whose taste buds are VERY picky".
The ones who disagree
Not everyone feels the same, and we show that too. Irene Y. gave 4 stars: the design was as expected, but the strawberry cheese cake was "still too sweet for me". Tammy P. liked the cake, but found the lemon curd "a little too sweet", adding "but that comes down to taste". Margaretha J. gave 3 stars: "the taste was just so-so".
Sweetness is a matter of taste. We would rather you read all of it, not only the praise.
From our kitchen
Our buttercream is European-style, made deliberately less sweet than American-style buttercream, and we use imported dairy and butter. Some customers guessed in their reviews that we use premium ingredients; that's the answer.
The flavour comes out best if you take the cake out of the fridge 30–60 minutes before serving, so the buttercream softens.

Ordered via WhatsApp with an admin who responded fast, they also gave me delivery options, I asked for the latest delivery they could manage. The portrait design was super cute and as expected. The strawberry cheese cake was delicious, I don't like cheese but I could totally eat this.

Order via WA dgn admin yg fast response, dikasih opsi juga untuk delivery, aku request delivery yg paling malem mereka sanggupi. Design potrait nya lucu bgttt dan sesuai ekspektasi. Cake nya rasa strawberry cheese enak, aku gasuka keju tapi ini bisa bgt makan.
I've ordered cakes here twice for my younger sibling and they always love it … If my sibling likes it, the cake really is good, because they're super picky about eating cake Besides tasting good, the designs are pretty too! The first time I ordered a caricature of my sibling's favourite idol and it came out 80% alike … This year I ordered a Korean vintage cake, and the colours were pretty too The admin was friendly too, patient waiting for my replies, followed up, answered all my questions. Sarangheo and keep it up, Wanderbakes

Sarangheo dan sukses teruss untuk Wanderbakes
Hi.. everything went smoothly from ordering to delivery … there was a revision and it was done right away Honestly the flavour of the cake was way beyond expectations because it turned out really delicious ??? I didn't expect much at first because I was only trying it and had no idea what to expect.. it turned out everyone liked it, including my mum and my aunties, whose taste buds are VERY picky

Hi kak.. semua lancar ya dari pemesanan - pengiriman … ada revisi jg lgsg sat set Jujur bgt utk flavor kue nya sangat diluar ekspektasi karena ternyata enak bgt ??? aku gak berharap banyak di awal karena baru nyoba jg dan gak ada bayangan.. ternyata semua suka termasuk mami dan tante2 ku yg lidah nya milih BANGET
design as expected. the roblox theme was drawn really well. the cake was still too sweet for me. I ordered the strawberry cheese cake. I was hoping for a little strawberry tang. but this was more just sweet. but the texture was soft. my kids liked it though.
Original (Bahasa Indonesia)
design sesuai ekspektasi. tema roblox bisa digambar dengan baik banget. kuenya masih kemanisan buatku. aku pesen strawberry cheese cake. harapannya ada asem2 strawberry dikit gitu. tapi ini lebih ke manis aja sih. tapi teksturnya lembut. anak2ku sih suka.
… The texture was nice and not dry, the sweetness of the cake was just right, not too sweet, and it went well with the cream and the lemon curd, although for me the lemon curd was a little too sweet, but that comes down to taste. Everyone's taste is different. Overall 8.5/10
Original (Bahasa Indonesia)
… Untuk tekstur enak dan ga seret, manis kuenya juga pas ga kemanisan dan berpadu baik dengan krim dan lemon curdnya walaupun buat aing lemon curdnya agak kemanisan, tapi balik ke selera lagi ya. Krn tiap orang seleranya berbeda. Overall 8.5/10
to be honest, the taste was just so-so
