"I've had Cathy's Rum Cakes for a variety of occasions and every single time they nail it. Now I live in San Francisco and WISH I could have a caterer in the city who makes anything close to these cakes. Deep Dish Pizza from Chicago Cheesesteaks from Philly and Cathy's Rum Cakes from Scottsdale She is by far the best at what she does. As far as those who complain on this site about frozen cakes, yes they should be thawed before you eat them, but the freezing keeps them absolutely fresh. They are only frozen overnight to keep the fruit and custard fresh but by the time you thaw, WOW. I'm sure you could make a special request to have your cake picked up on the day it was baked if you didn't want it frozen. I highly recommend this caterer for the cakes. My favorite: Strawberry! Enjoy"

"If your taste buds have ever encountered the goodness that is Cathy’s Rum Cake then you'll agree that having three locations in the Valley doesn't seem enough. Moist cake, rich custard, and the icing that you just can't stop eating because it's neither too sweet nor bland, it's perfect. This is heaven for rum cake lovers. And if you haven't tasted it, I think you are missing out.

Special occasions are always a good excuse to order their cakes. Yes, they are not cheap but they are absolutely worth it. Last weekend I ordered two birthday cakes and I counted the days till I could pick them up, and then until I could get a slice. My favorite flavor is chocolate chocolate rum. If you're not into that, they have other flavors:

And here's my Cathy's Rum Cake story from the weekend:

I made a boo-boo after we picked up a cake. It's just classic: I toppled over the cake box when I was trying to pick it up the floor of the car. Note to self: do not try to bring everything all at once especially if there's prepared food involved. It calls for a disaster. With only 15 minutes left till their closing time (and we are about 10 minutes from the Phoenix location), I was in total panic. How could they possibly help us near closing time on a Saturday?! My boyfriend called them while I was petrified with the thought of fixing a botched cake for the first time in my life. I couldn't believe it when he told me that all we needed to do was go there and there will be another cake ready, free of charge. I didn't care if I had to pay as long as I had another cake, if you know what I mean. It is never a pleasant thing to have to tell the birthday celebrator that you're sorry for the unrecognizable cake--Oh, and by the way, bon appetit! We drove back there and got a new cake. We got there and my boyfriend didn't tell him that we need the pink cake replaced not the blue one, so I was almost in hysterics when I saw the blue cake. The owner calmed me down and said not to worry he will fix it. And he did. In a few minutes, he transformed it with a pink Happy Birthday and matching ribbons. Voila! I offered to pay again, but he declined. I told him he made our day! He said that made it worth it. I love it when I encounter genuinely good people. It just drives you to do the same to others.

I would say that if you want to get a cake, order at least 5 days before the event. Like I said, it is so good that you couldn't wait for the next chance/excuse to order another one!"
