Olexa's Catering, Cafe And Cakes

If your interested in going to France (in Mountain Brook, AL) this is the place to go. The ambience and setting are stellar and the wait staff and cooks treat you like family. The food choices are plentiful and the taste of everything I ordered (White chicken chili; chicken salad salad, and carrot cake) was other worldly good! I mean really good. The carrot cake was the best I've had in terms of taste. moisture, and frosting. I will be ordering at least one cake per month the rest of my life! Yes it was that good. If you are anywhere near Birmingham you have to try this chic and amazing cafe!

Olexa's has been my go-to cake place for years. I think they have the best flavored cakes in Birmingham. However, the last couple of cakes I've ordered have had significant cracks in the icing. And this last time it looked really terrible (see pics). I was so embarrassed because this was for my stepmom's retirement party. I had to attempt to squish the icing back on the cake so it wouldn't fall off before we ate it. The cake only traveled 10 minutes, then sat inside in the a/c. So no reason for the issue at all. For $68, I expect a cake to look good for a couple of hours.

I've had wedding and birthday cakes from Olexa several times before and I thought I would try them again. The cake was disappointing, the batter had been over mixed or it had too much baking powder. There were so many air bubbles the cake was dry and the flavor was lacking. Im not sure, but this cake did not taste like the ones from the past. The frosting was tasty and buttery. However, the service was impeccable as always and they're very friendly here.

I’ve ordered a couple of cakes here lately, and they have been so delicious and fresh. I’ve also had such a good experience talking to the bakery staff on the phone. Whoever I’ve spoken to has been so so kind, knowledgeable, given helpful info or suggestions on decorations and whatnot. It’s just such a pleasure to buy and enjoy a cake from here.
