They're all correct, but different situations:
"Sorry, we're sold out." -- Everything is gone, there is nothing left at the store.
"Sorry, we sold out." -- That item you asked for is out of stock.
"Those cakes sold out fast." -- The cakes are gone. There are no cakes left.
"Those cakes are sold fast." -- An observation about the kind of cake. The cakes may be in or out of stock at that moment.
