Kat is amazing to work with. She's so creative and her creations are so delicious. I may have a…read moresweet tooth but i don't enjoy desserts that are overly sweet or cloy. It's always a huuuuge compliment when we say something along the lines of "it's good, not too sweet." Because at the end of the day we want to be able to taste the flavors of the cake not the sugar. Anyway, Kat is always patient and works with me in creating new flavors she has yet to work with. I told her I had something delicious, described the flavors to her, and she was able to recreate it!! Imagine having tasty, beautiful cakes that not only feature new and creative flavors but also don't cost an arm and a leg. I almost want to gatekeep, but Kat deserves so much more and I hope more people can experience her magic. My all time favorite are the pumpkin spiced cupcakes with a special request of less sugar in the frosting. My sister and I look forward to it every year and the ratio of frosting to cupcakes is perfect. I can easily take on a dozen cupcakes for myself. Pro tip: order a couple extra dozen and freeze them for year round treats, because these are seasonal!!

Whenever a friend wants to meet up for coffee and a little conversation, this is one of the first places that comes to mind. I love introducing friends to this adorable neighborhood treasure and sharing a sweet treat while we catch up on life. It's not a place where you spend hours lounging over coffee, but rather a delightful little spot to enjoy a quiet moment, good company, and something delicious. And those vegan cupcakes? Absolutely heavenly! They're one of the reasons I keep coming back. If you're looking for a charming little bakery to satisfy your sweet tooth, I happily recommend giving Top Tier Treats a visit.

I provided a little dog figurine and they made it look like my dog ate out of the cake, how cute! Highly recommend Top Tier Treats!

Plus, the cake and frosting were perfection. The cake was really moist and delicate with subtle flavors. And the frosting floated on top with just the right amount of sweetness. (I really don't like overly sweet frosting, so this was great!). We added a dozen of rose-flavored macarons to the order, and they were a work of art! My kids looked at them and asked, "Can we eat them??" They were that pretty. Crunchy on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside. She even dressed them with gold spray for an added touch! They were incredible. The quality we got on this order was unforgettable. I'm telling all my friends about these wonderful treats. And the prices are very competitive, especially for LA. I've paid more money for cakes that weren't as good. We've found our family bakery and will be back again and again!

I was so excited when I stumbled upon 'Piece of Cake' and immediately connected to Maryn's story. THE CAKE was amazing - She helped me pick the flavors - Chocolate cake with peanut butter and nutella buttercream- is there a better combination?! Having tried many gluten free deserts in the past, I must say, my hopes were not too high... OH MY GOODNESS, the cake was so moist and rich, the buttercream was deeply flavorful and not too sweet- I made sure to sneak a piece away to take home and eat for breakfast the next day I am a home baker and am usually the birthday cake / treat girlie of my friends. Unfortunately due to compounding illness and disabilities, I have been unable to bake. My lack of stamina and mobility has taken away the joy that baking brought me. I didn't realize how important it was to me to find a down-home bakery until I ate Maryn's cake and watched it bring my friends together way they used to over my deserts. Even my skeptical non-gluten sensitive friends were going back for seconds. Protect this woman at all costs I can not wait to order again and support Maryn and her sweet legacy. *Sorry for the obscene cake topper :) that was not a Maryn addition, that was my dirty mind!*

The cake was gorgeous and full of thoughtful details I never would have thought to ask for, including a Phantom mask standing upright on top that stole the show. You could tell she put real care and imagination into every element! Pickup was effortless. Maryn came outside in her chef's cap and delivered the cake right to our window, and my daughter proudly drove home with it in her lap. It was such a sweet, personal touch. My daughter was thrilled with such an artistic cake, and so were all of our guests. The red velvet was moist and delicious, and it tasted as good as it looked. Maryn was a pleasure to work with, took our idea and made it even better, and truly brought her own vision to the design. If you want a custom cake that's a work of art, look no further. We'll be back for every future celebration. Highly recommend, Maryn!

Our guests were astonished; they took more photos with the cake than they did with yours truly. Our guest's jaws literally dropped, and throughout the evening they gushed that our cake was the most amazing wedding cake they had ever seen. It was out of control. When we approached Shakar Bakery we knew there was no guarantee that Shantal would take on our project. Several cake-makers turned us down out of fear of not being able to deliver the cake we envisioned, but Shantal was fearless and delivered beyond our expectations. Skill and talent aside, it was an absolute pleasure working with Shakar Bakery- she will amaze you. If you are looking for something unique and special chose Shakar Bakery.

From our initial inquiry through the follow-up that she did after the party, my wife, our guests and the birthday girls were completely in awe. Thank you Shantal for providing our niece with a memory she will cherish for a lifetime.

I have ordered cookies twice from Hilary, and was extremely happy both times…read more The first time was for my daughter's ninth birthday. When I picked up the cookies up, Hillary came out and brought them out to my car. They were so beautiful and perfectly done, I was actually worried that they weren't going to taste good. I was wrong, they were delicious and everybody who was at the party commented later on how good the cookies were and asked me where I got them. They come individually wrapped which is a big plus during the pandemic. The second time I ordered, was just a few days ago for Halloween. Again, the cookies were gorgeous and delicious. Hillary gave me a window of when I could come to pick them up, and she just came out to my car and hand-delivered them to me. She is delightful to talk to and easy to work with.
