    Cake was DELICIOUS! We were all pleasantly surprised and will be returning for future celebrations!
    Karlon Z.

    Avila's bakery saved the day! The only business that was responsive 2 weeks prior to the event date, and got exactly what I requested. Not only was the final product absolutely stunning, but the cake was DELICIOUS - soooo good! Astrid was also very sweet and very communicative. Because I'm in the area, this was a very convenient pick up that was reliable and easy. We will be back for future celebrations, thank you so much for your work!!!

    I would give Astrid a 10 if Yelp allowed it because her customer service and quality of her products are amazing! We called on a bit of short notice and she responded very quickly. She worked with me to find a great Harry Potter design and delivered exactly what we wanted. I know the design is one thing but you always wonder if the cake will taste as good as it looks and it was delicious. Moist and yummy. I asked for one layer of whipped cream and mango and another layer of Nutella and boy did she deliver! And her price.....for the craftsmanship and attention to detail she did and delivery.....could not be beat!!! I had another bakery from Berkeley quote $450 for the exact same cake then refused to do it on such short notice. Thank goodness or we would not have found this wonderful artist!' Astrid is now my " go to" for any event. My daughter's 30th birthday was a hit because of her! Thank you so much for all you do.

    Of course I do everything last minute. Smh I contacted Avila a week before my husband's birthday celebration luckily she had a opening to make my cake. I sent a few pictures of what I wanted well in the area of what I wanted and she delivered!!! She was so sweet and responded so quickly to every text message and call. Not only was the cake beautiful on the outside it was moist and flavorful on the inside, so much so that one of my guest asked for her information because in her words " this cake melts in your mouth" I wish I would of gotten a picture of the inside. I ordered strawberry and it was delicious. Avila your are officially my go to whenever I need a cake.

    The BEST birthday cake I've ever had! Astrid is amazing!! I sent her a photo idea from Pinterest and she was spot on with the results! She is super friendly & very responsive which I appreciate so much. The ordering process was very easy. I will definitely be ordering cakes from her in the future. Thank you so much again!!!

    I inquired about a two tier cake for my daughter 12th birthday! Was very indecisive on what the colors of the cake should be, let alone the theme of the cake. I showed her a picture of a cake to replicate and let me just say she did an AMAZING job! I love that she was able to get the same style of the table toppers of the original cake created! She also packaged the cake really well too! Thank you so much for creating a beautiful cake for my daughters birthday! She was absolutely in love just like I was!

    Amazing!! Astrid is an awesome baker! The designs were on point! The smash cake was so perfect! Definitely going to save her number for the next party!

    Really tried to refrain myself from posting negativity of this "baker" but she leaves me no choice due to her lack of professionalism and care for her customers. Had a two tier cake made for 3/22 by her. Picked up the cake at 11:00 and it came out great. Got home around 11:30-11:40 to load of up vehicles with the rest of the party stuff. By time we were done loading and left for the venue located in Oakley it was about 1:30. During the drive to Oakley from Antioch the cake completely collapsed. It was not driven with while on the freeway nor was I driving fast. I purposely made sure to drive accordingly. The cake clearly collapsed from poor structure and put together. It resulted in us having no cake for the birthday. I reached out and sent her a photo and she asked if I could bring the cake back for her to attempt to fix. Which made no sense because you can clearly see the cake was done and I did not have time as the party was to begin shortly for my two sons. She then said the cake should have been removed immediately from the car and I explained that it was only sitting because we were loading up for the party , it was cold outside with windows down and on a flat surface. When I finally got home after the party and settling down, I texted her explaining how upsetting and disappointing it was and if she could refund me the full amount or at least figure out something she thought was fair. I paid $180 and she never responded. I texted her again the following morning and again no response. She can care less about the satisfaction of her customers and only cares about her profit. She could care less to have return customers. Such a joke of a lady. So upset that this happened and I wasted $180.

    Another beautifully decorated cake and all of us enjoyed the taste!! My very picky (when it comes to custom cakes) friend will now call when she needs a cake! Outstanding service too.

Leading up to the wedding, we ordered several different things like Rice Krispies, sugar cookies & cupcakes. All really good! GinaMarie patiently listened to any feedback and make sure we felt comfortable eating everything. Day of the wedding, I was blown away by how pretty the cake was. It was exactly what I hoped for. Nobody could tell it was allergy friendly and many guests went for extra slices! I will absolutely be back in April for my birthday cake. We've had such a wonderful experience

It was a chocolate cake--moist, with delicious and creamy buttercream--and best of all, it was not overly sweet. We didn't even ask for it to be less sweet, so we were delightfully surprised that it wasn't overwhelmingly sugary. It had the level of sweetness you find in Japanese cakes, which I love. Our sons loved this cake so much that we now plan to order all of our special-occasion cakes from Z&H Cakes. Our youngest wants a construction-truck cake for his third birthday, and we're excited to see how it will turn out. We love everything about this cake and appreciate Z&H Cakes for their attention to detail. Second order: This is the second time we have ordered from Z&H Cakes, and they did not disappoint. We ordered cupcakes for the Rainbow Community Center of Contra Costa County's Grand Re-Inauguration Ceremony, and they were a big hit. People loved how beautiful they looked, but even more importantly, they loved how delicious the cupcakes tasted. They had just the perfect amount of sweetness and were enjoyed by everyone. Thank you for helping make our event so special with these beautifully delicious cupcakes.

    Wow wow wow!!! Mike's Pastry Shop is hands down one of the best hidden gems I've been to! I won't…read morelie, I was a bit unsure of what to expect because I did read the reviews beforehand but I went without expectations and I truly do not understand why this pastry shop is under a 4. Here's my play-by-play: Parking: the parking is ample here however it is a bit compact (NOT the bakery's fault!). I went in 3 times to ensure I tried a good amount before making my decision on top of trying their variety of pastries it was also to ensure how the service would be, honestly, every time I went in the atmosphere was very nonchalant. Since this is a local business they don't have that over-nice overwhelming energy you'd get at corporate stores. Which I am more than happy with, the three ladies that helped me with my selections also bake the pastries I believe so it was great knowing the lovely individuals who put passion into these pastries. Taste overall: When I tell you that everything I tried was absolutely delicious. The only note I have is that these are traditional pastries so they tend to have a slightly drier texture (bit the extremely gooey and super moist texture like in manufactured pastries) these are truly amazing paired with a coffee as they soak up coffee nicely. If you are a raspberry fan please GET ALL THE RASPBERRY pastries they have! The raspberry flavor is very natural and homemade . On top of that the cannolis...don't get me started, these are truly in my top 3 cannoli places. The shell, filling, and chocolate were perfectly balanced, no notes. Will be returning for the cannolis and raspberry pastries. Definitely a must have and I am very sad we do not have a Mike's Pastry Shop in the Central Valley.

This was the fresh whip cream with strawberries. When we opened the box two days later Sunday morning there was mold on the strawberries. When messaged the business, I was met with defensiveness as it were my fault the cake had mold. The bakery had a chance to make it right but instead, chose the position to state their cakes are made fresh and any mold would be the customers fault by not refrigerating the cake. Even went so far to say, it's not mold but looks like whip cream. That's completely inaccurate. If I were to make assumptions, this fresh cake was not made on the day I picked it up. Highly disappointed on my first purchase and I will never come back again.
