I ordered a cupcake pull apart Dinosaur cake for my sons 2nd birthday!…read more I sent a dinosaur image I got from Google and asked if they could add a party had with his age on it. I honestly wasn't expecting it to turn out this good but wow! The artwork with the buttercream nailed the original image. Flavors: I opted for 4 flavors cookies n' cream, funfetti, Vanilla strawberry filling and chocolate! The chocolate cupcake with the chocolate filling were to die for. Super rich! Will surely be ordering from this place again!

Service: 5 Placing order/inquiry was pretty easy. She is…read morevery responsive and handles short notice orders. I was looking for a cake less than a week from pick up. Sent in order/inquiry via email and she was able to communicate effectively all the details that needed to be addressed in the span of a few days. Cake quality: 4.5/5 I originally chose s'mores and guava but because I wasn't sure if two layers would be too much for 2 people serving, I decided with 1 layer and 1 flavor. S'mores flavor was a marshmallow delight, which included a marshmallows buttercream for frosting, chocolate flavor cake, and marshmallows and graham cracker center. I loved that the frosting and cake were not overly sweet but felt that there could've been a bit more graham cracker. Overall: would highly recommend! If you are looking for a fast turn around time, and solid in quality flavor and design, please consider paperrock fork bakery! Also, Cheers to Elmeisher--She really cares and aims to make every cake wonderful and her best work yet. Can't wait to try her bakery again :)

Picked up a birthday cake for my boss that a client ordered for him. It was a ginormous lemon cake…read morethat took us over a week to finish! Denise was very sweet! I called her ahead of time to make sure that the cake was ready to pick up, and since I was driving through traffic, unsure if I could make it before closing time, she totally understood. Once I picked up the cake, she instructed to me to let the cake thaw for at least 1 hour after taking it out of the fridge so that it will be soft and not crumbly. She also gave me advice on transporting it in my car. Max's Cakes is also an adorable bakery! All the Valentine's Day decorations were super cute! Very convenient location in downtown Hayward.

The cake was a Feroro rocher cake and it was delicious AF and so were the cake pops. Just look at the packaging. I mean it's so cute and pretty. I'm so glad I found this business. I'm hoping that I'll get to order more for more occasions. The service was clean and right on time. She is so available amidst her schedule. One thing I wish she had were cookies. Hopefully in the future.

I wanted to get a fancy cake for my mom's 70th birthday and Artbakeflora hit the nail on the head!!…read moreI sent in an inspiration photo and they replicated it exactly. The attention to detail, quality of ingredients, and professionalism were top notch. Everyone at my mom's party kept saying how pretty the cake was and how delicious it tasted! I ordered their strawberry cake and it had fresh strawberry jam (or preserves?) in it! So good. The cake was also carefully packaged which made it easy to transport. I even arrived an hour later than my designated pickup time due to traffic, but they reassured me it was not a problem. They were very communicative which eased my worries. I will definitely be ordering again! The baker (Nisha) is very talented and will exceed your expectations!!

I can't say enough great things about this bakery!

Not only did she deliver on time, but the cake was an absolute masterpiece. We ordered a vanilla cake with lemon curd filling and buttercream frosting, along with a dozen chocolate ganache cupcakes and a dozen lemon curd cupcakes. Everything was beautifully presented and tasted even better than it looked. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the flavors--every bite was delicious, and it really added a special touch to the party. You can tell there's a lot of care and talent behind every item. Thank you so much, Merav, for helping make the celebration so memorable. Highly recommend!

Today was a terrible day, I was upset and saw a booth for cupcakes at the Castro Valley Street…read moreEats. Just what I needed, something sweet. The booth was super cute and each cupcake was individually boxed. They also had French Vanilla and Maple Bacon cupcakes, red velvet cookies, apple pie (only $5) and caramel squares (yum!!). I choose the Mocha one and boy was I surprised... I swear, this cupcake is one of the best I've ever had. The frosting was light and not too sweet, the cake was light and fluffy (chocolatey flavor too). Right now, I'm sitting here wishing I had bought a dozen to eat all myself...to eat my sorrows out with this delicious goodness. Final Thoughts: Next time I have an event in need of a cake (or even a company party).... and maybe my future wedding, I will definitely be calling Desserts First!!

Maggie's Cakes are always amazing! They are delicious and artistically gorgeous…read more Maggie will listen to you, and thoroughly discuss with you your concept of the perfect cake you are hoping for! We've ordered three cakes, two adult birthday cakes, and one children's cake. Maggie uses fresh flowers to adorn her cakes, unless you request no flowers. Please look at her gallery of photos. My grandkids had a Ninja Turtle theme party, and my daughter requested a cake that looked like a pizza ( the only food Ninja Turtles eat!). The cake Maggie provided looked exactly like a pizza, and, cowabunga, it was so delicious! You can't go wrong with Maggie's Cakes!

It was also delicious without being overly sweet, just the right balance. The cake itself was moist and soft and the frosting was smooth, creamy, and complemented the cake perfectly.

If you enjoy cute character desserts, delicious drinks, and an overall cozy cafe experience, I…read morehighly recommend that you stop by Always Yours Bakery Cafe! Not only are you able to purchase from their bakery case, you can also request to have desserts made for special events! (In advance of course.) I very much enjoy their macarons and fresh fruit tarts. They also added Banana Matcha to their menu when it became a craze, and I 10/10 would recommend it. They use high quality matcha powder (Marukyu Koyamaen) for their drinks. This is one of the few things that drew me into their cafe. The baristas are extremely friendly and have a wonderful sense of humor, AND they support small businesses! While you wait for your order, you can browse their shelf full of crystal candies, matcha sets, candles, and they may also have Natsume matcha tins available! (This is not the matcha they use in their drinks, but it's nice to have other options available to buy.) ^^ So if you're in the East Bay and are looking for a business to support, go to Always Yours Bakery Cafe (they're also available on the Too Good To Go app)! They have beautiful outdoor seating available, as well as cutesy seating indoors. Not sponsored or anything, I just wanted to review one of my favourite cafes in Castro Valley. ^^
