Was suggested Cake Coquette for a friend's baby shower. Gabby was easy to work with and I sent her the size of the party and some inspiration. My friend loves the Hobbit and the baby shower also had bunny theme and Gabby knocked it out of the park. Everyone including the soon to be parents were so impressed with the cake's look. And it tasted great, we ordered the Lemon cake with lemon curd. Such a cute bunny hobbit house! read more

As a cake baker myself, I was really picky about who I would want to make my wedding cake. After trying three different bakers in the area, here are the reasons we are so glad we went with Cake Coquette: + BUTTERCREAM DREAM! I was adamant about NOT using fondant on my cake, but still having a beautiful cake. Their buttercream is not too sweet, and she was able to commit and deliver on complex piping that lasted for hours on our wedding day. + CUSTOM DESIGN. I had a very specific sketch I wanted, and Cake Coquette worked with us on making it come true. We also cut our cake with a sword (lol) so she understood that it needed to survive the cut. + FLAVOR OPTIONS. Of all the cake boxes we tried, they had the widest range to try, and they were all solid choices. + COOL STUDIO. If you get a chance, try to see their studio in SF. It's really beautiful, and they have display sizes of different cakes so you can get a sense of what you want. + PROFESSIONALISM. Timely responses, reasonable rates. + DELIVERY. Our venue was in the Santa Cruz area, farther from SF, through windy mountain roads. The cake made it perfectly. Thanks all for making my cake dreams come true! read more

I can't thank them enough. I reached out to them 3 days before the event and they were happy to accommodate my request. They even suggested me ideas to make the cake even more customizable. I loved how the cake turned out. It was the highlight of the party. My husband loved it. The taste was amazing! In my experience fondant cakes are more for seeing and not eating - the fondant tasted fresh and delicious. The kids loved it! The cake was fresh, spongy and delicious! I highly recommend them. read more

I emphatically recommend Gabby from Cake Coquette. Not only was our wedding cake absolutely stunning, but it was also one of the most delicious cakes we've ever had. From the cake tasting, Gabby was professional, creative, artistic, and truly passionate. I showed her a picture I found on Instagram, and she took our vision and turned it into a masterpiece. The flavors were outstanding--every guest raved about how flavorful the cake was. The attention to detail, from the intricate design to the flawless execution, was simply breathtaking. Gabby went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, and we couldn't be happier. Thank you! read more

I asked Gabby at Cake Coquette to design a two-tier Frozen-themed cake for a 5-year-old girl's birthday party. I emailed her some samples that I found online. And she did not disappoint! The cake was a huge hit at the party. We chose Devil's food chocolate cake with coconut cream and chocolate ganache, and the outside was fondant. I highly recommend this bakery for custom cakes. read more

And all of the cakes tasted amazing! read more

The best. We got our wedding cake here and have gotten every cake from here since. Whether it's a birthday, bridal shower, baby shower, or gender reveal, the cake comes from here. The baker here, Gabby, is incredibly talented, friendly, and creative. I used to have zero interests in cakes. My wife used to handle all of our cakes for events. But for our wedding I wanted to be involved. We were shopping for cakes for our wedding and that was finally a time I wanted to have a say on our cake. The baker had us over for a cake testing and every single piece we tried was delicious. We knew then we had found our cake. AND THEN we started talking about the design and things got even more exciting. This is when I became invested. We looked at pictures of cakes she had done in the past and they were all inspiring. We went with the raspberry chocolate cake and I still think of it today. Safe to say our cake was one of the stars of our wedding. I believe she took care of delivering our cake to the venue as well. 5 months after our wedding it was my birthday and I wanted something special. My wife knows I love Jordan sneakers so she surprised me with a cake in the shape of an Air Jordan 1 in the traditional white/black/red color!! It was the coolest cake I've ever seen. Everyone was talking about it. Design: she can do anything! Taste: we've had the raspberry chocolate cake every single time. It's unique. It's yummy. You'll have the leftovers for dinner and won't be able to wait! Communication: Gabby is fast. And it's much appreciated. read more

Cake Coquette - Birthday cake - Bakeries Near Me - San Francisco, California

For my wedding, I had a concept but not a lot of inspiration pictures (surprisingly, I didn't think it was that unique of a concept) in that I wanted to do cupcakes of animals that mate for life. I also needed a mix of regular cupcakes, gluten-free (my now-husband is extremely allergic) and vegan (bc this is the bay area...). I loved working with Gabby because she didn't scoff at my idea and really made it come to life, even when I asked last minute "and can all the pairs be different, like some boy-girl, and some same sex?". The cupcakes were adorable and so well done but also DELICIOUS. Like someone accidentally ate our lovebirds and so we settled for a gluten-free owl and I was so blown away from the first bite I wasn't even upset over the lovebirds. I also ate the vegan and regular cupcakes and had a similar reaction. I didn't think I'd want to deal with leftovers, but the leftover cupcakes I happily took home. I highly recommend Gabby for special occasion baking needs!! read more

Gabby did it again! An amazing job for my mother's 90th birthday and she made it happen after I called her only the week before. I only told her the colors I wanted and she created this beauty! Also, the chocolate cake was very fresh and the cream cheese filling was a wonderful alternative to the usual buttercream. Thank you so much, Gabby! your cakes are wonderful! read more

Cake Coquette - Beautiful & Yummy at the same time! - Bakeries Near Me - San Francisco, California

We hired Gabrielle to make our wedding cake and cupcakes. I am gluten-free and dairy-free and really wanted to have a wedding cake that I could actually eat and she absolutely delivered! The cake was a lemon cake with a delicious "butter-y" lemon frosting. I wanted the cake itself to have dried flowers on it and she went above and beyond to collect flowers, press and dry them, and arranged them on the cake. She was also just so delightful to work with. Now I need to come up with another reason to order a cake! Thank you Gabrielle :) read more

Needed a last minute custom cake for our "What will baby bee" bee themed gender reveal and Gabrielle delivered! Showed her a pinterest photo and was shocked how she absolutely nailed it. Everyone raved how cute it was! Dinged 1/2 star for pricing as it was $250 for a 9" cake. Pretty hefty compared to others but I went for it because it was my fault thinking ordering 2 weeks ahead of time was sufficient enough. For the amount of attention to detail, I can understand why though. Dinged another 1/2 star only because I prefer the softer, lighter cakes, but hers was more dense. Got the chocolate with mocha fudge that had the perfect amount of sweetness. Easy to order, quick to reply, received on time. What more can you ask for, thank you! read more

Beautiful wedding cake and great execution! I sent her an inspiration photo, and she really delivered on that vision. I would highly recommend doing a tasting box so you can try all of her innovative flavors. We ended up going with the buttermilk vanilla cake with raspberry filling and cream cheese, and the devil's food chocolate cake & ganache with raspberry filling -- both were excellent! read more

Gabby did a wonderful job making cake for our wedding. When we first met up, we were able to try small samples of cake, which all were pretty tasty but we ended up going with a vanilla cake with cream cheese filling and strawberry and passionfruit flavour. She was super fun to talk to and was able to easily make a sketch to turn our vague cake ideas into something tangible. She was also able to add a dozen vegan cupcakes for our vegan guests. Everything turned out amazing! My only regret is that I wasn't really able to have some of the cake on my wedding day. Needless to say, I'm looking forward to eating the cake saved for our 1st anniversary! If you're looking for a baker for your wedding in the Bay Area, look no further. read more

10/10 experience, Gabrielle was exceptionally responsive and helpful during the entire process and the cake made a great centerpiece!

All our guests enjoyed the cake no complaints. Thank you for a job well done! read more

All I can say is Wow. When planning a wedding what you really need is someone who listens and follow through, without meeting more than once or twice if that's what you're looking for this is the place to be. She listened, followed through with exactly what was requested. The service was wonderful. The cake was beautiful and let's not talk about the taste the taste was delicious. It's been a whole year. It took that long to recoup, but we will never forget this cake. It was so beautiful and delicious. We can't thank you enough.. Thank you. read more

We are so sad to write this review because we really like Gabby when we first visited her for a cake tasting. However, I am so disappointed with the lack of communication on details and her own decision making approach for our once in a lifetime wedding cake. Two stars because Gabby is sweet and the cake flavors were delicious, and she offered a partial refund. We took away three stars because she made her own "judgement call" on how our cake should look like without asking us any questions or communicating any details to us. I could not give Cake Coquette five stars after I almost DIED when I saw our wedding cake for the first time at our traditional Military and Fairytale wedding. I am all about details. Details are especially important to a bride who is extremely meticulous and CLEAR with her expectations. My close friends immediately knew how I would feel after they saw the styrofoam cake topper and told me to look away - yes, they knew how upset I'd be because there was barely any work done to the cake topper that was supposed to be custom made. The styrofoam castle that WE purchased and provided to Gabby was difficult to look at on our wedding because it was worse than looking at a castle cake topper for a fairytale princess birthday party for a one year old -- this was our first and only WEDDING! I could've decorated it better; in hindsight, I wish the company we order the cake topper from shipped the castle topper to us directly so we could've decorated it and then provided it to Gabby because she obviously thought leaving it styrofoam for a black tie wedding was fine. We had no idea our cake would have a styrofoam castle on top that wouldn't be decorated - why was this NEVER communicated to us until AFTER our black tie wedding? We emailed Gabby the day after our wedding asking why a picture was never sent or even a single description via email of what our cake would look like (whatever happened to communication?!). Why was the castle topper NOT decorated and left as STYROFOAM? Yes, can you believe it?! A STYROFOAM (literally) castle on top of an elegant wedding cake at a Black Tie wedding with military officers and the most important people in our lives gathered together?????? Ugh, we were so upset! Gabby's response was: "...we did make a judgment call on the walls of the castle based on budget, as they would have had to be completely recovered in a fondant redesign of the topper in order to change the texture, a several hour process in itself. We did use a shiny white dust on the walls, which had the same look as the styrofoam itself." "Judgement call" on OUR wedding cake?! We will pay you ANYTHING and EVERYTHING to have made our castle cake topper look ANYTHING OTHER THAN STYROFOAM. This castle cake topper "budget" and details were never discussed with us. We only discussed the cake layers and delicious flavors. My heart breaks that we put so much effort in researching a castle cake, purchasing a $70 castle plan white styrofoam castle topper, purchasing a $300 gold cake stand, and putting time into meeting with Gabby for a cake that looked like it had a styrofoam cake topper straight from the craft store. We asked why didn't she send a picture before our wedding, and her response was: "As a general policy, we never send pictures out before delivery of a cake." I was livid. I stepped away from writing any reviews from my wedding day for five years - just to let that emotional side of me to pass by. I am still really upset after five years with this experience. We paid so much for a wedding cake that we wouldn't ever have approved of if we knew that the cake topper would look like styrofoam. Our photographer got some good shots of us and the cake from far, far, far away so the styrofoam did not show up in the pictures. Unfortunately, our castle cake topper was "good from far, far from good." Five stars for the taste (delicious) and five stars for being a sweet person when we met you, but the lack of communication for details is what makes me give the fair rating of two stars overall. We really wish Gabby had gone through the details with us before moving forward with any detail that was made for our wedding cake. read more

AMAAAZZZING! From the very beginning, Gaby was very responsive to all my emails and communication was excellent. The tasting was easy and yummy, with so many flavors! We reviewed several different designs and she created exactly what I was looking for. She delivered on time, and the set up and execution were flawless. The cake was beautiful and it was just as delicious. Definitely, my go-to for any custom cakes from now on. read more

Though it was a tough decision in the first place deciding which vendor to use for our wedding cake, what we really liked about Gabby was 1) the flavors, and 2) her creativity: with some sample photos & a description that we came with, she sketched her version of what she would make live while we waited. The pricing was reasonable, and she was fast with responses to the few questions we posed in the intervening months between contract & wedding day... And then when she delivered the cake on our wedding day, it was absolutely perfect! We were impressed, many of our guests commented on it as well, and it tasted exactly as we wanted. Our only regret was that somehow in the chaos of the evening, it didn't get communicated to the caterer that we wanted to keep some to take home, as our only taste of it that night was during the cake cutting ceremony. I guess we'll have to engage her again for an anniversary cake! read more

Gabby is an incredible artist and her team was great to work with. We had our wedding in May 2019 (so a review was long overdue!!) but just wanted to make a quick post because memories of the cake is still something I fawn over. Everything about the process was so smooth. We had a neat tasting and design session and the final product turned out exactly as we hoped it would. (Gorgeous and delicious!!! Vanillla with salted caramel and toffee) Delivery of the cake was excellent also. They got to the venue and set up before I even arrived! And it held up the whole time (8 or 9 hours?) looking pristine. Great experience and so happy to have worked with them for such a special occasion! read more

This is a long overdue review. Gabby made a wedding cake for us last year in Thanksgiving weekend. There was a mix-up and the cake arrived late. I was on pins and needles waiting for the cake. All my anxiety dissappated when it arrived and it was exactly what I wanted. The cake was beautiful---so elegant decorated with fresh flowers. We chose the red velvet cake. It was moist, flavorful, and sooo delicious. Everyone commented on how the cake was so moist and tasty, without being overly sweet. This year, Gabby gifted us a small red velvet cake in November because of our cake arriving late last year. That was really sweet and I appreciated her thoughtfulness. The cake was just as moist and flavorful as the wedding cake last year. We enjoyed it so much that our family decided that Gabby's red velvet cake will be an annual tradition. Thanks so much, Gabby! read more

I'm not sure where to start. Gabby was absolutely awesome to work with for our wedding cake. She was responsive and listened to all of the various details we wanted in our cake. We sent a couple pictures of idea and she was able to mesh them all together into a beautiful masterpiece. We did a tasting of 9 different flavors and each one of them were so yummy it was hard to choose! Overall, had such a great experience with Gabby and would highly recommend her to anyone! read more

I was a little early booking my wedding cake (11 months) but Gabby and her team were so accommodating. I met with her in person once to go over my ideas for our cake and to do the cake tasting. I changed my mind a lot in terms of the design and felt bad but Gabby and her team were nothing short of friendly and helpful. They really do want you to have the cake of your dreams! I couldn't have imagined it turning out any better. We picked the hazelnut chocolate cake with rum and then the classic vanilla with amaretto soaked cake. Since we had children at our reception we asked for the top tier to be no alcohol and to have funfetti cake. My only regret is not being able to have each of the flavors at our wedding (we were so busy!). The bites that we did have of the classic white were moist, flavorful, and effing delicious! I can't wait for our anniversary when we return to SF; we will have to order our cake again! read more

I threw a 50th birthday bash for my wife at a venue in SF that has art deco vibes. My wife's Chinese zodiac sign is the tiger, so there was a tiger theme element to the party. I reached out to Gabby at Cake Coquette, and ordered a 3 tier cake. I informed Gabby about the tiger theme and she asked me about the venue. Within a few days she sent me a sketch of a cake that incorporated both the tiger theme and the art deco vibes of the venue. The end result was a beautiful and delicious red velvet cake! The cake was absolutely stunning and perfectly complimented the party themes. Beyond all expectations. My wife loved the cake and we received compliments on the cake all night. The compliments continued the following evening when we had some family over to finish the leftover red velvet cake. It was so good. Cake Coquette is now my go to cake bakery in SF. Thank you Gabby and Cake Coquette !!! read more

So glad I chose Gabby to create a cake for my baby shower! I sent her an email with a example of what I wanted for the nautical theme and she said she would modify the design to fit within my budget. I was expecting something way less elaborate than the photo I sent her but it turned out to be exactly how I had wanted it! Not only was it beautiful, it was moist and the vanilla with raspberry and strawberry filling was well-balanced, fresh, and not too sweet. My guests raved about it and kept asking where the cake was from and did not hesitate to take all of the leftovers home with them! Majority of the time bakeries put so much time and effort on the outside of the cake, the inside and the taste gets compromised, but not with my cake! She offers delivery service for a fee but I opted to pick the cake up myself at no charge and she was communicative and made it a breeze. Will definitely order my next cake from her! Worth every penny! read more

I reached out to Gabby (2.5 weeks before my mother-in-law's birthday celebration) to order a cake. Gabby was super accommodating and answered all of my questions. I chose a citrus buttermilk cake with citrus cream filling and lemon curd. I told her that my mother-in-law loves jade and pearl jewelry along with what type of flowers she likes. Gabby was able to incorporate the pale mint green theme/jade along with adding my mother-in-law's favorite flowers into the cake design. She created this most beautiful mint green/jade marbling in the fondant and added specks of edible gold flakes. She even delivered the cake to the restaurant before the scheduled dinner and had them refrigerate it until the party began. My mother-in-law absolutely loved how beautiful her cake was and loved how it taste! I can't thank Gabby enough for such a beautiful cake! read more
