Cake is amazing. They did our wedding cake years ago and continued to do our important celebrations throughout our lives. They always come through every time with ideas, on time, even delivery which helps when you're planning your event. Makes it so much easier and one less thing off your plate to worry about. Every time we get a cake from here people's face are just shocked when they walk in and see it. It's priceless. And the cake doesn't just look amazing, also tastes great! Our favorite is vanilla with strawberry. So light. read more

CAKE did an amazing job for creating a Star Wars birthday cake! I contacted them via email and they responded very quickly. I described what I envisioned for the cake design. They helped me and asked me to send photos and even offered to add a Yoda figure on jt. Yoda was crafted with excellence and stays true to the actual Yoda. He even had star shaped eyes which I thought was a nice touch. What an amazing job! They gave me a choice between the Yoda or a Jedi. The cake turned out even better than the photo I shared with them. I showed up to pick up the cake and the lady greeted me right away and handed me the cake. She even offered to walk it to my car. The cake was enough to feed at least 20 people (probably even more) and cost $200 ($10 per person per slice). CAKE definitely has great cake design skills and the flavor was delicious! I got marble flavor with vanilla buttercream and added fresh strawberries. Would certainly come here again for a great cake design and amazing tasting cake! My bday party guests also enjoyed the cake. Thank YOU CAKE! read more

This review is a little late, but I was reminiscing with my husband about our wedding anniversary coming up, and realized I needed to give praise to this amazing bakery. To begin this review, I need to mention that initially, I did not want a cake at all. We had plans for a very non-traditional wedding and I'm not a huge dessert person. When I do eat sweets, cake and pastry are not my first choice. However, after not being able to decide on a dessert option, I decided to get a cake, if even just for my guests. We also were coming from out of state and tasting was not really an option, so costumer service was very crucial in this situation. Because I'm not a cake person, I was picky. I had eaten pistachio cake that I had really enjoyed from a deli that catered a reception I went to years prior, and I initially tried to get a cake there, but it was too difficult to coordinate. Not many other bakeries in the area offered pistachio as a flavor, but upon my search, I stumbled upon CAKE. They responded to my inquiry almost immediately and asked a lot of detailed questions of what I was looking for in flavor and decor. This gave me ease, as I was not going to see or taste my cake until the day of the wedding. I chose espresso filling, because my husband loves espresso and I had already chosen the cake flavor. Our colors were emerald and charcoal, so the flavors even fit with the wedding palette. I had asked for green palm leaves and black fondant to match our wedding theme. Once I saw the cake, it was exactly what I had imagined. I could not wait to taste it, and once I had, it was even better than I had imagined! There was no synthetic taste at all to the cake, and the espresso filling was a perfect balance of sweet and bitter to the nutty flavor of the pistachio. Though the wedding itself was perfect, guests were raving about the cake, (that I initially never wanted) and it made me so happy! Even months later, I was asked how the flavors came together so well and how I found the bakery. As someone who does not eat cake, I must say that I absolutely adored this one. If ever I need a celebratory cake again, I will be getting it from The Fabulous Cake Girls! ***Note: having a non-traditional wedding, we opted for a Polaroid camera for guest use in lieu of hiring a photographer, so attached are some photos taken by guests with photos of decor for reference! read more

Pros: * Amazing cake; you can tell it is made from scratch; Recommend the Toasted coconut cake, chocolate cake, and the chocolate truffle filling. * Great price for cake tasting - $25 for 7 flavors; everything was labeled and easy to understand Cons: * Disorganized; did not give us half our order and did not have our order ready when we went to pick it up later - I did not feel that I could trust them to have our actual cake ready * Pricey dessert tasting - $25 for 6 desserts. We ended up with 10 desserts, but only 4 types, so I am not sure if they gave us extra or gave us less. * Did not ask us if we had dessert requests and ended up with 4 macarons. I don't care for macarons, so it felt like a waste. * Terrible tarts; this was disappointing since it was the one dessert I was looking for Extra: * The cake was so good that I would order for a not as important event. Something that is casual and doesn't have a timeline. read more

Used Cake for our wedding cake and can't say enough good things. My husband knew he wanted a carrot cake, and Jen generously let us sample just that free of charge... twice! Set up and delivery went smoothly on wedding day, and most importantly our guests raved about the cake!!! We will certainly be using for all future special occasions read more

Great Service quick turnaround And best cake ever can't wait to go back delicious and yummy read more

While the cake looked lovely for our wedding, we were not impressed with any of the flavors and were extremely disappointed with how DRY the actual cake was. It was dry for the tasting and dry the wedding day of as if it were sitting in a fridge for too long. We asked our guests for their thoughts and most of them shared similar opinions and thought the actual cake was "just okay" and dry. We ended up throwing out our topper without touching it as neither of us wanted to eat the cake when it was fresh let alone the next day or a year later. Such a waste... If we're spending hundreds on a wedding cake it better taste and hold up better than anything made from home (this one definitely did not). Unfortunately our venue would not let us choose our cake vendor so we had no choice otherwise we would have gone with another cake or cake-like vendor after the tasting. read more

We had two cakes made for my son's 1st birthday. It was basketball/nike theme and both cakes turned out AMAZING! Per usual, we ordered our favorite Banana Truffle flavor. The guests loved it & we loved it! ALWAYS A HIT with the cakes we get made here! Will always be our go-to cake shop! read more

I ordered cake for my son's birthday and it looked nothing close to the picture we had shared and agreed on. It was super disappointing & the cake was so dry that while cutting the cake everything was falling apart. The outer layer separated from the cake completely. It was so embarrassing. Also to confirm the cake it took 19 emails to get a confirmation and it was not worth it. I do not recommend this business. read more

This company is extremely unprofessional...I and their word can NOT be trusted ! I emailed twice then walked into the bakery directly to see if they would be able to create a custom cake I was advised to email the owner with details and that the date of June 14th was available and they would be able to accommodate. I emailed the owner and received no response so I called and spoke to the owner who reassured me that the date was available to meet my request and that someone would be in touch with a quote. I received an email with a quote then a few days later and then another email saying they can't make the cake because they are busy. Super disappointed because I stopped looking for a baker because I trusted their word. Now I have 13 days to try to find a baker to create my cake. I AM LIVID! read more

The truffle banana and passion fruit cakes were delicious. The buttercream frosting with chocolate roses were beautiful with modern elegance. They delivered on time and were very easy to work with. We added faux tiers, added decor, Jen answered questions quickly about dimensions for getting a cake stand and various options throughout our planning process. Very easy to work with and great product and service! read more

The Fabulous Cake Girls were amazing!!! The banana chocolate truffe was to die for!!! I couldn't stop talking about the cake and still to this day want more. Communication was great, they exceeded the design I wanted and the cake was so delicious and moist. They also had no problem adding the gold details we requested. Being a destination wedding, I was happy that we went to get a sample box because our original cake flavors we were thinking of getting were not our final choices after tasting the samples. Thank you ladies for a beautiful cake, hopefully soon I can get my hands on another slice of banana chocolate truffle yummmm. Love Lindsey and Amber read more

The bakery and cake were amazing! Our wedding guests could not stop complimenting us on the cake all night! Red velvet, espresso/tiramisu, and chocolate with ganache.

Went with this bakery for my wedding as they were contracted with my wedding venue. I picked up a cake tasting box which had about 8 different cakes inside to try. Although I am not a fan of carrot cake, I actually thought that one tasted the best and was the most moist of all the flavors. The rest of the flavors in the cake box didn't taste fresh in my opinion, but I figured since the box was frozen and then thawed, it will be fresh on our wedding day. We ended up going with red velvet with cream cheese frosting and vanilla cake with berries and lemon buttercream. On wedding day, the cake looked really nice. I wasn't there for delivery, but it seemed to have gone smoothly. When it was finally cake cutting time, I found the cake a bit hard to cut into; not sure if this is usually the case as it's the first time I've ever cut into a wedding cake. I only had 1-2 bites of each flavor of cake on our wedding day, and to be honest, they didn't taste as moist as I would have liked. They also tasted overly cold, like the cake was refrigerated ahead of time or something. Not terrible, just not my favorite. The next day when we picked up our top layer from the hotel, we realized that the cake had been left outside all night (not the fault of this company). So we didn't have the option of saving the top layer. When we got home, we decided to have a few bites since we would not be saving it. Again, not as moist as I would have liked for our wedding cake and a bit overly sweet in my opinion. read more

We ordered cake for our son's 2 year b'day party. The cake tasted stale and was not moist. Most of the cake ended up in trash as no one would eat it. The reason I am giving 2 stars and not 1 is because of presentation and the cake came exactly how we gave the picture, in fact better than picture. I ordered a cake in 2015 from here and that was the best cake I ever had, on a contrary this time was the worst cake in taste and freshness I ever had read more

Beautiful AND tasted amazing!!! Yes more, please! thank you so much for your professionalism and artistry.

I was kind of nervous leaving the cake tasting because I didn't love any of the flavors, and it just wasn't what I was expecting from a cake tasting. However, they were really nice and honestly, we figured no one really eats wedding cake anyway. At least I don't, but our cake turned out phenomenally! We chose the coconut with passionfruit icing and it stayed SO moist. So many people came up to me at the wedding and told me how much they liked it. My favorite part was that the frosting wasn't super sweet like most cakes. It just felt rich and buttery. We had some the next day and it was still amazing. We unfortunately live out of state so we gave the rest to my parents, and it made me a little sad. They totally came through. read more

I have a big event and called to see if they can accommodate a rather custom and challenging design. The owner asked what it was and from a picture, said it was no problem. She set up a tasting that was spot on! Just that alone I would give 5 stars, since the attention to detail for just a tasting went above and beyond. Not to mention that the cakes are all delicious. I recommend the carrot cake...amazing! Staff very nice and professional. read more

Where do I begin? Well, I guess I can start by saying how grateful I am to have found the Fabulous Cake Girls. Don't be afraid to dream big with this team. Jen and Kim are visionaries and working with them on the design and flavors of our wedding cake was one of my favorite parts of planning because it was such a breeze. They offer a variety of delicious flavors, and they're even willing to work with you on custom ones! We had a custom pineapple upside-down flavor with butterscotch and custard for one of our layers and it was to die! My wedding was almost a month ago and I'm still getting comments about how lovely (and delicious) our cake was. Jen and Kim are meticulous about their designs, but most importantly, don't let their celebrity status on the Food Network make you think they're pretentious because it's the opposite; they are down to earth and a pleasure to work with. As I waited in the back of the venue to walk down the aisle, I noticed them adding the final floral touches to our cake and they did it so elegantly and with ease, amid the commotion of the day. I would chose Fab Cakes over any other bakery in San Diego in ten lifetimes for all special occasions. My husband and I couldn't have been happier, and I know you will be too. read more

Let me save you trying multiple cake boxes--this is the best cake in San Diego! I am so happy that I'm local and hopefully will get to enjoy their cakes for years to come. We decided on a vanilla cake with a passion fruit buttercream. So many of our guests commented how great the cake was. And the presentation was straight out of Pinterest! We opted for a tiered cake and another sheet cake and it worked out wonderfully. Also, since the two cakes were manageable in size, we didn't need to have them delivered. read more

Jennifer and the fabulous cake girls are LEGIT! No other reason they'd win "Cake Wars" multiple years in a row unless they are the best in not just San Diego but in the nation! My husband and I married abroad and had our deferred reception party back in San Diego to celebrate with our loved ones. We needed a wedding cake for our party. We tasted cakes from a couple of other bakeries around San Diego but after meeting with the girls at CAKE we decided right then and there to have them make our wedding cake. I brought in a picture from pinterest for inspiration and they said the could do it! I really loved how they don't use fondant and everything is edible. Our cake had intricate gold details and it was all edible! Our guests kept asking where we had our cake made since it was so beautiful as well as delicious! If you need a beautiful cake for your wedding and have a design in mind, seems as though nothing is off limits. These girls work their magic. Highly, HIGHLY recommend! read more

First, I would like to apologize for waiting this long to yelp about such a great experience. In Sept 2016 My husband and I had a dream cake in mind and visited several bakeries but they just did not see the vision. We went to CAKE and told them what we were looking for and the produced the most amazing, beautiful cake ever! My # one request was that I have champagne grapes and no other bakers could find them, they did. They put in a special order with a local grocer and made it happen as if it was nothing. To this day, my guest talk about how our Cale was the best tasting cake they have ever had. Just recently we went back to order a cake and there was a very minor misunderstanding with one of the staff and the owner reached out to me directly and apologized. We did order a new cake and it was even better than I remember. The cake is so light and fresh; it was amazing. Thank you CAKE for making my dream wedding cake! read more

Reason for one star rating: We completed our tasting and selection of our cake a year ago. Day of the wedding arrives and there's no cake. Come to find out they do not have an order for our cake, a cake was rushed over and in time for our cake cutting. After our wedding, we started the follow up process and were told it was our responsibility to complete the order electronically (which was never explained or else it would have been completed a YEAR AGO when we called to confirm our selection). The bakery alleged they called us and left us SEVERAL voicemails, which was simply not true. We were on top of our wedding planning and in constant communication with all of our vendors. There was zero ownership or responsibility taken by the bakery, the impression was that we should have been happy there was a cake at all despite it not being what we had selected. It's important to note that the cake provides was tasteless and seemed to be an old cake. Despite it being one of the happiest day of our lives, this process definitely left a sour taste in our mouth. Literally. read more
