The food, decor , service and expertise of Melinda and her entire team is impeccable. We've worked with her for years on larger scale events and we've never been disappointed. Her years of experience clearly pays off and her clients are treated with utmost courtesy! read more

This is my family's favorite cupcake shop. Delicious cupcakes and cookies. The old fashion sugar cookie is the best I've ever had. The cupcakes are moist and have good frosting. I've never had one of their bigger cakes before, but judging from their cupcakes I'm sure it would be both delicious and beautiful. read more

CAKEgoodness - Picture perfect dessert table! Loved everything!! - Desserts Near Me - Newhall, California

Best Cupcakes, best wedding cakes (my wife and I have now used Cake Goodness for both). It's pricey but worth it (this is not a Portos or Costco cake, their cakes are works of art). My (then fiance') and I went to several places and we had an exact idea of what we wanted. Everyone we talked to either said "no, you can't really do that" or frowned and explained that it was going to be a problem. The only one willing to put in a bid took nearly a week to give us a price and said "not really 100% sure I can guarantee how this is going to turn out." We finally went in to Cake Goodness. The lady who runs the place sat down with us and just kept telling us how she would accomplish it. She then pulled out a sketch pad and sketched what we wanted and adjusted the sketch based on our comments. She then gave us a price. She then made the cake and it was an amazing PIRATE SHIP CAKE. This cake was black and white with a pirate ship sketched onto the side of its four tiers, with black and burgandy feathers and flowers. It was WICKED. Our florist also made a comment that she would like to know who the cake artisan was as she was very impressed with how professional and easy she was to work with when they were setting up the cake and flowers together. You will pay a bit more, you will get way way more. If it has to be amazing, then Cake Goodness. If it just has to be a generic wedding cake, not the place for that. read more

CAKEgoodness - not best photo of it, but pirate cake with black and burgandy flowers and black feathers, made to our specific order, awesome. - Desserts Near Me - Newhall, California

We tried 4 cupcakes, and they were all winners! Triple chocolate, red velvet, birthday, and cinnamon crunch -- all moist cake with decadent, flavorful frostings -- beautifully presented. Reasonably priced at $3 each. Minus 2 stars for the lackluster clerk. On Sat 3/24/18 mid-afternoon, we ate in the store. It was our 1st time and we were considering taking away a larger order for a party later in the day. The clerk was indifferent, clearly more interested in her cell phone than in us, or 2 other pick up orders. She wasn't rude, but simply showed zero interest. As a result, we ordered zero more cupcakes. read more

I ordered a traditional tiered cake and dessert table for my wedding about that took place about 4 weeks ago. I sat with Melinda in her shop and she drew up a sketch of what everything would look like, gave helpful suggestions when needed, and sent me home that day with some various goodies to taste the different flavors she offered, all before I even committed to anything. Everything tasted so good that day, and on the actual wedding day months later. My guests probably talk most about how good the dessert table was, specifically those cake pops. Highly recommend!! read more

I loved the cake that Melinda made for my daughter. My daughter and her friends were amazed by it, and most importantly it tasted great. She delivered on time and I didnt have to worry about it. I will be ordering from her again. read more

They are detailed oriented and talented! read more

Terrible customer service. Repetitive emails, messages, and phone calls and still nothing. My wife contacted them to make me a cake, just needed them to quote her, she was 100% ready to pull the trigger but they never got back to her after the first few messages. I guess our money isn't good enough for them ? Luckily my wife was able to find somebody to make the cake she wanted just days before my birthday. read more

The first time I came here was for my nephew's 16th birthday cake. We had a meeting and they were so helpful with forming our ideas into a cake. They even had some of their own ideas and offered some advice. Their cupcakes are amazing and the cookies are addicting. So of course we came back for my nephew's 18th birthday cake. And we didn't really have an idea, but of course they helped us along the way. The prices are reasonable. And the staff is friendly. Also, I really like the decor inside. read more

We drove all the way from Thousand Oaks because we heard your cakepops where amazing. My daughter 2 years old really needed to use the bathroom they wouldn't let her use the bathroom. She peed her pants!!! Really people I don't care how good your cupcakes are your customer service sucks never coming back to this place!!! Yes your cakepops are good. Your CUSTOMER SERVICE sucks very rude after driving over a hour and you are extremely over priced! read more

I went to Cake Goodness on Aug 5th (a Friday)... tasted cakes for my upcoming wedding - loved them all! That's where the "goodness" ended. I was promised a sample invoice by the next Tuesday - I wanted to book them for the wedding! NO invoice. I called by the end of that week. Voice mail full. I then went on their website to submit an email to them. NO response. I called again the following week and actually talked to someone and got the feeling they had no idea who I was, but explained that their invoice person/secretary (whatever) was a bit behind and I would have it within the following week. The following week... NO invoice. I called again and was actually able to leave a voice mail. NO call back to date. NO invoice to date. I'm so happy I didn't book them for my wedding! Overall the cake is good but if they can't even return an email and several phone calls, I wouldn't trust them with my wedding cake. read more

We had our wedding cake done here and it was simple and beautiful...our first experience was great! We have ordered cakes here since then from birthdays, graduations,and baby showers all ranging between $450-$850 (not cheap) the last cake we ordered was a special order...a Harry Potter castle! We have never question Melinda's prices or her vision for our orders she had our complete trust! When our last cake was delivered ($850.00) cake....we thought it would be this huge castle! Instead we got a 10inch cake with Rice crispy in some places instead of cake as was not discuss with us that she had to use rice crispy because of the design... We were to say the least VERY Disappointed!!! We called the store and made an appointment to speak to Melinda about what our concerns were....She basically said "This is my lively hood and I put my soul in making this cake, I can refund you $50.00 for using rice crispy and not cake but that's all I'm able to do".. Really??!!! After buying more than 5 cakes from her and being a good customer for the past 2yrs that's all you are able to do??? We had a wedding order for this Halloween and to that order; she said, "I think you would be happier if you go somewhere else." WOW!! Not very good customer service.. She won't stay in Business with that kind of attitude towards paying customers which GIVES her her livelihood ... We did get our deposit back and now we are taking our service elsewhere!!! read more

After experiencing a couple of disappointing cupcake shops in the SCV, I was a little bit leery of trying one more. I came here because at least the baker/owner had some street cred. A former baker to the stars in Central California, I figured maybe, just maybe this place would be different. Turns out, it is. It's not a true cupcake place. They do regular cakes and even some unique cookies. There aren't that many cupcakes varieties on the menu by comparison to the other ones. But oh, what cakes. I split a couple on Valentine's Day with my girlfriend and we first tried the Red Velvet Cake Pop shaped like a pink heart for Valentine's. Too cute to pass up. When we split it in half, at first it looked too chocolaty to be Red Velvet but it wasn't that chocolaty and probably more red velvet like, minus the cream cheese frosting. The cupcake we tried was a Party Time cupcake which was a vanilla cake with vanilla and white chocolate buttercream. I was a little hesitant to purchase this since my girlfriend dislikes white chocolate. But there wasn't much except on the sides. So I took a gamble on it. Good call, the cake was moist and the frosting? Addictive. The cakes themselves were packaged in a beautiful white bag with purple parchment paper inside of it. Luxurious! The only bad thing was how the packaged it. The cake pop was fine but the cupcake might as well been thrown in because it came out a bit smushed. We actually had to adjust it a bit in it's container to get it somewhat close to how it was originally placed in. But would that stop me from coming back? Absolutely not! Return trips will be in order and if it wasn't for the fact there aren't enough daily flavor options, this would topple Cupcake Tree as the best in the SCV. read more

I planned a birthday party with 120 guests for my two daughters and totally forgot to order a cake for their party on Saturday 12.03.11. I walked in on 11.30.11 late in the afternoon after finding this local shop on Yelp and was greeted by Melinda. I was given a complimentary sample of this 7 layer yummy cupcake and I just knew this was the place I wanted to order from! As a busy mother of five I was very embarrassed and explained my dilemma of totally overlooking ordering a cake in advance. Thankfully it was not a problem. As I was talking with Melinda I could tell she was very creative and passionate about what she does. She immediately came up with this amazing presentation and was so excited, she explained her ideas to go along with my theme then I got excited and could not wait to see everything on Saturday. She assured me not to worry and she will take care of everything. I received via email and text right away a very detailed proposal of her creation for my daughter's party. Then as promised she came with her assistant two hours before the party started. Then her magic began... Melinda literally set up a "SWEET SHOPPE" for their party on a 6 foot table complete with a fabric back drop, banners, custom painted frames hanging over the table with the first letter of each of my daughter's name, this unbelievable cake for 50, individual cake pops, red velvet cake shots, cake ice cream cones, sugar cookies, cup cakes, rice crispy treats dipped in pink chocolate, large round pink and white lollypops, pink and white salt water taffy, red and white gummy bears and pink gum balls. All of the candy was in different size apothecary jars, everything was labeled with ribbon and custom matching tags. It was so beautiful, memorizing for the children and beyond what I expected. My daughters were just speechless and so excited. All of the children just went crazy for the self serve "Sweet Shoppe" that Melinda created. My friends were very impressed with not only the presentation but everything was absolutely delicious. The sugar cookies were very nostalgic for me and tasted just like the ones my mom used to bake when I was a child. No diets were followed on Saturday and everyone indulged sampling everything. As a business owner in a service industry I am very critical of the overall experience from start to finish. Melinda you and your team are just amazing! Thanks again for making my daughter's birthday so memorable. read more

I have used this place for a couple of birthdays for the kids. I have tried their cakes as well as their cupcakes, cake pops and sometimes they have cookies. Here it goes: Cakes: beautifully decorated and you can work with them to get your theme aka design perfected. The cake itself was okay on taste and really dense but overall was devoured by the kids. Cupcakes: not my favorite as they are way to dense but frosting is good. I've tried a handful of flavors they had to offer. I always like to get a regular vanilla or chocolate to see how they do their thing but again really dense. CookieS: wasn't expecting much as they specialize in cakes but dang their cookies are super delicious. I recommend for sure. Cake pops: yes I recommend for sure. They do a wonderful job. read more

Extremely happy I stopped in with friends who insisted on cupcakes after a very disappointing lunch at Newhall Refinery. All of us loved our choices. I chose the Lemon with Berries cupcake and it is the best cupcake!!! Moist, not too sweet, perfect ratio of cake to frosting and bursting with amazing flavor. While there I made an appointment to see about a cake for my Mom's 70th. Five days later I met Melinda who couldn't be any kinder and she is a pleasure to work with. She drew up a beautiful rendition of my wishes and I am so looking forward to the final result. I will update at that time. read more

Melinda is awesome! Ordered a beautiful and delicious cake for my wedding! It was everything we expected and more. The designing process was fun and she paid special attention to the finest details!

CAKEgoodness - My Lemon Raspberry Buttercream Wedding Cake! - Desserts Near Me - Newhall, California

Melinda, the owner of CAKEgoodness, made my wedding cake for me back in May 2010. Guests from my wedding still comment about her cake to this day -- not how beautiful I looked or what an amazing time they had -- but that the cake was the best cake ever. I would normally be mad that all of the attention wasn't on me, but they're right.. The cake was delicious! That was when I first got to know her and taste her delicious treats! As a wedding photographer we now work together on a regular basis and I see so many amazing cakes and dessert bars come out of that shop! I eat wedding cake basically every weekend and their cake is BY FAR the best tasting and SUPER moist :) During Girl Scout cookie season, they make the best cupcakes ever! I mean, they're always really good, but a cupcake with a Samoa squished into the top of it?? Heaven. As far as other reviewers saying that this shop is hard to get ahold of? They're right. Sometimes getting a response can sometimes be a bit of an ordeal. However, push through it and keep trying :) It's hard to get the girls on the phone but just go in! They're really professional and always deliver the best product! read more

I'm not big on doing the review thing, but I was SO happy, that I had to do a review for the AMAZING job that Cakegoodness did on my daughter's Alice In Wonderland cake. Everyone was awed by the work on this beautiful cake. It was hard to cut, because it was so pretty!! Usually, when you order an "elaborate" cake, you can forget about the taste, You usually give up good tasting cake for the looks, but this wasn't the case AT ALL. It tasted as wonderful as it looked. Fifteen 12 year old girls agreed, as well as the adults!!! Thank you, Melinda for the beautiful cake. My daughter was so ecstatic over it and it made the party all the more special. The cake pops I ordered as favors were a HUGE hit as well. They were super cute and sooooo delicious. I will only order my cakes from Cakegoodness from now on. I wish I had discovered them sooner. If you want a quality cake that looks AMAZING and tastes incredible, there is no better place in Santa Clarita. Trust me...I've tried all of them!!!! read more

Ok update time. So I got a very nice email from Cake Goodness, saying that their cookie sizes are normally bigger than the ones I saw. I came into the shop soon after. The cookies were indeed bigger, yet no longer cute. When I had purchased the cookies before, my favorite thing about them was their cute size. A great sweet to pop in the mouth. But I think it's better business sense to make products bigger for more money, than smaller for less money. And, it would be so great if there could be some vegan cupcakes. If you are reading this Cake Goodness, please make vegan cupcakes. For the lactose intolerant you would be a godsend. You are already pretty much the best cupcake place in the Valencia/Newhall area. The only other vegan cupcake place in this area ONLY caters. No walk in's. Lactose intolerant people want to pay 3 bucks for fancy cupcakes too. I make an exception every once and a while to eat a dairy cupcake from a new place like yours. I would return frequently to your shop, if you had vegan cupcakes. cheers read more

I stopped here one day because the name "Cake Goodness" implied that they had cake. I'm cool with cupcakes but that's not really what I was looking for. No where on the front does it mention that there is no cake, only cupcakes. Ehh, moving on.... We came during Girl Scout cookie season and even though our living room was completely full of Girl Scout cookies, we ended up getting Girl Scout cookie cupcakes. Part of me is like "Wow, we have a problem" but I don't really eat the cookies so I almost just feel like there weren't enough to choose from. The cupcakes were really good. The frosting to cake ratio surpassed adequate. I'm never going to complain about frosting. I don't know that I would say "Best cupcakes ever" but I would for sure give them an A. We also got two cake pops. They suspiciously tasted like Betty Crocker. That doesn't really matter to me. I enjoy Betty Crocker and most people do. They were really good. If I'm looking for cupcakes in the SCV area, I will for sure go back there. But not for cake. read more

I ordered twelve cupcakes for my grandsons birthday. Called last night to pickup today. The person I spoke to told me that they open at 11:30 and close at 5:30. I arrived at 2:00.

The by far my favorite bakery. While looking for a wedding cake, my husband and I found Melinda online sometime in early 2000. I believe it was before she opened her bakery. We met her in a Starbucks and fell in love with her work. Her sweet and cherry personality just made working with her that much better. Unfortunately at the time my husband postponed our wedding. When we finally got married in 2013, we already knew that we had to get our cake from Melinda at Cake Goodness. She actually remembered us from our original meeting with her. Now my husband and I visit her shop every time we are in the area. We have even driven the 2 hours from our home just to pick up her amazing cupcakes. Today when we visited she remembered us and even remembered my favorite kind of cake. And even though she was busy with other clients, she took a minute to greet us and make us feel welcome. read more

First off the desserts made by CakeGoodness are JUST out of this world. They are STUNNING. I had a dessert bar and cake made for my wedding day and it was an absolute hit! Everything tasted great! My cake was gluten free and honestly, no one knew it was even gluten free because that's how good it was. The time and effort that went into the desserts was clear - the detail on each cake pop, cupcake, everything was just amazing! I would definitely recommend CakeGoodness and will be using them all the time with any baking needs!! Melinda was so easy to work with and easy to access whenever!! read more

I have used CAKEgoodness two times one for a birthday cake...which was exactly what my son had hoped for; and another time for a celebration cake. The cakes created here are amazing...they take great pains to make sure everything is perfect, and believe me they are! The best thing though is how delicious the cakes are...sometimes cakes can be either pretty and taste ok, or ok and taste amazing. These cakes are both amazing and off the charts delicious! I love the cookies and cream cake and I would highly recommend an addition of cake pops to any cake order. They make such great accompaniment to the cake and come in so many great flavors. I frequently top by the shop now just to purchase a cake pop or pick up a cupcake....Seven Layers of Heaven being a new favorite. You will NOT be disappointed with anything you purchase here. read more

I ordered 4 cupcakes velvet, birthday, chocolate and lemon... she did go to the back to get the cupcakes... not one of this cupcakes tasted fresh they were cold like if they had been sitting in the freezer.... but I have to say they were ok... if they were fresh I would have loved them i won't be returning but hope this helps read more

Love their sugar cookies. Cupcakes are delicious, also. I love stopping by here on Saturday's when I'm in the area.

Cake is to dye for. Really! Real substantial dense cake. Moist and the frosting (like butter-actually probably is mostly butter). Five star for these cakes! But you need to open at 10:00 or 10:30 on weekend. Too late for the weekend needs. I had to go to long beach for a picnic and wanted to pick up a dozen cup cakes. read more
