    I had an amazing experience working with Holly. I had originally spoken to about 20 different vendors and I was getting extremely frustrated because all I wanted was a huge cake for my wedding and the first question everyone would ask me was how many people and that I didn't need to have a cake that big. However Holly took everything I said into consideration and remembered every single detail to the T from the first call to the delivery 10 months later! My favorite part about working with Holly is that she absolutely loves what she does and always does everything with a smile! Nothing phases her and everything is possible! I would HIGHLY recommend Cakes By Holly to anyone doing an event that requires high quality cake! She did a 9 tier cake for my wedding and it was STUNNING!

    My daughter's 25th birthday cake was the highlight of the party!! It was absolutely incredibly creative and oohh, soo delicious!! It was made with fresh strawberries and real ganache inside. Everyone just loved it and made my daughters birthday extra special. Thank you so very much, Holly!! You are amazing!!

    Patron bottle cake!

    Where do I even begin with how amazing and how talented Holly is? If I can give her more than 5 stars, trust me I would. I stumbled upon her business through yelp from all her positive reviews so I contacted her via email to inquire about a special cake that I needed. She is great at thoroughly explaining everything when breaking down prices, size, and details in regards to the cake. I love how she is able to sketch your cake more than once for complete satisfaction. The cake was amazing and so breathtaking. I use to make cakes years ago but Im glad I decided for Holly to make it because like I mentioned earlier, she is far beyond talented. The guests and the birthday boy himself could not stop talking about the cake. Thank you Holly a million times!!!

    The cake we agreed on via emails.

    I wish this review was a lot different. The cake I purchased was NOT royal blue like the sketch. It actually had a few differences then the sketch we agreed on (a month prior) so it wasn't a last minute thing. The cake looked like it was made last minute though. This cake was important - for my baby shower. The theme was twinkle twinkle little star and I convinced my husband we should get a nice cake through Holly K because her work seemed good. Unfortunately that was not my experience whatsoever. It was expensive! $246! For something I literally cried about. This was the only bad part of my baby shower. :(

    I found holly through a yelp search and I am completely satisfied with her work! She is truly talented. Holly helped make my cake for my 21st birthday party. Thank you so much for your great customer service. Everyone loved the cake!

    ZOMBIE!

    I just want to start off by saying THANK YOU for making my little one birthday amazing by providing us with this wonderful cake! I was lucky to find cakes by holly k, not only did we get the cake of my sons dreams, but she accommodated our short notice. Thank u for everything. We will be ordering cakes again from cakes by holly k!

    We had an amazing experience with Holly! She's great at communicating and organizing and we set up exactly what we wanted quickly and stress-free. She was very understanding of my busy work schedule, and helped me coordinate pickup accordingly. Really great to work with and loved the cake that we got for my 1 year old. It was beautiful and delicious!!

    Everything was amazing, from the customer service at the beginning, until the delivery of the cake. I could've been more excited. The guests, and especially the birthday girl were extremely happy and amazed by the beautiful and delicious cake. I would definitely recommend Holly@cakesbyhollyk.com

    The cake was for Gary & Linda's 35th wedding anniversary. "Made it through 35 years of bitchin' & fartin'" Haha!

    Got ahold of Holly on a Tuesday morning asking if she could make a simple cake for a 35th wedding anniversary party that was the following Sunday. She was very easy to work with. Talked me through the website and let me know as long as we finalized it by Tuesday she'd have it ready for a Saturday pickup. She was right on schedule too! We picked out our flavors and sent her photos of our ideas and she was very open to our ideas and added her creativity making it better than we imagined it could be! She does offer delivery I believe but we live a couple miles or so away so it was easy for us to just pick it up. She had it ready to go when we arrived, and after we "ooh and ahh'd" over it she placed it in a wonderful cardboard travel box to keep it safe while we transported it. We presented the cake that Sunday and it was a huge hit at the party! Everyone loved it and as soon as we cut into it they were that much more excited! It was delicious!! I definitely recommend Holly for your custom cake needs!!

    Thank you Holly for baking our wedding cake last November 10! We really loved the flavors and we loved what you did with our toppers! We hope to do more events with you! Please do not retire anytime soon lol. Thanks again!!!

    First of all! I had to give my biggest thank you because she was able to do a cake overnight for my wife. Her dedication is at 100%. My wife truly loved the cake! The taste was amazing. You made someone really happy, especially being under quarantine what else is there really to do? Besides having an amazing cake made by Holly K.

    We loved the cake Holly made us for our wedding! Months before we had our cake tasting with her and were pleased with the way the cakes she brought tasted. The only disappointment was that there wasn't a huge selection of flavors and we also didn't get to choose the flavors for our tasting. Over the next few months Holly worked diligently with us over the design of the cake and we were very happy with the finished result!

    Holly, THANK YOU! Holly made my cake for USC pharmacy school graduation and let me tell you, it was the most incredible cake I've ever ordered. My guests gave us so many compliments. Needless to say, everyone's Snapchat story had a photo of it. Holly was very easy to work with - I emailed her with a few potential ideas. She is very quick to respond and easy to communicate with. She turned my ideas into an image where we fine-tuned them and agreed on the cake. Her prices are great. For what you're getting, I was very happy with the price. Cake turned out exactly as she showed me in the pictures. We picked up which was easy and paid the bill online easily as well. Cake itself tasted amazing! We did pistachio and something chocolate I don't remember. But it tasted amazing. Again, everyone was impressed. Thank you for being an incredible vendor Holly. We look forward to working with you for future Long Beach area parties!

I chose the lemon blueberry cake with vanilla Bavarian filling and my goodness, IT WAS DELICIOUS!!!

They really had the perfect cake to icing to cream ratio annnd the cake was so moist. You can see the ratio in the picture.

However, we were really disappointed in how they handled our order. We placed our order a couple of weeks ago and received our confirmation about a week later that they were ready to be picked up. However, the email only indicated that they were ready to be picked up anytime Mon-Sun at their popup location. When we arrived, the told us that they had taken back our order because it had been over 5 days and no one had picked them up yet. Then they told us they would try and see if they could recreate our order. TBH, that is the absolute most ridiculous way to do business. No where on their site did it say it had to be picked up within a certain timeframe, AND no where on their confirmation pick up email did it say it had to be picked up by a certain timeframe either. On top of that, they said that we should have called them. Um no, it's your small business, you have left over orders that need to be picked up, then you need to reach out to the customers and let them know they only have so many more days to pick them up before they are forfeited. That's how all small business, food-related or not, handle thing, especially when there are timeframe constraints. To be clear, the time constraint was not an issue IF they had even expressed there is one, but they never did. Please clean up on your business practices, it's very important to communicate with your customer base.

I went to a birthday party a couple of years ago and had the BEST cake of my life. Since I was newly engaged I had to find out where this cake came from and when I found out it was Passionate Pastry in Garden Grove, I immediately called them up to make an appointment for a cake tasting. My fiancee and I met with Clare and had a great time at the tasting. We decided on our cake flavors (after tasting ALL the options at least once) and after looking at a few other places couldn't believe the price...a great deal for the QUALITY. Clare personally delivered the cake exactly as promised to the wedding venue and it was a huge hit. I think I had 3 pieces and I noticed several other guests indulging a little extra as well. Being a bit of a foodie, with mostly foodie friends, I was elated by how well the cake was enjoyed by all. Today is our 1 year anniversary and we just had a couple slices of our cake topper we had frozen for a year and were quite surprised how well it held up. Honestly, not as good as our wedding day but surprisingly moist and flavorful for a year in the deep freeze! THANKS CLARE!!! P.S. This is more of a serious baking kitchen versus a nice little cake studio with fancy decor, etc.
