    Custom retirement cake
    Christina M.

    I ordered a chocolate cake, my dad's absolute favorite, for his retirement with a simple idea to make it tailored to the occasion. I was seriously wow'd when I saw the finished product. The final touches Navi added to the cake blew my expectations out of the water and made my dad's retirement celebration that much more special! The cake was just perfect in every way -- tasted delicious and was designed beautifully. Thank you, Navi!

    Hands down, the best cake! I ordered a chocolate cake for my daughter's birthday. I wanted something simple, but somehow to have not one particular princess themed, but ALL of them. The cake looked amazing and was absolutely delicious! For sure I will order again from Navi!

    Meant to yelp about these amazing cookies for my son's tee ball team months ago. It was our turn to provide snacks and I wanted to outdo the others so I ordered Angels baseballs and baseball glove cookies and they were exactly what I wanted. I just sent her a picture and she was able to create what I wanted. They were soft moist and delicious. All the other baseball moms were jealous of our snacks. I'm definitely be ordering from her again.

    Navi is absolutely AMAZING!! My best friend and I have both been obsessed with Navi's divinely delicious treats for many years now. Her strawberry cake is hands down my favorite and has always been a huge hit with anyone whose ever tried it. Anytime, we have any special occasion we always ask Navi to make something out of this world for us. Navi never disappoints! Navi made both my 30th bday with a massive 6 layer rainbow cake & my best friends 30th - Game of Thrones themed cake that were both absolutely fabulous! If I could give 10 stars I would!

    Navi created a beautiful and delicious two tiered naked cake and matching chocolate covered strawberries for my baby shower. The cake was so beautiful and classic, decorated with fresh flowers. We ordered coconut for the top layer and vanilla for the bottom layer. Both the cake the strawberries were such a hit with the guests. Navi is also great to work with, she is so responsive and accommodating. Can't wait to work with her again the the future!

    My dad's cake- thanks, Navi!

    With my father's 90th birthday party approaching, I found Cakes by Navi by googling "Cusom Cakes in Costa Mesa area", and liked the reviews & pictures on Yelp. When she & I spoke, Navi was very helpful. I texted her a "drawing" of what I wanted, and she was able to design the exact cake I wanted, despite the horrid artwork I sent her. For the three tiers, we had cookies 'n cream w/chocolate mousse filling for the top, the middle tier was carrot cake w/cream cheese filling, and the bottom cake was marble w/raspberry mousse filling. I had the marble cake while my husband had the carrot cake- both were flavorful and moist. I didn't get the chance to try the top layer- I had asked the servers at the restaurant to carry a tray with slices of all three, offering guests a choice. By the time a server arrived at our table, he told me that the cookies 'n cream cake was requested by many of the younger party-goers. (I did ask some of them at the Sunday brunch the next day how the cake was, and they all loved it!) Delivery was on-time (a BIG worry of mine), & Navi texted me when delivery was completed. All-in-all, I was thrilled with the entire process of ordering a cake from her, & all the comments given by family and friends were positively glowing. Thanks, Navi, for giving my dad a sweet 90th party!

    This review has been a long time coming. I have ordered cakes twice from Kymoto Co and each time I…read morehave been so happy with my order. To start the process, I emailed Kylie and let her know what I envisioned for my cakes with some pictures attached and the date I needed the cakes. Please note that you do have to order a month in advance. Kylie let me know that there is a minimum purchase of 2 cakes when ordering lunchbox cakes so I ordered 2. The actual cake is vanilla flavor and you have the option of choosing vanilla, strawberry, matcha, or cookies and cream for the buttercream filling. For my mom's birthday, I chose a light purple cake with a cute floral design and strawberry buttercream flavor ($40). The second cake for her birthday had Van Gogh's starry night with vanilla buttercream flavor ($45). For my birthday this year, I ordered a light pink cake with a floral design and matcha buttercream flavor ($45). My second lunchbox cake was light purple with an angel hello kitty design and cookies and cream buttercream filling ($50). It's really cool that you are able to customize your cakes, although it does get pricier as you add more details. The lunchbox cakes come in a circle shape and are the perfect size. There's enough cake to share with a couple people, but it's also not too much cake if you wanted to just enjoy it yourself. :) Once you are set on the details of your order and your pickup time, Kylie sends you your invoice. After that, all you have to do is show up at your designated time to the address provided. Kylie includes cake care instructions for you as well to ensure that your cake stays in good condition until you are ready to enjoy it. I have appreciated the quality of the cakes and I love supporting small businesses so I will definitely order again in the future. Thank you Kylie for your beautiful designs and attention to detail. Your cakes have brought a smile to my face each time and my loved ones have also enjoyed!

When my…read more"partner in crime" submitted the design, "Simply Sweet Cakes" was responsive, friendly, fast, & the quality of their artwork was excellent. The smiling donkey cake topper was whimsical, adorable, funny, & the attention to detail was amazing! While other bakeries were not as accommodating, "Simply Sweet Cakes" demonstrated the utmost in customer care, & the word "No" was simply not in their vocabulary. Thanks so much for helping to make our special occasion extra special! Looking for a custom cake topper? Check out "Simply Sweet Cakes." Hopefully their closure (as listed on Yelp) will only be temporary...looking forward to their re-opening!

    I never knew about this place until I saw it on Too Good To Go and decided to try one. Clean…read morelocation. I got my box and took it to go. I did see they have huge cookies but I didn't want to get more if I'm not sure how they taste. I got a lemon bar which was tart but the crust was way to thick for my liking. The strawberry tart was also very refreshing and the crust was a little less thick so I liked that better but I prefer my bars to have more of the filing. I prefer 75/25 crust and theirs is more like 60/40. But love the lemon taste. The red velvet cupcake was tasty and not too sweet. The chocolate chunk cookie was big and I thought they were just ok. I'd probably go elsewhere to get my chocolate chip cookie. Overall, glad I got to try this place. SYOY

You don't even have to move your car (Same parking lot) I ordered a cinnamon roll and a chocolate croissant... I haven't had the croissant yet, but let's talk about the cinnamon roll.... Omg... soooo good!!! The texture is perfect..not a typical generic cinnamon roll...very fresh and not too sweet. I was supposed to save half for later after dinner but I couldn't stop! MUST go back again!!! Perhaps today

She was very nice in the email though. Most of all though was the cake itself is so disappointing. The icing is grainy and disgusting. I got chocolate nutella. And there is absolutely no taste of nutella. Just freaking sweet garnular sugar. The cake itself wasnt even good either. The decor was ok. The purple shade that i asked for was a tiny bit off shade and the bows i brought in to be put on was way too many. This is exactly what i tried to meet with her in person about. And consequently the details were off. If you are not too detailed oriented or too refined on taste this is an on custom cake place. Very basic.

    This place is seriously so cute!…read more We stopped by for dessert and there were so many delicious options to choose from. I got the Mango Meringue and my husband went with the New York Cheesecake. Both were sooo good! I loved that neither dessert was overly sweet, they had just the right amount of sweetness and were light enough that you could finish them without feeling like you were in a sugar coma. The café itself is adorable and has such a cozy French-inspired vibe. It's the perfect spot to catch up with friends, go on a cute date, or just relax with a coffee or tea while enjoying a pastry (or something savory!). The service was amazing too.. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and quick. Overall, such a great experience. 10/10! You'll definitely be seeing more of me soon. Thanks for the yummy treats!

    Wow, this place definitely earned a review…read more This was my first time trying this bakery/cafe. I ordered the red velvet cake, crème brûlée, and strawberry cream parfait, and all three were phenomenal. The cake was moist and fluffy, the crème brûlée was rich and creamy with the perfect caramelized top, and the parfait was fresh, light, and absolutely delicious. My only tiny note is that I would have loved a few more raspberries on the crème brûlée. What made this even better for me personally was learning that this local small business is Afghan-owned. As a fellow Afghan, I love supporting our community. But regardless, the desserts were pretty close to perfection. I look forward to going in and trying their coffee and chai drinks next. I'll definitely be a regular. Highly recommend!
