Cake Life I wanted it to be made from scratch I wanted real ingredients real sugar, real butter, I wanted the best Ingredients. I wanted a red velvet white chocolate with toffee cake And I wanted it for no real reason at all I just wanted to eat cake. so after I did my searches I found people that claim to make cakes but cannot. Then i found F.I. And I called told them what I wanted and they said yes yes and yes and that I could pick it up and easy Peezy lemon squeezy a few days later Cake Pow - this cake was amazing the chef told me that this cake could feed 16 people. I said challenge accepted we ate the whole cake between three of us. a Couple of months later So then I ordered a vat of chili and like over 25pounds of meat so I didn't have to cook. food prep they called it few weeks later Then I ordered two Keylime pies by far the best Keylime pies I've had. and even more later a few days ago Then I ordered a white chocolate red velvet caramel cake, it is also grandiose. They are so good, I have also asked her to make me the meals from some classic movies I like and wanted to taste Like Ray Liotta in Goodfellas "keep an eye on the sauce" just because now I know a place that will do that just because read more

This review is way overdue but my girls and I are still talking about how awesome Chef Danielle's class was!! I have two young aspiring bakers who had been begging me to learn how to decorate cupcakes. I had been researching for months to find someone local that would offer a class to children and by the grace of God I found Danielle! She did an in home class and she was absolutely fantastic! The class was fun and we learned so much. She was extremely patient with the girls and spent time showing them step by step how to do each technique. Not only is she a fantastic chef, but she is a genuine and kind person. We will definitely be taking more classes with her in the future and I highly recommend using her! Thank you Chef Danielle! read more

Danielle's food is SO GOOD! I hired her to come cook for my husband and I for his birthday at our Airbnb in San Diego and we loved every minute of it. It was our first time experiencing a personal chef and I'm soo happy we did. Her menu is what caught my eye (and so hard to choose from since there were so many really good ones on there). In the end, she communicated with me what she felt would work considering what my husband was into (& since it was a surprise). I'm so glad I trusted her tasted on pairings when it came to the food and dessert.She followed COVID protocols perfectly and was very clean during and after. She was even nice enough to provide a table and two chairs since I wanted us to eat on the balcony and didn't have those available at our Airbnb. She also made her infamous Funky Monkey cupcakes for our dessert and made it even more special by adding candles to them when serving us to sing happy birthday. I took so many pictures, so enjoy like we did. We will definitely hire her again! read more

Chef Danielle went above and beyond for our group. We had the pleasure of booking her for two of the nights we stayed in San Diego. The first night, she curated and prepared one of the most delicious dinners I've had. I am no fan of lamb chops, but I sure ate three that night. This is telling of her expertise and ability to adapt to the wants and needs of her clients. The second night, she hosted a cooking class. Chef Danielle came prepared with all of the recipes, ingredients and lots of patience. She was a wonderful teacher and made it a point to explain the reasoning behind some of techniques we used in the kitchen. Thank you, Chef Danielle, for sharing your expertise and knowledge with the group. We will definitely book her again for future events. read more

Chef Danielle came to our Villa at the Hotel Del Coronado. The setup arrangements were extremely easy and the options were immense. She was prompt with her arrival and the food was served on time The best part was obviously the food. The salad was great. Her sweet potato biscuits were bomb.com! The southern smothered lobster tails were seasoned well and delicious. The main pasta with shrimp and sausage tasted great. We finished with a roasted marshmello chocolate mousse. Would definitely recommend Chef Danielle and can't wait for the next event! read more

I was planning a weekend for my girlfriend's 30th birthday in San Diego and wanted to do something that would be fun and new for us: hiring a private chef. I searched Yelp for chefs with a consistency of great reviews and even interviewed my top three so that I could get a better sense of what they "bring to the table." Ultimately I found one chef that stood out from the rest: Chef Danielle. The first thing I appreciated about Chef Danielle was her responsiveness to e-mails and texts sent to her. She was professional, engaging and extremely patient with me as I went down my list of questions concerning the creation of a dinner menu, dietary restrictions, budget, etc. Chef Danielle was asked to curate a menu that would be flavorful, accommodating to a group of 10 that had various dietary preferences (allergies, vegetarian, etc.), as well as fit within my budget. I asked a lot of her and she met all my needs and truly exceeded my expectations. Our dinner menu consisted of the following: White wine braised collards over creamy black pepper and shallot grits; organic mixed greens, baby arugula, freshly sliced green pears, Gorgonzola, candied pecan crusted cornbread croutons, lemon sweet tea white balsamic vinaigrette Chicken andouille served over fresh linguine Salmon jambalaya served over fresh linguine Southern smothered crispy fried chicken style eggplant Dark chocolate cake with toffee fudge filling and pipped Tiffany Blue ombré rosettes After listing and re-calling the birthday menu, I'm craving it all over again. The food was absolutely fantastic. Every dish had its own unique flavors that made it difficult to want to move on to the next dish. To be honest, with a group of 10 people with varying palates and preferences, I expected to hear some complaints, but there wasn't even one! Wait, there's more... Chef Danielle was supposed to have an assistant with her to serve the food as she began preparation for our next dish and also to clean up the kitchen at the end of the night. The day of our dinner her assistant cancels on Chef Danielle, leaving her to do everything by herself. I was curious to see how she would pull this balancing act off because although I felt really bad about her assistant bailing, I still wanted and expected everything I paid for. I wasn't willing to accept cold food, tasteless food, a dirty kitchen or any excuses for a less than stellar job. What I admire the most about Chef is that she found a way to find a way. She made no excuses because there wasn't a need for any. Every dish was amazing; the cake was devoured; every pot, plate and fork was washed, and the kitchen was spotlessly cleaned. Folks, if you're looking for a private chef to cater your next event (big or small), I urge you to call Flavor Integrations. You will NOT be disappointed. Chef Danielle will take your dining room table and turn it into a five-star restaurant for the evening. You'll be hard-pressed to find a chef with more class, professionalism and skills in the kitchen. read more

I emailed 4 different chefs to start my research for my parent's 50th wedding anniversary. Once Chef Danielle contacted me, I immediately stopped communicating with the 3 other chefs. I didn't have to look any further! Chef Danielle is personable, creative, punctual, flexible and also creates the most amazingly beautiful dishes. We had 11 adults at the table with different dietary needs. We had kosher family members as well as ones that don't do so well with dairy. Chef Danielle knew exactly what our menu should look like as soon as we started talking. Chef Danielle made us a delicious salad followed by chilean sea bass in a delicious tomato caper sauce, beef tenderloin that melted in your mouth, dairy free risotto that tasted so rich it was hard to believe it was dairy free, roasted veggies, unreal cheddar & chive biscuits and 2 types of cupcakes. Not to mention, she left my kitchen spotless! I don't know why you are still reading this, you should be contacting Danielle right now. We can't wait to hire her again. read more

Chef Danielle is fabulous! After a lot of research, I was referred to Flavor Integrations. I found the website to be very professional and informative. Chef Danielle was very responsive to my phone calls and emails (which after much research you learn is very important in your decision-making process) She helped me select a menu that was in my price budget and catered to everyone's dietary needs. Chef Danielle's food was everything I wanted, expected and then some. Her staff was exceptional and left my kitchen spotless. After reading several of the other reviews listed here I'm not sure what more I can say. Chef Danielle gave my small group an experience from start to finish as we have never had before. I highly recommend using her and will use her again as many times as I can. read more

Chef Danielle knows what she is doing! If you're looking for exceptionally delicious food at a great price, Danielle is for sure the way to go! Highly recommend. We hired Danielle to cook brunch for a bachelorette party. Working with Danielle was easy. We communicated via email and she was always quick to respond. I had a ton of questions but Danielle was a huge help. She was on time, polite and friendly. here is what she made -Smoked Salmon Crostinis -Brioche French Toast with Mixed Berry Coulis and Honey Basil Whipped Cream -Thick Cut Hickory Smoked Bacon -Country Potatoes with Onions and Roasted Red Peppers -Eggs read more

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Danielle. She's incredibly professional and so easy to work with! We hired her services for an Afternoon Tea Party for a not-for-profit event. She was super helpful in coming up with a menu that suited our needs and our budget. In terms of communication, Danielle was super responsive, friendly, and organized from start to finish. For the event, our crowd had several dietary restrictions (halal/kosher/veggie preferences) and she accommodated them all! Her extensive menu was served on a number of cute trays and the guests loved the variety of options. I'm already in the midst of planning another event and you can bet I won't look any further than Danielle's culinary skills. If you're looking for a caterer who is professional, reasonable, and just all out amazing- hire Danielle. Trust me, every dish is executed with such detail that your guests will be beyond impressed! read more

Wow is all I can say!!! Danielle was the sweetest, punctual, professional chef ever! She gets back to you with any questions really fast and she comes prepared. I loved getting to know her and how she became a chef. Every dish we had was seriously incredible and also looked amazing! There were 13 of us girls for a bachelorette party and each one of us were just so amazed by our experience. I highly highly recommend her! Way better than catering meals for a party and she really works with your group for any restrictions, budget and what you'd like on the menu! read more

Book her now, if I win the lottery, she will become my personal chef!! read more

We recently hired Flavor Integrations for a 70th birthday party for my wife after doing some research and getting advice from our friends. We spoke with 8 companies, but we were most impressed by Chef Danielle of Flavor Integrations. She was responsive to our requests and made several suggestions on menus and presentation for a group of 30+ guests. Needless to say, we were concerned about the many details that go into a function like this (you only turn 70 once!) Thankfully, Chef Danielle over delivered in every aspect of the party. The food was terrific, the service and presentation were impeccable, and the desserts were out of this world! We had many unsolicited comments from our guests complimenting us for our selection of Flavor Integrations. I highly recommend Chef Danielle and Flavor Integrations and will use them again to cater our next event. read more

We had Danielle cater an anniversary party. The food was amazing and she was so personable. Everyone loved the food. Doing these types of events is her passion and it shows. We would highly recommend her. read more

Amazing! Who knew sparkles could be edible?!?! Chef Danielle cooked for a dinner birthday party I threw for my husband's 37th. It was amazing! She adjusted the menu so vegans,vegetarians, and omnivorous would all have a great plate of food. Cupcakes was served as desert. They were gorgeous and so tasty. Many people wanted two so I am happy she suggested ordering more chuckles than guests. Chef Danielle was so nice to work with. She customized a menu, was prompt with an invoice, let me know due dates, and showed up with all her supplies just as she said. I couldn't have dreamt of a better experience to celebrate. While she cooked I got to socialize with guests and then able to eat a home cooked meal while my toddler was in his PJ's. We will definitely call her again and I have my friends asking for her info for their parties. Thanks Chef Danielle! read more

Call Chef Danielle! And her cupcakes are CRAZY good. read more

I first met Chef Danielle when she catered a BBQ for the place I used to work for. Oh my gosh...so so good. It was fascinating how good it was. A friend at the event said it best..."I wish that I had 2 mouths right now!" And somehow, Chef Danielle managed to look great too! This inspired me and a friend to hire her for a birthday party we were throwing. I was only thinking about how awesome the food would be, but she met with us, we came up with a theme, and then she was immediately coming up with super fun ideas for decorations, drinks, etc. She adds so much creativity and love to anything she does and the party was a huge hit. People were talking about the food long after, especially about her super delicious, moist red velvet cupcakes. They are by far the best I have ever had. I highly recommend her for any party...she will make it an event! read more

Danielle is amazing! I cannot tell you how helpful Danielle has been in creating a menu for a Bachelorette Brunch. Not only was she super responsive and very friendly to work with she was also incredibly flexible and creative when it came to the menu. Our bride is allergic to nuts, chocolate, dairy and she doesn't eat meat! Danielle was understanding of all of this and helped create an amazing menu at a very reasonable price point. Doesn't this all sounds divine? * Coconut Panna Cotta with Strawberry Basil Compote * French Toast with Berry Coulis and Vanilla Bean Whipped Cream * Thick Cut Hickory Smoked Bacon * Country Potatoes with Roasted Red Peppers and Onions * Scrambled Eggs You would be silly NOT to work with Danielle. I can't wait to try her amazing cupcakes soon too! XOXO read more

Chef Danielle's food was absolutely delicious. We booked Chef Danielle for an intimate celebration for a party of 3 at an Airbnb in San Diego. It was our first time having a professional chef cook for us and that was the best decision we made! Chef Danielle was very attentive from the moment I sent the inquiry. I already had an idea of what we wanted the menu to look like based on her food choices on her website. We had a hard time choosing because everything sounded and looked so good! Chef Danielle was prompt, prepared and a pleasure to be around. She was very detailed on what we were going to expect and she exceeded our expectations. Our menu consisted of organic mixed greens salad with grilled brown sugar peaches, smoked blue cheese with a lemon sweet tea white balsamic vinaigrette. Green onion cheddar biscuits which are so fluffy, flavorful and mouth watering. That was the first item to be completely eaten! Pan Seared Cajun Jumbo Shrimp over Creamy Grits, Passion Flower Mimosas, Wedding Cupcakes and Black Magic Cupcakes. Each dish was loaded with flavor, served promptly and hot. The presentation was beautiful and she made each one of us feel like Queens. Her personality fit right within our group and we had a wonderful time. I would 100% recommend her and would absolutely book her again. read more

Unbelievable experience! Chef Danielle provided a four course dinner for my wife and eight of her friends for her 30th birthday party. Danielle was super easy to work with from the time I called her a few weeks out all the way through discussing the menu, coming up with creative fall themed dishes, providing professional paperwork and contracts, to arriving on time and serving a beautiful, delicious meal. Her biscuits and salted molasses butter are out of this world. The fire roasted tomato and spicy pumpkin braised short ribs with creamy polenta were sooo good! I highly recommend Chef Danielle and Flavor Integrations for any event- she does parties, romantic dinners, baby showers, etc etc etc. I'll definitely hire her again for an event in the future! read more

Chef Danielle Sharesse - Awesome cupcakes!!!! - Personal Chefs Near Me

I contacted Chef Danielle through Yelp in the 11th hour for a professional event. She called me immediately and was not only available but quickly understood what I was trying to pull off: Healthy meal options with lots of flavor that could be recreated at home. We decided on an menu and she emailed the recipes of all her dishes for me to share with the attendees. On the day of the event she arrived early with an assistant. The tea she was bringing spilled on the way to the venue - yet, she was not detoured or flustered. She had a back-up plan and the evening went on without a hitch. The guests were truly impressed with the food and took home the recipes. I even had a guest call me the week of Christmas asking for the recipes again as she had misplaced them. I would totally recommend Danielle and hope to work with her again soon! read more

I wish there was more than 5 stars.... Chef Danielle rocked the taste buds of all our wedding guests! We had asked Danielle to do 2 kinds of tacos as well as our Cupcakes. For the taco's we asked for a traditional Chicken Taco and a Vietnamese Style Tacos, chicken, w/ jalapenos, pickled carrot, daikon radish & cilantro (imagine a chicken bahn mi but in a taco). BOTH were beyond AMAZING!!!!! For the cupcakes Danielle once again delivered an amazing product. We had her signature (and by no means ordinary) Green Tea cupcake as well as a delightful Vanilla Bean Cupcake & Champagne Frosting. All of the guests, myself and my bride were amazed by the flavor of both the tacos and cupcakes. read more

Flavor Integrations was truly the right choice. We had a group of 24 girls for a bachelorette party and all our expectations were exceeded . Chef Danielle and her staff are prompt, professional, and courteous. Dinner was on time and exactly what we ordered. And the dessert! Out of this world. If you like green tea try the green tea cupcakes . The menu was perfect for the occasion- Tasty and light , yet still filling. Everyone had nothing but great things to say about her food. She was prepared and handled a house with 24 girls very well. We couldn't have been more happy with our choice. If you can't decide what chef to choose? Please let this review be your deciding factor! You will not regret it! read more

I hired Chef Danielle for a birthday luncheon for 10 a few weeks ago. I was so pleased to find someone that could cater such a small group. My first time hiring a caterer and I was extremely pleased how well it went. She was great making suggestions and working with changes. Another company I contacted pretty much wanted me to tell her what to cook. The food was all delicious and Chef Danielle is so personable yet professional. I showed her a few things in the kitchen and then she took it from there. Next year, Chef Danielle - next year!!! read more

Our entire family was so impressed with Chef Danielle. It begins with her as a person - professional, friendly, engaging. You know she loves what she does by just observing! She was so easy to work with when planning our engagement. The menus she offered were more than amazing. I simply asked for different themes & she put the menus together. Our foodie family members were more than impressed! Our favorite was the filet mignon ... so tender & delicious. She was reliable, creative, and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend! read more

If the guests of your future wedding or event are the most critical of foodies, who expect nothing less than ingenious culinary creativity and perfect flavor and texture combinations, then you need to call Flavor Integrations! Words are not enough to describe our experience with Chef Danielle Soto of Flavor Integrations. Not only is she a beautiful person inside and out, but she is EXTREMELY TALENTED, PASSIONATE, PATIENT, and PROFESSIONAL. My now husband and I were referred by a friend for Danielle's catering services for our wedding in the middle of December 2012. Danielle took our event on, even though she would have a little bundle of joy coming into her life just a few days before our wedding date! And she did so with the utmost dedication and professionalism. The experience that we had with Danielle made the catering process so easy and carefree. Mind you, that I am a Type-A personality, perfectionist, neurotic, a would-be Bridezilla, and am generally very hard to impress. My husband is easier going, but culinarily, very difficult to impress as well. We felt so taken care of by Danielle during this process before the wedding that I--of all people--was actually able to relinquish control on this aspect of our wedding! We met with her once in person and communicated every specific detail of our vision, she designed a brilliant menu that she emailed us for approval/modifications, then we met with her at the event venue to go over timing/spatial arrangements, and everything was done after that! As if designing a most innovative and diverse flavor profile for our wedding food lineup for a bunch of critical foodies wasn't enough, Danielle was able to tackle many other layers of difficulty of our event. We did not have a wedding planner or event coordinator. Our wedding was anything but typical. We are two men who were planning a non-traditional union, who work 7 days a week with extremely limited time to meet. We were hosting a very diverse international crowd of guests with multiple dietary restrictions including vegetarians, vegans, and lactose-intolerant individuals--and the majority of our guests are self-proclaimed "food snobs". We could NOT have anything close to a run-of-the-mill-wedding-menu. We wanted creative and diverse array of innovative flavor profiles, and we wanted everything to be served cocktail style. We required something classy and beautiful to the eyes--we wanted absolute aesthetic and taste perfection. And without skipping a beat, Danielle nailed it. Our guests were raving about the food even before the event was over--even before the food service was finished! Danielle was able to adjust most of the menu options for our vegan, vegetarian, and lactose-intolerant guests. Usually, guests with special dietary guidelines always feel left out at an event like this. However, at our wedding, all of our guests we indeed tantalized and amazed by the culinary creations that Danielle served up at our wedding! Here was our menu: *Roasted tomato and Spicy jalapeno potato soup shooters *Balsamic caprese skewers *Winter berry salad *Marketplace spreads (garlic herbed rondele cheese spread, sun dried tomato hummus, and edamame avocado spread) *White bean and prosciutto stuffed endive *Roasted red pepper spanakopita *Southern style shrimp and polenta *Sweet hoisin salmon canapé *Puerto Rican chicken empanadas *Tri-tip canapé with black berry gastrique with blue cheese *Sweet and sour Cranberry meatballs. We did not run out of food, which was one of our major concerns that we expressed to Chef Danielle. Our foodie guests are also all hearty eaters! Every single guest has since come to us and raved about the quality and the flavors of the food, which makes us extremely proud and happy because we wanted to make sure our guests were well taken care. None of our guests could single out one particular dish as their favorite because each bite of every different dish was an explosion of flavors--They loved them all! In addition to Chef Danielle, her staff/team impressed every single person at our wedding. Everyone was impressed with her team and how they were all courteous, and always had a smile on their faces. When we went to thank them for all of their hard work at our event, each and every team member turned around and thanked us for being able to work at our event, which was very unexpected! This tells you a lot about the dedication and quality of Chef Danielle and her team. You can taste the love and the passion that she has for food in every single bite. There were many highlights at our wedding, but the food was the definite star of the event, of course, second to me and my husband. We felt so honored to have Chef Danielle be a part of our wedding and who, despite having delivered a beautiful baby girl just a few days before our wedding, showed up in person to make sure everything went as magically as planned. read more

Its absolutely a great find... Chef Danielle of Flavor Integrations! This is our first time hiring a chef to help with our thanksgiving dinner. After going through all the reviews in Yelp, we decided to try Chef Danielle. And boy, that was the best decision we made. I didn't have time to prepare the side dishes and appetizers due to workload. And Chef Danielle came to the rescue. Her pumpkin pie is out of this world. My family love all of the side dishes she prepared for us. They can't stop raving about the garlic mash potatoes and stuffing. She's very responsive and great personality. She's a keeper. We're already planning for the next event :) read more

WOW! This was my first experience in using a personal chef in our home. My wife was so excited when I told her of my idea to hire a chef to host a dinner in our home for her birthday. I had no idea how to go about doing this or what the costs would be so I of course yelped it (thanks yelp). Flavor Integrations (Chef Danielle) popped up pretty quickly. I contacted 3 other chefs as well but decided on Chef Danielle. So glad I did. She was really easy to work with from the start. I was worried about this at first because I felt so undecided on what exactly I wanted for the dinner and the menu's she sent me, although amazing looking, were a little different then what I was looking for. Not a problem for Chef Danielle. When we talked on the phone she heard what I wanted and was able to make recommendations, pointing out different items on the menu she sent me. We decided on doing a bunch of small plates and a variety of cupcakes instead on a traditional large plate. This was perfect for what we wanted, especially since we had about a dozen guests and wanted to make sure everyone got a little of something they really liked. It was perfect. The individual small plate courses were a perfect fit for our continued conversation during the meal. Everyone loved Chef Danielle and her assistant, Audra (spelling?). Everything was great but if I had to pick some favorites: Avocado soup shooter, spicy beef skewers, hibiscus/orange cupcakes, and her choices in the cheese board (I still have some of the cheese left! It'll be gone by tonight). Oh, one more thing. The cost was very reasonable. Now to find another reason to throw a dinner party with Chef Danielle! read more

We are so fortunate to have come across Chef Danielle. She made our trip so special, preparing incredibly tasty dishes customized to our liking. The food was so good that my toddler wouldn't eat anything but her meals. Thank you so much Chef Danielle for such a wonderful experience!! read more
