    Nishat is the best! I came to her with ideas of what I wanted my niece's Studio Ghibli theme cake to look like and she created a beautiful masterpiece! I know this was different from her usual cakes but I love that she was not afraid to get out of her comfort zone. I am amazed at her artistry and ability to bake delicious cakes because not many have the ability to do both. My niece loved it, thank you Nishat!

    We had a great experience with Nishat at Cherry On Top Cake. We had a last minute work event and had less than a week's notice to order custom cookies. Nishat was a delight to work with, very responsive and most importantly was able to take our order with short notice. Everything turned out great with the cookies. They looked great and tasted great as well. Our team loved them. I would absolutely use them again and highly recommend. -Shannon

    Where to start, Nishat is amazing! Hands down one of the most creative individuals on the market. She's attentive and makes sure the details are there delivering your requests! I wanted something for my parents for their anniversary and coming from a south east asian background there wasn't any work I saw someone that can match my standards of "Desi" style cakes. Yeah I can go to Indian store and get some basic deserts but a cake is something else and no one has done it. Well Nishat did, and with her creative twist she made a modern version of something I wouldn't think of. Mango filling and rose frosting. Whoa! That blend actually turned out nice. I just asked her for her recommendation and her vast knowledge of different cultures she definitely met expectations and delivered one of the best cakes I've had.

    | Food | Cake pops - hands down my favorite item to order from her, so delicate and right amount of sweetness. She was able to bring the design in my head to life . Chocolate covered Oreos - definitely something I can't get at every bakery and love the mix with chocolate and white chocolate DESI cupcakes - these are her newest things and love them ( ex - chai flavor, rose, mango lassi, gulab jamun, and jalebi), perfect for desi weddings and events | Service | 5/5, accommodates to your schedule and has availability to deliver | Environment | Private, home based company. Order through her website/social media

    Highly recommend Cherry On Top for any of your dessert needs!!! Nishat was such a pleasure to work with from start to finish. She created our wedding dream cake (look and taste) and curated exactly what we wanted for our dessert table. We should have ordered double because our guests ate everything so quickly! Look no further than COT and you will not be disappointed!

    Wow where do I start after lots of research and visiting many places finally we found cakes by Nish! Was a very important event my sons 6th Birthday so had to be truly special.. I have to confess I am literally OCD I thought my attention to detail was obsessive however Nish truly exceeded my expectations after hearing nothing but great things about her service I knew it would be good but not this good she went above and behind many of these so called expert establishments couldn't even compare!! Our cake and desert table was just on a another level!! Thank you so grateful for such a phenomenal experience highly recommended!! She is truly amazing and so skilled her attention to detail is not only amazing but the professionalism and attention to detail is outstanding!! Thanks Nish and team!! Can't wait to use you guys again!!

    I ordered a cake from Nishat few years back when she was just starting out. I sent her a picture of a cake that I wanted and ask her if she could make the exact replica. And she really did! Her price was extremely reasonable, her vanilla cake with buttercream frosting was absolutely delicious, and her bubbly personality was truly a "cherry on top"! Thank you Nishat, I will definitely be ordering from you any and every time I need a cake.

    Even in a pandemic, they knocked it out of the park! I organized a remote birthday celebration for our 3rd grade teacher and the cupcakes were decorated beautifully and delivered on time. The communication was great and we got pictures texted to us. Payment was easy via Venmo. No reason to forgo celebrations when small businesses like this one can be safely supported! Our teacher emailed me to say they were delicious!!

    During shelter-in-place, I was limited in what I could do for my son's UCSB graduation. I ordered the covered Oreos with UCSB logos. Response time was good, pick up was easy, and they were delicious. They were perfect for the occasion.

    I was extremely impressed when I received my order. I ordered cupcakes with a UCI emblem on them (zot zot!) for a friend's graduation. They came out way cuter than I could have expected! The edible images were great quality and the cupcakes looked extremely professional! My friend loved the cupcakes and not only that, they were delicious too!! Nishat is super friendly and professional, would definitely order more in the future!

    One of the best cake decorators in the SFV!! I had an awful experience with a cake decorator before where I was extremely disappointed in the desserts I had ordered for a bridal shower so I was hesitant at first to try another cake decorator, but the owner, Nishat, really took the time to make sure that she understood the vision I had for the dessert table I wanted. She offered so many flavors and takes pride in what she makes. The prices were very reasonable and she even offered to deliver the desserts to me at a very low cost!! I was really happy with the quality in service I got and the desserts looked absolutely amazing. They were the hit of the party. I will definitely be using her for all future dessert needs as well as recommend her to all of my friends and family.

    Nishat is my favorite desserts go to! Look at the variety of her work. My family loved all of the treats she made not only because of how cute everything was, but because they tasted so good as well! I can't wait for my next event to see what else Nishat can come up with.

    First of all, these cakes are amazing in design and even better in taste! This business makes CUSTOM treats so it is required that you order ahead of time. With that said, it is totally worth it and if you need any sort of custom dessert/pastry made for a special occasion (or just for fun) this is your go to girl! I usually put my orders in with her a week in advanced and she delivers it to me in DTLA! Here is a picture of a cake she made for my nieces first birthday party!

    Let me just say, I'm a big fan of Frost It!…read more My hubby & I started coming here for their amazing cupcakes when they opened. Quickly, we became regulars. I can't even name all the flavors that we fell in love with, but red velvet, lemon, strawberry, salted caramel & chocolate peanut butter just to name a few. We were sad when we found out that they were transitioning from a cupcake store to a by-appointment cake shop, but I understood why. My husband & I vowed that when we got married, we would use them as our wedding cake baker. So, when we decided in July 2015 that we were getting married, we set out to make an appointment in a few months. Our appointment was scheduled for June 2016. Our friends who were visiting us, one of them was a bridesmaid, came with us for our cake tasting. My bridesmaid also paid for our wedding cake as a gift! I was blown away at such an extravagant gift ($800+)!!! We ordered for a 3 tiered ombré cake based on our wedding colors... sapphire, emerald & turquoise. The cake was supposed to be sapphire on the bottom tier & slowly transition to emerald & transition to turquoise. The flavors we picked were lemon, white velvet & chocolate. The cake was beautiful, but not quite the ombré cake I was expecting. There wasn't a seamless transition in color, which is what ombré cakes are known for. The flavors were right, but were not on the their assigned tiers. I didn't bother to complain as we were already on our honeymoon when we realized that our cake contract didn't match the cake we actually got. The cake was beautiful & delicious, so I didn't care at that point. Unfortunately, many guests didn't get the chance to even try out me cake as the cake cutting didn't happen until much later in the night & it started to get very cold. The venue saved most of our cake & we took part of it to eat with our of town family leaving the next day. They all commented that it had been one of the best cakes they've tried. So, nonetheless, I was still happy with the cake, even with the mistakes & that is my reason for 4 stars & not 5. Check out their Instagram page, you will get a much better idea of the kind of cake artistry they are capable of. Beware, you'll get hungry looking!

They used all of our reference photos and delivered the exact cake we expected. Not to mention how delicious and moist the flavors were! We went with a 3-tier cake for our fall wedding and decided on the white velvet with raspberry and white velvet with blackberry with salted caramel buttercream and then pumpkin spice with cream cheese buttercream and caramel drizzle on top. They really stood above their competition, we were so happy we found them!

Accidentally held one cupcake sideways just as I opened the door home, so the frosting got smushed but obviously didn't affect the flavor. I think this review will be heavily biased by user error thus the 5 stars though my feelings are more on 3 stars. Since we were all busy, we'd have to eat them around 10+ hours after buying and to make sure nobody accidentally ate them before my birthday; we stored them in the fridge instead of room temp which clearly did something to the frosting and cakes. Family's average favorites in order are red velvet, the confetti, cookies and cream, smores, and strawberry. The red velvet is pretty good, it's pretty rich and moist compared to the other cupcakes and the cream cheese frosting is so nice. S'mores has a strong dark cocoa flavor but also was dense and a little dry. Strawberry and confetti had nice fluffy frosting but due to the fridge mistake, it was kinda like eating chilled whipped butter. I strangely really enjoyed that. Confetti also felt and tasted like corn bread; I wasn't there to choose or see the flavors, but it was a fascinating surprise when I kept chewing and felt grit between my teeth. I didn't expect the birthday cupcake to taste like a southern take on fairy bread? But it isn't bad! Overall, I feel like they're a nice place for a little treat--the red velvet is definitely their signature for a reason. But for ~$7-10 a cupcake the flavors we chose seem to lack a reason to come back :( Unless you have dietary restrictions! I didn't try them but they have keto, vegan, and gluten free options; I know how hard it is to find a bakery that honors all 3. I also got my cupcake in one of those adorable birthday boxes (bearer of the unfortunate frosting carnage so no photo) but the butterfly is so cute! They're definitely worth a visit once, the bread puddings looked fun too, but unfortunately it seems the cupcakes are just not my cup of tea.

I found Cake and Love, saw the reviews and thought "why not?" I love supporting local small businesses. I knew the designs weren't up to par compared to other places, however I read that the cakes tasted really good. My friend Marc ordered them and requested 4 cupcakes but the owner said she could only do a dozen. The design requested for the cupcakes was to write the name on 4 and the rest with birthday + Halloween designs. And he ordered four different flavors. She had a week to prepare and offered to drop them off. Not only was she an hour late, but she practically rushed off without giving us a chance to look at the cupcakes to check them. You can only imagine our disappointment when we opened the box. It looked absolutely terrible, rushed and as if a child decorated these. These cupcakes were for an adult. The taste was just ok too. The chocolate cakes were mushy, the red velvet were dry and the other two were 'eh.' It was too late to find something else so we sucked it up and used them to sing happy birthday anyway. Regardless if there was any mis-communication, this is not acceptable. And I feel that we deserve a refund.

The space itself is chic and impossibly cute, a mini cafe that feels like a hidden boutique find, quaint in all the right ways. The croissants are the genuine article: buttery, flaky layers with that perfect golden exterior that only comes from someone who truly knows what they're doing. Every pastry here is crafted with care and it shows in every bite. And the mocha coffee? That alone is worth the trip. Rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced, it pairs beautifully with anything in the pastry case. The staff are warm and genuinely welcoming, making the whole experience feel personal rather than transactional. One thing to keep in mind: this is not a drive-through. It's a small owner-operated cafe where everything is made with intention. Come with time to spare, settle in, and let the experience unfold. Good things take time, and here that philosophy is baked right into everything they do. Yes, prices lean a bit higher than your average coffee shop, but this is quality you can taste. You're paying for authentic French technique that honors the tradition. La Princière is a Thousand Oaks treasure worth every unhurried minute.

I was asked to order a cake for a Retirement celebration. Ordering a large cake for a grand celebration put a lot of pressure on me. Costco is nice and the pricing is great, but it lacks the wow factor that I wanted for this special celebration. We had co-workers that were retiring after over 20 years of service, one retiree had over 50. So this cake had to be spectacular in looks and taste. After researching and reading many reviews, I decided to stop by and speak with Skiff to see what they offered. The minute you walk into their quaint bakery, it definitely felt unique and warm. Speaking with the gal behind the counter who assisted me in answering all my questions on the cake, pricing and decorations to make the cake look very classy and have the wow factor. I wanted whipped cream for the frosting, but was concerned that it might be too soft. I have had whipped cream that has a marshmallow texture and is not too sweet. This is exactly what was given to me to taste test. It was delicious. Since this was going to be for about 50 co-workers, we decided on a white cake, fresh strawberry, custard Bavarian cream with whipped cream. The decoration was subtle and classy with touches of gold and white chocolate as decoration on the cake. I decided to order cupcakes to bring home to try their flavors. Each cupcake was unique and so delicious. So I knew the cake was going to be amazing. Picking up the cake, they helped me to my car and ensured the cake was not going to slide around through the drive. How thoughtful. And of course, the cake did not disappoint. They had white shaved chocolates with gold touches to look like flowers in the corners of the cake. It was stunningly beautiful, classy and just so delicious. This is an amazing, unique wholesome bakery. I just hope they stay small, personable and special. I would highly recommend ordering any baking needs from Skiff's Cakes. You will not be disappointed and will have a wow factor for your guest to enjoy during any special occasion or gathering. Or even taking a dozen cookies or cupcakes to any gathering. They will up any spread to compliment both visually and taste that all will appreciate and enjoy. Thank you Skiff!! I am so glad that I have discovered a bakery that I can rely on for any bakery needs that I will need for the future. Attaching a picture of the cake but erased the names for privacy purposes. The picture does not justify the wow factor of this cake.
