I pride myself on being a terrific and creative gift-giver especially for birthdays. It is a…read morespecial super skill I have where I can find a rare item that someone has desired their entire life or have the foresight to know what a person needs before they even know it, themselves. I just love to make people feel special! My boyfriend's 41st birthday was quickly approaching and I had the idea to supplement his gifts with life themed cookies: those royal icing decorated cookies that are the rage at events in the vein of a cookie per life moment or characteristic of my boyfriend (who is a twin, by the way!). I wanted to 'shop local' and reached out in one of my neighborhood Facebook groups looking for an artisan, local baker/bakery who does this sort of thing. Receiving a few responses, it was The Sugar'd Whisk that stood out and I immediately knew I had to hire Lexi, the owner/operator/baker/decorator. The Sugar'd Whisk is a cookie and cake company that you would see on those competition shows on Food Network or Netflix creating the most gorgeous and elevated or charming and delightfully decorated cookies and cakes for events, birthdays, weddings, baby and wedding showers, gender reveals, grad parties and just about whatever! Lexi is amazingly skilled and is up to date with the most modern trends or classic styles. Just browse her gallery of work and you will be blown away. There is nothing she can't do. I contacted The Sugar'd Whisk per her website where you can fill out an inquiry form (please AT LEAST 2 weeks ahead - I did a month prior to my boyfriend's birthday!) and decided on a dozen cookies where you can choose 3 -4 designs ($60 but $80 for my order because I received more designs). This wasn't necessarily what I had in mind because I wanted a cookie per life event but I addressed in the form that I am willing to meet in middle, pay more, etc. Lexi personally texted me immediately and then proceeded to set up a phone meeting in which we discussed the idea and themes and she even agreed to up the number of designs if possible while doing research on the decorated images I preferred. The Sugar'd Whisk kept me in loop regarding research and her timeline (Lexi is a very busy lady with customers and that is no surprise!) and texted back and forth about ideas and was very patient to find a way to make me happy. The next step was an email proposal agreement contract and my payment which I made through Zelle. When the day arrived to pick up the cookies from The Sugar'd Whisk; I met Lexi outside her apartment building (She bakes from home which is even more impressive that she can do this outside of a commercial kitchen!) and she was all smiles and super friendly. I was absolutely blown away by the cookies! Perfection is an understatement! Not only were they exactly the images I wanted but the icing work was beautiful and artistically talented! The Sugar'd Whisk is amazing and worth every cent! My boyfriend and I went away for the weekend for his birthday and I set up the cookies for him to wake up to and The Sugar'd Whisk (and me for having the idea) knocked the ball out of the park like Shohei Ohtani! He said this was one of, if not THE, best and most personalized gift he has ever received and he too was amazed by the skill of The Sugar'd Whisk! This is a huge compliment as he is a creative and artist by profession. But that isn't the end of the wonderful experience. We still have to discuss the taste! These cookies are THICK so I was slightly worried they would be either too sweet or too bland and flour-y but no! The Sugar'd Whisk has the perfect recipe of not-to-sweet and not too powdery cookies with a blend of tasting like a sugar cookie and butter cookie. My boyfriend was in love with them and even I, who is Celiac and can't consume gluten, couldn't keep myself from eating some of these delicious cookies! The Sugar'd Whisk is an absolute win in every category: local business, customer service, talented decoration, flavor and price (they are priced lower than some of the competitors while being much more upscale!). I will without a doubt return to The Sugar'd Whisk for my cake and cookie needs and recommend it for anyone and everyone!

Lexi was super helpful, attentive, patient, and provided excellent feedback when trying to make a decision for the theme. I got red velvet with vanilla for both cupcakes and cake pops. The other flavor was vanilla with cookie butter. This one had a subtle flavor of cookie butter that didn't overwhelm me with sugar. The rest of the set was packed with flavor and tasteful. The cool thing too was that for the cake pops it could come with edible images, which I did. It is a bit more for it but worth the price. Thank you so much for the smooth transaction and helpful feedback that went with my themed party.

What a super-nice experience at Cake N Bake!…read more The family has been craving cake for a couple days. I haven't done much baking because of the sweltering heat in SCV. I mentioned seeing Cake N Bake on Yelp a few weeks ago and the daughter went into a rabbit hole. She read reviews, looked at pictures and found TikTok videos. We're so glad to have finally taken the quick drive to Sun Valley. You can't miss the elegantly simple white building just before the corner of Vineland and Saticoy. We had a pretty good idea of our choices, but it was fun to look at all the tempting flavors. We chose... Dot Cake Birdie Tiramisu Vanilla-Crunchy Hazelnut Choco-Crunchy Hazelnut Choco-Nutella Banana Pudding Pear Our daughter could not wait to dive into the Dot Cake and she absolutely loved it. It was fresh with a wonderfully tender and moist crumb. The frosting was perfectly sweet. My husband had his favorite Tiramisu. He was very quiet as he devoured it. :) I had the Birdie slice. Beautifully layered with honey and custard, then topped with dark chocolate. All the flavors were distinct, yet all came together deliciously. We saved the rest for later....just not sure how much later. :) Excellent service today from the young lady in the super-cute denim outfit. We'll be back to try more flavors!
