The canvas is a creamy white frosting, the base wrapped with flowing grass icing and white and yellow flower fondant. A classic whimsical Winnie and Piglet are nestled in the grass. As you make your way to the top of the cake, there's a "Hunny" jar with overflowing honey icing spilling over the side, and little fondant bees enjoying the bountiful honey. Perched at the top next to the honey jar is a chocolate yellow honeycomb, a perfect touch to this artful cake. The cake was an absolute hit with guests, and a perfect centerpiece. Then it came time to cut the cake... which felt so wrong but also so so right. The cake cut smoothly and was impeccably moist. Inside was a chocolate cake with a chocolate mousse filling. It was as lovely and delicious on the inside as it appeared on the outside. Infinity out of 10, can't recommend Marvel Cake enough! Great communication with Maryam, on-time pickup the morning of our event, and the price was very reasonable. If you're in the Campbell / San Jose area and looking for a custom cake, look no further! Marvel is the best there is!

The Paris Brest was my favorite of the four! The service was friendly and helpful, and the shop has cute indoor seating that makes it a nice spot to enjoy dessert. While the prices are a bit on the higher side, the quality makes it worthwhile. Overall, a great spot for pastries and desserts. I've visited Marvel a couple times with my family now.

Holy moly, why didn't anyone clue me into this place?! This is a true Parisian patisserie unassumingly on the corner of Meridian and Hamilton in a fairly rundown strip mall. It's a tiny shop with barely any seating, so plan to take your bounty home with you. The butter croissants (the only way to measure) are crisp, flaky heaven. They have a spread of other pastries but it's hard to choose anything different. Dare I say my favorite croissant in the South Bay, and reasonably priced too! Cherry on top is that they serve Chromatic Coffee, and the lattes are excellent. It's a new weekend staple for us.

I also thought it was really sweet. How this quaint little shop had a bunch of regulars in it!! As I entered, the gentleman behind the register greeted me and another customer came in and he knew that Customer by me. So cute!! I will definitely be back here again to get some more pastries at such a great pre-pandemic price!! I hope they start making sandwiches or other types of food items!!

It's kind of hard to explain and I don't expect people to be bubbly and over the top all the time as long as they do their things. I got some cookies and 3 cakes to go. When I got home I realized that one cake was missing so I went back and got the missing cake no problem but then they seemed like they don't care about me or the service they provide or anything. Completely check out maybe idk I just felt weird. Or maybe they didn't want to be there because it was a holiday evening. I liked all the cakes and I loved the cookies, they were so good. Easy 5 stars but then I am not sure if I like to go back there anytime soon...

But my last visit had me wondering what happened! The quality and consistency are completely different. The breads used to be beautiful and a good size, but now they're practically half the size, and no two are alike. One Sangak might be 2 feet long and the next 1 1/2 feet. And the pastries I bought two of the exact same pastry and they reminded me of the movie Twins with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito supposedly twins, but one was literally almost twice the size of the other! Everything just seems mismatched lately, and unfortunately the quality isn't what I remember either. I really love this bakery and hope they bring back the consistency,, and quality that made me keep coming back.

I came here around 11:30am on Tuesday. The parking lot outside was empty and I didn't see any other customers inside. When I first went in, I was impressed by how pretty and peaceful their outdoor patio was. I thought if their food was good, I wouldn't mind coming back and dining here. Their cake and bakery items inside the display cases looked pretty standard. They have shelves of other goodies for sale as well. When I got home and opened the container, I thought I was given some kind of briyani, which was not bad. However, I was pretty disappointed by the texture and taste. Also, there was no meat inside, just very small bits of vegetables. It was like a very moist, almost mushy, rice pilaf that wasn't very flavorful. Due to the low food quality, I probably won't come back again.

I filled out the form on their website a couple of weeks before my husband birthday, and noticed that their prices had increased recently. The regular 6" black sesame blueberry hojicha cost $55. Megan responded in email within 2 days as expected. Her payment instructions were very clear, and we agreed to meet at their designated community park at 10am on Sunday. (They would also do delivery with an additional cost.) An hour before our meeting time, she sent a text with the make/model/color of their car, as well as, some dessert care instructions. They arrived on time. The cake was carefully packaged and included a "Happy Birthday" paper topper. The cake was really good. It was fresh and airy; the black sesame taste really stood out; the blueberry jam was delicious and not too sweet; the hojicha fresh cream was light and flavorful. While we all really enjoyed the cake, it's very pricey, and it's a 20-min drive from home to pick it up at one of the two time choices.
