    Our guests always love our cakes!
    Cassie B.

    Our first experience with Daphne was back in 2022. I had just graduated from nursing school, and wanted a themed cake for my party. We yelped and researched and came across DH cake studio, it was a plus that she is also a food network cake off champ! We ordered a smaller cake, white cake, with mango mousse. Ever since then we've been hooked. Second time was in 2024 for our sons first birthday. A boombox themed cake, black cake with cookies and creme. Most recently for our son's 2nd birthday, Jollibee themed, back to white cake with mango mousse per our son's request. I cannot stress how easy communication and the design process is. What I love is that Daphne is very communicative, if not through email, through texts. Her cakes are ALWAYS a hit in any age group. Their execution is flawless, and the cakes always taste amazing. To our Asian tongue "not too sweet!" She's a cake off CHAMPION for a reason.

    We were absolutely delighted with our experience ordering from DH Cake Studio. We ordered two cakes for our children, and they matched the inspiration photos I had shared to the dot. We were thoroughly impressed with the attention to detail. The cakes were light, fluffy, and perfectly balanced in sweetness. Most importantly, our kids loved them. Thank you, Daphne, for your exceptional work!

    Best custom bakery in town if not the entire Bay Area! I live in Oakland and get my custom cakes here - that's how good it is. Gorgeous cakes and delicious too - we're talking gourmet quality. I ordered the white cake with strawberry filling for my son's first birthday party and ordered the same design as my first son's birthday cake because that's how much I loved it (animal safari). It's a stunning addition to your party - pictures don't do justice to the level of detail Daphne applies to her works of art / cakes. Guests are still talking about the design and the taste - light, delicious, and just the right amount of sweet. This isn't your typical sugar saturated cake that makes you nauseous afterwards. You will not regret your decision, this cake is worth every penny. Just contact her well in advance because she books up fast!!!

    Sloppy work ..

    I was extremely disappointed with this cake. It was dry, tasted old, and the jam wasn't fresh at all. The decoration was sloppy--you could see folds and holes in the design, and it looked nothing like what I had asked for. What made it worse was being told last-minute (on the same day!) that there would be "slight changes," but the final result looked awful. I expected something beautiful for my 35th birthday cake, based on the promises made, but unfortunately, you did not deliver. I would never order a cake from your shop again, and highly recommend others to stay away. If you want something nice, move on to the next cake maker. After speaking to Daphne she did give me half my money back but I had no dessert for my special day and guests!

    Dumpling themed baby shower

    Daphne and team did such an amazing job on the custom cake I ordered for my friend's "dumpling themed" baby shower. I was desperately trying to find a bakery who could take a custom order on short notice when my other shop fell through, and Daphne responded so quickly! They were able to turn around the order with only 5 days of notice and totally saved me. The cake got SO many compliments on the day of and was legitimately delicious. Not too sweet, moist (but not wet), with a generous serving of cream and fruit inside. I had leftovers a few days later - still delicious! The team even provided instructions on how to properly cut and serve. Thanks DH!!! Would highly recommend.

    My daughter's beautiful 5th birthday cake. Lola said she had the perfect cake for her perfect birthday party!

    My 5 year old daughter picked an inspiration photo of a cake she wanted that was honestly disappointing to me but I didn't want to say no to her so I told her I will send the photo to the cake maker and she will put her creative twist on it. I asked DH Cake to make an elevated version of the cake picture we sent her and she fully delivered. I was blown away when I went to pick it up and my daughter and husband could not stop gushing over the cake when I brought it home. Of course all the guests could not speak enough praise about the beauty and the taste of the delicious cake. DH Cake did an impressive job packaging the cake as well. I had to transport the cake first to my house, then to the party venue and it traveled really well. We will definitely order more cakes for future events. Thank you very much!

    Hello Kitty 6" single tier heart shaped cake! Vanilla cake with green tea filling. Daphne has exceeded my expectations! She is truly talented & so so sweet! My cake's so beautiful that I had a hard time deciding to cut into it! Haha. Everyone who had a slice LOVED the cake. I personally never had a cake this amazing. The texture was AMAZING & the taste also AMAZING. I will most definitely order from Daphne again. Thank you!!! The best cake I ever had.

    The cake was delicious! As us Asians would say, "Not too sweet." Meaning the perfect amount of sweetness for our taste :D Daphne is incredibly responsive and easy to work with. This was my second birthday cake from her and it's been a pleasure each time. She is professional and kind. Will be back for more!

    My friends 50th birthday cake. I'm sorry I didn't get a better picture! It was beautiful.

    I had a cake lady that I ordered all my customized cakes from, but when I inquired for a cake for my friends birthday she told me she retired. I started yelping cake places in San Jose and found DH Cake Studio. I was not disappointed! Ordering the cake was easy and Daphne was very nice and provided so much information and asked questions to get the idea of what I was looking for! She was amazing! When Daphne brought the cake out I was speechless. It was beautiful and exactly what I had in mind. Every detail was carefully crafted. And the pricing was not bad for the quality of work! The cake was also super yummy! Light and not too sweet! Perfect! I've already reached out for my next order. Thank you Daphne!

    Cake for Baby shower
    Sandhya K.

    Daphne , delivered beyond and above with my baby shower cake . The execution and the details on the cake were beyond what I asked for ! I was simply thrilled with the final look . Also the cake tasted really good . Their popular mango mousse option is what I went with . Not very sweet and super soft even for tiered fondant cake ! Even the packaging to take it home was really well done .Would highly recommend !

    It's difficult to put into words how amazing the whole experience has been with DH Cake Studio. From the quick answer to my initial inquiry to the final delivery. I sent Daphne a picture of the cake I wanted for my son. The final product exceeded my expectations. It was actually better than the picture I sent. Everyone in my son's party commented on how amazing the cake was. We ordered white cake with mango filling. The cake did not only looked great, but it tasted great!, which is usually not expected with fondant covered cakes. Thank you DH Cake Studio for contributing to making my son's birthday party so special. You guys are very talented artists.

    I graduated last year and never had the chance to celebrate it yet. My family and I decided to celebrate it finally on March 5, 2022. One of the things I wanted/needed was a personalized, medical-themed cake for my dessert table. To be honest, I never ordered/bought cake before besides the pre-made cakes at Safeway, Walmart, or whatever. So, I was pretty new with the cake terms and whatnot. I shopped around local Southbay/Eastbay cake places on Yelp and Instagram. Finally, I came across DH Cake Studio. All her cake photos were so pretty, unique, cute, etc any definition you can think of !! She made and baked it all! I texted and emailed for a quote and described to her what I wanted and my vision of my cake. DH Cake Studio responded back in a very timely manner (a couple of hours later or even less) via text. Through text, DH Cake seemed attentive, patient, and detailed to what I was texting and wanting. Long story short, I decided to go with this place because it had a lot of reviews, pretty cake photos, really nice & unique cake designs, and SHE WENT ON FOOD NETWORK! In addition, my older sis and brother-in-law also really loved her work and had their vote on her too. I just had a feeling she wouldn't disappoint me and my cake will turn out exactly what I wanted. I did tell her that I trust her artistic and creative ability, so do whatever she needed to do to make my cake look nice/nicer- told her she can rearrange/add things if she needed as long as it doesn't change my medical theme & cost more money AS WELL change colors to anything on the cake as long as it fits the lavender, gold, and white color theme. The day before my party, she asked me what time I am planning to pick up my cake and sent me what my cake looked like. My first impression... OMFG it's so f'n PRETTY! My WHOLE FAMILY and I thought it was sooooo CUTEEEEE! It came out WAY NICER than we imagined and expected to be. We were speechless and were so happy with the cake. We will always come back and trust Daphne. Hands down she's the best ! YOU WON'T REGRET IT!

    This is the second time we have ordered a cake from Daphne. First cake for my daughters birthday and now for a wedding. The cake as usual has been the highlight, was delicious and everybody has been talking about it. Their communication is always clear and I love the way they provide instructions for every step to make sure the cake gets delivered perfectly. We always try to customize. My daughter wanted her LOL dolls on the cake and now it's our dogs we wanted. They find creative ways to manage our requests and I cannot recommend them enough.

I wanted a custom cake to match my daughter's Minnie's Boutique theme with specific colors and design details, and she made the process incredibly easy.

I shared an inspiration photo, and she recreated it beautifully while adding her own creative touch; it came out exactly how I envisioned. Not only did it look amazing, it tasted delicious. So many guests complimented the cake! Pricing was fair, pickup was smooth, and the packaging made it easy to transport and store before the party.

Caitlyn's Sweets not only met all those marks but exceeded them! I typically order from Linda's Bakery, but they weren't able to accommodate my wedding. So, based on a recommendation from another picky friend, I decided to take a chance on Caitlyn's. It was a complete blind purchase, and I couldn't be happier with the results. For our wedding, I ordered a three-tier durian cake with a simple matte black finish (my florist handled the flowers). Everyone was thoroughly impressed, and to my slight dismay, there wasn't a single slice left; a true testament to how delicious it was! I recently ordered a durian sheet cake because I had a craving and were going to be hanging out with friends that love durian. This time, I didn't have any specific decoration requests, simply telling them I was ordering it "just to eat." Eventually, I decided on telling them I wanted it black; that's all. I really appreciate and enjoy their style of decorating as it's more modern and with the times than those old school generic fruit or flowers decor. The care they put into packaging was evident; the cake came in a very tall box, ensuring it arrived in perfect condition, especially since some decorations were sticking up. The friends I was with said it was better than the wedding cake, noting it was even more moist. Considering their durian cake from my wedding left me dreaming about it, this recent order was an incredible bonus. If you're looking for an authentic and delicious durian cake, I highly recommend Caitlyn's Sweets. It's so good, I'd literally drive from Reno to San Jose just to satisfy a craving!

    You Guava be Kidding Me…read more A bakery and juicery that has been serving up delicious Colombian specialties since 1999 in Colombia, before emigrating to the US and opening up shop here in Cambrian Park in 2014. Milohas (mil hojas) means a thousand layers in Spanish, and one taste of Milohas' pastries will make you understand why they picked that moniker. The Good: * Large shared parking lot * Friendly service * Covered outdoor dining * The crust of the empanadas was buttery, flaky, and delicious. All the fillings were good, but you have to try the Hawaiian filling! It was truly fantastic and had us wishing that's all we'd ordered. * Guava Finger has the same perfect crust and tasty guava jam--I could eat a dozen of these and come back for more. *oink oink* * Carissa really enjoyed their lentil soup. I didn't try it, so I can't comment. The Meh: * I kind of prefer the chunks of meat in Peruvian empanadas to the ground meat in Colombian ones, but that's just a personal preference. It was still delicious, so at the end of the day, it's all academic. The Ugly: * No indoor dining, and outdoor dining is limited to only a handful of seats. Conclusion: We've been on the hunt for the best empanadas in the South Bay, and we finally found them.

    Finally tried Milohas as they've been on my list for a while and have a lot of great reviews. Oh…read moreman, was I disappointed. Ordered two empanadas: Spinach & Cheese and a Chicken & Potato. I wanted to get some desert items but they seemed to have very few things to choose from. I would have asked questions but inside the store was strangely loud and the woman who helped me was a low talker so I couldn't understand anything she was saying to me as it was. The empanadas are pretty large, as are the prices. $17 for the two. At this price point I was glad I decided not to buy more. Each comes with a tiny side of aji green sauce. They could have been more generous here. I found the spinach to be very salty and more breading than filling. The chicken one was a letdown. Chicken was lacking any flavor. For both the pastry was dry. Was only able to eat half of each and threw the rest away. Not really the kind of place you dine in for. You order at the counter and there is limited seating inside (in a way that makes you not want to dine in), and a few seats outside. Plenty of parking in the shopping center lot. This visit and subsequent review makes me feel sad. I want to support these unique, independent eateries but they make it difficult when the quality doesn't meet the high cost. Improvements would be to reevaluate their recipes, make the pastries less dry and dense, and maybe don't be so skimpy on the fillings.
