We totally had a lovely time with this cake. On a pretty short notice I went on a search for who…read morecould handle my requests for my partner's birthday and surely Cristal came through with the clutch. I saw some amazing pictures here on Yelp so I went to find the social media page as well and saw even more amazing artwork thst she calls cakes. I always have to say this, I cook and bake as well. I could be a baaaaad somebody if I had good decoration skills. So my critiques come from a place of "I know how to do that".... First of all from the moment she answered the phone her warm customer service aura radiated. I was hooked. Instead of her telling me it's short notice and what she can't do she LISTENED to what I wanted so that we can figure out what she CAN do. I saw something on her page that represented the birthday boy, a little bit of royalty, and pride and she said was feasible given the time. So we pressed go. The communication of her process was way above expectations and we together set a standard of what was acceptable. Take a look at my attached pics for a glimpse. It was tasty, spiked, and on time. I can't wait to work on another project and include one of her cakes. Also let's mention I live in Atlanta and was treating my boo to a surprise birthday. Please check out all of her work and indulge.

I rarely leave reviews, but after my experience at Lola The Baker in Miami, I felt it was…read moreabsolutely necessary. From start to finish, this was one of the most disappointing bakery visits I've ever had. First, the service was a complete disaster. When I walked in, I wasn't greeted at all. The staff behind the counter looked annoyed that I was even there, and when I finally got their attention, it felt like I was bothering them by asking questions about the pastries. No smiles, no customer service, just pure attitude. For a bakery that seems to market itself as "boutique" and "specialty," I expected a welcoming vibe and knowledgeable staff. Instead, it was cold and unprofessional. The display case looked nice from far away, but when I got closer, many of the pastries looked old, like they had been sitting out for hours--if not days. I ordered a few different items just to give them a fair chance, and honestly, none of them were good. The croissant was dense and greasy instead of light and flaky. The cake slice I tried was dry and tasted like it came out of a box. Even the coffee was bitter and watered down at the same time, which makes me wonder how you can mess up something that basic. To make matters worse, the prices are ridiculous for what you get. I don't mind paying extra for high quality, but this was nowhere near high quality. Charging premium prices for stale, poorly made pastries is insulting. When I politely asked about the freshness of the items, the staff brushed me off and gave me an attitude instead of answering honestly. Cleanliness was another issue. The tables were dirty, and nobody seemed in a rush to wipe them down. The bathroom (which I unfortunately had to use) was in terrible condition--dirty sink, no paper towels, and it smelled awful. That told me everything I needed to know about how much care they actually put into their business. The final straw was when they got my order wrong and acted like it was my fault. I ordered one item, they gave me another, and when I pointed it out, they argued with me instead of simply fixing it. No apology, no attempt to make it right. Just attitude. At that point, I decided it wasn't even worth fighting over. Overall, Lola The Baker was a complete letdown in every possible way: poor service, overpriced food, lack of cleanliness, and an overall unwelcoming atmosphere. There are so many amazing bakeries and cafés in Miami that actually care about their customers and serve fresh, delicious food--this place is absolutely not one of them. I will never return, and I strongly recommend that anyone looking for good pastries or a pleasant experience steer clear of this spot. Save your time, money, and patience, and go somewhere else.

TLDR: delicious custom cakes that will make any birthday or special occasion!…read more------ Super easy to communicate with / via text. I ordered, Venmoed my mula and waited for delivery. Admittedly I was a little last minute so the fact Lola handled my request with such short turn around is amazing. Got my order on Tuesday for Saturday and was able to pull it off. A custom cake in the shape of a corgi butt. Yes weird request. However, the birthday girl loves corgis - and she loved the cake. Cookie dough with vanilla cake was an excellent flavor combo. It tastes even better the next day as i devoured everything that was left. Takes cookie butter mixed with butter cream for the filling. The cake was moist and delicious. Will certainly reach out again for another unique creation!

11/2020 I learned…read moreabout Mari Pops through word-of-mouth around my job. She is a self-taught cake artist. And by following her on instagram, I could tell why her reputation had became well known through our entire workplace. Mari left her job to pursue her passion of making our lives sweeter. She is very active on the social medias, specifically on instagram. At this time, she is only taking orders via DMs...instagram.com/maripops_ Products: If you can dream it, Mari Pops can make it! All I have to do is share with her my what I have in mind and let her creativity do the rest. Mari Pops products usually includes custom cakes, cupcakes, cake pops, chocolate covered strawberries, pretzels and oreos...you name it. She have a list of scrumptious cake flavors but again she is open to creating the flavor you crave. My son loves chocolate and nutella and ofcourse Mari was able to come up a combination that was so bomb! From the icing, to the filling and the cake itself...it was heavenly. She also experiments on new desserts that is why I tune in to her instagram page every day. For my mother's 64th birthday, I wanted something different and classy and vibrant, just like my mama. Mari created a 64 number cake with dulce de leche and the most springy toppings you've ever seen...including some macarons! The entire thing was divine and my mom was so surprised when Mari delivered the cake to her house. Service: Mari is a true professional. She communicates with you every step of the way from your cake concept, flavor, decor, and price. She is open to any ideas and it always comes out better than you could ever picture. She had been our go-to cake artist for several years now and her creations only gets better and better. Mari is often fully booked for months at a time. But despite that, she would always acknowledge my inquiries and get back to me whether if she could squeeze me in or not. Mari also offer both pick up and delivery as she understands the needs of her clients. Overall, there are main cake artist out there but MariPops is one of a kind. She has sent from the sweet-heaven above and we are better people for it. She had been making lives sweeter with her delightful and artistic confections for several years. This is definitely a local business that I support 100%. She puts her clients needs first and its just so refreshing to work with. Her price points is fair and she also gives me more bang for my buck! She cares about the community and often contributes to local fundraising events such as the Breast Cancer Awareness and United Way. She even host giveaways for her followers on instagram. She supports and promotes other local businesses on her page and it's nice to see how they empower one another. Try her, you won't regret it.

Most recently, she made my son's baptism cake on short notice, and it came out absolutely beautiful. Not only was the cake gorgeous and full of detail, but it tasted amazing too. We received so many compliments, and people kept asking where it was from. You can really tell she puts her heart into her work and cares about making each cake special. I'm so grateful for her talent, patience, and willingness to always come through, even when I'm scrambling at the last minute. If you need a cake for any celebration, I highly recommend Divine Sweets. You will not be disappointed!

I'm sharing this to help others make an informed decision. I began communicating with her about two…read moreweeks before the event, but communication throughout the process was very inconsistent. I chose to move forward based on the work shown on her social media, but unfortunately, what I received felt rushed and did not reflect the quality I expected. Several details did not match what was discussed. Fake flowers were used, the cake was pink instead of the agreed brown, and some of the flowers appeared to be spray-painted rather than using the intended colors. The cardstock was also peeling, which affected the overall presentation. I understand that things can get busy, but taking on work and delivering below expectations is disappointing. I would recommend confirming all details clearly and ensuring consistent communication before moving forward.
