    Truck Cupcakes
    Jennica J.

    Elite Baking is my absolute favorite bakery. Anu is a completely lovely person and a true confectionary artist. We have work events every couple of months at my work and Anu has made us some truly beautiful creations. All I've had to do was send her a couple of idea photos and she takes it from there. Her creations are not only beautiful they're absolutely melt in your mouth delicious as well. Check out her Instagram for more pictures of all the cakes and cupcakes and deliciousness she's baked for others. I'm so grateful to have found this amazing baker for all my events

    Pokemon Birthday Cake

    Amazing Pokemon Cake for my twins 9th birthday! My kids were so excited. Anu was great to work with and incorporated all the details we wanted. My kids love the chocolate chip banana cake flavor! Everyone at the party thought the cake was delicious and looked incredible; they were all asking where we got it - I told them Elite Baking is the best! I have used Elite baking for 3rd and 5th birthday before and every time has been outstanding. Thank you so much!!

    I wish I could give her 5 stars but unfortunately I can't. I ordered a cake and 4 dozen sports theme cake pops for my son's first birthday. Sent lots of photos of what I was expecting. The communication was great- and the cake was great..but ultimately I've decided to take a couple of stars off for the cake pops. They didn't look professional at all..and i was disappointed when I saw them. Several of them were even cracked...see pics. I've seen pics of her other work, and they look great so not sure what happened with my order. I wish she would have told me she couldn't do them instead of accepting my order.

    I had two cakes made for my daughter's first birthday. They are absolutely delicious and done above and beyond expectations. I'm so grateful to Elite Baking for helping make her birthday a success!

    We ordered a Pokémon-themed cake for our 6-year-old's birthday, and despite the short notice, she did an incredible job. She was extremely accommodating and never made us feel like our last-minute request was an inconvenience. She carefully followed all our design ideas and brought them to life beautifully. The cake looked fantastic and tasted just as good--both kids and adults loved it! I highly recommend her for specialty cakes. This review may be a bit late, but I didn't want to miss the chance to share how wonderful our experience was.

    Ordering was simple and straightforward and I think the photos speak for themselves. Beautifully made, owner helped me transport it safely as well. Will be calling back for other kids.

    The cake was beautiful and delicious! Responses and updates on the cake were pretty quick. Would definitely order again for another occasion :)

    I found Elite Baking because I needed something right away and she was all I could find locally, but I'm glad I did. I ordered a 50th Birthday cake and it turned out beautiful and delicious (we ordered marble). The only negative is that it was pricier than my normal go to baker. I would definitely recommend her for delicious cakes and will order from her again.

    Anusha was so easy to work with. Quick response time, and made the cake exactly what I wanted. Cake was also really good!

    Oh my goodness!!! These are the most amazing cupcakes I've ever seen. Easy order, communication, & pick up. Our group didn't want to ruin the intricate decorations, but had to give in and bite in eventually!!!.. DIVINE ...Elite Bakery is soooo talented! You will fall in love with her creations! ENJOY

    My gosh! On Thursday my brother told me he didn't get cupcakes for my nieces 18th bday dinner Sat. I contacted Elite Bakery as soon as they opened. The only request I had was red is my nieces favorite color and due to cost of the cupcakes I asked for half floral and half regular decorated. I got strawberry flavor. She finished the cupcakes before requested 2pm time. We were allllll blown away and the cake itself was delicious!!!! Service was above expectation!!! I'm so glad I found her on Yelp! We also got one vanilla with strawberry filling and that was delicious too!

    I highly recommend Elite baking. She did a fantastic job with my son's birthday cake, dinosaur cupcakes, and dinosaur cake pops. Everyone at the party was amazed with the chocolate lava Dino cake. She went above and beyond my expectations. Everything was perfect and delicious. I have used several other bakeries and she is by far The best. She even gave us free, delicious brownies.

    Amazing!! Couldn't recommend more. Great communication, great quality and fair pricing. The mini cupcakes were a hit!

My name was spelled properly, a short conversation reassured my dessert choice, and as I walked up to retrieve my dessert, the lady met me halfway with a smile (thank you for wrapping so it didn't fall over). The smallest of gestures and niceties are what make leaving the house worth it. GIANDUIA. This cake is nothing you can be prepared for, yet everything you need without setting expectations. The boysenberry was the perfect separation for the waves of chocolate and the subtle crunch of the hazelnut toffee type of layer on the very top. The chocolate mousse was the exact mouth feel needed to separate the rich layers of chocolate cake. I saw, I conquered, and I was yet again impressed by what Extraordinary Desserts so purposefully and gracefully offered.

I got my usual plain croissant, buttery and flaky, and a chocolate croissant, bittersweet chocolatey goodness. The Crookie caught my eye, a salted chocolate chip cookie wrapped in a croissant.

Parking can be a bit hard here, there is a parking lot next door to it but you have to pay and their minimum was $25. So if you can find street parking snag it right away.

I wanted to try a couple of different croissants so we ordered the plain, chocolate and ham and cheese. I wish I asked them to warm up the ham and cheese. I think it would've turned out better. I really enjoyed the chocolate and my boyfriend enjoyed his plain croissant. The team here is very attentive. They definitely clean the tables right away ready for the next patron which I appreciate. Great spot to try while visiting San Diego.

    5/11/2026 CHOCO CHIP…read morePISTACHIO COOKIE Wow! This was reeeeally good! It was crispy on the outside and slightly chewy on the inside. Lots of chocolate and I think they added toffee in it too. The middle section had pistachio frangipane (or it looked like it) with coarsely chopped pistachios that brought another layer of crunch! Then to top it all off, it had pistachio cream on top of the cookie! I only wish I got another one. CAPPUCCINO It was okay. But love the foam! It was frothy and foamy! PAVLOVA The meringue was a bit too hard and too sweet and the pastry cream was overwhipped. Loved the fresh fig and blueberries though. I was looking forward to eating pavlova and this was very disappointing! KOUIGN AMANN Very buttery and sticky! Crispy on the outside. Every bite was not dry, but chewy. There was this sticky and chewy texture that wasn't unpleasant, yet it wasn't fully flaky like a croissant. But glad it was not dry! The kouign amann was not as tall like others I've tried, but I preferred it this way because it was not dry. The last kouign amann I had from Bread Lounge was dryyyy. But bought mine at a coffee shop too. PAIN AU CHOCOLAT Crispy on the outside, but I must have toasted a bit more, so the outside was a bit more toasted than desired. Inside was good. Good dark chocolate. BUTTER CROISSANT Really buttery, flaky, crispy! Ate it next day, so reheated it in the toaster oven to bring a more crispness all around. Really enjoyed this! Adding butter and jam is so good! LEMON MERINGUE Meringue had a strong eggy smell and flavor, the lemon was tangy, but not enough to rid of the eggy smell and flavor. The tart was hard and almost stale. I took a few bites and threw the rest out. PAIN SUISSE Chocolate flavor. Crispy on the outside, fluffy like a light spongy cake inside. Enjoyed this! CUSTOMER SERVICE Got there early afternoon. There was only one person in front of me. Good service overall. Quick service. Hits and misses of the various pastries I've tried. It will not deter me from trying their pastries though, as the really good ones were really good! Would love to return! Especially for that Choco Chip Pistachio Cookie! LOCATED INSIDE ANOTHER STORE Located inside a store called Floral Palette, which is a floral shop and specialty gift store. Beautiful store! The sign is big, so you cannot miss it!
