    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.

    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.

    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.

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

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

    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

    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 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!

    Smash Cake

    I contacted Elite Baking at the very last minute, and she was incredibly accommodating and kind. She made cupcakes and a smash cake for my son's first birthday on short notice, and she truly was a lifesaver. The cupcakes tasted delicious, and the smash cake was absolutely perfect for my one-year-old. My family loved everything. I'm so grateful for the help and would definitely recommend her and use her services again.

    Anu communicated with me well, and was very receptive to my specific design requests. My guests enjoyed the different flavors of cake/cupcakes including: carrot, chocolate peanut butter chip, strawberry, chocolate, and Hazelnut almond. The only suggestion would be to have the cupcake types labeled, although based on my selections, it was easy to tell which were which. The pricing was reasonable given the size of cakes ordered and design requests. We were able to get closer to 30 servings of cake out of each one. I would consider getting treats from Elite Baking again. A big plus for being available during the holiday season/end of year.

    I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for the wonderful cake you made for our daughter's first birthday celebration. It was absolutely beautiful and exceeded our expectations in terms of design and presentation. The attention to detail was impressive, and it was clear that a lot of care went into crafting it. Not only did it look amazing, but it also tasted delicious! You are going to be the go to person for all celebrations ahead!

    Green ombré cake w/ gold topper (out of box)

    I've ordered two cakes from this bakery, and both were absolutely incredible. The custom designs were spot‑on, the flavors were delicious, and they ended up being total crowd‑pleasers for my guests (and for me!). I also really appreciate their quick turnaround and flexibility with short notice. Highly recommend to anyone looking for beautiful, delicious custom cakes.

    Still my go to place when I'm craving something sweet and special. Their cakes may be pricey, but…read morein my opinion, for the amount of work, effort, and quality of ingredients, I think they continue to be fair. For example, some other specialty bakeries/shops are charging similar prices for cakes and cheesecakes that are much simpler. In comparison, Extraordinary Dessert cakes take 3-4 days to make, have 6-8 alternating layers, and are typically adorned with edible gold and/or flowers. The key is to find which items you like and which are okay to pass on next time. What we ried this time: -Match Misu Cake (7/10): ricotta cake layers soaked in matcha and layered with marscapone whipped cream. This one was pretty good and ranks in my middle to high range. I only wish there was more matcha flavor (maybe if you dine in and get the sauce, this would help) or the matcha was paired with another flavor ... either go fruity (maybe a raspberry sauce, strawberry pieces, white peach pieces, or like a peach oolong cream layer) or go chocolately/coffee (maybe had some crushed up chocolate covered espresso beans). My go to's: -Ivoire Royale (10/10) - my ultimate favorite still. If you like light desserts, white chocolate, berries, and moist vanilla cake, thus one is for you. Classy and unpretentious -Shangrila (10/10) - my other favorite and will make you feel like a princess with all the pink chocolate curls. A little bit adventurous and innocently elegant. Ones to skip: -Au Chocolate / La Bete Noire / Dame Chocolate - get the Viking instead. That's my favorite of all their chocolate cakes -Lemon ricotta - get the Passionfruit Ricotta instead -Torta misu - the matcha misu is better. The tortilla misuse made me want a regular piece of tirmaisu than a cake version -Coconut cream - not bad, not amazing though

We politely asked if it would be possible to purchase a small cup of fruit , even just a couple strawberries cut up, because one child in our group cannot have sweets due to very strict dietary restrictions . Instead of simply saying they were unable to accommodate the request or offering another option, we were told to "go somewhere else," despite already spending the amount we did . The complete lack of professionalism and basic customer service was honestly shocking. It's disappointing to be treated that way at a place we have supported so consistently. This place has been going downhill , management for this place needs to step up .

Flour Atelier is a small bakery right next to the hovering Mitsuwa. They carry two refrigerated sections' worth of original treats and pastries, many with Asian flavors such as their ube leche flan and calamansi cheesecake. I'm a gluten free girly nowadays, but when I could eat their desserts I did love their cheesecake: a balance of cream-to-crust is important to me. And those flavors? Standout. Hard to find many other places. They also have tea and coffee, and my husband and I LOVE their hojicha latte, which boasts a nice earthy-to-sweet ratio. If you want a grounded flavor without getting another coffee, try the hojicha latte! The store itself is quite small, selling sweet treats, drinks, and even flowers through a collaboration with a florist. They have about 4 tables outside -- recommended for small parties, unless you come when it's empty with a group. BIG TIP: Bring your mother or mother-in-law here to impress -- that is, if she likes cute, sweet treats and a tea party vibe! My mom always loves coming here, and bringing the whole family, too Keep up the great work Flour Atelier!

I saved the rest of the pastry for later since I was still full from my cream puffs. I did try a piece and it was perfection! I chugged down my delicious iced drink as we sat outside. My son told me their most popular pastry is a Calamansi cake, which sells out quickly. Would love to try one of those.

    Yiko Yiko has some of the best desserts in SD, especially when it comes to their mochi!…read more We've tried quite a few of their mochi snowball options, and they're always so chewy, soft, and flavorful. The fruit flavors are also made with fresh fruit, which is a plus. We stop by sometimes to pick up a box of 4-6 as gifts for our friends, and it's always a hit. Their crepe cakes are also really tasty and not too sweet. We really like the basque, vanilla, and strawberry flavors. The desserts here are a bit on the pricier side, but the quality and presentation are worth the splurge.

    Had a chance to check out Yiko Yiko after hearing lots about it and honestly, I had a feeling that…read moretheir products would be a on the pricier side. Many reviews have noted this, and I would have to agree, especially for the size (crepe cake slices) and/or simple design (two layer naked cakes). We ended up trying a slice of their taro crepe cake. It was tasty - light, smooth, and included real taro - and had alternating layers of cream and taro; however, we were surprised with how small it was in person (vs photos) for $12.50 before tax. This is just below the price for an Extraordinary Desserts cake slice, which is not only bigger and more complex, but also made fresh. We noticed the crepe cake slice we got had that dusting of ice sparkles, indicating it was frozen and defrosting, and additionally, as it defrosted, the more it started leaning. If you haven't tried Yiko Yiko, it's worth still checking out. That said, I think you'll be satisifed after one or two visits.

Lines are always better with a friend and even though we all arrived before opening there was still a healthy line. I was really excited, to finally get to check them out, I saw on their socials that a new chef had taken residency and that they came with some Filipino flair. As a fellow Filipino I definitely wanted to support. I ended up ordering a lumpia roll, ube butter ensaymada, a halo halo tart and a egg sando sandwich along with an iced matcha with honey, with tip my total was $48, which isn't horrible considering these are meant to be higher quality pastries. My girlfriends and I found a table and decided we would share, I shared my egg sando sandwich and the lumpia roll, while they shared their ube butter ensaymada and the turon kouign amann. My matcha, was a horrible, it was a muddy green and really lacked any matcha flavor, my friend didn't like her matcha either and she had the miso caramel matcha. I didn't even finish my matcha and I can really take one down. We joked about how we should have opted for the orange juice instead. Now for the pastries, I was really underwhelmed by them, the ensaymada was just fine, I honestly cannot remember the taste of it, it lacked something. The egg sando sandwich, the filling was plentiful and flavorful BUT the bread was dry, was that potato bread? The texture was off for me and I ended up just scooping out the filling and eating it like that. Where the sando had a good amount of filling the lumpia roll lacked it, it was so sparse I figured it would be more like a sausage roll so I was taken aback by how little there was in it. Flavors were fine, the pastry was buttery but I just wanted a little more. The one pastry we agreed was better than the rest was the turon kouign amann, the crunchy bits of sugar was so reminiscent of turon but the filling, for me was like uncooked banana bread batter, that threw me off entirely. It was better, but not the filling. So overall, I would say it was okay, I guess for the costs it just didn't meet my expectations.
