    The Toy Story themed cake up close!
    May V.

    Niloofar, the owner of Emma Cakery, is the only person I ever reach out to for any event where I need a cake. She is an extraordinary baker and designs cakes and several other desserts beautifully. You can really see that she takes her time and bakes with love. Not only are her cakes beautifully designed but they are also super yummy and tasty. She lets you choose from a variety of unique flavors/fillings, so you're not stuck with basic flavors. Alongside her talents in being a baker, Niloofar is very professional and provides superb customer service. She ensures that her customer's are 100% satisfied because I definitely always am. She's always so patient with me, because whenever I have any cake inquiries, I tend to bombard her with a bunch of questions, and she is always so sweet no matter how many questions I have for her. For every inquiry, the cake I ask for is exactly what I get from her. She's always spot-on with all the details! So far, Niloofar has done a cake + cookies + cupcakes for both my son's baptism and first birthday. She also has done a cake for my son's cake smash photo shoot. She also did a cake for my 21st birthday. As you can tell, I can count on her for all my cake needs and she never lets me down. Rest-assured, quality is always there, both outside and inside of the cake... and of course in the baker herself. I highly recommend Niloofar also known as "emma_cakery" to anyone who needs a cake and other desserts for any event!

    In the past year we've had several cakes made by Niloofar at Emma Cakery & every single experience has been nothing but amazing. Her attention to details, her artwork and the wonderful taste of her cakes are what makes us go back to her over & over again.

    I'm living in Los Angeles and I had baby shower in San Jose ,so we had to choose bakery over there,i was so lucky that I found Emma Cakery, price is reasonable and taste is great,and the most important thing was she had good attention for the details that I was requested. Highly recommend.

    Best Birthday Cake I've ever tasted

    I ordered my birthday cake from Emma Cakery. Not too sweet, it was absolutely the best cake that I've ever tasted. She was super helpful in helping me figuring out the design of the cake, its flavor and how large it should be considering my guests and the type of party I was throwing. I have recommended Emma Cakery to multiple friends and have enjoyed eating the cake multiple times. I love it every single time.

    I reached out for a custom cake about two weeks before my event, which is short notice for most places so I was super happy when I got a quick response back from Niloofar at Emma Cakery. She was very kind and easy to work with! The cake was beautiful and exactly as I asked for! The cake was vanilla with strawberry filling and was delicious! Thank you Niloofar again for your beautiful cake.

    I found Emma Cakery via Instagram and ordered a 2-tier cherry blossom, strawberry cake for my wedding & couldn't be happier! Price is super reasonable, tastes, & looks great. Thank you Niloofar!!! Everyone loved it!

    I absolutely recommend it. Both design and taste was great. Our cake was so fresh and beautiful. Our guests and I loved it. I ordered 3 times to Emma Cakery and every time I was so satisfied. My 5 year old son loved his Pjmask cake. Niloo, owner of the Emma Cakery is so professional, nice and on time.

    I absolutely loved the cake with both the design and the taste. I received a lot of compliments as well!

    I've ordered cakes and sweets from Niloofar twice last year. One was a buttercream strawberry cake for my mom's birthday and it was delicious! She made it really pretty with flowers and macrons. When I ordered my son's birthday cake, I was very particular about the design and showed her some pics for inspiration. She was very patient when we went back and forth to finalize the design for the cake and sweets. The custom cake, cookies and cake pops turned out so well! Everyone liked the details! Thank you Niloofar!

It's obvious to me that they spent a lot of time on the branding of the name and concept. 10 stars in my book. The server's were nice and also helpful. I ordered 2 lemon cupcakes and a slice of the lemon poppyseed cake with buttercream frosting on top. $19+ for said items. The server put them into 2 beautiful boxes and a very nice bag. "Price 3 stars, boxes 10 stars" SusieCakes does not take cash! "I'm personally not happy about that" I don't want to hear your excuses why you are doing that, I do not and never will like that. That alone is reason enough for me not to go back. I had a slice of the lemon poppyseed cake at room temp per instructions with a glass of milk. I felt like the buttercream tasted like every other buttercream, nothing special. The lemon filling in between the slices was also just ok but the combination of the lemon filling and buttercream made the slice of cake very, very sweet, did I say sweet? I mean way way way too sweet. (And I love sweet) it just ruined the flavor of the cake, as in I could not taste the cake at all. 2 stars The lemon cupcake was better than the lemon poppyseed cake, still very sweet but not like the lemon poppyseed "I could taste the cake a little better but the icing still overwhelmed the flavors of the cake. 3 stars

    I was browsing their website and noticed a variety of vegan flavors, so I was excited to try the…read morevegan options. When I got there, they only had red velvet. I guess I missed the note on their website that says you need to order vegan or gluten free cupcakes two days in advance. It was nice that they had red velvet but it seems like it's the go-to choice for most places, which makes it hard not to judge against other cupcakes. It was very good, the cake was moist, and I enjoyed the frosting. But it didn't quite measure up to my favorite vegan red velvet cupcake from Sprinkles. The shop is so cute and there's a good amount of parking. I went on a day when there were two people working, and they were both super nice. I thought the male worker was a bit more helpful, but they were both kind. I'd love to see more than one vegan option on the consistent in-store menu, rather than needing to order ahead.

My Asian tastebuds found 3 of the 4 to be too sweet. Burnt almond: 4.5/5. Moist, not too sweet, great flavor, the crunchiness of the almond mixture coating the frosting was a great touch. Only complaint is that the frosting texture was a touch too oily/buttery and dense, it felt like I was eating a solid chunk of sweetened whipped butter. Taste was great tho. 24 Carrot: 4/5. Perfectly spiced, fluffy frosting complemented the cake perfectly, it was just too sweet for me. Lemon cake with lemon buttercream: 4/5. Lemon flavor was very subtle and mild, could've been stronger. Also: too sweet. Coffee toffee crunch: 4.5/5. Too sweet, but the frosting and crunch were sooo good! Incredible coffee flavor. I would come here again if I needed cupcakes for an event. These were top notch, for American cupcakes.

When we've brought it to social gatherings in the past, it's also always a hit. Their other desserts, like their lemon bars, french napoleon, and turtle cheesecake, are also major hits. So when it was time for my wedding, I knew I had to get my cake from them! It was a wonderful experience from start to finish. They offer cake tasting boxes that include their most popular flavors. However, we had a specific taste profile in mind and asked if they could custom make the samples for us - they said yes without hesitation and didn't charge us extra! The samples were delicious and the pickup process was easy. We went with a ribbon cake (chocolate and vanilla) with fresh strawberries, whipped cream filling, and vanilla buttercream frosting. I also had a very specific vision for my wedding cake - I wanted a detailed three-tier cake with buttercream vintage flowers. We also ordered a plain sheet cake with the same flavors to ensure that we had enough slices for our guests. I worked with Fariba during the ordering process and they were great. I am truly still SHOCKED at how beautiful the cake was and how it matched the inspo photo perfectly. It was a showstopper and extremely delicious. See the photo for details! We got the cake topper from etsy :)

I've recommended this place to so many people, so it's a shame that I'm always disappointed with my orders now. And it also looks poorly on me when the same issues happen to people I've recommended this place to. I always order extra bacon (as did my friend twice now because she gave them a second try based on my (former) love for the place and their sandy's) and whoever makes the sandwiches now (gosh I miss Andrew) either doesn't add the extra bacon, or slathers it in mayo). See images of how they used to look vs how they look now. I've had to send my husband back for extra bacon on more than one occasion and today it's DRIPPING in mayo when I didn't ask for extra mayo. Amazed that this is the new baseline for mayo. They also didn't give us a straw and we are on the go today (seen of image in car), so now I can't drink my drink. Please make your sandwiches good again; I would love to keep being a regular, or even a customer of yours at all still.
