    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 been great having a SusieCakes in downtown Willow Glen, but a recent experience has made me rethink continuing to shop here. I pre-ordered my son's K-pop Demon Hunters cake ~1.5 weeks in advance. He's a huge fan, so we were excited that SusieCakes offered a themed cake! The cake was scheduled for a 10am pickup on Saturday. When my husband arrived and gave them my name, the staff looked confused and had no idea what order he was referring to--even after he showed the email confirmation. He said they seemed to scramble once they realized the mistake. They apologized, mentioned being short-staffed, and told him it would take 20 minutes to get the cake ready. They then offered him a single cupcake for the inconvenience, which he politely declined. After waiting the 20 minutes in the car, he went back in--only to find the cake still wasn't ready. It took another 20-25 minutes on top of that! Altogether, the order was nearly 45-50 minutes late. I didn't realize how long he had been gone until he called, and by then I was already deep into day-of party prep. I called the store to understand what happened. They apologized again and said they were short-staffed. I asked what they could do to make up for the delay, especially since we intentionally pre-ordered to avoid last-minute issues. The representative offered a $25 store credit--which felt surprisingly low considering the $100 price of the cake, the significant delay, and the lack of any proactive communication. We didn't even receive a heads-up call about the situation. The rep later put me on hold and came back to say they would instead refund $25 to my card. While I appreciate the gesture, the overall customer service felt dismissive of the inconvenience this caused on a busy party day. For a bakery I've supported so often, this experience was disappointing. I hope they improve how they handle future mishaps. It's a bummer because I truly enjoy their cakes, but the disappointment in how this situation was handled has me considering other options moving forward.

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.

It also doesn't have any weird aftertastes from the white chocolate or hazelnut syrup, which is an issue I've run into at other coffee places. - London Fog, iced with raspberry cold foam - It's surprisingly hard to find a coffee place that does London Fogs well, especially iced, but this is definitely one of them. The earl grey tea is super strong, and it's complemented by a good amount of vanilla syrup. Also, no weird aftertaste from the vanilla or raspberry. - Mr. Sunshine sandwich, replace the bacon with avocado - This is simple, healthy, and delicious, plus it comes with a little mandarin.

The iced hot chocolate wasn't great, but that was because I ordered it with half sweetness and it needed more. I'm saving the banana bread for later, but I have a feeling it will be good warmed up.
