    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 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 saddens me that I have to write this review because I have received 3 wonderful cakes from…read moreDayanna. Also, she was so accommodating by making this cake on a Thursday when her availability is strictly weekends. However, if I knew that asking for an accommodation would mean my needs wouldn't have been met I would have looked elsewhere. I ordered a 7 inch buttercream cake but instead received fondant which went uneaten. I went back to review the invoice she sent and I realized there was a portion that said fondant but it also said buttercream so I just ignored it because I had no problems with the previous cakes I had received. This cake was for my friends son so I was so sad when they complained about the toughness of the fondant. I should have contacted her prior to make sure it would be buttercream but I believe she also could have let me know she would have been diverging from what I requested. Especially because $220 isnt cheap :(. The inside of the cake was great!

    I was really looking forward to the custom cake I ordered, especially since I provided a reference…read morephoto for size comparison. Unfortunately, the cake I received was much smaller than expected. The sizing descriptions on the order form didn't reflect what was delivered, and it didn't match the scale shown in the reference image I shared, nor did she let me know that it wouldn't look the same. The cake itself lacked many details of the reference cake and it was also delivered late, making me believe that she spent extra time on final touches. To my surprise, the cake was very far off from what I had asked for. I tried reaching out to provide feedback but I didn't receive a response.

    Update Review: First things first, I'd like to clarify that…read morethe cake and filling was indeed what I ordered. Secondly, I have to give credit where it's due- Sweets By Design totally came through when it came to taste and wow factor (minus the drip design)!! Cake was fantastic [MOIST & DELICIOUS] and I was surprised by my in-laws approval as well. No joke, they are harsh critics when it comes to desserts and to see them enjoy every bite was definitely a SLAM DUNK. I legit couldn't cut the cake fast enough!! On a side note, thank you Nicole for immediately reaching out to me regarding my disappointment. She handled the situation in a prompt and professional manner. I appreciated her genuineness and heartfelt concern about my issues. 3 stars overall but one additional star for Nicole's customer service. She truly cares about her clients. Business is booming for SBD for obvious reasons and my only warning would be the glitch in communication. Be aware that you may need to reach out and send a few reminder pokes. ---------------------------------------------------- I really wanted to like this small business, I really had high hopes. Unfortunately Sweets By Design is an absolute bust!! After a not so good first impression with SBD during my baby shower planning, I still wanted to give Nicole and her business a try. Since we were never really able to celebrate the birth of my daughter the way we wanted, my husband and I wanted to make her 6 month [[half]] bday a little bit sweeter. I decided to reach out and see if Nicole could help me with our cake. To start off, the issues with communication was just as bad as the 1st time around. I reached out to the business via Instagram on 9/26 and got a response back quickly. I informed the cake's pick up date and sent over 3 designs that I was potentially looking at. I ended up settling with the pastel, drip, macaron, & sprinkles design [see attached photo]. A quote was promised the following day [9/27] and NOTHING WAS RECEIVED. Nicole did reach out 2 days later with the pricing and I was ready to place my order and get the ball rolling. NO RESPONSE. I dm again asking for a cake flavor listing so I can finalize the order and process whatever cost that is needed. AGAIN, CRICKETS! I am forced to reach out yet again on 9/30 asking if she was going to be able to make the cake adding that important details and payment had not yet been able to be finalized. At that point I finally get a response. The entire process of working with this baker is just more stressful than it should. An email was sent to confirm cake info and the filling listed was incorrect. Then 2 days prior to pick up, I have to message Nicole again about an address as to where I need to pick up my order. She then sends another revised email. Cake- My husband was left with the job of picking up the cake since I have an infant to attend to. He comes home with a cake that is nice BUT NOT WHAT I ORDERED. The drip design was nowhere to be found. At this point, I question whether or not the cake & the filling is even correct. I am super let down by what was delivered, even after all the detailed discussion with Nicole. I have dm'd her through IG & sent her texts regarding my disappointment so we'll see how that goes. I'll update my review if/when I hear back from someone regarding this matter.

    My friend ordered me a cake from here for my virtual baby shower and my husband picked it up as a…read moresurprise so I don't have much information in terms of communication and ordering or the process of picking up the cake but can attest to the design and flavor! My virtual baby shower was boba themed so my friend sent a picture of one of the graphics my sister made for me for the baby shower as inspiration for the boba cake. The cake (picture attached) looked just like the graphic and was perfect! I liked that she used an actual boba straw for the top and that it was very detailed and cute. Everyone who was able to see it online thought it was a perfect boba cake. For flavorings, my friend and husband chose the lemon with raspberry (I think) filling. It was one of the hottest days in the Silicon Valley (over 100 degrees) but the cake kept fine in the car and sitting out. The cake itself was moist, not too sweet and had the right amount of lemon flavoring. The raspberry part was also very good. Overall, no complaints about the texture or flavor of the cake. I'm not the hugest fan of fondant so I'm not the best judge but the overall icing was fine as well. Overall, very impressed with the style, design and execution of the cake. The flavor was also good!

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 :)
