    Reviews With Photos - Emmeli's Cake

    Emmeli's Cake was an amazing choice for my Mother's 75th birthday party. She went above and beyond to make a beautiful cake for our special event. She even did this on the day, after coming home from her family vacation. Everybody commented on it and enjoyed it. I will definitely use this place if I ever need it for another occasion.

    We wanted a cute little cake made for our 2 year olds birthday. She had a sad COVID non party day, so we wanted it to be special. Her favorite thing in the world is this ratty little snow leopard toy. So we had it designed around that favorite. The figurine on top is SO cute. To be honest it doesn't look exactly like her stuffed animal, but it's pretty good. I wasn't thrilled with the black and white frosting though. I wish it would have been more colorful. It was a cocoa chiffon cake with raspberry mousse filling and chocolate chunks. Unfortunately the cake itself was very dry. Not sure if it dries out from refrigeration or if it was the cake itself. The mousse was good. Creamy and light. I'm not sure what the frosting was on the outside. It sort of tasted like a really light, whipped buttercream? It was alright. We were happy to pay the expensive price for the Joy it brought our kid. But the cost didn't really match the taste.

    Beautiful, affordable, delicious, and totally custom cakes! Emmeli emailed with me directly helping me make the perfect cake for my dads birthday. I live in SF and can't be home in Boise to celebrate with him. She helped me pick specific flavors of cake, filling, and cream that he would like; devils good cake with blueberry cream filling. I love the cool modern design of the cake that was beautiful but not too feminine for my dad. My mom said it was the best came she has ever tasted. They lived close enough for delivery. I only wish I could try it myself! have to order myself a cake when I'm home next!

    a dress made out of cupcakes

    Highest recommendations!! The taste and the customer service were unmatched!! My family flew from Fl to Boise for a wedding. We ordered cupcakes from Emmeli for the bridal shower. The cupcakes were beautiful and my aunt (and the bride) LOVED them! Emmeli created the exact design that I requested. The only guidance she had was a photo from Pinterest. Emmeli walked in the rain to make sure we received our order. She ensured the cupcakes were covered and protected. She went above and beyond to make sure we got the cupcakes at the restaurant and was so patient and kind!! I will be sure to order form here again when I return to Idaho for the baby shower.

    Beautiful cupcakes delivered to my Boise State student for her birthday. Emmeli's was great to work with, and she created lemon-vanilla cupcakes with strawberry and raspberry mouse frosting with gold sprinkle accent. Exquisite!

    Our 2 year old's Sesame Street birthday cake! The inside was even more gorgeous with perfect bright rainbow layers!

    Emmeli made an amazing Sesame Street birthday cake for our 2 year old's birthday party. She was so easy to work with- we did everything over email (so convenient!) and I had no concerns because she communicates so clearly. I could tell she understood what we wanted and she provided helpful tips on size, flavors etc. I only wish we had taken a picture of the cake sliced into because the six rainbow layers were gorgeous!!! There was a collective gasp when we cut into it- absolutely stunning. She will be my go-to for all future cakes! Can't recommend highly enough!

    Was searching for a bakery which can make a custom cake (dark chocolate raspberry macaron cake). She came back with a delicious sounding rendition. When we asked if we can stick to the original request, she did so with no hesitation. It came out perfect, the subtle sweetness paired well with the tart fruit. Perfect for what we're looking for and exceeded our expectations. All this was done quickly and affordable. Next time we need some baked good for a special occasion or just a sweet treat. This will be our first stop.

    Raspberry Lemon Cheesecake

    I went to Emmeli's for a custom cheesecake for my SO's birthday. Her favorite flavor combination is raspberry lemon. After checking her flavor guide page on her website I figured it would be an easy job for her, and it was! The order process was quick, easy, and efficient. The cheesecake was seriously so good, and her pricing makes it all the more desirable, I will definitely be ordering more from Emmeli's soon!

    My beautiful wedding cake Emmeli did, I wanted edible gold glitter. It was so delicious! (My florist added the flowers)
    Alyssa E.

    Emmeli is the best. I found her at a wedding show and ended up hiring her to do my wedding cake. She let me pick any flavors we wanted, we did 3-tiers with 3 flavors...she even did an almond poppyseed for my hubby. It was beautiful and absolutely delicious, the best part was the anniversary cake that she included in her fee 1 year later in the same style and flavor. It was so special! Highly recommend, she is very sweet and easy to work with!

    Our beautiful (and absolutely DELICIOUS) wedding cake made by Emmeli.

    The last time I had My Donuts, my husband's sales rep brought them into the shop for my husband and…read morehis co workers to enjoy. Luckily I was there that day and was able to snag a chocolate bar. I remember it being so good! I thought today was a good day for a sweet treat so I made my way in! My husband's request was an apple fritter if they had any. I came in later in the afternoon and surprisingly there were still quite a few donuts available. I was happy that there was quite a selection still. They all looked so good! Even the classic glazed looked tasty. After looking over the goodies, I decided on a half dozen of mixed donuts. The sweet lady behind the counter was so patient with me as I was looking and second guessing my choices. With the mixed variety you get 3 classic, 2 specialty and 1 extra fancy donut. I snagged a round glazed, a chocolate and maple bar, 2 apple fritters and a fancy donut with cream and strawberries on top. I was planning on giving 3 of the goodies to my in laws. I asked the sweet lady for an extra box and with no hesitation she grabbed it got me. I was able to get my goodies sorted. I dropped off the maple bar, an apple fritter and the cream and strawberry donut to my in laws. My father in law loves apple fritters and didn't hesitate to grab it from the box and claim it right away. 0 He enjoyed half of it and is saving the other half for later. Nothing but great things were said about his treat. I forgot to mention earlier that the sweet lady gave me two donut holes in my box. I snacked on those and mannnnn were they good! They were so soft and sweet. I just wanted a little something so it was perfect! My husband devoured his apple fritter. I didn't even get a bite! I'm happy he enjoyed it! I was recently at Krispy Kreme and honestly the donut I got tasted stale. Like it had been sitting out for more than a day. I only had 2 small donut holes and they blew Krispy Kreme out of the water, it was night and day. I'm happy I got to stop in today and grab some goodies. The donuts were amazing! The service was great! And I got to support a local business in my area! I look forward to coming back and grabbing more treats for my family/friends sometime soon.

    Tasty donuts, friendly service about sums it up. Interior is small with a few tables to sit at,…read moreeverything seemed clean and tidy if a bit spartan. On the morning we stopped in there weren't a lot of choices and judging by the size of the cases on the counter that's typical. We tried buttermilk, cream puff, strawberry frosted heart shaped donuts and a glazed croissant. My daughter rated the cream puff donut a solid 5 star! I give major props to that little glazed croissant- it was delicious but I also appreciate that it wasn't huge. I felt satisfied but not sickly full afterward. I tried the buttermilk later in the day and it wasn't okay, the frosted donut for a similar review from my daughter- like, solid food donuts but nothing we couldn't find at the local grocery store bakery. Worth the stop if you're in the immediate area, not a destination spot though.

    I couldn't sleep last night so of course I decided to do some research on some local bakeries in…read moreour area. I am always down for something sweet! I have driven by this shop a million times but never got the chance to make it in. After checking out all their photos and goodies off their website, making my way in today was a must. The shop is very small and intimate. You are immediately greeted by all the goodies as soon as you walk in. Colorful macarons, the cutest cheesecakes and beautifully displayed scones and muffins. The display case is nice and bright, allowing you to be able to see the details and coloring of each macaron. The pretty piping on the cheesecake. The fun layers of the cakes. It was hard not to want one of each thing out of the case. It was our first visit for my daughter and I. As a new customer, you're trying to absorb everything about this store. You want to look at all your options! The gal that initially was going to help us pretty much just stood there and stared at us. Didn't really talk to us. Didn't ask if we had any questions. She had the most unpleasant look on her face. It honestly made me feel so unwanted and uncomfortable to be at the shop. I offered to let another customer go ahead of us so she wasn't just standing there waiting for us to order something. The second customer also needed some time. Finally a gentleman came in and she got him some coffee started. Another gal was working and she helped us. At that point, I was so turned off about getting anything but we were already there so we decided to grab a few things. My daughter and I decided to share a 6 pack of macarons. We snagged lemon, birthday cake, coffee, chocolate, creme brulee and cookies and cream as our flavor choices. She also got a red velvet cheesecake for us to share after dinner tonight. On our ride home, we broke that box of macarons open and had to try them all. The lemon was sweet and tangy, I love the lemon custard in the middle. Birthday cake reminds me of a pink frosted animal cookie. The chocolate was my favorite! Very chocolate forward and sweet. Coffee reminded me of a vanilla latte in cookie form. Cookies and cream was much like cookies and cream ice cream. More cream forward and less chocolate cookie. Creme brulee had sugar toasted on top which created a slight bitterness to the cookie but it was balanced with how sweet the cookie was. All 6 macarons were fabulous! I look forward to having the red velvet cheesecake after dinner tonight. I like that there are so many gluten free options at this bakery. I adore how petite and prettily decorated the pastries were. I appreciate that this joint is local as I love supporting local businesses. But, first impressions are so huge for me and my first impression of their customer service wasn't there for me. You can push out great products all you want but how you make someone feel during their purchase can make or break your business. As fantastic as my macarons were, all I can think about was how uncomfortable I was when I was just being stared at. Macarons and cheesecake can be purchased at a few joints in our valley. I'm happy I got to enjoy some goodies with my daughter but I'm going to go support another local business that will actually make me feel like a valued customer and not a bother.

Decor is great, kids loved how vibrant the place was. Ice cream asks donuts looked delightfully delectable. However, a bit of a let down on the donuts. I ended up ordering a basic donut ice cream sandwich for about $6. Which is basically a regular donut split in half with ice cream in the middle and sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar. However, for a dollar more you can get a deluxe with deluxe toppings like sprinkles, marshmallows and the like. Also ended up ordering a BIG Donut (Salted caramel Biscoff) for $4 and ended up eating part of it. Donuts are not made in house (I don't think. Or least didn't taste like it). The ice cream was MID, as the kids would say, great on a hot summer day (98 deg outside) but nothing spectacular. Service was decent, quick, but definitely can tell the person was bored. All in all, it was a decent experience. If you're in the area check it out.

So on this extremely hot July day, we made our way in for a cold 1sweet treat. This venue has always been so adorable! I love the set up here. The cute wall decor, the bright colors and all the seating. It's a very sweet venue. It was super busy today! We all had the same idea, a cold goodie on a hot day. There were 3 girls working behind the counter and they were hustling. It took a minute for us to get to the register but it was all good! We checked out all the cute donuts they had on display and of course the menu. My husband got himself a simple smashed donut with cookies and cream ice cream. I got a 4 pack of mini donuts and we shared a strawberry mangolade. Yoooooooooo, my husband's donut sandwich was legit so good! The donut was warm, it was coated in cinnamon and sugar. The ice cream was creamy with a good amount of cookies in it. It's a good size treat and as much as we ate, we couldn't finish it. I did eat 1 of the 4 of my mini donuts. I believe the one I ate was maybe a dulce de leches one? It was coated in cinnamon and sugar with a dollop of dulce de leche in the middle. I'm looking forward to eating my other 3 later. That little bite was a piece of heaven, it was so good! The strawberry mangolade was tasty! You can't go wrong with a strawberry mango lemonade. I do wish the drink was a little bigger. It's basically 4 bucks for a couple sips. It was good but just too small. My husband and I really enjoyed our time here today. We even took a couple shots at the claw machine. It would be nice if that vendor doesn't shove the toys in the machine, it might allow people to win some goodies. I'm determined to get that Hello Kitty in that machine! If you're looking for a fun treat with your date, friends or family, this joint should be your spot to hit up. You'll have a good time.

The other person there was great though! I was drawn in by the array of unique flavors and vegan options. I had really wanted to get something boozy and vegan, but they only had one flavor on at the moment that fit the bill and I wasn't particularly interested, so I sampled a few of the dairy boozy flavors and went with a vegan non-boozy ice cream for my actual order because a full scoop of dairy ice cream does not sit right in my stomach. I liked the boozy flavors more but that was only because of the flavors offered - the vegan ice cream itself was great, very smooth and creamy, not overly sugary. I got the float season vegan ice cream: blackberry ice cream with salted dark chocolate. I did still enjoy this flavor a lot. I really liked the crunchy bittersweet dark chocolate bits. I didn't get anything to drink but I was kind of tempted. The ice cream + beer or wine flights looked interesting. I don't know wine well enough to comment, but it looked like they had a good selection of beer with quality brewers and a good variety of beer types. This is technically a Warehouse Food Hall vendor but it's only accessible from the street outside the food hall. I wasted a few minutes wandering around the food hall trying to find it before I looked outside. They have a fair amount of seating inside and outside.
