    My wife surprised me for our 10 year wedding anniversary by having the top part of our wedding cake remade by the same company that originally made it! The flavor is raspberry amaretto with a buttercream frosting. So yummy! According to my wife, the people at Freedom Bakery were super responsive and able to make the cake within 10 days of contacting them. Hoping they are still around for our 20 year anniversary!

    The perfect wedding cake!! Freedom Bakery was fantastic to work with for our wedding. They executed our vision perfectly. Not only was the cake beautiful, but it was so delicious. We kept hearing compliments throughout the evening. I'm lactose intolerant. I really appreciated that they accommodated the bottom layer of the cake, so it was dairy free. It was so tasty that no one even noticed the difference. From the initial meeting with Paul and working with Tania along the way, the Freedom Bakery team was communicative and easy to work with. I highly recommend working with them for any event or even if you're visiting and craving a sweet dessert in the area. Thank you so much for making our wedding cake dreams come true!

    Bookmarking this to my Yelp after reading many rave recommendations for Freedom Bakery's Monterey location, on Eat and Drink - Monterey County FB group. Someone posted request for bakery to make gluten free wedding cake without any gums-guar, etc. I've known of Freedom Bakery Watsonville for years (decades?) as a local fave but don't buy cakes. Reminded to go in and see what other wonderful baked goods they've got however.

    What I got :/

    Resolved with Paul and appreciate his care and concern. It was never about the quality as their cakes are very good. Thank you!

    Turned out so amazing!

    Ordered our wedding cake with them and it came out beautiful. They were able to create our vision and added in the dried floral and topper we ordered through Etsy. We ordered the cake sampler to try out the flavors. You pick it up and take it home. They give you a small piece of each flavor along with a key and rating sheet. They suggest eating the cake at room temp but we felt they had more flavor when cold. We ended up ordering the raspberry preserve with Italian lemon mousse with white cake. We didn't really taste any lemon in our actual wedding cake but it was still really good. If you end up ordering a cake, they take the amount you paid for the samples and apply it to your cake balance. I think that's very creative and thoughtful to offer. We ended up getting a two tier cake with a sheet cake to serve. The staff was very communicative during the process and we appreciate their help to make our dream cake! We would recommend them for sure! Bonus!!!! On our 1 year wedding anniversary, we opened up the cake top and it was literally just as good as on our wedding. A+ for my husband wrapping it so well ;)

    Freedom Bakery made our cutting cake for our wedding, and we couldn't be happier with the results. We requested a heart-shaped, 4-layer cake with the Belgian chocolate ganache and chocolate mousse flavor (the Monterey), and it was incredible! We had a family member pick it up (they don't deliver 1-tier cakes) at their Monterey location, and it stayed quite well up until the cake-cutting portion of the evening. We will definitely be back around our first anniversary to order a similar cake to celebrate.

    My family and I we're staying in town for vacation, not too far away, and we last minute needed a cake to celebrate the vacation we were on. I had yelp a bakery that was closest to where we were staying and then this place showed up. I had called on Thursday early afternoon and a lovely lady by the name of Carolina had answered. I had called in asking for a camping themed cake for pick up for the following day at noon. I had saw a design that they already had done with another cake and I just wanted to add our flare to it. Carolina was super friendly and super professional. She answered everything I asked about from the style, the size, filling and design. She even made a suggestion on one of the style of cakes that they already had done that would go great with the theme that we had. I am super grateful to them that they were able to execute the cake for us in such short notice. I really appreciate that. The fact that they do a quarter sheet cake here. We had pulled in the next day and walked in and it is such a wonderful place with so many fun cookies. We picked some of those up for the kids that we're with us as well as our cake. If you're in town, definitely check this place out. It's a really cute mom and pop shop. when we brought out the cake to our family and friends, they were so amazed with all the cute little details and the cake also was super delicious.

    Already made fresh cakes for you to buy if you don't have time for them to make one. It's one day notice or two depending on what you order

    My family and I been going to this place for years ever since they've been on freedom Boulevard i've always bought their cakes for my kids parties all the time. Their customer service is great and every time I walk into this place their displays are helpful to look at so you can choose a cake size and now they even have iPads so you could choose a design and customize your cake but yeah this is my number one bakery, but I wish they would sell donuts oh and i believe they have doggy cookies for your pet.

    Our retiree.

    I ordered the "Dream Cake" for a coworker that was retiring. The bakery is 15 miles away from where I work and not a lot of coworkers knew of the bakery. I sent Freedom Bakery a picture to print on the cake. When asked how I wanted it decorated, I said to let the Decorator decide. I would NEVER have been able to suggest to them the excellent way they decorated the cake. Everyone at work LOVED the design as well as the dream cake. It came out perfectly! I also ordered a dozen of specialized cookies for the retiree and it literally brought him to tears. When asked if he was going to eat them he said, "NO, I am saving these". I have been going to Freedom Baker for all 50 years that they have been open. You can't go wrong with them. They seem to put so much effort into making an excellent product and I hope they are around for another 50 years!

    Specialty cake:

    Ordered a specialty cake for my sisters 21st Birthday. The cake was beautiful! We got exactly what we asked for. Carolina was wonderful! Over all great experience!

    They made an amazing custom engagement cake according to the inspo pics and executed it perfectly. Were also very willing to make pick up easier because of unexpected delays! Will order more from them!
