Woohoo! As good as it gets!…read more First time getting a custom made cake for my girlfriends 25th birthday and I'm glad i found Janelle. I did my research and in term of customer service and the value, Nell's cake cannot be beat. She was very responsive over email and very accommodating with my designs\.I wanted to do a custom scrabble cake and gave Janelle the tile arrangements and asked her to have fun with it. I can't be any more pleased with the result, It looked so good and my girlfriend loved it! She went above and beyond the call of duty and paid careful attention to the details. I love the bag of scrabbles up top and the marbled tile holders that resembled closely to the actual holder. If i didn't know any better, i would say she took the tile holder straight from the game! Janelle claim to make the best Red Velvet cake! I will have to see about that when i try it tonight! I will update after i try it tonight! ------------------------------------------------------------------- Update: Tried the Red velvet cake and it tasted delicious! Had guests asking where i got the cake all night! I was so surprised when i found scrabble titles in the bags! Again, attention to detail.

I'm not a big fan of haitian cake (tend to be dry and breadlike) but the cake had a great flavor, nice and soft. My only issue is the price - $300 is way too exp for a one tier cake!

The cookies are fantasy, and the cream pie was soooo good. They don't have many old-school bakeries around like they used to. This one was opened in 1887, so you know it's good! They did mention they are moving to the larger space on the corner, so expect even more and better things from Lyndell's once that is complete!

This is my second time ordering from this Southeast Asian dessert shop!…read more Coconut Pandan Cake: I'm not a big fan of pandan, but this one had a very gentle and soothing aroma. The cake itself is light and delicate, the cream is smooth and not too sweet, and the coconut sauce on top is like glutinous rice, with a sticky texture and a satisfying sweetness. Tiramisu: Although not Southeast Asian, it's equally excellent! The coffee infused the cake, and the cream was smooth and creamy. Personally, I think it would be even better if it were a little more bitter.

I really wanted to love Noel and work with him for my wedding. We ordered a gluten free cake to…read moretaste, and the textures were all wrong: crumbly sponge, hard to cut frosting, and the filling (while delicious mexican chocolate) was almost a saving grace, was thick to cut. It is important to me to support local businesses and work with a fellow Latino for as many of my vendors as possible, so I was disappointed when this was the result with Noel. It was also awkward. One of the first emails asked him on a Monday if it would be possible to do a tasting that weekend, or what tasting schedules are / how he does them. He responded more than a week later saying "I don't do tastings on such short notice." No details provided on how he does them.

Soul Cake is absolutely INCREDIBLE!!!! We highly recommend Soul Cake for your elopement or wedding…read more Not only is the cake a work of art for the eyes--but the flavors and textures are expertly combined to feel as celebratory as the event. Our elopement cake was almost too beautiful to cut into, but we're glad we did. We chose the lemon raspberry buttercream, and we highly recommend this flavor, too! The lemon curd and raspberry fillings were so fresh, and the buttercream was perfect: airy, creamy, and not at all too sweet. Coordinating with Gayoung was simple, and we really appreciate how much time, care, and expertise went into making our wedding cake so beautiful. You'll be so happy with your choice--we enthusiastically recommend Soul Cake! Photo Credit: Castillo Holliday Photo + Film

We wanted a cake to celebrate my mom's 100th birthday celebration and we needed something that she could see with her limited eyesight. The cake was exquisite -- both aesthetically and gastronomically. Every guest asked where we got the cake. I wish that I had recorded the chorus of "oohs and aahs" that accompanied the introduction so that the artist/bakers at Soul Cake could have experienced it. The main cake was a delicious lemon raspberry that everyone raved about and we supplemented with a double chocolate cake, that was equally appreciated. Soul Cake delivered our cake on a holiday -- 7/4 -- which was so helpful! Thank you for what you do. Our experience was unparalleled.
