I stumbled across Janine at It Takes the Cake while looking for a baker in Lawrenceville for my god son's Christening. I was naturally nervous because it was the first time I was working with Janine, I wanted every detail of the Christening to be perfect and I had an inspiration cake that I had my heart set on. Janine did not let me down at all. I found her very professional, very easy to work with, accommodating and not only did the cake look amazing, it was delicious as well. The cake was moist and the fondant was not overly sweet. That cake was definitely enjoyed by all. Thank you Janine for being a part of our special day.

Blue Rooster Bakery exceeded my expectations! They were so easy to work with, and I thoroughly…read moreenjoyed the collaborative process. Together, we came up with the idea for a Butter Pecan Caramel cake and worked through the general details. They took that idea and turned it into something truly beautiful. The presentation was outstanding: a tall, elegant cake with beautifully piped swirls, delicate ridges around the sides, and a generous pecan border. Cutting into it revealed lovely layers of moist cake and caramel filling. It was every bit the special creation I had hoped for. What impressed me most was how thoughtfully they brought our idea to life. From the friendly collaboration to the care in the finished cake, this was a wonderful experience. If you're looking for a bakery that listens to your ideas and creates something memorable, I highly recommend Blue Rooster Bakery!

They definitely did not hold back. I will definitely be visiting when I'm in this side of town again. After the meeting we headed over in person to purchase some sweets. The ambiance of the bakery was so cute and welcoming. The customer service was good as well. The staff answered all of our questions and didn't rush us. I will definitely be back.

Yanets bakery is my go to bakery! They are always a hit at any event I host. I highly recommend…read morethem. I've been going to them for about 7 years now and they have never disappointed.

2/5 -- Disappointing Customer Service. First and Last Time Ordering…read more I wanted to support a small local business, but unfortunately, my first experience with Yanet's Bakery left a bad impression. I placed a last-minute order for my nephew and paid the full $60 upfront without hesitation. I even offered to pay an additional rush fee because I understood it was short notice and appreciated them accommodating me. My issue was never the order itself. It was the customer service and lack of clear communication. I was told pickup was available between 1-6 PM, and I requested 6 PM. When I asked for the address, I was directed to their location information. Later, when I said I was on my way, I was told the order wasn't ready yet. They eventually said it would be ready by 5 PM. I was traveling about an hour to pick up my order, and when my ETA ended up being after 6 PM, I was informed they closed at 6:30 PM. I understand businesses have operating hours, but I wish that had been communicated more clearly from the beginning, especially knowing I was traveling from a distance. Instead, I was told I could arrange an Uber courier, which would've cost me an additional $53 on top of the $60 I had already paid. That's almost the price of the order itself! What bothered me most was the way the situation was handled. Rather than feeling like a valued first-time customer, I felt like an inconvenience. I understand they were busy and had squeezed my order in last minute, but being busy doesn't mean customer service should go out the window. Her mother ultimately came back to hand me my order, which I genuinely appreciated, and I thanked them for making that accommodation. I even shared their bakery on my social media afterward to show support, despite how I felt about the experience. I also tried an apple fritter, and personally, I wasn't impressed with the taste. At the end of the day, plenty of bakeries can make good treats, but customer service is what makes people want to return. A little more patience, kindness, and consideration would've made this experience completely different. I don't mind paying for quality, and I respect people's time, but I expect that same respect as a paying customer. Unfortunately, I won't be returning or recommending this bakery based on my experience.

Vy created the perfect cake for our wedding day! Her cakes are all absolutely beautiful and also…read moreespecially tasted amazing! Before our wedding, we were able to pick up one of Vy's tasting packs of cake, all of which were incredible tasting and helped us choose the flavours we would want for our final cake. Highly recommend picking up a tasting pack if you are able to! During the process, we met with Vy early on and discussed our choices of flavours, design, and Vy was able to send us a mock-up design that incorporated elements from the wedding dress which ended up being a great touch, and created a cake that was unique for just us. We have honestly never seen a cake fly off the table so quickly - to the point where we weren't even able to have one of the flavours on the wedding day as the guests ate it all so quickly! So many compliments have been given from friends and family about her cake. Overall, we highly recommend getting a cake from Syndesi for whatever event you may have coming up. The trip out there would definitely, definitely be worth it. We'll certainly be ordering more cakes from her for future celebrations!

Everyone was amazed at the cake (a lot of them didn't even believe it was cake). The guests devoured it and I got asked so many times who did the cake. I will definitely be recommending her to friends who are looking for custom cakes and will order from her again for other special occasions!
