    This was my second time ordering a custom cake here, and they've once again gone above and beyond. Not only was the design exactly what I envisioned, but the flavor (we chose chocolate cake with strawberry mousse and fresh strawberries) was even more amazing. Moist, fresh, and perfectly balanced--not overly sweet. Pickup was smooth, and the cake was ready right on time. When a place delivers consistent quality, friendly service, and delicious results--twice in a row--it's worth shouting out. Highly recommend for birthdays, celebrations, or any sweet occasion! Thank you Ji for the amazing cake for my husband.

    I am so happy with the cupcakes for my husband's 50th birthday celebration. Each cupcake wonderfully represented a hobby or interest of his. Our party guests were blown away with the artistry!! And they tasted phenomenal! Vanilla, chocolate, and red velvet were all fabulous. We won't hesitate to order again in the future!

    Hermes cake
    Michael H.

    I am going to kick off 2025 with my first review on Ji's bakery. To provide some context, I organized a SURPRISE birthday party for my wife with a custom cake. The biggest concern is that my wife can read me like a text book so I didn't think I can pull it off. But I did it!!! Please note that I had Ji's Cake boutique bookmarked for quite some time. It was just a matter of me figuring out when to execute my plan. Anyway, what you can do is go on her website to provide her details. We then communicated pretty much via text messages about the design and options. I asked her if she can come up with an Hermes like cake, which I am attaching a picture. The flavors available are: strawberry, vanilla, and chocolate. Ji mentioned that the best seller is the strawberry flavor so that's what I went with. Honestly, I had my doubts because most of the time you hear that custom cakes would look good but does not taste great. But in this case, I can vouch that the design of the cake is amazing and the cake tasted fantastic. My wife is super detail oriented and even she was mightily impressed with both the design and taste of the cake. This is absolutely a work of art!!! By the way, Ji was able to deliver the cake and I was able to pay her via Zelle. I also gave her more than a week noticed. I would totally recommend her for these custom cakes for special occasions.

    Ji did my husband's birthday cake for his 40th birthday. It was absolutely incredible!! I asked for a Jurassic Park theme, and she made the most amazing creation. Everyone said it was the most beautiful cake they'd ever seen. On top of how amazing the cake looked, it also tasted absolutely incredible! I can't recommend her enough. She will truly create a work of art for you! Thank you Ji!!

    Thank you, Ji's Cake Boutique for this beautifully made and well thought of wedding cake. This cake is a work of art. This cake looks so beautiful in photos and in person. All the details such as the bride and groom cake topper, the flowers on it and the vibrant pink colors... simply breathtaking. We love that this cake is layered with fresh strawberries inside. We enjoyed having this cake. We received a lot of compliments from our guests how beautiful and tasty this cake is. I recommend this business to anyone.

    Labubu cookies

    I've had Ji's cakes and pastries a few times at my friend's kids' birthday parties, so I already knew how pretty and tasty they are. Last Christmas, I ordered her cupcakes for dessert, and they were a big hit with everyone. For my daughter's 11th birthday, we ordered a Labubu cake and cookies, and they were amazing! All the girls at the party loved them. They were so cute and fun, and Labubu is really popular right now. The cake even came with a real Labubu figure, which my daughter was so excited about! I live in Las Vegas, so it's definitely a bit of a drive but I still made arrangements to pick up Ji's cake and cookies because I really wanted them for my daughter's party. Ji was super friendly and easy to work with. She even helped me figure out the closest pickup spot, which made everything so much easier. I really appreciated that! Everything looked beautiful, just like I expected, but what I loved most was that the cake and cookies tasted really good. I'm not a fan of desserts that are too sweet, but Ji's desserts are just right. My daughter even said Ji's cake and cookies were the best gift from the party! Thank you, Ji, for making my daughter's birthday extra special! I highly recommend her if you want something fun, beautiful, and delicious for your next celebration.

    My sister's birthday cake

    I contacted JI's short notice. I explained to her what I was looking for for my sister's birthday cake. She told me she would 100% be able to fulfill this. I called her on a short notice, three days before I needed the cake and she executed it flawlessly! Better than I even imagined! It's absolutely beautiful. The tufting and the pearls were absolutely perfection! I would 100% recommend this business.

    I ordered a cake for my husband's 30th birthday and Ji most definitely OVERDELIVERED. Not only was it visually amazing, but it tasted ever better than it looked. The ordering/selection process was also very seamless. Great service all around with quick turnaround times & speedy responses. Thank you for everything!

    Looove Ji's cakes. She creates the most beautiful cakes! But that's not the only reason why she became my go to person for parties. Her cakes are absolutely delicious. So light, fluffy, and full of fresh strawberries. And of course, Ji is so easy to work with and she never disappoints. Highly recommend!!!

    Vanilla cake with berry mousse filling
    D R.

    I was surprised with this beautiful cake for my 40th birthday and it couldn't have been more perfect. My boyfriend wanted to surprise me with a special cake. I was nervous because, ladies you know. He ended telling me stories, so I'm grateful for whomever he spoke with because they talked him out of choosing some odd filling options. He means well but flavor profiles can be tough lol! Nevertheless, he did perfect! The exterior was gorgeous! I didn't want to cut it but so glad I did because it tasted equally as lovely. This was a vanilla cake (favorite) with a berry mousse. It was light and airy. And the frosting wasn't overly sweet, which I find in a lot of other cakes. I would highly recommend Ji's for your special occasion!

    Beautiful detail on these edible butterflies!

    Ji was just a pleasure to work with!! My cake is beautiful and tastes amazing!! I am so happy with the experience, the product and how smooth delivery was. Fantastic!!

    Called to order a custom cake and was able to connect with Ji. She was very candid and helpful about the whole process! Her cakes look good and taste great! Everyone at the party truly enjoyed her cake. It was the right amount of sweetness (not overtly sweet) and extremely moist. She also delivers for free if the location is in irvine. Would 100% work with her again as she's extremely responsive.

    I ordered a Pokémon themed birthday cake for my son's 8th birthday. Chef Ji was easy to get in touch with by text, and her cake was both adorable looking and delicious! We went with the chocolate mousse flavor, and all of our guests loved it, especially the birthday boy! I highly recommend Chef Ji, she's friendly, very responsive and makes delicious cake!

When I searched on Google for ice cream near me- chocolate shoppe ice cream popped up then upon looking further I realized it was sold within duck donuts. Still ventured to try it Two guys working, one said he was new, and didn't know where all the flavors were / allowed us to try some b4 we ordered but was a pain bc the flavors were spread between two freezers in front of store and whatever was in the back. Placed an order for 3 double scoop cups (all they had) and took a really long time to make them having to figure out where the flavors were between the front and back of store. Then. They didn't have lids to cover them or a bag to put them in - so we literally covered each cup with another cup and put in a box I had from Costco in my trunk to get them home without dripping everywhere in my car. And I say dripping everywhere bc by the time he finished the last cup/. The others were melted from taking so long. They should probably just stick to donuts if they can't fully support the ice cream products. If I knew now/ I wouldn't have chosen to try there for ice cream. Very unfortunate, bc we probably would have loved the ice cream - but the experience clearly trumped the product.

My favorites were definitely the lavender, pistachio, and the Italian chocolate. The lavender was the most unique and would absolutely be the one I bring to wow new people. The pistachio was rich, creamy, and really well balanced. The Italian chocolate was deeply chocolatey, exactly how I like it, and I finished the whole thing in one sitting. The rose flavor is definitely for people who truly enjoy rose desserts. The strawberry was the only one that did not fully match my expectations from a high end bakery. The tiramisu was decent, more cream-forward and lighter on the coffee flavor than I expected. Overall, these pastries are definitely on the sweeter, cream-based side, and honestly, that is exactly what made them so good to me. I do not want desserts to be less sweet, I want them to feel indulgent and perfect, and these did. I will absolutely keep going back, especially for the lavender, chocolate, and pistachio pastries.

    I originally just had a craving and wanted to go buy a cake--specifically heading there for the…read more*Greenteatella*--but the owner told me it's only available on weekends . Instead, he recommended the *Creamtella* and their matcha beverages. I was absolutely blown away; who would have thought that *Cheesetella's matcha drinks would be this delicious?! There is a wide selection of matcha drinks available in-store. The owner mentioned that they use high-quality matcha (I'm guessing he meant ceremonial grade?), and he even showed me their preparation process--specifically how they whisk it to achieve that smooth, "mirror-like" finish! Matcha Einspanner Personally, I prefer this kind of simple flavor profile: matcha blended with a rich, thick cream topping. It offers a satisfyingly subtle tea aroma with every sip--a true delight for any matcha enthusiast! Strawberry Matcha w/ Pistachio Cream If you love strawberries and enjoy sweet flavors, you'll likely enjoy this one. However, since I'm not personally a huge fan of the combination of strawberry jam and matcha, I felt just "okay" about it--though it is a tasty drink! The pistachio cream topping definitely earns some extra points here! Creamtella The combination of cream and cake gave me a whole new appreciation for their pastries. The cream perfectly counteracts the cake's tendency to be a bit dry; together, they make for a truly perfect pairing! You absolutely *must* give this a try!! It gets a huge thumbs-up from me! Chocotella This one is fairly standard and straightforward. The small chocolate pieces add a nice textural element, and the flavor is a definite plus--especially if you're a chocolate lover! However, the cake itself leans a bit toward the drier side--much like their original plain flavor (which is why I still highly recommend going for the versions with added cream!) To be honest, the first time I tried their cakes, I wasn't particularly impressed. Later, I saw posts suggesting that heating them up before eating makes them taste much better. But this time, the *Creamtella* truly blew me away, completely changing my opinion of the brand. And the matcha drinks are just the icing on the cake! The owner is genuinely a wonderful person--so friendly and enthusiastic! Since it's just him and one other employee working in the shop, making the drinks takes a little time, so please be patient! ^_^

I had expected the business to be in a more high volume area, however a benefit of their corner spot was that the parking lot had plenty of spaces. There's no indoor seating, but outdoor tables were set up along the north and east perimeters of the building. I was by myself at this latest visit, and it was close to the end of the day so the inventory was quite depleted. There was no line at all which was not a surprise. The famous Strawberry Croissants and prepackaged items were on refrigerated display to the left when you walked in. As the service counter rounded a corner, there were more fresh baked goods on display before you reached a register. Across from the registers were shelves containing bags of fresh bread products. I bought a Strawberry Croissant, a Sticky Bun, a Ham and Cheese Croissant, and an Apple Croissant. The quality of the pastry dough was very good, and I could see why the Strawberry Croissant was a favorite with the customers. The croissants were light and flakey, and the powdered sugar added a delicate topping to the strawberry version. If I were to rate on just the Strawberry Croissant, then it would be five stars. My overall rating was downgraded because of the customer traffic flow. The lines can be optimized so that if you wanted to buy a six-pack of the Strawberry Croissants and/or anything prepackaged, then a separate queue should be arranged for those customers. The cafeteria trays were of limited use if you were not getting a large number of items. As you advanced in the queue, other products had to be requested from a worker behind the counter and then those were not placed on the tray. Ultimately, I think they can configure the operation to more efficiently handle the higher volume periods of the day.
