We love this place. The staff is amazing and super helpful. We love that it is family owned and run. The cakes and sweets are fantastic and won't break the bank. Next time you need a custome cake or one last minute head to Jojo's you will not be disappointed. read more

Had to order a last minute cake. Knew it would be difficult because needed egg, dairy and glutton free for next day. They were polite and cordial and were able to get done in time and was actually super tasty and everyone loved! Wouldn't hesitate to order through them again. Maybe for some normal bites though. :) read more

Best cake our family has had in years beautiful moist, and tasty. We will definitely be coming back.

Worst Lemon Bar I've ever eaten. Lemon curd was the consistency of sand and the shortbread crust was as hard as a rock. Ended up throwing it away. Never again. read more

I really wanted to like this place, and was excited to learn of a bakery in town I hadn't been to before. Turns out, they have been there for three years, so I thought it odd I'd never heard of it. I went in on a Saturday, hoping for breakfast danishes, but all they had were desserts. The very sweet cashier said it was because Saturdays are usually slow. This is a red flag for a bakery. I was also thrown off by the clutter and disorganization, but I was hopeful. I got a bag full of treats, and they were all stale, and mostly inedible. Pretty much total loss. The brownie was decent, but still slightly stale. Shouldn't a bakery have good fresh items available for weekend shoppers..? read more

I popped on into JoJo's bakery after having lunch next door in the same shopping plaza. The bakery recently opened up in this brick n mortar shopfront. The owner baked as a home business previously. Luv that entrepreneur spirit to expand. The bakery was in its soft opening phase. But they did for sure have a variety of cupcakes $2.50 and cookies (jumbo $3 and regular 6 for $5), chocolate covered strawberries, brownies $4 and lemon bars $4. She even sold DIY cookie kits. Everything looked darn yummy and beautifully decorated. I landed on a pumpkin cheesecake cupcake and jumbo chocolate chip cookie. It was wrapped to go. The cookie was on the crisp side. The cupcake was delicious. The cupcake had all the fall flavors in a moist dense cake. It didn't fall apart after first bite. The frosting was a perfect consistency, not runny or hard. Also not overly sweet. Ohhh that cupcake was heavenly. Still thinking about it. The owner/baker takes custom orders including cakes which seem to be her specialty. I suggest you look at her IG @jojosbakery90 and her Facebook JoJo's Bakery for photos and customer comments. The cakes are impressively decorated. Gorgeous. And she has a sense of whimsy. The owner is a local that participates her baking talent and time to alot of local charity events. #shoplocal #womenownedsmallbusivess read more

I feel bad that the cake from this place was as bad as it was. A family friend brought one for my son's birthday and you could tell she spent a lot of money on it. The cake was very pretty, but inedible. The cake itself weighed a ton. It was overly sweet and all you could taste was sugar and it was soooo dry. 10 guests and no one could eat more than a bite or two. Everyone politely said they were full and left it at that. The next day we all called each other to talk about the cake. It was the worst anyone had ever had. But it was decorated very nicely ;) read more

Cake was delivered extremely late with phone calls of every excuse in the book. Ranging from, it's too hot for a cake (temp was low 80s) then we weren't a venue and didn't have proper refrigeration(which we did and talked about having room in fridge), then a claim of homeless incident that police have zero recollection on. Very stressful for a wedding day. Cake was finally put into place after the ceremony around 5:30. At 7:30 the cake was still frozen and couple couldn't even cut through first layer. First layer was burnt and tasted awful. Well known local caterer cut remainder and second and third layer also frozen. She swears she never freezes cake and only had in freezer for 20 minutes. We approached JoJo and she insisted she had to "look into this" with the California food standards. Very confused on why that matters. Cake should've been in place before wedding. The design was also supposed to be fine lace and a picture was sent. She said that it was a "copyright" problem to design fine lace. We also ordered cookies and some looked okay and others like a child made them. Everything about this experience was awful. Definitely don't recommend this business especially for a wedding. She even had excuses of the drive was too long and worker needed gas. We just wanted cake in place on time agreed. If you do sign a contract... know that her arrival time is one thing and she gives herself 3 extra hours to assemble. So it may or may not be ready when you hope for. read more

These girls definitely make super yummy and super cute cakes! They are great for any occasion! Definitely recommend!! read more

I was very unhappy with the presentation and quality of this cake. They were just finishing squeezing in the writing on the cake when I walked in. I asked for fall color butter cream roses. They had these ridiculous looking fake flowers taking up the whole top of the cake. I was in a hurry so no time to change it. My friend and I changed the decorations . I was embarrassed when we were at the restaurant with 10 friends and they cut the cake. The cake was not moist or fresh. It was hard. The butter cream frosting was ok. I paid $38.00 for a 6" cake. I would expect better. I won't be going there again or referring them. read more

Jojo's Bakery - Very unhappy with this cake! - Custom Cakes Near Me - Placerville, California

Wanted something sweet and I thought I would give them a try. Got a chocolate peanut butter cupcake. It was an average size cupcake, tasted good except for the greasy butter cream on top which tasted like it was on the verge of going bad. $3.50 is also a little pricey for a chocolate cupcake with a small amount of peanut butter squeezed in the center. read more

Wife and I stopped in while picking up dinner from next door. Smelled lovely when we first walked in, I am a sucker for chocolate butter cream and the chocolate cupcake didn't disappoint. Frosting was smooth and velvety with no trace of graininess. Cupcake was moist and not to sweet, a very nice balance between cake and icing. We will be back to try the lemon cupcake and those brownies are just screaming for a scoop of ice cream on top sometime this summer. read more

This is not the correct address for Jojo's bakery. The bakery is located in Placerville. The owner confirmed with yelp that this account was created by someone else and has been stealing our information and posting false information. read more

The cake was barely edible. It consisted of thick layers of excessively sweet buttercream (very innovative!) and sponge cake drenched in additional sugar. None of the guests at the table ate their slice. Overall, it reflects very mediocre home-style baking rather than professional quality. read more

Do not order from this bakery!! I have now ordered from them twice in two years and I have had issues both times. Went to pickup as scheduled on day of party and they were closed and once I finally got ahold of them, I was told they were over an hour away at a wedding and wouldn't be back for hours. Their solution was to offer free delivery when the party would be over and when we did finally pick up we receive a few small snickerdoodles in a box and they told the person picking up to "apologize for them". Cupcakes taste generic and not impressed by any of my party guest. Better off getting my cupcakes from Safeway. 0/10 read more

I ordered this cake for my son and daughter-in-law's baby shower. I had over 35 people there when we served the cake. I was so embarrassed because it tasted a lot like cornbread with bad flour. It was very dry. The buttercream frosting was OK. Not bad. Also, It was supposed to be a marble cake, but ended up, just looking like a white cake with what looks like dirt, near the buttercream center. Which was I guess, supposed to be the chocolate part? They definitely do not know how to do a marble cake. The cake weighed so much I could not lift it myself to get it out of my car and into the house. I had to get help to bring it in the house. That's just ridiculous to me, ridiculous! But mostly it just simply tasted awful. I was very embarrassed at the baby shower as my guests tried to eat the cake. The consensus of "everyone" was that it was way too dry and just tasted horrible. Definitely not a marble cake which is what I ordered. Again very dry!!! Just the worst cake I've ever tasted. The cake cost $126. The biggest waste of my money I've ever spent. Still apologizing to people for how dry the cake was. Ugh, I can't stress enough how horrible it tasted. The decorating on the cake was done well but the colors were way too muted. Just very dull looking. Please don't order from this bakery, just the worst. read more

I have had many things from here and always taste so good and fresh. She goes out of her way to make sure everything is to your liking. The bakery is finally open and it is so cute inside. Hope to get more tasty treats soon. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. By far the worst experience my husband and I have ever had with a business. This baker/owner completely ruined our cake/cupcake order for our wedding, the week of and took no accountability or action to fix her error. At first, it seemed like a great fit because she was close to our wedding venue and could accommodate our cake and cupcake order. Then the problems arose when we requested and paid for a cake tasting box. I paid on May 5 and she said it would ship out the next day. After not receiving it by May 11, I emailed her and she didn't even have my address to sent it out! She finially sent the tasting out on May 14, a week before my wedding and requested a signature on it. So when it was delivered and no one was home USPS took it back and we didn't get it till that Monday and it all spoiled. When I told her about the incident we kept going back and forth with her blaming me and my husband for not being home and just apologizing without any resolution. She would not accommodate us with a new tasting or a refund. She finally agreed to refund me if I delivered the tasting back on a Friday. I was not able to because I live 2 hours away and left it outside the business on a Sunday because it says on their website, their hours were 7am to 10pm everyday. Which she said aren't, so also false advertising of business hours. And the icing on the cake is she tried to tell me she reported me to her local authorities because Venmo suggested she do so because I said I'd write a bad review and tell people to not deal with such a bad business. Umm ok.. Don't work with this bakery unless you want to be deeply disappointed and blamed for their faults. But go to California Flour! They absolutely saved the day!! read more
