My three daughters and I started planning the party details in May 2026. I searched the internet/Yelp for a suitable bakery for the party but did not find a company that I felt could meet my standards. This party was for my wife of 44 years, and it had to be right. It was getting down to the wire, and I was getting nervous until I found Mitra Asgari, the queen of cakes. I called her, and we discussed the type of cake I was looking for. Mitra discussed her process, and by the end of the conversation, I was sold. I submitted some photos of beautiful cakes from Etsy, and Mitra and I fine-tuned the design and budget. She delivered and set up the cake on time. Mitra is a very professional business owner who takes pride in her work. She understands customer service, something that is hard to find today. Nothing but praise from my guests about the look and quality of Mitra's Red Velvet Cake. My wife was overjoyed with the final product. If you need a beautiful/quality cake, call Mitra-Art-Cake.

Everyone commented on the delicious flavors and was incredibly impressed with the beautiful design. What I loved most was how light the cakes were and that the sweetness was perfectly balanced--not overly sweet at all. I am so glad I came across Mitra. She was very nice and professional to work with throughout the entire process. She not only delivered two incredible cakes, but she also went the extra mile by taking beautiful photos and videos throughout the party, helping us capture those precious first-birthday moments. I highly recommend her!

On delivery day, the cookies were delivered promptly within my requested window. She even included extras which I was so grateful for-- they were devoured immediately (so. good.). I assumed that the cookies would be bundled in a simple cellophane bag, but these were individually wrapped and THEN carefully packaged in these adorable boxes. Just above and beyond. Everyone was raving about the cookies that night! My pics don't do these cookies justice :') They're so beautiful and well-made, melts in your mouth and just the right amount of sweet.
