Cake did not look like what I requested which I probably should have expected since it's pretty cheap compare to the other cake shops ($160 for a tall 6"). When it came to flavor it wasn't good either. Good thing we had backup cake that my sister bake and that was my guests had finished. Bought 2 dozen cup cakes too and my family and I thought a walmart cup cakes would have tasted better. I'm giving 3 stars for good customer service. They were able to accommodate me in short notice considering that day was also Easter. read more

I ordered a cake here for my brothers birthday ! It was a stripper theme birthday party, all my guest loved the cake ! I would recommend Marissa's Cake to all my friends & family. Upon pickup all I needed was my receipt and the young ladies showed me my cake. I was left in Awe! I recommend the chocolate cake with Oreo cookies and cream filling! I wish I had a photo of the cake to show the world the beauty of the cake. I will be returning to Marissa's Cake over and over ! read more

I just moved to California and I live near the area. I was throwing a 25th birthday for my girlfriend, I had googled places that make custom cakes and I came across Marissa's cake and a few more but she definitely had the best reviews and enough pictures for me to give it try. I asked her what I wanted, which was a Jack Daniels Cake, she said could do it and send her a picture of what I wanted. The price was not bad for what she did. Let's not talk about how delicious the cake was. I personally am not a cake person at all, but I definitely ate my whole piece I got. It was marble cake with chocolate fudge. It was sooooo good! I definitely will say I will go to her again, her work did not disappoint me. Thank you Marissa's cake team for doing such an awesome Job!!! read more

I did not appreciate being told over the phone the alfajores are one price and being charged a higher price at the counter. I had driven 15 minutes so I decided to purchase anyway. They also charge $1 for card transactions. The alfajores used to be good they likely changed the recipe and are not worth the drive. I will be purchasing somewhere else. The customer service has always been pretty horrible. The inside of the bakery has always been depressing. :) read more

So I was cake shopping and this was one of the cheapest places I found. I looked at the pictures and the cakes looked great and reviews were good so went ahead with my order. When I picked it up I was amazed that they replicated the pic I sent,it look great. It had a smudge on the number and they fixed it. Once I was driving home the number broke,it really didn't bother me because I had a number candle I was gonna replace it with. So when it was time to eat the cake it was so dry and flavorless!! I swear I had Walmart cupcakes that day too and they actually tasted better. I was embarrassed,good thing it was only close family and not an actual big birthday party. If you want a cake for looks come here,but it you want a cake that taste good to be ready to spend more money elsewhere. Lesson learned. Update: so they send me a message about fixing an issue and this is what they sent Hello, thank you for the reply. We have check your order and we checked if everything was good. We have been working with these same flavors for years but we understand that not everyone will like the flavors. Unfortunately, since the comment was made after 30 days, we can't solve the inconvenience. We will still keep this comment in mind for future orders. Thank you. Ha!what a joke,the main issue was the dryness of the cake. Of course it's gonna be flavorless if it's dry,also they did nothing to resolved the issue. Great customer service!(sarcasm). read more

I decided to give this place a try and was disappointed for my daughter's birthday. The cake was extremely dense. The top tier fell apart before we even got to the party. The inside was only held by one stick!? this was a two tier cake by the way. After I tried to doctor it up at the party I cut it and the slices start to fall apart. Now I understand why it all fell apart the cake was too dense and it was unable to hold even when slicing. I paid 200 for this cake, and it was honestly the worst cake I had ever ordered. The presentation was cute but it didn't deliver on the inside. So sad but I was better off doing Albertsons. read more

I found this place bc its near my job and I looked at their reviews so I ordered a chocolate flavored cake with chocolate fudge filling. Unfortunately, it was disappointing. I was instructed on how to maintain the cake up until 30 min before cutting it. Even then, the cake was dry and tasted bland, almost box caked like. The picture looked like they were running out of ink so its not the nicest imprint. Usually it wouldn't bother me so much, but for almost $100, it definitely wasn't worth it. I would have rather paid cheaper at El Super or Portos. I would have given it a two but I'm giving it a three bc the nice employee who helped me out was very informative and kind . read more

Any low star reviews you see here, DISREGARD THEM! This is a great place! I ordered cakes here 3 times and the owners Marissa and Javier go above and beyond what I expected! My first cake was a Nightmare before Christmas cake for my birthday! (Halloween baby here!) And I had a small vision and asked them to be creative and they did an amazing job! Last Halloween I asked for a Guardians of the Galaxy birthday cake themed to the attraction at Disneyland and she did an amazing job with all that detail and color scheme! I also ordered an engagement cake and the flavors, color schemes, decorations, and the way the cakes look visually are stunning! Will keep ordering cakes here! It can be "pricey" but butter cream, and fondant ain't cheap!!! And plus all that labor and details that goes on those cakes!!! read more

I was looking for someone to make a cake for my sons 1st bday. I found Marissa's Cake on Instagram. I texted the number they had on their profile and they replied super fast, they asked me what type of cake I wanted, what flavors, and how many people. I sent a reference picture and WOW it was beautiful, it looked exactly like the picture I sent. They also sent me their flavors and fillings, they have so many options. I went with marble and cookies n cream filling. It was delicious, and a lot of people asked me where it was from. Their prices are also good compared to other places I also found on Instagram. Pick up was easy, and everyone in the store was super nice. Great customer service, I recommend to everyone. read more

Completely appalling I was so disappointed with the work done to my son's graduation cake. I can't even call it quality of work because this had no quality, effort or pride put into this cake. The lady answering the phone when I called was so rude and condescending. I spoke to Marissa and got nowhere which made the situation worse. My son became upset when he saw his cake. Honestly the cake was not even ready when my mother picked it up and then they made it even worse by using a "burgundy coloring" that's not burgundy it's red. The lettering used is grotesquely painted in gold. Also, the lettering on the base are falling off. The graduation cap seriously looks like it was done by a beginner pastry chef. Marissa's Cakes should be ashamed of this work and think it is okay for them to deliver this type of work to their paying customers. read more

The service was atrocious. Apparently they double booked for the same time slot, acknowledged my appt yet served and apologized countlessly to the other party. 20 min later they brought 5 of the 6 flavors I pd for & when questioned the reply was unfortunately it's not available. Why! I had an appt so u would think they had things prepared. I spent $25 for what U see below. Dry, cold cake that must have been made who knows when. No apology for double booking, no apology for the inconvenience, nothing. I may have convinced my sister to get a cake from there but The mere rudeness and lack of just courtesy is unbelievable. They even said they were gonna give the other party a discount for their inconvenience ! If it wasn't for that nice older lady who spoke Spanish I would have left before the tasting. read more

I brought my cousin here to order a cake for her wedding. I wish we had gone somewhere else. We had an appointment for a cake tasting and everything seemed to have gone well. We tasted the cakes and one extra filling/flavor. My cousin sent the picture of the cake she wanted, picked out the flavors she wanted and everything. I saw that they printed a picture of the cake and stapled it to the papers/receipts and put it in a file. All was done and we left. The day of the wedding arrived and the kids were the first to get cake. My daughter came to the table and the first thing she said was "this is SOOOO NASTY!!!! It taste like poison!!!" My mouth dropped! She handed me the plate and I proceeded to taste it, making sure that I got a piece of the brown outside, I could literally cry. It was a nightmare. My other daughter came with her piece of cake that was from the center, so none of the brown stuff from the outside. Naturally I want to compare one piece to the other, and nothing in the world will convince me that the "strawberry" cake I was tasting wasn't a box of pillsbury cake with a bunch of pudding to make it "moist." I really want to call them and ask if we drove all the way to Downey to pay for BOX cake for a wedding. Did I think it could get worse? No. Did it actually get worse, yes. Kids being kids, they'll say what's on their mind. Most of the kids came to sit at the table next to us and I can hear them ALL saying the the cake was "disgusting," "it's going to make me throw up," "I have a nasty taste in my mouth," "ew," and just hating the one thing they were all excited about. Some of them didn't even bother to eat the rest, they left it sitting there. For a CHILD to not like cake really said it all. It was a total mess. Don't waste your time or money buying anything here. Yes the cakes look cute and pretty in the display but they're not worth the time or money. Go to professionals who know what they're doing and don't use pillsbury box cake. And please look into the reviews before booking any orders because it looks like We are not the only ones who ordered a disaster labeled "cake." read more

One word to describe Marissa's cakes...AMAZING!!!!!!!! I ordered one 6" Unicorn cake and one 3-D Cake of BB-8 (Star Wars character) for my twins' birthday. Both cakes came out amazing, especially BB-8. There was much attention to detail..it just looked impeccable. My twins were so excited when we brought out their cakes! And to top it off, the cake itself was soooo good. The red velvet cake was super moist and yummy. You could tell it was fresh. Then the other cake was strawberry which was also moist and yummy. Marissa has become my go-to for cakes :) read more

I received a cake for my birthday and I'm very disappointed in the quality of the work. I'm sad money was spent by my loved one on something that didn't look carefully crafted.The wand on my cake didn't look like a wooden wizard wand it's almost humorous. Please use google or Pinterest for the colors and designs on your baked goods it would help a lot. Look at how the owner responds tending to *attack* the customer instead of being supportive. Poor poor customer service very disappointing. This isn't about me this is about your low quality design. read more

I placed my order at 7 PM on a Friday to pick up my mom's beautiful cake on Sunday by 11 AM. Gricelda was so nice and professional taking my order and was very good communicating with me via text message. I am vegan, so unfortunately I did not eat this vanilla cake, but my family told me that it was moist, fluffy, and so good! They especially liked that the filling or outside cream was not overpowering. They already asked me for the name of this place so that they can order cakes for their families. read more

This company is professional and works hard to gain your business. I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking to purchase a cake. They have low prices as well! I called around town and the lowest price was $275 to $300 and this company only charged me $85. I drove almost an hour. They even helped me to my car to ensure my cake doesn't get damaged on the way home. Thank you for your professionalism. I appreciate you very much! read more

So my review of this place is going to change drastically, my wife ordered a cake for me for my birthday, it was nicely decorated but it was decorated with fondant which my wife had ordered to be done with buttercream frosting. I have always liked their cakes I have tried their 3 leches cake and it has been to me the best one that I have tasted. My birthday cake was by far the worst cake I have had. The fondant was to me bad I didn't eat it. The cake itself was OK. I don't know what happened to this place it was so good before. I guess I have to find another pastry shop. read more

I had a last minute cake order and they were "able" to go ahead and do something simple a marble with cajeta & stawberries(+$5) that I've previously had from here before. It was the dryest cake I've ever had seemed like an old cake they had sitting for a while no strawberries were added. I reached out about the missing strawberries and received a rude response back talking about we open at 3... 3 came around and didn't get no answer back until 3/4 the following day saying " I owe you for next time" If you can not make something happen it's simple to refuse an order as to messing up someone's event. A whole cake in the trash and money gone to waste. Never ordering from here again, there is no next time. read more
