    Birthday cake

    Beautiful cake! Went with chocolate cake and raspberry filling for the bottom layer, vanilla cake and lemon filling for the top layer. Light and not too sweet! The ordering process was easy, very responsive, the owners are so nice. Easy pick up. Thank you Minia's Bake Shop for the show stopping cake!

    This was the first time I ordered a customized cake so I wasn't sure what to expect. Thankfully, the overall process was very smooth. I emailed them with a description of what type of cake I was looking for: a pink birthday cake with a butterfly design. They promptly responded with a couple of cake size options and 4 different cake design ideas. They do require full payment upfront (venmo, paypal, cashapp, Zelle, or invoice to pay online). Their cakes consist of 2 layers and filling in the middle but from the outside appearance, you would have thought it was a 3 or 4 layer cake. That's how tall the cake was! The quality of the cake was also delicious. It was perfectly moist and the mousse filling was light and fluffy. Writing this review is making me crave for more cake. Darn it, I should have taken a bigger slice home...

    2 tier cake
    Cindy M.

    I found Minia's through Yelp and I'm SO happy I went with them!! I ordered a 2 tier cake for my parents 50th wedding anniversary and asked if she could incorporate blue hydrangeas and white roses and the final cake was GORGEOUS!! I ordered a chocolate cake for the top tier, and vanilla with strawberry for the bottom tier, and it was DELICIOUS!! Everyone raved about how beautiful and great the cake tasted! It over exceeded my expectations!! They were very friendly over text and email and very responsive. Pick up with smooth and the way the cake was packaged, was perfect for my car ride home. I would highly recommend Minia's for your cake needs!! Note about the pictures...I added the "50th" cake topper myself.

    My company hosted an event and catered over 700 cupcakes from Minia's! They were such a hit at the office. All of the cupcakes were so light and fluffy and the frosting was not too sweet. The employees loved them so much and all were gone by the end of the day! The staff was super friendly and helpful! They delivered the cupcakes to Pleasanton for a fee and event helped me carry the cupcakes inside the building. Super helpful because it was pouring rain that day.

    Birthday cake by Minia's Bakery

    Ordered a guava cake and ube cupcakes from Minia's bakery for my daughter's birthday and they were everything I asked for! The colors and design were perfect for our Blue's Clues theme. The team had great communication when I was placing the order, so it made the whole process so seamless! Pick up was easy and she was even flexible with me being a little late. Thank you for everything! We will definitely be ordering in the future.

    Cinnamoroll themed chocolate cupcakes

    Second time we ordered cake and cupcakes and it was just as delicious as last time! We ordered a vanilla Cinnamoroll cake and a dozen chocolate cupcakes for my daughter's 7th bday. Our guests enjoyed the flavors - they loved how it was light and not too sweet. Ordering and coming up with the design was super easy and everything was communicated via email. We look forward to ordering from here again!

    Sorry for the late review! I ordered a custom Winnie the Pooh cake on short notice for my wife's birthday last November. Since the celebration was earlier than planned, I had to look for someone who could accommodate my request. Jennifer and her sister was very nice and even suggested a couple designs. I asked if they can mix and match toppers and design to make what I pictured happen, and they did much more! The design of the cake itself was wonderful and very well made. The writing had a cartoonish feel to it which my wife complemented as it made it look more like straight out of the cartoon. The taste and texture of the cake is amazing. Got Vanilla with fresh strawberries. It was very light and moist. This was a very wonderful experience. Will definitely be coming back in the future! Thank you!

    Custom cake

    Amazing cake! I was able to customize and couldn't be more pleased with the result. The whole team loved the cake - the taste and the decoration. The ordering process was efficient and I was able to pay electronically. Everything was very convenient. Great customer service. Thank you!!

    Unicorn cupcakes

    Found this shop on yelp and ordered over email. Easy pick up at their store. Rainbow unicorn cupcakes were gorgeous. The frosting doesn't stain, was super airy and not too sweet. The cakes underneath were moist and fluffy. Definitely will come back for our next event.

    Spider-man themed cake Guava with strawberries and cream filling
    Lai L.

    I would've never known about this place if it wasn't for social media and foodie groups. The storefront is tucked away behind an industrial area. During the pandemic, I wanted order a Spider-man cake for a small party and reached out to Minia's. The ordering process was so smooth and easy. I sent some pictures and colors and Jennifer sent me a menu and some samples of what she could achieve for the cake design I wanted. It was so reassuring as a customer. I've had a bad experience where the baker couldn't deliver and didn't tell me, and the cake came out awful. Anyway, when I picked up the cake, the lady there was so nice and pleasant. She even gave me a candle and I was able to approve of the cake before I left. I ordered the guava with strawberries and cream and yum. I can't wait to order from them again. Not to mention, they are reasonably priced.

    Response: 5/5 Cake: 4/5 Service:5/5 Decoration:5/5 Ordering process: We ordered warriors about 70 cupcakes for our baby's first birthday (week of Thanksgiving). I communicated my requests for flavor and decoration to Jennifer through email. I felt like I provided a really complicated order (different flavors, different colors, different toppings, and some individually packaged). She reiterated and summarized everything I requested in the email along with pictures of what she's done in the past. Honestly I expected some parts of the order to come out wrong because my order was so complicated, BUT it was PERFECT. Pickup: I completely mixed up my pickup time and received a call from Jennifer as a reminder the day of. I was so grateful that she kept her store open later so I could pickup! Cupcake decor: The cupcakes were BEAUTIFUL! Completely exceeded my expectations. The coloring was vibrant and sprayed on and not mixed in the whipped cream (I was so happy about this because it minimized the food coloring). She even bought warriors theme rings for the cupcakes I wanted toppers on! I totally didn't expect that! Cupcake: There were so many creative flavors! The cake was light and not too sweet and the whipped cream frosting was light and airy! I regret not getting a filling in the cupcakes. I think that would have changed by review from a 4/5 to 5/5 for flavor. I would highly recommend Minia's Bake shop for all our cupcake needs!

    I ordered a custom cake from Sapna for my friend's 32nd birthday, and she did such a beautiful job…read more The cake was inspired by Taylor Swift, designed in the shape of a heart with a vintage touch, and it came out absolutely stunning--white, elegant, and the perfect size for the celebration. Sapna is incredibly artistic and had the cake ready right on time. The flavor was red velvet, very aesthetic and eye-catching. Personally, I usually prefer a bit more moisture in cakes, but it was still delicious and beautifully made. My friend, who has a big sweet tooth, absolutely loved it--so it turned out to be just right for her. The best way to get the ideal outcome is to share your vision with Sapna, along with your preferences for flavor and sweetness--she's very talented and will bring it to life beautifully. Overall, Sapna's creativity and attention to detail really shine through in her work, and I'd definitely recommend her for custom cakes.

Imagine our shock to find a completely different cake when we got home, just 45 mins before party start. We had to call and request them to deliver the correct cake. Fortunately this time they agreed to deliver, and the cake came in time. Unfortunately the cake itself was a big disappointment. There was no firmness or moisture in the cake - it was dry and crumbly. It could not be cut into slices at all and kept crumbling into powder, leaving us to distribute crumbs to the kids. We had to eventually throw most of it out. Total waste of money and effort.

    Review #196 - 2020…read more I've been trying my best to buy from small local businesses as much as I possibly can since this whole pandemic started. It's sad to see so many small businesses close down due to our politicians's lack of ability to put people before politics. I reached out to Khushboo after seeing her post on Facebook on Tuesday, November 17th, via messenger and she responded very quickly. The item that caught my attention were her cute hot chocolate bombs so I asked to pick some up from her on Thursday, November 19th, in time for my nieces to spend the weekend with us. My 4-year old daughter loves all things chocolate and I don't mind enjoying a cup of hot chocolate every now and then so I decided to order a 4-pack for us to try. I got the "unicorn" for my daughter since she really likes unicorn. Sadly, my daughter prefers milk chocolate over white chocolate so I ended up having to help her finish it. It was a little too much milk for my liking, but I liked the fact that it wasn't overly sweet. I got the "Tea Me Up" for myself since I do enjoy a nice cup of chai latte & it was perfect for the cold weather. Although, I must warn you that it is a little bit spicy. I got the "Chocolala" for my 11-year old niece because she likes all her food/drink to be as plain and simple as possible and this fit her taste perfectly. I got the "Guess Who's Salty" for my 15-year old niece because she loves salted caramel flavor desserts. Sadly, I received a text from her dad that she ended up in the ER for juvenile diabetes type 1--so, she never got to try it & I decided to give it to my 11-year old niece instead. The chocolate bombs are super cute and such a fun idea. They would definitely make a great stocking stuffer. Although, they're a little pricey for everyday consumption so I wouldn't recommend drinking one daily. I asked to have tiny vegan marshmallows added for $0.50/each. Very nice touch! If you ever need some hot chocolate bombs or extremely cute cakes, check out her Facebook page: https://m.facebook.com/creamyrainbows.bakery/ Please help support small businesses during this time of hardship!

    I couldn't have asked for a better experience when working with Laurel for my wedding cake. :)…read more Listen, I'm a foodie and I know a few things when it comes to cake. Laurel is the real deal! I tried a couple of her famous flavors before deciding- Neapolitan and an intense chocolate cake (I forget the exact name). Holy cannoli. First we'll talk about the Neapolitan- amazingly clever layers of chocolate and vanilla cake with not-too-sweet strawberry cream. Laurel's cake texture is perfection every time, moist and soft. The flavors were scrumptious. LOVE ON A PLATE. The chocolate which I got for my then fiance's birthday. Delicious, moist chocolate cake with layers of filling- chocolate buttercream (which I would bathe in if given the chance and guarantee that no one would judge me) as well as a light chocolate mousse. It was delicious but not too rich so that I could enjoy my whole piece of cake. I went with the Neapolitan for our wedding cake. It was gorgeous and amazing, beautifully decorated. People said they really liked it, including my sister and she is extremely picky. :P I will be going to Laurel for future cakes! I'll attach pictures when I get a chance. :)
