This is really late but hey, I just became a "Yelper"! Debbie made the cake for our wedding, yes it was beautiful, and it was oh so good. I brought her pictures of ideas I had and the style of our outdoor wedding and she NAILED IT! Not only did she do the cake but she also had all kind of ideas to help on my 100% small budget DIY wedding. They helped decorate and also helped us set up and helped clean up too. I do not think our day could have been pulled off within her and her husband. She has a great gift, she is loving and super creative. You cannot go wrong with her. read more

I have an update. Debbie is a wonderful loving person with great creativity. I think she needs to limit herself to how much she can do though. She said she hates June weddings because of the heat and everyone gets married that month. I don't blame her and we didn't want to but it worked best for us. We orginally talked about all of these creative things she was going to do to our cake adding items to it to embelish it. We had a flat sheet cake for our wedding with a tree on top. The tree was gorgeous and very yummy! It was not as thick as we hoped though, so we really couldn't serve it to our guests. And the flat sheet cake was just that....a flat sheet cake with a tree and a tent thrown on top. A few airbrush marks and that was it! She talked about adding all of these cool 3-d architecturally interesting elements to make it look more realistic and rustic. Then we decided to do a lavender white cake. She doesn't normally do that, so she really tried to get the flavor just right which we really appreciated. We kept asking if the cake could be lighter like the chocolate cake. And she said she could not adjust it, that's just how it is. I find that weird. If you are a baker then you should be able to modify it. So we had to go with a chiffon cake instead which is like angel food. I wasn't super impressed with it, but it was lighter than her regular white cake. Also the cake arrived about 40 minutes late at our wedding. Not too big of a deal, but not great. Also getting a hold of this women is nearly impossible! We set up 3-4 appointments and 2 of them she didn't show up to! She appologized for one and said it was my fault on the other! Very frustrating on that end too. She is wonderful and I would highly recommend her in her off seasons. I'm sure she could have more time to put her creativity into it because she is very creative! read more

Debbie did a fantastic job on our wedding cake! I sent her a picture of my idea and she matched it exactly! Everyone loved it, it was fresh and flavorful and I plan to use her many times again in the future! read more

Debbie made a beautiful Hello Kitty cake for my daughter's 2nd birthday. The red velvet cake, with cream cheese frosting and a layer of chocolate in the middle was divine! I called her on a tuesday to see if she could make me a cake for that sunday. She called me back on wednesday and said "No problem!". The only thing that got me a little nervous is her communication. While she did everything we talked about, I left her a message about getting a bigger cake and I never heard back from her until I went to pick up the cake. She had gotten my message but didn't let me know. I will go back to Debbie for my next cake! She was very friendly when I picked up the cake and even cut $5 off the price because she didn't have change. If you need a great cake and don't want to pay a ridiculous amount of money, call Debbie. She more than delivers! read more

I ordered a cake from Debbie this Easter and it turned out absolutely AMAZING! I described to her what I wanted ( a rabbit coming out of a tree stump with flowers) and it turned out even better than what I had pictured in my head. Not only was the cake adorable, but it was probably the best cake I have ever had. The outside of the stump was made of white chocolate and then inside was a white cake, with raspberry custard filling and fresh raspberries, on top of that, the rabbit was a chocolate cake pop!! I would highly recommend coming here. read more

What a pleasure! Debbie made cupcakes and a small birthday cake for a 70th birthday/movie party. Lots of custom decorations in honor of the birthday guy's many hobbies and interests and the silent-movie theme. (She even copied the "typeface" from a movie poster on the cake.) Everything was easy--tasting, ordering, value, and pickup--and the results were beautiful and delicious. read more

I am writing a review for customer service only. I haven't tried the cakes yet, but I will tell you I plan on doing so as soon as I can. I was looking for a last minute cake in the busy wedding and graduation window -- silly me. Anyway, I left a message with Debbie and she promptly returned my phone call, even though she didn't have the avilability to help me with my cake. I appreciated the quick call back and that she didn't "leave me hanging" especially since she wasn't going to be making any money off of me (right now). Kudos to a woman who knows how to run a personable business. I *will* be back to order a cake...next time with a few more days notice. read more

Debbie saved the day at my brother's wedding! My brother had his heart set on a colored cake instead of a traditional white cake. Unfortunately this request didn't make it into the order notes, so the cake arrived white (though beautiful!). When we saw my brother's crestfallen face, we knew we had to call Debbie to see if anything could be done. She was amazing and drove all the way back to the wedding venue with supplies to change the color of the cake. It was exactly what my brother had imagined and made him so happy. What a wedding cake super heroine! THANK YOU! As if the last-minute makeover wasn't enough, the cake was delicious. I have never seen a wedding cake go so fast. Slices with bites taken out of them that weren't watched for a second were stolen away by other guests! read more

Was nearly impossible to get ahold of this business. Called 4 times and left 2 voicemails. Once i was able to get the business email, she didn't respond until 6 days after. After i emailed her with all of my details, she never replied to confirm. Very unfortunate because i hear such good things from this business and i really wanted them to make my cake :( read more

Debbie, thank you so much for absolutely gorgeous cake for our daughters 3rd birthday! We loved it so much, that we absolutely have to have another one! Absolutely amazing bakery! Also thank you so much for delivering the cake. You are so nice! Looking forward to working with you again. read more

I called her to order a blues clues cake for my son's 2nd birthday. She took about a week to respond to my call so I had found another bakery in the meantime. With the new bakery I choose the cake I wanted would be about $120.00. She quoted me at $40.00. I needed to save a little money so I went with her. I never previewed a cake and just told her what I wanted over the phone. On my son's birthday it was storming like crazy, hailing, lightning, thunder and thgfde power was out. She delivered the cake with no added delivery fee. The cake was absolutely beautiful and more than I could have expected. I was a bit nervous ordering over the phone however, she exceeded my expectations. The cake was more than perfect and only $40.00. It was exactly what I wanted and more. She also brought extra raspberry to put on top of the cake as I served it. read more

I'm 9 months late in my review of my wedding cake, but whenever I see the pictures I say to myself that I should remember to write a review and I'm finally doing it today :) Debbie is AMAZING!!! she is so kind, helpful, caring and artistic!! she made such an amazing, delicious cake for both my bridal shower and wedding. loved the design, loved the taste and loved working with her!! Thank you Debbie!!!! read more

I ordered a princess castle cake for my daughter's 4th birthday and it was a hit! The cake was just unbelievable!!! Everyone loved the cake! Everything from the looks to the taste was A+!! Many more cakes to be ordered from here! Thanks Debbie!! read more

The first time i got a cake with Debbie i was very happy with her work. I wanted a cake for both my son and daughter and she made a volcano with Dinosaurs and butterflies, which turned out amazing and very delicious. So the following year we moved out of town and still made an order with Debbie. My son got a PlantsvsZombies cake and my daughter got some gorgeous stiletto cupcakes. The cakes here are delicious & I hope to continue to get my kids their b-day cakes here read more

We hired Debbie from Not Just Cheesecakes for our 2005 summer wedding. We met with her in her cute Campbell shop after playing voicemail tag for about three weeks. We designed the cake ourselves and she assured us she would be able to do it, even adding in a monogram to the sides of the cake. Although Debbie specializes in cheesecakes, she also offers other flavors and different types of cake. On our wedding day our cake was exactly what I wanted and tasted pretty good. The cheesecake was a big hit because not many people expected it for dessert. Its a bit difficult getting a hold of Debbie and even though she might take awhile to get back to you, she eventually does. Her prices are very reasonable and she delivers the cakes herself. She uses fresh berries, never freezes the cakes and she is very sweet and helpful when it comes to deciding on the cake flavors. read more

I was referred to Debbie from Not Just Cheesecakes for my wedding by a friend. I am so glad I was! From the moment we met I got the best vibe from Debbie. My fiance, my mom and me had a meeting/cake tasting with Debbie and she had us at hello. I had spoken to her over the phone I asked if she did marzipan and other flavors I was curious about and she had them at the tasting. She had us try a white cake with raspberry filling with marzipan, red Velvet cake with cream cheese filling, a chocolate cake with a chocolate ganache filling and a white chiffon cake with orange zest and lemon custard. As we tasted cake we threw a few ideas back and forth and talked for hours! By the time came for us to leave we were pretty confident we were going to go with Debbie as our cake vendor. We went to a few other meetings with other bakers and they just weren't the same caliber. I put a deposit down a few weeks later with Debbie. A few months later I was on the Not Just Cheesecake website and I came across a list of her flavors and that's when I saw "Almond cake". I called Debbie right away and asked if we could try the almond cake as well as another flavor she had mentioned to us, Ollalieberry. I asked her about fillings and we had previously talked about bananas so she said she could fill the almond cake with bananas and offered for us to try a chocolate cake with bananas as well. So I get a call on a Thursday to come in on a Saturday afternoon to pick up a few samples she would have ready for us. What we tasted was heaven!!!!!! Bananas get brown pretty quickly so Debbie ended up sauteing the bananas in a brown sugar rum and it was so delicious we decided the whole display cake would be Almond cake with sauteed bananas with a few sheet cakes ( red velvet with cream cheese, and the white cake with the raspberry and marzipan). When it came to decorating the cake Debbie helped me tweak my vision and the end result was magnificent! We had Debbie place our monogram on the cake as well as the scroll design from our invitations. The flowers Debbie place in between the tiers were gorgeous as well and went well with the cake and our wedding. The cake was awesome and so was the attention to detail. Needless to say everyone at the wedding LOVED the cake and thought it was beautiful!!! I can't wait to have another celebration just to have Debbie bake me another cake. :) I love love love Debbie! read more

We used Not Just Cheesecakes for our wedding cake and desserts and it was such a fun and amazing experience! Debbie was very fun, personable and excited to help us make our desserts just the way we wanted! She provided stands and table cloths that made everything come together even more beautifully. AND the best part of course was that she made plenty of time for us to try everything we were ordering. She also has great prices, especially for the yummy quality. We ordered regular and hazelnut cheesecake (to die for!) and cookies, pumpkin cupcakes, apple tarts and a wedding cake of red velvet and carrot cake. I would recommend her to anyone and will be using her again for future occasions! read more

*********This place is worth more than 5 stars. ************** Hiring Debbie and Tracy to bake, decorate and coordinate my wedding was the best decision I made during that time. They were on board to suggest and implement things I would never think about, like lighting a bug repellant candle before the guests arrive for our outdoor wedding. They made the trip to scope out or location, which wasn't local. She brought our vision of a rustic, elegant wedding to life, with mostly the use of verbal descriptions. very budget friendly, didn't pressure us to buy or do more than we really wanted. every once in a while you find a business that goes above and beyond what you paid for. I highly recommend using her for your event. you will not be disappointed. read more

We ordered a cake for my dad's 60th birthday from Debbie and boy were we blown away! She made a custom tool box for him with his favorite brand Bosch. The guests kept thinking the cake was fake! That's how good it was! I have recommended many friends of mine to Debbie and they have all been very happy. My friend just ordered her bridal shower cake from her and we know without a doubt it will look perfect! Can't wait! read more

Debbie made my wedding cake and was such a joy to work with from the initial consultation when my fiancé and I brainstormed with Debbie about the type of cake we wanted to the wedding day. The cake was beautiful and delicious. The two things I appreciated most about her were: (1) The way she guided us in selecting flavors and the design of the cake to incorporate other colors, and themes we had in our wedding. This was really important to us as having never been married, we had no idea what we wanted; and (2) The joy and spirit she brings to her craft. You can really tell that she loves what she does and it comes out by the extra effort she takes. Finally, on the day of the wedding my florist brought flowers to the wedding that were to be placed on the cake at the reception, unfortunately we forgot to brings those fresh cut flowers from the wedding site to the reception to place on the cake. No worries, even though we had assured Debbie that we would supply the flowers for the cake, Debbie had brought her own flowers just in case. This is just an example of what I said above about the care she takes in here work. Yea! Debbie read more

Debbie took great care of me for my wedding cake! It turned out perfect and looked so amazing! We had a travel theme and she made us the most beautiful globe cake! I had talked to other bakers and they were not responsive to my wants/needs, or were about to charge me something ridiculous, Debbie was not only reasonable, she was really concerned about my vision and making sure the cake would be perfect at my wedding! read more

ARRRRGH, Ma tie! For the best Pirate Ship cake with Masthead and swash bucklers, Debbie is the BOM.COM! She also made a Red Barn with animals, green grass and a white picket fence for our "Baby petting Zoo" party. This year I've made the call to plan our extravaganza, whatever the theme, I know Debbie with use her genius skills to create not only the party Wow factor but will also create a cake that taste buds were invented for. Signed, Big Fans in the Mid-Peninsula read more

My dad was having his 90th birthday and I wanted a special cake. I talked to Debbie about his life. She created the perfect thing - lemon mousse cheesecake in the form of a suitcase covered in travel stickers, plus a chocolate chunk cake in the shape of a paint can with an edible paint brush on top of the suitcase and a "postcard" of a WWII PBY airplane with a banner that read, "...and the journey continues" All edible and also delicious. Thank you Debbie! read more

Debbie at Not Just Cheesecakes baked us an amazing wedding cake this past September! Debbie is a master of her craft and very easy to work with. We didn't really know what we wanted, but Debbie was able to figure out what our vision was, and she delivered a beautiful cake that was even better than we expected. She is so easy to talk to that we bounced some of our other wedding ideas off of her, and she was more than happy to help. She helped us design our guestbook table and even helped set it up at the venue! We will definitely recommend Not Just Cheesecakes to our friends and family! read more

SOOOOO LOVE DEBBIE!! She is the bomb, not only did she make a beautiful cake for us, she did it for a great price, and it was worth twice what other bakeries charge!! All the guests LOVED the cake, they wanted to know who made it, and Debbie also had some great suggestions about other aspects of the wedding. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND her and will be contacting her for anniversary cakes. read more

My wife and I had Debbie create our wedding cake the weekend of December 19th. We were planning the wedding from Oregon and Debbie was great to work with over the phone. We told her our price range and style and she was able to accommodate us very easily. The cake looked just as we had expected when it arrived on our wedding day and all of the guests loved it! We had numerous people say that it was the best cake that they had ever had. I would recommend working with Debbie to anyone, and although she only answers the phone a few days a week, give her a chance to call you back... She seems very busy but is also very organized. Fantastic cake and we would definitely order cake from her again, she really was a joy to work with! read more

She's great at what she does, we had a confusion with the price since we were on a budget and she worked with us. Everyone loved my cake, it looked and tasted great! read more

It was my daughter's five year birthday and I chose Debbie primarily based on all the yelp reviews and especially because of repeated mention of her positive ways of working with customers. I'm so glad having made this decision. When we spoke over phone, Debbie asked me a few questions about what my daughter would like for a theme and what fruit she likes and then made a few suggestions that I'd not have thought about. It was a quick but pleasant ordering process. The design that Debbie came up with (a stunning gift box in pink and white, and complete with beautiful polka dots on the sides) won rave reviews and the cake was delicious. Debbie: trust me, I'll come back to you and I look forward to seeing what design you have in mind when my son turns ten this June :) read more

Debbie is awesome! She did a custom cake for my wifes birthday at the last minute and it came out perfect!!! Reasonable prices and great looking cakes! read more

AMAZING! That's all I can say!! Debbie is an artist a creator you name it. Most guests walking in thought it was the envelope card or dcor, some guessed right. Aside from the outside, the cheesecake itself was delicious. Most people when to dig up a slice of both favors. We took along with us the top and enjoyed a few bites of it. She offers to bake you a 1 year anniversary top, you just have to place the order a month in advance. Yay for no frozen cake! read more

There are not enough words to say how amazing and talented Debbie is. I had a gluten-free white chocolate cheesecake made for my wedding. What Debbie created by far exceeded my expectations, not only in the way she adhered to my dietary restrictions but in her creativity and attention to detail. Thank you, Debbie for a delicious and beautiful cake, you really made for a memorable evening that I will never forget. read more

We hired Debbie for our wedding. I agree with all the reviews here. She's very talented and sweet. I liked that she would tell us what she liked and did not like when it came to the design of the cake. I even saw her the day of my wedding deliver and setup the cake herself. read more

I have nothing but good things to say about Debbie. Debbie created a Tiffany gift box cake for my bridal shower this past Sunday and delivered the cake to our location (CA Cafe in Los Gatos) at no extra fee. It was absolutely amazing! The cake was the most beautiful Tiffany cake I've seen and it tasted delicious (red velvet with cream cheese)! Everyone kept saying how much they loved the cake. Debbie is a pleasure to work with---warm, friendly, professional. She is hard to get a hold of at first, but responds well to email. I would recommend her to anyone planning a special event because she will give her 100% to make it wonderful. read more

we used Debbie to make our wedding cake , we couldn't have been more pleased, she made the best cakes out of all the ones we tasted (and trust me we tasted a lot) she had the best attitude, was the most accommodating and creative, and she created such a masterpiece that we were super happy! not just cheesecakes is wonderful and with all that said she was also the least expensive LOVE HER!

I'm a wedding videographer (www.signetringfilms.com) and get to see a lot of beautiful cakes. Seeing them from behind a camera, (and then seeing them over and over again during the editing process) there are some that stand out, either because of the excellence of the vendor or because of the excellence of the cake. This one, i guess, is about the excellence of both: I filmed a wedding in which the cake impressed me so much that I had to ask about the vendor afterward. I was told the vendor was "Not Just Cheesecakes". The guests were definitely impressed with the taste. But for me, the cake's design was so lovely: It was a three tiered square cake, with calla lillies, ribbon, and pearls wrapped carefully about it. It was truly unique, and when I asked the groom after the wedding about his cake vendor, he couldn't stop sharing with me what a great experience working with her had been. Thought I'd pass this along. read more

1) Vanilla cake with chocolate chunks and chocolate mousse and chocolate ganache filling 2) Chocolate cake with raspberry and chocolate mousse filling 3) Chocolate cake with toffee, hazelnut, and chocolate chunks 4) Tiramisu cake - no fillings needed plain d-e-l-c-i-o-u-s! 5) Lemon tart - amaaaaaaazing 6) Tiramisu tart - phenomenally mouthwatering 7) Chocolate brownies...delectable 8) Carrot cake with the most amazing cream cheese frosting your mouth has ever tasted (and I'm a total chocolate person) And these are just a few of the sweet treats that we've ordered over the years. So you get the idea...I LOVE chocolate and I LOVE Not Just Cheesecakes! ~HOW WE MET DEBBIE~ Debbie did our wedding cake back in 1998 and eleven years later we are still using Not Just Cheesecakes to celebrate all our special moments in life. We have ordered at least 40 cakes/cheesecakes over the years and have NEVER been disappointed. Debbie's enthusiasm and talent speaks for itself and most definitely shows up in her cakes, or works of art as we like to describe them! Debbie is ALWAYS surprising us with her new and fabulous ideas for our life celebrations. At this point in our relationship I just tell her the theme and what cake flavors we want and I let her creative juices run freely. Our most recent creation was just about two weeks ago for my baby girl's first birthday. It was a large lovely pink and brown cupcake with polka dots. It truly was the cutest cake ever and was a huge hit at the party as Debbie's cakes always are and of course it tasted phenomenal! She is truly an artist and her cakes are heavenly. I cannot imagine a special occasion without one of Debbie's scrumptiously delightful cakes in it! We can't wait for the next special occasion so we can order another one of Debbie's magnificent cakes. Did I mention my birthday is in November? Looks like I'll be calling Debbie! : ) read more

Our wedding cake was beyond words. Our guests didn't even want us to cut it since it was a piece of art. My photographer couldn't stop taking pictures of our cake. The cake design for our masquerade wedding was beyond my expectations. The amount of detail and complexity of the design blew me away and my guest speechless. We did end up cutting the cake and it was even more delicious. I met Debbie 11 years ago when I ordered my parents 25th Anniversary cake so when I was getting married I couldn't think of anyone else except Not Just Cheesecakes. They are EXCELLENT and make the best looking and tasting cakes. I have referred Debbie to several of my friends who are going to get married in the next coming years. There isn't any other bakery I would use for any special event. Thank you Debbie for making our wedding so magical. read more

All the girls said how pretty it was and how lucky my daughter was to have such a cool cake. Debbie I cant thank you enough. You are so talented!! Cant wait for the next birthday so I can order my next yummy amazing cake. THANK YOU!!! read more
