    My husband and I ordered our wedding cake at Palette along with an order of assorted cookies. (Don't miss out on the cookies!) The cake was so beautiful and brought our vision to life. Kellie at Palette cakes was personable, is an incredible baker and expert level cake decorator. On top of the cake being fantastic, the delivery to Park Winters was seamless. Our guests were equally as impressed with our cake and desserts at the wedding and continue to talk to us about the peanut butter chocolate and vanilla raspberry wedding cake.

    I was heading to brunch at a friend's house and my job was to bring dessert. I wanted to bring something from a local baker, so went on Yelp to see what was near me. This charming bakery popped up! The Velasquezes own and operate this great shop with not only beautiful, but tasty desserts. They were so friendly and helpful. I asked them to give me three of their favorite desserts to take to my brunch. The desserts did not disappoint. We had a mini cheesecake, mini lemon tart and a vanilla creme puff. They were beautiful and packed carefully for the drive across town. Kellie has an amazing, professional pastry chef pedigree, which is apparent in all of the desserts on display. I've already decided to order myself a birthday cake from them in May. If you're looking to support a local business, look no further!

    Go try all the sweets made by Pallete Cakes, already! Yes, I might be eating the cheesecake in a bowl with additional fruits (considering I don't have sweet tooth this is normal for me), but that one serving cheesecake from Pallete Cakes is amazing! Every bite has an exceptional taste! I got it for my birthday and will be my go to from now on! We also got lemon merengue and fruit tarts which I got to taste and they are yummy! Everyone is very friendly and can help you with what you need or give you enough time to choose! If you are in need of a cake for a birthday or weddings or any celebration, they are your people!

    Chocolate Pot de Crème

    I love this bakery! I go to school around 10 minutes away and I saw this bakery online. Me and my boyfriend ordered individual desserts; I got the chocolate pot de creme and my boyfriend got the vanilla creme puff. The chocolate pot de creme was $11.75 and the vanilla creme puff was $6.95. I thought it pretty pricey initially but after tasting the pastries, I think it was very understandable. The cash register was a sweet lady and recommended the pastries to us. The inside was cute, bright, and simple. I love the accessories of flowers on the inside. It's a little small inside so there's not much room for dining in; there's about 2 small tables. First time here and I'm looking into ordering for events.

    Always a pleasure visiting this gem! Kellie and Carlos are the friendliest and most hospitable business owners around. Whether you're looking for a cake for your special occasion or a spontaneous little slice of heaven, this is your next stop! Check out the case of goods, everything is made from scratch and pure love. Major bonus points for it being one of the cleanest establishments I've ever set foot into. Cheers to the best bakery in the greater-Sacramento region.

    What a wonderful cake shop! It was exciting to see this new shop here in Carmichael. I bought a lemon tart and a confetti cupcake. The lemon tart was so soft and sweet, with its decadent marshmallow merengue. The cupcake was decorated with its mound of frosting. Perfect for birthdays. Let's talk about the beautiful wedding cakes. These look amazing. I was so impressed with all the sugar flowers!! Wow! I will be returning to try more.

    We cannot say enough about how delicious and gorgeous our wedding cake was! Kellie was already booked for our wedding weekend because of our own fault in waiting too long after our tasting to confirm with her. She went above and beyond and offered to still make our cake and our wedding coordinator transported it for us! Kellie was so easy to work with, friendly, kind, communicative, and oh my word what an artist! I gave her free rein to use her talents and design our cake. I just told her the vibe of our wedding and examples of what my bouquet might look like. Our cake was truly a work of art and everyone raved about how delicious it was! Our top layer was gluten free and let me tell you, a week later when we returned from our honeymoon, still so fresh we devoured it! Will have to have her make us a mini for our anniversary because there's nothing left! Thank you Kellie!

    I was going to brunch with my bestie and we decided to stop in for a sweet treat for later. Blown away by the flavors and amazingness. My favorite was the key lime tart! The cake art was beautiful! Modern decor inside. All the tables had booked for tasting signs which I get but still, maybe have one for if someone wanted to eat on there premise. Otherwise please support local and give them a try!

    Kellie was absolutely incredible to work with. She created my wedding cake and dessert table back in 2022 and my family and guests still talk about how beautiful they not only looked, but tasted. It's honestly hard to believe her florals are edible, they are so realistic looking. (see attached photos) From the very first phone call, she was so sweet and understanding. She took my vision and absolutely crushed it. The entire process was stress free. Exceeding my expectations would be an understatement. BRIDES......book Palette Cakes asap! It'll be the best decision you make, trust me.

    Wonderful service and delicious treats We ordered a birthday cake from Palette Cake and had a great experience. The staff were warm and welcoming, and they made my son feel completely comfortable. Both the cake and the cupcakes were delicious. Highly recommend.

    Palette Cakes was a dream come true! They were amazing from start to finish! The tastings we did before were divine! The flavors they had were spectacular! She did the most beautiful simple white cake for me with a giant bow and our guests loved it! We will definitely keep coming back for our different milestones!

    Kellie was an absolute dream to work with - she was super open and communicative throughout the process of creating my dream engagement and wedding cake. She brought our vision to life and had great suggestions. We and our guests LOVED the cakes and the assortment of flavors. I would recommend anyone looking for a cake for their special occasion to work with her. We can't wait to recommend her across our friends and family! Thank you for everything Kellie

    Kellie did an amazing job on our wedding cake. From the start her communication was excellent with every detail discussed from the taste testing and flavor selection to the sketch approval of the design, the process was seamless. We decided to do 3 flavors, one for each tier (cream cheese strawberry on vanilla, cream cheese blueberry on lemon and vanilla apricot on almond). The sugar flowers were stunning and the flavors were unique and delicious! Highly recommend!

I was pleasantly surprised by the selection of cakes and specialties, as well as pastries that were available. I chose a bear claw and decided to eat that while I was there, since there was no way to eat that in the car with the powdered sugar, etc., making a mess. They put it on a plate and brought it to me. I also chose a Napoleon and a slice of carrot cake and a peanut butter cookie to take to go. I asked if they had a pick that said happy birthday and she went in the back and found one for me so it was one stop shopping for what I needed. What I was so surprised with was they have crêpes and sandwiches and many items I was unaware of. I definitely will have to come back and try some more and maybe come back for lunch or brunch. The lady was super helpful and friendly. There's nice seating inside if you want to eat your goodies here as well.

From the very beginning, she was thoughtful, creative, and so easy to work with. She brought us the most beautiful and intentional cake tasting box, filled with a variety of flavors that we could mix and match to create different combinations. Every single flavor was unreal. I've honestly never tasted cake like this before and we love cake. Everything was so moist, flavorful, and truly perfection in every bite. We had a hard time picking our favorite so we went with two different flavor combos.  Vy created an absolute masterpiece for our wedding. Not only did it taste incredible, but it was also such a stunning piece of art to look at. It was one of those cakes you almost didn't want to cut because it was so beautiful. By the end of the night, every single slice of cake was gone, which says everything. Our guests absolutely loved it. We already can't wait to order from her again for our anniversary and future celebrations.

It kept well in the refrigerator and brought back to room temperature a half hour before serving. Highly recommend, can't wait to try more. Thankful for this local business' masterful execution of specialty flavors!

    I've been coming to Estelle's Bakery & Patisserie for years since I used to live only a block away,…read moreso it became one of my favorite places to walk to for tea and desserts. I've since moved out of state, but during my last visit in January this year, the treats and drinks were just as delicious as I remembered. This was always one of my favorite spots to spend a few hours catching up with girlfriends over tea and pastries. The ambience is lovely and gives off fancy tea party vibes, making it perfect for casual conversations, book discussions, or just relaxing with something sweet. My personal favorites are the rose macaron and the mont blanc desserts. If I'm feeling hungry, I usually order the ratatouille, and the vanilla bean French toast is amazing when I want something sweet but filling. Matcha is always my go-to drink here too (though it's on the sweet side, so I don't think it's ceremonial grade). I remember my first visit; It was when I stopped by later in the day looking for a birthday cake for my son's 8th birthday about five years ago. I ended up choosing their chocolate mousse cake on a whim since it was one of the cakes they still had on display, and it turned out to be a good decision. My son loved it, but it was too chocolatey for me so he ended up having most of the cake. Still one of the memories I remember most from here. It was something I kept in mind that if I wanted more options and variety, I should arrive earlier in the day. There are a few downsides that keep this from being a full 5 stars for me though. The parking lot is very small and street parking can be difficult, especially during busy hours. The place gets crowded very easily, which is why I usually preferred walking there when I lived nearby. There's often a guard stationed at the front kindly holding the door open, though I imagine that's also due to the neighborhood. Pricing is definitely on the expensive side, but honestly that's fairly expected with a patisserie. My biggest issue is that service can noticeably decline when they're overwhelmed. Depending on when you visit, the line can get absurdly long (almost out the front door), and I've experienced slower service and even had my drink mixed up with another customer's order once. Since I order oat milk due to lactose intolerance, getting the order correct is pretty important. Thankfully, when the bakery isn't overly busy and adequately staffed, the employees are attentive, friendly, and very helpful with the ordering process if you have questions. It is still one of the Sacramento bakeries I miss after moving away. It was so lovely to have a bakery down the street from home.

I was in the neighborhood, and so I decided to stop by and try this place based on the reviews. The place is bright and clean, they have a good sized selection, and the lady that ran the place was very very friendly. Overall, the two cookies I had were OK. The first cookie I had was the chocolate cookie dough frost 'em. The cookie was a very good sized, and the cookie itself tasted good, but it had a bit of a gritty texture. Also, the cookie was way too sweet. Maybe cut back on the frosting a little bit, or maybe put a little bit less sweetening in the frosting, but the frosting was definitely overwhelming. The second cookie I had later, was the snickerdoodle. Again, the cookie tasted very good, but again, it had a bit of a gritty texture. Also, the middle of the snickerdoodle definitely tasted underbaked to me. It was just way too soft. The soft texture took away from the cookie a bit. The texture was just a little bit "off" for me. The price was reasonable, especially considering that this is a specialty bakery. There is a small upcharge if you pay with card, but it was very clearly pointed out. They refer to it as a "cash discount. I do realize that these cookies are vegan and gluten-free, and it may have been the gluten-free that caused the texture issues. Looking back at it now, it may be because a lot of gluten-free products use rice flour, which cannot be milled as fine as "regular flour.". That could be the cause of the grittiness. . I am glad that the vegan and gluten-free Community do have a place where they can get their sweets now. For me, I am glad I tried them, but while overall the cookies were OK, they just weren't for me. Thank you anyway.

The place is cute and used to be good, but I don't think I will be back again. I hope that things improve in the future for other customers.
