2nd year in a row ordering a birthday cake from Pastel for my kid's birthday, and once again they exceeded expectations! This year we got a Peppa Pig-themed cake for my child's 4th birthday, and it was a 2-tiered cake for people size 30-35 guests. The design was absolutely stunning. Undoubtedly, Pastel creates some of the most beautiful custom cakes. My kid and all of our guests were absolutely thrilled when they saw the cake. We also repeated the tried-and-tested flavors from last year: one layer strawberry and the other cookies & cream -- both were delicious yet again. Highly recommend for both presentation and taste! read more

We received a few cupcakes and they were yummy. Aesthetically pleasing, moist, and not too sweet. The cream topping had a nice texture and blended well with the cupcake. Very satisfied. read more

We loved our experience with Karolina for our son's first birthday and our resulting Tarzan-themed cake. I specifically requested lots of foliage, baby Tarzan characters, and my son's name and she went above and beyond. Everyone not only loved our cake design, they thought the actual cake was so delicious! It truly was an incredible cake. Karolina herself is very kind, communicative, and helpful. My FIL came to pick up the cake early morning as she was leaving for a trip that day (with the level of detail on the cake, one would never believe she was about to travel!) and she was so great about the whole experience. Prices are hefty, but you get what you pay for and I think it was totally worth it! read more

Karolina did an amazing job with the cupcakes for my baby shower. I received so many compliments from guests on both the appearance and flavor of the cupcakes - it's rare to get both of these at once when purchasing "pretty" baked goods, but Karolina nailed it! She executed my vision perfectly with beautiful attention to detail. Leading up to the event she was easy to work with, communicative and organized. I enjoyed everything about my experience and look forward to working with her again for other events. read more

Pastel - Stunning baby shower cupcakes! - Custom Cakes Near Me

We set out to find a custom cake for my 4 year old daughter's Sleeping Beauty birthday party and Pastel did not disappoint. She was the most reasonably priced pastry chef in the area and came up with an absolutely enchanting cake and cupcakes. We got so many inquires about the cake from the parents and the kids could not help but to scoop up their favorite cupcake design as soon as my daughter blew out the candles. Not only were these cupcakes and cake beautiful to look at, but they were also delicious. I'm writing this review in hopes that she forever stays in business so I can keep coming back. read more

Literally the best. My daughter has been talking about having a rainbow cake for her birthday for nearly a year, and Karolina made her dream come true. I reached out a month before her birthday by filling out a form on her website. We were really lucky that she was available, so I'd recommend reaching out earlier! From start to finish, Karolina exceeded all my expectations and created a magical, rainbow layered cake that was not only stunning but also tasted absolutely divine. We also ordered three dozen mini cupcakes (half vanilla, half chocolate) that were still delicious the day after. The attention to detail and creativity was simply incredible. Karolina was a such a joy to work with. She was patient and knowledgable, and brought my vision to life by asking all the right questions, especially ones that I didn't think of (number of age or name on cake?). Karolina was always available to answer any questions and accommodate any special requests that I had, like no frosting for one cupcake. Highly recommend Pastel to anyone looking for a unique and delicious cake for their special occasion. Thank you for making my daughter's birthday unforgettable! Can't wait to work with you again this year. read more

Highly highly recommend. We ordered a cake and smash cake for my baby's first birthday party and they were such a hit! We went back and forth on the design for a couple of weeks and I was a bit worried about the end product. But the cakes were so beautiful, I almost didn't want anyone to eat them! We'd asked for different flavors for the two layers, cookies and cream and strawberry. I personally liked the cookies and cream better but both layers were delicious. read more
