Cake
Alicia C.

Our baby shower cake looked amazing but more importantly it tasted divine, the right balance or of sweet and tangy with the strawberry puree. Would recommend. 5 stars 10/10

Baby's first bday cake

I first came across Nicole's page when I was looking for someone to help create a birthday cake for my godson's birthday. What drew me to her page initially was the fact that she uses organic ingredients. If you're gonna have a cake, why not have a somewhat healthy one? Despite being across the country and working with a time difference (I currently live in California, but my godson is in NJ), I was able to coordinate with Nicole about the cake I had in mind. Given the pandemic, I made the tough decision to not attend his first birthday party out of safety concerns. Naturally, I still wanted to get him something special for such an important milestone. The end result was a beautiful recreation of this baby shark birthday cake I found on the internet. Nicole gave it a few of her personal touches and this cake came out so perfect. Everyone loved the cake and I felt like I was able to be there in spirit. I don't think Nicole knew how much this cake meant to me or my friends but just wanted to give her a shout-out for making it happen. Highly recommend her to anyone else. P.S. she takes venmo which makes life THAT much easier

Beyond excellent! It's a rare thing to see when a bakery can both create a masterpiece and also great flavors! I've tasted many birthday cakes and this one was the only one that was plate licking good. She's a great cake artist and every detail is to perfection. I would also like to include that Nicole herself is the sweetest baker. She was very clear and communicative during each of my event plans. I only needed to communicate via email and everything exceeded our expectations. The ingredients are very organic and taste fantastic. Even people mentioned her fondant was tasty! Usually you don't need to eat it but we did! THANK YOU SO MUCH PURPLE COW! We will definitely recommend you for all of our friends.

Gender reveal cake

I found Purple Cow Cakery via a simple Google search and have now found the place to get my cakes for all special occasions. Communication with Nicole was great and more importantly, the amazing cake she made for my sister's gender reveal party, exceeded expectations. Guests raved that it was the best cake they had ever had.

I have gotten 2 cakes so far, Nicole is very responsive. She is professional and artistic. Very accommodating, and her cakes are delicious. The cake is moist and the family loved it. We will keep ordering from her.

Birthday Cake

DELICIOUS CAKE! Ordered for my mom's birthday and it was perfect. Nicole was very nice and helpful - chose the yummiest combination of vanilla almond cake filled with fresh raspberry purée and topped with vanilla merengue buttercream. Needless to say there were no leftovers! I tried other neighborhood bakery for my daughter's first birthday. It looked good, but the taste was very disappointing. That's why I'm very happy I found Purple Cow Bakery. Beats the competition hands down. I would strongly recommend for your next event or if you just craving a cake (or macaroons, but that's the whole different story...)

Absolutely outstanding cake that was DELICIOUS. One of the best cakes I have ever eaten. So moist and flavorful. Nicole brought our vision to life and 80+ guests were absolutely impressed. Her ingredients are organic and unbelievably fresh. I normally don't even really like cake. She is professional and excellent with communication.

I am OBSESSED with Nicole's cakes!! She does amazing work with buttercream-- not fondant, buttercream!-- bc we all know no one eats the fondant! I rarely ever eat the icing on cakes but all of her icings and fillings i always devour. it's never too sweet, no gritty texture, no weird aftertaste or oily residue on the roof of your tongue like some cakes! She doesn't use any hydrogenated oils, only organic ingredients so the quality really shows in the taste. I've ordered 2 custom cakes from her and they have always been moist and fluffy, never dry or bland. Her designs are well thought out and beautiful. I asked for a Lilly Pulitzer inspired cake and it was done so tastefully. Someone even called it and said it reminded them of "Lilly Pulitzer!" After seeing that, it was a lot easier to trust her aesthetic and talent. The other cake I ordered was for a very particular mom-to-be having a baby shower. Nicole was extremely patient and responsive with going back and forth many times about my questions with sizing, cake layers and appearance. I had full faith in her execution and the celebrant absolutely loved it. Both cakes I've ordered had no leftovers, that never happens! And I've gotten (and still continue to get) so many compliments and inquiries regarding the cake. I can't wait to order from her again bc bottom line: her cakes really taste as good as they look. You would think this is a given but we all know the sad reality out there! I can't recommend her enough! I'm so glad I found her!

Best cake ever

I ordered a birthday cake last week. Guests said it was the best cake they have ever had. Even though I only spoke to Nicole via text, the interactions were timely and professional. She had the cake ready for pick up at the desired time. I will keep using her for my other events.

It was a cake above the rest! Perfectly moist texture and sweetness, light icing and baked to perfection. So glad we went with Purple Cow for our wedding!

I can buy Macarons at the mall now?! Sweet! Found this little gem in Menlo Park Mall yesterday in…read morethe midst of the scurrying shoppers. Round, sweet, colorful treats stood called out to me and said "Hello! Taste me and we will satisfy your sweet tooth". I always compare macarons to my favorite places, (not Ladureé, it's all about Biscuterie de Montmatre). Macarons and Cookies is pretty good. The girl who sells them doesn't work for By Woops, the company who franchises these "mall macarons". But she was nice and helpful. A single macaron is $2.75, a bit steep, but they are slightly bigger and I guess you're paying for convenience. I bought Cookies and Cream, Red Velvet, and Nutella. They are soft, sweet, not too gooey and just a delight. I'm happy to have the opportunity to buy macarons before or post shopping. This location is a small kiosk located on the lower level of the mall across from Coach and Arden B.

I called this place before going to find out where they were located in the mall so I don't waste…read moremy time walking around. The woman told me it's by Sephora and journeys, it's NOT! I got there 10 mins after I called and it was closed so I called back and told the same woman no one was here. She told me hold on she'll call the guy back, I patiently waited but after another 10 minutes I called back to make sure I wasn't wasting my time. That's when she told me oh the guy said the mall closed early so they closed too. I was standing in the mall! I was so happy to find this place because it's close to my house but I wouldn't waste my time to even go back.
