I pride myself on being a terrific and creative gift-giver especially for birthdays. It is a…read morespecial super skill I have where I can find a rare item that someone has desired their entire life or have the foresight to know what a person needs before they even know it, themselves. I just love to make people feel special! My boyfriend's 41st birthday was quickly approaching and I had the idea to supplement his gifts with life themed cookies: those royal icing decorated cookies that are the rage at events in the vein of a cookie per life moment or characteristic of my boyfriend (who is a twin, by the way!). I wanted to 'shop local' and reached out in one of my neighborhood Facebook groups looking for an artisan, local baker/bakery who does this sort of thing. Receiving a few responses, it was The Sugar'd Whisk that stood out and I immediately knew I had to hire Lexi, the owner/operator/baker/decorator. The Sugar'd Whisk is a cookie and cake company that you would see on those competition shows on Food Network or Netflix creating the most gorgeous and elevated or charming and delightfully decorated cookies and cakes for events, birthdays, weddings, baby and wedding showers, gender reveals, grad parties and just about whatever! Lexi is amazingly skilled and is up to date with the most modern trends or classic styles. Just browse her gallery of work and you will be blown away. There is nothing she can't do. I contacted The Sugar'd Whisk per her website where you can fill out an inquiry form (please AT LEAST 2 weeks ahead - I did a month prior to my boyfriend's birthday!) and decided on a dozen cookies where you can choose 3 -4 designs ($60 but $80 for my order because I received more designs). This wasn't necessarily what I had in mind because I wanted a cookie per life event but I addressed in the form that I am willing to meet in middle, pay more, etc. Lexi personally texted me immediately and then proceeded to set up a phone meeting in which we discussed the idea and themes and she even agreed to up the number of designs if possible while doing research on the decorated images I preferred. The Sugar'd Whisk kept me in loop regarding research and her timeline (Lexi is a very busy lady with customers and that is no surprise!) and texted back and forth about ideas and was very patient to find a way to make me happy. The next step was an email proposal agreement contract and my payment which I made through Zelle. When the day arrived to pick up the cookies from The Sugar'd Whisk; I met Lexi outside her apartment building (She bakes from home which is even more impressive that she can do this outside of a commercial kitchen!) and she was all smiles and super friendly. I was absolutely blown away by the cookies! Perfection is an understatement! Not only were they exactly the images I wanted but the icing work was beautiful and artistically talented! The Sugar'd Whisk is amazing and worth every cent! My boyfriend and I went away for the weekend for his birthday and I set up the cookies for him to wake up to and The Sugar'd Whisk (and me for having the idea) knocked the ball out of the park like Shohei Ohtani! He said this was one of, if not THE, best and most personalized gift he has ever received and he too was amazed by the skill of The Sugar'd Whisk! This is a huge compliment as he is a creative and artist by profession. But that isn't the end of the wonderful experience. We still have to discuss the taste! These cookies are THICK so I was slightly worried they would be either too sweet or too bland and flour-y but no! The Sugar'd Whisk has the perfect recipe of not-to-sweet and not too powdery cookies with a blend of tasting like a sugar cookie and butter cookie. My boyfriend was in love with them and even I, who is Celiac and can't consume gluten, couldn't keep myself from eating some of these delicious cookies! The Sugar'd Whisk is an absolute win in every category: local business, customer service, talented decoration, flavor and price (they are priced lower than some of the competitors while being much more upscale!). I will without a doubt return to The Sugar'd Whisk for my cake and cookie needs and recommend it for anyone and everyone!

Lexi was super helpful, attentive, patient, and provided excellent feedback when trying to make a decision for the theme. I got red velvet with vanilla for both cupcakes and cake pops. The other flavor was vanilla with cookie butter. This one had a subtle flavor of cookie butter that didn't overwhelm me with sugar. The rest of the set was packed with flavor and tasteful. The cool thing too was that for the cake pops it could come with edible images, which I did. It is a bit more for it but worth the price. Thank you so much for the smooth transaction and helpful feedback that went with my themed party.

I found this bakery through Yelp because I was looking for a custom birthday cake for my…read moregranddaughter's 3rd birthday party. I contacted the baker about a Blippi and Meekah-themed 6-inch cake. The quote was $145 for the cake plus $25 for an edible image, for a $170 total before the amount later identified as tax. Free pickup was offered. I was dealing with several important things at the time and did not respond to the initial quote immediately, but I prepared my confirmation on September 12, the date given to decide and contacted the baker on September 13 to confirm the order. She accepted the order and provided payment instructions. I do not use Zelle or Venmo, but I have Cash App and was prepared to either pay cash in full in person or the deposit that way. Before sending the deposit, I asked one simple question: why was the total $186.63, including $16.63 in tax, when the quoted cake and edible image totaled $170? I was simply asking for clarification before paying. I asked because my understanding of California Department of Tax and Fee Administration guidance is that a whole cake sold to go is generally not subject to sales tax. I wanted to understand the basis for the additional charge before making my payment. I was not refusing to pay; I was asking for clarification. Instead of answering the question, the baker abruptly canceled my order. I attempted to call to discuss it directly, but was sent to her voicemail mailbox which was full and I could not leave a message. Afterward, she explained that she had become uneasy about the order and said she was canceling for the best. ‍ She also characterized my statement that I would accurately review my experience on Yelp as a threat of a bad review, which is not something I would do. I would never threaten anyone. I was explaining that I would give an honest account of my actual customer experience which is what Yelp is all about. What disappointed me most was that the order had been accepted and confirmed, yet asking a question about a charge resulted in the order being canceled rather than the charge being explained. I am a disabled grandmother and was trying to arrange a special birthday cake for my granddaughter's party. I would have preferred a simple answer to my question and a completed order. Based on my experience, I would not order from this business again. but instead I will go to back ordering from Nothin Bundt or Susies Cakes and just order the toppers online, that way I know what I am getting with no hidden fees.

We owe it all to Sonia, who went above and beyond to help us bring our dream cake to life. From the very beginning, Sonia was amazing to work with. She was incredibly responsive to all of our texts and calls, and truly made us feel like our vision mattered. Her attention to detail was impeccable -- everything from the flavor to the decorations was thoughtfully executed. We had a fun, personalized touch with a bobblehead cake topper, and Sonia worked perfectly with what we gave her. On the day of the wedding, she coordinated seamlessly with our florist to add fresh flowers to the cake, and the final result was breathtaking. Let's talk about flavor -- because wow. The rosewater pistachio was absolute magic. So many of our guests reached out after the wedding just to ask where we got the cake! Every single one of the six tiers was beautiful, delicious, and crafted with love. The cake tasting experience with Sonia was also wonderful -- it really helped us choose the perfect flavor combination. We honestly cannot wait to order it again for our anniversary! Thank you, Sonia, for your artistry, patience, and kindness. You made one of the sweetest parts of our wedding unforgettable.
