    Best dessert in Monterey by far nothing else compares to them would recommend if you are around for the farmers market

    a cake in a box

    Ruby makes the best cakes and I have used her many times over the years. Not only are her cakes beautiful they taste delicious. Keep up the good work Ruby!

    Best cakes and sweet treats on the Peninsula. What's better than great ingredients, lots of love and a ton of talent? Supporting a LOCAL born and raised Woman-Owned business that does all that and then some. Ruby's Cakes are not only fresh and delicious, they are GORGEOUS and made by a fantastic woman who pours back all the love she receives, into our community where she was raised and is raising her children. From mouthwatering sugar cookies (made the old fashioned way that most don't offer today) to her tiered, 3-D cakes, Ruby will knock it out of the park every time.

    Ruby herself!

    Ruby makes the most incredible custom cakes and treats. Not only do her cakes look fantastic but they taste amazing as well. She makes each cake custom to whatever the client wants. She is so creative and always delivers a cake that is a show stopper. I have known Ruby for a long time and have had her treats for birthdays, parties and my wedding. Definitely give her a call.

    Train themed birthday cake!

    My son loves trains! Ruby made a delicious cake with a chocolate and vanilla layer. Everyone enjoyed the moist light tasty cake, and frosting! Yum Some of my family members are gluten-free so Ruby even made some special gluten-free cupcakes so everyone could enjoy dessert! True story, I could not taste a difference between the two desserts. Many of us went back for seconds!

Sugar Science created a double-layer sheet cake to celebrate my FIL's 80th birthday. Our family and guests raved about the cake. Dutch chocolate cake with raspberry filling and white vanilla-cream frosting. Makes my mouth water just thinking about it. Tender cake with high-quality ingredients and made with love!

The instructor made the buttercream ahead…read moreof time but it was still so cold that it wouldn't come out of the piping bags and the bags kept exploding. She decided to cancel the class after about 45 minutes of trying to get it to work. The class description on the website included crumb coating, mixing, tinting and smoothing buttercream, using a turntable, using piping tips to make rosettes, rose petals and leaves. None of those techniques except maybe leaves was even to be taught in this class. There was a list of tools for participants to bring and we used none of those things except our aprons. When asked about this she merely said that the description on her website was wrong. However, I signed up for the class based on that description. The instructor/owner refused to give even partial refunds and would only allow participants to sign up for a future class. I would definitely not recommend taking any classes

    To say I am disappointed in the $70 Birthday cake my husband purchased is an understatement…read more He ordered a lemon cake with raspberry preserves with buttercream icing. What we received was a dry cake with hardly any flavor. My Mother thought it was just a yellow cake, she couldn't even taste the lemon. And she is an experienced baker. She made our lemon and raspberry wedding cake, that my husband was trying to recreate. The raspberry "preserves" were gelatinous, like pie filling from a can. Preserves should be a jam like consistency, only with larger fruit pieces. But sadly, this was goopy and artificial tasting. And the buttercream was greasy, not creamy, like it was made from Crisco shortening (not butter), sugar and water. It didn't even have any flavor (maybe they forgot to put vanilla extract in it?) Even the construction of the cake was poor. They clearly didn't put enough batter in the pans. Normally you shave the rounded top off to make it flat. This bakery just added tons of icing in an attempt to make up for the rounded edges. Which also meant there were barely any raspberry "preserves" in between the layers. And last but not least. When my husband special ordered the cake (in person) he asked for white sprinkles. When he arrived to pick up the cake, it wasn't ready. And they told him they didn't have white sprinkles. And offered to cover the entire cake in tiny rock hard pearls, that are typically only used sparingly for decorative purposes. Because they are so hard, many decorators recommend removing them before eating! My Dad bit into it and said it was like trying to eat buck shot. My Father has never met a cake or sweet he didn't like, until now. He didn't want another piece during his entire visit. My mother and I didn't even finish our first piece. To charge $70 for this 8" cake was just criminal. I would have returned it if I could.
