    no words they are the BEST! Will be back Cookies were perfection in every way They met my expectations to perfection

    SD Custom Cakes made the most incredible neon glow cake for my son's 7th birthday! I sent her a few inspiration photos and she totally brought the vision to life--it was vibrant, creative, and absolutely perfect for the party theme. Everyone was blown away, and it tasted just as amazing as it looked! She was super friendly, worked with my schedule, and gave clear instructions for payment and pickup (just a heads-up: they've recently moved, but the phone number listed is still correct!). The whole process was smooth and easy from start to finish. Highly recommend this talented home-based baker in Escondido--I'll definitely be ordering from her again!

    Poodle cake!

    PERFECT!!! The whole experience with SD Custom Cakes was perfect! They are very responsive and pros. I ordered a poodle faced cake and the inside was vanilla with passion fruit filling. It was sooo good. The cake was moist and my family loved it. I would order from them again. Thank you SD Custom Cakes for making our day!

    Excellent service. Placed an order for custom cookies and large cake for a baby shower, everything turned out so nice! Tasted good and pricing is very fair. Highly recommend

    AMAZING and SOOOO DELICIOUS!!!!! Last minute (4 days before event), I texted and asked for a quote. I sent a screenshot of a Roblox cake and cupcakes, got a quote instantly, and paid the deposit. Day of the event (9/25), I picked up both and to my surprise, both the cake and cupcakes looked EXACTLY like the screenshot! I was so impressed! This was the 9th birthday for my son and we've never had a better cake and cupcakes. Truly grateful for the amazing woman behind SD Custom Cakes! On such short notice too! Muchas gracias

    I really appreciated the clear instructions and mask wearing to due covid 19 procedures. Rosa and her team followed the rules. I felt safe to order and serve our cake. Rosa did an amazing job on my cake. It was for my big sisters birthday. We ordered a huge cake. My sister is a huge movie and sci-fi fan. She was so happy with the look of the cake and even more elated by the taste. Rosa was kind, professional and communicated clear about the design on the cake. Happy to exchange pictures and ideas. The results was much better than I could've imagined but it was definitely the cake was exactly what we discussed visually. And the taste was outstanding. Thank you so much! And looking forward to work with you again in the near future.

    Rosa was very pleasant to work with, very professional and attention to detail. We were amazed at cake delivered. Photo on left was sample we provided, photo on right is cake delivered. This was for a 15ñera-Enchanted Theme Forest. Looked even better in person!!! Truly beautiful and delicious. Extremely happy will be re-ordering again for future events. Muchísimas Gracias Rosa !

    I am so impressed with how the cake I ordered for my sister's birthday from here came out. I can't get over how perfect it came out. Not only was it exactly how I imagined it, but everyone who tried it said it was delicious. They give the option of adding fresh fruit as a filling which made it even better. I love how easy it is to communicate with them. They also had it ready exactly at the time I scheduled for pick up. I plan on ordering more cakes from here in the future due to their amazing quality. Thank you SD Custom Cakes; you made my sister and I very happy.

    Amazing cakes, creativity and such sweet people!

    Its always a pleasure ordering cakes with SD CUSTOM CAKES. Even through the 2020 pandemic they followed all the rules of social distancing, wore a mask. The cakes are delicious and always so freaking amazingly decorated. They do more than just cakes, check out their page. Help support small family owned business. They are quick to respond to messages, so professional and very well priced. Thank you guys so much for our cake! We loved the cake! My nephew was so excited when he saw it. He couldn't wait to eat a piece of chocolate cake.

    Unfortunately my experience was not as great as i was hoping for. I did 2 orders - 1st trial, second for baby cake smash photoshoot. 1st was carrot cake - it was ok, not wow! I managed to bring it home safe although when i arrived it was not ready! 2nd was simple vanilla - i asked particularly NO SUGAR as it was for 1 year old baby to eat. She said ok. On the day of the pick up, cake was not ready, i had to wait. When i tried the icing, it was super sweet, i asked why??? If i asked particularly for NOT SWEET, she said she doesn't change the recipe! Sorry??? What??? Why didn't you tell me that when i placed an order in the first place??? And the other disappointment was that a minute later after i left the shop the cake just fell apart, by the time i reached home 17 min later, the cake was all over the box!! Well she did refunded the money, but it was quite sad experience, considering the fact that my photographer was waiting for me and we had to assemble the cake at the spot as we could.

    Nayeli at Custom cakes is so sweet. She allowed our team to place a 4 tier cake order with only a weeks notice along with some Minnie Mouse cookies. She loves what she does and values customer service and it shows. She goes out of her way for her customers and is mindful of budgets and requests. I appreciate that she also does deliveries to venues. Strongly recommend and look forward to working with her in the future.

    Chocolate Cake, Wednesday theme!

    Absolutely phenomenal and my new favorite donut shop! I came in at 10 AM on a Friday and they had…read moreplenty of selection of all my favorite kinds of donuts. The cashier let me know that the apple fritters I was looking at were fresh out of the oven and still warm, so I had to try those and they were the best apple fritters I've ever had! (Fresh is always better, of course). But we also tried their blueberry cake donuts, maple bars, glazed old fashions, and a few others and all were very soft, luscious, and just a perfect version of that type of donut. I have high standards for baked goods and it only took touching one of their classic sugar covered donuts and feeling just how pillowy soft it was to know they have an amazing rise and fantastic quality. I will be returning here from now on for all my donuts!! The shop is cute inside too. They have small tables for eating your purchase afterwards and offer coffee and tea. It doesn't feel like you're in the way here and the service was incredibly friendly and welcoming. No critiques whatsoever!

Absolutely everything was fresh, extremely tasty and visually appealing as well. Over the course of a couple of days, I ordered roast ducks, baked salmon with dill and pomengranate seeds, prime rib, arugula salad with apples and pecans, arugula salad with feta cheese, mandarins and pomengranate seeds, roast brussels sprouts, green beans with almonds, roast potatoes and roasted mixed vegetables. There wasn't a single dish that was a miss. Everyone was amazed at how well everything was seasoned. I was looking for authentically good catering. Smoked and Tasty more than delivered. The owner is also super nice!

The second thing that drew me in were the smells of smoked meats and fish (not overpowering at all) I was originally just looking for a place to grab a quick snack and do some computer work. But once I got to talking to one of the friendly staff, my three slices of salmon turned into a lox bagel and I decided to grab a small block of smoked cheddar to take home. *I should note that the lox bagel is the only sandwich item they offer from the menu. Everything else can be purchased by the pound No frills is something you will notice I personally look for in a small business. If there are too many frills, I start to wonder what you're trying to distract me from. Smoked lox was fantastic, the bagel was nice and fresh. Like I said NO FRILLS, just honest smoked offerings made by people who care. I ran into this place without trying and I will definitely come back to try the smoked chicken wings and salmon jerky!

This was the absolute WORST place I've ever had the displeasure of working at in my entire life. Sanitation is not a word in their vocabulary, to start. The owner practices sketchy business etiquette, withholding pay checks and handing them out when she feels it's time to pay employees-very inconsistent pay days, and never giving raises. Susan has no problem belittling employees in front of everyone working, and discussing personal issues of employees out loud for everyone to hear- including OUTING people(IYKYK) or discussing their health problems with other employees. She consistently has to overhaul all employees and start over with new ones, as she is completely indecisive of her own choices. Awkward work environment- she consistently had a chef working here-that her husband had a huge problem with, not sure why, but employees were put in the middle of it when asked by her husband and his family(that owned the former building) place was a literal sweat shop, did NOT like anyone taking their breaks or lunches. I wouldn't do business with this place-ever. Nor would I recommend even my worst enemy to apply here.

This was a pleasant surprise because she typically makes her own desserts. This made it even more special because this means it was made from fresh ingredients and from scratch. The other pies from the lovely Cuban spot and our local food warehouse were no match for this delicious treat. The pie was prepared with a mixture of pumpkin and spices without being overly powered by one or too sweet. It was smooth like silk and was so delicious. This is a must try spot. I'm sad they a quite far from me. I will make it a point to get there. Thank you my K & M friends!! Xoxo
