    We were in Orange County to celebrate my mom's 80th birthday and my nephew's 22nd birthday and my brother ordered two cakes from here. One was chocolate and the other was lemon... Not only were these cakes absolutely delicious. They were beautiful. These individual cakes made the birthdays so special to have these custom, delicious cakes!! Highly recommend!! Thank you Simply Sweet Cakery!!

    After doing a lot of research, I booked them for my wedding back in June and they were LOVELY to work with! We asked them to make a vintage 2-tier marble cake plus an additional strawberry vanilla sheet cake. These things stood out to me: 1- Taste, arguably the most important thing- it was delicious! So much so, I didn't even get to try the sheet cake day of cause my guests ate it all so fast! lol Also my mom could not stop talking about how good the cake was too! 2- Communication- Emailing them was such a pleasant experience!! They were kind, clear, concise, and always responded in a timely manner. 3- Price- Their prices are pretty reasonable and when planning a wedding that is always welcomed! :) 4- Aesthetic- From their cake tasting package to how our cake looked the day of the wedding, you can tell they take the time to make things look pretty which is always a big plus!! Highly recommend! :) *Pictures by Epic Vision Studios

    My husband and I ended up booking Simply Sweet Cakery to do our cake for our wedding. Most of the time the cakes look good but is super dry, but not here. The cake looks good and tastes amazing. All of our guests loved the flavors and couldn't stop talking about it. They went above and beyond and I'm so happy with how our cake turned out

    Violet, Christina, and the Simply Sweet Cakery team are INCREDIBLE!! They were incredibly professional, responsive, and kind throughout the entire planning process. They brought our cake vision to life, and placed our cake topper of our dog on the cake in the sweetest way. We cannot thank them enough!

    The wedding cake!

    Absolutely beautiful cake. My daughter wanted a small cake for a personal cake cutting. It looked so pretty sitting on their dessert table. Plus it tasted good. (I snuck a piece!). Exactly what the bride wanted! Thanks so much!!

    This place is fabulous! From their super prompt responses and they delicious cakes, they've nailed it! I requested a gender reveal cake and they gave me a list of options and prices for me to choose from. I sent a few designs in and we were able to find one that worked in both style and budget. Their cake was absolutely gorgeous and High quality. All of my guests were commenting on how tasty it was and asking where I got it from. Will absolutely be using them in the future!

    We reached out to Simple Sweet Cakery to make our wedding cake and they were very courteous and communicative the entire time. We got to pick up a cake tasting kit to choose our flavor and the cake was ready on time and convenient to pick up. Most importantly it was insanely delicious and everyone including people who claimed they weren't big cake fans loved the cake!

    We chose Simply Sweet Cakery for our wedding after searching through many bakeries, and honestly one of the best decisions ever! First of all, Brooke & Christina are so so sweet and kind - they truly made the wedding cake experience the best it could be. I first reached out to them via email - they are super responsive and have very reasonable cake pricing in the OC area. We chose a few flavors and picked up our tasting box from their Costa Mesa location. After the tasting, we knew SSC would be our cake choice - their cake is super moist and fluffy, and it wasn't too sweet, just right! And the white buttercream they make is soo good! We ended up getting a 2 tier wedding cake with sweet marble and lemon raspberry, as well as 8 dozen cupcakes for our dessert table. SSC delivered the cake to our venue and we also rented a few cake stands from them. We got so many compliments from our guests about how the cake and desserts were delicious and not too sweet! Overall, the entire wedding cake process was so easy and seamless with SSC! We're sooo happy with how the cake turned out and recommend Simply Sweet Cakery for anyone looking for a wedding cake or desserts. Thank you Brooke & Christina, you two are the best!

    Simply Sweet Cakery made the wedding cake of my dreams. They were very responsive, helpful, and professional throughout the process. I knew exactly the cake I wanted and provided them with photos and they did not disappoint. Not only was the cake visually stunning, but the cake itself was moist and delicious. We tried six different flavors to land on the three that would go on each tier of the cake. The tasting cakes were mini cakes to go, which helped to make it easy and let family members try in the fun too. Overall, we were very happy with their service and final product.

    Ordered a cake for a small wedding ceremony and I was so pleased with it! Violet and Christina were so easy to work with, and the cake turned out exactly how I imagined. We ordered a Strawberries & Cream cake and brought in fresh flowers for decoration. The strawberries very fresh and the frosting was just lightly sweet. I wish the cake itself was a bit lighter, but that's just a personal preference!

    I booked Simply Sweet Cakery to bake a smash cake and desserts for my son's 1st birthday party. Brooke and Tammy were both so easy to work with and were so patient with all my questions. I had a few inspiration photos I sent but the end product was so much better! The smash cake design was so cute, and all my guests raved about the cupcakes and cookies (a few even said they were the best they've ever had...and I agree!). Prices were so reasonable, too, especially for the quality of cake and cookie we ended up getting. Overall, highly recommend Brooke's creations at Simply Sweet Cakery. I'm looking forward to working with her again!

    Samples!
    Erika R.

    I loved my entire experience and my beautiful, delicious wedding cake from Simply Sweet Cakery! From the beginning, our email communications were smooth. First, my now hubby and I chose flavors to sample which I picked up at their bakery which was easy to find. The samples were nicely packaged and labeled with instructions on thawing and storing. They were all so moist and not overly sweet! After tasting, we knew we wanted Simply Sweet Cakery for our wedding! For a fee, your goodies can be delivered and set up at your venue. Cake stands are available to rent as well. We chose a small, 2 tier cake and cake cups. Cake cups are basically just cakes served in cups with a cute sticker (we were able to request our initials on the sticker!) and a little wooden spoon! The cake cups are something new they offer which was perfect because nowadays, not everyone really wants to eat something that's been sitting out in the open! At other weddings, I notice how much cake is sitting on the table which ends up getting thrown away. I received a lot of positive comments on the cake cups because people were able to take them home if they didn't feel like eating theirs and some people took the cake cups left over from the crazy people who don't like cake! You can order as many different flavors as you please. We kept it simple with 2 flavors for cake cups and our 2 tier cake- we both chose 1 that we liked the most which was red velvet and cookies & cream. My husband and I then took our 2 tier cake home to share with our families. The icing on the cake (no pun intended!) - Simply Sweet Cakery gifts married couples a free small cake on your 1 year wedding anniversary if you spend a certain amount! How freakin awesome is that? We did NOT want to do the traditional "keep cake in the freezer for a year" thing because it takes up space and we heard other couples end up throwing it away because it doesn't taste good! My only very very minor gripe is payment is done through mail - either mail a check or write down your credit card info. I mailed a check and appreciated that I received an email when it arrived, but I would have loved to pay via Venmo or another electronic payment. I still highly recommend ordering from Simply Sweet Cakery for all your cake needs!

    our beautiful wedding cake!

    Simply Sweet Cakery is THE BEST when it comes to wedding cakes! Brooke and Tammy are so responsive and helpful via email and their cakes are beautiful and delicious. When we did a cake tasting it was so difficult to choose since they were all so good. We ended up deciding on a 3-layer wedding cake and a sheet cake with 2 different flavors and the price was crazy affordable considering the quality of the cake. Honestly, I have 2 pieces of cake saved in our freezer for our 1-year anniversary and WEEKLY I still think about defrosting them early and gobbling them up - that's how good the cake is!

After leaving lunch nearby, I passed by the Newport Beach location and decided it was finally time to give it a try. First impressions were honestly really good. Parking was super easy because they have an open lot, which immediately made the experience less stressful. The bakery itself is also really pretty inside. It has that classic, clean bakery aesthetic that feels warm and inviting without being overly trendy. Everything looked fresh and well displayed, and the atmosphere definitely gave "treat yourself after lunch" energy. The staff was also very friendly and welcoming when I came in. One thing I genuinely liked was that they cut the cake slices fresh in front of you instead of having them prepackaged and sitting out. It made everything feel fresher and a little more personalized, which I appreciated. I decided to try the funfetti cake because I feel like that's such a classic flavor and usually a pretty safe choice. It's simple, nostalgic, and honestly hard to mess up. Unfortunately, this just wasn't for me. The biggest issue for me was the texture. The cake itself was very dense and heavier than I expected. I usually like funfetti cake to feel soft, fluffy, and light, especially paired with buttercream frosting, but this one felt more compact and rich than I personally prefer. The icing also had a grainy texture that really stood out to me. I'm not sure if that's just their style of frosting, but it didn't have the smooth, creamy texture I usually look for in cake frosting. That being said, if you like a denser, richer style of cake, this honestly might be the perfect bakery for you. It just personally is not my preference. I tend to prefer lighter cakes with smoother frosting, so I think this came down more to taste and texture preferences than the bakery doing anything "wrong." Flavor-wise, it wasn't terrible by any means, but it just didn't wow me, especially considering how much I've heard people rave about SusieCakes. I kept comparing it in my head to Magnolia Bakery, which for me personally has softer cake texture and frosting that I enjoy a lot more. That said, I still think the bakery itself is worth visiting at least once because the customer service was great, the space was beautiful, and the experience overall was pleasant. I just personally didn't enjoy the actual cake as much as I hoped I would. Overall, I'd probably come back to try a different flavor before fully writing the place off, but based on the funfetti slice alone, it wasn't my favorite.

They were busy with a lot of Mother's Day weekend rush, but the staff was friendly to everyone with big smiles and they were moving the line along as quickly as possible.

Sometimes, the Tropical Coconut can be slightly dry, but it was perfectly moist when I had it this past weekend. They had a really cute May 4th Grogu cake on display and I just think that they not only make delicious cakes, but their cake decorating skills are on point! SusieCakes is worth the splurge!

I'm positive Mothers Day is a very busy day for you all, but no one should be on the receiving end of that type of sass from anyone, especially after paying close to $100 for a 6" inch cake. It definitely killed the excitement for the gender reveal with this cake tainted with attitude.

It was 10 min before closing & idk if the girls were just rushing to close down but one girl in particular had an attitude. There was a miscommunication / misunderstanding with the girl who took my coffee order (I had assumed the seasonal banana latte came with the foam as pictured & because she didn't ask if I wanted the foam, I didn't ask for it more-so bc she asked if I wanted the brittle on top). When they handed me my drink it was a plain banana latte with no foam or brittle. I was ignored when I tried calling for the barista until another girl followed up - however this girl had an attitude. She told me that I must not have ordered it since they ask at the register if I want foam with brittle. Explained they didn't ask. Instead she just said "sorry I'll let them know for next time". And walked away leaving me with my drink as is. Didn't offer any sort of resolution. I walked in and asked they could charge me extra for the foam. The same girl with the attitude remade my drink and handed it to me. No thank you, no sorry, nothing. First time experiencing this kind of service.

The cookies, pastries, and ingredients feel largely the same as before, except now everything is priced like a luxury boutique bakery.

I understand businesses have rising costs, and I don't mind paying premium prices when the experience and quality justify it. But here, it feels like the pricing changed far more than the actual product or customer experience did. It's unfortunate because this genuinely used to be a staple local bakery that many people loved supporting. Unfortunately the new owners killed it.

When we ordered the cinnamon roll, there was no option to heat it up, so we thought they would have done it already. When it was served, it was rock solid. So, we asked them to heat it up. However, after a few minutes, it still wasn't that gooey and the inner core was still pretty tough. Perhaps they could have warmed it up so that it was evenly softened. Overall, the cinnamon roll was alright. It was a brioche roll so you would think it might be lighter and fluffy, but ours was pretty dry. However, the cream on top was insanely good. It carried the roll. The hazelnut twist was kind of what you would expect. A twisted pastry but with a hefty amount of hazelnut-chocolate spread thru the layers. We sat in a little nook, where there was a magnetic black board, where there were word tiles you could rearrange in any way. It was a nice place to just look around at all the sentences the community wrote. Chess tables were also available as extra seating. Overall, the service was good, but could be better when warming up pastries, so that the customer can enjoy them properly!
