One of the best chocolate cakes I've ever had. AND I LOVE CHOCOLATE CAKE. The cake was incredibly well balanced. It's very easy to make frosting too sweet, but the sugar levels in everything was just right! The cake had a lovely crumb and was moist on the inside. There was a deep, dark chocolate flavor. Sometimes with chocolate cake, the cake can be too rich and fudgy, but this cake did not have this problem. It was such an addicting cake and I could not stop myself from continuing to eat it. Again, it was well balanced, flavorful, had a good mouthfeel, and not too sweet. PERFECTION! Additionally, the party was a space themed party so we asked for a space-themed cake and the cake was SO CUTE. If I need cake for an event again, I will definitely order from here. And I will definitely be ordering the chocolate cake again!!! read more

Best experience. To order, they were super responsive (surprisingly, this is apparently difficult for a lot of bakeries to do, I checked with 4 other ones who were so slow to respond). I sent an inspiration picture and they delivered exactly what I ordered and the cake tasted delicious. All my guests enjoyed it, highly recommend them. Thank you for helping make my event run smoothly. read more

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 read more

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.

Service was great and the cake was visually appealing. Unfortunately, the chocolate cake itself was underwhelming. I came to this shop because of all the glowing reviews saying the cakes were amazing and moist, but that wasn't our experience at all. The cake was not moist and tasted more like something you'd find at a grocery store. I even emailed the shop to check if this was a one-off experience, and they confirmed the cake was made fresh that day and made it sound like this was how the cake was intended to taste. The cake was shared among my entire party of six, and everyone felt the same way. At $67, it didn't feel worth it. I can only speak for the chocolate cake with buttercream frosting, but unfortunately, it did not live up to expectations. The team was accommodating and kind which I very appreciated. It read more

Violet, Christina, and the Simply Sweet Cakery team are INCREDIBLE!! They were incredibly professional, responsive, and kind throughout the entire planning process.

My fiancé reached out to this company in hopes of hiring them to do our wedding cake. We tried to call, but there was no answer, only an answering machine that directed us to their email. It's been a week since we emailed them with our request, and we have yet to hear back. We both tried to call several times during business hours in an attempt to get a hold of somebody, but were again directed to the email. I'm not exactly sure what kind of operation they are trying to run here, but if this is the experience with just trying to get an initial response back, one can only assume how it'd go to actually have to collaborate with this place. read more

I found Simply Sweet from searching online and loved the photos of their work. When I reached out they were so prompt and professional. I was so excited as I had picked 1 of their cupcakes from the photos they posted and it was adorable. Unfortunately the cupcakes didn't look like the photos or like they were from a professional bakery. The paper cups weren't filled evenly so the batter was baked unevenly and made them all look messy. The buttercream was the lightest I've ever tasted...I guess I was expecting a heavier buttercream frosting. And the raspberries I paid to have on top were also either old or smushed etc. I understand this is not a large order for their business but it was hard to believe they came from a bakery and not home made from a family member. I reached out just to touch base about this and no response. read more

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! read more

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! read more

From start (tasting!) to finish (delivery to venue and set up) Simply Sweet Cakery was awesome to work with. The wedding cake for our daughter's wedding was both beautiful and delicious.

Thank you for helping to make their day extra sweet! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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! read more

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! read more

Simply Sweet Cakery was one of the wedding cake vendors through our wedding venue University Club by Wedgewood Weddings. Brooke and Christina were a delight to work with and so organized! To be completely honest, we actually did two different cake tastings because we were a little concerned with the cake texture during our first tasting and we wanted to try some additional flavors. We ended up choosing two cake flavors: lemon raspberry and red velvet. Let me tell you...I was completely blown away by the final product on our wedding day. The wedding cake was actually a priority for us, but let me tell you...it was delicious!! During our cake cutting, I stuck my fork in the cake for another bite because the initial bite was THAT GOOD. It wasn't overly sweet and the texture was spot on and so moist. So so happy that they were one of the preferred vendors of my venue!! read more

Got a cake for my friend's 22nd birthday. The design was PERFECT. This absolutely exceeded my expectations. Brooke and Christina were great.

Overall, great place, great people to work with, and great product. read more

We had an amazing experience with Simply Sweet Cakery for our wedding! Brooke and Christina were very responsive via email and answered all our questions and were able to provide recommendations for quantities for our wedding size. We picked up our cake tasting a few months prior and they also included a box of an assortment of their different desserts like cookies and bars to help us select what we wanted for our dessert table. We got SO many compliments on the wedding cake (went with red velvet) and some have said it's the best wedding cake they've ever had! It wasn't too sweet, the frosting was perfect and light, the cake was moist and fluffy, and looked beautiful among the mini desserts at our wedding table. All the mini sweets went by so quickly and we could'nt be happier with the outcome! We also rented all the cake stands from them and they set up the layout beautifully! Highly recommend! read more
