We are so…read morelucky to have so many amazing local artisans and bakers in Ventura County and Kristina with BCB is one of the best! This pop of bakery and shop is licensed in Ventura and you can find them all over the county popping up for different events and markets. They also have staple goods throughout the county at some of your favorite shops - for example Beacon coffee carries her delicious biscuits (which I go crazy for and buy every time). You just have to keep your eyes peeled and you'll find their delicious baked goods. As I mentioned above her biscuits are my obsession but also she makes the best sweet treats. My family loves her chocolate chip cookies, simple but done well. The touch of sea salt is tasty and the perfect amount. I've devoured her Dream Bars on occasion but truly everything they make is tasty here. I'm still overdue to buy some of their breads - will add that to my list next time. But being a fan favorite of our community, their goods do sell out fast so whenever you see they are popping up somewhere get there fast! Kristina is just a gem, a lovely person and so friendly - I love following them on instagram to see what they are up to next. A local small business with supporting for sure :)

Ali at Sugar Lab Bake Shop was such a wonderful part of my daughter's wedding yesterday. From the…read morevery beginning, she was warm, kind, and genuinely lovely to work with -- exactly the kind of person you hope to have around during such an important event. She created the most beautiful three-tier cake for us with delicate pearl details and softly textured rustic tiers that fit the wedding perfectly. It looked stunning, but what everyone kept talking about was how good it tasted. We chose different flavor combinations for each tier, and every single one was incredibly moist, flavorful, and delicious. For anyone debating between a cake and a dessert table, Ali does both beautifully -- but there's something so special about having a gorgeous cake as part of the celebration. Ours became such a focal point of the reception, and the cake cutting ended up being one of the sweetest, most heartfelt moments of the evening. I'm so glad we chose to include one. Ali also handled delivery and placement flawlessly, which made the whole process feel easy and stress-free. We couldn't have been happier with our choice and are so grateful for the care and talent she brought to the day.

They have an instagram so you can follow what they have, they rotate their selections and they sell out on some favors. The owner told me that if you call or text them they can set it aside for you and you can pick it up same day. Hope you like it as much as I do!

The pistachio cheesecake was ok. I think next time I would choose something a little sweeter for the cheesecake.

After you order they give you a "pager" that lets you know when the order is ready.

I don't live in Ojai but would be there for a week for my gf's birthday and the only thing she asked for was a cake. I had *no* idea how I was going to surprise her with a cake, but Ixy not only helped me plan but delivered and followed up on how things went! We messaged back and forth via IG and then texting and she couldn't have been more patient, accommodating and helpful to keep the surprise a secret. In fact, it took a small team of some incredibly kind women to help pull this all off and I'll never forget that. I'll definitely have to get more goodies from Bloom next time I'm in Ojai- such an amazing experience!!

We cannot say enough wonderful things! Christine was incredibly communicative, helpful, sweet, and so easy to work with from day one. I had seen her desserts on Instagram and immediately fell in love with the dessert bar option and all the beautiful, tasty, and artistic treats she made. I typically am not the biggest cake person, but we decided to do a small cutting cake and boy are we glad we did - by far the best cake we've ever eaten. I gave her some general guidance on style of cake decor and it was more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. And every single dessert was incredible - there was so much hype from our guests during and after our wedding about the desserts. Christine was so helpful in recommending options, quantities, and cake flavors based on our preferences. We didn't try a thing before our wedding day but felt so confident in her and she did not disappoint!! Would 10/10 (AND THEN SOME!) recommend Christine for ANY dessert needs. And when it comes to wedding planning, do yourself a favor and make this such a easy, stress-free, and tassssssty/beautiful decision! Pics by: @wearemattandjess
