This year, Kyla requested a KPop Demon Hunters theme, and Karolina brought her vision to life perfectly. Every detail - from the characters and disco balls to the personalized decorations and gorgeous pink, purple and blue color palette - was so creative and beautifully executed. The cake and cupcakes weren't only stunning; they were absolutely delicious and a huge hit with both the children and adults at the party. Most importantly, Kyla loved everything and felt so special. Thank you again, Karolina, for helping make another birthday unforgettable!

This year we got a Peppa Pig-themed cake for my child's 4th birthday, and it was a 2-tiered cake for people size 30-35 guests. The design was absolutely stunning. Undoubtedly, Pastel creates some of the most beautiful custom cakes. My kid and all of our guests were absolutely thrilled when they saw the cake. We also repeated the tried-and-tested flavors from last year: one layer strawberry and the other cookies & cream -- both were delicious yet again. Highly recommend for both presentation and taste!

My Baking Creations recently made customized cookies as party favors for a joint birthday…read moreparty/family reunion that my sister and I organized. I wanted our family's name printed on the cookies, but in the style of The Sopranos logo, making it recognizable but not an exact copy. I wasn't sure if I communicated it well in my initial message, but George promptly responded and knew exactly what I meant. I mentioned to George that we would have a lot of balloons at the party. He took that detail and created our own family name logo that was hand-piped beautifully onto every cookie. Throughout the entire ordering experience, both George and Yana were prompt with their responses and really made me feel like this wasn't a business-client relationship - it felt more like we were a team. They understood how important this event was to us and how I wanted every detail in my mind to come to fruition. As someone who has planned her fair share of events, it is such a relief to work with a vendor who understands and can execute your vision. I truly feel like a valued customer, as Yana and George made every effort to ensure that this whole process was at my convenience and to my satisfaction. Even though our cookies were a simple design, our entire family was impressed at the precision and uniformity of their work. Simply put, Yana and George are awesome.

It wasn't too sweet-the sweetness level all Asians aspire to go for :) Although the bottom red portion of my cake could've been colored a little better, overall, the cake was beautiful!

Via the website chat feature, Adhiti helped me make my choices and place my order. Payment and pickup at her micro bakery in the Sunset District were easy to coordinate. I wanted a sheet cake with an ocean theme and chose the shrikhand flavor. Adhiti created a completely custom ocean-inspired design with frosting waves and shells, and saffron sugar for sand. She even made little signs. It was completely unique! I worried whether the flavors -- cardamom, saffron, and nutmeg -- might be a bit unusual for the children, but everyone loved it. I also got the strawberry rose and haldi doodh cupcakes. DELICIOUS. The haldi doodh was my personal favorite of the three items -- delicious and beautiful, striking just the right balance of sweet, savory, salty, dense, fluffy, crispy, smooth. SO good! If you're looking for a way to make a special occasion even more special, I highly recommend Badam Babe.

Most recently, I ordered 2 sheet cakes from Badam Babe to serve about 100 guests at my Dad's 80th birthday party. I ordered one Masala Chai cake and one Haldi-Doodh (tumeric cardamom) cake, and they were a hit! Our party guests were amazed by the unique flavors and multiple people asked for Adhiti's contact info. My favorite was the Masala Chai cake! Previously, I ordered a Shrikand cake from Adhiti to bring to a holiday potluck, and it was incredible - both incredibly flavorful and stunning! My first order from Adhiti was last fall, when I ordered her Rangoli cookies for a Diwali party I hosted - the cookies were truly remarkable. I am so glad to have discovered Badam Babe and can't recommend her highly enough!

I could barely taste any chicken and mostly tasted the sauce. For $2.20, I expected to have more chicken filling. I wouldn't recommend the Chicken Bun.
