Since my daughter's favorite Hello Kitty sidekick is Tuxedo Sam, I went online looking for a baking pro who could rise to the challenge and I found her. Terry Cooper of www.MiloSixsweettreats.org knocked it out of the park (Tel: 510.999.0505). Not only was it so straight forward to work out all of the details, but for a modest fee, she also delivered her baked pieces of art to my house the day off. The kids went gaga in class and it took a while before any of them bit into these arrestingly beautiful and detailed cake pops. We picked red velvet cake, and I must say, they were absolutely phenomenal. Perfect flavoring, not too sweet and delicious chocolate body filled with yummy and fluffy cake. Perfect b-day treat! I highly recommend Terry's creations and I will definitely hire her baking services again -for birthdays, baby-showers, weddings, girls' night, etc. Hope this was helpful. Btw, for presentation, I picked a Styrofoam ring which I quickly spray-painted with icy blue as if they were standing on ice. My daughter walked thru class and each kid could pick of the ring.

MiLo Six Treats is great! On a whim I decided to order some macarons last minute as a gift for a…read morefriend, & they had them ready within a few days. I had 2 dozen of the mini Salted Caramel macarons & I swear when I received them they put in a few extra as well. The macarons themselves were delicious and crafted well, as opposed to other places where their macarons can either come out too flat. Also, in comparison to other places that sell macarons, I feel like you're going to get more bang out of your buck ordering from here. However, about 25% of the macarons I received had their shells crushed die to poor packaging, I had to go out and find a better box to hold them in. However, I definitely can see myself ordering from them again in the future!

I also tried the lavender flavor cookies cover in chocolate. What a DELICIOUS treat!!!!!

But not here! One of my favorite traits of a good cookie is softness / gooeyness. Somehow they achieve that without any butter or milk or cream or eggs! And that great texture persists for days. Plus the flavoring is just amazing. Ginger Spice: Has a really nice ginger-tang. Reminds me of those soft ginger and sugar cookies you usually get around Christmas time. Also, super soft. Surprisingly "buttery" tasting for being vegan. Island Coconut: Even softer than the other cookies. So soft they start to fall apart if you don't fully support the whole cookie in the palm of your hand. But that's fine, the taste is awesome. So much grated coconut goodness. Chocolate Chip: This tasted a bit off. Probably because chocolate chip cookies are classic and I've formed certain expectations over the decades. I think the big issue here is that the cookie base is so nice and chewy but the chips are hard and dry, kinda powdery. I guess vegan chocolate is just not my thing. So their cookie baking is still on point, but the vegan chocolate vendor is pretty blah. Peanut Butter: If any type of cookie is a good fit for being vegan, it's peanut butter! Peanut butter is such a magical food because it is creamy and filling and satisfying and generally amazing whilst being vegan. I appreciated how in their cookie version there's lots of peanut bits in addition to the peanut butter heavy cookie, it was like some waved a magic wand and turned chunky peanut butter into a cookie!

I have to admit the red and green ones were definitely good party favors during the holiday season when I was working. It wasl recently I saw their packages of fortune cookies at CVS in Alameda going for about $5.00. I ended up buying two bags and enjoyed them. What does that mean? I definitely will have to purchase them in the future whenever I am in the Oakland Chinatown area.

Even better than how it looked, was how it tasted! The person we were celebrating is Gluten Free and the cake was gluten free and vegan. I didn't have huge expectations of the taste based on past experiences, but i would have had no idea. The cake was perfectly moist and dense snickerdoodle flavored. The icing had that perfect texture and was cinnamon sweet. It was amazing! I live in Seattle and it was for a baby shower in Oakland. I was nervous because I've never ordered a custom cake before, I was doing it at a bakery I don't know in a city I was visiting and needs it dropped off. Alexandra eased any worries I had and made the experience memorably wonderful. The shower wasn't going to help traditional - not a drop of pink or blue so I wanted to give some direction on what I was hoping for. I sent some images as a reference and Alexandra offered input to make sure we were aligned. She then created something that went with what I was thinking, but it was even more beautiful. I know I am gushing, but I can't help it. If you are looking for a special cake that tastes as good as it looks, use Salted Holiday!

I like the convenience of having things sent directly to my house and it's like Christmas every month! For the Little Artisan Box, I like how there are different levels of subscriptions: 1) Monthly, 3 Months, 6 Months, 1 Year 2) Small or Large Boxes (approx. $25 or $50 per box) This makes it easy to customize how long you want to commit to this program and flexible with your budget. Other perks: + Local food + Seasonal flavors + Beautiful packaging I got a few goodies from local Oakland eateries (including Oaktown Jerk and Chunky Pig) in the Oaktown Pride sample box. I would definitely consider getting a subscription for a foodie friend's birthday and/or Christmas.

I would not recommend this business for weddings or important events…read more We booked a dessert table donuts, cotton candy, etc. with a confirmed 2:00 PM delivery time. There was no mention of a delivery window. At 2:00 PM there was no delivery, no phone call, and no response to repeated calls and texts. The first message we received was at 3:23 PM saying on my way. That's over an hour late on the day of a wedding. When the vendor finally arrived, they refused to bring the items inside, even after being given simple directions to an accessible first-floor entrance. Instead, we were told that if someone didn't come outside, they would leave with the desserts items we had already paid half down on and were prepared to pay the remaining balance for. This caused unnecessary stress and scrambling during the reception. What was most disappointing was the owner's response afterward. Instead of accountability, she deflected by rewriting the timeline, blaming background noise from frustrated guests, and making personal remarks about me as a customer. None of that changes the facts: * The delivery was late. * Calls and texts went unanswered until 3:23 PM. * The delivery was not completed as agreed. On a wedding day, professionalism, punctuality, and clear communication matter. Unfortunately, that was not our experience. Choose your vendors wisely.

It all centers around something wonderfully unique -- the Pavlova, a meringue-based treat, crowned with fresh fruit. The meringue has a delicate crunch on the outside, giving way to a soft, pillowy center, and the fresh fruit layered on top "really ties it all together". Light, sweet, and truly irresistible. I've had many standout desserts throughout my life, but I can say this is a dessert offering you won't find anywhere else. A truly special experience from first bite to last!
