They were delicious (everyone was raving over the coconut buttercream) & the styling came out PERFECT! I could not recommend Sylvia enough. Go! Go now! Get on her calendar. You will not be disappointed.

I've been Sylvia's customer for years, and I can't thank her enough for all the beautiful cakes…read moreshe's made for me throughout the years. Every time I order from her, I send her inspiration photos of how I want my cake to look, but when I pick it up, she always exceeds my expectations. From the decorations to the taste and flavor, her cakes are absolutely amazing. Sylvia is one of the kindest people I've ever met, and she truly values her customers. I remember ordering my daughter's 7th birthday cake, but she told me she would be out of state and wouldn't be able to take my order. Even so, she found a way to accommodate my request. She made my daughter's cake before leaving for her vacation just to make sure my daughter would still have her special birthday cake. That kindness is something I'll never forget. Most recently, I ordered my wedding cake from her. Once again, she went above and beyond my expectations. She even made my cake larger than what I had ordered--without charging me extra--because she wanted to make sure I had enough cake for all of my guests. That level of generosity and thoughtfulness is so rare. Sylvia is the most incredible baker I've ever met. Her cakes are consistently delicious, beautifully designed, and even better than the inspiration photos I send her. Her customer service is exceptional, and she genuinely cares about making every occasion special. I can't thank her enough for all the cakes she's made for me, my children, and my husband over the years. Whether I order months in advance or have a last-minute request, Sylvia always goes above and beyond to make it happen. She consistently exceeds my expectations with her creativity, delicious cakes, and exceptional customer service. I truly can't thank her enough for making every celebration for my family so special. I will continue to support her and recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing baker.

They had chicken, beef, beef with veg, pork, cheese with chili... maybe forgetting some. I got beef with veg, chicken and cheese. All were very delicious... I think the beef with veg was my favorite, beef was really tender and I made a noise when I bit into it lol I rolled in within their last hour of being open and she still had all varieties available. Super nice lady. I didn't try any of the bakery items, but they also had a lot of those left as well. Everything looked really good. I was tempted to try the raspberry/apricot pastries but didn't go for it... next time! Really nice little shop and I'll be back!!

Easily in my top 3 bakeries in South Bay…read more I bought a cannoli, cheesecake, and tamales for my sister and tried most of them. The cannoli was still super fresh and crispy with some chocolate inside as well. The cheesecake had a whipped cream and almond shavings on the outside with a layer of strawberry jelly on top. It satisfied the cheesecake flavor I needed. The tamales are really good here and never dry. Whenever I would come here, the bean and cheese tamales would usually always be sold out. Today I finally finally got to try one for the first time. It was so good that I wanted to go back inside and buy more, but I had already bought other tamales for my family to work through. Every flavor of tamale will not disappoint you, whether meat or vegetarian. Generally speaking every item here is made with love from these little older ladies. They make everything as though as they're making it for their families because everything tastes like they perfected their craft. They are easy to talk to and I love their customer service every time I come in. They are always joyful here. They now have seating if you want to enjoy your treats there. The area as a whole is not a big cafe, but it gets the job done. The dessert I usually always have to get is the merengues with walnuts. I used to get 10, but now I just get 3 because *health* lol ..

Will definitely be back for more.

She's charging more than what her works worth. I ordered a Gucci themed cake for a birthday party and not only did she not get the size correct..

The colors were faded, the sugar-sheet was all wrinkly, the fondat accessories were not cut out evenly & funny looking. She clearly needs more practice. Thank God she refunded me the full amount of the cake but i had to return it the same morning. I was cake-less for my event. I do NOT recommend her.
