Chanel Cake (Sweet as Love) literally

Natalie made the best cake we ever had. So beautiful! 2 days later and I'm still eating the fondant and roses! Delivered on time. VERY reasonable pricing. I definitely recommend Sweet as Love Cakes. MikeO

We couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding cake! Sweet as Love absolutely exceeded our expectations. Not only was the cake stunningly beautiful - it truly looked like a work of art - but it tasted just as amazing as it looked. The team was so kind, responsive, and easy to work with throughout the entire process. They really listened to what we wanted and brought our vision to life flawlessly. We're so grateful for Natalie helping make our wedding day even more special. Highly recommend!

Monster jam cake

The most delicious and perfect looking cake! I was so happy with the turn out of this cake that was just briefly discussed over a few emails and a few details . I could tell by her Instagram that she pays attention to details and is extremely creative so I was not worried at all. And not only was the design perfect the cake is so delicious. We had a chocolate cake with a chocolate whipped cream filling. Thank you, Natalie for executing this perfect cake for son

We could not have asked for a more delicious and beautiful wedding cake!! We are so thankful and so happy that we went with sweet as love! Natalie is great and fast to respond. I highly recommend. Thanks again for making our day special.

We found Natalie at Sweet As Love because we were looking for wedding cake flavors beyond the standard (*ahem* boring) options, and Natalie certainly delivered! We ended up going with 2 flavors: blueberry lavender and almond dulce de leche. Natalie was also super willing to try out custom flavors for us, which we really appreciated even though we ended up not picking them! One of the standout qualities was that Natalie uses real fruit in her fruit-flavored fillings, which made the fillings taste so refreshing. I also knew very early on that I wanted to feature a figure of our dog and make it look like our dog had been munching on some of the cake frosting, and Natalie executed this PERFECTLY. We got so many compliments from our guests on the flavors AND on the adorable decoration with our pup. We had so much cake left over from the day (because we majorly over-ordered) that my husband and I ate some practically every day for a few weeks, and we never got tired of it!

Our beautiful cake!

Sweet as Love OC comes to the rescue for my 10 year anniversary! As stated on her page, a party without a cake is just a meeting and this would have been the case for my 10 year anniversary if not for Natalie! She's an incredibly creative, kind and caring business owner who really loves her work. I provided some basic requirements for my cake and her creative vision for what I wanted blew me away. I'm also extremely grateful to her for accommodating me on such short notice. This detail is something I will never forget and think of for years to come. The inside of the cake was her delicious signature funfetti flavor. Natalie, thank you again for this beautiful anniversary treat!

Baby shower cake!
Ashly N.

Natalie is fantastic! We had a little mishap DAYS before my sister-in-law's baby shower which had me franticly looking for a new baker to make my SILs cake. I messaged Natalie in the morning, sent her a photo with a light description of what my SIL liked and within an hour she confirmed that she was able to help us out. The cake was perfectly packaged and ready to go for pick-up Saturday morning! Working with Natalie brought me so much peace. She communicated well, was prompt in replies, and her artistic style and quality cake makes her a super star. This cake looked fabulous, tasted amazing and will be the only person I go to moving forward for special cakes. Thank you, Natalie! I highly recommend :)

Oogie boogie cake

I cannot thank Natalie enough for the absolutely incredible Oogie Boogie cake she made for my son! She truly outdid herself. I usually just grab a small cake from the grocery store, but my son had his heart set on a Nightmare Before Christmas theme, for his August birthday, no less! I reached out to Natalie, and she responded within the hour and somehow squeezed us into her schedule. She was communicative, kind, and truly saved the day. The cake itself was not only a showstopper visually! True edible art, but it was also delicious. I honestly don't think I can go back to store-bought cakes after this. The price is 100% worth it. Your kids will light up when they see their cake, and the smiles will say it all. Trust me, you won't regret it!

Wedding Cake

We cannot thank Sweet as Love Bakery enough for creating the most stunning (and delicious!) wedding cake we could have imagined. Our 3-tier cake was truly a work of art -- beautifully adorned with cascading fresh roses and delicate details, and topped with such a charming design. It was not only breathtaking to look at, but every bite was absolutely divine. Many of our guests commented on how gorgeous and unique the cake was, and it truly became the centerpiece of the evening. The flavors were just as incredible as the presentation -- moist, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. From the design process to the final presentation, Sweet as Love Bakery was professional, creative, and so easy to work with. They truly brought our vision to life and made it even better than we dreamed. If you're looking for a baker who combines artistry with flavor, look no further -- Sweet as Love Bakery is the one! We will be recommending them to everyone we know.

OMG! This cake is the craziest cake I've ever seen she made my birthday dreams come true! Scream is my favorite movie and I was absolutely blown away by Natalie's artistry. It went so well and fit the vibe of my Halloween birthday party perfectly! The mask was cake pop and taste SO GOOD my guests were absolutely blown away by the design too. Lol I'm still in shock please buy your custom cakes from her. Also Natalie is so sweet and accommodating and really made sure to help with the transfer to make sure the cake was safe during travel. 20/10 experience!!!!

Cake

The cake for my daughter's birthday was magnificent! I asked Natalie for a certain design and she didn't hesitate to say that she would love to make one for me! This was the second custom order that Natalie created for me. I would definitely recommend her services. The birthday cake was not just a masterpiece, but it was also very tasty. The lavender flavored cake and the pink champagne buttercream were simply amazing - perfectly moist and not too sweet. All of our guests couldn't stop raving about how delicious it was. Not only is Natalie incredibly talented, but also so kind and gracious. Thank you so much for the creation that truly took the cake! No pun intended!

Natalie was such a wonderful person to work with to create our dream wedding cake! We were wanting a vintage lambeth, tall, and elegant cake and what we received was exactly what we were hoping for. We decided on lavender cake with blackberry filling and we had guests coming up to us saying how delicious it was all night. We had such a great time working with her and are so grateful for our expe

I feel compelled to add to my previous review and Natalie's response. First of all, I did not state that she admitted to producing sloppy work. That is a misquote. Second, her statement that the actual product may not fully resemble inspired pictures is quite an understatement. To illustrate this, i find it necessary to include a picture of what i requested and was assured I would receive, as well as a picture of her delivered product.

We went gloriously overboard: the open-faced salmon lox sandwich, strawberry evalope, chocolate Elfroy , and mille-feuille. The salmon sandwich was fresh and flavorful, though the cream could have been ever so slightly thicker and the ciabatta bread slightly more toasted. The strawberry evalope and chocolate Elroy were terrific: delicately crisp croissants, butter beautifully balanced, and fillings/toppings sweet but thankfully restrained from becoming sugar bombs. But the mille-feuille was utterly incredible and the reason to write this review. It was like the perfect vanilla ice-cream cone flavor transformed into 1000 crispy, buttery, flaky layers, with a restrained custard that let every texture and flavor shine. I'm not even a vanilla fan and it was pure joy. A transcendent pastry experience--and worth every calorie we pretended not to count. Five stars. As the owner of a Mom and Pop cabinetry store, I have to congratulate Sami and Sarah, you guys are crushing it!!

Its gorg and i was tempted to get a ton! We ended up just choosing a salt bread and the seasonal danish which was the green grape one! I also recall loving their matcha latte so i wanted to try it again. They def raised their prices. I remember it being pretty affordable and cheaper than other bakeries, and i swear their matcha was also like $6 but it was $6.50 today with most pastries being over $5! Our total for 3 items was $18.36 so it was super pricey!!! They offered to warm up our salt bread which was nice, but even with it toasted it was still underwhelming. It wasnt very crispy at all, i thought it was underbaked as in it needed to be baked longer to get crispy. Otherwise it was fine - tasted like bread but not salt bread. The danish was gorg, but also not good. I recall their croissants always always always being bready and this one was no different. This one was super bready and dissapointing. The filling was yummy and graps were sweet but i expect a bakery to know how to make a good croissant..... The matcha latte was good, but with paying extra for oat milk it's now just as expensive as other places so i dont think its worth going back. Overall dissapointed, i wont be back :( its really a shame bc their stuff is so cute and i love bakeries but it's overpriced and their stuff isnt that good

We had five sandwiches, two scones, fruit, dessert, and all the tea we could drink. The service was outstanding. They let us stay over the 90 minute reservation to continue celebrating. A definite thumbs up. See you next time

Vibe: Girly and cute, the place is adorned with faux flowers on the wall, flower table cloths, pink…read morevelvet chairs. Definitely an overall Pink theme. It looks clean and spacious enough for a small scale tea shop. There are a-la-carte menu items (pastries, tea) and an afternoon tea menu. Price: $45 for the Royal Tea Experience package which is extremely reasonable considering what you get. There is a 90 mins max for each tea experience. They are pretty booked from what I saw. Food: For the Royal Tea Experience, each of us got: tea of choice, 5 tea sandwiches (Cucumber Dill Cream cheese, Chicken Salad, Egg Salad, Cranberry Turkey pinwheel, Roast Beed Arugula), 2 scones (Vanilla and Strawberry), Cream, Strawberry preserve, berries and some grapes, 3 desserts (mini muffin, Chocolate brownie, some kind of mini cake). The tea pots were a lot smaller than other places I've been to (probably enough for 1.5 cups of tea if filled to the rim). I love the heart-shaped sugar cubes, the size is just enough for a half teaspoon of sugar. They didn't have any milk for the tea set up like other places I've been to. I love the roast beef sandwich balanced flavor; the chicken one is really bland, a dash of curry powder would enhance the flavor more in my opinion; the cucumber needs to be sliced thinner as these slices are rather chunky; the scones are fine - I usually prefer my scones warm but only 1 place I know that serve it that way. The tea selection is decent, I went for Jasmine Rose. I feel that the scent and tea flavor was rather weak. There was barely any scent of each so it didn't leave a big impression on me. I want to try other ones in the future for sure. The staff was super nice to offer an extra tea bag if the flavor is too weak so I went for another bag. Service: Excellent! They were fast, courteous, and friendly. 2 staff made their rounds frequently to check on us and made sure we had enough hot water in our tea pots . Parking: This is where I docked up a star. The parking lot is shared with many businesses in the same strip mall. I came here at 10 AM on a Saturday and the whole parking lot was filled, there was no spot for me to park. My friend had to park all the way on the other side of the mall and I managed to find some parking in the back (side street). Avoid lunch time at all cost, there were cars waiting around as they couldn't find any parking. After the tea experience, we went somewhere else and upon coming back around 3 PM, half the parking lot is empty. If I would give anyone a tip on the parking time, it seems to be ideal around this time.

This time for my birthday, I thought we'd try a standard flavor cake since they should be making it on the regular. We got the lemon delight. It was super sweet. I couldn't eat any of the frosting and the frosting filling next to the lemon was very sweet. They also messed up my name. I remember my husband spelling out my name like the military nato style too but what was written on the order form was wrong. And then on the cake was wrong and didn't even match the order form. I know my name is difficult but I guess the decorator wasn't there so it was a difficult fix. They apologized and gave us candles. On a side note and not affecting this rating: We ate at the cafe side once and it was good. But we sat outside and had a bad experience unrelated to the cafe. Someone with their huge hairy dog was just outside the cafe and rubbing their long hair dog getting it into the air and the wind was blowing it all over our food and drinks and also in the nearby tables. Definitely killed the appetite. This is not affecting the rating. Rating is based solely on the cakes.
