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! read more

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! read more

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 :) read more

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! read more

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!

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! read more

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. read more

Thanks so much Natalie! You have a cake friend for life in me. ;) read more

Do not order from this seller if you care about attention to detail, accurate flavor, or professionalism. I ordered a custom cake for a milestone celebration and had high hopes based on the communication and presentation. Unfortunately, the experience ended in disappointment -- and silence when I tried to respectfully address the issues. The design was cute and well-crafted, and I'll be fair: even though the colors were different than what I requested, I ended up liking how it looked. That said, we never finalized or confirmed the exact design or color palette before the cake was made -- which felt unprofessional for a custom order. Things could have gone badly if I hadn't happened to like the final appearance. I also want to clarify that the inspiration photo I sent was not AI-generated. It was a real photo with some color adjustments, and I clearly explained that. Claiming it was AI to justify the design changes wasn't accurate. At pickup, I appeared happy and polite, but only because the cake was already completed -- there was no point in making a scene. I hoped the taste would make up for any concerns, but unfortunately it didn't. The flavor and proportion were the biggest issues: - I requested 2 fillings, chocolate filling with sweet cream filling (and have written proof), but the cake had no chocolate at all. Only something that was whipped cream. - There was far too much frosting and filling, and not enough actual cake. The cake was good, even though a bit dry. - It was overwhelmingly sweet and difficult for anyone to eat. Most of the cake remains untouched in our fridge. More than half. I emailed afterward to explain all this calmly and clearly, even offering to return the untouched cake and revise my review if we could reach a fair solution. I received no reply at all. I was heartbroken because I put real care and excitement into this order. What should have been a joyful moment ended with frustration and being completely ignored. This isn't about personal preference -- it's about clear miscommunication, missing elements, and lack of professionalism after the fact. I can't recommend this business based on my experience. "I wish I had gotten something from the grocery store" are my feelings now. read more

Natalie is such a wonderful person to work with. My cousin initially found her via Instagram to make a birthday cake for my nephew. We all loved the cake! Ever since then, Natalie has been our go to. Before the pandemic, March 2020, I hosted a baby shower and Natalie made and delivered a wide array of desserts, cake, cupcakes, cake pops, and cookies. It was so easy to communicate my ideas with her and she brought it all to life plus more. Last weekend, she gracefully squeezed me in and was able to make my mom a beautiful birthday cake. I left the design up to her and everyone was in love! You can tell Natalie is passionate for what she does by her work. If you haven't placed an order with her, you are missing out!! read more

Sweet As Love, is as sweet as it gets! I've ordered from Natalie a couple of times and let me tell you, her cakes taste delicious, the cake and filling are perfectly proportional and her designs are stunning. For my son's first birthday, she made a coconut cake with passion fruit curd folded into the most velvety buttercream. For the design, she utilized various concentrations of matcha green tea and buttercream for the perfect wild one theme party. Again, for my mother, she whipped up a traditional sheet of cake that was sweet as a rose! Filled with macerated raspberries, the hint of rose cake was birthday delight. While we live in Los Angeles county, it's always worth the trip for our dearest loved ones. Thank you Sweet Natalie! read more

I have worked with Chef Natalie for many years and highly recommend her custom cakes. She is an artist! She made a funky cupcake cake for our company's 21st anniversary cocktail event with short notice, and not only were the cupcakes delicious, the cake was designed in our company logo and our guests were delighted! A few years ago, she gave my daughter a private macaron lesson in her kitchen, and her knowledge of baking goes way beyond cakes! Check out her Instagram page to see the really beautiful cakes she designs...I follow her and am always amazed by the cakes she designs for her clients. Chef Natalie came in #2 in season 7 of The Spring Baking Championship so her skills and talents are clear! ! I am so proud to be her client! read more

People, i have waited for my husband's birthday for a good minute now. I mean i love him, but it was mostly because of this cake. I was dreaming of it with icecream or milk, and yesterday when i took a bite i was in Heaaveeeeen again. I mean, how many bakers do you guys know that can bake a chocolate cake so early in the day, and still have it be moist, soft, and delicious by the time you really eat it? I've tried many different cakes and items from people but wow this one's worth every penny you pay for!! She's so sweet and it's as if she makes these with so much love or something? *wink wink the name* Anyways, if you're debating on that other baker or this one, this one will NOT disappoint, i promise you!! read more

Natalie made an amazing wedding cake for us! Before the wedding, Natalie offered a sample box so we could try different cake and filling flavors (for an extra price, but worth it).

We got the lavender cake with blueberry filling and WOW. So many good options to choose from though, we had trouble picking between them all!

Unfortunately our experience with Natalie was very poor. I ordered a three tiered wedding cake based on a picture I had shown her. She confidently stated that she could re-create this cake. The cake she delivered to my wedding was an absolute embarrassment with sloppy detail work, off-center tiers, and a middle tier that in no way resembled the picture, and therefore did not tie in with our theme whatsoever. I contacted her several days after the wedding and voiced my dissatisfaction and disbelief over the product she delivered. To my surprise, she indicated that she actually understood why I was disappointed. I inquired why she would knowingly deliver a cake that was so obviously subpar, sloppy, and unattractive. She failed to answer my question. She did refund approximately one third of the cost of the cake, which obviously did nothing to mitigate the disaster she delivered. Not only did my guests comment on the sloppy work, but the cake is so unattractive that I am unable to use any of the photographs that feature it. I know that Natalie is capable of creating beautiful cakes, however her performance seems to be extremely inconsistent and I unfortunately had a horrible experience read more
