I wanted to surprise my wife with something truly special for her birthday during our weekend getaway to Joshua Tree. I had a vision for an extraordinary cake, and finding someone who could bring that vision to life was no easy task. Then I found Lisa, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience! From our very first conversation, Lisa was wonderful. She was friendly, accommodating, professional, and genuinely invested in making this surprise everything I hoped it would be. When I finally saw the finished cake, I was absolutely speechless! The creativity, attention to detail, and craftsmanship were simply phenomenal. This wasn't just a birthday cake. It was a genuine work of art! And the best part? My wife had absolutely no idea what was coming! When she finally saw it, she was genuinely surprised and absolutely loved it. Seeing her reaction made every bit of planning worthwhile. That moment alone was priceless! As beautiful as the cake was, it tasted just as incredible. It's not often you find something that looks almost too good to eat but tastes every bit as amazing! What makes Lisa truly special is that she understands she's creating more than a dessert. She's helping people celebrate life's special moments, and the care and passion she puts into her work really show. This cake became one of the highlights of our birthday getaway, and it's something our family will remember for years to come. Lisa, thank you for going above and beyond to make my wife's birthday so special. You helped me pull off a surprise I'll never forget, and I couldn't be more grateful! If you're looking for something extraordinary rather than just another birthday cake, look no further. Lisa is an incredibly talented artist who deserves every bit of recognition she receives. Five stars, without hesitation. Worth every penny, and then some!

The triple chocolate was chocolate with chocolate frosting and then chocolate jimmies.

I came in around 3 PM on a weekday, and they didn't have many flavors left, so I bought all three: berries & cream, pumpkin cream, and red velvet. It wasn't a hot day, and my friend's place was only about 5 minutes away. But when I opened the box, the cupcakes were way too wet and moist. I picked one up for a picture, and the coating actually stuck to my fingers. The strawberry also tasted like it wasn't very fresh, almost like it had been sitting out for too long. They tasted okay, not bad, but nothing really stood out. Unfortunately, the overly wet, chewy texture and the not-so-fresh strawberry really ruined the experience for me. Sorry, but I wouldn't recommend this place.

Hit and miss when you go to pick up a cupcake too late. Go and read hours and sign update. No photos, we ate them too fast. Thats what happens when you heard about this place, and never had the luck to get there on time. My craving was satisfied ten-fold. My friend and I inhaled those babies. Had a maple, a coconut, and a chocolate one. Rainbow, cupcakes, or bust!

This past June while planning for a birthday, I had the opportunity to reach out to Melissa and her…read moreteam to get a cake ready for the celebration. Melissa was very accommodating with the shorter than their recommended lead time of about 3.5 weeks versus 4 weeks in advance and was very responsive throughout the entire process through email with the final confirmation over the phone. On the day of the pick up, they also remembered we were coming in from LA and followed up with us to make sure we were going to get there before they closed at 4PM. They had a wide variety of flavors to choose from that could be cake, but we settled on traditional chocolate, one of the flavors that allow for a custom design. We sent them an inspiration photo of what we were looking for along with the color scheme and they absolutely knocked it out of the park on the looks. The cake was well received by everyone at the party. Since I was unable to get one of their more daring and creative flavors as the custom cake, I did go ahead and order a dozen of their Dubai chocolate cupcakes and very much enjoyed them.
