I'm back! And got a Dukedom! :)…read more Quality/Quantity - Small mixed fruit cream cake . With such fresh and generous fruits. And as usual, a beautiful presentation. See pictures. Well proportioned with cake, cream, and fruits; see pictures. Lastly, I really really liked the lady fingers, which must be a signature item as it is in the name of the business. Good firm texture, crispy shell, etc. I made sure I had a piece with each bite of the rest of the cake. Atmosphere - Small local business, please support local. To-go business. Plenty of metered parking, 3 meter maids today!! Open 6 days a week; closed Mondays. Service - 6 stars. Ivy and her team are so welcoming and professional. After Ivy read my review, she messaged me to make sure I understood what we bought and the differences between the types of cakes and encouraged me to come back to try this mixed fruits cream cake. Thanks. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success for the 45+ years.

Sent in order/inquiry via email and she was able to communicate effectively all the details that needed to be addressed in the span of a few days. Cake quality: 4.5/5 I originally chose s'mores and guava but because I wasn't sure if two layers would be too much for 2 people serving, I decided with 1 layer and 1 flavor. S'mores flavor was a marshmallow delight, which included a marshmallows buttercream for frosting, chocolate flavor cake, and marshmallows and graham cracker center. I loved that the frosting and cake were not overly sweet but felt that there could've been a bit more graham cracker. Overall: would highly recommend! If you are looking for a fast turn around time, and solid in quality flavor and design, please consider paperrock fork bakery! Also, Cheers to Elmeisher--She really cares and aims to make every cake wonderful and her best work yet. Can't wait to try her bakery again :)

I ordered a cupcake pull apart Dinosaur cake for my sons 2nd birthday!…read more I sent a dinosaur image I got from Google and asked if they could add a party had with his age on it. I honestly wasn't expecting it to turn out this good but wow! The artwork with the buttercream nailed the original image. Flavors: I opted for 4 flavors cookies n' cream, funfetti, Vanilla strawberry filling and chocolate! The chocolate cupcake with the chocolate filling were to die for. Super rich! Will surely be ordering from this place again!

From the initial inquiry to the final product, I had a 5-star experience with Jenn's Cupcakes &…read moreParties. Ordering was easy and Jenn made sure I understood the process as I have never ordered a cake like this. Pick up was easy, as she is a local Castro Valley resident. It was brought to my vehicle! Can't ask for better service than that. Since my grandson has two favorite flavors, I ordered a espresso/chocolate cake and a dozen strawberry cupcakes. Both the cake and cupcakes were beautifully decorated as well as deliciously moist. We all remarked at how delicious the cake was. The other grandsons carefully took the leftover cake and cupcakes home to enjoy later. My very minor complaint is that there is a lot of frosting. I would think I could discuss that with Jenn on my next order. Not much of a complaint, more of personal taste. I was quite impressed overall and when I have the occasion to order a cake, I know who to contact.

My sister bought several Goddess Noir cakes to have with Mother's Day brunch at her place. I'd…read morenever heard of them, but not only were they beautiful, they tasted sooo very good. The cakes are miniature little things that we cut up into four slices of each. We had chocolate, marble, and gluten-free sweet potato. I'm not usually a fan of cake or cupcakes, but these were exquisite. They weren't overly sweet, which was so refreshing. I had a piece of the chocolate cake and it was heavenly. Everyone agreed they were absolutely delicious. I don't know much about this company except they are based in Oakland and woman-owned. I hope they do well.

The dessert table at our wedding held deeply personal significance, and we're grateful to Brittany…read moreat Goddess Noir for helping us bring that to life. Our dessert table wasn't just about having yummy treats at our wedding--it held deep personal significance. We had lost both of the bride's parents and another important mother figure before our big day, and we wanted to honor their memory alongside the groom's parents who were there to celebrate with us. We chose specific desserts that represented each parent, as a way of keeping their presence felt through the idea of food, the most timeless way parents show their love. In addition to having some delicious desserts on her standard menu that suited some parents, Brittany worked with us to make a strawberry shortcake (not something she normally serves) in honor of the bride's father. We ended up bringing in two of the desserts from other vendors, and she plated those beautifully as well. Admittedly, there were a couple communication challenges during the course of working together which caused a bit of a scramble in the week leading up to our wedding to ensure that Brittany could properly plate the outside desserts. However, in the end she really brought our vision to life, and we heard from many of our guests both how beautiful our dessert table was and how delicious the desserts were.

I can't believe I haven't written a review for a business my kids and I frequent all the time!…read moreWe've been coming to Always Yours since it opened. Hands down they have the best drinks, cookies, macarons, cakes, and now salt bread! I always come to get treats for my kid's teachers (for their birthdays, teacher appreciation week, just because, etc.). I've brought friends visiting the Bay Area to this bakery, which they have loved. Always Yours also has fun cup sleeve events, macaron classes and afternoon tea from time to time. We love supporting small businesses and this one is definitely worth supporting! P.S. with all these drink places popping up in the area...we still think the drinks at Always Yours not only taste better, but also are of higher quality.

Order the ube cheesecake, butter toffee cookie, and a assam milk tea with boba. The order came out quickly. Ube Japanese cheesecake is tasty, not too much ube taste. It is super light and moist, love how it is not too sweet. For the assam milk tea, I prefer it with more tea flavor. The drink was ok, the matcha drinks look better. The butter toffee cookie was the best, it was flavorful, the toffee has added toasted nutty flavor with some sugar. I would get a box full. Overall, has a great variety of baked goods.

The cake was a Feroro rocher cake and it was delicious AF and so were the cake pops. Just look at the packaging. I mean it's so cute and pretty. I'm so glad I found this business. I'm hoping that I'll get to order more for more occasions. The service was clean and right on time. She is so available amidst her schedule. One thing I wish she had were cookies. Hopefully in the future.

The attention to detail, quality of ingredients, and professionalism were top notch. Everyone at my mom's party kept saying how pretty the cake was and how delicious it tasted!

I even arrived an hour later than my designated pickup time due to traffic, but they reassured me it was not a problem. They were very communicative which eased my worries. I will definitely be ordering again! The baker (Nisha) is very talented and will exceed your expectations!!

Good for grab to go. Every time there's a dinner party I always go get a bunch of cookies and desserts from this spot. Definitely a hole in the wall factory in San Leandro. If you know you know.

They have a huge selection of bakery sweets and pizza bread for a lot cheaper than you'd find elsewhere. Everything is super fresh and out of everything I've tried, there's nothing I wouldn't buy again. I Definitely recommend coming early in the day and early in the week. One time I came on a Friday afternoon and there was one pizza bread left and no large cakes. I came earlier in the week on a morning and they had a full table of pizza bread and a few large cakes, in addition to all the other pastries, cookies and mini cakes. You get a deal for buying larger quantities of some, but most items are $1.50 individually. Nothing Bundt Cakes has nothing on this place- if you're looking for mini or full size bundts this place is great and much more affordable. There's an office in the back with a window to the front where you pay. They take credit cards with a minimum charge or you can pay cash. Staff has always been friendly and I've never seen more than one other person in the store. I just wish they had A/C because on hot days it can get warm in there and they don't have refrigerated cases.
