I can't say enough amazing things about Lori! I was calling around last-minute trying to find…read moresomeone who could make a vintage heart cake for my sister's engagement, on Easter weekend, no less, and everywhere else told me no and practically laughed at my request. Lori was the only one who didn't hesitate. She said she could make it happen... and she absolutely delivered! The cake was exactly what I had envisioned and more! It was beautiful, detailed, and SO delicious. It truly made the moment extra special, and everyone couldn't stop talking about it. Lori was incredibly kind, accommodating, and a pleasure to work with. I'm so grateful I found her and will definitely be ordering from her again!

From start to finish, Lori was wonderful to work with--she was quick to respond, very professional, and her pricing felt very fair and well worth the quality, care, and level of detail that went into crafting our cake. The cake design was beautiful and absolutely matched the photo inspiration I sent her. She offered a great variety of cake flavors and fillings to choose from, which made the process even more fun. Pickup was smooth and stress-free, and I truly appreciated the tall, sturdy box she used to protect all of the delicate decorations around the cake. Most importantly, the cake surpassed our expectations in both appearance and taste. It was a huge hit at the party! We will absolutely be using Lori again for our future bakery needs and highly recommend LK's Bake Shop to anyone looking for a special, high-quality custom cake.

His exact response to me was "they're bombbbb " I will definitely use them again for all my sweet treat needs in the NorCal area. Thank you for making my cousin happy along with his taste buds!!

I don't write reviews very often, but Shannon absolutely earned this one…read more Last week I found myself needing a custom birthday cake for my dear friend Rick, guitarist for the amazing new old-school thrash band NEFARIOUS (seriously...check them out! ). It had to be ready in less than five days, survive delivery to Cornerstone Berkeley, look incredible under stage lights, and feed the band and crew. I honestly wasn't sure anyone could pull it off. Someone in the Benicia community recommended Shannon, and from the first message I knew I was in good hands. She stayed in touch the entire time, coordinated with both me and the band's manager, sent progress photos, delivered everything right on time, and somehow made the whole process completely stress-free. Then I saw the cake. Pictures really don't do it justice. The flames, skulls, chains, custom NEFARIOUS logo...it looked like something that belonged on an album cover. Then Shannon told me everything except the cake board was edible. Mind blown. She also made 36 matching cupcakes. I heard they were delicious...because they disappeared in seconds. I didn't even manage to grab one before they were gone! Rick was blown away, the band loved it, and the cake is actually getting its own photo shoot before it's cut because nobody wants to be the first one to slice into it. If you're looking for someone who's incredibly talented, easy to work with, communicates well, and delivers exactly what she promises, Shannon is it. Thank you for helping make a really special night even better. You knocked it out of the park.

Well here you are, looking at Alpine Pastry and Cakes. Is this place good? Do I take a chance?…read more Will I be disappointed? Yes, it is very good Yes take a chance. You will not be disappointed. My wife and son are dessert snobs. Both have been to Paris and say France has the best pastries. But wait, they just came back from Alpine, and what did they say???? DELICIOUS!! They were smiling from ear to ear! They bought a carrot cake and an assortment of fresh and tasty pastries. And they even let me have a bite. It was so good! Sooooo, yes, try them. We've all had crappy deserts before. Move up to the big leagues and give Alpine a try!

Oh I hate to do this because they have done cakes for me in the past, but the call I just got off…read moreof was SUPER unpleasant. I called in today to see if they could decorate a faux cake for me. Not only was she rude, but she told me she would charge me AS MUCH AS SHE WOULD for a real cake. You mean to tell me it would cost me $100 plus to decorate a piece of Styrofoam? And then, when I told her the shape of the Styrofoam, she flat out said no. As if the shape of the Styrofoam changes the action? And I'm not a baker, at least not a professional one, but something feels off about what feels like the refusal to help me. And it's not like I am looking for free service, I'm willing to pay, but I'm not willing to pay cake prices for icing on Styrofoam. Saying no, as a business is OK, I'm all for it. But customer service needs a serious rebranding. I have never had a good in person/over the phone experience. Their food speaks for itself, but the customer service skills really takes away the value of a local business that has been around for years. I hope whoever I spoke on the phone with has a better day

LOVE small businesses like this! Definitely one worth supporting…read more Besides being made of locally-sourced, organic ingredients, their "cookiecakes" are delicious and not too heavy and sweet. They make great personalized, dessert "favors" for birthday parties, graduations, and more. We pass them out for friends and family to enjoy at home - after the party. We also used them to pass out to friends at church. I've tried many of their flavors, but my favorite is Chocolate Crinkle. It's moist like a brownie, and yummy too. I love how they're not too sweet. Service is good. The owner is professional and friendly.
