Terrible customer service. The owner, Violette, who helped me was incredibly rude and had a horrible attitude. I was simply trying to place a cake order that was simple with no frills. She asked for a "theme" off her yelp page, which is an ok question for ordering a cake, but honestly I was trying to go for simple and did not want any fancy theme. I tried to appease her by figuring out a theme, and I may not have been explaining myself correctly but didn't deserve her reactive abrasive response. I was polite, kind, and doing my best to be clear while working with her, yet she somehow acted offended and spoke to me in a mean, unprofessional manner. While I was trying to correct however we got off on the wrong foot she just got more unprofessional. The interaction was so uncomfortable that I ended up in tears and canceled my order. I immediately called the bakery I usually use, and the process was easy and pleasant, exactly how it should be. Just a normal birthday cake ordering experience. This place completely lost my business due to her attitude alone. No one should be treated that way, especially when they're just trying to place an order. Very disappointing experience. I do not recommend her bakery on this experience alone. read more

My family and friends were fans of Kingfish Cafe when it was around. I recently found out that the cake slices being sold at Miro Tea in Ballard were by the same in house pastry chef that made the cakes at King Fish. My friend loved this cake so much back when he turned 40 he had the cake ordered the cake for his party from the cafe. He is visiting from LA and I had told him about finding out where to order his favorite coconut cake from. I'm sure he had a slice between his 40th birthday till now that he's 59 but he was so excited when I told him I had to order. We were having a small gathering of friends at his brother's during his stay so I placed an order for a 6 inch. I personally couldn't pick it up, but my friend who loves the cake did. Pick up went smoothly and the cake was wrapped in a plastic wrap which was nice. It was a warm day and I told my friend to make sure to have a cooler of sometime. We could not have been happier with the cake was as good as he remembered. Everyone loved the cake. Thank you for making my friend so happy!! I've picked up a couple slices from Miro for friends of the hummingbird and Blackout cakes. I'm afraid to buy a slice for myself cause it will be too easy to go back each time. The cake was moist and it wasn't overly sweet. There was still a quarter of the cake left for my friend to enjoy after the gathering. Thank you for making the visit so special. read more

My husband and I want to give Sweet Violette the highest rating possible for the absolutely most incredible cake we've ever had and it was for our wedding celebration. They turned out so beautiful how they were decorated them with orchids which created the most beautiful display of the cakes. The taste of the cakes were out of this world and our guest at our wedding are still complimenting them. We had just returned from getting married in Maui so our cake choices were a pineapple upside down cake (which was the best we have ever had), lavender buttercream, coconut buttercream, vanilla buttercream, coconut trifecta, and vegan gluten free vanilla. The buttercreams and the cake was light, fluffy, and absolutely incredible flavor. The only issue is we had was that we had a hard time stopping eating the cake ;) Thank you, Sweet Violette read more

Violette is a master at her craft and it is evident when you meet her that she truly loves baking. She is innovative and likes coming up with new ideas to bake treats that delight everyone, even people with allergies to dairy and gluten. She has a variety of options for any special occasion large or small and goes out of her way to make her clients delighted. It was our pleasure to have her cater desserts for our outdoor wedding. We plan to be repeat customers to support her small business and taste more great things. J and S read more

So delicious! The best gluten free cake I have ever had. I can't eat gluten so it was important to me to have a gluten free cake at our small wedding. My family was so surprised when they found out it was gluten free... everyone absolutely loved it! Viollette did such a great job communicating with us from the time we ordered the cake to the time we picked it up. We had a vanilla cake with raspberry filling and buttercream frosting. I wish I had a picture of the full cake, but the wedding day got away from us. Here is a quick picture I took after picking it up to give you an idea of the beautiful rosette design. I'll definitely be back in the future! read more

Thank you so much Violette! You absolutely made my friend so happy that she was thought of, so you have my extreme gratitude! I called Violette the day before, and she was kind and flexible enough to not only make it for the next day, but also delivered it for me! I am stationed at Nellis AFB, and so I needed someone in Seattle I could trust to carry my request out for me while I couldn't do it personally. Violette did that and more, listening to the details, researching the colors, and creating it. She absolutely loved it! If you need a cake, you couldn't be in any better hands! Again, thank you so much Violette, and know that you really made a difference in someone's life today and brought a smile to them! read more

Amazing vegan cake. Very accommodating baker that helped me pull off a special birthday surprise for a friend.

Sweet Violette helped to create a wonderful vegan chocolate birthday cake for my 5 year old grandson. It was short notice and Violette was very accommodating, even delivered it perfectly on time. The cake was rich, moist and delicious, and everyone enjoyed it, especially Lucas. I found him sneaking another bite after the party! Thanks again! PS, Lucas loved decorating his cake with his toys! We will definitely be repeat customers now that i know that vegan chocolate cake can taste so good! read more

Amazing baker....Believe me when I say....Violette review don't do justice! I found out late Sunday that a cousin intended to marry four (4) days later on Thursday. Offering to assist, I scoured websites and reviews for a baker for my cousin's cake. As I live in Boston and didn't want to add any additional pressures, I took my marching orders for a red velvet cake and ended the call. I created a short list of bakers only to find that most were closed until Wednesday. FORTUNATELY, Sweet Violette answered promptly Monday morning. I informed Violette of my ideas. And, she DELIVERED!!! I must echo a fellow reviewer's comment as Violette is so accommodating/extremely receptive to my evolving idea changes. You will not go wrong with her and her cakes taste ....Amazing so my cousin said. Thanks for making my cousin's day wonderfully memorable. Sorry for rambling but 1st internet review ever. read more

You guys. Do not hesitate. Do not pass Go. Just order some cakes right now. The cake itself, even before the sweet buttercream frosting makes your palette gleek with joy, is moist and delicious! I hope Violette never ever ever ever stops making cakes because I never ever ever ever want to stop eating her cakes! read more

Needed a last minute vegan cake for a friend who I was unaware had an egg allergy. Took the order a couple days before and delivered to the venue. Was delicious!!! read more

I was looking for vegan cake that was also delicious. I've tried other ones but they were all just simply not quite right. Sweet Violette's cake was moist, sweet but not over the top and just delicious. The cake was gone by the end of the night, nothing left of it. It was a big hit! She also incorporated my daughters pumpkin theme well. She was really easy to communicate with and flexible when I changed my cake flavor after ordering. If you need a cake, I recommend you trying. read more

ordered a gluten free vegan coconut and vennila buttercream cake for my wedding, it was delicious and loved the decoration!

BEST CAKE EVER. EVER. I live in Florida and my daughter is alone in Seattle, going nowhere due to CoVid. From taking my initial phone call to delivery of the cake, Violette could not have been more kind, lovely, gracious and accommodating. Not only was the order and delivery process amazing, but the cake was absolutely beautiful and delicious - the best chocolate cake she has ever had. Being apart for the holidays is difficult, but Violette eased my heartache and reassured as she delivered BAKING PERFECTION. For that, there is no price. Sweet Violette is a true Seattle treasure. Thank you, thank you, thank you a thousand times over! read more

Sweet Violette cakes are the best in Seattle, hands down ! She made our wedding cake 5 years ago, the red velvet, and we just ordered another, smaller, red velvet cake this past week. We, and our friends, are big fans ! Violette was so fun to work with, so accomodating. We'll definitely be ordering Sweet Violette cakes in the future ! read more

Sweet Violette made our wedding cakes in 2013 and they were so delicious that people are still talking about them! We ordered the Lemon Lavendar and Baklava cakes. They were beautifully presented and absolutely scrumptious. Working with Violette was a breeze, too. I think I will order the Lemon Lavendar for every special occasion forever. read more
