    I ordered from Sylvia's last year for my older brother's birthday, and she delivered a phenomenal cake. A year later, I didn't waste a second before calling Sylvia again--this time for my daughter's birthday. Once again, she absolutely delivered. No matter what idea you have in mind, Sylvia finds a way to bring it to life. Sylvia's is my go-to business for birthdays and special events. Highly recommended!

    Picture or the cake (after it had been cut into), pictures just don't do it justice. It was beautiful!

    Ok so I was looking everywhere to get a gender reveal cake for one of my dearest friends. Her and her significant other are huge fans of Harry Potter so it was kind of hard finding someone who does specialty cakes like that ....until I found Sylvia! Communication was easy, smooth, and overall transparent. Her prices are honestly too good to be true for the amazing work she does. She accommodated all my requests especially since my friend is color blind so the color for the inside of the cake was very specific. Picking up the cake was simple, Sylvia is a professional and ensures you/shows you she has her licenses to conduct business as she has been for the past 10+ years. The celebration was great , my friend and her significant other LOVEDDD the cake, as did everyone at the restaurant, and the cake was DELICIOUS! Flavor was definitely there and it was moist . I will be ordering from Sylvia again. Thank you so much Sylvia!!

    Sylvia is great at her craft. She has delivered exactly what I wanted not once but three times. I'm pleased with her service and prompt communication.

    Hello Kitty Birthday Cake by Sylvia
    Trina V.

    I ordered a custom Hello Kitty birthday cake from Sylvia for my best friend's birthday, and it exceeded my expectations! The cake was beautifully designed and the colors were vibrant with cute lotus flower details. We chose a chocolate cake with salted caramel filling, and it was delicious! Also Sylvia is attentive and prompt - it was ready for pick-up exactly when they said it would be. For a custom cake of this quality, the price was very reasonable. The craftsmanship and taste were worth every penny! Overall, I was impressed and would highly recommend them for any special occasion.

    Disney princesses birthday cake! Absolutely LOVED the 3D effect on the dresses. Once again, Sylvia mastered the cake recreating a cake that matched our theme to a T! You can see the birthday girl enjoying her birthday cake! Yummy! For our daughter's first birthday we had a trendy vision and had a bohemian theme in mind. Sylvia not only brought our inspiration picture to life, but she also made it work in a three-tier cake! Beautiful and delicious! Sylvia is a joy to work with!

    Vanilla with creamy chocolate filling - cannot go wrong!

    We ordered a custom cake for our baby shower this past weekend and we were so impressed with how it turned out! The cake was beautiful and delicious! All of our guests couldn't stop complimenting how well made the cake was. Sylvia was extremely easy to work with and was very accommodating to our availability. I recommend her for any event!

    Retirement cake and cupcakes!

    Sylvia did an excellent job for my recent retirement ceremony. She consulted with me and my wife to design the perfect cake and cupcakes. For an extra fee she personally delivered the items with care. Thank you, Sylvia for making our day very special!

    Friends theme birthday cake

    Thank you so much Sylvia, for another amazing cake! It was delicious, vanilla with salted caramel filling thank you for listening to the ideas I had and making it way better than what I had in mind. Not only was it delicious, it was also a great masterpiece that received a lot of compliments.

    My 50th birthday cake came out exactly how I wanted it. Sylvia was a great communicator, she executed things perfectly to my wish, and the taste of the cake was absolutely incredible. Between the flavors of vanilla, chocolate, and marble with champagne buttercream filling, it was hard to pick a favorite slice! I highly recommend Sylvias Cakes!

    Personalized cake for commissioning ceremony

    I just had to drop in and say that Sylvia did an amazing job with my cake and made my day so darn special. Everyone admired the cake and wanted to know who did it. I definitely passed the information around. Thank you so much for making my ceremony that much more special.

    Sylvia did an amazing job! Gave her the idea and concept of the cake design for a public school crossing guard. She made it happened. She crushed it. Red velvet cake moist and delicious. I highly recommend utilizing Sylvia she worth every penny.

The chocolate chip ones were small yet classic, hitting that perfect balance - not too hard, with a slightly toasted bottom and a soft, gooey inside! The red velvet cookies were thinner than expected, lacking a bit of structure but making up for it in taste. I could easily eat 10 of these before getting that hot feeling from my blood sugar rising. They almost resembled a cake cookie, and the red velvet flavor was pretty spot on. I like that little chocolate chip pieces were mixed inside to add texture and a bit of chocolatey sweetness. I found myself digging in the bag for more as it was quite easy and addicting to eat. Customer service gets an A+ for being super responsive and accommodating for my schedule. Overall, a great experience for a small business starting out. I would definitely order from her again!

The bride and groom asked for carrot cake for the bottom layer and marbled cake on top. Based on the reviews and pictures left on her Yelp page, I was very eager to see the final product and was thrilled when I finally met with her on the day we scheduled for pickup. The cake was perfect and almost an exact replica of picture I had sent her from Pinterest. "Almost" because her cake looked better! It was apparent that Risa took her time to delicately put it together and that baking is a passion for her. She also built a custom box for me to transport it; secured very carefully and thoroughly. Skipping to the wedding reception, it was even more of a surprise when we tasted the cake... especially the carrot cake. Many people (myself included) said it was the best they've ever tasted! Risa guarantees that, "every dessert will... be fresh and delicious" as well as, "visually pleasing in every way". My experience attests to that!

I ordered a large Sunset Beach shave ice.  Ice was incredibly fluffy and soaked up the syrup so it didn't drain to the bottom.  Flavors were passion orange, mango, and guava.  It was fruity and delicious.  My favorite shave ice in town. 2nd visit I tried the Citrus Squeeze which consisted of lime, pink lemonade, and lemon.  Once again I was impressed by how fine and fluffy the ice was.  Lime was a blast of sour lime flavor.  Pink lemonade tasted just like a pink lemonade, and lemon was a mix of sweetness with lots of sour lemon flavor.  Great flavor combination. I discovered you can buy pints of Lappert's Hawaiian ice cream.  I bought 2 pints for $11 each. Kauai Pie consisted of rich creamy kona coffee ice cream with Hawaiian macadamia nuts, shredded and toasted coconut and dark chocolate fudge.  This ice cream was thick, rich and decadent. Vanilla bean was rich and creamy with a bold vanilla bean flavor.  One of my favorite vanilla ice creams. Staff was friendly, helpful, and efficient.  Hope they get more flavors of Lappert's ice cream as Palm Springs is where I usually have to go for Lappert's.
