    Inspiration

    Firstly the engagement process was great and positive experience we had , baker was very prompt in responses, made suggestions , accommodated our needs(eggless) , we were looking for zootopia themed cake for my kids Bday and connected , Baker suggested the cake as shown in inspiration photo below . However what was delivered to us was not professionally done , it was not finished well n Cake was titling on one side , It was embarrassing for us to serve this to our guests n was not appealing to kids , On hindsight I wish we didnt order custom cake but given cake inspiration came from baker thought Cake will be close to inspiration.. we paid $250 for this and it's not worth it at all.. Cake was supposed to be delivered but that option was changed last minute and so had to collect it.. We kept on asking for pictures as cake was made to ascertain if we needed a backup option for party but that didn't happen n was shocked to see the end product..I wish we didn't serve this cake at all n used some store bought cake , Taste was not that bad but it was hard to cut n serve the cake ..

    Found this place on a whim and took the chance that they'd be able to make my friends birthday cake happen on a fairly last minute notice. And sure heck they made it work with two days to count till showtime! The cake was as accurate as it could be to what i showed them and the birthday girl couldn't have been more happier, she nearly teared up with how pretty the cake was so much she wanted to keep it as display rather than eat it. Easy local pickup and kept me updated as the cake was in process and what to do. Friendly service with just a down payment of half the items total cost. We got an 8" custom cake and it was only $120. (it had quite the decorations on it too. I thought it was a pretty good price) Strawberry flavored, her and her kids destroyed the cake before i even got a chance to try it. Considering her kids kept eating it behind her back, id say it should explain how good the bread must've been. May just have to order a cake for myself next time just to try it! Thank you and biggest compliments to the baker too as they really did tie our birthday girls night together with this project..You have no idea how grateful our hearts are to these guys.

    I really don't like doing this... but I've given the "owner" of this business plenty of time to make this right by my daughter and refund her money. They refused. Below are pictures of the cake she got for over $80. The cake was made and picked up in an apartment complex. As you can see... it looks like a child quickly decorated it. They tried to blame me that the car was hot and it melted. First of all, if that were the case... maybe the chunks of butter in the butter cream in the center of the cake would have melted as well. It did not. The cake was inedible and was not even presented at her shower because it was a true embarrassment. When looking for a cake... even as simple as this one was... go elsewhere. It's not worth your time or money. As a result of not using good customer service skills and refunding my daughter... this business is being reported to the BBB.

    So I don't usually do reviews but after my experience, I had to. So a couple of my bakers had backed out last minute or they just were bad with responding. I finally found Mera, which she responded in like 10 mins! I was like a few days out from my little girls bday party and she was really responsive and made sure My order is exactly what I needed. Finally, the presentation of the cake was amazing and how it was properly boxed, I didn't stop their but ordered some cupcakes as well. So if you are looking for some custom cakes highly recommend you just reach out to her and see what she has to offer! It's not easy finding people like Mera! I will definitely reach out to my Military community about her!

    Our inspiration photo

    I hate having to write this review, but once u received horrible customer service I knew I had to. I asked for a retro style cake (photo attached) for our wedding shower. The cake was picked up by my mom the day before who said it was cute! (she had never seen the inspiration photo). She lives 15 minutes away from the bakery, transferred the cake in the AC and put it in the fridge. When I saw the cake the next day, I was honestly livid. I paid 70 dollars for a cake to look NOTHING like the photo. frosting wasn't blended, it was random shades of blue. The cake was extreme tall, not the size of the photo I requested. She used wet candy cherries, so the juice had leaked all over the top. The list goes on. When I asked for a refund, she blamed me and said all that damage happened on MY watch (as if I did the horrible blue frosting job, height of the cake, the cherries etc). Our local grocery store rushed to make a cake that was SPOT on to our inspiration photo! At half the cost. My family couldn't believe what I had to pay for with this cake. Currently disputing with my bank And reporting this business at the BBB.

    Chocolate mousse cake

    The cake was Perfect I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed this cake, it was the perfect combination of creamy chocolate mouse and cake, and the creamy whipped cream on top really makes the whole cake come together Thank you so much for this delicious cake

    Trash Truck Birthday Cake

    My son's first birthday cake turned out AMAZING! It was super cute and adorable. The cake was perfectly replicated from the show "Trash Truck" on Netflix and they truly knocked it out of the park as you can see in the pics!! Our guests loved the cake and most importantly it tasted delicious! I can only imagine how hard it was to make a cake look like a Trash truck but they did it! Bottom line -- You can't go wrong ordering cake from the aptly named "Cake Master"

    Look no further if you want a really delicious cake! Our whole family agreed that Lana's cake is…read morethe best one we've ever tasted. I think it's bc her ingredients are simple and fresh or maybe it's the love, but she can bake! We had a cake made for our daughter's 30th and we sent a design which Lana did beautifully. At first we thought the outside icing was fondant bc it was so perfect but we got a happy surprise with the realization that it was yummy white icing! We got a vanilla cake with chocolate frosting inside. The cake was fabulous and the frosting was unreal. It's a buttercream frosting but she added a bit of salt to it, which made it so delicious. The ordering process was super easy and she even delivered it to our house for a small fee. Even the cake box was good, nice and sturdy but with a window to see what's inside. Lana has created a very high quality product and high quality customer service but for a reasonable price. We can't wait until the next special occasion so we can order another one! Thank you, Lana!

Guests got a huge kick out of these cookies, and they went like wildfire! In addition, they are as delicious as they are charming. I was at a follow-up event several days later, and I had a guest come up to me to commend me on the party. Of all the things that I did...the taco bar, the margarita stand, the donut tower...none of that was mentioned. Out of EVERYTHING...this guest approached me and told me how delicious that cookie was! Tara gave my daughter a special box to savor, and I'm hoping she'll share because they all went so fast that I never got to try one. Tara is professional, and helpful, and went out of her way to make sure the cookies were perfect. Tara, expect to hear from me in the future. Your cookies were the hit of the event. THANK YOU!

Her menu selection was great! We ended up going with Cheesecake - Classic & Oreo Mini Trifles - Strawberry Shortcake & Tiramisu Creme Brûlée - Vanilla Tarlets - Seasonal Fruit Sadly, we didn't get to taste them BUT our guests couldn't stop talking about them. Not one single bad comment. Alissa was very easy to communicate with. She was able to delivery the desserts to our venue at a low fee.

She was very quick to respond, which is highly appreciated, especially for a 3 week notice. I sent her a bunch of inspo pics, color schemes, a request for my mom's name somewhere and to incorporate butterflies (my mom's fav), and # of people that will be at the party. There was even an option to have printed images on the cakes! Initially, I asked for it but apparently there were issues with the printer. But honestly, I LOVE the way it came out without it! The mascarpone was lightly sweet and fluffy, cookie/tart cake was the perfect texture, and we loved all the little details! My only Very minor critique is that the little pink geo heart cakes had a very thin coat so it was showing a bit of the chocolate underneath. But no biggie! Otherwise, the cake was an absolute hit and my mom was speechless when she saw it!! Also, it was the perfect amount for ~30 people. Big thank you to Alissa and team! Will definitely order again! Note: They do offer delivery -- I believe the pricing is dependent on your location.

We would definitely recommend! We had ~70 people and chose the 3 tier cake (4-6-8") w/ passionfruit in 2 layers and citrus olive oil cake with raspberry jam in the middle layer. The cake was beautiful--it had flowers made from icing which were stunning--and tasted great. We also had 4 desserts: the matcha cheesecake bites, mini fruit tarts, dark chocolate mini cupcakes, and Peggy also made some pineapple cakes for us custom that were fantastic.

If you want a delicious cake, one that tastes fresh, flavorful, and fluffly - hire Peggy. If you want a dessert table with variety treats for the guests that are both gorgeously decorated and tasty - hire Peggy. Peggy was hands down the most responsible, talented, responsive cake designer/baker I would ever asked for. From the moment we connected she was so communicated about her price, style, and cake flavor. She customized our cake based on our wedding theme and designed a dessert table that was within our budget and fit our venue perfectly. Not only that, but her cakes were SOOOOOOOO delicious - she has so many wedding cake flavors to choose from - Vanilla bean cake (with mix berries), Black Forest, butter, almond, and olive oil. When we did our cake tasting we had so much trouble choosing a flavor because they were ALL SO GOOD. All of them had layers of taste that burst in our taste buds. Peggy's cakes really felt more like a high-end bakery place rather than wedding cake. My husband and I are actually thinking about ordering different flavors for our anniversary... Also Peggy's cakes are BEAUTIFUL. this is not just some flowers placed on a white cake. This is cake designing at its best. Her instagram will show you how beautiful her cakes are. But most important - Peggy worked with our theme and venue to design the cake. The result was a cake that served as a centerpiece itself. We also order small desserts from Peggy along with our wedding cake. Let's just say that the desserts were gone within 10 mins. If we had known how much our guests enjoyed the desserts, we probably would have ordered more. All we could hear after the wedding from friends and family was how much they loved the desserts, especially "OMG THE MATCHA CAKE BITES" from multiple guests! We cannot recommend Peggy more - have no doubt that Peggy WILL DELIVER your dream cake!!
