I can't say enough about the incredible custom cake made for my birthday! From the moment I saw it, I was blown away--it was an absolute masterpiece, designed to look like my favorite spicy margarita. Every little detail was spot on, from the lime garnish to the salt-rim effect. It wasn't just a cake; it was a work of art! But the real magic? The taste. The cake was incredibly moist, perfectly balanced in flavor, and had just the right amount of sweetness like a true red velvet cake should. Every bite was pure bliss, with layers that melted in my mouth. It was the kind of cake that had everyone at the party talking, not just about how stunning it looked, but how delicious it was. If you're looking for a baker who can bring your vision to life AND deliver on taste, this is it. I'll definitely be ordering again for future celebrations! New review! I am writing a second review because one doesn't do her talent justice. For my birthday, she created the most incredible spicy margarita cake -- it looked so real, people thought I was at a restaurant and asked where to get that giant drink! Then we cut into it and found a red velvet interior resembling a watermelon, nodding to my other passion--playful, unexpected, and absolutely genius. Beyond stunning, it was rich, moist, and delicious. If you can dream it, she'll turn it into cake -- true next-level creativity. read more

Amanda is very professional all throughout the transaction/conversation. She gave me an expert opinion on the cake/colors I wanted and has shown me genuine concern as to what the flavor of the cake the celebrant prefers. The design is superb, detailed and unique. The price is VERY REASONABLE. And the taste of the cake-it's not your regular cake shop. It is not too sweet and is just moistened enough. It's better than any other cakeshop I've tried. I wouldn't be surprised if anytime soon she'll take over the cake world! read more

Amanda was so helpful and professional and the cake turned out perfect! I sent her a video of a cake my wife liked and asked her if she could make something like that. Not only was she able to meet my somewhat short timeline, but she make a cake even more beautiful than the one I showed her. The attention to detail was impeccable and the overall look of the cake was spot on. My wife absolutely loved it and don't even get me started on the taste! It was a delicious buttercream cake with strawberry filling and a hint of cinnamon that kind of reminded me of carrot cake. It was so delicious and so beautiful! I would absolutely recommend Amanda and the Pin-up Kitchen to anyone looking for a beautiful tasty custom cake. read more

Ordered a cake from Amanda and everything was good up until the week of the pick up date. There was no communication on her end, so I reached out to confirm the order and pick up. I even called her because the day before pick up, she was not in any communication. The cake was a disaster, it did not survive a 20 minute car ride. It was a 2 layer cake and the top layer started sliding and collapsed. This was my sons first birthday so I was frantic. When I reached out to her with a photo, she said, 'oh this can be fixed with some buttercream' ?!??????!!! Am I baker? Do I know how to do this? NOT AT ALL. When I reached out to her after the party, she blamed the transportation for the cake not getting there in one piece. I've never heard a cake doing this while someone is holding onto it in a car. Never offered any compensation or even another cake so that my son could have his proper first birthday. All she could say was, I worked hard on it too and this upsets me too. OKAYYYYY, that's a $400 response. I love supporting small businesses. But look at the customer service and professionalism. This was a definitely a mistake. read more

I had big dreams for my wedding. I wanted a 1920's Great Gatsby wedding and I had everything planned to the T. One of the easiest and best experiences I had with a vendor was with The Pin-Up Kitchen. From the start Amanda was quick to reply, very thorough and very nice. I spoke to her for the first time in 2019 when I started planning my wedding. We set a date for 2020 and unfortunately, Covid restrictions forced us to postpone and Amanda made sure that a year from then, we would be taken care of. At the time when I was to book the cake sampling appointment, I got Covid. Amanda went out of her way, made the 5 samples, portioned them in beautiful mason jars and allowed for my assistant to pick them up from her. It was very difficult to choose which one we wanted because all of them were delicious. It took us days to decide, sampling a little bit each day until we made a decision. We went with the lemon cake with the lemon filling and boy are we glad we did. It was a hit. On the day of the wedding upon seeing the cake, everybody was in awe at how majestic and beautiful it came out. 4 tiers of pure gorgeousness and the tastiest cake ever. People were literally going back for 2nds and 3rd's. I made sure to save the top tier for my husband and I to share on our first wedding anniversary. The cake was in the freezer for most of that year until we purchased a home in another state. There were many discussions on how we would get it there. We decided to keep in it a cooler with dry ice and it withstood not only the test of time, but a 32-hour drive to Texas in the summer. On October 30, we finally got to eat our anniversary piece and it was just as delicious as the day of our wedding. Just as pretty too. Amanda was a joy to work with. She knew her assignment and she truly knocked it out of the park. I highly, HIGHLY recommend hiring her for ALL your custom cake needs. read more

We've worked with Amanda on at least 3 different occasions, she is ALWAYS professional, courteous and explains everything in great detail. Also makes sure to ask all of the correct questions to ensure that your cake is everything you ask for. I am probably one of the most annoying clients who has 10,000 questions/requests/needs and clarity. Amanda has never made me feel like my questions are dumb or that I should already know the answer. She takes the time to make sure we are both on the same page and know what the next steps are, when I should expect to hear from her, etc. I appreciate the time and commitment that Amanda not only has to her business but to her clients. Whenever I need a cake, she is always my first call. If you are planning an event or even a small gathering, make sure to book well in advance as her amazing skills are extremely sought after! You can NEVER go wrong ordering from The Pin-up Kitchen! read more

Highly recommend The Pin-Up Kitchen for all your cake needs. Excellent work and very open communication. You will not be disappointed!

The birthday cake is the centerpiece of any party and what a gorgeous 3D lightning McQueen cake Amanda made! I called her up just roughly a month before the party and she was immediately able to accommodate. We talked about my choices, I sent some pictures and she delivered a cake beyond our expectations. I do admit to being a tad nervous as we got closer to the party date since our little one kept on asking about his lightning McQueen cake and I had not heard from her, but she assured me she would contact me a day before the event for pickup and indeed she did. The cake was awesome and all guests were super impressed. Won't hesitate to use The Pin-up Kitchen for my next event. read more

Had a most wonderful experience! Not only was the cake amazing but Amanda was so kind, accommodating and thoughtful. She helped me place it in my car and even provided me with a water bottle to keep the cake level while it sat strapped in my front passenger seat! My wife loved this incredible masterpiece. Did I mention that it was absolutely delicious! We had people raving over it. Not a single piece left except for the TARDIS (the British phone booth sitting on top which is totally edible by the way). My wife is trying to hold onto the TARDIS as a memory keepsake in our fridge. THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU again Amanda for helping make this birthday celebration a most memorable and outer stellar event! Would definitely ask her to create another piece de resistance in the future! Perhaps for my upcoming birthday, lol! read more

The first thing that has to be said about our cake was the taste was AMAZING. It was probably the best chocolate strawberry cake we've ever had. Wow, it was good and the rest of our experience with The Pin-up Kitchen was just as amazing. We requested a birthday cake for my daughter's 3rs birthday and we wanted a Disney Princess cake. The owner Amanda was very responsive and had great communication. She gave us different ideas and after deciding on one, she was able to customize the cake to our liking. We were even able to pick the cake up a few hours earlier than the expected time which was extremely helpful that day. The cake turned out great and our daughter loved it so much. The taste of the cake had everyone talking and asking where we got it from! It was so delicious there was barley any left and the end of the party. We will definitely reserve another cake soon! I recommend booking early because it seems spots fill fast! Excellent cake!!! read more

This is our second cake from Amanda and it was great. There was some mis-communication on my end but the cake was a HUGE hit! I had asked Amanda for a 3-D cake of the car that won LeMans in 1966 - I should have said the Ken Miles GT40. I ended up with the car that technically "won" but Ken Miles had the win in the eyes of most of the race-following-fans. It made for a fun story at the party. We ended up with Bruce McLaren's car (#2 black and white) instead of Ken Miles (#1 blue and orange.) Still a great cake sculpture of a GT40. So Ken Miles lost again. :) Sorry Ken. History repeats itself. As always, Amanda's creation was great. read more

Just horrible don't use Venmo as she won't give you a refund as she ask you SPECIFICALLY TO USE FRIENDS AND FAMILY SO SHE WON'T REFUND YOU AT ALL IF YOU GIVE HER A BAD REVIEW. So unprofessional. contacted Amanda to do my wedding cake for halloween. I was really hoping my cake to be special and day of the dead themed. What I got was unexpected.... Nothing like the cake design I requested.... I'm not sure where the miscommunication happened but my cake was supposed to look like the picture attached and the only change i asked her to do is to replace the skulls and place skull animals and change the frosting colors to purple and green from the rims not the whole cake. She told me she understood what I wanted and I trusted her... well I shouldn't of cause she gave me a totally different cake! I was so disappointed that it wasn't like the design I sent her.... I wanted to cry since it was my wedding day and the cake was supposed to be perfect. I reached out to her about my dissatisfaction on the cake design and we agreed on a partial payment. It's been two days and she hasn't returned my emails about my refund... I wasn't going to leave a review because I expected her to keep her promise and refund me parcial payment but after not hearing from her for a few days I just decided to leave an honest review. It was a good tasting cake but my stomach dropped when i saw what I received... nothing like my wedding theme. Update: after Amanda saw my review. She decided not to refund me. Yelp is a platform for honest reviews. She misunderstood my idea but because of this review she said to just humiliate her and she isn't going to refund me anymore. I was not trying to humiliate her at all. There was miscommunication on her part that lead to my cake looking totally different. She told me she understood what I wanted. Also she never told me when she was going to refund me, until i received the last email and now she is refusing to refund me cause of this review... I told you that the animal skulls designs don't have to look exactly the same. Not the WHOLE CAKE! I never asked to change my cake how you designed it. I gave you a PDF detailed "Cake Design" as that is the cake I wanted but only the colored frosting to be changed and added the skull animals. Never in my email did I say to change my whole cake design. read more

Amanda was really responsive when I wanted a cake. I even changed my idea from a Vegas style cake to a Dodgers cake. She was able to take payment via Venmo which was very convenient, down payment was half of the price of the cake. There were a couple things I was disappointed about considering the photos on yelp and the Idea I had in my head. I asked for a Dodgers cake with a little glove on the top of the cake. The main thing that stuck out was the cake was very off in color. It was more a baby blue than the darker blue. This was just a little more obvious in color difference than I wanted. I am usually not that picky so that was a little disappointing. Also, I thought I was going to get a sugar sheet coating (it was in the photo I sent her), but I got one with icing instead. I just wish these things were gone over before moving forward with the price of the cake, because I would have paid more if that was the case. The cake was very tasteful though. I just wish this these were gone over as they were pretty major things for me, especially if you are paying a lot of money for a cake. read more
