We were planning for a last minute event and frantically started searching Yelp for someone who could bake us a custom cake with just a few days notice. Reached out to Shruthi, who was very responsive from the get go. She was able to accommodate our design and provide suggestions as well. She helped us with a cake and cake pops and also helped get it delivered. The cake looked beautiful and unlike other custom cakes we had ordered in the past (where the look compromised the taste), this one was equally yummy. The kids at the event also liked the cake pops. Overall we are really happy with the cake and service. Definitely recommend Shruthi :) read more

Shruthi did a great job with bday cake for our son's 1st year birthday. Since it was his 1st yr bday we wanted everything to be perfect. Shruthi was quick to respond with a sketch that looked really nice. When we picked up the cake it looked just like the original sketch she had sent us. It was packed nicely too to help sign transportation. The cake not only looked amazing but it was absolutely delicious!! Overall we were extremely happy working with Shruthi, starting with original conversation about cake details it was extremely stress free and easy to work with, the aesthetics and cake presentation and the accuracy of what was promised to us and the taste and the timeliness on the delivery of cake! read more

Ordered a cake with "First trip around sun" theme for my son's birthday. Our regular baker was out of town and we chose the rolling pin. The Rolling Pin Baker was nice while taking the order. My wife gave all the requirements needed for the cake. It was all good until that point. After picking up cake, on our way back to home the astronaut piece on the cake fell off. Baker immediately started finding ways to find fault with us. We did explain the issue and she did fix in 10 minutes. Overall if you are looking for very simple cake design rolling pin probably will do decent job but for a complex design you are better off choosing another professional baker. The finishing on the cake was definitely not what you get for the price you pay. The decorative pieces on the cake were not properly attached and were stuck with tooth picks. Taste: 2.5/5 Finish/decorative pieces on cake: 1/5 read more

Shruthi is an amazing culinary artist and I was so happy to find her. She accommodated my request in a weeks' notice and did a fabulous job. She requests 3 photos of the design you'd like in her portal for design requests. She told me which one would be most feasible within short notice and my partner's birthday wouldn't have been the same without her help. She really made me look cool. If you are also wanting to look cool by bringing it with an absolutely fantastic piece of artwork as a cake, book her today! Check out these pics too. In love!!!! read more

I had a very unconventional theme for a birthday cake. The Rolling Pin gladly stepped up to the challenge! The cake turned out amazing- simple, clean, professional- and extremely tasty! I especially like the flowers on the cake as they resembled real live flowers. Lastly, the cake was delivered on schedule within the expected time frame (between 330pm -4pm). Pros -she helped designed the cake - communicative (received a response within 20mins) -professional -high quality workmanship and ingredients -exceptional customer service -the cake not only looks good but tastes great as well. -Pricing is good considering the quality ( and peace of mind ). It was well worth it. :) -smoothe transaction Cons -NONE imo because she helped me from start to finish.

Shruthi is an exceptional baker! She custom made a 30th birthday cake and had the best recommendations on color to the flavor of the cake, filling and frosting. I trusted her with the choices and wanted a certain design since it was for my husbands birthday who's a musician by passion. Shruthi was also very accommodating in accepting my cake order just 5 days prior to the event and communicating throughout for any questions I had. The order was vanilla cake with buttercream frosting and chocolate hazelnut cream filling. The cake had two extra customizations which were completely edible and delicious!! Every single friend had many compliments on the cake and this made our evening extra special. Highly recommend. read more

We had Shruthi do our custom baby shower (Sprinkle, actually) cake. I sent her a photo of my inspiration pick from Pinterest and she promptly sent me a quote. I really appreciated the efficiency and professionalism from the very beginning. I had contacted others and it took them weeks to get back to me. Payment was all done online and was super easy. Pickup was arranged and my friend was able to pick up the cake with no issues. Our guests complimented how cute the cake was and they loved the taste and texture of the cake. I would definitely recommend them to all my friends! Thank you so much, the cake tied everything together beautifully! read more

This cake for my son's birthday was amazing. We got one layer of chocolate with hazelnut and the other with strawberry panna cotta. Both were amazing. If you were wondering about the quality, just look at it . It was perfect. We only had a small socially distant party and I'm taking the rest to very happy co workers. ( I work in a hospital). My Best friends daughter hates cake, all cake. So I ordered some macaroons and they were so good and she ate so many of them. Absolutely will be using her again! Such talent. read more

Shruthi is amazing to work with. She was prompt with her responses and ensured that we get each detail that we asked for. The cake with winnie the pooh and friends looked absolutely amazing and it definitely grabbed the right attention. We asked for a very unlikely character- a giraffe on a winnie the pooh themed cake and Shruthi happily obliged. The mango cream was amazing and the cake wasn't too sweet which we really liked. It was a bit dry but the cuteness of the cake overshadowed that. read more

I got in touch with Shruthi at the very last minute for our daughters first Bday unicorn cake. She made the main cake and also the smash cake. I shared a few images with her for inspiration. We're from New York City and have usually worked with bakers from there [personal bias - NYC bakers are just more experienced and deliver a completely different product than the Bay Area bakers]. Shruthi exceeded all our expectations. Not only did the cake look artisan quality but it also tasted amazing! Would def. recommend her. Dont hesitate! Shes a gem! read more

The rolling pin made a cake for my son's 1st birthday party and it was the highlight of the party, after my son :) we were looking for a safari/animal themed cake with all the bells and whistles. Shruthi delivered, and how! The detailing was fantastic and the cake tasted amazing. We got a vanilla cake with Dark chocolate frosting and mango (mousse) filling. Highly recommend this combination because it had the right amount of sweetness. We ordered a cake that serves 35 people but we only had 22 people at the party. Looks like that didn't matter because, at the end of the party, there were only a couple of slices left! Shruthi was very easy to talk to and she made sure all my requests were accommodated. Definitely going back! read more

The cake was moist with right amount of sugar. It was the perfect chocolate cake . I would definitely recommend my friends this place. Thank you Shruthi for an amazing work. Best wishes read more

Shruthi is our special occasion baker. I have been a repeat and a happy customer for the past 3 years . She is a phenomenal artist and her cakes look and tasty great! Highly recommend The Rolling Pin. read more

The aesthetics are okay, but don't expect those that you see in TV shows or advertisement. The owner/baker is nice. The flavors...uhm, that's what led me to this rating plus the overpriced items which I agreed to pay because of time crunch. I bought my own decor items because my daughter wanted some gold butterflies, and she lost the package - insisted I didn't put them in the bag . I let it go as I didn't want to spoil the birthday by dwelling on this issue, plus she said she can create the edible butterflies anyway..and she did create "one" small one. The cakes were all dry (ordered 3) and the fillings were okay but I wouldn't say they're delicious. Perhaps the cakes weren't good because she only had like 5 days to make them? Just giving her benefit of the doubt. So...in summary, thumbs up to her attitude (except for the butterfly issue), thumbs down to the cakes. read more

As with all things COVID, our wedding was nothing but unpredictable -- and with 2 weeks notice, Shruthi was so easy to work with and created the most stunning cake we could have imagined. When we first reached out, she was quick to respond and helped us understand the various pros and cons of going with different fillings and frosting options. We ended up going with a 2-tier white cake with mango mousse filling + a small layer of white chocolate and buttercream frosting for the outside. On the day of our ceremony, the cake was so good our photographer had to kindly stop us from devouring it right then and there! The flavors were spot on, the sweetness was perfect, and the design was so elegant - we couldn't have been happier with Shruthi's workmanship! If you ever need a cake (especially custom cakes), Shruthi is exactly who you need to speak to - her talent and pure passion for cakes shine through in each and every bite. Thank you Shruthi! read more

They got my cake done in time, looking just like the image I'd shown them, and everyone said it was delicious. My only complaint is that it is very expensive $$$ A 15-person custom cake was $110. If I'd known that ahead of time I probably would've gone with a different bakery or just gotten a store bought cake and done the icing myself. But I got around contacting them late (there was only 5 days before my party) and by the time I got a quote back from them it was kind of too late. If you don't mind high prices, this plate is quite good. I'd probably go with them to do more complicated things (such as pictured) and not just cakes that have custom writing on them. read more

Beautiful and delicious cake for our mother's 70th birthday!

Shruthi is very responsive, has a great design eye, and makes beautiful, tasty cakes! She was the easiest vendor to work with for a large birthday party I recently planned. Based on a few inspirational images I sent her, she crafted a great Nintendo Super Mario design (with a mock that she emails you in advance!) that captured my boys' individual interests by including their favorite Pokemon characters. The two cakes she made were the hit of the party and tasted super yummy also. I especially appreciated how fast, responsive and communicative she was. I will definitely use her for future fancy cakes! read more

Ordered a custom cake for my son. The theme was fire truck. The cake was well designed and matched the sample that I had given. We went with vanilla cake, hazelnut filling and milk chocolate decadent as per Shruthi's recommendation. The cake had at least 4 layers of filling. The vanilla cake was the best I've had! The chocolate decadent was amazing too. The cake wasn't too sweet which made it more enjoyable. The ordering process was smooth and was ready on time. read more

We got a custom cake made for my son's 5th birthday. It was a chase scene from a YouTube video "Sergent Cooper". Although I contacted Shruthi less than 2 weeks prior to my party, she was able to accommodate me and work with me. I ordered vanilla cake with strawberry filling. Everyone loved it and the common complement I heard was how it was just the right amount of sweetness! The workmanship on the cake was great! It was a wonderful to see my little one's excitement over this surprise! What I loved about working with Shruthi was her responsiveness, open communication and the passion for her work! She even delivers the cake. I highly recommend meeting with her for cake design and tasting.
