Ibarra chocolate cake
Julio G.

This was the best birthday cake we ever had. It was really great with all the options and tasted very moist + delicious! Thank you so much.

Jay R.

To me, enjoying a delicious cake is an important part of celebrating a birthday. I came across Tu Madres Bakery in my research for a local, artisanal small-batch bakery, and was intrigued by the delicious flavor combinations on their website and glowing reviews. Booking a phone consultation and subsequently placing an order through their website was a quick and easy process. I ordered a 10" 3-layer banana cake with chocolate ganache and milk chocolate buttercream frosting. I opted for a simple design with a ganache drip. The cake looked beautiful, but more importantly tasted absolutely delicious. I'm very particular about my desserts, and prefer the depth of flavors over cloying sweetness; I'm pleased to report that the cake hit on all levels! The banana cake was delicate, moist and had a subtle spice that complemented the decadence of the dark chocolate ganache. The milk chocolate buttercream had the perfect amount of sweetness. Overall, the rich flavors melded beautifully together, and I'd rather not admit how much of this scrumptious treat I could eat in one sitting. The real icing on the cake however, was the wonderful experience of working with the owner, Sarah - who was so sweet and helpful. Thank you for making my birthday feel special. I highly recommend Tu Madres Bakery for your special occasion!

Custom beer cake!

Every time we order a cake from Tu Madres, I am blown away by her attention to detail. (I mean, just look at what they accomplished with our custom beer cake order below!) THEN we slice into it, and the flavor is consistently tasty and decadent. Her latin treats are also second to none. Best bakery in San Diego!

We've been using Tu Madres Bakery for pretty much any event that needs a tasty cake. It's a hit every single time and there's none of it left by the end of the party. The cakes taste just as good as they look. She takes the things you like and puts them into a magical and yummy creation. Our entire group of friends uses her and we all look forward to tasting her next creation. I've included a few photos from a baby shower cake she most recently made, to a gender reveal cake, and a birthday cake she had made for me back in March.

Beautiful wedding cake for about 25-30 people

So delicious!!! Seriously this cake was BOMB and beautiful. Designing it with the baker was easy and fun. Also an excellent price for a wedding/event cake. Now I need to throw events just to have reason to order these cakes :)

Birthday cake was delicious!

love Tu Madres bakery. We have had our baby showers (two of them) and kid birthday cakes done. Not only do they look great but are delicious.

2 Tier Wedding Cake: Top Tier 6" 2 Layers, Bottom Tier 8" 2 Layers. Coconut cake with coconut frosting and guava cake with lemon buttercream

I have nothing but great things to say about Tu Madres Bakery! Sarah creates stunning and delicious cakes and baked goods, and goes above and beyond for her customers! We hired Tu Madres Bakery to make our cake and items for our dessert table for our wedding reception. We ordered a small cake (One layer was coconut cake with coconut buttercream, and the other layer was guava cake with guava filling and lemon buttercream), cupcakes (guava with lemon cream cheese buttercream and coconut with milk chocolate buttercream), and mini lemon cheesecake bites. All items were delivered and Sarah set all the desserts out on our table that was already decorated with all the serving platters, cake stands, and cupcake stands. It was extremely helpful, as I was too busy hosting a reception to have the time to do that myself, so Sarah was a lifesaver! The desserts were the highlight of the wedding, and my guests are still talking about how delicious the desserts were! Sarah is so talented and was able to flawlessly create the vision that I had. If anyone is in need of a wedding cake or birthday cake, I would highly recommend getting one from Tu Madres Bakery!

Latina locally made cakes that are so yummy! Sarah has done so many events for me. The best quality and reasonably priced. She is always willing to work with your budget. My favorites are the guava and pineapple upside down cakes. You will not be disappointed!

Best bakery ever! Check out the variety of cookies. My favorites where chocolate chip and walnut. Thank you!

8" 3 layer funfetti cake with milk chocolate buttercream and unicorn cake finish

Definitely will be coming back for future cake needs. Cake was delicious, there was none left by the end since everyone kept raving about how good it was. Ordering was very simple through the website and was able to add customization package to make it fit the theme. Communication was great and cake was ready on time, Sarah helped me set it up in the car and ensured the ride home would be perfect for the cake.

Super cutesy vibe and pretty delicate desserts. Almost reminds me of Nothing Bundt Cake interior with merch, candles, gifts, flowers. Things you can pick up last minute if you're on your way to a party. They offer cheesecake, cupcake, cookies, cakes and few others. Lattes, matcha, Hojicha, teas and lemonade. I got the earl gray lavender cupcake and black sesame matcha Hojicha drink and lychee hibiscus tea drink. The cupcake was moist, not too sweet, had some grittiness to it from the seeds. Tasted the earl gray and lavender combo. It was delicious, I could have ate the entire thing but had to share the other half. There were a few tables outside but none inside.

We ordered a bunch of desserts to share at work so I got to sample a good selection. Pricing is in line with other fancy dessert places. Presentation is beautiful. Some items were to my taste, others not so much. Creme brulee cheesecake - The brulee is very slight, not enough to form a sugar top or anything. More just like a good slice of cheesecake. Cookie - This was my favorite, strong vanilla flavor from the icing, a pretty densely baked cookie. Very large, worth the $4.50 in my opinion. Carrot cake tres leches - Not for me, the cinnamon was overpowering and I would've liked to taste more of the other spices. Pandan cake - The texture is slightly different, almost bouncy like some tapioca or rice flour was used. The pandan flavor is very present; I enjoyed it, reminiscent of some Southeast Asian desserts. A bit on the sweet side. Mango cupcake - Very delicate whipped frosting, overall good but nothing standout to me Passion fruit tart - Very good. Can be a bit sweet for some, I think some of my coworkers didn't enjoy the gritty sugar in the center filling, but I thought the flavor was excellent. Coconut cake - Also not very popular among my coworkers; for me it was a little sweet but also a little one note. Not my favorite. Hojicha cheesecake - Good! Strong tea flavor which balances out the sweetness, and possibly the most unique flavor out of all the desserts. If I were to return here for something, it would be for this. Pavlova - The eggy smell is too strong. Least popular item among my coworkers. The custard inside is decent and the dessert itself is beautiful, more of an instagram dessert.

Very cute inside, with some Strawberry Shortcake theme decor. Unfortunately first impression with the service was not very good. The person seemed very unenthusiastic, didn't smile, or seem welcoming. It's possible we just went on and off day. Since we were there I did get some of the mini cupcakes to try. One was a Snickers chocolate cupcake and the other was a Strawberry Shortcake cupcake. They both tasted good, but nothing really spectacular that I would have to go back for. The Snickers one tasted basically like a regular chocolate cupcake with a miniature sneaker placed on top. The Strawberry Shortcake one had some type of strawberry crumble on top which was good. I would say that was my favorite of the two. If you come on Tuesday they are $2 for the cupcakes, so something to keep in mind. They have a variety of other desserts and even drinks as well. They have caramel apples, Sundays, different cakes, Etc. If you're already in the mall it might be worth the quick peek to see if anything appeals to you. If anything just for a few cute photo ops.

This was not our first time visiting Extraordinary Desserts, which makes this experience even more disappointing. Sadly, every time we come back, the service seems to get worse. The waiter's attitude and level of attention were unacceptable, and the overall customer service was simply not there. For a place that is supposed to be about enjoying beautiful desserts and having a nice experience, the quality of the service completely ruined our visit. Service, attention, and hospitality were all a zero.
