Cheryl is amazing! Been ordering from her for years. From her cakes, breads, cookies and among many other things. She is super creative. Her designs always exceeds my expectations, especially when making her Fondant Cakes and Cupcakes. My favorite cakes from When Butter Met Sugar is the **Buttercream Cakes.

Cheryl is awesome!!! We had her make 1500 cookies for our wedding (5 different types) in 2017 and boy did she deliver! We had a milk and cookie bar at the wedding and she came out and presented the tasty treats! They were a huge hit! All of our guests still talk about how much they loved the cookies and how they took a bunch home with them! Chocolate crinkle is my favorite, for sure! But don't sleep on any of the other flavors because choosing which ones we wanted was the hardest part! The cookies will also look as good as they taste! Definitely a pro at what she does! I've also had a chance to try some of her other baked goods and no matter the occasion When Butter Met Sugar is the answer to your call. You'll have all your needs and expectations met working with Cheryl! read more

For my father big 60, I decide to get a longevity theme cake. Cheryl is very accommodating and organize. She reply to emails and phone calls as soon as she can. Cake flavor: vanilla spongecake with strawberry buttercream (on the sweeter side but for someone that has a sweet tooth like myself, it's perfect!) Upon arriving at the banquet with the cake, had so many compliments from people. Definitely had "wow factor"! Min order is $250 Cash, check, or CC (+3% service fee) Other sweets include cookies, mini cupcakes, and macarons read more

Working with Cheryl was a dream. She completely nailed our concept and is a sweetheart!! She is extremely skilled in what she does and can make your dessert dreams a reality! Our theme was marble and copper and Cheryl made us a marble and copper striped Vanilla cake with Strawberry Buttercream + Lemon Curd as well as blue French Macarons with Passionfruit Buttercream and gold stripe. Since our Wedding, everyone keeps telling us that the cake and Macarons were the best they've ever had. The cake was light and just the right amount of sweetness and so were the Macarons. Thank you Cheryl for our desserts! We loved everything you did and would absolutely recommend her (When Butter Met Sugar) who wants a custom cake to die for! read more

Okay, this is not my first time ordering from Cheryl and whenever I do, I'm blown away by the quality of the things that I try. *** Assorted Holiday Cookie Box *** - Earl Grey Shortbread Cookies - Seriously freaking melt in your mouth with some earl grey fantastic. - Salted Caramel Brownie Squares - These should be illegal. Single-handedly rich and perfect salty and sweet with a caramel ribbon in the middle. Makes your face relax into all sorts of embarrassing things. *** Salted Caramel Banana Cake *** Ordered for a friend's birthday and dang it. Perfectly moist and again -- that well balanced salted caramel sauce. To die for. *** Lemon Curd Cake *** Okay - I think I'm seeing a trend here. Look, anyone can do fantastic cake (which she does). What Cheryl puts INSIDE the cake is the real secret. Her lemon curd is, again, also the perfect balance of tart and sweet. Not too much of either -- just really, really well balanced and tasty. We finally also signed Cheryl up to do an event with our non-profit, where she taught our kids how to decorate cookies and make dipped rice krispy treats. I snuck a bite of the rice krispy treats and I ended up eating nearly half the batch on my own. We made them neopolitain (strawberry and vanilla rice krispy, dipped in chocolate). Okay -- maybe it's the butter? The quality is so next level. I love it. Finally - as everyone mentioned, she's really communicative and easy to work with. Do you guys follow her instagram? Honestly, some of those designs are next level! I want a Totoro Cake. I just need an occasion! read more

It has been such a joy celebrating several milestones with cakes by cheryl. Cheryl made my wedding cake 4.5 years ago. Fast forward a few years, she made my daughter's first birthday cake. We asked her to use our wedding flavors and it tasted exactly how i remembered it. So tasty, not too sweet, and cake was moist. When I requested a totoro cake, cheryl suggested several designs and the cake turned out better than the design we picked. I'll definitely order another cake for the next milestone. read more

I had a vision of my wedding cake that it seemed no-one could make. I had almost given up when I was recommended Cheryl by my florist. She jumped at the opportunity and was quick to reply with an in-depth quote. I couldn't be any happier with the result. It exceeded my expectations. Not only did it look divine, but the carrot cake pot with vanilla frosting was dreamy. The cute little groom cookies she gave us for our rehearsal dinner were equally as glorious. I cannot recommend this talented lady enough. She is on top of your order and is always quick to respond to questions and the resulting cake is spot on. Stop looking and go with When Butter Met Sugar. You won't be disappointed. read more

Had some sweet treats from this shop last weekend at a party -- specifically, the peanut butter cup cookies, which are Reese's Peanut Butter Cups Miniatures wrapped in cookie dough and very highly addicting; the oatmeal cherry cookies; and the salted caramel brownies which were layered - I think a blondie, brownie, and caramel layer? Oh. My. God. Everything was so good. I went back for seconds, thirds, fourths... and then took some home, too. Definitely a fan, and thinking I may need to order some stuff here myself for my own parties. read more

I loved Cheryl's macarons, lemon tarts, cupcakes, and shortbread cookies! The macarons were in various pastel colors and the flavors were incredible. Her desserts are all so pretty. Also, Cheryl was very easy to work and such a lovely person. I highly recommend her for any desserts you may be in the market for! read more

For our wedding, we didn't want to go with a traditional wedding cake and was looking for an alternative. Our make-up artist actually recommended Cheryl. She was very receptive and easy to contact by phone and email and was quick to provide a link to her website which described her products and pricing. We ended choosing a total of 3 desserts. I love smores and requested a smores-themed dessert which she readily created and at no extra-charge (it was the same base price as any other mini-cupcake). We actually did not even do a tasting beforehand but Cheryl definitely came through. She gives the option of either delivering and plating the desserts herself (with a fee) vs arranging to have them picked up. We opted for the latter and my maid-of-honor helped us pick it up. Cheryl provided her with very detailed instructions and the desserts were packaged very precisely. We were particularly impressed by her attention to detail when she sent us an email stating that she had not put the raspberries on the lemon tarts because she was afraid they would get squished and therefore not be as pretty. Instead, she had packaged the raspberries separately and left instructions as to how they should be presented. The desserts were amazing. We ended up getting the lemon tart, salty caramel brownie, and our custom-made smore mini-cupcake. The mini-cupcakes were the biggest hit but many of our guests came up to tell us just how good all of the desserts were. We also really appreciated her sweet gesture of providing us a separate box of the desserts for the two of us after the wedding. Would highly recommend her desserts! read more

Thank you, Cheryl! When I asked her to make a custom 40th birthday cake for my husband this weekend, I had a vision in my head, and Cheryl did exactly as I envisioned...except it wasn't in my head, it was in delicious cake form! Not only did it look amazing, it was delicious too. Her carrot cake is so moist! Thank you so much, Cheryl! read more

What's not to love about When Butter Met Sugar! The name oozes with cuteness, but most of all their cookies and desserts are delicious! I ordered the salted caramel brownies, oatmeal cherry, macadamia cornflake, and almond cookies for a family event and can say I brought the most popular item of the night. The desserts were gone as soon as I set them down on the table. My favorite was the salted caramel brownie...wish I had some right now. You definitely need to try those if you order from When Butter Met Sugar. read more

I recently went to an event with desserts provided by "When Butter Met Sugar" and they were sooooo yummy!!! I went back to the dessert table at least 5 times!! Shhh!!

My husband and I met Cheryl at one of the wedding events in SF, she was super sweet and her cupcakes and macaroons were amazing. My friends had thrown a baby shower for me and they asked if I liked any particular bakery and I had mention When Butter Me Sugar and they surprised with with my favorite flavor, guava with white cake. It was amazingly delicious. The fondant was the perfect texture and the cake and guava filling went all well together. I ordered again from Cheryl for my sons 1st birthday. She was able to make a small 2 tier Mickey Mouse and it was chocolate cake with white icing and that didn't last long since it was soooooo good and I also ordered mini guava cupcakes and I can't remember the other flavors and Mickey Mouse Macaroons and everything was gone before the party ended. Cheryl is super nice and communicates quickly and follows through with the design my husband and I had envisions for our sons 1st birthday. :)) thank you again!!! read more

I hired When Butter Met Sugar for a large networking event I hosted for the Wedding Industry. Cheryl was so pleasant to deal with. She was professional and very interested in the event as well as our color scheme to be sure the desserts were in the right color palette for the dessert table. Her cookies are delicious! Very yummy! She is also able to make a lot of cute wedding related cookies that have cute sayings on them, like "i do", or love, etc. The macaroons are out of this world! She delivered the cookies on time and was very kind to the guests. I would highly recommend hiring When Butter Met Sugar for your next event or for your weddings or showers! read more

Hiring When Butter Met Sugar for my wedding was one of the easiest decisions I made during wedding planning. Cheryl is such a sweet person and really listened to what I wanted. I showed her a few different cakes that caught my eye and she was able to merge all 3 designs seamlessly into one cake. The cake was a showpiece and complemented the theme of my wedding perfectly. We chose guava cake as one of our flavors and were super happy we did. The cake was moist, not too sweet, and had just the right amount of tang from the guava. Our guests were scavenging for extra slices of cake because it was that good! I am so glad I chose When Butter Met Sugar for our big day. I have also tried her cookies, which are amazing as well. My absolute faves are her chocolate chip cookies and her lemon shortbread sandwich cookies! Contact Cheryl now for your next event. You won't regret it! read more

Cheryl exceeded my expectations for my delicious Star Wars elegant wedding cupcakes. She made them to look exactly how I wanted, maybe even better! Not only were the cupcakes too pretty to eat, they were moist and very tasty. I had ordered 11 dozen cupcakes comprised of 4 different flavors. I was pretty busy during the reception so I was only able to try to the guava buttercream. Wow! My husband had a chocolate buttercream cupcake and was very pleased as well. My guests absolutely loved the presentation AND the taste. Cheryl is a pleasure to work with and I definitely recommend her to make something both delicious and beautiful for your special day! Thank you, Cheryl! read more

When Butter Met Sugar is definitely my favorite local spot for cakes, cookies, and other sweet treats in the city. The amazing baker behind the name is extremely creative, passionate, and thoughtful with her product. I love how her inventiveness, presentation, and flavors all come together to create the perfect dessert. For my wedding, I met with Cheryl to do a cake tasting well in advance and was fortunate to try her Guava Chiffon, Strawberry Lemonade, and Princess Cake. It was a tough decision, but we went with the Princess. The alternating layers of moist airy cake, pastry cream, raspberry jam, and the outer decadent layer of marzipan sold us! After the wedding, I got so many compliments and was very pleased with our selection. She even personalized a special cake-topper of us! SO awesome!!! A year later, my husband special ordered a mini version of our wedding cake, and I was so surprised and happy to taste that special bite again. The decorations were so personable and the attention to detail with the signage made my heart happy . I continue to be blessed by WBMS and have made special orders for baby showers, bridal showers, and other special events. Cheryl will work with you and create that special dessert that will make your event extra memorable. Other favorites that I need to mention: macaroons, coffee crunch cake! read more
