We've been ordering from Z&H Cakes for a couple of years now for all kinds of occasions, and every single time Farzi, who is both the owner and the creative mind behind these masterpieces, manages to surprise us in the best way. Her attention to detail, her creativity, and the love she puts into every design really show. She always goes above and beyond, and one thing we appreciate so much is that she includes a smash cake for our son with every order. It's such a thoughtful touch, and he absolutely loves it. Farzi has never disappointed us. Every cake has been a work of art and a highlight of our celebrations. I'm attaching a couple of the cakes she's made for us so you can see the magic for yourself. If you're looking for someone who truly cares about her craft and her customers, Z&H Cakes is the place. read more

First cake: This was the first cake Z&H Cakes made for our son's adoption celebration, and it was by far the most beautiful cake he has ever had. It was a chocolate cake--moist, with delicious and creamy buttercream--and best of all, it was not overly sweet. We didn't even ask for it to be less sweet, so we were delightfully surprised that it wasn't overwhelmingly sugary. It had the level of sweetness you find in Japanese cakes, which I love. Our sons loved this cake so much that we now plan to order all of our special-occasion cakes from Z&H Cakes. Our youngest wants a construction-truck cake for his third birthday, and we're excited to see how it will turn out. We love everything about this cake and appreciate Z&H Cakes for their attention to detail. Second order: This is the second time we have ordered from Z&H Cakes, and they did not disappoint. We ordered cupcakes for the Rainbow Community Center of Contra Costa County's Grand Re-Inauguration Ceremony, and they were a big hit. People loved how beautiful they looked, but even more importantly, they loved how delicious the cupcakes tasted. They had just the perfect amount of sweetness and were enjoyed by everyone. Thank you for helping make our event so special with these beautifully delicious cupcakes. read more

So this is essentially a small business that Farzi, the owner and cake maker runs from her home in Pittsburg, CA. After researching custom cakes online for my 1 year old niece and Godchild's birthday party, I settled on Z&H Cakes. I called and Farzi took my order. She was very professional and it helped that I looked ahead of time at things she had done previously to describe for her what I wanted. The birthday theme was unicorn and I saw she did amazing unicorn cakes before. After getting my order in and paying for it via phone, I immediately received an online emailed invoice. Farzi was very communicative via text and I always felt like she was on it. The day of, I picked up the cake and it was beyond amazing! I got nonstop compliments on how marvelous the cake LOOKED, they almost didn't want to eat it! Luckily it tasted great and everyone was happy! Even the smash cake turned out fantastic! I can't say enough great things about my personal experience. I was so nervous about the cake before I picked it up, but going forward I will absolutely be using her as well as recommending Z&H Cakes for any custom cake needs to all my friends, family and coworkers! This cake was legit!!! read more

I found Farzi about 3 years ago, here on Yelp. This woman will go beyond to execute your dream cake to a fairytale reality. She's made my son's 3rd and 4th birthday cake, my sister in law's 30th and my mum's 50th cake for the 3 years knowing her. With promising her I will post my review (but never followed through) but I am here now lol. My families and friends have been emotional each time I walk in with her cakes and they have never been disappointment with her creativity and flavors. My family will continue to have her make our cakes. They are beautiful and delicious! Words don't do justice guys! Farzi will even take time out of her busy schedule as a baker and mum to chat, have a laugh and is such an amazing person. Farzi on each pick up have sent me off with an extra treat just for my son too, its so cute! Farzi you are awesome. Keep up the beautiful work you do (ps, and thank you for always accepting my last min orders and late feedback lol) Will reach out again soon. EVERYONE I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER!! Much love read more

They made my Daughter's 15th birthday extra special because of the cake . Not only is the cake beautiful on the outside but I ate 3 giant slices myself. And I'm not even a cake person . We had to ride with this cake for two hours in a car and it held up the whole two hours and then it had to sit there in the house for two hours before we sang happy birthday. If you want an award-winning presentation and good cake this is the lady to go to she will have everyone asking where did you get that cake or from who or who brought the cake. If you're trying to make a good impression at work for a loved one or maybe someone that you want to be a loved one LOL. Like I said before in my other post the customer service was great beyond great and it was the same thing when we picked it up. This woman that makes the cake is a special woman I got to know her over the past few days and not only does she build these awesome cakes but she's an awesome human inside I wish nothing but the world for her and her family. I swear i just pic her out of Yelp by looking at the cakes but i got a lot more then just a cake from her . Maybe god Continuing on blessing you with cakes in life . Farzana (the cake lady) Thank you Auggie Rodriguez read more

Loved the service with here with an Z&H Cakes. They were very attentive and responded very quickly to any questions. The cake came out exactly how my niece wanted. We ordered a four tiered cake for approximately 200 guest. Marble flavor of both vanilla and chocolate. The cake was very moist and flavorful. Usually fondant from some bakerys is hard and you can taste the artificial coloring especially on black fondant, but the fondant and buttercream was very delicious. We were orginally told that our guest would come back for seconds and sure enough they did. The cake colors were perfectly matched to the theme and we were very satisfied with the result. The cake was the focal point of the candy table and brought everything together. We have more parties coming this year, so we will definitely be returning for more deliciousness. read more

First of all I want to give Farzana the highest praise and gratitude for these beautiful cakes that she has created for my sweet daughter's 1st birthday! I called Z & H CAKES 1 week before my daughter's birthday party to see if they can mimic this awesome unicorn cake picture I found online. Farzana answered when I called. I told her about my situation and the date of the party. Farzana said that it was not enough time for her and she needed at least 2 weeks notice. I said I understand and thank you very much for your time. I was about to hang up but Farzana said wait hold on I can make these cakes for you. She told me she can hear the sadness in my voice and understands that 1st birthdays are very special ones. So long story short she nailed it! I'm so grateful for Z & H Cakes. Thank you so much Farzana coming through last minute for us. The unicorn cakes and cupcakes flavors and fillings were all totally on Point! P.s. Everyone loved the cakes. All the parents asked who made them and I referred them all to Z & H Cakes and made sure to let them know make cake arrangements at least 2 weeks in advance or more. I will definitely be back for my next special occasion. I can't thank you enough Farzana. Z & H cakes totally rocks! Satisfied customer! Pele read more

Awesome cakes as always. Just enough sweetness. Designs are outstanding. My go to for specialty cakes.

I contacted Farzi in a desperate last minute attempt at having a wedding cake for my daughter's wedding that was finally decided to take place after many changes due to COVID restrictions. Farzi was gracious enough to accept making a small 40 ppl cake and my daughter sent her a picture of what she had in mind. The process was easy, fast and Farzi was fast in her responses. We originally decided to pick up the cake ourselves but the day before Farzi sweetly offered to deliver AT NO CHARGE since she had another delivery in the same direction. She then informed us that she added a third tier because the cake looked better also at no charge! The cake was AMAAAAZING! It was picture perfect and tasted delicious! I had so many compliments. I can't say enough of Farzi's kindness, excellent taste and wonderful professional craftsmanship. I know I finally found the baker I've been looking for since I came to the US 30 years ago! And now I know where to go for all my future orders. Thanks again Farzi! You're an angel with amazing skills. read more

I cannot express how thankful and lucky I was to have worked with Farzana! She managed to pull off an incredibly beautiful, impeccably executed 4 tier cake for my cousin's engagement and very last minute at that! Everything was perfect from marble/ white fondant, to the different flavored but super moist cakes and the beautiful edible flowers that were so pretty that people decided to keep them as souvenirs rather than bite into the sugary petals! My picture does the cake absolutely no justice and I will upload a much better photo, but I wanted y'all to see, that even in the most blurry picture and dimly lit setting, the cake is stunning! iA I hope to work with Faranaz again in the near future! read more

My boss recently threw me a surprise baby shower at work and got the cutest cake from Z&H Cakes. My coworkers were all raving about how good it was. Since I have gestational diabetes I was trying to resist having any, but I definitely took the leftovers home planning to freeze it for later. I gave in and ended up having a tiny piece without the frosting with dinner. The chocolate and vanilla marble cake was so good! It took a lot of willpower to put the rest into the freezer, but I absolutely can't wait until I can dig into it after I have the baby. Thanks for providing such an amazing cake!! read more
