    Andrea Bakes made two fantastic and beautiful cakes for our boys' birthday party! The cakes were beautifully decorated, they tasted delicious, they were ready on time, and they went perfectly with the party's theme.

    Nerf cake on the sweet table

    Let's just say, I'm very very thankful that I came across Andrea Bakes after my brother's baker for many years couldn't come through with my order. I was definitely stressed out about finding someone until I found Andrea Bakes here on yelp. I couldn't be any happier! I never customized and ordered a cake before. Andrea made the process very simple and easy. All I had to do was wait for the cake to come. I order a nerf cake 3 tier . Bottom: white cake with strawberry filling, middle: red velvet, top: chocolate cake with fudge filling. Most places that I inquired for the cake said they couldn't do it or too many flavor. BUT for ANDREA No questions, definitely no I can't do that for you for special requests. She doesn't take no for an answer. Overall, not only was the cake made to my order. The cake was amazing!!!!!! Everything was moist && everyone were asking for 2nds and 3rds at the party. Not only was she talented with bake goods, she was very accommodating! I wasn't able to pick up my cake since my venue changed. I asked if she can deliver and she was able to make that happen!!! BTW there's a delivery feee! Thank you so much for making my step sons cake! You're very talented and amazing!!! I can't wait for you to work on my next order!

    Salted Caramel Cake and Strawberry Cake
    Kim Y.

    I cannot express how much we loved the beautiful cakes Andrea baked for our boys' first birthday! They were super cute and delicious! The salted caramel was definitely a huge hit with all our friends and family! More importantly, Andrea was amazing to work with and showed a great attention to detail! She truly made our boys' birthday a fun and memorable one!

    Andrea is truly amazing. She made me a cake for my baby shower and I couldn't be happier. All my guest loved the cake and even asked for her info so they can use her in the future. She was super easy to communicate with and fulfilled all my picky request when it came to the exact cake I wanted. When it came to the flavor she never made a cake like the one I request but was totally up for trying to make it, I'm so glad she tried cause it was was an absolute success. I am very grateful I found her and will be using her for all my future cake needs. I will definitely be referring her to all my friends and family.

    Andrea is AWESOME! After searching near and far for a baker that could create my vision in a short amount of time I happened upon Andrea's yelp page. Andrea promptly responded, sketched out my vision for a two-tiered cake featuring a sugar bottle of Vueve Cliquot champagne. She was very responsive to inquiries. The cake was delivered in a timely manner and looked fabulous. The cake easily served 20+ people and received RAVE reviews from party guests who are still talking about how good the cake was. I look forward to recommending Andrea and using her talent for all my future events.

    Virtual Farewell Event -cake by Andrea Bakes

    If I could give more stars I would!! As we all know the pivot to virtual events has been interesting to say the least. Many of us corporate event planners are looking for innovative ways to keep engagement and morale up with teams remotely, this is a priority for many companies. I highly recommend Andrea Bakes for any occasion that calls for a fabulous custom cake or cookies. Team birthdays, work anniversaries, a virtual farewell event with a "Show Us The Cake" element where the recipient "shows off" their amazing cake to Zoom attendees then shares with household members (festive plates, napkins and other fun party props can be included in your package). She delivers locally. With the holidays upon us I'm looking forward to booking Andrea to guide my group through a cookie decorating team builder in December. Andrea Bakes is your one-stop shop for this type of virtual event. She handles all the details from A-Z.

    Andrea went above and beyond expectations with my kiddo's bday cake! I've edited out name only for privacy, but attached pix to see how fantastic she did. I asked for a Pokémon Mega Absol and what she put together was a beautiful recreation! Kiddo was so excited and made me remove the Absol from the cake so we could keep it. Andrea was super easy to work with, responded to IMs quickly and even delivered to my front door! It's so nice to have a community baker who's customer service is exceptional. The cake was a tri-layer vanilla with buttercream frosting and fresh strawberry/whipped cream filling between the layers. Everyone at the party ate every last bite and raved at the flavor. I will definitely hire her again! Thank you for making double digits bday an epic day, Andrea!

    This review was long overdue. Andrea did you my daughters birthday cake and she did a wonderful job! My daughter loves pepperoni pizza and she loved the cake!! I will be using her services again for my husbands birthday! I'm glad I found a great baker here in Alameda!

    Tsum Tsum theme custom cake by Andrea
    karrie m.

    Andrea is awesome!! I was looking for a custom Tsum Tsum Theme cake for my son's 100 days party & contacted over 10 bakery in east bay, they are either over priced or didn't answer emails until couple days!! Only Andrea answered my emails/messages within a short period of time & she charged reasonable price!! Most important is the cake she made was exactly what I want & the cake tasted really good!! My guests love the cake so much!! Thanks Andrea!!

    I am constantly amazed at how meticulously Andrea recreates any characters or requests for cakes, cookies and cupcakes. Anytime I need cohesive imagery for a personal or business event, I turn to Andrea. She can print photos/logos on cakes and cookies, as well as build 3-d sculptures. I've watched her create and keep telling her she should charge more for her perfect combination of artistry and yummy taste. I can't recommend Andrea enough. You will be a star with your team or family of you work with Andrea. Leave the details to her and put your mind to rest.

    This review is a little late but better late than never ;) Andrea did an AMAZING job with my sister's graduation cake!! My sister was extremely excited and my whole family raved about how delicious the cake was. Definitely going to book another cake for the next family event!

    Delicious Raiders Cake by Andrea Bakes

    I am very happy I found the perfect baker for me! Thank you so much for responding promptly to my order and special requests in such a short notice! The Raiders cake was perfect, so moist and delicious! Thank you, Andrea for coming to my rescue! Andrea will from now on be my to-go-to for cakes! She is such a talented baker and I highly recommend her to anyone who seeks for the best customized and delicious cakes!! You will not be disappointed!!

    Rilakkuma Custom Cake!
    Alice C.

    I wanted a custom cake for my bestie's birthday and she loves Rilakkuma. I found Andrea and she is such an awesome baker! I don't really know about baking but I'm sensitive with the taste. Andrea went step by step of how she is going to make the cake (layers, filling...) The cake overall is just awesome and come out exactly as I wanted! It served 13 people and we all loved it! Thank you Andrea!

The cake turned out beautiful and not only that - it tasted amazing. A lot of the time pretty cakes are just that - pretty. Flavor isn't always there but her cake tasted delicious too! We got the guava and at first I was worried it'd be too sweet but it was perfect with the cream cheese frosting. The number cake we got was like a piece of art - every detail was so carefully crafted. Even the little sprinkles were gorgeous! Eileen was very nice and made sure to give me instructions to make sure the cake was in tip top shape for our party. Highly recommended and can't wait to order more confections in the future!

I literally order for every major event. She does beautiful vegan and non vegan cakes (I got one for my birthday) that are customized to your preference and design. She's prompt, communicative, and reasonably priced. Eileen works in buttercream, which is a lovely change of pace from typical fondant celebration cakes. Her thai tea cupcakes are out of this world. I cannot hype her baked goods enough-- we just finished off the Valentines Day 2021 box which included incredible macarons and cupcakes with merengue accents. She even locally sources her real flower decorations! I fully intend to order from her for all of my major life events, and you should too!

I will say the cake is a little bit on the sweeter side, but it's not overly sweet and I do like the chocolate Napoleon.

There was no greeting, she barely said two words to us, and mostly responded with "mhm" and stares. Not even a simple "thank you" after we paid. It's unfortunate because good customer service is the bare minimum. Your customers are the reason your business is able to keep its doors open, and they shouldn't be made to feel like an inconvenience simply for walking in and ordering. I'd recommend taking your business elsewhere. There are plenty of Latin American bakeries where the service is much kinder, warmer, and more welcoming, and the prices are much more reasonable. We won't be coming back.

The other options will not look very enticing (or safe). I stopped in here to pick up some vegan cupcakes and was please to see the incredible number of options! Some were even gluten-free! This bakeshop had cakes for everyone! I picked up the following vegan cupcakes: -Blueberry Lavender -Red Velvet Raspberry -Earl Grey Chocolate But there were also regular red velvet, lemon and a few other vegan options as well. I would call ahead to see what feature flavors they are offering both regular and vegan. The cupcakes had great structure and crumb. They were a teeeeensy bit dry but that's what the frosting was for. All in all, every single cupcake was enjoyed to the fullest. The frosting also had great flavor too.

Street parking is the only option. Today, on a play date, I asked my daughter and friend if they wanted a cupcake - YEAH! The permanently drawn hopscotch and flowers on the sidewalk adjacent to the store was a nice touch. The two littles hopscotched their way to the front door. The hours are clearly printed on the door with adornments in the windows to be seen from the outside. Inside the store is quaint. The cupcake display is upfront with the register to the left. We were immediately greeted upon entering. We were the only group inside. At 12:30PM the display case was fairly empty, using cupcake name plates to determine if I wanted any not displayed - I did, one. The young lady behind the counter was in the middle of bringing out an oversized tub of cupcakes to fill the display as we entered. There were about 25 cupcake flavors to choose from with some being vegan including 3 additional dessert options. We each made our selection - vanilla bean, vanilla chocolate, lemon drop, Meyer lemon cream - each $4.75 and packaged individually upon request. Mobile pay, credit/debit and cash were options of payment. The cupcakes are smedium (small medium) in size. The vanilla bean frosting was enjoyed by my daughter. The cupcake itself did not taste like vanilla, more yellow cake forward and was a bit dry. The vanilla chocolate was devoured by my daughter's friend - she enjoyed. The lemon drop was lemon forward, the cupcake was moist, frosting thick. The Meyer lemon was a sweet, lemon forward cupcake, moist with a lemon curd my husband enjoyed.
