I ordered vanilla cupcakes and left the colors and flower design up to Violet. Everyone at my birthday party LOVED them! The cake was moist and delicious. The colors were vivid and beautiful.

They no longer bake custom cakes. This surprised me just Well, since they state on their page that they make cakes for birthdays, weddings, and other celebrations... They took orders for cakes--or rather, you could place an order in advance. The service has become very meager. Prices High--above the level But the taste of the cake isn't the same anymore--it's not what it used to be. I am disappointed in this bakery.

The cookies themselves are ENORMOUS. They are presented very well, with packed information ("maybe stored in an alright container for up to a week: for optimal freshness and flavor, freeze ANY cookies you don't plan on eating immediately!"). I ordered a loot of cookies to share, along with peanut butter and oatmeal raisin. If you buy them in bulk you can save money. A thousand perfect recommend this place, make sure you get here early (if you can) some of their most popular cookies sell out fast. Thank you, and I look forward to my next visit.

They had quite a variety of different cookies and the staff was nice when asked questions. I tried the peanut butter and Almond Joe cookie. Both were delicious but the Almond Joe was superb! It's a combo of chocolate and nuts which give the cookie a really nice texture. It was buttery warm, soft, but also chewy. So good.

I first tried cupcakes from Black China Bakery at a wedding I attended and was impressed by how…read moredelicious they were. So when my mom's wedding was coming up, I knew exactly where to get the cupcakes from. We ordered the vegan chocolate with raspberry frosting and vegan carrot cake with cream cheese frosting, and they did not disappoint. Katelin was incredibly friendly and easy to work with. She provided options for how the cakes could be frosted to match our theme and colors, and helped to make the planning process so smooth. The cupcakes were delivered for a very reasonable rate and were a huge hit at the wedding. Everyone loved them! I highly recommend Black China Bakery for any special occasion.

The final cake was nothing short of stunning. Not only was it visually gorgeous, but every single bite was a burst of fresh, delicious berry flavor.

Her cake is somehow the perfect balance of delicious, sweet, flavorful AND magically light. I could eat so much of her cake and not feel that heavy sugar feeling. My guess is it's her natural ingredients, years of experience and extra touch of passion that make it so perfect. The cake she made for our wedding was absolute perfection. She nailed the "naked" cake look I wanted, was able to create a beautiful 3 tiered cake and even last minute shifted the middle layer to a GF carrot. The cake went quickly and we got so many comments from our guests saying how delicious it was. Would recommend her cake for any event and I personally hope to try every flavor! Thank you Chefany
