She and her team were a pleasure to work with! The consultation to choose your flavors and menu for your event was so much fun and obviously delicious. We gave her a general idea of what we were thinking for our cake and the finished product was even more gorgeous than we imagined! We had several guests mention that it was the best wedding cake they had ever had, which I absolutely agree with! While all of the flavors are amazing, the cookie dough frosting is absolutely to die for!

I don't live in Ojai but would be there for a week for my gf's birthday and the only thing she asked for was a cake. I had *no* idea how I was going to surprise her with a cake, but Ixy not only helped me plan but delivered and followed up on how things went! We messaged back and forth via IG and then texting and she couldn't have been more patient, accommodating and helpful to keep the surprise a secret. In fact, it took a small team of some incredibly kind women to help pull this all off and I'll never forget that. I'll definitely have to get more goodies from Bloom next time I'm in Ojai- such an amazing experience!!

Ali at Sugar Lab Bake Shop was such a wonderful part of my daughter's wedding yesterday. From the…read morevery beginning, she was warm, kind, and genuinely lovely to work with -- exactly the kind of person you hope to have around during such an important event. She created the most beautiful three-tier cake for us with delicate pearl details and softly textured rustic tiers that fit the wedding perfectly. It looked stunning, but what everyone kept talking about was how good it tasted. We chose different flavor combinations for each tier, and every single one was incredibly moist, flavorful, and delicious. For anyone debating between a cake and a dessert table, Ali does both beautifully -- but there's something so special about having a gorgeous cake as part of the celebration. Ours became such a focal point of the reception, and the cake cutting ended up being one of the sweetest, most heartfelt moments of the evening. I'm so glad we chose to include one. Ali also handled delivery and placement flawlessly, which made the whole process feel easy and stress-free. We couldn't have been happier with our choice and are so grateful for the care and talent she brought to the day.

Jess was great to work with and made an absolutely beautiful 50th anniversary cake for a party. We…read moreordered a 8 inch round cake and a half sheet for about 100 people. The cakes were supposed to serve 70 people or so. We ended up having quite a lot of cake left- the entire round cake and maybe an eighth or so of the sheet cake. The round cake was pretty hard to cut due to the height so I think we should have had the venue slice this first - sheet cake was a lot easier to pack back up and transport. That sort of made me wonder if I should have even ordered a round cake but it was definitely stunning and added a lot in terms of aesthetics and looked great in pictures. Jess was great to work with and did a great job checking in when needed. I ended up sending her a design for the round cake and she made something really lovely. She also found some gorgeous real flowers for the cake and sent me all the different options so I knew what to choose from. She even ended up adding some details to the sheet cake even though these are often left plain just for serving. We had discussed not wanting the cake to be too sweet and I think it was probably a bit too sweet still for myself and most guests. The actual cake itself was perfect in terms of texture and also flavor and sweetness and was so much better than most if not all cakes I have had. However the buttercream texture wasn't my favorite and I found it to be a bit sweeter than expected. I also wanted there to be a lot more triple berry butter cream/berry flavor. Some of the issue was also deciding to add a white chocolate layer (our suggestion so definitely on us) which didn't help the texture or flavor. Ultimately a solid cake and the vanilla bean cake itself was pretty spectacular. If I order again in the future, I would just discuss ways to make the outside buttercream less intense and find ways to incorporate more of the fruit flavors of the berry buttercream filling. A bunch of guests did ask me about the cake and say they enjoyed it so that was good. I did shop around a small amount and the prices were competitive. I had a very positive experience overall. The cakes were also easy to pick up and well packaged - if you have some kind of large flat surface like a foldable seat or back of an SUV you should be good. I would definitely order again for a party but probably would opt for even fewer portions and would make those notes about the flavors.

Where do I start? I'm somewhat particularly, meaning for a recent custom birthday cake I wanted…read moredone for someone I drafted a 2 page spec sheet that included significant detail and inspirational images, which was based on the Pixar movie Inside Out. I put it out to about a dozen custom cake bakers in the LA area who all have healthy IG followers. Of the responses that I received, Josel's stood out head and shoulders above all others for multiple reasons: 1. Josel was the only baker who wanted to ensure she fully understood what I was looking for and she actually provided me with a drawing/rendering of what I had in mind to confirm I was getting what I wanted - this was before I even made the decision to use her 2. I knew I was communicating directly with the owner/person who would be executing my vision - not the case with many others 3. Josel was still the most competive quote among all others, even though I could tell from what I saw on her IG account that her quality was better than most. Once I made the decision to use Josel, the experience only got better. It became clear that she really has a love and passion for what she does that surpasses this being a business for her. She touched base with me multiple times and scheduled to meet me several days before making the cake to pick up some of the custom elements that were needed for it. The morning of the day I needed it, she sent me photos and delivered it directly to the restaurant where it would be served, ensuring they would take great care of it. The photos of the cake speak for themself - it exceeded my expectations and the "birthday boy" was absolutely speechless over it. I've used multiple custom bakers over the years and my experience with Josel was the best I have ever had.
