We were not able to taste test due to our work schedules and location, so we chose a flavor that sounded great. We chose white chocolate icing with blackberry lavender filling. We LOVED it! Our guest asked for seconds and begged for large slices! We cut our cake on a chartered yacht, and delivery was great. Our crew noted it was the most beautiful cake they have seen on board. Erin and Heather, thank you so much for being part of my day and forever part of an important memory.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!…read more Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU, Sweet Baking Co.! Where do I even begin? I'm new to town, and let's just say I have a bit of a sweet tooth. When I first arrived in Lompoc, I found a few places to grab dessert, but nothing really stood out--until I discovered Sweet Baking Co. The moment I walked in, I knew I had found my new favorite spot. While I'm living in this lovely little town, I can honestly say I'll be stopping by at least once a week! The desserts are incredible. Tiramisu cupcakes?! What?! I thought I had died and gone to heaven. Every single thing I've tried has been delicious. The frosting is perfectly balanced--not overly sweet--and the fillings are rich, flavorful, and absolutely amazing. You can tell that every item is made with care and creativity. The flavor combinations are unique, thoughtful, and beautifully executed. And then there are the drinks. Oh. My. Goodness. The Ube Horchata is one of the best specialty drinks I've ever had. It tastes every bit as amazing as it looks! What makes this place even more special, though, is the family behind it. They are some of the kindest people you could hope to meet. I work at a local Title I Special Education preschool, and they generously donated to our preschool graduation celebration. That meant so much to our students, families, and staff. It's rare to find a business that not only offers such a high-quality product but also genuinely gives back to its community. Sweet Baking Co. has earned a customer for life. Delicious treats, beautiful drinks, wonderful people, and a heart for the community--what more could you ask for? Thank you again! I'll be back in town in July, and you can bet I'll be stopping by. See you soon!

So many of our wedding guests made a point to comment on how fresh and flavorful it was. My dad even went back for a second slice because he loved it that much! Working with Lele and her team was such a joy. Lele is so kind, thoughtful, and accommodating--she made the entire process feel smooth and stress-free. She was always responsive and helpful via email and genuinely cared about making sure we were happy with the final product. One of my favorite parts of the experience was the deconstructed cake tasting. Every flavor we sampled was amazing--it was honestly hard to choose because they were all so good! But in the end, the combination we selected for our wedding day turned out perfect. I couldn't stop eating the cake afterward--it was that good! I wholeheartedly recommend Lele Patisserie to any couple looking for a cake that's as delicious as it is beautiful, and a team that's an absolute pleasure to work with. Flavors: Chocolate cake + cookies & cream frosting in the center layer, chocolate meringue frosting in the outer layers, and vanilla bean frosting on the outside.

We had a wonderful (and delicious) cake tasting experience with Room for Cake! What we loved was…read morethat you can choose any four styles of cakes from their list of signature cakes or build your own custom one! We went with lemon blueberry, lemon olive oil, coconut cake, and a custom one of banana cake with mocha buttercream and toffee bits! Coconut cake with passion fruit cream and toasted coconut was our favorite, with the tartness of the passion fruit cream and the wonderful texture of the toasted coconut. While ultimately we didn't select Room for Cake for our wedding cake, we thought it was a great experience regardless. Communication with Lauren and pickup was very easy. Her kitchen is located in a converted seminary which is located near the old mission, so driving into the property was a cool experience itself.

Laurie at Room for Cake is AMAZING! We hired her to create a completely custom cake for our wedding…read moreand I am so, so glad we did. Laurie was extremely communicative and fast at responding throughout the whole process, which was almost a year from the day I first reached out to our wedding day. We made several changes along the way, and Laurie rolled with the punches and always said 'yes' no matter how complicated or complex the request was. I sent her an inspiration photo from Pinterest and she made our dream cake come true. She even accommodated putting on two cake toppers and florals! We received so many compliments on our cake and our guests were blown away with the quality of the taste but also the presentation and design. Laurie is a magician and I cannot thank her enough for agreeing to work with us on our cake. It turned out better than we could have ever imagined - the pictures speak for themselves! You will not regret hiring Laurie!! Seriously, just do it!

A Sweet Experience…read more.. My wife had a milestone birthday approaching and I wanted to get a special cake for her party with friends and family. After reading lots of reviews on Yelp, I called Pam at PK's Cakes. We were not disappointed. Ratings: - Overall: 5 - Ease of Ordering: 5 - Cake Selection: 5 - Customization: 5 - Day of Pick-Up: 5 - Crowd Reaction: 5 - Price: 4 - Value: 5 - Ease of Ordering: Simple. I called Pam, explained the situation and what my wife liked. Pam asked several follow-up questions before we settled on ingredients, appearance and arrangements to get the cake at her house in Arroyo Grande (closer to Cypress Ridge than the village part of AG). She bakes everything in her kitchen. - Cake Selection: Huge. Pam is a cake artist so the choice is basically limited by your imagination and her suggestions. - Customization: Almost anything. We got a 7 inch round layer cake meant to serve 15 people. My wife called it "an artistic version of strawberry shortcake" which is just what she wanted. The top had a yellow rose with sage green leaves and baby's breath sugar flowers. Since her main hobby is ceramics, Pam suggested adding 2 sculpted pots on the side (check out the photo). - Day of Pick-Up: Easy. I ordered this cake 9 days before the expected pick-up which was one day before the party. Pam had it ready-to-go on a strong cake board in a nice, large, sturdy box and helped me find the safest place in my car for the 10 minute drive home. I kept it in that box in our refrigerator at home. - Crowd Reaction: Great. Typical comments were..."what a fine looking cake" and "it tastes so good without being too sweet". - Price: Not cheap. Remember...this is a highly customized cake literally created by a baking artist. Our cake was $175 plus $50 for the hand-carved decorations. - Value: Excellent. We got just what we paid for. No complaints. In addition to the cake, Pam was very easy to work with. A real sweetheart.

Hands down the best donut place in Santa Barbara. I visit SB once a month and this is a place that…read moreI head to each time. There is a wide selection of donuts (including fun seasonal varieties) and the donuts are fresh (and almost fully stocked) no matter what time I buy them (even in the evening). I also love the hearty drip coffee. It's perfect to balance my sweet, scrumptious donut. I've had some of the seasonal donuts but my favorites are the Tiger tail (glazed twist with chocolate behind the counter) and the apple fritter. I also appreciate that the prices are reasonable. Been to some places where the "artisanal" donuts are more than $4 and not worth it. The most that I'm paid for a donut (my giant apple fritter that I can eat for days) is $3.95. Again, my favorite donut place and I am a donut monster.

The staff was friendly, although the donut selection was a little picked over when we arrived. My chocolate glazed donut was delicious, and they still had several specialty donuts to choose from. My only complaint was seeing a fly inside the donut display case, which was definitely a turn off Overall, I liked the vibe, the 24 hour convenience, and my donut. I'd give them another try hopefully with a fuller and fly-free display case next time. This place is located in a shopping center near Target with plenty of seating inside, including a lounge style area that seems perfect for college students looking for a place to study or hang out.
