I'm so happy to have found Olga/Cakes Nouvelle in time for my husband's birthday. I've been in love…read morewith these mirror cakes and when I saw that she is in the LA area, I had to reach out. I scheduled two deliveries with her almost a month prior to the birthday. She said she gets booked up so the more notice she has, the better. The first delivery was so he can share mini cakes at his office, and the second delivery was on his actual birthday. We communicated exclusively via text to build the shape, design, colors and flavors. I'm so bad about mixing flavors and designs that I picked what I saw and asked her for suggestions. Whew! So after that initial order placement, she messaged me right before the delivery to give me a heads up that she was ready to deliver. She stressed that it needed to be refrigerated. I passed that on to my sig other, but he didn't listen and left it out for his coworkers to grab. I asked if it was good and he said it was and it was a lot lighter than he thought it would be. I figured it would be a gorgeous cake lacking in flavor, like those made with fondant. I only wanted to order it because it looked so pretty. So with the second cake delivery, I made sure to refrigerate it right away and only took it out right before we cut it. My husband said it was even better than the previous set. We picked a coffee flavored mousse this time around. I'm now looking for more excuses to order from Olga!

[Review #195] I…read morefound Cakes Nouvelle by accident. I was looking for a small dessert/treat for my daughter's birthday, & CN popped up on my Yelp search. I was initially star struck by Olga's cake artistry... as I perused through the limited pics (I believe CN started back in February 2017). I was conflicted about ordering from a new/untested baker, but the website was simple yet detailed (descriptive captions, beautiful pics) & well-designed; in addition, Cakes Nouvelle claim its mousse cakes & desserts are made from 100% organic ingredients: no fondants (I'm not a fan of this), no preservatives (a plus in the freshness department), & no artificial colors (another bonus). Initially tried to order a heart-shaped mirror cake for my daughter's birthday (in May) but Olga was booked. So I made the same order for my husband's birthday (3-month reservation) with the exception of colors: the blue & yellow colors of the Swedish flag. Then 3 days prior to my delivery date, I received a Yelp message that says "I tried to contact you many times regarding your reservation. You didn't respond so I had to cancel it." WTH!?! I didn't see the message until almost the end of the day, & immediately inquired "When did you contact me? And how did you contact me? This is the 1st time I heard from you since our initial Yelp messaging back in May 2017. This is disappointing." Apparently she was calling a number that wasn't mine, Olga apologized & requested me to text her to discuss the delivery time & details: vanilla mousse cake with strawberry and mango layers inside on crispy streusel; blue-yellow (Swedish flag colors) mirror glaze; heart-shaped; & decorate with the blue crystals for delivery the following Monday at my office. Instead of a heart-shaped cake, she recommended changing it to a round one, says you "get a little more cake" (I'm not sure how much more I got since her website states both shapes have the same weight); I went along with it so I didn't have to get a last minute order from another bakery. And she no longer uses crystals because they melt, & offered to replace them with gold flakes, which I thought was strange because the cake was frozen at the time of delivery & one of her instructions were to let it thaw a little so I'm not sure how the crystals would melt. Due to parking issues, I informed Olga that I can meet her by my office building's parking lot entrance so she didn't have to pay for parking. It was a bit tricky on the pick-up timing because of my meeting schedule. I rushed down as quickly as I could since she couldn't find an open metered spot, & I didn't want her to get ticketed as Westwood is notorious for issuing parking tickets. I was charged full price initially so I gently reminded Olga that she offered/quoted a 10% discount for my order; in any event, I also had a 10% discount for my Yelp check-in as a back-up. She corrected/cancelled the swipe & updated the invoice. During our exchange, she provided careful instructions on the handling of the cake, storage instructions in case we weren't able to finish the cake, as well as cutting instructions to preserve its mirror glaze design. The real thing looks exactly like the images on her website. =) My husband & daughter commented what an unusual birthday cake, & she requested one for her next birthday. If she only knew it was initially intended for her, but with a different design & shape. The mousse cake was light & airy to the point that I questioned if I was eating cake. LOL Even after a 90+ minutes of traffic & summer heat, the strawberry & mango layers were not quite thawed, it had an icy texture. I think there was a thin biscuit instead of a crispy streusel? And if it was the streusel, it wasn't crispy. My husband & daughter were big fans, my son... not-so-much. He hasn't had much sweets but might be used to a standard cake that has substance (i.e. vanilla cake or something similar). He's 21-months... what does he know? ;-) He did like it more the following day when the strawberry & mango layers were more of a jam-ish consistency, but not the mousse. Other than the miscommunication hiccup, Olga's customer service is excellent & her work is intricate, delicate, & beautiful. The cake is tasty but not substantially satisfying as a cake, in other words, I might need to eat the whole thing vs. a typical cake slice. It is THAT airy & light, which may be a good thing, but for me, it didn't close my meal the way a cake/dessert should, I just wanted something more. If you're looking for unique & quality cakes, Cakes Nouvelle may be the answer to your question.

I ordered a cake from Nadia to celebrate my daughters birthday with my family last weekend and she…read moredid a pretty decent job. I asked for a discount since I wanted a small cake for less than 10 people and she was able to discount $15 (even though the cake was an average size) plus she also bought a cake topper I chose from Amazon, which was very nice. I asked for a "Frozen" movie style cake with the words "Lena's FOURzen Birthday" mainly in the color purple with a little bit of blue and pink. Even though she did not include pink as I expected, she did inform me the colors wouldn't look exactly the same as the picture, and I understand this because she does not use artificial food coloring. I did however buy some cake sprinkles since my daughter still wanted a touch of pink on her cake, which was not a big deal because the cake was very pretty. The frosting was delicious! My sister and I kept talking about how yummy it was--without it being overwhelmingly sweet. The berries were fresh and the overall cake presentation was great. We all enjoyed the cake! Nadia was easy to work with and accepted my cake request 4 days before I needed it. Pick up was simple. There was no designated parking, but I waited for her outside the building where she works and she brought the cake into my car. She is the only organic bakery I found within miles of LA county! I definitely recommend her if you are looking for organic cakes & desserts.

In LA, you should know how big of a deal parking is. If you have parking, you are among the elite. Anyway, the cupcakes, I got a standard for a pack with chocolate, strawberry, mint chocolate, and red velvet. To me, these cupcakes seemed even smaller than the standard mini size but maybe I was just already a little butt hurt that I caved on my promise to myself not to fall into the mini fad. I have to say, the highlight of these has got to be the frosting. The strawberry and the chocolate frosting were exceptionally delicious. I would probably buy the frosting by itself if I could. A real home run there and I was definitely wishing that I had A full-size cupcake to enjoy the full-size frosting. The cakes themselves were nothing to write home about, but that could also be because it is nearly impossible to get more than two bites out of a mini cupcake, so maybe I just didn't get a chance to really experience it. All in all, these were pretty solid, and I will definitely return for that frosting alone. Unfortunately, I cannot give this place five stars because again, mini cupcakes are a total rip off. For four of them I paid almost $10. Four minis equal about a regular-size cupcake which on average is $4 or less. It would be more realistic for them to sell them at two dollars apiece, or a dollar per bite.
