I HIGHLY RECOMMEND CAKE COQUETTE. I love Love LOVE Gabby and Sharon. They were both super friendly, responsive, and helpful. My (now) husband and I came in for our wedding cake with nothing more than some mood words and a color palette. Gabby quickly gave us some guidance and had visuals to help us design dream wedding cake. She had the rendering and quote on the spot. There were no surprises or hidden conditions. Leading up to the day of they were both patient and responsive, namely as our guest count kept fluctuating. They delivered the cake right on time the day of. The cake was a hit and got numerous compliments from the guests. I will definitely work with them in the future for special occasions. read more

Gabrielle is amazing. Not knowing much about cakes except how to eat them I initially ordered a nine inch 4 layer cake semi naked. Instead of completing my order Gabrielle reached out to confirm if this was the cake I wanted and explained how many people it would feed; it was 30. She stated she knows we are socially distancing and her insightfulness sure was right on time. I for sure was not having a party for 30 but without her taking the initiative and asking me I wouldve ended up wit a 9 inch 4 layer cake. I appreciated that so much. Now the cake!!! It was for my chocolate loving son. All I can say is wow and thank you. I explained how he loves chocolate but the rest of us not so much. I requested if we could also have vanilla in there somewhere. The cake did not disappoint. I have no clue how she knew my favorite cake is pound cake. Best pound cake ever. So dense and moist. And those solid chocolate layers showed true skill and talent. When I cut the cake there was no cake or frosting on the knife. I cannot wait for our next celebration so I can order another cake. read more

This is my first time booking with cake coquette for a birthday cake, and they have sold me. I will definitely be coming back for my next cakes. I had called in a week and half early to book this cake for my friends birthday cake. Everything was online and email, so as a first timer, I was a little scared that something would have went wrong. However, everything turned out perfect. The staff was so intricate with every detail. Cake: I had opted for the vanilla cake with strawberries and raspberry jam. I would definitely get this again one day. The cake was super moist with the perfect quantity of raspberry and strawberries. I usually don't like heavy fondants on my cake or heavy frosting, and cake coquette does not have that! We all enjoyed eating this cake, great job cake coquette! Staff: gabby and Shannon had helped me, they're both very nice and sweet! Great job at decorating the cake guys! We loved it! read more

Gabby, the founder and owner of Cake Coquette, is an artist!! She's created a variety of cakes for me, and they are always visually stunning! Not only that, but they taste DELICIOUS!! The cake is so moist and flavorful! Mmmmm! Most recently, she created two cakes for my Bridal Shower Fiesta in August 2019 and my wedding in October 2020! All of my guests were in awe at the level of detail!! The gold piping on our wedding cake and florals were so well done!! I also loved how she incorporated real flowers on my Bridal Shower Fiesta cake. The wedding cake tasting was such a pleasurable experience as well. My husband and I had an ideal of what we wanted, and she literally drew it out on paper within minutes!! We had such a great time! She can do cakes for ALL occasions. If you want the best quality and experience, CAKE COQUETTE is the place to go! Thank you Gabby and team, you are so talented, CAKE COQUETTE IS THE BEST!! read more

We challenged Gaby with a concept cake for our wedding reception. We emailed her a few photos for inspiration then she met us at her office and sketched the design on the spot that beautifully combines the elements together. We also bought their trial kit (one slice of cake per each of their flavours) to decide on the cake flavour. We continued emailing in the coming weeks, Gaby and her assistant Shannon responded to our emails in a few hours. The whole experience was professional. The cake was the highlight of our night. It was very very pretty! And you don't expect such an artistic cake to also taste good, in fact it was the best chocolate cake I have ever had! Can't thank you enough Gaby. read more

I love cake and visual design is my expertise so finding Gabby was a gem! Gabby did a beautiful cake for us. It looks and tastes spectacular! Gabby was also very patience and open to design ideas I had about the cake. On the special day she placed fresh flowers on the cake which is a bonus service that you will not get if you went with the other bakery. Overall, I am pleased to have chosen Gabby after tasting and looking at four other vendors. Order your cake from Cake Coquette because it will be as memorable and tasteful as the event you want to celebrate for!

Considering all the 5 star reviews here, I ordered my wedding cake through Cake Coquette and it turned out to be the most dissapointing part of the wedding. I wish this wasn't the case and I would have loved to give Gabrielle 5 stars, but it was tipping to one side so noticable that my guests called it the tower of Pizza. I will post a picture as soon as I have one. Guests were happy we cut it, as they were worried it would fall by the end of the night. And when we cut it, it started moving so I was just holding my breath. We called Gabrielle early on when the reception started and she said that the table at the reception was not leveled. She did not try to contact any one of us to tell us that ahead of time, instead, she just dropped off the cake and left. The staff at the reception facility brought a leveler to actually have me see that the table was in fact leveled fine, and that the cake arrived like that. We called Gabrielle back to come and fix it, but she didn't. Maybe this was just my luck, but please keep this in mind when choosing your cake maker. Gabrielle's designs are beautiful and her cakes taste really good, but unfortunately, she should not have left the cake as is and should have done something to fix it. Good luck to the rest of you; I hope your experience is better. read more

If I could put zero stars I would. My company had a 10 anniversary party with all of our most important guests and executives from out of the country. Needless to say I wanted the cake to be perfect. Similar to the quality cakes I've seen on Yelp and their website. I've expressed the importance of making sure the cake is perfect. After all I'm spending a tiny fortune on a custom cake. The cake was supposed to be shaped like a solar project with solar panels on a desert. What I received was a cake with solar panels that were uneven, jagged lines and icing stains on the ribbon. They didn't even have the decency to cut our logo straight. The final project was rushed and looked like an amateur made it. That was just the exterior. The cake itself was supposed to be caramel creme. I am not a professional baker, but I know enough that the caramel was burnt as it had sugar crystals in the icing. My customers and colleagues were asking if it was a peanuts butter cake because they saw "peanut-like" objects in the icing. Very embarrassing to say the least. Save your money and go somewhere else. read more

Gabby's cake was amazing! I had originally requested for a vegan carrot cake for my daughter's 1st birthday, which she had no problem with making, but I later changed my mind and requested for a regular carrot cake. She had no problems with making either. I also changed my mind about the size later, which she readily accommodated for. The cake was moist and absolutely delicious and looked exactly like how I wanted it to, even though I didn't give very specific instructions! I requested for a pastel colored farm animal/barnyard theme, and the cake was beautiful!! She responded promptly to email and was super easy to work with. I initially had reservations about spending so much on a cake, but I think it was totally worth it. read more

Gabby and her team really did amazing job for our wedding. They deserve all the complimentary. Since I live in China, and it's an overseas wedding, it was impossible for us to meet face to face before the wedding, and I also couldn't go to their store or workshop for sample taste; besides, we have 15-hour jet lag, all the communications were made in emails. However, our communications were very smooth and efficient, since Gabby's team was very professional. Normally I sent out emails during daytime in our time zone, and I could always get her feedback next morning on time. What I did was sent to them sample pictures I liked and asked them if they were able to do the similar thing and told them how many guests we had. Gabby would suggest the size of our wedding cake, provide different favors they had and estimate the total cost. We didn't encounter any problems during our communication. Gabby took down all my detailed requests in different emails, and didn't miss one single item. And all the payments had been cleared before the wedding, which was really efficient and straightforward. On the wedding day, I didn't have chance to meet any staff from Cake Coquette; when they came and did preparation, I was taking my wedding photos outdoor. When I was ready for the reception, my wedding coordinator told me that everything was set, including the wedding cake, cupcakes and cookies. As I walked into the restaurant, I was definitely impressed by the beautiful wedding cake as well as those very exquisite desserts. All these items were made exactly as same as the picture I provided. I had to say that their workmanship was perfect, which making the cake table a shining point on my wedding. And they looked so pretty in the lens, please check those lovely pictures. The style and color matched the soft ambient uplighting perfectly. Besides, the cake and desserts were also very tasty. We even brought the rest of cake to our after party and we really liked the chocolate favor. I was so glad that my wedding was such a big success, because overseas wedding is certainly not an easy job. And Cake Coquette definitely contributed lots of efforts on that. I really appreciate their exquisite services. I also feel sorry because I didn't have chance to thank their staff personally, to avoid disturbing us, they just came and left quietly. So it's our obligation to write down our appreciation online and say thanks to all the staff from Cake Coquette. Well done! read more

I had an at home reception for my destination wedding at the Cliff House in SF at the end of October. I had met with Cake Coquette around March to talk in detail about what we wanted for our wedding cake and to have a tasting. Everything tasted wonderful and the customer service was great. I really enjoyed working with Talya in their cute showroom in Bernal Heights. So fast forward to the wedding reception day. I've been telling my now husband for days how excited I am to see our beautiful cake. It's supposed to be a 3 tier gold cake with an Art Deco/antique styling. Just really unique, over the top, and decadent. So I'm at the Cliff House setting up and crazed because everyone's pulling me to all different directions. The cake comes in and is being set up. I see it from afar. My heart sank a little bit. It was not what I was expecting or what was shown in my inspiration photo. I wanted luxe, sophistication, jewels... What I saw was a bedazzled cake. It was more animated than sophisticated. Not to mention that one of the middle tier was uneven and leaning a little too much to one side. I had a lot of hopes for this cake. All in all, it turned out fine. We still got compliments on it and it still turned out great in photos (in certain angles). I really didn't have any issues with the customer service, they were one of the more pleasant vendors to work with. But still thinking about the cake now makes me a little sad. I had high hopes =( read more

This is by far the best cake I've ever seen and tasted!! We ordered cake for our Pastor's birthday. The ordering process was smooth. I've told Gabby that we want some cake with Bible and she response with the design she had in mind (this was on her first email). And it was very detailed! You could tell that she really loves what she does just from the way she emails. SHE BAKES WITH LOVE! She asked about the background of our church and pastor. She wanted the cake to represent our church and Pastor (I didn't think that far! Seriously I was just thinking of a Bible cake and that's it) I couldn't even imagine how could she put all those in the cake but SHE DID! I can't explained them with words so I'll just post the pictures here.. The taste was so good! I ordered the red velvet. It was moist and not too sweet.. On the day of our Pastor was so amazed by the details of the cake and the congregation love how it taste! It was definitely a big hit!! Thank you Gabby and Talya for your assistance! You guys are amazing and very talented! Keep up the good work.. read more

My friend brought up a good point today. Who would give a bad review to their own wedding cake? Might as well give the bride 3 out of 5 stars, right? Well, guess what? I am not even getting married, and I am giving Gabby, aka Cake Coquette, 5 enthusiastic stars. You see, my friend is planning his wedding, and I, as his best man, try to help whenever I can. I am sure they could have handled cake tasting on their own, but . . . come on! Who knows more about cake than I? In the words of Chris Rock, "fat people don't fail cooking classes." You would be hard pressed to find a nicer and more patient person than Gabby. It took my friend and his bride a long time to make a decision, and it probably would have taken longer if I hadn't been there. (Sorry, I had to give myself a little plug here). Every question we asked, every challenge we tried to throw at her, Gabby responded with "absolutely," "no problem," and "I can do that." It's not surprising that we couldn't make up our minds, because every cake she showed us was truly a work of art. If they look half as good in real life as they do in the pictures, I think the guests at my friend's wedding will be in for a real treat. Gabby brought 6 cake samples for us to taste. After much deliberation, my friend decide on a white cake with strawberry jam filling for one tier and a devil's food cake with hazelnut for their second tier. If I had to offer some criticism--and wouldn't be a real Yelp review without it--I'd say that all cakes tasted pretty ordinary. Don't get me wrong, they were delicious, but the taste wasn't out of this world. I guess for a wedding cake you want to have something more agreeable, so . . . Minor details. The price she quoted us was very, very reasonable. I mean, for the beauty she creates, and she makes every single cake herself, she could easily charge more. Outstanding service, beautiful cakes and reasonable prices. Check out her website and schedule an appointment right now (she doesn't have a storefront). You will not be disappointed. read more

One the most beautiful and delicious birthday cakes I have ever seen! I hired these guys to custom design a cake for 12-16.

I would definitely go to Gabby again! THANK YOU, Gabby! read more

I am so disappointed when I see the cake I ordered for my friend. First, the color of the cake. I wanted chocolate flavor but white outside. So I mentioned explicitly, I want a white cake with small pink flowers decorating. They replied 'Sounds great for flavor choice, and yes the outside of the cake will be white buttercream underneath the various shades of pink sugar flowers and gold leaves', but when I see the cake, it was a RED PINK cake, so different! I even attached the cake, but they just don't pay attention at all! Then I asked for a delicate small rabbit on cake. I didn't have a concrete picture sent to them, my bad to trust their design- a BIG YELLOW stupid rabbit sitting on top of red pink cake. It's just so ugly! And they don't even have a box fitting the cake, very bad experience. I cannot believe I spent $200 on this stupid cake! Will never order from them again! read more

Loved my wedding cake! I went to A LOT of cake tastings and Gabby's was by far the best one. Tons of flavors to choose from and beautiful artistry in the designs. I had a hard time finding a shop that 1) would make gum paste flowers and 2) made them well. Cake Coquette definitely hit the mark! I ended up getting the vanilla cake with raspberry jam, cream cheese filling and fresh strawberries in a 4-tier cake AND a sheet of the hazelnut flavor to serve approx 300 people. I didn't want any fondant so I went with buttercream. Delicious! Everyone enjoyed it and I didn't have much left over. If I could re-do the wedding cake, the only thing I would have changed is ordering a 5-tier (instead of 4-tier) cake! I can't wait for our wedding anniversary; we decided to re-order the same flavors for our anniversary cake! read more

This review is a year late, but after our cake experience this year I realized I didn't review last years' cake! Gabby made the most amazing custom cake for us last year. My kid was having a "Peg+Cat" party and we wanted a cake to match. She was able to create a cake for us off the opening screen shot of the TV program. The pricing was great for all the time and creativity she had to put into the cake. We would recommend Gabby for anyone looking for a cake designer.

Gabrielle is amazing! My fiancée and I met her a few weeks before our wedding and she helped us design a perfect cake for our special day. Cake Coquette is conveniently located on Cortland Ave in Bernal Heights. The design studio was beautiful and inviting and the cake tasting the best part of the meeting! All of her samples were incredible, but we decided on a white cake with fruit filling for main layer, a hazelnut with chocolate ganache for middle, and a decadent red velvet for the top. Our wedding guests are still raving about the cake. I wasn't even able to freeze a piece for our one year anniversary because I couldn't resist finishing it!

Yup still 5 stars. After the awesome wedding cake Gabby made for me a few months back, I knew I had to enlist her services for my husband's 30th birthday. Through a joint kid-themed party for him and his best friend. One of the absolute highlights was the 3 tiered cupcake tower for the boys. I had some crazy notion that they could be decorated with the guys' favorties things. I emailed Gabby some of my off-the-wall ideas, thinking she would rein me in on what she could actually create. Well, she created every single thing I asked for (I'm still freaking stunned). Here's the awesome candy pieces she made that topped the delicious cupcakes: - a black goat (homage to HIMYM) - UCLA logos - faces of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - the Green Man (It's Always Sunny...) - snowboards - Wii remotes - Guitar Hero guitars - AND the Puffy Shirt from Seinfeld. How she pulled it off...probably black magic. Delicious black magic who's leftovers were still chocolatey and moist 5 days after the party. Oh, and she was a great direction-giver when I called her frantically after getting lost on the way to the bakery for pickup. Yay, Gabby! - read more

Where do I begin to start... I love Gabby's creations too. :) The three layer cake that Gabby created for my three co-workers birthdays was magnificent. It had three different themes, the colors were perfect, the cake was delicious and of course the cake was ready on time... Gabby responds to inquiries very quickly. I'm a very thoughtful person and I like for my cakes to have meaning and Gabby's creation definitely did the job. Now I can't wait for another celebration! Thanks again Gabby... I can't wait to see the heartbreaker's tiered cupcakes... Next month... read more

Gabby is wonderful to work with. I wanted to have the "naked cake" look for my wedding cake and she told me that it dries the cake out. She was able to achieve the look without disrupting the quality. She created this beautiful cake that perfectly matched the theme of my formal backyard wedding. She even added moss made out of sugar! Her citrus cake is to die for!! I also surprised my groom with a guitar cake, specially designed to look like the guitar he made. This cake blew everyone away-and it was all super yummy carrot cake. read more

I found Cake Coquette here on Yelp and I must say the reviews steered me in the right direction. I contacted Gabrielle after viewing her website. I gave her my ideas over the phone, sent her an email and my idea came to life. Her work is AMAZING! The presentation was absolutely FABULOUS! In addition, her pricing is very reasonable for the quality, appearance and taste. If you ever need a custom cake, Gabrielle is definitely the Cake Diva! read more

Gabby's cake creation for our wedding last week was TIGHT!!! My fiance (well, now wife...WEIRD) wanted a subtle 70's theme, so Gabby wove in green & orange flowers, and a cool pattern of modeling chocolate circles in different sizes. It was subtle and very tasteful. Long story short, she does awesome & tatsy work, and is very collaborative. I love that she doesn't use fondant!! She's a self-professed icing obsessor....so no fondant, and instead just a smooth sea of beautiful and tasty buttercream. read more

Gabby made our wedding cake for our wedding in June. She was great to work with. The first time we met, we were impressed by how she really listened to our ideas about how we wanted our cake to look and was able to sketch out a design incorporating all our ideas on the spot. The cake tasting was delicious as well! It was hard to choose what flavor we wanted because there were so many delicious ones, but we ended with up with the chocolate and citrus. The cake ended up being pretty amazing. Our cake was decorated with sugar flowers. The detail on the sugar flowers was pretty amazing. Thank you gabby for such a beautiful cake! read more
