For our wedding reception, I had a cake place in mind, but turned out I didn't like their cakes. So I contacted Cake Expressions a month before the event hoping it wasn't too short of notice. Cero emailed back that it was enough time, so we quickly scheduled a cake tasting. We selected a two-tier cake with one tier of burnt almond and one tier of princess cake. I wanted to add a custom cake topper and fresh flowers. Cero said to provide them the day of delivery and they would decorate the cake with them. When I arrived at the venue and saw the cake, I was more than pleased. It was understated (as I wanted) and beautifully decorated. As expected, the cakes were delicious! The only negative is that they forgot to bring a cake box for leftovers, so staff at the venue had to wrap it in foil. Not worth taking off a star IMO. I would definitely recommend and would use Cake Expressions again!
I don't even know how to fully describe how WOW our experience with cake expressions was. Cero and his team are so kind and easy to work with. We had a fantastic cake consultation that we scheduled via email. Once we arrived, we were greeted warmly and it was actually so difficult to narrow down which flavors we wanted since all of them were delicious! We ended up choosing the mango and carrot cake for a simple two tier cake and the mille foglie which was the showstopper of the evening. These are NOT dense overly sweet cakes, they are light fluffy masterpieces. Once Cero arrived during our pre arranged delivery time, he beautifully placed flowers exactly how my inspo photo looked. I'm looking forward to order more custom cakes in the future!
Cake Expressions created the most stunning and delicious Mardi Gras-themed cake for my husband's 40th birthday, and it was an absolute showstopper! The attention to detail was incredible--from the vibrant colors to the intricate decorations, every element was beautifully crafted. The cake truly captured the festive spirit of Mardi Gras and became a centerpiece of the celebration. Not only did it look amazing, but it also tasted incredible! The flavors were rich, moist, and perfectly balanced--every guest raved about how delicious it was. Cake Expressions exceeded our expectations in every way, from their creativity and artistry to their professionalism and customer service.P
Absolutely loved working with Cero on our wedding cake. Him and his team are so talented, attentive & communicative throughout the process. They also delivered the cake to Carmel seamlessly. And the best part, everyone LOVED the cake, it was so delicious. Cannot wait to order our next cake. Thanks so much for everything
Cake Expressions created a beautiful wedding cake for us back in April! We gave them a ton of creative freedom (just said we like the naked style cake with some flowers on it) and they produced a stunning cake. Our guests raved about how beautiful it was as well as how delicious it was! The cake tasting was a total blast and they were very easy to work with. We highly recommend them for wedding cake or any special event!
We used Cake Expressions for our wedding cake, and we enjoyed the experience! Cake was not something we cared about, and were originally going to skip it, but after going to the free cake tasting and seeing their prices, we decided to get one in case any of our guests wanted it. They were straightforward and easy to work with, and their prices are super affordable for the Bay Area. On our wedding day, they delivered the cake as agreed upon, and our coordinator and florist worked with them to make sure it was decorated. We didn't even think about it until it was time for the cake cutting!
Cero, the owner created an outstanding, stunning wedding cake. Our vision for the "Dream Wedding Cake" was realized. From the start, Cero understood what my daughter wanted her cake to look like. She brought photos, and he understood we were going for an elegant, large cake. At the shop we saw a display cake with a base and a topper he stated he rents out. It was so beautiful, and my daughter knew that is what she wanted. They provide a wonderfully sample of cake flavors. It all looked so scrumptious and beautiful in colors. This in itself, was enough to make us think that it was the right bakery for us. Superb! Cero delivered the cake, and became a major focal point of the evening. As expected, this bakery and the owner did a fantastic job.
We ordered a wedding reception cake for my sister-in-law from Cake Expressions, and it was absolutely stunning! Beautifully decorated, elegant, and tasted just as amazing--so moist and flavorful. They were a dream to work with--responsive, professional, and made the whole process seamless. Couldn't be happier with how it turned out. Highly recommend for any special occasion!
Cero and his team are wonderful. Cero was kind and easy to work with over the phone when I was trying to get a fun "AI Anniversary Cake" lined up for a big speaker event that our UCSC NLP program was having. Cero worked with me to think of an affordable option that still dazzled guests. It was delicious and loved by all of our attendees. I couldn't recommend Cero + his team enough, this was a fantastic interaction!

Our wedding cake was phenomenal and the fact that we get a free small cake for our first year anniversary is even better! We recently celebrated our first year anniversary and I went in to hand in my 8x10 picture of the wedding cake for their keeps for their album of all the cakes they've done and I forgot how sweet these people are. Robin is awesome and so personable and very real! The brains to the creativity is penny in the back but you don't interact with her much. Our wedding tasting was also a very fun experience. Everyone told us it would be one of the more better parts of wedding planning and they were absolutely right. We went with cake expressions mainly because we were having our wedding at the Santa Clara Marriott and part of the contract was the cake vendor and we decided to go with cake expressions because they seemed very reliable and easy to work with. We had a five tier cake, all five different flavors and they had a sheet cake in the back as well in cake we ran out of cake. The chocolate raspberry ganache was our favorite! read more

It was the most beautiful and delicious wedding cake ever! Cero was very nice and helped us with the design of our wedding cake. We wanted a 3 tier wedding cake with tuxedo cake layers and strawberry layers. They were done perfectly, and the cake was both moist and delicious (not too sweet)! Please see the pictures for how beautiful it turned out! read more

Whether you deal w/ them on the phone or via email, they are responsive and a delight to converse w/. I wanted Gavin's 4th birthday cake to be special because he deserves it; this little guy has been w/ me through thick and thin and thanks to my consistent discipline, I take him literally everywhere w/o a worry in my mind that he'll act like a butt. Like me, he loves a lot of things. I printed a Pavelski jersey, a picture of Mickey Mouse, and a picture of Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers. As you can tell by my picture for this wonderful bakery, he picked the RR crew. Like me, he is a chocolate lover. I told Robynne what I wanted and w/in 2 emails, I put my order in. I wanted the devil's food cake w/ fudge filling. To place the order, they need a 25% deposit. I just paid for the entire thing. I have saved little by little to freely spend $55 on a nice cake for my little guy. WAZE took me to nowheresville so do not use that app. The bakery is between Martin and Reed. If you are coming from North San Jose, it'll be on your left hand side. Plenty of street parking. The cake was beautiful and looks exactly like the picture. The picture was printed on rice paper and the frosting work was awesome. He blew out the candle the next morning and it was moist as hell. The chocolate devil's food cake is moist but was not rich however, the fudge filling was rich and decadent. The frosting is very sweet but no complaints from the birthday boy and his mom (me!). I told Tess that we can order a cake for no reason and she can pick what she wants on the cake. Now that she is in her tween years, it is difficult to find out what she really wants but based on her expression, I can tell that she was just amazed at the cake. We will order one soon. In two weeks. read more
I swear I had written a review and posted a photo - but nope I cannot find it. I found cake expressions when I went for lunch at Kenny's café one day (go there - get the teriyaki cheesesteak and thank me later) http://www.yelp.com/biz/kennys-cafe-santa-clara We had set a date for the wedding in Gilroy and cake was on the list to do - so we popped in and took a quick look, got a card, asked really generally about pricing and size, and I was going to check it out on Yelp (of course!). My wedding was 70 peeps, and she quickly guesstimated in the $600- 800 range including deliver down to Gilroy for a nominal charge. The reviews were all positive, and so we set up a tasting. The tasting is not like I have seen on wedding shows, where you get a bunch of cake slices and frosting cups so you can try various combinations, here they give you 9 slices of cake - tell you what they are and you go at it. They were pretty basic combos, but I am a foodie and wanted something unique, so we looked at the menu of other possible choices. We went "off menu" and chose a yellow cake with cannoli filling and a white butter cream. Since it was off-book, they suggested we get a 10" cake with our chosen flavors for $10 a couple months before the wedding., to make sure we liked it. I am not sure why but I had a moment of frugality and said "no "until my wise husband-to-be said we should for $10! GLAD we did. I was not really a fan of the buttercream frosting on the tester cake, to me it tasted not buttery, and too sugary. Now comes the (awkward) part of calling them and telling them I didn't love the frosting, I could have done chocolate frosting and added a layer of fondant - but who likes fondant anyway? (though we did have a taste of it here and it has some marshmallow in it so it wasn't as bad as usual) I was dreading making the call, but I did, I got the gal on the phone and we were brainstorming, I asked if they had cream cheese frosting, and voila, problem solved. My wedding was "tree-themed" and they copied a photo I brought of a birch tree cake from the web, it was a lovely cake. People said it was delicious, we only had the one bite, but someone saved the topper and it is in our freezer! Here's how the flowers work - you can have them make frosting flowers (extra $) OR you can supply the flowers and they put them on the cake for you at the venue (extra $) . I believe it was about the same price either way, we went with fresh flowers. I believe it was around $700 all in (you get a discount for paying cash). I thought that was pretty reasonable. read more

My wedding venue included our cake. Of course I was scared to use a place I'd never heard of before but decided to look them up on yelp before our tasting. I was impressed with their high reviews and even more impressed at the tasting. They nailed our vision for our wedding!!! Everyone was taking pictures with our cake. It tasted amazing too!!! read more

Simply brilliant ! I reached out to Cero at the last minute to order a cake for my son's first birthday. Cero did not hesitate one bit and coordinated the design through a long weekend and off hours. Loved his professionalism and passion for baking and meeting the client's needs to the dot. And not to forget, the cake turned out better than I expected and tasted amazing too. I ordered the chocolate ganache with raspberry flavor. And for the design, I shared pictures from my son's favorite books, and Cero crafted the figurines on the cake with great precision. Everyone loved it. Will recommend Cake Expressions to everyone I know. read more

We got our baby girl's first birthday cake from Cake Expressions. Talked with Cero, the owner in the phone who was very friendly and went over everything in detail. He asked us any design we could find on the internet to replicate. We found a very nice design, and he and his team were able to replicate it wonderfully. This would make a memory worth a lifetime. Thank you Cake Expressions!! I would highly recommend them if you are looking for a cake read more

We've used Cake Expressions twice now: for our wedding and for my wife's birthday this week. Both times, they blew us away with their quality, their care and their overall experience! The prices are quite fair for what you get and my wife couldn't have been happier with her geode birthday cake this week (see attached photo). I'm sure we'll be back for more special cakes for life's best moments in the future too! read more

I initially chose cake expressions because of their customer service. They returned my message and offered a seated cake tasting. I was amazed that the taste and talent (in cake decorating) matched in greatness. I had been to about three other cake places and did not receive the same customer service. Cake expressions was able to take about four designs that I had found and made our own unique compilation. I am most picky when it comes to pastries and such so during the tasting I was amazed at how good everything was and even more pleased when my cake was delivered and that evening I tasted it and it was so delicious. I've ordered many cakes over the years and no one has been able to match decoration with taste until I found Cake Expressions. read more

Amazing! I wish I could give them a thousand stars. Everyone knows that planning a wedding is hard... to say the least! And, I am to blame for a lot of of the difficulty because I'm not the most go-with-the-flow kind of person. Cero and team listened and never made me feel like I was being too particular or annoying. They made suggestions when I was not sure of some aspects based on their years of professional experience that were helpful because they did not push anything on me like a lot of vendors do. Cero made my cake experience easy and fun! They delivered the most spectacular cake I have ever seen that far surpassed my expectations!! This is just the beginning of our relationship as I will be ordering from them for every occasion from now on! Thank you Cake Expressions. read more

Cero's work is truly outstanding! Best cakes I've ever tasted, and my friends and family always inhale anything he makes. His pineapple and apricot flavors in particular were a hit with my family, and will definitely bring back childhood memories for your South Asian guests. What I especially appreciated about Cero was his promptness, reasonable pricing, flexibility with our flavor and design preferences, and adaptability with order timings. He made a beautiful cake for my bridal shower exactly per the design I had in mind. I hated having to cut through it because it was so gorgeous. Cero is a baker who truly loves what he does and is a master of his craft. I give him my highest recommendation! read more

Cake expressions made my graduation special with an amazing cake. Not only did it look great, but it tasted very good as well. Thanks a lot. read more
Cake expressions came with our wedding venue's package (Cinnabar Hills) so we were a little bit worried, but everything turned out amazing! My mother (who makes lots of cakes in her free time) could not stop talking about how delicious the cake was! We were also on a budget and didn't want to pay for extra flowers, but they let us buy our own fake flowers and arranged them on the cake for us at no extra charge. Robynne was also very nice and patient with us during the tasting when we were very indecisive. They were responsive, on time, and delivered us a delicious, beautiful wedding cake! Thank you Cake Expressions! We can't wait to eat our one year anniversary cake! read more

We went to taste test cakes for baby shower. The owners are so sweet and welcoming. They let you taste multiple cakes (12ish) at no charge. If you like two flavors they work with you to customize the cake you want. They did an amazing job making what I had envisioned for my cake. Definitely recommend, great customer service and very polite and sweet people. read more

I ordered my sons baptism cake from Cake Expressions. I first contacted them by email asking a few questions about pricing based on a cake I saw on their website. Robynne was patient and helpful and answered all my questions. I then made an appointment and met with Cero. I had an idea on what I wanted the cake to look like and had some images I shared because I wanted a combination of things. Cero completely understood what I was trying to say (obviously because the cake was PERFECT!). Price was reasonable and service was friendly from beginning to end. I was pleasantly surprised I got to do a cake tasting too (fun!). I went with the strawberry mousse. SOOOO GOOD!!! Every single one of our guests at my sons reception raved about it. And to be honest, I was a little bummed when my leftovers ran out! Thank you, Cero & Robynne. You guys are my go-to custom cake place now! read more
Whenever I need a cake that looks as good as it tastes, the first place I call is Cake Expressions. I'm always amazed by the artistry of their cakes, without sacrificing on flavor. Recently I asked for a Russian bear cake, and the cake looked just like the image I sent, and was really delicious. It was the lemon zest cake with fresh fruit basket (berry) filling, and everyone commented on how great it tasted. Some people came back for seconds, which is a good sign that they weren't just being polite. Thanks again for an amazing cake on all counts! read more

Cake was beautiful, and tasted even better! Probably the best cake we have all ever eaten (vanilla /chocolate tuxedo with cream cheese filling).
