    Custom retirement cake
    Christina M.

    I ordered a chocolate cake, my dad's absolute favorite, for his retirement with a simple idea to make it tailored to the occasion. I was seriously wow'd when I saw the finished product. The final touches Navi added to the cake blew my expectations out of the water and made my dad's retirement celebration that much more special! The cake was just perfect in every way -- tasted delicious and was designed beautifully. Thank you, Navi!

    Hands down, the best cake! I ordered a chocolate cake for my daughter's birthday. I wanted something simple, but somehow to have not one particular princess themed, but ALL of them. The cake looked amazing and was absolutely delicious! For sure I will order again from Navi!

    Meant to yelp about these amazing cookies for my son's tee ball team months ago. It was our turn to provide snacks and I wanted to outdo the others so I ordered Angels baseballs and baseball glove cookies and they were exactly what I wanted. I just sent her a picture and she was able to create what I wanted. They were soft moist and delicious. All the other baseball moms were jealous of our snacks. I'm definitely be ordering from her again.

    Navi is absolutely AMAZING!! My best friend and I have both been obsessed with Navi's divinely delicious treats for many years now. Her strawberry cake is hands down my favorite and has always been a huge hit with anyone whose ever tried it. Anytime, we have any special occasion we always ask Navi to make something out of this world for us. Navi never disappoints! Navi made both my 30th bday with a massive 6 layer rainbow cake & my best friends 30th - Game of Thrones themed cake that were both absolutely fabulous! If I could give 10 stars I would!

    Navi created a beautiful and delicious two tiered naked cake and matching chocolate covered strawberries for my baby shower. The cake was so beautiful and classic, decorated with fresh flowers. We ordered coconut for the top layer and vanilla for the bottom layer. Both the cake the strawberries were such a hit with the guests. Navi is also great to work with, she is so responsive and accommodating. Can't wait to work with her again the the future!

    My dad's cake- thanks, Navi!

    With my father's 90th birthday party approaching, I found Cakes by Navi by googling "Cusom Cakes in Costa Mesa area", and liked the reviews & pictures on Yelp. When she & I spoke, Navi was very helpful. I texted her a "drawing" of what I wanted, and she was able to design the exact cake I wanted, despite the horrid artwork I sent her. For the three tiers, we had cookies 'n cream w/chocolate mousse filling for the top, the middle tier was carrot cake w/cream cheese filling, and the bottom cake was marble w/raspberry mousse filling. I had the marble cake while my husband had the carrot cake- both were flavorful and moist. I didn't get the chance to try the top layer- I had asked the servers at the restaurant to carry a tray with slices of all three, offering guests a choice. By the time a server arrived at our table, he told me that the cookies 'n cream cake was requested by many of the younger party-goers. (I did ask some of them at the Sunday brunch the next day how the cake was, and they all loved it!) Delivery was on-time (a BIG worry of mine), & Navi texted me when delivery was completed. All-in-all, I was thrilled with the entire process of ordering a cake from her, & all the comments given by family and friends were positively glowing. Thanks, Navi, for giving my dad a sweet 90th party!

    Paderia totally lives up to all of it's hype!!!…read more It's located in The Square busy shopping plaza ~ between Main St. & MacArthur Blvd..next to Pasta Viva & nearby Nektar & Starbucks. Parking is plentiful, however, the plaza can get busy during working/business hours due to the surrounding corporations..so heads up! The staff is super welcoming & friendly. They are efficient & the lines move quickly. The decor is uber modern and ambience is nice & chill. They are known for their quality baked goods. I especially love their cookies & Portuguese egg tarts. The creamy custard center and crispy flakey pastry & carmelized top is absolutely PERFECTION! My fav/go-to cookie is the chocolate walnut. RxFoodie tip! Ask for it warmed up ~ it's yummy, crispy on the outside & perfectly gooey inside. It's baked w/ imported Belgian chocolate, which makes it so decadent and paired perfectly w/ the pecans & walnut bits. It's heavenly. I haven't tried their drinks or other specialty desserts yet, but it's tempting..maybe next time. A solid bakery to try & high recommend!!!

They…read morehad the perfect balance of crunch and caramelized top, and it was true to Portuguese egg tarts without the filling being too eggy like the Chinese egg tarts. Delicious! Also tried a unique drink I saw on the menu - Blueberry Yuzu Double Matcha. The idea is there, but the combination of yuzu with the blueberry was too unique for my personal liking. The yuzu did also overpower the overall taste. I like yuzu but this combination was just a little too strange, not clashing but also not great. Lastly got the Coconut Matcha Tiramisu which was also delicious. It was a little sweet for me though so couldn't eat too much in one seating. I liked the coconut and macadamia nut toppings as it adds a nice crunch. Staff were friendly and overall great ambiance!

They were busy with a lot of Mother's Day weekend rush, but the staff was friendly to everyone with big smiles and they were moving the line along as quickly as possible. I picked up my usual favorite slices: Carrot Cake Slice ($8.49), Tropical Coconut Slice ($8.99), and Old-Fashioned Chocolate Slice ($8.99). They were moist and delicious! Sometimes, the Tropical Coconut can be slightly dry, but it was perfectly moist when I had it this past weekend. They had a really cute May 4th Grogu cake on display and I just think that they not only make delicious cakes, but their cake decorating skills are on point! SusieCakes is worth the splurge!

    I picked up a gender reveal cake and received a level of attitude that none of your customers…read moreshould experience on Mother's Day. After waiting for someone to help me, I walk up to the counter and ask if it was possible to pick up a cake that I ordered. The result was the male sales representative with a beard rolling their eyes and yelling at me - what's the last name! I'm positive Mothers Day is a very busy day for you all, but no one should be on the receiving end of that type of sass from anyone, especially after paying close to $100 for a 6" inch cake. It definitely killed the excitement for the gender reveal with this cake tainted with attitude.

They took the time to explain all the cake options and helped create a custom design exactly the way I wanted. My friend was completely surprised and deeply touched. She said it was a moment she'll never forget. The cake tasted amazing, the design was absolutely beautiful, and the delivery was perfectly on time. I'm so grateful to the chef Kang for making this experience so special. If you're looking for a high-quality, unique, and meaningful cake, I highly recommend them!

    Overpriced for what you get--mostly plastic, not pastry art…read more I have mixed feelings about my experience here. While the cake design looked great at first glance, I cannot recommend this business given the $400 price tag for a 6-inch cake. The design is "pretty," but it is misleading. Almost all the decorations were non-edible plastic ornaments, paper printouts, and pre-made models rather than handcrafted sugar work or fondant. For this price, I expected artisanal craftsmanship, not a collection of plastic balls and paper toppers. Once you strip away the non-edible parts, you are left with a basic chiffon cake that tastes no different from a $40 cake at a standard Asian bakery. The massive markup seems to be for the "styling" of plastic toys rather than the actual baking or artistry. It felt like paying a premium for a cake that I had to "disassemble" just to eat.
