    This is the 3rd time ordering a cake from Calico cake shop! I will keep coming back for future events, everything tastes great and looks amazing! Highly recommend.

    Keroppi heart birthday cake.
    Melissa R.

    We have been ordering here for a bit. Easy to order. The ladies help with any questions that may arise. Gave description of what I wanted and emailed my cake inspiration pictures. They did a fantastic job. Cakes taste good too! The bakery is cute and if you need baking supplies it is all there.

    My wife bought our wedding cake here back in 2004 and it was the best tasting cake i ever had even to this day. So I thought i would surprise my wife for her birthday with a great cake by coming to Calico Cake Shop. I brought home a 8 in cake and let me tell you my wife freaked out over this cake she was overjoyed by getting a Calico cake again. The cake was so moist and chocolatey and the mousse filling was over the top. I had that nauseous feeling in my head after eating a slice it was so sweet. Just the best cake ever here hands down and thank you for the best customer service helping me get this cake on such a short notice with the 45 minutes you had to make it.

    The cake was everything I had asked for and even better than I expected it to be. Not just for the design but also the flavor. Amazing, super talented cake artist. Thank you for making my sons cake so perfect!

    Chocolate cake with Sesame Street toppers
    Katherine S.

    Called the shop and asked if they have any available cakes for my son, the lady was very kind to assist me with my order and took payment over the phone, once I got there she boxed my order and showed me cake toppers they have available, very friendly and helpful, I ended up getting Sesame Street to match with my balloons! Asked the baker to decorate for me and she was so nice and even added some sprinkles! It came out so cute! My son was so happy he keeps touching his cake while taking pictures!! It tastes so good too just the right amount of sweetness! I am so happy and already placed an order for our next party! Thank you, Calico!

    A rainbow cake serving $5
    Kiona V.

    I pass by this shop as I run my errand and pop in for a quick look. Really surprise to find wall to wall of cake supplies, from pan, to cookie mold, frosting bag, and sugar confection for cake decoration. It's a very cute place. Like a mini IKEA for cake making. The lady in charge seems a bit offended that I bother her with a question so I pay for a slice of rainbow cake and get out of her hair. Once in a safer space, I dig into the cake. The colorful sponge inside is soft and moist but the icing outside is similar to sugar candy. It's crusty like the icing sold at a general store. I could only eat half as it's way too sweet. Unlikely to come back and be judged by the unfriendly owner.

    The Horchata, my new and forever favorite birthday cake
    Julie T.

    I got invite to the Fiesta Birthday party and I have sweet tooth and by the time they sing HPBD and cut the cakes (they had 3 cakes) and my most favorites one of all 3 is Horchata and I had to ask to know who made those cakes. Now let me tell you about the Horchata cake. The cake decorations was amazing look @ the picture, the texture of the cake was so moist, No too sweet, I ate 1 bite and couldn't stop and had to go for second piece. I have my son birthday this October and will definitely stop by and order it. I used to ordered cakes from others places, but this is the first and will be my only favorite choice from now on HORCHATA IT IS will definitely recommend to my friends and my family to try this cake shop !!

    cookies and graduation cake
    Chelsie M.

    Had a delicious graduation cake from here that was super moist and flavorful. The strawberry fruit filling between each of the 4 layers was an amazing compliment to the white cake and the frosting perfectly sweet without being overpowering. I'm already planning the next event cakes to get!!

    Hello Kitty Cake
    Brenda H.

    This was my first time ever ordering from this cake shop. I had a wonderful experience ordering my custom birthday cake. I ordered a 6 inch funfetti custom cake with horchata mousse. The horchata mousse filling was delicious, it tasted just like horchata. The cake was also very moist and not too sweet. I attached the inspiration/reference picture I wanted my cake to look like, and they replicated the picture perfectly!! I ordered my cake over the phone and the receptionist was very friendly. When I picked up my cake, I had no problems occur and the woman helping me was so kind and complimented the cake. I would definitely order a cake here again.

    Baby Shark cake

    Perfect cake for my perfect nephew. This is exactly what I wanted for my nephew's 6 months. Not only did it looks delicious, it was also tasty. Highly recommend.

    Another California visit, another absolutely necessary stop at Porto's Bakery!…read more My mom and I stopped in to pick up a Milk & Berries Cake for a family gathering, and I was so happy I was able to place the order ahead of time--it made everything so easy! Of course, I couldn't leave without grabbing a dozen guava cheese pastries because... priorities. They are a 10/10 every single time. And the Milk & Berries Cake? Absolutely delicious, as always! While we were waiting in line, my mom and I decided to treat ourselves to a dulce de leche latte and a vanilla latte, and WOW. The coffee was fantastic! I also have to give Porto's major credit for how incredibly organized everything is. Yes, there are ALWAYS a ton of people, but somehow they keep everything flowing and moving so efficiently. It's honestly impressive! I was visiting California from New York, and unfortunately, we don't have a Porto's in New York , so I genuinely look forward to coming here every time I visit my family. Milk & Berries Cake: 10/10. Guava cheese pastries: 10/10. Coffee: 10/10. Porto's, PLEASE open one in New York. Until then, I'll just keep making this a mandatory stop every time I'm back in California!

Looks like they…read moreeither needed a hug, cup of coffee, or a raise, and unfortunately, I am unable to provide any of those 3 things. This really fit the "woke up on the wrong side of the bed" vibe that we all tend to joke with our friends and family lol. Whew. Understood it's never personal, as we're all strangers, but those hostile, uninviting, bad energy really rubs off on people. Came in for a birthday cake 2 weeks ago and this came bagged up at the order pick up station; the same birthday cake I got today for another loved one didn't come bagged, so after the gal who took my order left for the next guest, I asked the cashier (she had on a different color shirt) for the very big bags they have and yep, same no energy, no smiles vibe. Management, please look out for your team, or find ways to relocate non-customer service people into departments where they don't have to deal with people/face to face interactions. I'm surprised they don't have self ordering kiosks, that'd help a lot of "stressed" employees who don't have the capacity to provide basic customer service and to alleviate a lot of uncomfortable, hostile interactions. Porto's is great- food, pastries, and cakes hardly ever miss. It's always the human interaction part that really messes it up for companies of all sorts. Nothing personal, just sharing my very uncomfortable experience, talk about being unwelcome. Hope those 2 girls end up having a better day and finding their energy and smiles. Actually, shout out to the gal stationed at the entryway, she smiled and said good morning, welcome, hello to everyone walking in. Keep up the great attitude, thank you!

    We have been customers of Patricia's for over 3 years, and there is a reason we keep coming back!…read moreFrom the very beginning, she has consistently made cakes that are not only absolutely delicious, but also beautifully crafted. Our wedding cake was everything we could have hoped for. We had 3 layers of different flavors: chocolate cake with fresh raspberry & chocolate mousse filling, lemon raspberry cake with raspberry jelly & cream cheese filling, chocolate cake with fresh strawberries & chocolate mousse filling. The taste of each layer was incredible--moist, flavorful, and perfectly balanced without being overly sweet. Visually, it was stunning: elegant, sophisticated, and beautifully detailed. It fit our wedding aesthetic perfectly and looked like a true centerpiece. What I appreciate most is the consistency, professionalism, and care she puts into every cake. She truly combines artistry with incredible flavor, and our wedding cake was the perfect example of that. If you are looking for a cake that tastes as amazing as it looks, I cannot recommend her enough!

I messaged Patricia right before a last minute birthday I was throwing for my daughter and boy oh boy did she come through. There was no picture I could send her that could explain the Squishy AND Love Shack Fancy theme she wanted. We bounced a few ideas off of each other and I was sure she would make a gorgeous cake because I've seen her work. It's always impeccable. The communication was amazing. Very kind, efficient, receptive and just easy to work with. Now everything aside don't think that these cakes are cheap. These are pieces of art and they're beautiful and time consuming. Everyone loved the cake: how it looked, how it tasted. The delivery was smooth. No calling during the event, just a smooth professional experience from the beginning to end. Patricia is an artist and she makes the process enjoyable too. My daughter was ecstatic and loved everything about the cake. The red velvet was moist and flavorful and the frosting was light a fluffy. Thank you!

I had never tried Botox before in my life, but I decided to get it for the first time yesterday as well. I don't think the results have shown yet, so I'm planning to post a review once they do. Since we were already in Orange County, we stopped by a bakery at the Source Mall. I bought several pastries there. The fresh cream bread was very delicious. I didn't try the custard cream bread because my younger brothers ate it, so I can't really comment on the taste. I also haven't tried the pecan pie yet. Lately, Dubai chocolate cookies have been extremely popular and trendy, so I asked whether this bakery had them. They said yes, so I bought one for $6.75. However, when I tried it this morning, it was absolutely not a Dubai chocolate cookie. It was basically just a chocolate pie. There was no pistachio flavor at all, and no pistachios inside--just a very ordinary chocolate pie. That part was extremely disappointing. Also, yesterday I asked the bakery if they could provide paper plates so we could cut and share the pastries, but she said they didn't have any. Other bakeries usually provide paper plates, so it was disappointing as well.

She's swift and efficient with her responses. I was provided with a menu link, Instagram, Yelp, and a quote instantly to look over.

They wrote down my order (I got 4 different flavors) and I was set to pick up. The day I picked up my cupcakes, I noticed they looked different from the online pictures (but whatever, they still looked cute). I also noticed they gave me a wrong flavor (I ordered chocolate whiskey and they gave me caramel something instead). I made the mistake known to the cashier but she looked so confused and said "yeah.. thats the chocolate whiskey" which it clearly wasn't because there was caramel slathered on top and did not match the online description and the in person display. I showed the cashier the description and referenced the in person display and the cashier still seemed confused and said "yeah... thats the chocolate whiskey. What would you like me to do?" And I had to spell it out for her and say "take these caramel ones out and replace them with the ones I ordered" and had to point and all and the cashier just said "oh okay." It was super weird and frustrating. Anyways, taste wise- the alcohol infused cupcakes don't really have a flavor of alcohol and the batter kind of tastes like the box mix. Super strange experience for mid to below mid tasting cupcakes.
