    Perfect height, and added sparkle!
    Magdalena D.

    Ines is a wonderful cake designer & baker! We knew the design we were going for to surprise a birthday girl - a high heeled shoe cake. Not only was Ines super communicative and helpful, she didn't need a crazy amount of lead time in our case to make the cake a reality. We contacted her with about 2 weeks to go, and she nailed it, even adding extra sparkle when we told her the birthday girl liked bling. The flavor was delicious, which was an added bonus since you never know if the cake is just going to look good, or taste good too. An amazingly moist chocolate flavor. She also delivered it to us right in the time frame we needed! And, as you can see by the photos (pink & black shoe cake), she totally got our design perfectly. This was from just one inspiration photo, and then her asking questions! Magic. Go with Ines, you won't be disappointed.

    I placed a two-tier custom cake order for a baby shower and it was FANTASTIC! Everything about it was perfect - the design, flavor, details! I had the cake delivered and it arrived on time. Not to mention, I was busy setting up for the event but Ines sent a text message letting me know the cake had arrived and was placed in the fridge. I had an amazing experience and highly recommend this talented baker/bakery. We received so many compliments from our guests - 10/10!

    Ines is exceptional. Our son's 1st birthday cake was absolutely perfect. Family was very impressed with the decor and flavor of the cake. The buttercream, vanilla, and raspberry were excellent - not too sweet, which we appreciate and value. We've ordered cakes through another baker previously and although the decorations looked nice, the taste of the cake wasn't there.  This one had it all!! It was also surprisingly easy to transport, which put us at ease! We'll most definitely be ordering future celebration cakes with Ines!

    I am two years late for this review and thought of our wedding cake while watching Great British Bakeoff! A few notes about Ines: super attentive and accommodating, easily understood my cake request (simple, rustic, clean), and made the most delicious cakes that I still think about today. I got a two-tier with lemon lavender & chocolate espresso, and they were both outstanding. Makes me wish I could get married again!

    Wow!! Look no further. If I could give Ines six stars, I would without hesitation. She is so talented... a true artist. She created a beautiful and delicious gender reveal cake for my husband and me. Everyone loved it. Communication and coordination were easy. We'll be working with her again in the future, that's for sure.

    Ines is immensely talented and a great artist. She was prompt in responding to my inquiries, collaborative, and full of suggestions regarding the theme I wanted for my twin daughters' first birthday cake. Ines used her creativity to deliver the most beautiful birthday cake for my babies. We received so many compliments on how gorgeous and elegant it looked. Moreover, it tasted delicious! (Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Buttercream and Toasted Hazelnuts) I highly recommend Ines and would not hesitate to contact her in the future.

    Thomas the Train Cake

    Ines from Caramela made an amazing Thomas the Train cake for my son's second birthday! I had 2 parties for him (one local and the other with my family in LA). This party was for a group of 2 year olds and the cake was a smash hit! It looked so much like Thomas that one of the guests put an actual Thomas toy next to it so everyone could see how similar it was. To top it off, the cake was delicious! Everyone enjoyed it, especially my 2 year old! I love themed cakes, and Ines is very talented at it. I'm confident she can probably make anything, so we definitely plan on going back for future celebrations!

    Inés created a work of art for our daughters 1st birthday. She took our vision of a forest scene filled with our daughters favorite animals and built a magical and technically superb masterpiece. Everyone was blown away by the cake, particularly the birthday girl! And the flavor, to die for! Can't recommend more highly!

    Is there an option to give 5+ stars? Where do I start, Ines recently made my daughter's birthday cake and I can safely say that she is by far the most talented and reasonable cake artist I have come across in the Bay Area! After calling about half a dozen bakeries/bakers and getting disappointed by their price/samples I found Ines on Yelp. From the planning stage to the last bite everything was perfect! Ines executed the most perfect cake for my animal-loving toddler. Ines is detail oriented, listens well and to top it all, the cake tasted DIVINE! I loved every bit of working with Ines on my little munchkin's birthday cake, she is my go-to cake artist from now on. I highly recommend her.

    This is the best cake I've ever eaten, and it was EXACTLY the design my 6 year old wanted, having a December/Christmas birthday. I'm so ashamed it has taken me almost a year to review Ines- she is WONDERFUL- prompt, patience, a true artist, and a gifted cake maker. She made our son's birthday cake dream come true, by doing EXACTLY the design he wanted. The cake was PERFECTION & I got so many compliments how how delicious it was, as well as how beautiful it was. My son chose the lemon/lavender flavor, which was adored by everyone, even the 40 kids who attended. I highly recommend Ines, if you are looking for a beautiful cake, made to your specifications, that tastes heavenly. She is amazing & helped to make my son's birthday so special. Ines delivered the cake to the venue and that was a greatly appreciated added bonus; her delivery service was right on time, and an added convenience that I was grateful for. I would order from her for any important occasion, no question. THANK YOU INES!

    Smash cake (vanilla cake/buttercream frosting) main safari theme cake (vanilla/buttercream frosting/fresh raspberry filling)
    Alison G.

    Ines designed and made both the main cake and smash cake for our son's 1st birthday last weekend, and we could not have been happier with how they turned out! The party was safari themed, and so was the cake. The 3D safari figurines on the cake were amazing, so much detail, and all edible! Everyone who saw the cake was so impressed. And it tasted great too! (Vanilla cake with buttercream frosting and fresh raspberry filling). Ines was very responsive to all of my emails about our requests. I highly recommend Ines for any special occasion cake needs!

    I am embarrassed to be writing this review a full 1.5 years after my cake order with Ines, but that's how much it has stayed with me so I suppose it's a testament in itself :) I contacted Ines to create a cake for my daughter's first birthday. She responded promptly and, with a couple of photos for reference, created a beautiful masterpiece that was as delicious as it looked. We chose chocolate hazelnut and here I am, dreaming about it 1.5 years later. Our guests loved the cake and my daughter, even as young as she was then, was floored seeing her favorite toys (a penguin and dinosaurs trio) atop her first experience with cake. Thank you Ines, and my apologies for writing this so late!

    Being a foodie, we are very picky when it comes to what we eat. With that said, this was one of the BEST cakes we have ever eaten. It was moist, delicious, and looked amazing. This woman is seriously truly talented and I thank her for help celebrating our special celebration. If you are looking for a custom cake that not only looks amazing but taste good, please call her! You will not be disappointment and if you are, send me a message. Seriously the best FONDANT we have ever tasted. I wish we can rate her more stars because it is worth it! Thank you for making me a happy jew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    This is my favorite cake shop in the area and should be the bar for cakes everywhere…read more The buttercream on the cake is the best. It's soooooooooooooooo smooth and buttery. I would eat the cream by itself if they sold it that way. Good thing I don't live nearby. I saw one review say that some of their chocolate flavor or cookie flavors weren't as good, which I understand. I had a cookie cake and didn't taste the smooth, buttery taste I was looking for. I highly recommend cakes that let their vanilla frosting shine without mixing too many flavors. Flavors: - Raspberry & lychee was amazing - Key lime was a little too tart for my tastes, but I still loved the buttercream - Cookie was just ok

    How dare I give 4 stars, when it tastes like a 5 star cake! This is a PREMIUM cake, don't waste…read morethis on your 2 year old's birthday who won't appreciate the artistry!! Very modern industrial, no seats, pickup only. Everyone was very nice as I pretended to fit in as someone who could splurge on $50 (4-6 little servings) worth of cake. I only got a taste of this cake from a friend of a friend's birthday cake leftovers. The chocolate dulce de leche one I initially tried was divine, but not available when I went in the afternoon a week later, so I settled on the lemon one, not bad. The buttercream was the best i've EVER had, and that's a big statement. These cakes are definitely designed for someone of a different income bracket than me, but if you want to treat yourself to a LUXURY slice of cake, ride your squeaky bike or cybertruck over to the Dogpatch (still a trip how upscale it's become the last 20 years) and feel like you're Marie Antoinette without a care in the world!

    It's been a little over a year since my first time trying B&C, and things have definitely changed…read moresince then--in a good way! I definitely feel like the team implementing the 7:45AM start time to line up has helped a lot. Not only is it better for the neighbors, but it also makes the whole experience feel a lot less chaotic compared to showing up super early and scrambling to get in line. Everything feels much calmer and organized now. As for the pastries: To be honest, it really depends on what you like. I'm one that gravitates towards pretty much anything with meat and chocolate. Because of that, most of their savory/meaty and creamy pastries are always a must for me. They're super flaky, flavorful and decadent. You can really tell how much time and effort they put into making everything as high quality as possible, especially since you can see them making everything from the window while waiting in line. All in all, I think there's been a lot of improvement over the past year with some trial and error. Their pastries have always been delicious and I personally think it's worth the wait. I recommend getting to the area closer to 7:45AM so you have a better chance of being towards the front of the line. If not, it's still better to come before opening, I just wouldn't recommend getting there right before they open. By then it's not guaranteed that you'll get everything you want since they do run out depending on how many people are there.

    Delicious, definitely not hype and it was worth the 1:15 min wait…read more - Short rib 5/5 - Brown butter cornbread 5/5 - Peach cobbler 5/5 - Pistachio cookie 5/5 - S'mores 3/5 - Strawberry cookie 3/5

    "Oh, Suzie Q, oh, Suzie Q Oh, Suzie Q, baby, I love you,…read moreSuzie Q" (Creedence Clearwater Reviva) When we were visiting our San Diego relatives last year, for whatever the reason, our conversation turned to bakeries in general and SusieCakes in particular. My California cousins were downright evangelical about them. The only other time I experienced a similar phenomenon was at work when a group of us were discussing supermarkets for the benefit of our new manager who had just moved to Connecticut from upstate New York. She got downright weepy when she was extolling the virtues of Wegman's to us. So, when we were walking around the block of our San Francisco hotel and spied a SusieCakes on Chestnut Street, well we really had no choice but to go inside and check out the buzz. When we walked in, we certainly understood the cause of that buzz. Some of the most gorgeous cakes I've ever seen were lined up in a showcase alongside cupcakes, cookies, and pies. We walked out with two big cookies that looked impossible to ignore: a Chocolate Chip baked with brown sugar, butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips, and a Snickerdoodle cookie with a cinnamon-sugar coating. Each was $3.99. My cousin told us that the Snickerdoodle reigned supreme in her house, so that set the bar pretty high for us. And after we split it... we agreed it was fantastic, maybe a 10.5 compared to the Chocolate Chip's 9.5. The SusieCakes buzz is most certainly a well-deserved buzz.
