    the most amazing hand made chocolate truffles!

    Chefany made me the most AMAZING hand made chocolate truffles! They were beautiful, and incredible delicious. These had salted caramel ganache. I also felt good that she used organic, fair trade, non-gmo chocolate. They are seriously the best. I wish I could give her a 6 star review.

    a wedding cake with flowers

    Chef Stefany was an absolute delightful person to work with. She accommodated our big dreams and vision for a delicious and affordable wedding cake and OHHH YESSS she definitely delivered! She even encouraged us to enjoy all three layers on our special day and to contact her for our 1 year anniversary to make us a new cake free of charge-- I mean talk about going above and beyond! There are not enough stars to do her justice!

    Happiness in every scrumptious bite. Once you taste a Stephany cake it is a gift you give to yourself. Celebrate yourself, family, friends and company.

    If you're planning a wedding, make this your one and only Wedding Stop. This is opened by Chef Stephany Buswell with over 30 years of baking experience. She is also currently the *BEST* chef instructor at the Professional Culinary Institute where I've had the pleasure of learning from for the last 10-months. If you're looking for quality and taste, Chef Stephany is your answer. She is teaming up with Marty Ryhanych of New View Photography and Andrea Mollenauer of Lifestyle Culinary Arts catering and wedding co-ordinating. They also have many other referrals to offer and are promoting local businesses and offering discounts to couples who choose more than three services. So say "I DO" to the Wedding Stop & Cake Shoppe!

    Baby cake

    Stephany is amazing! I reached out to her during shelter-in-place to see if she was still working and could make a baby gender cake. Obviously we weren't doing any sort of party, but I wanted a fun way for my husband and I to find out our baby's sex, rather than just opening an email from my doctor with the results. If you are considering doing this I highly recommend it! It was actually a really fun way to find out - I mean finding out anything in life is always better with cake :) Stephany was super responsive and make an awesome chocolate cake with layers of ganache and peanut butter buttercream frosting. Honestly one of the best cakes I've ever had! And Stephany literally had the cake ready two days after my friend sent her the results. If you are in need of a delicious cake, I highly recommend reaching out to Stephany.

    My amazing Parents to Bee (bumble bee theme) baby shower cake and cupcakes! delicious AND beautiful!!!!
    Angie M.

    I had a baby shower and I was honored to have Stephanie make my cake. It was absolutely beautiful AND the best part.... it tasted great!!!!! usually these fancy cakes look great but don't taste that great. All my guests were surprised how yummy it was! :-) And the cupcakes!!! OMG amazing!!!! It was originally going to be a gender reveal cake but I changed my mind last min and decided I had gone 34 weeks without knowing the gender, why not just wait?! When she delivered the cake my girlfriends were quick to ask if she could tell them the gender, lol, and idk if they really offered her money or not but she did not budge. We are 38 weeks now and she is still the only one that knows the gender aside from our doctor :-) Thank you again for such a wonder job!!! I highly recommend her services and will definitely seek her services again in the future!

    Only Chefany's Signature Cake for our happy guests!

    Chef Stef was the best pastry school teacher ever! I loved her both inside and outside of class. Great techniques and advice from her!

We got the Brown sugar oat with walnut ice cream, I also really enjoyed the bitter caramel, which really was bitter but perfect for people who don't like too sweet of an ice cream. Quinn was the employee who helped us out, she was so sweet and accommodating! She gave us recommendations convinced us to get the marshmellow fluff which we are grateful we tried. Thank you Quinn!

When my boyfriend and I walked in, one of the employees was having a conversation with what looked like friends. I didn't mind at first because there were two other employees standing at the front, so I assumed one of them would help us. Instead, we stood there for several minutes without anyone acknowledging us. I understand if the other employees weren't assigned to the register, but what bothered me was that no one even took a second to say, "We'll be with you shortly." A simple acknowledgment goes a long way and would have made a big difference. The lack of customer service and communication made us feel ignored so we just ended up leaving and went some place else. As someone who has supported this business for a long time, it was disappointing. I hope management addresses this because good customer service is just as important as the product itself.

    This review needs updating. I am now confident in saying that these ice cream bars ARE the best in…read morethe world and would love to be proven wrong (hey, IF a better ice cream bar exists it would have to be mind-blowingly good). It starts by them using quality ingredients. They use Marianne's vanilla ice cream, and Valrhona chocolate (a French chocolate used by gourmet chefs). You can choose milk chocolate or dark. They have a bunch of options for what you can include in your bar, including chopped almonds, caramel, and marshmallow. My favorite is #4: dark chocolate with caramel and marshmallow. It is insanely good. After each bite I am thinking "oh my god this is good." Frankly I am glad it is in Santa Cruz (and not in my town) or I might be 50 lbs heavier. I just had one yesterday and the experience is still vivid. Oh, and their chocolates (which also use Valrhona chocolate) are also damn good. And if you like brownies they've got you covered too. The guys running this place could not be nicer, which makes this place a joy to visit. This is really an exceptional place to come to and we are lucky to have it in our area. I am now a regular almost every time I am in Santa Cruz (and I come here often).

A bit on the pricey side for sure, but holy cow was it delicious! My wife and I both had to be careful not to eat it all in one go. We wanted to spread out the joy of eating it.
