Everyone commented on the delicious flavors and was incredibly impressed with the beautiful design. What I loved most was how light the cakes were and that the sweetness was perfectly balanced--not overly sweet at all. I am so glad I came across Mitra. She was very nice and professional to work with throughout the entire process. She not only delivered two incredible cakes, but she also went the extra mile by taking beautiful photos and videos throughout the party, helping us capture those precious first-birthday moments. I highly recommend her!

It's rare to find a cake that nails both presentation and flavor--but they exceeded every expectation. Guests couldn't stop talking about how moist, rich, and perfectly balanced everything was (we didn't even have leftovers!). It truly became one of the highlights of the night. They also made the entire process effortless by coordinating delivery directly to La Grande Estates, ensuring everything arrived on time and in flawless condition. No stress, no worries--just a beautiful, perfectly executed centerpiece ready for our big moment. If you're looking for a wedding cake that will wow your guests and actually taste as good as it looks, this is it. Highly, highly recommend!

Oh I hate to do this because they have done cakes for me in the past, but the call I just got off…read moreof was SUPER unpleasant. I called in today to see if they could decorate a faux cake for me. Not only was she rude, but she told me she would charge me AS MUCH AS SHE WOULD for a real cake. You mean to tell me it would cost me $100 plus to decorate a piece of Styrofoam? And then, when I told her the shape of the Styrofoam, she flat out said no. As if the shape of the Styrofoam changes the action? And I'm not a baker, at least not a professional one, but something feels off about what feels like the refusal to help me. And it's not like I am looking for free service, I'm willing to pay, but I'm not willing to pay cake prices for icing on Styrofoam. Saying no, as a business is OK, I'm all for it. But customer service needs a serious rebranding. I have never had a good in person/over the phone experience. Their food speaks for itself, but the customer service skills really takes away the value of a local business that has been around for years. I hope whoever I spoke on the phone with has a better day

Le Gâteau Élégant Bakery…read more I really like this place. The princess cake is good...very pretty and well made ...and the staff is helpful and kind. This is an old establishment that used to be in Martinez, which brings back memories for me. When I was in high school, my best friend's dad used to drive to Martinez to get her a princess cake every year for her birthday. I was instantly hooked. Is it as great as the princess cake from the city? Not quite. But it's still wonderful, classic, and nostalgic, and I'm really glad they're still around

We've been ordering from Z&H Cakes for a couple of years now for all kinds of occasions, and every…read moresingle time Farzi, who is both the owner and the creative mind behind these masterpieces, manages to surprise us in the best way. Her attention to detail, her creativity, and the love she puts into every design really show. She always goes above and beyond, and one thing we appreciate so much is that she includes a smash cake for our son with every order. It's such a thoughtful touch, and he absolutely loves it. Farzi has never disappointed us. Every cake has been a work of art and a highlight of our celebrations. I'm attaching a couple of the cakes she's made for us so you can see the magic for yourself. If you're looking for someone who truly cares about her craft and her customers, Z&H Cakes is the place.

First cake: This was the first cake Z&H Cakes made for our…read moreson's adoption celebration, and it was by far the most beautiful cake he has ever had. It was a chocolate cake--moist, with delicious and creamy buttercream--and best of all, it was not overly sweet. We didn't even ask for it to be less sweet, so we were delightfully surprised that it wasn't overwhelmingly sugary. It had the level of sweetness you find in Japanese cakes, which I love. Our sons loved this cake so much that we now plan to order all of our special-occasion cakes from Z&H Cakes. Our youngest wants a construction-truck cake for his third birthday, and we're excited to see how it will turn out. We love everything about this cake and appreciate Z&H Cakes for their attention to detail. Second order: This is the second time we have ordered from Z&H Cakes, and they did not disappoint. We ordered cupcakes for the Rainbow Community Center of Contra Costa County's Grand Re-Inauguration Ceremony, and they were a big hit. People loved how beautiful they looked, but even more importantly, they loved how delicious the cupcakes tasted. They had just the perfect amount of sweetness and were enjoyed by everyone. Thank you for helping make our event so special with these beautifully delicious cupcakes.
