Reached out to the owner Gina a week prior my 60th birthday partyI was having down in Encinitas. She provided me with excellent customer service. I provided her a picture of a two-tier cake I was looking to have made and a picture to see if she can accommodate me. Not only did she meet my expectations, but went beyond and the extra mile. We both had open communication what was which was great and if there's something I wanted to change prior to having the cake made, she was more than accommodating. Gina provided excellent customer service. The cake was amazing. It was so beautiful. It was off the charts. I was just so happy the taste of the buttercream and the white cake that I ordered was delicious everyone at the party really enjoyed the cake. Thank you again, Gina for going the extra mile. You really met my expectations. Keep up the good work will be reaching out to you in the future and letting friends and family know I highly recommend. Cre8ive cake and candy read more

Wow! Gina did an amazing job for my wife's birthday cake. The attention to detail was superior and the communication was outstanding. I gave Gina some examples of what I was looking for and she did EXACTLY what I wanted. More than anything, the frosting and the cake tasted AMAZING!!!! The taste of the frosting was perfect, not too sweet and it complimented the bread very well. And the bread was moist and fresh! I have had many cakes over the years and her work is outstanding! Once I got the cake, the packaging it came with was exceptional. I felt the cake was secure and protected and it gave me confidence I would be able to get the cake home in one piece lol. I highly recommend Gina and her business for any cake for any occasion. read more

Cre8ive Cake and Candy - a cake with a baseball theme - Desserts Near Me

Tried to help my mother get a quote for an event , and I can't express the disappointment in the unprofessionalism Gina had . I am stunned to see a small business have such poor communication and bad customer service at once. Gina resorted being condescending and plain catty for asking simple questions you have when buying a cake . I was so surprised the response for something so small . I would not recommend a baker with horrible communication skills to anybody . Major red flag that you have to text them over the phone as is . Update : they're telling me I'm reviewing the wrong business but every information leads me to this page even with people reviewing "Gina" by name and your website includes the number I'm showing . read more

Rude customer service and wanted to charge over 200 for the smallest bday cake for my son with not even a lot of decoration - claimed because I needed it in two days that that's why it was so expensive and it would take her all day because of the short time notice. Idk how it takes you longer to make a cake because you need it sooner - also told me she was being genenrous by refunding me 5 mins after sending it because her policy is keeping 50%. I was texting with her for maybe 2 hours on and off so maybe 30 mins or her time total in text and she of course kept 7 dollars because she already transferred it or something. She was rude and her prices were outrages. Won't be trying again. I can see the policy if she would have done ANYTHING to prep for making the cake but we literally just talked and we picked a cake and then I changed my mind because the price was just too much. And wanted 90 for 24 cupcakes lol - now she's called me multiple times. Had to block. Signs of bad customer service! NOW! Home advisor shows their name on their site and shows they gave my number to them so I can get harassing calls all Day! Well you're not smart because your actual business name showed up! They told me! You have home advisor my number in retaliation I take care of my son and 90 yr old dad and you'd really send people to harass and call me all day?? Now I texted to stop giving my my number out and they threatened to sue and are lieing saying I've called them. Never called them once and I have all the texts. They're really not ok. Edit to response : never called you but one time which is proof in my phone lol so stop lying and harassing ME. I have the 2-3 missed calls yesterday after you were upset about my review. I'm allowed to share my experience so stop selling my number and bullying me into taking it down because I won't. But way too busy to harass someone! So that's pretty crazy. We have one 47 second Convo I never harassed anyone or was rude. Mikey had a great bday with a photo printed cake so trying to shame my parenting is low even for you Gina. read more

Cre8ive Cake and Candy - Chocolate and white spiderman cake - Desserts Near Me

I used Cre8ive Cake and Candy for a baby shower recently and was quite impressed. I selected them initially because they were local and reasonably priced but as it turned out they ended up being exactly what I was looking for. Communication, promptness, flexibility, suggestiveness and accommodating are just a few of the qualities I look for when it comes to creating a cake. For me, the cake is everything whenever it comes to special occasions and Cre8ive Cake definitely exceeded my expectations. Our cake was delivered and came out even better than I had imagined. And the taste? Delicious and moist as a cake should be. I had to make some time to write this review and will definitely use Cre8ive Cake again in the future. Cheers! read more

Gina's cake was an absolute art piece and sooooo delicious! Definitely best tasting and balanced, not too sweet, not dry, just perfect! I found her through yelp and she made ordering the cake so easy. Definitely text her as she's a busy lady but she communicated well and made it easy to order. We wanted a 3 tiered cake for my baby shower and wanted magnolias since that's my baby's name. Magnolias are not flowers that you can cut off trees and put on a cake but she made it seem like the magnolias were real. I sent her a few wedding style cakes as my vision with real flowers and asked for her artistic side to shine and oh it shined! I have a few bakers in the family and they all said that this cake was better than theirs! It was the talk of the night. She asked us to pay 50% upfront to place the order, which was perfect. I placed the order about a month before my event, after searching for many places and not getting calls back or getting rejected for my idea of edible magnolias and Gina came back with a confident yes! Highly recommend her . read more
