    2 tiered cake with custom fondant pieces and print. Beautifully detailed and DELICIOUS!
    Kiki C.

    Can't say enough wonderful things about Creative Cakes! Helen was quick to respond to my request, was willing to turn around a relatively big cake in less than 2 weeks, and offered her own creative personal touches to my requested design. The cake itself was fairly priced, looked amazing (pic of the yellow/blue grad cake included), and absolutely delicious (cookies n cream flavor). The cake was multi-tiered, featured fondant pieces, and a personalized print to recognize the graduate. This cake was definitely a highlight of the party! I cannot wait until I get to leverage a Helen again for future cakes!

    Wedding cake

    Helen is extremely easy to work with, very responsive, and was able to answer every question I had with great detail. Delivery was on time and the cake looked even better in person than the reference photos used when ordering the cake. The cake tasted great as well.

    Loved the cake and cupcakes she made for my daughters birthday! Delicious and definitely would recommend!! I will be going to her every year!

    Spider-Man Cupcakes

    We ordered Spider-Man cupcakes for my 3 year old's birthday party and they were a big hit! They turned out exactly as Helen and I had discussed and were delivered right on time. We would definitely use Helen for future parties.

    Helen made amazing personalized yummy cake for my baby shower! I really wanted a Noah's ark cake with a fondant of my dog Tazz & Helen was on point! She was very easy to work with, prompt & so very talented!! I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a beautiful cake with quality work! Thank you Helen! I was very satisfied with with the execution and great customer service!

    Helen's toppers are adorable keepsakes!

    Helen has so much talent! She created a two tiered under the sea adventure for my son and a matching mermaid smash cake for my daughter. Both tasted great and looked Food Network quality. Amazing sculpted fondant figures!

    Pinkfong & Baby Shark cake by Helen

    It's really nice to have someone so talented like Helen making cakes in our area, I live in Salinas. I searched for a while for someone to make a Baby Shark cake for my granddaughter's 1st birthday but everyone good was in San Jose.. That's ok, I would've drove to SJ and picked it up but then my daughter in law found Helen. After seeing her cake pics we set up the Baby Shark cake. Obviously her work is amazing so I wasn't worried about aesthetics, what I worried about was taste. I hired another woman in the past named Jandy of Jandy's Cakes in San Juan Bautista (or South Salinas so it says) and she did fondant and the cake was too moist, and way to dense. So I worried about Helen's cake being dense to carry fondant. Helen's cake was of perfect density and perfectly moist. The flavor, vanilla cake w strawberry middle was so good, the strawberry filling was not some cheap strawberry filling either. I seriously felt Helen's hard work, craftsmanship, care, and love in this cake. She is amazing. I had so many people ask me for her information, including a member of the mariachi we hired that day. She also delivered it which was awesome! Helen is such an amazing cake artist and baker, thank you so much!

    Kara not only created gorgeous cookies for two separate events; she made delicious cookies. I was…read morelucky to have any to take home. Remember to quickly set aside and hide your cookies you want to take home. The cookies are so good and beautiful that they will disappear. The first event was my son's graduation from SFSU. The graduation hats and gowns were a nice black color with gold tassels standing out, and the gator cookie was smooth with bright colors of bright gold and purple. We had two different graduating years as one graduation was in 2023 and the other was this year. Kara created a cookie for each year with a bit of sparkle in the frosting behind the year. We did vanilla and they were a hit. The second event was a large bridal shower. Between the three hostesses with very specific requests, we found four different designs and used some of Kara's. Let's start with ORDER THE LEMON COOKIES. Oh my goodness!!!! Delicious!!! Not that awful pledge flavor, but a light fresh meyer lemon taste. Because there is fresh meyer lemon in the dough and frosting. If you are a vanilla fan, then you will love the vanilla. It was also tasty. Lemon was the bride's choice, and a good choice it was! I cannot even describe how beautiful these cookies came out. We gave Kara photos and a color palate. As hostesses, we wanted these cookies perfect. They were. My only complaint is that when I got home, there weren't any left. We way over ordered, but the guests were so taken with the taste and how pretty the cookies were, they took three or four home for later with their coffee. Honestly, we over ordered because we wanted guests to take treats home to their families. I was so excited when I found a few in a bag for my son. My apologies for my crudy photography skills. The cookies were a take away gift, so they are in their little keep them fresh bags. Obviously the theme was Bride to Bee. The golds were pure and the intricacy of her decorating was meticulous. We couldn't have asked for more amazing cookies. Guests are still talking about them. Thank you, Kara, for putting so much heart and artistry into making our two major celebrations even more special.

(Did I mention, FREAKING DELICIOUS). She made our cake for our wedding on Sept 15th and it was absolutely everything I could have dreamed for.

    I contacted Bake &Bake to inquire about possibly doing a cake and some other goodies for my son's…read more4th birthday party (Spidey and his Amazing Friends theme). Eve was super quick to respond to me and extremely helpful with any questions I had. I wasn't sure what flavors to choose and she guided me to a possible flavor selection from her most popular flavors and by asking what my son's favorite flavors were. Based off of strawberries (His favorite flavor) she came up with an amazing flavor profile for the cake, mini cupcakes and cake pops. The cake ended up being a classic vanilla cake layered with fresh strawberry cream, fresh strawberries, and a touch of strawberry coulis. The cake pops were triple chocolate flavor made with Belgian truffle chocolate--and strawberries, and last but not least the mini cupcakes were strawberry with lemon buttercream. The final products came out beyond my expectations from the visual presentation she nailed and even better than the inspiration photo I sent her and the taste was so delicious and tasty. Everything was a big hit with my party guests and I received so many compliments. Birthday boy was in heaven with his cake! Thank you Eve for sharing your baking gifts and knowledge with us! No doubt I will be a returning customer!

She shared with me how she began baking after discovering of her son's food allergies; you can feel the love being put into every baked good with the same care and concern she had making her son's first allergen-free cake. Because of this, she caters to many tastes and preferences; I've included a photo of all the flavorings just to demonstrate this point! When you place your order, you won't just be pleased with the finished product, you will be WOWED!

There was an interaction that I didn't like and I wish I would've spoken up. One staff member spoke so rudely to the other staff members. I didn't catch her name, but she was a much older white woman with whom I've never seen working there before. Granted that they were really busy with tables at the time, but the ladies there were talking to her to let her know about the customers that had been seated and she nastily snapped at them. Her coworkers were not rude and they didn't have any sort of tone to merit the response she gave them. I would've been upset if my coworkers responded to me that way within earshot of customers. All I can say is the women handled themselves with grace and didn't say anything back to her nor did they make a face in disapproval. I don't know if they are used to that treatment from her or what, but keep up the good work and I appreciate your kindness and service every time I go in! To the older lady: If you can't handle the heat, then get out of the kitchen, ma'am.

Our cravings got the best of us. We all ordered more than we should a large instead of a small. Ice cream was very rich and the waffle cones we got were really fresh and full of flavor. Almost had a hint of cinnamon, in my opinion. The place was clean with plenry of places to sit. It was a cold and windy evening so not a lot of people destined for ice cream, except for us!
