    All of the cupcakes

    Off the grid food trucks rotate at our friends' complex every Wednesday, and this week there were cupcakes! We couldn't decide, so we got one of each and split everything between 4 people because you only live once/hump day/*insert any other reason to go each a bunch of sugar on a random weekday*. It was great! My favorite was the banana cream pie, and everyone else's favorite was the spiced caramel apple.

    For the price I thought it was not that great. I paid $66 for *2doz cookies* The cow and pig cookies and the numbers were the right size (the way it was decorated was good enough) but the letter, and stars were a tad smaller than I expected it to be. Though the colors were on point and it blended well with my theme. The taste is just okay - hit or miss. Not a lot of kids ate it at the party. It was mostly my husband who finished it days after (he said it tasted good).

    Amanda made the cutest and tastiest smash cake for my Ebees!!

    Amanda made a super yummy and moist carrot cake smash cake for my boy's 1st bday. The party was circus themes and it came out soooo cute! She also made a chocolate cake for the rest of the folks to enjoy which was equally tasty. Everyone kept "awwwwwwww"-ing the cakes and everyone went back for seconds. Beyond just how cute the and yummy the cakes were, Amanda was so timely in her communications with me and with her helpful recommendations. I ordered the cakes about a week before and she was able to get them done whereas other bakeries told me I should have notified them two weeks to one month for custom cakes. Her prices were quite reasonable and she delivers, too! I'm pretty picky when it comes to desserts and I'm always very aware of how I am or my family is treated whenever we dine out or utilize a business' services, and Amanda was such a professional and helped this young family out with the best First Birthday party ever!! Thank you!!!

    1st time ordering from Desserts First, I'm speechless. Thank you so much Amanda and Debbie! #delicious #cupcakefrapps

    I ordered the chocolate coffee cupcakes! Best cupcakes ever!! I highly recommend them for all of your dessert needs! My daughter's Frappy 14th is now complete! Thank you Amanda & Debbie!

    Thank you Desserts First! The cake for the baby shower was a hit!

    We ordered a large cake for my sister-in-law's baby shower and it came out amazing! Amanda made everything go so smoothly from ordering all the way to delivery. Will definitely be ordering from her again. Absolutely loved the strawberry filling in the cake and the cake was nice and moist! Thank you so much Amanda!

    Three tier cake circus animals, coconut & red velvet

    Thank You Amanda!! All three flavors were delicious (circus animals, coconut & red velvet) I was really stressed out because it was two weeks before my daughter's first birthday party and I still didn't have a cake ordered, i called a few bakeries and they all said they were all booked for Sunday so I figured I was stuck with cupcakes until I reached out to dessert first and she was super cool, right away she said yes we can do it. I wish I would've called her first... great customer service, delicious cakes, delivery was on time, beautiful cake.. thank you again!!

    I met Desserts First at a wedding fair and tried their Swiss Buttercream which is amazing and I think the cake was mango. Flawless! Not too sweet, moist, perfect bite so I scheduled a tasting for wedding cakes. Scheduling is easy and online... but then they don't honor your appointment. I booked 3wks in advance a wedding cake tasting and Desserts First called me and we planned out about 12 flavors to try. I asked for the address right then and they put me off saying they move around, they'll send it later... etc red flags. Then, the week of the tasting they never confirmed or sent me the address. I called them for hours the day of the tasting and no one ever got back to me! Chasing someone I'm trying to pay hundreds of dollars to for something as important as a wedding cake is soo unprofessional and my appointment should have been enough. Ridiculous customer service and days later still not getting back to me or explaining why they flaked. Wasted my whole day on them calling multiple numbers for nothing and with my wedding in 7wks I wouldn't trust these guys to show up anyway so I'm not even going to attempt giving them another shot. Brides beware!

    If you enjoy cute character desserts, delicious drinks, and an overall cozy cafe experience, I…read morehighly recommend that you stop by Always Yours Bakery Cafe! Not only are you able to purchase from their bakery case, you can also request to have desserts made for special events! (In advance of course.) I very much enjoy their macarons and fresh fruit tarts. They also added Banana Matcha to their menu when it became a craze, and I 10/10 would recommend it. They use high quality matcha powder (Marukyu Koyamaen) for their drinks. This is one of the few things that drew me into their cafe. The baristas are extremely friendly and have a wonderful sense of humor, AND they support small businesses! While you wait for your order, you can browse their shelf full of crystal candies, matcha sets, candles, and they may also have Natsume matcha tins available! (This is not the matcha they use in their drinks, but it's nice to have other options available to buy.) ^^ So if you're in the East Bay and are looking for a business to support, go to Always Yours Bakery Cafe (they're also available on the Too Good To Go app)! They have beautiful outdoor seating available, as well as cutesy seating indoors. Not sponsored or anything, I just wanted to review one of my favourite cafes in Castro Valley. ^^

I recently ordered some desserts here for my daughter's birthday party and they turned out beautiful and delicious. Natalie, the owner, is so nice and made the process seamless.

I honestly wasn't expecting it to turn out this good but wow! The artwork with the buttercream nailed the original image. Flavors: I opted for 4 flavors cookies n' cream, funfetti, Vanilla strawberry filling and chocolate! The chocolate cupcake with the chocolate filling were to die for. Super rich! Will surely be ordering from this place again!

Sent in order/inquiry via email and she was able to communicate effectively all the details that needed to be addressed in the span of a few days. Cake quality: 4.5/5 I originally chose s'mores and guava but because I wasn't sure if two layers would be too much for 2 people serving, I decided with 1 layer and 1 flavor. S'mores flavor was a marshmallow delight, which included a marshmallows buttercream for frosting, chocolate flavor cake, and marshmallows and graham cracker center. I loved that the frosting and cake were not overly sweet but felt that there could've been a bit more graham cracker. Overall: would highly recommend! If you are looking for a fast turn around time, and solid in quality flavor and design, please consider paperrock fork bakery! Also, Cheers to Elmeisher--She really cares and aims to make every cake wonderful and her best work yet. Can't wait to try her bakery again :)
