I'm not one to believe in fairtytales, but as the story goes, Cindarella's fairy godmother (don't…read morebelieve in those either) turned a pumpkin into a beautiful glittery stage coach. Now, and you'll have to stay with me here, if I were to make claymation video of the transformation, I would definitely ask Sarah Lindsay to play the fairy godmother. Not only because I've always wanted to make a claymation video, but also because the pumpkin cake she made for us, really a chocolate cake shaped like a pumpkin, was the most artfully decorated pumpkin-shaped cake I'd ever laid my eyes on. Yeah, imagine it, a cake, shaped like, a pumpkin. Hand-carved out of sugar paste (kinda like marzipan), dyed a bright Halloween orange, and dusted with shimmery edible glitter, the cake could have totally been frame 27 of the Cinderella pumkin-stagecoach transformation. And the chocolate cake inside was moist, rich, and dense - just the indulgent way chocolate cake should be.

My review is a little late but Sarah did cupcakes for my wedding back in September. A couple of…read morethings about my wedding made it a logistical nightmare for vendors: it was in the Berkeley hills where there is no cell reception and we had a brunch wedding so vendors had to be there early to drop everything off. Sarah was incredible about working with all of these issues and didn't complain once. From the first cake tasting, she really wanted to make sure we enjoyed ourselves and enjoyed the experience. We tasted with her in July and there were a dozen cupcakes for my (now) husband and I to try. She made all custom flavors for us. He's a peanut butter and chocolate freak so she made about 3 different options of this combo. So thoughtful. My favorite were the ones with the raspberry filling-I still have dreams about these at night. We chose 3 different flavors for the wedding day. Our colors for the wedding were navy and orange and Sarah had such amazing attention to detail, she made sure everything matched. She ordered navy cupcake papers and edible orange pearls for the top of the cupcakes. She sought my approval and feedback with every detail. I reiterate, her attention to detail is unmatched. On the day of, I snuck out of hiding to specifically give Sarah a big hug before she had to leave. She was genuinely happy to see me-not just the obligatory "you look pretty" some of the other vendors gave. She was so prepared, she even came with signs for each flavor of cupcake so guests knew what flavor they were eating. And because we ordered an odd number there were some leftover she gave us FREE. So generous!! Post wedding, all my drunk friends and family loved the leftover cupcakes and even weeks after people were still talking about these. I absolutely loved working with Sarah and look forward to continuing to order cakes through her!

I recently had them make my baby shower cake and no exaggeration, every single guest commented on how amazing the cake was. It was beautiful on the outside, but what set it apart was how great it was on the inside. My cake was a two tier cake with a combination filling of pink velvet and almondine-mocha layer tied together with a luscious cream cheese frosting...it was simply divine! What I really enjoyed about my experience was the owner; she's super low key and really listens to what you want. I gave her my ideas and she really worked with me; she also gave me a bunch of really helpful advice/ideas so that we could come up with the perfect cake.

I mainly communicated with Anya on Instagram and from the beginning to the end (and after) Anya so wonderful to work with. My son's 1st birthday was extra special thanks to Anya's beautiful dessert table and cake. Even on the day of the event, Anya brought her wooden set up, set up all the dessert (worked well with other vendors too) without any issues. She had no questions for me, instead I went with all her recommendations. I was so stress free because I could see she knew what she was doing - Everything was perfect! All the desserts tasted so good that our guests asked to take the left overs home! I highly recommend Anya. She will definitely be my go-to vendor for future events. Thank you for everything Anya!
