I was looking for a local vendor for a cake for my parents' vow renewal. This was a bit of a last minute ordeal so I wasn't planning on getting much productive feedback. I reached out via email, gave Ms. Stella some options, then she met with my parents so that they could choose exactly what they wanted. She offered them a tasting and even brought the samples to their house at their discretion. On the day of the special occasion, Ms. Stella was the first vendor to get to the house and set up. The cake was just lovely and tasted even better. Our guest list exceeded about 50 people and almost everyone asked about the company we went through for the beautiful cake. Beautiful presentation, professional, prompt and flexible from the beginning. We will surely use Ms. Stella going forward for our special occasions!

A beautiful cake, artistically decorated without being garish? Look no further than Pesteh bakery. It took some research on my part to find a family-run bakery in Durham region. After a few very difficult years, many local businesses are trying to regain their footing, if indeed they were able to weather the storm. Pesteh fit my bill for a family-run, small business that makes unique, cheffy and artistic cake creations. The two cakes I ordered, Chocolate and the signature Pistachio, looked and tasted like nothing I could ever make. I am no dessert chef. My guests didn't even ask if I'd made the two cakes, but rather, where did I order them from? Pesteh's cakes taste every bit as remarkable as the look of their decorations. The chocolate cake had a pronounced chocolate, rather than merely sugary, taste. The pistachio cake sang with bright color and pistachio flavour. Wow. Just, wow. Not only did Pesteh provide us with cakes to show with pride, but also, the thoughtful owners gave us instructions on how to carefully store leftovers. Not that there were any leftovers. Guests were asking for seconds! Are you looking for an epic cake for that special birthday, anniversary, or holiday feast? Pesteh is conveniently located in Ajax, and I am sure that you will not be disappointed. In fact, quite the reverse! Now I know where I will get my dessert for the next special-occasion event!

She accommodated my request and compromised on time for pick up. She followed up with me as I picked up the cupcakes because I got lost in her neighbourhood. She also followed up with me the day after to see if everything was okay. Overall, I highly recommend her. It's good to support small businesses like hers! They really care about quality amd service.

Me and my…read moregirlfriends were looking to get cupcakes for my friend's bachelorette party that wouldn't be too far away for me to pick up. I had seen on instagram a few friends that had gone to Cocoa Berry and decided to check it out, as it's actually pretty close to me. I called the owner Channel during the week to pick up cupcakes for Saturday of the same week. She answered right away and was ready to take my order. She offered me alternatives to work with our budget, and even went out to the stag shop to really make them bachelorette worthy. They were ready and boxed for me on Saturday afternoon to pick up, even though I was running late. There is ample amount of underground parking available. They also have other items that you can get like jerk chicken! I am going to have to come back for that. The cupcakes were jumbo and frosted with goodness. It was moist and not overly sweet. My girlfriend loves vanilla cupcakes, and as do I, and it was made to perfection. The toppers were a great touch as she printed out bachelorette themed prints, as well as the bride to be's event logo, which she loved. Very reasonably priced and great response time. Will be coming back!

Nutella croissant, pistachio cream filled. Staff super friendly took my order gave recommendations. Croissant was crispy versus buttery had a decent amount of Nutella in there. Not sure if it's more crispy vs buttery or just end of day. The pistachio filled donut was heavy filled with whip cream delicious and not lactose friendly. Tiramisu good on the sweeter side not too heavy on coffee flavor whip cream and cake bottom. Not super traditional but it's okay. 3 separate counters to order different food items this place can get quite full. Little bit hard to find the price on the items it's not listed with the food itself. In the middle of the place there are tables and chairs to sit and eat at which is nice. Not just a take out spot. Great especially in the winter. Havent had a chance to try the prepared foods or pizza that is for the next visit!

You need to be sure to show up as early as possible, or they run out. The staff is friendly and very helpful.
