Freedom Bakery - Jessica's Bachelors Degree Cake. - Bakeries Near Me - Watsonville, California

I was on a last minute search for a particular cake and struck out a several other bakeries before coming to Freedom Bakery (for the first time!). It was right there in the case, perfect, just what the birthday honoree requested... and so delicious. Often, adults just pick at birthday cake, but everyone devoured their servings. read more

It is so easy to order online and pick up from the bakery. Cakes are delicious--every flavor, but especially their unique fruited options, and beautifully decorated. A freedom bakery cake elevates any event! read more

Not the type to leave a bad review, but the girl that was working the register was rude. In which I don't see a reason why as I was just picking up a cake. read more

Great service! My husband loved the dream slice cake. I will be ordering again for my birthday! So glad I discovered this place!

I had this bakery recommended by several people so I thought i would love it....but sadly that wasnt the case for me. I recently moved to the area from Southern California so I have high expectations for cakes/cupcakes. I will start with the cons: 1. EXTREMELY overpriced for what you actually get!! I paid $98 for 1 dozen cupcakes and 1/4 sheet cake. 2. Cake layers are extremely thin. Im talking about 1 cake split in half. The layer of filling was thicker than the actually layer of cakes. 3. Cake taste was really off I kept getting after tastes of lemon...it was a vanilla chiffon cake 4. I got the strawberry supreme without preservative jam....but there were barely any strawberries in the middle, it was mostly whipped cream. To be paying a premium price ($53 for 1/4 sheet!!) and barely get any strawberries was extremely disappointing. 5. Cupcakes were also very small (none of them were even filled to the top of the cupcake liner) and dry. I expected something bigger for $45 a dozen 6. Cakes slices were also very expensive for the cake slice size given, $5.50 to be exact Pros: 1. Great customer service!! Im really big on it and they truly were exceptional 2. Dream cake and red velvet had good flavor 3. The cake decoration was cute and minimal Overall this bakery was a miss for me. I wouldn't order a cake from here again due to so many cons and price points. Ive ordered custom 2 tier cakes for $135-$150 so to me these were super overpriced for a cake with supermarket quality and size read more

I grew up eating Freedom Bakery cakes. However for the last ten years, I have called Southern California home. Although I visit the Central Coast often; it has been a while since I had a Freedom Bakery cake. So for a big family Mother's Day get together, I decided to order a Lemon Lovers cake. It was exactly like I remembered it from my childhood!!! Soft cake that almost melts in your mouth, delicious fluffy frosting, and it looked too good to eat. BUT that didn't stop us! It was perfect and every mom in our family loved it! Thank you for yet again making a family event so special Freedom Bakery!!! I wish you prosperity and hope that you continue to make special events even more special for 100+ years to come!!! read more

We LOVE Freedom Bakery! My family has been coming here for years. Any celebration- it's always Freedom Bakery. The cake is unlike anything you've ever tasted, great quality, reasonable prices, exceptional customer service, and attention to detail. The website is also super convenient to order cakes ahead of time. Very easy to navigate, even for custom orders. Our favorite go-to cakes are the Boston Crème Pie (donut cake) and the Chocolate Dream Cake. Thank you, Freedom Bakery, for all that you do! Such an important Watsonville staple. read more

We were so glad that we went with Freedom Bakery for our wedding event this past November. They did an outstanding job with both the bride and grooms cake. With the groom's cake in particular we sent them some pictures of what we were thinking about, and they did a phenomenal job of capturing exactly what we wanted! Our guests was cracking up all evening long seeing our groom's cake. And it tasted great also! read more

As per usual I've said it before in my previous review best cake service ever! During this challenging COVID - 19 debacle. I almost gave up the idea of having a cake for my birthday or any kind of celebration party this year. Took tons of convincing from co-workers and family members before i decided to go through with it, and I'm glad i did. If there ever was a place where you want the most impressive, modern and tasteful custom cake, it's freedom bakery. So I got home from work and my family surprised me with a Birthday cake, but not a typical one that I would have order from this place, they got me a San Francisco 49ers custom cake. Thank you Freedom Bakery for making my first quaratine birthday a great one! This is the only place I want my cakes from. A+ service overall. read more

Freedom Bakery - This is the Hawaiian Banana Delight. With a beach look for my husband's birthday party. - Bakeries Near Me - Watsonville, California

I am an event planner and advised my couple to look into Freedom Bakery for their wedding. After taking a look at their work, the couple gave me the go ahead to reach out and confirm availability. The team at the bakery was quick to communicate and created a stunning cake for my couple's wedding day. The cake was delivered on time, setup exactly where it needed to go, and was delicious! Highly recommend them for any event! =) read more

They did two custom birthday cakes for me in the past. One regular size and one small. They turned out to look average. They did let me know beforehand they couldn't do fondant but only buttercream for the designs. But they didn't draw the designs that nice and one part of the body had too much icing so it looked bulging. The buttercream in itself is delicious but the overall taste of the cakes were a C+. The customer service I received during the back and forth conversation regarding ordering my cakes was great. But today I called close to closing time to ask basic questions and the woman on the phone sounded annoyed right off the bat. That threw me off because so many other times I've contacted FB they've been nice. For what your customers have to pay for your cakes you'd think you'd be nicer to them. My cakes were over $100 when I had them done. The inside of the place is very small and they only have few options for single cookies or brownies. The parking lot is small too read more

We were staying in an Airbnb at Pajaro Dunes for my daughters birthday so was super excited to find this. . I ordered the beach theme cake from their website, with the Hawaiian Banana delight flavor! Omg...sooo good!!! So flavorful, with big pieces of bananas and we added strawberries. The filling was like a sorbet and everyone loved it! We picked the beach design from the site and they did a wonderful job. The kiddies loved it! The bakery is super cute great customer service. If we return to Watsonville I will be sure to make a stop again. read more

Freedom Bakery - So pretty! - Bakeries Near Me - Watsonville, California

My husband and I were set to get married in June 2020, but we postponed to June 2021. In April 2021, we reached out to all of our vendors. However, our original bakery had unfortunately gone out of business. Our caterer recommended Freedom to us. We reached out to them, and Freedom got back to us right away. The owner talked to us on the phone with us for over an hour, putting us at ease and helping our vision come to life. They were so reliable and made our dessert dream a reality. We didn't even have the opportunity to taste any of the desserts, so we put all of our faith into them. Our wedding cake was so beautiful and was absolutely delicious. MANY of our guests raved about how delicious the cake was. We also had small desserts passed around, which were all huge hits. We couldn't recommend Freedom any more! We can't wait to eat the top of our cake on our one year anniversary. read more

I first visited Freedom Bakery when we moved to Watsonville 3 years ago, and I was looking for a bakery for my sister's baby shower. We ordered a couple of cakes from this shop, and the compliments were endless. So, I have made it a family tradition to order special occasion cakes from here. Most recently, we ordered a Peppa the Pig cake from the Bakery for my daughter's 3rd birthday party, and we were again amazed by the tasty, beautifully decorated creation. Thank you for helping to make my family's celebrations extra special! read more

Always have good anb efficient service and make our cake's looking great and the filling a Plus with a fresh strawberries

I had been having major difficulty trying to get a (quite simple) wedding cake from another bakery when I contacted Freedom Bakery. The difference in communication levels was astounding. I emailed the photos with the two ideas I wanted combined. First, unlike the other bakery, Freedom Bakery's owner Paul said there was no problem to combine gold leaf and a ribbon. Then, because a cake based on my guest count would be just two layers, he suggested adding faux tier to make the cake 3 layers like the photo, and look more complete. It was a real eye opener, an option I didn't know even existed -- the other bakery never mentioned it. We had a phone call appointment, but about 15 minutes before our appointment time he messaged to let me know he was running late and when he *would* be able to talk. He called at the revised time. These are people who think and act with precision. We discussed the ribbon, its color on the frosting, its placement on the cake, and where it would be cut, and gold leaf on buttercream vs fondant. I was again astounded by the precision and detail. He wants everything to look perfect, thinks about how the photographs will be aligned, thinks about how the cake will be cut. It's clear that he knows and values the importance of this day. I came away from our conversation knowing exactly what to expect to see on the cake, how to manage the cake ceremony, and explicitly agreeing that these things were fully acceptable to me. We scheduled a tasting with Paul's wife, Anna. They offer just chocolate, white, and red velvet cake flavors, but the fillings were the show stoppers. Distinct and unique flavors, and quite a variety. I was pretty tempted by mango, but in the end the raspberry amaretto won out. Nothing was overly sweet, which helps the other flavors to come to the front. (Light years better than the grainy, oversweetened sample I'd tried at the other place.) Anna has the same care for design as Paul. We had liked the idea of rotated layers for a slight spiral effect, but she grabbed some styrofoam squares and showed us how it would detract from other design elements. Freedom is in the middle range of pricing -- our cake is approximately a pinch over $10/serving -- but you will feel heard, your ideas will be seriously considered, and either they will be embraced, or you will be given concrete reasons why not. This level of care is amazing. You will not regret going with these guys. Wedding day: cake was mostly as expected. The filling flavor was a little less distinct than we had at tasting, but the cake was moister. Appearance was as good as imagined and the cutting ceremony went exactly as Paul had explained. read more

Freedom Bakery - My perfect square cake with ribbon and gold leaf -- thank you Freedom Bakery! - Bakeries Near Me - Watsonville, California

Great cakes with attentive service. The team was flexible in achieving my decorating goals. We went with fresh strawberries and cream. Not cloyingly sweet, just delicious and light. So happy to support a community legend. Their on-line ordering platform is easy to navigate. read more

Freedom Bakery made my dream wedding cake! I like it that they have a sample option to try 9 flavors before you make you decision! We had 2-3 zoom calls before finalizing all details. I really appreciate Paul's expertise and patience on all of our questions! The Pinterest collection of the cakes they did in the past gave us a lot of ideas. On the wedding day, he actually delivered it in person, and set it up himself with flowers and berries!! In the beginning I was a bit concerned that the silk flowers would look fake and cheap, but it turned out really beautiful! Paul is not only super knowledgeable about cakes, but also has great aesthetic taste! Many many thanks to Freedom Bakery! I see why they get 5 stars now! read more

Absolutely my most favorite bakery in town. If I don't get a dream cake for my birthday from freedom bakery I am not a happy person.

Make sure you read the fine print at the very bottom of the PDF that states if you want a round cake they need a 10 day notice. We wanted to make our cake round for our wedding and they couldn't make an exception even though we were asking 7 days in advance. Our family has always loved freedom bakery but I can promise I will never go there again or recommend it to anyone. read more

This place is the BEST!! So happy I just discovered them. I'm a huge baker myself. I love that I can get unique things there like Mango Coconut Cake.

My parents ordered their cookies online and had them shipped to my apartment across the country (CA to NY). They shared with me that the whole online ordering process was seamless and that they were very impressed with the quick and timely shipping and delivery of my order. I got their 'Shelter in Place' cookies (butter shortbread with sugar icing) and they were super delicious... I normally don't like sweets too much but these are well-balanced and not too sweet/buttery. I'm excited to pair a cookie with my next cup of coffee. Not only did they taste great, the cookies were also decorated well, conveyed a happy/positive message, and packaged very nicely! I am looking forward to ordering my next treats from them & I highly recommend FB&C for your future needs for any and all baked goods! read more
