Cakes are good but I got my daughters cake yesterday and they put it in back wards so I had to take it out the box to cut and sing .

It's not like it use to be after the moved location Prices have changed I feel like cake have gotten smaller

Cake was amazing and tasted like great quality The staff was really nice and helped me out read more

I got a beautifully decorated cake and it tasted delicious. Customer service was helpful and efficient.

Honestly, this is the best bakery in town and possibly in the state. The cakes are always so fresh and fluffy with so much flavor.

I bought a cake a little over a week ago for my daughter's 4th bday birthday. They did a custom rainbow unicorn cake with buttercream mane, complete with gold horn. It was designed beautifully and ready super fast. It was SO delicious. I will never order a cake from Safeway again. It was a 20 person cake and 13 of us ate 90% of it, every person went back for seconds. The filling was chocolate strawberry cream, and I would order it again in a heartbeat. I might order my own birthday cake lol! read more

At first I thought I might've been in the wrong area because it's in the most random place. The door you walk through is on the right and the lady inside was very nice. They had a lot of cute cakes showing decorations inside. In the case they had of stuff for sale were sugar cookies in different designs, some cake slices and a few different Blondies/brownies. We got a red velvet cupcake, a slice of carrot cake, a slice of midnight cake (i believe that was the name), snickerdoodle Blondie and a Florentine. my daughter had to red velvet cupcake and she liked it but didn't like the frosting so she wiped it off. The carrot cake was really good. The filling was a custard which reminded me of Peters bakery in San Jose. The frosting was a little odd it was kind a like a piña colada frosting on top. The cake was fluffy and very tasty. I would order the cake but a different frosting on it. The snickerdoodle Blondie was not very good and it was pretty tiny maybe about a 2 in. Square. The Florentine was the best. It had the custard inside and the chocolate dipped ends. The chocolate cake looked a lot better than it tasted. The cake was pretty dry, the feeling was I guess supposed to be a chocolate mousse and that was tasty but the buttercream on top wasn't very good. Cake slices were an average price at $3.75, The Florentine was about $2.50, the tiny blonde he was almost $2 which it should've been $.75 read more

Freedom Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Watsonville, California

I was planning a surprise for my sister late last year and was in dire need of a cake! I was looking everywhere for a bakery to do a same-day photo copy on a cake and they all said they needed at least a 24 hour notice. I called Freedom Bakery early morning and they said they could do it. The cake turned out amazing, I was so impressed and grateful they took on the challenge. It was a bit more on the pricey side, but the end result and the smile on my sister's face was worth it! read more

Paul is the BEST! We had our wedding at the Monterey Plaza on 5/20/2017, and our cake was absolutely AMAZING!! We kept getting compliments on not only how absolutely BEAUTIFUL it was, but also on how it was the best wedding cake people have ever tasted! It was full in flavor and was perfectly moist! We went with a 4 tier cake, with 2 tiers of red velvet, and 2 tiers of lemon raspberry filling. When we did our cake tasting, we loved the red velvet, however my now husband wanted the cream cheese icing to be richer, and Paul said it was no problem. After my husband tasted the cake, he kept raving about how Paul got the cream cheese icing exactly how he envisioned it! I will upload pictures once I get them back from our photographer, because this cake deserves to be shared! Thank you Paul and team for going above and beyond for our special day! read more

Freedom Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Watsonville, California

For as long as I can remember, Freedom Bakery has been located on Freedom Boulevard in Watsonville. I am not sure whether or not they took into account the name of the street that they were on when selecting a name for their bakery. However they have since moved to a new location and the name of the bakery hasn't changed. Well for the most part - they added "& Confections" to the end of their original company name. I think that keeping their name the same (for the most part) for all these years was a smart move because everyone who has ever experienced the splendors of a baked good from here will equate the name to great tasting desserts! Family owned and operated since 1975, they have been churning out delicious desserts since as long as I can remember! Although their location has changed, the high standard and quality of their baked goods remains consistently the same. Decades passed and they still have the same employees too! It's nice to see that they are as loyal to their employees as much as they are to their customers. They offer birthday cakes, wedding cakes and various desserts for all occasion. Including state of the art: Photo Logoed Cookies. Their logo cookies are delicious buttery shortbreads directly imprinted with a design. No edible paper or transfers used in their process which means no starchy texture, no peeling logos, and no strange aftertastes. Their special food printer allows them to imprint any digital design onto a cookie with precision unlike I've ever seen! They are light and buttery and not overly sweet either. I am not exaggerating when I say that all the shortbread cookies you will have in your lifetime will pale in comparison to these! They use 100% Belgian chocolate on all their cakes and cookies. They print directly on the cakes as well as on cookies, with no edible paper, therefore there is no starchy after taste. They are famous for their chiffon cakes such their Dream Cake, Fresh Strawberry Classic, and The Hawaiian Banana Delight. All of which are my favorite cakes to order from here! My most favorite cake to order from here is the Hawaiian Banana Delight cake. It has orange chiffon cake filled with raspberry and orange-pineapple cream and fresh bananas. Iced with whipped cream. It is so light, with fresh fruit throughout, and you don't feel so guilty after a slice. My second favorite cake to order from here is the Dream Cake. The Dream Cake is a chocolate chiffon cake filled with a generous portion of their delicious whipped cream. Iced with whipped cream with Belgian chocolate shavings on the sides. This cake is both delicious and beautiful! Perfect for the chocolate lover in your life. Watsonville is known for their strawberries so the best time to order a strawberry cake from here is during the summer months when strawberries are in season. The Fresh Strawberry Classic cake has white chiffon cake filled with fresh, local strawberries, a thin layer of strawberry preserve and whip cream and is iced with whip cream. There are additional charges for fresh berry cakes ordered during the off season from November 1st through March 31st. Honestly, I have yet to have a dessert from here that I did not like! Their cakes are amongst the best tasting cakes I've ever had! All the different cakes I've tried from here are light and fluffy. The chiffon cakes are light, delicate, and melt in our mouth. They pair it with whipped cream icing. The whipped cream on the cakes are equally light in texture and not overly sweet without an aftertaste or film left in your mouth, as is common with some pre-made whipped creams. If chiffon cake and whipped cream is not for you, they also have the classic cake and buttercream. The classic cake and buttercream cakes are your traditional cakes with buttercream icing and are denser than the chiffon cakes. Any of the cakes you chose to order from here are not overly bogged down with food dyes, artificial colors, or artificial flavors. Their flavors are pure and unmatched when compared to cakes you can purchase at your local grocery store bakery. The piping and design of their cakes are professional and pretty too! Simple yet elegant is how I can best describe their cake decorating style. Complimentary decorations This is definitely the place to go if you are more about good flavors than trendy and extravagant decorating styles. As for the customer service, the lady taking your order at the front counter has worked there for many years. I remember her when I was a teenager! After all these years she hasn't changed much. She is still patient and knowledgeable of their products and will not rush you as you drool over their glass counter. Other than the lack of sugar free options, I have no complaints. Their prices remain the same as well and don't change too often. Naturally you get what you pay for and their prices are pretty steep when compared to the cakes you can purchase elsewhere in the area. Trust me when I say that they are worth every penny! read more

I had Freedom Bakery recommended to me and my husband by our wedding coordinator. Best recommendation ever! Paul and Tania were able to make my cake vision come true despite the bakery & wedding venue being 3 hours away from our home and during covid restrictions. Tania was able to respond to my concerns in a timely manner. I emailed a picture of my dream cake design and they were able to nail it. The flavor of the cake was delicious as well. We got the raspberry preserve & Italian lemon mousse. There were many flavors to sample during our cake tasting. It was tough to pick a flavor because they were all so good! We got so many compliments from our guests. Their shortbread cookies at the shop are delicious as well. Highly recommend Freedom Bakery! read more

Freedom Bakery - a wedding cake with purple flowers - Bakeries Near Me - Watsonville, California

We had our wedding at Monterey Plaza and Paul is the preferred vendor. He is really professional and delivers! He suggested ideas for design and was really open to new ideas. I was worried that prices might be expensive since he was the only preferred vendor but Paul's prices are very reasonable and the service was notch! We didn't have to worry about anything, it was set up without a hitch and there were no hidden fees. They are really familiar with the Monterey Plaza, the setup/equipment and the staff there so it was breeze. My wedding cake was also delicious! read more

The whole Freedom Bakery crew came through in stellar fashion, creating a delicious work of art to help us celebrate KSQD's 1-year birthday. Numerous attendees took photos and claimed they'd never seen anything quite like it. As to the flavor, it was equally magnificent...several requests for second helpings. All in all, I recommend Freedom Bakery to anyone who wants an outstanding cake to honor a special occasion, with an extra helping of shining customer service. Les F. read more

I ended up booking Freedom Bakery after meeting Paul at his business booth at the Cocoanut Grove Bridal Fair in Jan, 2012. He offered a sample of his popular cake selections and a SWEET deal if we booked with him that day. I liked his cake initially. Taste was not over powering and truthfully it tasted a lot better then the other samples I tasted from other vendors that day. We did our consultation and discussed what I wanted and kaboom... I had a great wedding cake. The mango and cookies and cream were my choices for my tiers and they were so so good! Thank you Paul. Great company and easy hassle-free experience with Freedom. Their cookies are GREAT TOO! : ) read more

Freedom Bakery - MY WEDDING CAKE! Thank you Paul and Freedom. - Bakeries Near Me - Watsonville, California

We were getting married in Carmel and frankly the cake was kind of an afterthought (our families seemed to want it more than us and we did not want any waste). That said, Paul and the staff were SUPER helpful: they assured us that there are cakes that are nice to look at, and ones that get eaten. Ours was DEFINITELY eaten! We did all the ordering over the phone, made 2 payments, and our cake was beautiful and eaten almost entirely! Luckily I got some -- chocolate ganche + vanilla strawberry. They even suggested us getting truffles for the top, delivered the cake and assembled the truffles - a snapshot of the final product is attached. We loved it! Thanks Paul & Crew @ Freedom Bakery! read more

Paul and Freedom Bakery are wonderful! We got married Sept 2013 in Monterey and searched high and low for an affordable and delicious Wedding Cake. Most bakeries either never got back to us (I guess they were too busy baking), charged an arm and a leg for each slice (and charged for cake tasting!). When I met with Paul, I knew he was the one! He was very prompt in replying to emails. He personally did our cake tasting. To save us money, he even suggested that we only chose one flavor (as everyone only gets 1 piece of cake anyways.) We went with a round 3-layer Boston Creme cake. He was very patient, reasonable and had a great personality, so we put down our deposit on the spot. He checked in with me many times before the wedding to make sure of what I wanted and also reminded me to send pictures of what I wanted the cake to look like. On the wedding day, his team arrived promptly and the cake looked better than I could have imagined! Everything was as he said it would be (Cake, Cake topper, flowers). Everyone said that the cake was the tastiest part of the entire meal and even had 2nd and 3rd slices! Thank you again Paul! I'd highly recommend you and your team to any bride! read more

I used Freedom Bakery & Confections for my wedding last year and Paul and the bakery were amazing. When I submitted a request for more information Paul got back to me right away and was so friendly. He was so accommodating to our schedule which was jam packed because we were only in Monterey for a day. When we showed up for the tasting Paul had all of the cakes ready, and there were quite a few, and he explained what was in each one and too notes when we said which ones we liked. My husband and I already knew the design we wanted which we found on their website. What we didn't know was the topper had been provided by the bride and groom. Before I could have a panic attack Paul assured us that he could create the exact toppers we wanted. I knew when we left the bakery our cake was in good hands. And the price was very reasonable. It was actually less than we thought it would be and Paul actually saved us money by steering us in the right direction. He didn't try to sell us anything we didn't need. I never actually saw Paul the day of the wedding but our cake was amazing. We got so many compliments on not only how pretty and original it was but how good it tasted. I cannot stress enough how amazing Paul and his bakery were. I would highly recommend them for any events and I wish we lived closer so that we could enjoy more of their amazing cakes. read more

Our wedding cake from Freedom Bakery was delicious and beautiful! They nailed our vision. We had a tough time choosing which flavors to select because they were all so yummy :) Tania and her team were also super easy to communicate with. 10/10 would recommend! read more

I really don't have to rate them. EVERBODY in Watsonville knows how great they are in every respect.

We used Freedom Bakery for our wedding and had the best experience and cake! We did the cake sampler to find our flavor and had a lot of fun doing that. The cake sampler plate was then deducted from our final order price. The cake at our wedding was delicious and beautifully frosted. They even added a small bite out of the cake with our dog figurine we provided. We can't wait to order another cake for our anniversary later this year! read more

We did our tasting about 5 months prior to our wedding. At first we were turned off by the outcome, given the individual who did the tasting; as well as the limitations we were given with coloring and flavors. I emailed Paul (the owner) and expressed my discontent, who then immediately reviewed the entire cake/cupcake order. He assured me my color choices and pairing flavors was something he could do. He also re-evaluated the sizing for the top cake, as the initial estimated size was too small for our cupcake tower (for no extra charge). I emailed Paul a picture of my cupcake tower, to assist him with his color matching for the top cake and cupcakes and................. check out my seahorse cake / cupcake pic, AMAZING!!!!! We chose Chocolate Ganache (chocolate brown frosting) and White Pistachio flavored cupcakes (teal colored frosting). We had approximately 150 cupcakes, all of which were delivered, set up and matched my color scheme perfectly. Many people raved about the Chocolate Ganache cupcakes too!!!! We had a Monterey Perry House Wedding, if you are looking for an awesome intimate venue. Freedom Bakery is one of their preferred vendors and I would recommend coordinating with Paul for your tasting and design ideas - He is a P.R.O.!!!!! Interested in our cupcake tower for your wedding - shoot me an email :) read more
