I've had Jen's Cakes bookmarked since my wedding in 2019. When it came time to plan my son's first birthday party, I knew I wanted to reach out to Jen's Cakes and nobody else. I ordered a two-tiered racing themed cake, smash cake, cupcakes, and cookies. About 2 weeks before the party, I went in and met with Shavon to brainstorm the design of the cakes/cookies. I also had very specific dietary restrictions for the cake/cupcakes (no sugar, no salt). Shavon was able to accommodate all my requests. I was honestly shocked when I saw the cakes. Her cakes are stunning. (And they also taste good!) The best part of my order were the cookies. I ordered a total of 4 dozen cookies (various shapes/designs). They were delicious (not the least bit dry!) AND all so beautifully decorated. I've attached a photo of the cookies and you can also see part of the cake in the background. If you want a beautiful custom cake and/or custom sugar cookies, don't bother searching anywhere else. Shavon and her team are truly talented and also the nicest people! read more

I reached out pretty last minute for help with our son's birthday party, and luckily, they were available. The cake they made looked exactly like the picture I sent them. We got so many comments about how delicious the cake was, and people especially appreciated that the cake frosting was not overly sweet. I will definitely reach out again to them in the future! read more

Inquired through Yelp and got a response fairly quickly to email them. Shavon was super quick in responding, even though I ordered the cake I wanted only a few days before I needed it. I sent about three pictures of inspiration of how I wanted the cake, and everything was taken care of after that. Cake was delivered on time and looked great! I also love how there's a big variety of flavors to choose from. read more

It was a pleasure to work with Custom Cakes by Shavon. Shavon is a very friendly, sweet, and generous baker. She communicated clearly on the phone and understood that we wanted the teachers to feel special and loved with mini-pies on Pi Day. We decided on five different berry flavors of vegan pies. On the arrival day, she surprised us by packaging the pies in individual containers labeled with type of pie, a sticker, a thank you wafer, and a mini spoon. Shavon went above and beyond with free delivery of the pies to the front of the school. These to-go pies were well received by all the teachers and staff and very easy to pass out as well. read more

Jen's Cakes did an amazing job for my sisters bridesmaids proposal cookies! Shavon was so easy to work with and had great communication through the whole process of deciding what I wanted.

I will for sure be ordering my cakes and cookies from here moving forward! read more

I chose Jens Cakes because of the wonderful and freakishly talented Shavon!!! Not only did my wedding cake need to be Gluten-Free, but we had a black/white marble theme, AND we can't stand fondant, and wanted buttercream frosting. Shavon is AMAZING!!!!!! YOU COULD NOT TELL THIS CAKE WAS GF!!! Everyone at the wedding was raving about how good this cake was. Thank goodness we took the top layer off after cutting it, bc it was completely GONE before we could get a slice!! It should have fed over 50 people, and there was only 42 people there!!! (I think I know who went back for 2nds or 3rds lol) In fact, the cake was so delicious, I have to order another small one for the Mr and I, so we have something to eat on our 1 year anniversary. We were SUPPOSED to put our third tier in the freezer...but it's so freaking good, we can't stop eating it!!!! Now, onto how gorgeous the marble buttercream frosting turned out!!! I don't know if it was more beautiful, than delicious!! Seriously!! I can add a pic, but it won't do this work of art the justice it deserves. I can't show you how good it tastes, because 1) I don't know you. 2) There isn't anymore!!! Shavon is the sweetest, hardest working, incredibly funny, most generous person I've met in a very long time. I will be going to her (and HER ONLY) as long as she will be local!!! And who knows..if she leaves the area, I just might stalk her. Sorry Shavon, your fault!!! Addicting cakes!!!!!! read more

The service alone deserves 5 stars. I emailed Jen about ordering a half and half cake. Because I anticipated the answer I asked if it'd be OK to order 2 different cakes so she can use it to make it a half an half. Although a strange request but Jen was able to accommodate my request. After a day in Santa Cruz we came by to pickup the cake in the afternoon on a Saturday. It is easy to miss because you will not see this bakery from the street... just follow your GPS or make sure you stop when following the address sequence down Lincoln Ave. Shortly after picking up the cake I had Tess blow out the candles and make a wish. As we were cutting the cake, I made sure to cut it completely in half so we can see the inside. The red velvet and the cookies and cream are decadent, smooth, and not overly rich. now that I'm older I appreciate sweet treats w/o making me feel sick after eating it. Both kids enjoyed the cake very much. I'd definitely order from Jen again. Oh, if you are wondering what happened to the other 2 halves, I had it boxed for consumption. It was so nice of them to ice it and decorate the second cake. read more

I don't normally post 2 star reviews but we were honestly just so disappointed with our cake. We chose Jen's cakes because the pictures looked great and they said they could do a shaped cake. I'm not a cake expert but the design felt relatively simple and we contacted them weeks in advance. You can see in my photo what we were expecting and what we got. Yes it *technically* was a round shape with a face, but it just felt so distorted (bizarrely tall, no dimpling at the top, eyes and smile placement is off, no blushy cheeks). My husband said it looked like Jack from Jack in the Box, I thought it looked like a snowman head. The only good thing was the raspberry cream cheese filling. We chose chocolate faustine as the cake flavor, which was described as a creamier chocolate. I don't know what it was supposed to be like, but our cake texture was just really dense and kinda dry. We splurged and paid $140 for this 7" round cake (for context, this cost half of what I paid for my wedding cake which was for 100+ guests!) because we wanted something special for our baby's first birthday. We really had higher hopes :( Giving 2 stars because the staff/people were nice. read more

My sister chose to purchase her wedding cake from Jen's Cakes. We first arrived for the tasting about 4 or 5 months prior to the wedding. I attended along with the Bride, and my nephew. We were greeted immediately upon entering (the location is kind of funky and parking is awful nearby). We were given one plate with about 8 samples on it. We tried and tested each one - wish we had coffee to go along with that much cake in the morning. We ended up choosing something with raspberry, and something with green tea. There were some slight issues the days before the event with my sister's succulent decorations but it wasn't anything earth shattering. The cake ended up being lovely and the green tea was BOMB. Moist, soft, delicious goodness that was devoured by the bridal party a day later. I would recommend Jen's business to any brides and grooms who are looking for a pretty simple and easy wedding cake experience. read more

One month before my daughter's 1st yr bday I was scrambling to find a custom cake bakery. I usually use Marvel Cake in Campbell who I used in previous years for my eldest daughter's bdays. But sadly they were not responding to my order request this year. It must have been too short of a notice. Anyway, I heard about Jen's Cakes from a close friend. On yelp, the pictures of their cakes looked amazing and equivalent to the ones at Marvel Cake so I reached out for two birthday cakes for 2 different bdays (for my 2 daughters). This is when I discovered that Jen's Cakes was now under new ownership and the new owner's name is Shavon. She confirmed with me that she received my pictures and she said that they would be able to make the cakes as shown in the pics. The two cakes requested: 1) the little mermaid cake for my 4 yr old and 2) traditional Korean- inspired cake for my 1 yr old. 1 week before the first cake pick up, I got a phone call from Shavon who said that she could not use or make Disney characters on the cake due to copyrights and stated that I would need to buy a cake popper by Disney. Then I told her no need to make it "Disney" and to use any mermaid decoration. (At this point I should have looked up pictures and send one to her to replicate). On the day of pickup at 9 am, Shavon was running late and asked if I wanted my daughter's name on the cake and I responded yes. She had other excuses why she was late and she stated that she had been very busy blah blah and that her decorator missed something. I was empathetic towards her and told her not to worry. However, when the cake was presented to me, I was a bit disappointed at the product. I was expecting something beautiful as the cakes that I have received in the past. The decoration overall looked tacky and cheap. Also the name was just hand traced with the frosting like they do at the grocery store. But I accepted the cake because it might be something that a 4-year-old would still be impressed by --the mermaid tail, vertical twisted sea plant, and little sea shells. To be honest, I thought that it was a cake that someone decorated for a school project. It did not look professional. On the 2nd day for cake #2, I get a text at 8:21 am that my cake would be ready for pickup at 11 am, instead of the already established pick up time of 9 am. I live almost an hr away and the party was supposed to start at 12 pm. The text also did not apologize or acknowledge any inconvenience that this delay may have caused. So I was a bit annoyed by that. Finally, at 11 am, I went to pick up cake and the cake was presented to me. I was in shock. It looked nothing like the cake in the picture. As she was showing me the cake and pointed at this white flower on top of second tier, she said that she knows that it does not look like the flower in the photo but stated that it was 25 dollars (as if that would make it ok that she didn't follow my picture?). The flower looked strange too as if it was missing something. It looked like a blank canvas that should have been colored. It was ugly and I wanted to cry. It was not the fact that it looked so different from the picture that it was upsetting me so much. It was poorly designed. I have no cake decorating skill but I probably could have made it better. There was no skill in the creation. I probably should have refused to take the cake and asked for reimbursement in that moment in time but It was already the day of the party and I was running late. Maybe I could have just stopped by Safeway and picked up a cake that did not look hideous. I sent a text to Shavon and expressed my dissatisfaction. She said that she loved the cake and thought that the cake looked exactly like the picture which tells me that she does not have an artistic/aesthetic eye; she has no attention to detail. I will post photos of cakes below of what I asked for and what I got from her. She did ask how she can fix the situation but there was really nothing that she can do on the day of the bday and she already delayed my time by 2 hrs. I had to resend the same pic that I already emailed to her initially. And then she starts to acknowledge the differences, specifically about the flowers, between pic and product. She started to blame the print of the picture as to why they made a cake that looked so different. She then proceeds to saying that the client should bring in the flower. Then i said, you should have communicated with me, before the day of the pickup! Then excuse after excuse... that she is new at the business, she's short-staffed etc. it was very poor business etiquette. Customers don't want to hear that you're a mess and do not have it together. If you want a beautiful custom cake and you're spending $$$, go elsewhere because you're not going to get it here read more

Let me save you some time. If you're looking for a cake that looks as good as it tastes, and they taste amazing, look no further. Seriously. Now the in depth version for the doubters. I work at a local business in San Jose and everyone in our office has everyone else's birthday marked on their calendars. Not because we are all looking forward to buying gifts. Simply put we are looking forward to a cake from Jen's Cakes. Although we all have our own favorites we really don't mind taking a slice or two from all the cakes because they are all amazing. From the white chocolate, the confetti to the red velvet, they all look great and ,oddly enough, we never have left overs. Once the office knows someone on our team is having a birthday people we haven't seen for days start to mysteriously swing by until they just happen to spot whatever masterpiece Jen's has created for us. So yes, do yourself a favor and buy a cake here but be forewarned it won't be your last. read more

After many hours of scouring the Santa Clara, San Jose, Sunnyvale and Palo Alto geographical areas for a reputable bakery, my now wife and I decided to pick Jen's Cakes for our wedding cake. This proved to be the absolute correct decision. From the first phone call, to the private tasting and finally the moment we devoured the cake at our reception dinner; everything was flawless. Sarah, was an extremely knowledgeable and personable woman who assisted us the whole way during the delightfully amazing experience. The cake tasting was a wonderful private encounter for my then fiance and I. We ended up choosing a naked style Chocolate Bailey's Cake with White Chocolate Mousse & Toffee Filling topped with Butter Cream Icing. It had us at first bite. Second bite. It still has us. There were no hiccups, issues or delays with our cake. It was finished on the exact timeline provided to us and even met our strict timeline needs when most bakeries wouldn't. Sarah was there communicating with us every step of the way and even let me borrow a cake stand when I picked up our beautiful finished cake. I can't say enough how happy my wife and I are with the experience we had with Jen's Cakes. (It's a bit hard to find and hard to park, BUT WELL WORTH IT!) We will be using Jen's Cakes again in the future anytime we need a trustworthy baker who delivers a stunning cake. Thanks again, Sarah! -Zackary and Annmarie read more

Overall, the cake was fine. I thought the design could have been a little better (the gold flakes looked slapped on) and for an extra $25 I asked for some live greens on the side, but it was plastic (and clearly looked plastic). We asked for a 2 tier cake with the top as red velvet and cream cheese, the bottom was vanilla with raspberry filling. The red velvet was very, very dry. The raspberry filling was just a tiny bit, nothing like I imagined. Overall, it was fine but just could have been better. read more

My husband and I did some research looking for someone to make our wedding cake. We weren't looking for anything fancy or elaborate. We wanted simple and elegant. We found Jens cake on Yelp. From beginning to the end of our experience (the day of our wedding) was a fantastic.' Jennifer was always prompt in returning our calls and emails. We made an appointment to do a cake tasting, which I highly recommend. We ended up picking something we never would have if we didn't do the tasting. Our wedding cake was gorgeous and very us. We decided on the raspberry filling with white cake. (I don't recall all the details, name of it or frosting) Our wedding cake and cupcakes were a total hit. We got rave reviews from our guests wanting to know where it came from. By far the best cake I've ever had! I can't wait for our 1 year anniversary to have a small one made. :) Her prices are very reasonable and her final product is well worth every penny! She's very talented and we look forward to ordering cakes in the future. Thanks Jennifer and team! Your the best! 9/14/19!! Jen and team knocked it out of the park again!! Our daughters bday cake was absolutely perfect! The outside was so adorable and the inside was the same cake flavor we had at our wedding! It was so yummy read more

Should have written a review for this place a while ago but it's always seemed to slip my mind. Customized fondant cake: top layer was vanilla and bottom layer was chocolate with cookies n cream filling. Paid extra for the edible Ace/King of Spades. Ordering the cake over the phone was a breeze. Great customer service and very easy to talk to. They took my payment right over the phone so I didn't have to go all that way prior to simply picking it up. Cake was stunning and did its job regarding the whole 'WOW-factor'.... Unfortunately the cake was dry and the filling didn't taste like cookies n cream at all!! This was my first time ordering fondant and didn't realize how thick and overbearing the taste was. FYI- from what I hear: I got ripped off by what they charged for my cake. MuLtipLe friends ordered customized fondant cakes elsewhere- some two tiered- and paid a fraction of what I did. (just something to keep in mind, do your research) read more

I love weddings. Seriously, I love weddings. So much so that I will go to weddings as a +1 even when I don't have a clue who is getting married. So, keep me in mind if you ever need a wedding date. =o) And of course, one of the best parts of weddings is the wedding cake. Jen's Cakes made the cake for my friend's wedding back in 2009, and I still have not had a better slice of cake. It was so good that my friend and I stuffed our faces with about 5 slices of cake each before leaving the wedding. Literally. Lucky for me, my friend's sister is getting married this year and I got to go along for the cake tasting. Score! The lady helping us was so helpful and accommodating. The bride-to-be was running late because of traffic, but they still let us do the cake tasting even though the bride-to-be didn't get there until an hour after the scheduled appointment. They had a lot of pictures and a few models of cake designs to show us, and thanks to all their helpful suggestions, the perfect cake was ordered. Note: The location is slightly hard to find -- if you can find 1053 Lincoln Ave, just look behind the shop. It threw me off that I found 1053 Lincoln without a Ste number, and the alley leading behind the shop didn't look very inviting. The shop itself doesn't have any big signage. read more
