    This was my second time ordering a custom cake here, and they've once again gone above and beyond. Not only was the design exactly what I envisioned, but the flavor (we chose chocolate cake with strawberry mousse and fresh strawberries) was even more amazing. Moist, fresh, and perfectly balanced--not overly sweet. Pickup was smooth, and the cake was ready right on time. When a place delivers consistent quality, friendly service, and delicious results--twice in a row--it's worth shouting out. Highly recommend for birthdays, celebrations, or any sweet occasion! Thank you Ji for the amazing cake for my husband.

    I am so happy with the cupcakes for my husband's 50th birthday celebration. Each cupcake wonderfully represented a hobby or interest of his. Our party guests were blown away with the artistry!! And they tasted phenomenal! Vanilla, chocolate, and red velvet were all fabulous. We won't hesitate to order again in the future!

    Hermes cake
    Michael H.

    I am going to kick off 2025 with my first review on Ji's bakery. To provide some context, I organized a SURPRISE birthday party for my wife with a custom cake. The biggest concern is that my wife can read me like a text book so I didn't think I can pull it off. But I did it!!! Please note that I had Ji's Cake boutique bookmarked for quite some time. It was just a matter of me figuring out when to execute my plan. Anyway, what you can do is go on her website to provide her details. We then communicated pretty much via text messages about the design and options. I asked her if she can come up with an Hermes like cake, which I am attaching a picture. The flavors available are: strawberry, vanilla, and chocolate. Ji mentioned that the best seller is the strawberry flavor so that's what I went with. Honestly, I had my doubts because most of the time you hear that custom cakes would look good but does not taste great. But in this case, I can vouch that the design of the cake is amazing and the cake tasted fantastic. My wife is super detail oriented and even she was mightily impressed with both the design and taste of the cake. This is absolutely a work of art!!! By the way, Ji was able to deliver the cake and I was able to pay her via Zelle. I also gave her more than a week noticed. I would totally recommend her for these custom cakes for special occasions.

    Ji did my husband's birthday cake for his 40th birthday. It was absolutely incredible!! I asked for a Jurassic Park theme, and she made the most amazing creation. Everyone said it was the most beautiful cake they'd ever seen. On top of how amazing the cake looked, it also tasted absolutely incredible! I can't recommend her enough. She will truly create a work of art for you! Thank you Ji!!

    Thank you, Ji's Cake Boutique for this beautifully made and well thought of wedding cake. This cake is a work of art. This cake looks so beautiful in photos and in person. All the details such as the bride and groom cake topper, the flowers on it and the vibrant pink colors... simply breathtaking. We love that this cake is layered with fresh strawberries inside. We enjoyed having this cake. We received a lot of compliments from our guests how beautiful and tasty this cake is. I recommend this business to anyone.

    Labubu cookies

    I've had Ji's cakes and pastries a few times at my friend's kids' birthday parties, so I already knew how pretty and tasty they are. Last Christmas, I ordered her cupcakes for dessert, and they were a big hit with everyone. For my daughter's 11th birthday, we ordered a Labubu cake and cookies, and they were amazing! All the girls at the party loved them. They were so cute and fun, and Labubu is really popular right now. The cake even came with a real Labubu figure, which my daughter was so excited about! I live in Las Vegas, so it's definitely a bit of a drive but I still made arrangements to pick up Ji's cake and cookies because I really wanted them for my daughter's party. Ji was super friendly and easy to work with. She even helped me figure out the closest pickup spot, which made everything so much easier. I really appreciated that! Everything looked beautiful, just like I expected, but what I loved most was that the cake and cookies tasted really good. I'm not a fan of desserts that are too sweet, but Ji's desserts are just right. My daughter even said Ji's cake and cookies were the best gift from the party! Thank you, Ji, for making my daughter's birthday extra special! I highly recommend her if you want something fun, beautiful, and delicious for your next celebration.

    My sister's birthday cake
    Elli D.

    I contacted JI's short notice. I explained to her what I was looking for for my sister's birthday cake. She told me she would 100% be able to fulfill this. I called her on a short notice, three days before I needed the cake and she executed it flawlessly! Better than I even imagined! It's absolutely beautiful. The tufting and the pearls were absolutely perfection! I would 100% recommend this business.

    I ordered a cake for my husband's 30th birthday and Ji most definitely OVERDELIVERED. Not only was it visually amazing, but it tasted ever better than it looked. The ordering/selection process was also very seamless. Great service all around with quick turnaround times & speedy responses. Thank you for everything!

    Looove Ji's cakes. She creates the most beautiful cakes! But that's not the only reason why she became my go to person for parties. Her cakes are absolutely delicious. So light, fluffy, and full of fresh strawberries. And of course, Ji is so easy to work with and she never disappoints. Highly recommend!!!

    Beautiful detail on these edible butterflies!

    Ji was just a pleasure to work with!! My cake is beautiful and tastes amazing!! I am so happy with the experience, the product and how smooth delivery was. Fantastic!!

    Called to order a custom cake and was able to connect with Ji. She was very candid and helpful about the whole process! Her cakes look good and taste great! Everyone at the party truly enjoyed her cake. It was the right amount of sweetness (not overtly sweet) and extremely moist. She also delivers for free if the location is in irvine. Would 100% work with her again as she's extremely responsive.

    Vanilla cake with berry mousse filling
    D R.

    I was surprised with this beautiful cake for my 40th birthday and it couldn't have been more perfect. My boyfriend wanted to surprise me with a special cake. I was nervous because, ladies you know. He ended telling me stories, so I'm grateful for whomever he spoke with because they talked him out of choosing some odd filling options. He means well but flavor profiles can be tough lol! Nevertheless, he did perfect! The exterior was gorgeous! I didn't want to cut it but so glad I did because it tasted equally as lovely. This was a vanilla cake (favorite) with a berry mousse. It was light and airy. And the frosting wasn't overly sweet, which I find in a lot of other cakes. I would highly recommend Ji's for your special occasion!

    I stopped by this spot after getting lunch right next door…read more I had no idea what type of place this was, but I did notice quite a few folks going in. I found the inside decor a bit unexpected, the green walls, the dark vibe with gold accents. It reminded me of a chic lounge or den. I was happy to see they sold drinks and baked goodies. I wasn't in the mood for coffee or a drink, but decided to check out the sweet treats. I was so excited they had Portuguese egg tarts. I am very familiar with the Asian egg tarts, but I haven't had the Portuguese kind. I was eyeing up the banana pudding, but I decided to not get it. Prices seemed a bit high so we just went for 4 egg tarts. We relaxed a bit while our order was ready. They warmed them up, I decided to try one since I am not from this area. MY, oh MY, oh my!!!!!!!!?!!!!!?!!?!!! They were so good, the outside was super flakey, not greasy. The egg center was warm, not too 'eggy' and the sweetness level was just perfect. They were honestly to die for. I contemplated for a few minutes to BUY MORE even though I had only eaten one. I thought, I'm not from this area, so I might as well get more! I ended up getting 5 more, each tart leans on the expensive side for how small they are, but they are mighty delicious!!! I also decided to try the sea salt chocolate chip cookie: Classic Cookie. Traditional components with a dash of sea salt to accentuate the taste of rich imported Belgian chocolate Egg tarts: 5/5!!!!! Honestly when I put in my 2nd order, I couldn't help myself to tell the people behind me how dang good the egg tarts are... They told me they ended up getting some just because I mentioned it.. The salted chocolate cookie looked different to me, it is shaped like a mound. I thought this was good, full of chocolate and the sea salt was good. Would I order it again? Maybe, maybe not. 3/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Food: 4/5

They were busy with a lot of Mother's Day weekend rush, but the staff was friendly to everyone with big smiles and they were moving the line along as quickly as possible. I picked up my usual favorite slices: Carrot Cake Slice ($8.49), Tropical Coconut Slice ($8.99), and Old-Fashioned Chocolate Slice ($8.99). They were moist and delicious! Sometimes, the Tropical Coconut can be slightly dry, but it was perfectly moist when I had it this past weekend. They had a really cute May 4th Grogu cake on display and I just think that they not only make delicious cakes, but their cake decorating skills are on point! SusieCakes is worth the splurge!

After waiting for someone to help me, I walk up to the counter and ask if it was possible to pick up a cake that I ordered. The result was the male sales representative with a beard rolling their eyes and yelling at me - what's the last name! I'm positive Mothers Day is a very busy day for you all, but no one should be on the receiving end of that type of sass from anyone, especially after paying close to $100 for a 6" inch cake. It definitely killed the excitement for the gender reveal with this cake tainted with attitude.

When we ordered the cinnamon roll, there was no option to heat it up, so we thought they would have done it already. When it was served, it was rock solid. So, we asked them to heat it up. However, after a few minutes, it still wasn't that gooey and the inner core was still pretty tough. Perhaps they could have warmed it up so that it was evenly softened. Overall, the cinnamon roll was alright. It was a brioche roll so you would think it might be lighter and fluffy, but ours was pretty dry. However, the cream on top was insanely good. It carried the roll. The hazelnut twist was kind of what you would expect. A twisted pastry but with a hefty amount of hazelnut-chocolate spread thru the layers. We sat in a little nook, where there was a magnetic black board, where there were word tiles you could rearrange in any way. It was a nice place to just look around at all the sentences the community wrote. Chess tables were also available as extra seating. Overall, the service was good, but could be better when warming up pastries, so that the customer can enjoy them properly!
