    Vegan chocolate cupcakes
    Shauna Z.

    With only one day notice Scott was able to prepare vegan chocolate cupcakes for my son's birthday. It was an easy pickup and my kids love loved the cupcakes. The taste was so delicious- you couldn't even tell they were vegan. Thanks Scott!!

    Savoring the last strawberry lemonade! Wish I ordered more!

    I ordered cupcakes for my daughter's birthday and so happy I found Scott! I ordered strawberry lemonade and red velvet, and they were to die for! The cupcakes were so delicious, light and very balanced in taste. I was partial to strawberry lemonade because I love the citrusy taste, very refreshing. The red velvet was my daughter's favorite! She said one of the very best she's ever tasted! Scott is a delight to work with! I can't wait to order more. Next, will be for my son's birthday!

    Without any recommendations and just basing it on the Kick Ass C. reviews on Yelp, I ordered 7 half a dozen of Scott's popular cupcakes. He even recommended the right mix of flavors. And you know what, I'm glad I chose Kick Ass C! Not only it looked great but it also was so good. It was a hit at my daughter's 7th birthday celebration. So glad I took that chance. Scott is one of the warmest, nicest and thoughtful person I've ever met. Thank you again Scott, you made our party a success!

    Chocolate Toffee Crunch
    Ciánna J.

    JUST ORDER THEM. I had a cupcake craving and reached out to Scott based on his yelp and reviews and asked about his rescue cupcakes (amazing idea for leftovers) he didn't have any that day so I put an order in after looking at ALL his flavors. We got the chocolate toffee crunch. HOLY CUPCAKE HEAVEN, I am snob when it comes to good desserts and this flavor was magical, it was the perfect ratio and not overly sweet and sooo moist. My husband and I were shocked at how delicious they were. We will be ordering plenty more in the future! Scott is extremely kind and responsive and clearly puts a lot of work into his craft and it shows!

    Dang cupcakes were delicious!

    This is my 3rd or 4th time ordering from Scott. Never had a problem with the orders. Gave Scott well over a week to prep a dozen, but last minute, ordered an additional 6 cupcakes. Of course, we had to have the German Chocolate and Red Velvet. We tried the new flavor, Shirley Temple. Definitely were not disappointed with any of the flavors. Some of us had seconds. Now they were not cheap, but if you want moisted and flavorful cupcakes, consider ordering from Kick-Ass Cupcakes.

    My daughter had her 8th birthday party and the kids went crazy for the chocolate strawberry filled cupcakes! Thank you so much Scott for making such soft delicious cupcakes for everybody to enjoy! Lots of my mom friends loved them and would love to try out your other flavors too! I can't wait to order more for myself this time!

    Kick Ass Cupcakes..... the perfect business for a kick ass 100th birthday celebration!

    Scott and Kick Ass Cupcakes went above and beyond for our aunt's 100th birthday celebration! From the planning and design to the flavor and presentation, every detail was handled with care and creativity. The Cupcakes weren't just beautiful. They were absolutely spectacular in taste and artistry! Celebrating our dear love one, a proud San Jose resident for nearly 80 years was already a milestone, but adding something sweet from a dynamic local business like Kick Ass Cupcakes made the day truly unforgettable! Thank you Scott for helping us make this once-in-a-lifetime celebration even more meaningful! With Many Thanks! Sylvia Stuart

    Chocolate cupcakes with choco frosting and rainbow sprinkles.

    (Our very first order with Kick Ass Cupcakes) Scott is beyond amazing! He is super flexible and easy to work with. I gave a last minute order at 10:15am and cupcakes were already ready by 11:30am :-O I don't think any other vendor would take such last min order as deliver such pretty cupcakes. The birthday potluck event was at noon and everyone enjoyed the cupcakes. For pickup, we arrived 10mins late due to traffic and he was still very flexible. Would highly recommend these cupcakes for your next event or a family or friends get together. He made pickup so smooth and quick. Scott is your GoTo person for cupcakes!! Thank you again!

    BananaNilla Cream - my favorite cause they have cream inside.  Red Velvet  S'mores - Fantastic presentation.  Raspberry Vanilla
    Andy L.

    Delicious cupcakes that are not overly sweet. I ordered four flavors with 6 cupcakes each flavor: BananaNilla Cream - I was surprised these were my favorite because I'm normally neutral toward banana. These had a delicious cream on the inside and vanilla wafer on top. S'mores - Fantastic presentation with the real chocolate, graham cracker, and marshmallow on top. Red Velvet - Moist and delicious like the others. Raspberry Vanilla - Nice fruit flavor with a bit of tart from the raspberry. I asked Scott what flavors he recommends I try in the future and he replied that it's difficult to answer because all of the flavors are based off his childhood favorites, but he named two to try -- Chocolate Sandwich Cookie Crunch (Oreo) and Chocolate Caramel Peanut Butter.

    So happy to come across Kick Ass Cupcakes through IG & Yelp! Scott is awesome! Ordered strawberry lemonade, banananilla, cookie dough, kick ass lemon, and red velvet.. They were all a hit at my daughter's graduation. Definitely will be ordering more in the future! Thank you Scott!

So when I say Cest Si Bon is flawless, you know it's serious. This has become our mandatory stop for every celebration, especially Nowruz. My mom literally hides the sweets so no one else will eat them. It's started a war in the family. Actually don't come here if you want peace. But do come here if you want the best - their Persian sweets are easily the most beautiful and delicious I've ever seen, but their real talent is dealing with me. I am notoriously indecisive and change my mind constantly, yet they remain incredibly accommodating. If they were ever annoyed with my million questions, they deserve an award for not showing it. They handle every order with a level of meticulous care that is unheard of. From small sweets to large cakes, they make sure they truly understand your vision and work with you until the moment you pick up that cake and shove it in your mouth. Haven't talked to my mom since she hid the nokhodchi from me. Worth it.

Also, she was so accommodating by making this cake on a Thursday when her availability is strictly weekends. However, if I knew that asking for an accommodation would mean my needs wouldn't have been met I would have looked elsewhere. I ordered a 7 inch buttercream cake but instead received fondant which went uneaten. I went back to review the invoice she sent and I realized there was a portion that said fondant but it also said buttercream so I just ignored it because I had no problems with the previous cakes I had received. This cake was for my friends son so I was so sad when they complained about the toughness of the fondant. I should have contacted her prior to make sure it would be buttercream but I believe she also could have let me know she would have been diverging from what I requested. Especially because $220 isnt cheap :(. The inside of the cake was great!

Unfortunately, the cake I received was much smaller than expected. The sizing descriptions on the order form didn't reflect what was delivered, and it didn't match the scale shown in the reference image I shared, nor did she let me know that it wouldn't look the same. The cake itself lacked many details of the reference cake and it was also delivered late, making me believe that she spent extra time on final touches. To my surprise, the cake was very far off from what I had asked for. I tried reaching out to provide feedback but I didn't receive a response.

It's obvious to me that they spent a lot of time on the branding of the name and concept. 10 stars in my book. The server's were nice and also helpful. I ordered 2 lemon cupcakes and a slice of the lemon poppyseed cake with buttercream frosting on top. $19+ for said items. The server put them into 2 beautiful boxes and a very nice bag. "Price 3 stars, boxes 10 stars" SusieCakes does not take cash! "I'm personally not happy about that" I don't want to hear your excuses why you are doing that, I do not and never will like that. That alone is reason enough for me not to go back. I had a slice of the lemon poppyseed cake at room temp per instructions with a glass of milk. I felt like the buttercream tasted like every other buttercream, nothing special. The lemon filling in between the slices was also just ok but the combination of the lemon filling and buttercream made the slice of cake very, very sweet, did I say sweet? I mean way way way too sweet. (And I love sweet) it just ruined the flavor of the cake, as in I could not taste the cake at all. 2 stars The lemon cupcake was better than the lemon poppyseed cake, still very sweet but not like the lemon poppyseed "I could taste the cake a little better but the icing still overwhelmed the flavors of the cake. 3 stars
