The flavor selection was decent. I opted for celebration and vanilla. The vanilla was so moist. The design of the cake turned out nicely.

Where do I even begin ... this was the worst experience!! This was my second order with Sugar…read moreJones, and I hesitated to write this -- but the lack of response and respect needs to be shared. I requested a pastel, whimsical, tea design cake and sent reference photos. What I received was bold, watermelon-like colors that completely clashed with my child's party theme and on top of that, a milestone 5th birthday. I was also only told after ordering and paying that Sunday pickup isn't normally allowed -- forcing me to pick up the cake at 8am the morning of the party. That policy should be disclosed upfront. We had to change plans in order to accomodate this request she unprofessionally sprung onto us. I emailed with photos and respectful feedback and received no response. Not even an acknowledgment. As a business owner, I would have been ashamed of this! The cake tasted fine, but the communication and customer care were terrible. I would not trust this bakery for an important event, ever! Please save yourself the trouble and thank me later ... i would give this review zero stars if I could.

Had a phenomenal experience visiting Sweet Lily Bakery! Don't be deceived by the name though, Sweet…read moreLily is so much more than a bakery. In addition to their expertly-crafted pastries, Sweet Lily offers a great variety of French dishes and packaged food items. My group ordered the Sugar Beignet, Raspberry Croissant, and Coffee Croissant - which were all wonderful. The Raspberry Croissant had a not-too-sour fresh jelly filling and was definitely the crowd favorite, but the thick, latte-flavored filling in the Coffee Croissant made it a close second place. The fresh-squeezed orange juice at $5 felt like an absolute bargain, and the Cappuccino was also well-executed. The real stars of the show were the entrees, though. Both the Avocado Toast plate and Croque Monsieur truly tasted like a trip to France. They were hearty and full of flavor, without feeling too heavy. The Sweet Lily twist on Avocado Toast includes melted mozzarella and slices grapes, which really elevated the dish! The potatoes and salads that came as complimentary sides were a welcome surprise, and just as craveable as the entrees themselves. I truly don't think there's a bad thing to order here, and I look forward to returning to this bright and welcoming spot to try more!

Found Sweet Lily on Yelp after a hike at Griffith Park on the Fourth of July. Parking was a little…read morechallenging since I only found street parking, but it was worth it. I had the US breakfast with a coffee, and it was a great way to refuel after the hike. The highlight for me was the baguette--it was fresh, soft, and delicious.

I pride myself on being a terrific and creative gift-giver especially for birthdays. It is a…read morespecial super skill I have where I can find a rare item that someone has desired their entire life or have the foresight to know what a person needs before they even know it, themselves. I just love to make people feel special! My boyfriend's 41st birthday was quickly approaching and I had the idea to supplement his gifts with life themed cookies: those royal icing decorated cookies that are the rage at events in the vein of a cookie per life moment or characteristic of my boyfriend (who is a twin, by the way!). I wanted to 'shop local' and reached out in one of my neighborhood Facebook groups looking for an artisan, local baker/bakery who does this sort of thing. Receiving a few responses, it was The Sugar'd Whisk that stood out and I immediately knew I had to hire Lexi, the owner/operator/baker/decorator. The Sugar'd Whisk is a cookie and cake company that you would see on those competition shows on Food Network or Netflix creating the most gorgeous and elevated or charming and delightfully decorated cookies and cakes for events, birthdays, weddings, baby and wedding showers, gender reveals, grad parties and just about whatever! Lexi is amazingly skilled and is up to date with the most modern trends or classic styles. Just browse her gallery of work and you will be blown away. There is nothing she can't do. I contacted The Sugar'd Whisk per her website where you can fill out an inquiry form (please AT LEAST 2 weeks ahead - I did a month prior to my boyfriend's birthday!) and decided on a dozen cookies where you can choose 3 -4 designs ($60 but $80 for my order because I received more designs). This wasn't necessarily what I had in mind because I wanted a cookie per life event but I addressed in the form that I am willing to meet in middle, pay more, etc. Lexi personally texted me immediately and then proceeded to set up a phone meeting in which we discussed the idea and themes and she even agreed to up the number of designs if possible while doing research on the decorated images I preferred. The Sugar'd Whisk kept me in loop regarding research and her timeline (Lexi is a very busy lady with customers and that is no surprise!) and texted back and forth about ideas and was very patient to find a way to make me happy. The next step was an email proposal agreement contract and my payment which I made through Zelle. When the day arrived to pick up the cookies from The Sugar'd Whisk; I met Lexi outside her apartment building (She bakes from home which is even more impressive that she can do this outside of a commercial kitchen!) and she was all smiles and super friendly. I was absolutely blown away by the cookies! Perfection is an understatement! Not only were they exactly the images I wanted but the icing work was beautiful and artistically talented! The Sugar'd Whisk is amazing and worth every cent! My boyfriend and I went away for the weekend for his birthday and I set up the cookies for him to wake up to and The Sugar'd Whisk (and me for having the idea) knocked the ball out of the park like Shohei Ohtani! He said this was one of, if not THE, best and most personalized gift he has ever received and he too was amazed by the skill of The Sugar'd Whisk! This is a huge compliment as he is a creative and artist by profession. But that isn't the end of the wonderful experience. We still have to discuss the taste! These cookies are THICK so I was slightly worried they would be either too sweet or too bland and flour-y but no! The Sugar'd Whisk has the perfect recipe of not-to-sweet and not too powdery cookies with a blend of tasting like a sugar cookie and butter cookie. My boyfriend was in love with them and even I, who is Celiac and can't consume gluten, couldn't keep myself from eating some of these delicious cookies! The Sugar'd Whisk is an absolute win in every category: local business, customer service, talented decoration, flavor and price (they are priced lower than some of the competitors while being much more upscale!). I will without a doubt return to The Sugar'd Whisk for my cake and cookie needs and recommend it for anyone and everyone!
