Not your typical combinations. Friends and family were planning a stay in Los alamos for a big birthday celebration weekend and booked BBS for one of their creations. Communication (via email) with Amber , was seamless. Very professional and helpful! Everyone loved the cake, especially the birthday girl! The flavors were so rich, and cake was most. Frosting wasn't over the top, it was perfection. Amber nailed the aesthetics of the cake! Overall it was an exceptional experience! I would highly recommend BBS to anyone who wants the best cake in Santa Ynes Valley!

So with the horrible traffic on the 101 we got there around 11:30, figuring there won't be much left half hour before closing. The location is a private Ranch - looks like it could be used as a wedding or party venue? Anyway the baked goods were indeed mostly gone with the owner Tracy telking us she had sold over 80 scones that morning. But bc there were only 2 scones left and we wanted more , Tracy was kind enough to put some more in the oven for us. We left were a couple bags of goodies - the homemade pop tarts with fresh made jam, Scottish cream scones, lemon poundcake and shortbread cookies. All were delish! The pop tarts though.... omg ... soooo good. I could eat these every day. $5 per item and worth every calorie ....yummmm!

To say this is the best cake I have ever eaten is an understatement. A little backstory here…read more.. Last year, 4 of my friends and my 3 (cheapo) sons got together for my birthday and my friends told me all about Brandi at Jensen's Custom Cakery... and her "wonderful cakes." The way they described them was more of an experience than anything else... with intense flavors and wonderful textures... everything fresh and made to order... So I got all excited and then they went and got me a !*YTST cake from some other local (and well-known) bakery that turned out to be a flat suger bomb...bleh... all because they didn't get an order placed in time with Brandi... (that's a hint, order early as she gets booked up) - Anyway, I was pretty darn upset to say the least because - hey, life is too short to not eat great cake and now that I'm yelping - stand back! Oh well, they did get me some nice presents, and good wine, but still... there is no comparison... So this year, just to be sure, for my wine country birthday party, I went ahead and ordered my own darn cake - well in advance... (my friends can just bring me wine from now on - pay attention Lorraine :))! So I ordered what's called a Double Lemon Coconut and I gotta tell you it really was an absolutely amazing cake - and Brandi even delivered it to our weekend rental on the other side if the valley. So this 2 layer dream cake was so good that the first thing I did was hide away a piece from my hungry friends and family... and a good thing I did because they ate the whole thing... all of it! I have never seen a cake disappear so fast in all my years and birthday parties... but on this one, you can really taste the fresh coconut, the intense lemon, the cream... the tart in the lemon curd... (even her curd is fresh hand-made just for the specific cake - I know, I tried to buy more of it) and the bite assembly is nothing short of gourmet... You can really tell a lot of time was spent perfecting these flavors... and all I can say is WOW and now I'm really excited for my next birthday (but so sad right now because I am out of cake), I even ate my backup piece :(... Next time I'm going to order a carrot cake that my friend Nancy told me about last week and described as "cosmic and out of this world..." since I am a carrot cake junkie, I can't wait... I'll let you know how that one goes along with some pics when I figure out how to get them off my new phone... onto the Yelp machine.... until then, if you want a memorable cake and the absolute best you can get your mouth on, check out her site or give her a call... tell her Maggie sent ya!

Been in Solvang at least 50 times but have never been to this place nor any other chocolate shops…read moreuntil recently. I suppose this is a great place to check out if you are looking for Danish style chocolates and licorice items, but not sure if it's much better than other chocolate shops for regular chocolates. Main difference with Danish chocolates is that they use marzipan (almond meal & sugar) as one of the ingredients. I'm not a big fan of marzipan so just ended up getting some peanut butter cups and assorted regular chocolates. They were quite good but pricey. Also got a gift box of nut cluster chocolates to share with my coworkers.

I was in here on a Friday a little after 6pm and no one was in here. I asked one of the young women working here what time they closed and she told me 6:30pm. I then went to check out their back area and oh my they had quite an assortment of Dutch licorice, I was in heaven! I like salty licorice, less sweet and more salty with a good licorice bite and also found one of the brands I really like. I also tried another I did know, just to see what it was like. The brand I am used to I am saving for later as I know what it tastes like. The new brand I got is a bit more sweet than I like but I still like it and it was good I tried it. This is a great shop if youre looking for Dutch style licorice. They also have plenty of award winning chocolates too and a lot of people showed up after I entered and all ordering their chocolates. Id come back here again when in town!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!…read more Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU, Sweet Baking Co.! Where do I even begin? I'm new to town, and let's just say I have a bit of a sweet tooth. When I first arrived in Lompoc, I found a few places to grab dessert, but nothing really stood out--until I discovered Sweet Baking Co. The moment I walked in, I knew I had found my new favorite spot. While I'm living in this lovely little town, I can honestly say I'll be stopping by at least once a week! The desserts are incredible. Tiramisu cupcakes?! What?! I thought I had died and gone to heaven. Every single thing I've tried has been delicious. The frosting is perfectly balanced--not overly sweet--and the fillings are rich, flavorful, and absolutely amazing. You can tell that every item is made with care and creativity. The flavor combinations are unique, thoughtful, and beautifully executed. And then there are the drinks. Oh. My. Goodness. The Ube Horchata is one of the best specialty drinks I've ever had. It tastes every bit as amazing as it looks! What makes this place even more special, though, is the family behind it. They are some of the kindest people you could hope to meet. I work at a local Title I Special Education preschool, and they generously donated to our preschool graduation celebration. That meant so much to our students, families, and staff. It's rare to find a business that not only offers such a high-quality product but also genuinely gives back to its community. Sweet Baking Co. has earned a customer for life. Delicious treats, beautiful drinks, wonderful people, and a heart for the community--what more could you ask for? Thank you again! I'll be back in town in July, and you can bet I'll be stopping by. See you soon!
