The cake itself is soft yet slightly coarse, and the cream is smooth and creamy. It's very pleasant to eat.

We have had 2 occasions where the (absolutely delicious) pandan coconut cake got a little dented or melted/partly destroyed. The first time we kind of just overlooked it because maybe it was bumped during the car ride or something, but the second time the layers of the cake were actually collapsing and it seemed like the top might slide off, and there were no real bumps during the car ride. The one time we ordered the ube cake this didn't happen, and I think I recall it came with a stiff plastic sheet around it to help with structural integrity. For some reason this wasn't there for the pandan cakes, but maybe for the future it should always be there because these cakes are so soft and fluffy.

It is important to me to support local businesses and work with a fellow Latino for as many of my vendors as possible, so I was disappointed when this was the result with Noel. It was also awkward. One of the first emails asked him on a Monday if it would be possible to do a tasting that weekend, or what tasting schedules are / how he does them. He responded more than a week later saying "I don't do tastings on such short notice." No details provided on how he does them.

Our elopement cake was almost too beautiful to cut into, but we're glad we did. We chose the lemon raspberry buttercream, and we highly recommend this flavor, too! The lemon curd and raspberry fillings were so fresh, and the buttercream was perfect: airy, creamy, and not at all too sweet. Coordinating with Gayoung was simple, and we really appreciate how much time, care, and expertise went into making our wedding cake so beautiful.

We wanted a cake to celebrate my mom's 100th birthday celebration and we needed something that she could see with her limited eyesight. The cake was exquisite -- both aesthetically and gastronomically. Every guest asked where we got the cake. I wish that I had recorded the chorus of "oohs and aahs" that accompanied the introduction so that the artist/bakers at Soul Cake could have experienced it. The main cake was a delicious lemon raspberry that everyone raved about and we supplemented with a double chocolate cake, that was equally appreciated. Soul Cake delivered our cake on a holiday -- 7/4 -- which was so helpful! Thank you for what you do. Our experience was unparalleled.

I ordered a garlic cheese bread which had a lot of cream cheese filling but also a bit of honey glaze with the garlic seasoning. It was an amazing balance of sweet and savory. I also ordered a sweet potato latte which unfortunately you cannot control the sugar level but was still pretty tasty. They were sweet enough to give me their wifi password so I could do some work while I was there. To go I also ordered a gochujang sticky bun and a black sesame cookie. The cookie was perfectly nutty but a little too fragile? It broke apart and crushed a little too easily. The gochujang sticky bun was an interesting flavor. I could almost do with a little more gochujang for a stronger kick but the spicy flavor is definitely there.

Although it was my son's birthday, I had had mainly flown in to watch him play football that Saturday. I realized I could not take a cake with me to the game because I was going directly to the post-game venue afterward (and had no vehicle). I needed to find someone who could whip up a delicious cake AND deliver it. Oh boy. It was already after 5pm that Thursday when I got to my hotel. What to do? I got on Yelp and went through reviews. All the local bakeries were listed, but The Spunky Baker stood out because of its name and because delivery was available. Maybe my day was saved?!! Sara made a 3-layered chocolate cake in the shape of a football with raspberry cream/raspberry compote filling between each layer and iced it with a delicious light cream frosting. Everyone loved it, the players, the parents... and Sara also made a couple dozen matching cupcakes. The leftovers were really appreciated by some lucky students later that night.
