Not only were the cakes beautiful, but they were also HUGE -- and the cake itself was honestly some of the best we've had. Light, fluffy, flavorful, and not overly sweet. We ordered one chocolate and one vanilla at my twins' request, and both were amazing. Mary arrived right on time to our very hard-to-find Airbnb and was such a sweetheart throughout the whole process. The price was great. Unfortunately, we don't live in San Diego, or I would be ordering all my cakes from Mary, but if you do, I absolutely recommend Moochie Pops and Cakes for any special event!

Five stars across the board! Quality, responsiveness, service - Joy, the owner, will exceed your expectations and you will definitely get your money's worth! Even in a diverse place like San Diego, it can be hard to find custom Filipino goodies. I found MMC Bakes through a random google search for "local Filipino bakers." We really wanted Filipino flavors at our wedding (that occurred last week) and luckily for us Joy was available less than five months out. Our gamble paid off since we were unable to do a tasting - the cupcakes turned out amazingly and our guests raved about them! Even those unaccustomed to Filipino flavors like ube and buko pandan couldn't get enough. And this is not watered down ube; she really captured the flavor. She takes enormous pride in her work and the customer's satisfaction, even reaching out a few days before the wedding to see if we needed anything else and offered last-minute additional service options to relieve some of our stress. Price-wise it was still expensive, but not overly so compared to other wedding desserts. MMC Bakes is made more impressive by the fact that it is a small business because the level of care you receive is commensurate with a large, long-established business. If you're looking for any kind of baked goods, highly recommend you reach out to Joy because she is the type who will do her best to make things happen. I only hope she'll still be around by the time we come back to SD! read more

Every time I order from her, I send her inspiration photos of how I want my cake to look, but when I pick it up, she always exceeds my expectations. From the decorations to the taste and flavor, her cakes are absolutely amazing. Sylvia is one of the kindest people I've ever met, and she truly values her customers. I remember ordering my daughter's 7th birthday cake, but she told me she would be out of state and wouldn't be able to take my order. Even so, she found a way to accommodate my request. She made my daughter's cake before leaving for her vacation just to make sure my daughter would still have her special birthday cake. That kindness is something I'll never forget. Most recently, I ordered my wedding cake from her. Once again, she went above and beyond my expectations. She even made my cake larger than what I had ordered without charging me extra because she wanted to make sure I had enough cake for all of my guests. That level of generosity and thoughtfulness is so rare. Sylvia is the most incredible baker I've ever met. Her cakes are consistently delicious, beautifully designed, and even better than the inspiration photos I send her. Her customer service is exceptional, and she genuinely cares about making every occasion special. I can't thank her enough for all the cakes she's made for me, my children, and my husband over the years. Whether I order months in advance or have a last-minute request, Sylvia always goes above and beyond to make it happen. She consistently exceeds my expectations with her creativity, delicious cakes, and exceptional customer service. I truly can't thank her enough for making every celebration for my family so special. I will continue to support her and recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing baker.

Those have come out looking and tasting outstanding. However, the reason I am giving a 3 star today is because of my wedding cake experience - which I would deem as the MOST important cake of my life. I did not get the same level of quality nor service that I normally get from her. I know this was a time when she was getting more demand than she was able to keep up with and losing orders and what not. That being said I was very communicative in what I wanted (sent a picture), and when I wanted it by, including the delivery location and time, and she confirmed everything on multiple occasions. Because of past orders, I trusted her 100% to deliver a wonderful product as she always has. Well, when I finally got to see my wedding cake on the day of my wedding, the first thing I noticed was a large bubble on the top layer - sure, this could have happened after delivery, but it was unsightly. This, I could and did get past. The second thing I noticed was the writing N & G looked so ... well not artistic. It was by hand, but did not look very sophisticated or elegant at all, I honestly would have preferred no initials or initials in non-cursive to what we got. I was very disappointed as it looked like it was added in haste, or a young child drew it. The middle layer was a little more gaudy gold that I hoped rather than the champagne gold color in the picture, but I was okay with it. And the last thing I noticed was the color of the top layer. PINK! The picture of the cake I sent was WHITE!!! Why was it Pink? Shocking! So, I tried to forget about the cake and keep enjoying my wedding day, and the cake did taste great. And to her credit, the bottom layer was absolutely gorgeous! So for the wrong color and the bad monogram, I am deducting a star. The other star comes from customer service. I did reach out to her to let her know about the bubble (she mentioned it wasn't there when it was delivered, so that's fine), and the cake color. For the complaint about color, I basically got an "oops" with absolutely no sincere apology nor suggestion for correction. Not even credits towards a future cake. It was this, that has now completely turned me off to ordering with her again. If for my wedding cake, all I got was an "oops", then I feel she did not care about me as a repeat customer whatsoever. This, I could not get past. Bummer, really. Very disappointing.
