My MIL ordered a cake for my son who is allergic to dairy, so it was special order and from states away! We were planning to pick up and she ended up going out of her way to deliver the cake to us because of a delay. That was very kind. My son was thrilled to see the cake he ordered exactly. He loved eating the fondant art and icing. It was a little too sweet for my taste, but for someone who has a sweet tooth I bet it's perfect. The cake was moist itself, and I wish there was more of it instead of icing (ratio was a little off) which is the only reason this is 4 instead of 5 stars. Otherwise, my son and MIL and I are very happy customers and would Absolutely order here again. read more

Liza did an AMAZING job with the cake for my husband's birthday! I sent her a picture of the idea I was going for and it turned out perfectly. She was also lovely to work with and a very fair price. Thank you Liza! read more

I called all over the bay to find someone to do a custom lactose-free cake and Lisa was the only one that returned my call and said she could do it. It turned out amazing and tasted great. It's exactly what we needed during these challenging times. Thank you! read more

We recently had our wedding cutting cake and cupcakes made by Liza and they were amazing. When we met with her we explained our beach theme and hopes for a cake. What she came up with was so much better then what we envisioned. She's a honest good person who followed through with everything discussed. We will highly recommend her to anyone we know in the area. read more

The owner Liza really came through for me last minute for my fiance's 30th birthday Film Reel cake, as the baker who was supposed to create his custom cake bailed on me last minute. I really appreciated her communication and attention to detail, as she was always responsive and made sure to go over every aspect of the cake I desired. Not only was her rate very reasonable but she also aided me in my time crunch by delivering, and ON TIME, during busy downtown San Francisco 5pm traffic time, which was a huge help and much appreciated! The film reel cake looked exactly as discussed, and tasted even better (if you haven't already tried a Chocolate Cake w/ Raspberry & Salted Caramel Buttercream Filling, you have NOT lived, & NEED to asap!!). Thank you so much Liza, we will be back very soon!! read more

I would give 10 stars if this were an option! Liza and her cakes are awesome! I had a super last minute request to provide a cake to a local legend and celebrity (Willie Mays) for his 90th birthday. I was in a panic trying to find someone who could create a one of kind cake on such short notice and using our chocolate (I work for Ghirardelli Chocolate Company). I found Liza right away and she was as excited as we were to be apart of this special project. The whole process was easy, we gave some ideas on the look and feel we were going for and she sketched a beautiful design that was beyond our expectations! She was super friendly and had great communication along the way. As you can see the cake turned out amazing and wowed everyone who saw it!! On top of that everyone thought the cake was delicious, tasty and moist, each layer was a different flavor highlighting variations of chocolate and everything was executed to perfection. Liza will be my go-to for all my future cakes and baked good needs! read more

My friend surprised me with a birthday cake (which I later found out was from My Favorite Bite) and it was honestly the BEST birthday cake I've ever had! I'm obsessed with burgers, so my friend found this place on Yelp and they were able to make this custom cake on such short notice and they even delivered the cake to my friends house! When the cake was brought out to me, I was so excited! I've never had a birthday cake that looked like a burger before. And this cake was EPIC. The detail on the cake was outstanding...from making it look like double burger patties, to the sesame seeds, lettuce & cheese! It was so delicate and perfect looking that I didn't want to touch it! We finally cut into the cake, and the inside was funfetti (also my favorite)! The cake was moist, the frosting was light and sweet. So so good! Seriously the best birthday cake I've ever had! read more

I have a very bad experience working with My Favorite Bite. I wanted to order a cake for a friend's birthday and the time was limited. At the beginning, I was very happy that they can make me a cake at such a short time. The mistake is we misunderstood each other by text message. I wanted a plain white cake with gold-edge flowers on top, and gold strips on the side. And then Liza showed me another picture that I don't like the flowers on top. Since I thought everything was set, I paid $226 for the cake (1 plastic toper included). What I got was a plain white cake with gold strip and plastic topper. Where are my flowers? She apologized for the miscommunication, she thought I didn't want the flowers, but I explained that I didn't like the flowers on the picture she showed me, not the first picture. So far, I think it's the text messages cause her misunderstood me. BUT, how can you give me an almost plain white cake and charge me for $200? So I told her that it's not what I expected and would like to have a refund for the flower part. I thought about asking for the full refund, but since I've agreed on communicating by text which caused the miscommunication, I'm taking my part and want her to take her part of this. After a few conversations, she refused to refund the flower part and just stopped replying me. So this is it. BYE! read more

I found My Favorite Bite thru Yelp when I found out my "go-to" cake person had moved too far for me to make the trip. I sent Liza an email with my thoughts, ideas and photos of what I had in mind. That same day she got back to me with some options that I may want to consider. I took her up on her suggestion and I'm glad I did. My son is a Mortal Kombat fan and his fave flavors are RedVelvet and Chocolate and was hoping Liza would be able to accommodate that, which didn't seem like a problem to her. She was very helpful and considered my vision to make it perfect. The cake was delish. Very moist and delicate. The redvelvet was a bit rich for my taste (but thats just me) bc my guests LOVED it. My guests asked for Liza's info so they can use her for their events. I knocked off a star solely bc there was a hiccup on time management. Im a very prompt, on time person. Since Liza works out of her home, we went to her location and stayed in the car for about 45mins bc she was putting on the final touches to the cake. But honestly, with the outcome and how beautiful the cake turned out and how delicious it was it was definitely worth the wait. I will definitely keep My Favorite Bite on speed dial for any event I hold in the future. Liza was very sweet and apologetic when she came out to deliver the cake to my car. read more

If you're looking for a custom cake that won't blow your budget, this might be a great option. More cost competitive than others in the Bay area. Quick response via email and phone. If you pick a theme, they'll send you different options for decoration with fees. Delivery in the Bay area is an additional $15 and pick ups are available in the Daly City location. The Monty Phython cake ordered was decorated beautifully and tasted amazing, moist and decadent in all the right ways. read more

I live in southern California and trying to throw a surprise birthday dinner for your boyfriend who lives in Oakland can be a bit challenging. Luckily, I found My Favorite Bite through yelp. I spoke with Liza 7 days before the event and placed my order along with an ideal picture of the cake. Liza was very responsive and professional which made me feel at ease. On the day of the event Liza sent me a picture of the cake which was beyond my expectations. My boyfriends face LIT UP LIKE A LIGHT when the Arsenal Jersey cake was presented at the dinner table. We received so many compliments about how great the cake looked and tasted. THANK YOU SO MUCH LIZA! You made my boyfriends birthday just that much special :-) read more

I am incredibly DISAPPOINTED at the lack of professionalism, customer service and quality of cake My Favorite Bite made for my daughter's birthday. (1) Cake was delivered 2 hours late, which was five minutes before the party ended. (2) I called Liza during the two hours for a status, and the only response I received was an "I'm driving" text. No phone call or estimated time of when she'd arrive. (3) The cake was leaning, and began to sink once we started cutting into it. When I followed up with Liza about it, she claimed that it was intended to be "topsy turvy," which was not only poorly executed, but not what I ordered. (4) The "Happy Birthday..." inscription was completely missing from the cake. (5) The cake topper was broken. I followed up with Liza after the party, requesting a partial refund given the poor service I had received. After multiple emails, she finally replied to me, confirming that she would grant me the partial refund, but needed my credit card information again. I left her a voicemail with my information and asked her to contact me if she needed additional info to process the refund. Never heard back. After three weeks of emails, text messages and phone calls, she has been MIA and not honored the refund that she agreed to grant me. I regret choosing My Favorite Bite to make my daughter's birthday cake. Lesson learned. read more

My Favorite Bite - My daughter's Birthday cake. Details in my review. - Bakeries Near Me

I found Liza on Yelp and loved how beautifully her cakes turned out. I emailed her a picture of the cake that my son had wanted for his "gaming" birthday party - a yellow Pacman cake with 9 Pacman ghost cupcakes - and she responded immediately to let me know that she could get the cake done in a week as requested, no problem. The cake was not only PERFECT, it was delicious! So often, cakes are pretty but taste like sawdust. Her dulce de leche cake was moist and flavorful with a delicate raspberry cream layer. She was super easy to work with, was very communicative, and the kids DEVOURED her cake. Her sweet son delivered our cake curbside with his credit-card machine. Thank you thank you, Liza, for helping to make my son's party such a big hit! read more

This is long overdue but my son had his 2nd bday party last month & I cannot thank Liza enough! Dave & Ava theme is something my son watch from YouTube, therefore not very popular with cake designs but Liza did her own homework & made it happen! Everyone including myself of course loved it and it was super yummy!!! So thanks so much again Liza! read more

TOTALLY UNPROFESSIONAL. GO WITH SOMEONE ELSE. I ordered a cake for my boyfriend's 40th birthday. Went over all of the cake design details with Liza, pickup details, etc. Pick-up: even though Yelp indicates Inner Richmond location, pick up was actually South San Francisco. Liza did not pick up the phone at designated time or for two hour thereafter. Even after my second friend drove to pick up the cake three hours after agreed time, Liza was still "putting touches on the cake". She told me her phone died, she told my friend she had a migraine. Cake: We felt she made the cake last minute as we were waiting for hours that night. The cake was missing a happy birthday sign and pieces that we agreed upon. Do yourself a favor and book with someone else, so that you don't wonder if you will have a cake for your event. UPDATE: Liza provided a 50% discount after our conversation. read more

This bakeshop listens to its clients, meets their needs, goes the extra mile and delivers. It was a birthday cake that i ordered for my sweetheart, who is diabetic. He is a sweet tooth, so a special birthday cake is what I requested that is gluten free, low glycemic and wow! The agave sweetened cake was just too GOOD! The "black forest type" cake has fresh cherries in between layers. Presentation of the icing is a work of art as well as she managed to put iridescent colours on the topping, very much like modern art. Upon eating, we checked his blood sugar, and it had very low results.. so he had a second helping. Liza, the baker makes it so gourmet. It's a champagne taste on a beer budget. This baker knows the needs of people who have health issues, not only for diabetics, but for gluten intolerants as well. If you request for high protein flour, there are options for almond flour, coconut flour as well as buckwheat.. Sweetened according to your preferences-xylithritol, stevia, agave or coco sugar. My other favourites-stevia sweetened banana cake, the blondies, almond crunch bites, a must try.. Don't order elsewhere. And btw this baker can take orders on short notice! read more

Thank you Liza for your amazing cake! I've actually asked another bakery create this design in the past with the same sample pictures and they failed horribly. Liza's cake was on point and came out above my expectations! Liza is so talented and creative! Most of all, you can tell that she is passionate about her work and takes all of her designs seriously. She's very easy to work with and responsive. I will definitely be going back to her for my next cake. Thanks again My Favorite Bite!! read more

Currently on my way to my son's 6th birthday party, LATE AND WITH NO CAKE! She said she would deliver to me at 4:30. I texted at 4:40 asking if she was close and her response was: "Im waiting for my car to get back from a delivery" I said well you could have told me that you were behind schedule and I would have came and picked it up (which I offered to do in the first place but she said she wouldn't be home until 6pm) I waisted until 5:45, she not only never responded but never answered her phone either. I waited until 5:45, the party starts at 6pm across the bridge. Now I'm sitting in traffic while guest are calling me asking where we are and my son has no cake. Great! Update: (Because I can't believe she has the nerve to justify not showing up and not responding for hours) Yes, I placed my order on late notice but you said you could accommodate me. I never asked to be squeezed in. I would much rather you have told me NO and that way I could have bought my son a simple Safeway cake rather than NO CAKE AT ALL. It's not just the fact that you didn't show up. It's the fact that you did not COMMUNICATE with me. You told me you would be there at 4:30. You never said you were running late, you never asked if I could come pick it up instead. You literally disappeared and left me to guess if you were ever going to show up! I ended up not hearing from you until 6pm after I told you repeatedly the party starts at 6pm across the bay. Thank God no money was exchanged before hand!! read more

Wow! First off, I want to say a huge thank you to Liza for making the cake I requested just as I wanted it. She took the time to understand what I wanted the cake to look like and she was a great communicator through out the process. My mom and my family loved the cake. It was delicious and beautiful! If you are looking for a special cake for an occasion I would definitely recommend My Favorite Bite! Thank you! read more

Poor time management! Poor communication! Poor business practice! Complete no show for my daughter's 3rd bday party today at the Bay Area Discovery Museum (BADM) from 1:30-3pm. So sad we couldn't sing "happy birthday" to my daughter. I had to tell my guests the cake would not be coming after all. I had initially planned to make cupcakes myself and thought I'd save myself the work. I called Liza a couple of days ago to see if she could make a cake for the party today. She said "yes" and I completely trusted she would come through. We confirmed she would arrive by 1:15pm. I called her at 1:30pm and she said she had a sink issues and would not arrive until 2:30pm. Was disappointed, but understood things happen. I called Liza at 2:25pm to ask about the cake and she called me back to say her husband had left 15 mins prior to deliver it. I was hopeful. It wasn't until the BADM coordinator helped us pack up at 3pm that I realized that cake was never coming. I tried calling Liza and, of course, no answer. We stuck around the BADM so my daughter could play. The party coordinator found me 50 minutes after our party had ended to tell me the cake arrived at 3:40pm, but they had to turn away the deliverer since they thought we had left. Yup, 40 minutes after my party had ended they tried delivering the cake. Clearly, has no sense of time! In the end, my guests had a great time and everything else was good. The upside to this mess was that I saved $180 on a cake! Please save your money and go elsewhere or have a back-up plan if you order from this place. read more

I really wanted to have the ultimate cake created for a very special surprise birthday, and that's a tall order! When I contacted Liza, she was extremely prompt in her response, gave me some great options and was very clear in all her emails. We had a plan set in place, month or so in advance, and she executed everything according to plan! The cake was the highlight of the evening- she was incredibly innovative in designing a whole cake in the shape of a car, and getting all the little details that made it so special! I recommend anyone looking for an extraordinary way to make it a truly special occasion to get a cake from Liza!!!! Thanks again for answering all my emails and making such a wonderful cake!! read more

The talented Liza of My Favorite Bite did it again!! Our daughter celebrated her 5th birthday just three months after we had a big 7th birthday celebration for our son. We turn to My Favorite Bite once again this time for a simple butterfly-themed cake. As always, Liza was so pleasant to work with and created a beautiful butterfly-themed cake that put a huge smile on our daughter's face. What was even more amazing was how delicious it tasted! Seconds after our guests took a bite of their cake, they were mumbling to me with a mouth full of cake, "This is gooooood cake!" Many thanks Liza for making our daughter's 5th birthday so special. read more

Liza is honestly phenomenal and loves what she does, but that's not the best asset she has because she genuinely loves to see her clients happy, smiling, and she will go above and beyond to make sure that happens. I called Liza on a very short notice for an engagement cake that I needed, and she didn't fail one bit to make sure she delivered. The greatest part about my interaction with Liza was that she A) didn't give me any trouble about the short notice. B) was beyond happy for my engagement. C) very polite. I sent her a picture of the cake i wanted and asked if it would be possible and she responded, "yes." I asked her if she can change the lettering for me to cater the event, and she did. Liza then delivered the cake to the restaurant for me. When I say this cake was an exact replica of the picture I sent her, I kid you not, it looked the exact same, and tasted even better. I highly recommend Liza, and will always come back to her for customized cakes. THANK YOU‼‼ read more
