The one thing that really bothered me was the fact that the website does not provide any alternative way of communication other than the phone number - I was lucky that the answering machine was able to record my message when I initially called for a cake tasting, because when I called back the day before my appointment to let Debbie know what flavors I wanted to sample (she had requested that I call back the day before), the answering machine was full/out of memory! (I tried both phone #'s listed on the website and they both go to the same machine) I thought she would call me to follow-up but I never received anything phone call...so I showed up to my appointment the next day assuming/thinking that Debbie would just make some basic flavors (red velvet, carrot cake, some vanilla-based cake, etc.) so I would at least have something to try. However, when I arrived, Debbie didn't have anything prepared and we briefly talked about the details of the wedding - I didn't get to review any portfolios for cake ideas either... Debbie was very apologetic about her answering machine and had offered to deliver her cake samples herself - it just so happened that I had another vendor appointment nearby the next day so I ended up picking up the cake samples from Debbie the following day instead. The cakes were delicious overall but they were very heavy at the same time. I really enjoyed her red velvet & carrot cake (they were the best-tasting ones out of all the vendors I had tried up until this point), but her tiramisu was, strangely, very different from what I'm used to. Ultimately, we didn't end up using Debbie - it was important to me that I could communicate with my vendors conveniently via web (vs. phone), and I didn't want to deal with any more answering machine debacle! read more

Debbie is wonderful! I've been going back to her for custom cakes. Since I met her last year, I've ordered 4 cakes already and have been very happy with each order. She made our 4-layer wedding cake last year. She took time to sit & talk with us before the wedding and started a relationship. She's very excited with what she does and offered some tips on party planning & design. The cakes aren't just beautiful - they're delicious! Our wedding cake was lovely. Delivered it on time with the surprise iPhone chocolate peanut butter cake for my husband. Everyone loved it!!! Our groomsmen kept coming back the next day for the cake & leftovers. The cake is moist and the frosting is so goooodddd!!! We couldn't resist we ate the top layer after 6 months. So last Sunday I went back to pick up our anniversary cake. It was a Chiffon cake layered with mangoes, raspberries & strawberries. She even remembered our wedding colors. Book your cake orders ahead of time coz she has a load of orders esp during wedding season. She won't disappoint! It's worth the $$ especially if you want a gorgeous & delicious cake for your big day. read more

I LOVED the Wedding Cake Debbie made for us! She is amazing and creative and the top in her craft! Debbie made these original birds out of sugar for the topper on my wedding cake (see image 9 in gallery) and I was just blown-away. All my guests were impressed as not only was my cake stunning to look at, it was delicious as well! I was referred to Debbie by a friend who went to a bridal shower and Not Just Cheesecakes did their cake. My friend was super impressed and told me I had to try them for my wedding. After going to 3 other cake places, Debbie was just so down-to-earth, warm, personable, and full of creative ideas, I knew she was the one for us. As a photographer, I appreciate someone who is visual, loves what they do and can offer such a personalized service. She was amazingly reasonable in price for such an excellent quality. What I really appreciated was how Debbie created the cake on how she saw my personality and style of my wedding. Even in a short time, she was able to be in tune with what I wanted, even though I didn't know it completely, during the last two weeks of wedding hecticness! She's a true artist and if you just trust her, she will design an amazing cake for you, she is that good! Please keep in mind that with her talent and skills, Debbie is a very busy and sought-after woman, so be patient (it may take her a couple weeks to get back to you) and you will surely be rewarded with a gorgeous and original cake! read more

Debbie did a beautiful job on my moms pumpkin birthday cake. We were having a fall themed birthday and wanted a pumpkin flavored cake. I had no idea that she would get so creative as to create a pumpkin patch. The cakes were mini pumpkins spice cake with delicious filling and chocolate coating. The flavors melted in your mouth - mocha and spice and pumpkin and chocolate all perfect for the season. A real stunner at the party, it took everyone's breath away especially my moms. You know how sometimes cakes look great but taste terrible? Never the case with Not Just Cheesecakes. She's talented in the delicious and creative department. Plus, she's so sweet to work with! read more

Debbie is a genius at cake-making and a wonderful person to work with. We had a redwood-themed wedding, and she totally captured our vision for a redwood-themed cake, complete with our initials carved in a heart on the side! Everyone raved about how delicious the cake was. We had 2 layers of red velvet with cheesecake and 1 layer of almond mocha. The cake rested on a layer of cookie moss. Thank you Debbie!! read more

I'm a year late in my review of my wedding cake Debbie made, but better late than never! Debbie made our amazing delicious wedding cake and was so nice to work with. From our first cake tasting, she was super friendly and everything we tasted was amazing! For designing the cake, she was attentive to detail and brought great ideas. She was happy to work with our requests, even if they went beyond what she usually did. She made us a chocolate mint cake, even though that wasn't listed as a flavor, and provided us extra accessories for our favors decoration. Even though her cake was better than anywhere else we tasted, it was very reasonable in price. Our cake on our wedding was amazing - everyone kept telling us how great our flavors were. We barely got any cake because everyone was enjoying our cake so much (and thank you to my bridesmaid who made sure we got some!). Debbie just made us a complimentary cake for our one year anniversary, so we were reminded how amazing our cake was. She even decorated it to match our wedding cake - a very night, thoughtful touch. Note - Debbie can be a little hard to get a hold of, but is pretty responsive through email. It is definitely worth the effort! read more

Not Just Cheesecakes - wedding cake - Bakeries Near Me - Campbell, California

LOVE this place!! Debbie is the best! We came here for our wedding cake and I'm SO glad we did. Not only was Debbie a joy to be around but she was so excited about her work that it made me even more confident to have her make the most important cake of my life. I knew exactly what I wanted and had a picture for her. Done and done! Then it was time for a taste test. This was no ordinary taste test. We told her what we wanted to try and she said to come back the next day (or in a few days, I can't remember now). So we come back to like 4 mini cakes prepared just for us and a buffet of different icings to try every combination we were interested in. Then we got to take all the cakes home!! We had dessert for daaaays. I joked that we needed to try others so we could take home 4 or 5 new cakes. And if that wasn't awesome enough, these cakes were seriously the best tasting cakes EVER. I still dream about how tasty my wedding cake was. read more

Delicious cheesecake!!! So glad I found Debbie, super responsive and quick turnaround. You can tell she puts in a lot of love into her cakes! I ordered a 6-inch New York Style cheesecake with raspberry topping & graham cracker crust. So good, wish we got a larger size! read more

Debbie - you are beyond awesome! I came in with an idea of what I wanted my wedding cake to look like and you made it even better. Plus you made it possible for me to transport my wedding cake and cheesecake tarts from San Jose to Tahoe! While a black cake was not in my original idea, your recommendation to do a black cake given our color scheme and decor was the best idea ever! Everyone loved the look of it with the pop of red flowers and silver branches. Plus the red velvet cake with cheesecake was to die for!! People are still talking about how good it was! Plus the little square cheesecake tarts were the perfect size for people to just grab and eat while mingling or standing by the fire pits. Thank you for being a part of my special day and helping to make it perfect! read more

Debbie was an excellent choice for my wedding cake. Her cakes taste amazing and are very beautiful. She has been a joy to work with. She really listens to your needs and works to create a masterpiece. She is kind and pleasant and I loved working with her. She went above and beyond in making my cake including finding a special pin that made the same design as my wedding Sari. I hate going to weddings where the cake tastes like cardboard, and this will not happen with one of Debbie's cakes. Don't get worried if you have trouble reaching her via email. She is very professional, and even if you are a nervous bride like I was, she will come through for you...no problem. I even went back after the wedding to get a cute cake for my husband's birthday. Loved that one too. read more

I used Debbie for my daughter's 3rd birthday cake and it was a hit! She nailed a photo I found online for a 3-tier fiesta cake that we converted to 2-tier since it was a smaller party. I have included a photo to show just how awesome and creative the cake was. On top of it's visually pleasing aesthetic, it also tasted very good. I did the top or smaller tier in the traditional white with lemon (for the non-chocolate lovers) and the bottom in semi-sweet chocolate chunk. The bottom also had a combination of hazelnut, buttercream, and chocolate mousse fillings. Everyone raved about how delicious the bottom cake was and of course asked where I got it from (Not Just Cheesecakes). It was a really nice balance of the semi-sweet chocolate chips in the traditional cake batter so it wasn't and overwhelming amount of chocolate. This was my first time using Debbie, but I am already scheduling to use her for my baby shower as well. read more

Not Just Cheesecakes - Two-Tier Fiesta Cake for my daughter's third birthday - Bakeries Near Me - Campbell, California

Debbie did an amazing job with our son's 3rd birthday cake! She listens to what your vision of the cake is and executed to perfection. She also provides such great suggestions for consideration. You can tell she takes great pride in her product. She did our engagement cake for us 10 years ago and we are so glad to have reconnected for this cake. We had a pumpkin spice with cinnamon buttercream top layer and white cake with chocolate orange ganache and orange curd layers. Absolutely wonderful cake but an even better person! read more

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Debbie for our recent wedding. We asked Debbie for a tasting at the beginning of November 2009 based on a friend's recommendation. This friend had gone to 16 different cake tastings before choosing Not Just Cheesecakes, so we trusted her judgment that Debbie was the best! I had some trouble connecting directly with Debbie, due to the limited times she listens to and returns calls (Tues. and Wed.), but eventually she got me and my now husband in for a tasting a couple weeks later. It also became easier to communicate with her once I had her working email address. From the moment we met, she was like an old friend. It was so easy to talk to her, and it seemed like she understood and had a passion for our vision of a simple vintage-looking cake with just buttercream frosting. When it came to the cake flavors, my mouth did cartwheels when I tried the first taste of her red velvet cake. Hands down the best red velvet cake I've ever tasted. We chose to go with that with cream cheese and chocolate ganache filling. We also chose to go with a vanilla cake and orange and raspberry compote. Best of all, she sent us home with the rest of the tasting cakes and a sample of her delicious cheesecake! We finalized the flavors and design details a couple weeks before the wedding. She agreed to copy the design in a picture I showed her, and she also planned to provide some ivory and fuchsia ranunculus. On the wedding day itself, when she arrived at 11 am and was told that we wouldn't be cutting the cake until closer to 1, she decided to leave and return again so that the cake wouldn't be sitting out in the heat. She also brought a vintage milk glass cake stand and a beautiful crocheted tablecloth that perfectly went with our aesthetic. The cake's frosting design wasn't *quite* what I had in mind -- it was a little too much like knockdown wall texture and less like the light and airy inspiration photo -- but overall, my husband and I were pleased. We thought we would have some cake left over, and we were disappointed to learn that there was nothing left -- maybe we underestimated the amount needed for our 80 guests? The guests all raved about the cake, and we thought it tasted fantastic (based on the 5-10 bites we got). Maybe the guests liked it so much that they had seconds?? We're excited that Debbie offered to make us mini-cakes since we missed out on most of our cake, and I believe she also said she would be happy to make us one for our 1-year anniversary. Debbie's cake is so great, that we'll definitely be taking her up on that!! My husband and I really enjoyed working with Debbie, and our wedding cake was delicious. read more

Finally getting around to reviewing wedding vendors.... Can I just say, my husband and I love Debbie! Beginning with our tasting, she was a pleasure to work with. She makes fresh cakes for tasting, and even sends you home with the leftovers. Not only are her cakes incredibly tasty, but they're beautiful too! She is such a lovely woman.We really enjoyed working with her.She's honest, easygoing, and has a great sense of humor. She made some suggestions that we took her up on, and were thrilled we did. Our wedding cake was three tiers.The flavors we chose were: (bottom tier)chocolate cake, vanilla butter cream, with a layer of chocolate mousse. (middle tier) red velvet, cream cheese frosting, with a layer of chocolate ganache. (third tier)Vanilla cake, vanilla butter cream, lemon curd and berries. We absolutely loved our cake!!! It could not possibly have been any better. A few of our guests confessed that they were worried it wouldn't be very good because it was so pretty. I had some ideas in terms of design & colors, and she came up with great ways to bring them to fruition. It turned out better than we had even imagined. She also put gorgeous flowers from her garden on the cake, (they lasted better than some of the flowers from the florist!) I must add, she saved my bouquet the day of the wedding.Lucky for me, she had some beautiful ribbon in her bag, and re-wrapped my bouquet, (it was coming undone and you could see the foil!) Some people have mentioned she can be difficult to get a hold of.Phone-wise, this is true.Get her email address, and she responds promptly. Her prices are very reasonable too! I can't recommend her enough. We adored her and her cakes!!! read more

I was planning my fiance's birthday party a month ago, and was doing some research for a custom birthday cake. Where did I turn to to start my research? Yelp, of course! I was excited to contact Not Just Cheesecakes based on their raving reviews, but I guess I will never find out just how delicious their cakes are. Did you ask why? Well, maybe it's because I tried calling a dozen times (over a span of 5 business days) and every single time I called the phone just rang off the hook, or could it be that I was just unlucky? Wait, no, I'm pretty sure it's because they NEVER returned my message. For those customers that were fortunate enough to reach someone at Not Just Cheesecakes, congratulations... I guess I was JUST NOT that lucky. Dated: Monday, 3/19/2012 I received this message (at the very bottom) from the owner, after her response to my initial review above accusing me of personally attacking her. Debbie, I am very sorry that you feel personally attacked by my review above. My intention was to provide a review for other readers based on my experience with Not Just Cheesecakes. And unfortunately, my experience with your establishment was not positive. I did not write this review simply based on calling you once and you not picking up. I called your business line for a week; first I called and the phone just rang, so I tried again the next day and I left a message, when I still didn't hear anything back, I tried again the next day. If you had an email address listed on your website, I would have emailed you as well. I didn't give up that easily. My review is a legitimate review based on the SERVICE I received from Not Just Cheesecakes. To me, Yelp is not a venue for lashing out at businesses, or a place for personal attacks. I believe Yelp is a place to share your experiences with fellow Yelpers, in a professional and safe environment without fear of being berated or tried to be censured by business owners. I am sure you are a very capable cake designer, and that my review will not hinder any future business. I know a negative review is disheartening, but I think whether you are a big corporation or a small business owner, you have to come to grips with the fact that you can't please everyone (as tough as that might be). Email sent by owner, Debbie C. "Peggy. as I stated in my response to your comment, as it is a comment not a review...I have no record of you calling, at all. As you stated, the phone "kept ringing for 5 days" you were not able to leave a message. Not the possibility of the line just being busy, not the possibility of you dialing wrong, not the possibility of bad timing. but attacking me personally. You basically giving me a negative review for a busy phone line. I will be discussing this with Yelp as I feel it is grossly unfair." read more

I got married in early May 2012 and shopped around a LOT for a great artist to do our wedding cake. We literally went to about a dozen cake tastings in the bay area before choosing Debbie and Not Just Cheesecakes. Why did we choose this vendor? Debbie makes wonderful cheesecakes! Honestly, my husband and I love cheesecake, and it was great to have a non-traditional choice for our wedding day. Her regular cake was pretty tasty as well, but the cheesecake got us hooked. Our cake consisted of three tiers to feed about 40 people. The bottom tier was a lemon mousse cheesecake filled with raspberries, and the top two tiers were chocolate hazelnut cheesecake filled with a hazelnut ganache. Amazing! The cake was iced in an ivory fondant with a green leaf pattern. Debbie delivered the cake to our wedding venue, Tarragon Restaurant, in Sunnyvale. Another thing we loved about Not Just Cheesecakes was that the price was very affordable. (Now, keep in mind that this is the wedding industry.) But Debbie gave us a lovely 3-tier wedding cake for less than most vendors would give us a measly 2-tier cake. She also threw in a wooden cake stand for free. And for a very small fee, Debbie provided two mini-cheesecakes for our gluten free and diabetic guests. I promise you, EVERYONE enjoyed the cake. We had to stop the best man from trying to take half-eaten guest pieces home with him. The only drawback to working with Debbie was being able to get in touch with her. She only checks her messages periodically throughout the week. However, if you ask her for her email address, she is more responsive that way. Overall, we really enjoyed working with Debbie and loved our cheesecake wedding cake. We even brought a portion of it with us on our honeymoon. ;) read more

Debbie is amazing! My sister's wedding and bridal shower cheesecake tasted phenomenal! She truly understood the vision! Please support this amazing business! Debbie was so sweet and supportive throughout the whole process. read more

First I will walk you through this amazing process of picking out a cake to the wedding day: We (my now wife and I) sat down with Debbie to discuss the design of the cake. She really captures your vision for what you want the cake to look like. She also takes time out of her insanely busy schedule to just get to know you. That also plays into how your cake will look. Next, we went to a cake tasting and let me tell you there is no skimping on cake slices here. We tried 12 different cakes and I expected only a bite, but it was a full slice. We ended up going with a two-flavor cake. It alternated by level between tiramisu cake (my choice) and a lemon mousse cheesecake (amazing choice by my wife). Finally the wedding day was here!! She was early and made sure everything was taken care of. It was very easy. Now for the taste of the cake...one word...wait for it......A-MAZING!! I for one think that it's difficult to convert a fluffy tiramisu dessert into a cake since it could easily just become a blob, but she more then surprised me. Since my wedding party failed to eat their slices in a timely fashion, I took the honor of eating a full 3 slices. The lemon mousse cheesecake was phenomenal and I really enjoyed the strong flavor as well as it being light due to the mousse-like quality. If you know Debbie made the cake at a wedding or anywhere for that matter, do not decline a slice. You will be sorry. All in all, my wedding day was the best day of my life and Debbie and her cake assisted in making that happen. It truly was special. Also a side thank you to her husband who I know is usually behind the scenes, but I know helps out too! read more

Debbie, Debbie, Debbie! I want to be friends with YOU ;) Thank you so much for being part of our celebration and for making such an amazing cake AND dessert bar for us! xoxo Caryn Ok, now I can write the review... My husband and I tasted cakes from 10 different bakers and nothing came even close to the taste, quality and service we received from Debbie. We were very specific with what we were looking for and maintained that we did not want to compromise on the quality of the cake, but it was also important that we liked who we were working with. Not only did Debbie bake us mini sample cakes on our first appointment, she also made us a mini sample of what we talked about for our final cake, just to make sure we were on the same page. She created a perfect composition of a "Princess Cake" (which is our favorite) but that could withstand five hours of non refrigeration without melting away. It was layers of orange scented chiffon cake, (which had perfect texture you would expect from a REAL chiffon cake) with fresh raspberry, raspberry preserve, (she made from scratcth) and whipped cream, all wrapped within a delicious thin layer of marzipan. OMG our guest were raving at how delicious our cake was and people wanted SECONDS! Plus it was extremely beautiful. Debbie, had so many amazing ideas and she tells you what works and doesn't. She took the paisley and peonies from my invitation and reinterpreted it onto my cake. She also made some beautiful sugar peonies (which everyone thought were real flowers) for my cake topper. Stunning! Dessert Bar: My husband is Iranian and traditionally Iranians will always have a sweets (Shirni) table, but I wanted to do a dessert bar with traditional Persian cookies, but also incorporate some of our favorite desserts. I frantically called Debbie 1 1/2 weeks before the wedding asking if she could whipp up a dessert bar incorporating the Persian sweets and she enthusiastically agreed. With such late notice I didn't expect much, but when we got together to discuss what we were going to do Debbie and her partner came with such amazing ideas. They really complete your vision thinking of everything from linens, flowers, dessert choices and overall theme and look. WOW! Really above and beyond of what I expected, and all the while working within the budget you specify. Magical! :) Raves on all of the desserts that were made, espcially her Carmel Cheesecake! Afterall, her business is called Not Just Cheesecake....but make sure you get the Cheesecake! I have posted some pics, Enjoy! I hope you will be lucky enough to work with Debbie for your special event as I did. She is simply the best! read more

It doesn't get better than this! I'm so happy to have found Deb! Yes, she is a bit difficult to get a hold of, so it can be a bit worrisome for the type A control freaks. But rest assured, she will deliver! And she will do it with a sweet smile and a beautiful and delicious cake in hand! I called Deb and left a voicemail regarding a cake for my sister's baby shower. She called back a few days later and we discussed flavors, guest count, colors and design. I went with the toasted almond cake with raspberry puree filling. After we got off the phone, I sent her some color samples and inspiration photos for the design. She did take some time to get back to me, so make sure you contact her early and allow at least 3-4 weeks before your "small" event. Wedding cakes are a whole different ball game. Once I emailed her again, she came back with a super cute design idea and quote for the cake. I was really pleased with her quote since I did have some comps and have ordered a handful of specialty cakes for my own wedding and other events. All her cakes are 3 layers so she later surprised me and emailed me that one layer would have the raspberry puree filling in between and asked if I would like the other layer to be filled chocolate ganache. Yum! When I went to go pick up the cake, I was completely floored with the finished product. The design came out WAY cuter than I had even envisioned. It was perfect and the detailing was amazing. Debbie helped walk the cake out to my car and I was on my way. The cake was SO moist and delicious and the guests were still raving about it weeks after the event. There are too many cakes out there that just taste like sugar and not the actual flavor. Not Debbie's cakes! You could taste the almond, raspberry and chocolate! *drooool* Debbie is about to get even busier since so many of the guests asked me where the cake came from! read more

Not Just Cheesecakes - Isn't this the cutest bee themed baby shower cake!? - Bakeries Near Me - Campbell, California

Debbie made my wife Jennifer and my wedding cake about four years ago and I wanted to give a review. The cake was absolutely beautiful!!! Debbie and my wife worked really close together on it. Debbie was even able to copy some of the pattern from my wife dress onto one of the layers. We had different flavors for the layers and they were all delicious. They even surprised me with a Raiders groomsmen cake!!! We ordered a second cake for the release of the Johnny Depp's Charlie and the chocolate factory and she made a beautiful version of the mad hatter's hat. Thanks for the cakes. read more

I LOVE Not Just Cheesecakes! Debbie and the others that work with her are the nicest and most creative people! Debbie is doing our cake for our August 2009 wedding and I recently saw the mock up design - it was 100 times more beautiful than anything I could have imagined and I am super excited for our cake now! I think it might be my favorite part of the wedding so far (besides marrying the man I love ;) We did a tasting and each and every cake was delicious! If you want a beautiful, delicious cake for any event - wedding, birthday, baby shower, bridal shower, etc.. - give Debbie a call! She is the best! (She not only offered amazing help with the cake, but with centerpiece ideas and linen ideas). read more

From the moment we had the tasting for our wedding that took place in June 2009, we were hooked! She welcomed us with her sweet and energetic personality to try four different flavors of cakes (that were each the size of mini cakes) and a plethora of toppings and fillings! It was literally a feast for my mom, husband and I. Everything was beyond delicious!!! We left happily with full bellies and a smile on our face! She even let us take home the left overs which we shared with my in-laws. And on top of it being the most delicous cake she is one of the most CREATIVE and TALENTED cake artists! Seriously!!! I showed her a picture of a Martha Stewart cake and she copied it perfectly and even added a few of her own creative additions (I gave her free-reign as I trusted her 100%)! I received so MANY COMPLIMENTS about the cake-who new a wedding cake could taste so good???!!? YUMM!! I am going to use her for many upcoming birthday parties and special events. And please don't let her lack of quickly responding to emails and phone calls deter you from hiring her-she will deliver wonderfully for your special event. She is a busy bee and gives so much attention and care to her cakes. Bon Appetite! read more

Debbie is amazing. Debbie's cake are amazing. Debbie created a masterpiece for our wedding and for several birthdays/events. Based on the different cakes (cheesecake included, I've had about 6 different cakes) I've tasted; I conclude that you will not find a better cake anywhere. Yes... you heard that correctly. Debbie's cakes are better then your mom's and grandmom's cakes. Seriously. As far as creativity goes, the cakes I have seen and tasted have been absolutely beautiful. If I could post html here, I would to show you. read more

Debbie is absolutely amazing both professionally and personally. She talked to my husband and I about what we wanted for our wedding cake for at least 30 minutes and then made samples that were to die for! The wedding cake itself was perfect - exactly what we wanted and tasted wonderful! We had the white cake with chocolate frosting (I'm pretty sure it has a fancier name like "ganache") and the red velvet with cream cheese frosting. I definitely plan to go back and get our 1-year anniversary cake from her. Also, her prices are incredibly reasonable, as far as wedding cakes are concerned, and definitely worth it! One last note... Debbie responds to e-mail more readily than the phone, BUT I did reach her directly on a few occasions. However, I'm also more of an e-mail person myself, so that was fine by me (also, that's how I typically communicate with businesses). read more

After hearing several recommendations, I attempted to book a consultation for a wedding cake. My call was not returned for several weeks, and when it was, it was her assistant, who didn't have the most polite phone manner and basically insisted that it must have been my mistake. I tried calling back to change an appointment time, and the assistant and Debbie did not return my calls. Finally, my aunt, who had met Debbie, left a note under her door. When Debbie called, she offered no explanation for what had happened and did not take responsibility or sincerely apologize, in my opinion. To me, it seemed like her attitude was that she was the best and didn't have to try as hard. Finally, the consult, which her assistant had said would be a tasting. We show up with a 5 year old, expecting cake tasting, and instead attended an hourlong meeting, gave the same information we'd given on the phone, and set up another time to pick up the cakes she made. When I arrived at the appointed time, she was nowhere to be found, and after I called her to ask, she said she lost track of time and totally forgot she was going to meet me. I was willing to let one or two miscommunications go, but after all of that, I did not feel valued as a customer at all and did not feel good about giving money to this business. We did pick up the cake samples, which were well crafted; but really rich and a bit sweet for my taste. If you like really complex cakes with tons of flavors, you'll probably like it. I just don't think I need to work that hard to pay someone a boatload of money to make a wedding cake for me if they're not into it. read more

Debbie is fantastic!! The cake for my daughter's wedding was perfection! I couldn't have been happier! Thank you so much for everything you suggested at the tasting appointment and for making this one part of the day that I didn't have to think about, I knew you had it all taken care of! read more

Not Just Cheesecakes - Bakeries Near Me - Campbell, California

I don't doubt that their cakes are good, I'm only giving this place a weak review because the initial service and punctuality was very poor (two elements in a business that mean a great deal to me) I was eager to try them out, especially after reading such raging reviews, but I couldn't even get a hold of these people. I tried calling several times to schedule a cake tasting and there was no answer for days. Then, I get a call back and voicemail talking about group tastings once every few months or something? Ok that's fine. Again, I attempted returning their call only to be left unanswered for days on end! Attempt number three, desperate to touch base with someone, anyone, I drove all the way from Mountain View to their location on a friday afternoon to discover they're closed with the blinds drawn. I understand that they're by appointment only, but I was hoping I'd get lucky with maybe somebody there. I couldn't figure out if they were still in business or moved locations or what? It was frustrating, especially since I was determined to find a good baker for my wedding. read more

The cake was awesome! Debbie is a doll to deal with. The cake was moist and yummy -- lots of layers of filling. I sent her a party invitation, and she designed the cake to match very well. She also made a small baby smash cake for the birthday boy. Got lots of compliments! We'll certainly give her a call next time we need a special cake. As most of the other reviews say, Debbie is very hard to get a hold of. I called a few weeks before my event, and amazingly got a call back the next day. Since I was out, and hadn't decided on flavors yet, I wasn't able to firm up the order then. I called back the next day...the next week....the week after that...and finally got a call back. I was getting a bit panicked that they were going to be too busy and I'd be without a cake for my son's 1st, but they had put me on their calendar when we first spoke. When Debbie called me a few days before the event (I'd spoken with her assistant previously), she was such a pleasure to speak with (and the cake turned out so great) it kinda made me forget how worried I'd gotten waiting for a call back. read more

Debbie did my wedding and most recent birthday cakes. She did a fantastic red velvet with cream cheese frosting, and a layer of chocolate. It was awesome! There weren't any leftovers to take home! She decorated it with a layer of modeling chocolate to give it a smooth look, and a little white chocolate for contrast. Debbie is really nice lady, and we love chatting with her when we get our cakes. She is a one woman show, so she might not get back to you right away, but she will. And as it gets closer to the date, she gets more focused on your cake. read more

Debbie created the most beautiful and delicious cake imaginable for our wedding. She had the guests calling out for seconds and some thirds. We will definitely be looking for a good excuse to go back to her. She was fun and easy to work with. 5 stars! read more

Not Just Cheesecakes - It came out perfect! We love it!! - Bakeries Near Me - Campbell, California

Debbie did an amazing job on our wedding cake. It's exactly what we asked for, and it tasted wonderful!! We had the praline cheesecake with salted caramel filling as 2 of the tiers, and hazelnut cheesecake as 1 of the tier. We brought the top tier home, and we couldn't help but finished it within a week, that's how good it was! My husband and I have already decided to order another one next year on our anniversary. read more

Loveeeee Not Just Cheesecakes! Debbie is awesome! We got married in November and did our wedding cake with her. We visited twice, once to talk about the ideas and taste and another for tasting. I feel in love with the pumpkin cake! We got married in November so lucky it was perfect timing. I'm not a pumpkin person at all but Debbie promised I would love it. She made a sample of all the flavors we wanted; burnt almond & red velvet and she also decided to make pumpkin for us to try. I feel in love! I had to add it to the list! She made the cake exactly how I wanted it and we got compliments from all of our guests. Now we have a baby on the way and will def be getting our baby shower cake with her too! read more

To follow up on my previous review, the groom's cake was the hit of the wedding! It was shaped like law school books with real names that I'd given Debbie. Awesome! It was so tasty that people were fighting to get a piece. Since then I've also ordered a cake for my grandfather's birthday which was delicious as well. I highly recommend Debbie!! read more

WOW! That is probably enough said about Debbie, her cake, and her service. Debbie is the nicest gal we have ever met, in general and as our wedding cake vendor! Her cake was one of the best parts of our wedding, we loved it soooo much. she took my wife's vision and made it come to life for our wedding. We're coming to her for ALL of our bakery needs from now on!!! We were nearly speechless when we took the first bite of our wedding cake. EVERYONE of our guests raved about it. Even my dad, who doesn't like cake, came up to me to say that the cake was so good! read more

My wife was stressed about the wedding cake, we met with so many but all of them were complicated and hard to work with. Right as she was about to settle, here comes Debbie to the rescue. She was easy to work with and her cakes were exactly what my wife wanted. She even made a football/ basketball cake for me. I'm not big on cake, but hers tasted amazing. Thank you so much read more
