We got married in San Diego in June 2024 and worked w/ Peggy for our cakes and desserts. Everything was delicious and beautiful and Peggy was very easy and pleasant to work with. We would definitely recommend! We had ~70 people and chose the 3 tier cake (4-6-8") w/ passionfruit in 2 layers and citrus olive oil cake with raspberry jam in the middle layer. The cake was beautiful--it had flowers made from icing which were stunning--and tasted great. We also had 4 desserts: the matcha cheesecake bites, mini fruit tarts, dark chocolate mini cupcakes, and Peggy also made some pineapple cakes for us custom that were fantastic. read more

Peggy Liao Cake - Custom Cakes Near Me

If you want a beautiful wedding cake, one where guests will come up to you after the wedding saying they had NEVER seen a cake like that before - hire Peggy. If you want a delicious cake, one that tastes fresh, flavorful, and fluffly - hire Peggy. If you want a dessert table with variety treats for the guests that are both gorgeously decorated and tasty - hire Peggy. Peggy was hands down the most responsible, talented, responsive cake designer/baker I would ever asked for. From the moment we connected she was so communicated about her price, style, and cake flavor. She customized our cake based on our wedding theme and designed a dessert table that was within our budget and fit our venue perfectly. Not only that, but her cakes were SOOOOOOOO delicious - she has so many wedding cake flavors to choose from - Vanilla bean cake (with mix berries), Black Forest, butter, almond, and olive oil. When we did our cake tasting we had so much trouble choosing a flavor because they were ALL SO GOOD. All of them had layers of taste that burst in our taste buds. Peggy's cakes really felt more like a high-end bakery place rather than wedding cake. My husband and I are actually thinking about ordering different flavors for our anniversary... Also Peggy's cakes are BEAUTIFUL. this is not just some flowers placed on a white cake. This is cake designing at its best. Her instagram will show you how beautiful her cakes are. But most important - Peggy worked with our theme and venue to design the cake. The result was a cake that served as a centerpiece itself. We also order small desserts from Peggy along with our wedding cake. Let's just say that the desserts were gone within 10 mins. If we had known how much our guests enjoyed the desserts, we probably would have ordered more. All we could hear after the wedding from friends and family was how much they loved the desserts, especially "OMG THE MATCHA CAKE BITES" from multiple guests! We cannot recommend Peggy more - have no doubt that Peggy WILL DELIVER your dream cake!! read more

We hired Peggy for our wedding in June 2022. I initially found her through my own wedding vendor research, but she was also recommended by our original wedding planner (we ended up switching since she had too many personal commitments to follow through, but that's another story). Peggy was EASILY one of our top 2 vendors for the entire wedding. Her cakes and desserts are beautiful, delicious, and well-made. Relatives and other people had recommended for me to go for a "display" cake with cheap grocery store or bargain sheet cakes for the guests, as "no one cared about dessert" - but I cared! I have a huge sweet tooth and I love desserts! Peggy's cakes were perfectly moist, flavorful, and a perfect balance of sweetness. I had a tasting with one other dessert vendor, and their cake was much drier in comparison. Not only that, but Peggy's cakes are gorgeous! We immediately booked with Peggy and ended up ordering two cakes (one two-tiered and one one-tiered), since we liked both flavors so much. We also added a variety of desserts, which we did not have the opportunity to try during the tasting (I don't blame her, there were a lot of options!). After we had booked her, we went to a wedding expo to scope out some other vendors we hadn't yet booked, and Peggy happened to be there too! We tried one of her newer desserts that hadn't been available on her original ordering menu, and it was so amazing that we emailed her right after the event to add it to our order. At our wedding, the caterer put out the desserts towards the end of cocktail hour instead of at the end of the night, and one of the desserts actually ran out before the catering or our planner could put some aside for us! We told Peggy, and she was kind enough to whip up a batch for us when we dropped by to return her rentals. Even though we ordered more cake and desserts than was recommended for a wedding party of our size, and even with dozens of guests cancelling their RSVPs, we had no dessert left at the end of the wedding! I was actually looking forward to leftover wedding cake, haha. Not only was it a highlight of my wedding day, Peggy was so overwhelmingly easy to work with. She had everything together, and unlike other vendors, she did not forget any of our requests. She delivered exactly what we asked for, and did so flawlessly which took a lot of stress out of one part of wedding planning. I would not hesitate to order a cake or desserts again from her if I could. 10/10, would not hesitate to hire Peggy again. read more

10/10 for Peggy and her beautiful cakes!!! We used Peggy for our wedding in March 2024 and she created the MOST GORGEOUS and DELICIOUS CAKE OF OUR DREAMS. Peggy is so sweet, creative, kind, and professional. She takes the time to really understand your vision and pull all your input in to make the most perfect cake for your day and style. From the cake tasting, which she thoughtfully prepared with labels/cute packaging/adorable napkins, to the planning calls, to the wedding day itself, she was amazing throughout the whole process! All her cakes are also DELICIOUS and perfectly moist. We honestly had a hard time deciding which flavors to choose but ended up going with Lemon cake ( sponge cake with lemon curd and lemon butter cream) and Vanilla cake with passionfruit curd, mascarpone, blueberries sauce, and cream cheese frosting! I also want to note prior to Peggy, we tasted several different cakes and desserts from various local shops and none were as good or fresh as Peggy's! Come our wedding day, it was so much fun to see what Peggy had created and we truly were in LOVE with this tasty and gorgeous work of art! PEGGY IS THE BEST AND SO ARE HER CAKES - book her for your wedding or any occasion, you won't regret it!! Thank you so much Peggy for making such a special cake. We are so very grateful!! read more

Peggy is the absolute best and I'm so happy that she was available to create all the desserts for my wedding! She is so sweet, incredibly talented, and has a great eye for designing the perfect cake for her couples! She has a wide range of flavors to choose from and makes the cake designing process really fun and easy. She is truly an artist and amazing baker/pastry maker. My husband and I had a great tasting experience and left excited with a box of our leftover treats to enjoy on the car ride home. It was a hard decision because they were all amazing, but we ended up picking the vanilla cake with passionfruit curd, mascarpone cream, blueberry sauce and cream cheese frosting as well as the cream puffs w/ ube and passionfruit cream, tiramisu verrines, brownie bites and mini fruit tarts. My side of the family prefers lighter, not-so-sweet desserts and my husband's side prefers rich, decadent desserts. Peggy made sure that we had something to satisfy everyone's sweet tooth! On our wedding day, it was no surprise that all our guests LOVED our wedding cake and mini desserts. We had about 75 people and the entire three tier cake was gone by the end of the night! Luckily, my husband and I were able to have a couple of mini desserts to eat after our reception ended. We even had one of our engaged couple friends ask us who made our cake because they loved it so much! Thank you for making our wedding day much sweeter and so special! read more

Peggy is absolutely amazing. I found her via Instagram and was blown away by her work visually. We met her in person for our consultation/cake tasting...and it was mind blowing. All of her cakes are so incredibly delicious that it made it so hard to choose just one. Not to mention that she is an absolute sweetheart, and she made it her mission to create the perfect cake for our day. I had total trust in her, and let her create pretty much whatever she liked based on our overall vision of the wedding. She did not disappoint! The cake fit so well with our overall vision, it was so gorgeous. The taste was also phenomenal, and we are still getting so many compliments on how delicious it was. She is a true artist and expert in her craft. read more

All I can say is BOOK PEGGY for all of your dessert needs. Have her do your wedding cake and add on all the other dessert options she has. Not only do they look amazing but they all taste amazing as well. You will not regret booking her. She is extremely detailed and during your design meeting she really tries to get a complete understanding of what your vision is for. For our wedding we had a blueberry and passionfruit vanilla cake with cream cheese frosting. It was so good, our whole family was eating it for days. I loved her mini dessert options as well. We had one of her newer item the ube passion fruit cream puffs, and I'm so sad that during the whole wedding I only had one because all the other guest beat me to them. I can't wait to order more desserts from her in the future. read more

We found Peggy through Instagram (@peggyliaocake) and instantly fell in love with her work. We knew we wanted sugar flowers and that is the main reason we reached out to her. Our wedding cake was absolutely beautiful! Her eye for design is incredible and she is so good at what she does. We did an initial cake tasting and then spoke over the phone regarding our vision/inspiration. All her cake flavors were delicious and we ended up choosing a citrus olive oil cake with mixed berries. Our guests are still raving about it! You will not regret booking her for your wedding/event. We can't wait to order from her again! read more

My husband and I adore Peggy, as a person and dessert artist. We were told by our wedding planner that Peggy is the best in the business and that is absolutely right. During our cake tasting, we fell in love with every single cake. It was difficult to choose which cake was going to be served as our wedding cake, because everything was incredible. Peggy has a talent for putting together unique flavors and elevating classics. We gave her quite a unique cake idea and our final cake was better than we imagined. Peggy gave us as many proofs and sketches as we wanted. She created a cake that reflected our love story. She really cares to give every single couple or customer exactly what they ask for. We felt so fortunate to have Peggy make our wedding cake and would recommend her to anyone in need of desserts. read more

Peggy was so amazing! It was so easy to get a hold of her and schedule a tasting appointment, and we fell in love with her baking at first taste. All her desserts were amazing and not overly sweet, which was a major win in our book. She has a variety of desserts that she bakes, and gave us different options that we can go with depending on the size of your wedding. We ended up going with a three tier cake and ordered additional sheet cakes to accommodate our guest size. I wanted flowers to add on as decor for the cake, which Peggy offered to purchase herself so I would not have to worry about that. Between the time of us booking Peggy and our wedding, she had learned new techniques and asked if we wanted gold accents on our cake. I follow her on Instagram and had seen how beautiful those cakes turned out, so I agreed! She came to the venue to set up all the desserts the day of, and when I walked into our venue to see everything set up, it was better than I could ever imagine! The cake was so beautiful and was everything I could dream of! I would say, the dessert was the highlight of our wedding. All my guests loved the desserts and the cake! It was so moist and they loved the flavor choice (we picked passion fruit). We even were asked by multiple guests after the wedding for her information so they could order cakes for the our friends' next parties, weddings, and events! At the end of the night, Peggy came back to the venue to pick up all the cake and dessert stands that we had borrowed. She was even so kind to take back the two tiers of our cake that we did not cut into and, unfortunately, did not have room to store at the hotel we were staying at. When we went to pick it back up on Monday, Peggy had redecorated each tier of the untouched cake and both the presentations were beautiful! I wish I had photos, but because I had 2 tiers left, there was room to share more slices of cake with my family and friends. Overall, I was very happy with my choice on going with Peggy and would highly recommend her desserts to anyone and everyone. read more

We found Peggy through our wedding planner's recommended vendor list and we're so happy we did! We didn't know what to expect with the cake selection process, but Peggy was super easy to work with and made us feel really comfortable. After we submitted our initial inquiry, Peggy was prompt in replying and provided us with details about the menu and pricing. Everything was straightforward and there were no surprises. We were able to schedule a time to visit Peggy's home studio for a tasting. She was able to work with our schedule which was helpful since we're from Northern California and only had a few weekends in San Diego before the wedding. During the tasting, we got to try a lot of different flavor and filling combinations. One of the things we liked most was that Peggy had more traditional combinations, as well as some really unique options that we would have never considered (we ended up selecting a white cake with passion fruit and blueberry filling which was amazing). Peggy walked us through each of the beautifully presented options, sharing more details about why certain things were paired with others. It was definitely a hard choice but talking through our options with her made us feel confident in our decision. Peggy also used this time to talk to us about design. She worked with us to understand our style, showed us a couple ideas she had in mind, and after our tasting, followed up with a handful of designs for us to choose from. Being unsure of what we wanted the cake to look like when we started the process, we couldn't be happier with how it turned out. It matched the design of the rest of our wedding perfectly! We also got rave reviews from our guests who mentioned how the cake was both stunning and delicious. Peggy even delivered our cake and provided a cake stand and serving utensils - we couldn't have asked for more. If you're considering Peggy for a wedding or upcoming event, we'd highly recommend her. She puts a lot of love into her work and you can definitely tell. Thank you so much, Peggy! read more

I cannot speak more highly about Peggy! She possesses such a talent and I am so grateful we booked her for our wedding. From our cake tasting to the day of, Peggy wowed me with her flavors and design. Clearly she is passionate about her work and I felt like eating her desserts was like eating a piece of art. She is thoughtful, creative and dedicated to each project and client. I was literally SHOCKED once I saw her dessert spread at our wedding. She took her time getting to know our vision and exceeded our expectations. Her cake is A+ and her mini desserts are to die for. Aside from amazing flavors, she is extremely conscientious of your budget and I was shocked by her pricing. We loved working with her every step of the way. Thank you Peggy! read more

You know, if you don't want to read my review; at least just let her instagram do the talking: @peggyliaocake https://instagram.com/peggyliaocake She's incredibly talented and an artist. A true artist. The way her cake and desserts were setup at our wedding might as well have been an art piece. The cake exceeded my expectations. It wowed everyone. Everyone had to take pictures of it. Seriously just check out her instagram and be wowed by her creations. Not only do they look phenomenal, they taste AMAZING!! Our guests could not stop talking about the how good it was! Her desserts were sooo good too! I usually don't like bananas in cake, but her infusion into her cake changed my life. Bananas in cakes are in!! Everyone just devoured her desserts. She puts so much care and dedication to her craft, it really shows. I'm so so happy that San Diego has been graced with a person with this next level talent. THANK YOU for making our day so memorable!!! PS: She also has lots of experience with many venues in and around San Diego; so she can recommend color themes too. She's really good at that. The entire process from meeting Peggy for the first time to do taste tests at her beautiful home, to her delivery and setting up the cake was all so so easy, and DELICIOUS! read more

Cancel your other cake tasting appointments and call Peggy now. Her cakes are so unique, this is not your typical white buttercream and berry wedding cake. She made our 3-tier wedding cake, and it was both delicious and beautiful. It's hard to nail both, but she did it. Our guests loved our cake! The design was this beautiful soft blush watercolor with gold foil. Stunning, elegant and unique. We tasted a few different flavors and chose the vanilla cake with passionfruit curd, blueberry sauce, mascarpone, and cream cheese frosting. A close runner up was the banana cake with banana cream, cream cheese frosting, salted caramel and fresh banana. You may think, ok, wow, but how much is this going to cost me? Trust me, I called all the other top wedding bakeries in San Diego and she charges much less than them for a more superior product. Even her cake tasting is almost half the price of the city's leading wedding bakery. Working with her was super easy - we scheduled a cake tasting (super cute set up, very IG worthy!) and she accepts Venmo. She also rented us a super cute cake platter and delivered on time. Highly, highly recommend Peggy! read more

Peggy Liao has such a talent for making delicious desserts and cakes with immaculate designs. With our wedding in March 2022, Peggy created a beautiful cake with us and had a tasting of various flavors at her place. There were such beautiful and unique flavors like Black Forest raspberry. We ended up going with an amazing flavor which was a citrus olive oil cake with pastry cream, mascarpone, and fresh raspberries interior and exterior frosted with Italian buttercream with a lovely rose-pink and white watercolor design. She offers flower designs- sugar or fresh; She worked with our florist for the fresh flowers so that they were in line with the rest of our theme. She also provided rentals for us for desserts as well. My mother wanted more desserts last minute and Peggy graciously was able to add them about 3 weeks before. She created lovely pink themed panacotta and macarons. Our guests loved and complimented the aesthetics (which fit my fairytale pink/white theme) and of course the flavors of our desserts. HIGHLY recommend Peggy for your next event! read more

Peggy is an exceptional baker, designer and woman, who is genuinely passionate about her work. I've worked with her on and off over the past two years because our wedding was rescheduled 3x due to COVID, and I am grateful to have had various events over the time period to try out (and indulge in) many of her lovely cakes and single serving desserts. Over that time I also began following her on instagram and learned that she is constantly experimenting with improved design and adding to her creative skill set. Our wedding cake and the accompanying treats on our eventual wedding day were as beautiful as they were delicious and I 100% recommend her. On top of that, she provided some day of wedding decorative and functional pieces to our dessert table that we had overlooked, ultimately allowing us to enjoy our day stress free and perfect. Thank you Peggy! read more

Peggy Liao Cake - Wedding cake - Custom Cakes Near Me

Just like her desserts, Peggy is the sweetest! My now husband and I are not big fans of cake so we opted for a table that would feature various mini desserts. This was also a great way to get people to interact with the dessert rather than be served a single slice of cake for the evening. We decided on 4 of her signature mini desserts and requested mini churros as well since we were serving up tacos and margaritas for our wedding. The churros were amazing and she even provided a classic chocolate dipping sauce for them! She really outdid herself! Everything was amazing. People enjoyed every single option and the table was gone within minutes! My only regret is that we didn't ask for more options because I wanted to taste more of her creations! Thank you Peggy for the beautiful desserts! read more

Peggy Liao Cake has such gorgeous and unique cake designs for anyone! Such a great team and a pleasure to work with!

Peggy did an incredible, top-tier job for our wedding. We contacted and did tastings at 5+ cake vendors and hers blew us out of the water. We got a cake and various mini desserts from her. The desserts look and taste like none other. They are beautiful, intricate, and not too sweet, and her pricing is more affordable than most! She will pour her heart and soul into making amazing desserts for your wedding and is reliable and diligent. You can't go wrong with Peggy and I would strongly recommend her! My wedding planner, who has worked in the wedding industry and in San Diego for 15+ years said she is one of the best he's seen. read more

Peggy made wedding cakes and desserts for our wedding at the Darlington House in La Jolla and everything turned out perfect! One of the best decisions I made when planning my wedding. She is pleasant to work with, accommodating to our budget, approachable during the planning and super professional on the wedding day. Not only she designed a beautiful wedding cake that brought my vision into life, every thing was so DELICIOUS. Our wedding guests kept talking about how good the desserts were afterwards. To achieve the watercolor look I wanted for the wedding cake, Peggy explained different frosting options and patiently worked out a plan for us. In addition to wedding cakes, we got mini desserts - tiramisu, mango panna cotta and macha cheesecake bar. Peggy set up such a beautiful dessert table on the wedding using her own decor and handwritten dessert cards. She really listened to us and created a unique cake and dessert table for our special day. Everything was just what we expected and better. We really appreciate the amazing job she's done. We will definitely come back for more delicious cakes! read more

Our wedding planner referred us to Peggy, and we were beyond thrilled to get to work with her! We loved all the cakes from her tasting but our favorite was the black forest, which was perfectly moist and rich without being overly sweet. We showed Peggy our colors and a couple of inspiration photos, and she designed an absolutely stunning cake for our micro wedding. We went with the sugar flowers that she makes from scratch, but she also offers the option to use fresh flowers. Our family was raving about the cake for days. I continue to follow Peggy on social media and am constantly in awe of the gorgeous desserts she designs! We can't wait to work with her again for any future events. read more

Peggy is just amazing! My wedding cake and desserts were all made by Peggy. After hearing all the good stuff and reviews from friends, I decided to do a tasting with her along with other bakeries as well. Her tasting was very thorough and delicious! I couldn't even decide which flavors and different kinds of desserts to have on the wedding because they were all so yummy! First of all, she is very sweet and friendly. She listens to you and designs the cake just the way you like. My wedding cake turned out to be exactly what I wanted and even more unique and artistic. Everyone loves the wedding and desserts. I would absolutely recommend Peggy to all of you! read more

We had a super super pleasant experience with Peggy, who not only made the fantastic 3-layer wedding cake for our pre-wedding party, but also helped a lot in decorations of the event place. Peggy is so helpful and her cake has the best look and taste with reasonable price ! I would recommend her to anyone who wants to have event cakes/desserts. One of my friends refered Peggy and her amazing cake to us. We first scheduled a tasting where we tried 4 different sample cakes and various small desserts. Then we had a lot of communications not only about the cake/dessert, but also on the decorations of the party. Peggy gave us great ideas on how to decorate the place, the table of cake, as well as flowers. During the party, Peggy and her husband delivered the cake in person, and helped decorate the cake and the table, which has made our party so fancy and beatiful. I really appreciate for her business and kind help. The entire process feels almost like a good friend dedicating to make your party successful, than doing regular business with a merchant. read more

Peggy's desserts taste AMAZING and they're beautiful!! We were extremely happy with the delicious array of mini desserts and the adorable smash cake for our daughter! She even let us rent many of her beautiful cake stands and dessert platters for our event. The planning and coordination were effortless and Peggy was so lovely to work with. Our guests were sad all the desserts were gobbled up so quickly and even asked if they could have dessert before the main course haha. We originally booked Peggy for our wedding but had to delay the reception for 2 years due to COVID. By that time my husband and I already had a small impromptu wedding ceremony instead of a huge celebration and were also welcoming our first daughter. We asked if we could switch the event from a wedding reception to our daughter's first birthday celebration. Peggy was extremely flexible and understanding about the delay--we couldn't have been more grateful for her patience during those 2+ years. We HIGHLY recommend Peggy for all your custom cakes and desserts! Her flavor combinations are perfect! read more
