Soul Cake is absolutely INCREDIBLE!!!! We highly recommend Soul Cake for your elopement or wedding…read more Not only is the cake a work of art for the eyes--but the flavors and textures are expertly combined to feel as celebratory as the event. 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. You'll be so happy with your choice--we enthusiastically recommend Soul Cake! Photo Credit: Castillo Holliday Photo + Film

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 really wanted to love Noel and work with him for my wedding. We ordered a gluten free cake to…read moretaste, and the textures were all wrong: crumbly sponge, hard to cut frosting, and the filling (while delicious mexican chocolate) was almost a saving grace, was thick to cut. 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.

Her cakes are all delicious, and the variety she offers with smaller desserts in addition to a main, tiered cake gave everyone options.

So we didn't know exactly what she'd do, but the cake she created was absolutely gorgeous and became a real set piece for the event. Can't recommend her enough!

The cake portion was a bit too thin for my liking and guests also commented on how little "cake" there actually was compared to the icing. They recommended taking cake out of fridge up to an hour before serving and I highly recommend you do that because if you don't, the cake will taste dry and the icing will crumble. Service was friendly when I picked up my cake. The bakery is small, but cute!

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.

My husband and I tried the achiote chicken sandwich which had lots of good crunch from the jicama, creamy guacamole, and amazing focaccia. I appreciated that there were several kids menu options. My daughter loved the kid's egg sandwich which is a bit plain but comes with a fluffy block-y egg and melted cheese.

My go-tos are the blueberry muffin and the banana bread, though the latter has been a bit too greasy the last few times I've gotten it. (Yeah, I know, is there a limit to butter? The answer is yes, when it soaks through the brown paper bag that it comes in.) Still need to try the coffee cake, morning bun, and chocolate pain suisse. I've never come by at a time to try any of the savory sandwich/wrap options or the seasonal soft serve, which is a dang travesty. The non-coffee drinks tend to be hit or miss, especially the fruit-based matcha ones which have enough sugar to power a few hours of nonstop work emails. The employees here are super nice whenever they see a bunch of cyclists roll up every week.

I was shocked. Love how they are all so uniquely tasting and decorating, This is not a lazy bake shop. I also saw cookies, brownies, the viral dot cakes, and edible cookie dough. They also had a fridge with some beverages. If you're in the city, they do online ordering and delivery!

Very cute shop. Lots of fun and unique cupcake flavors. And best of all the owner is so nice!read more
