After placing the online order for a cake I was able to direct message her through instagram. I was hoping for her to write "Happy Birthday" in mermaid colors. When she responded with a color palate at no extra charge I was excited to see and taste the cake. Upon arrival I was blown away with a beautiful, detailed, perfect mermaid themed cake. My friend was so happy and the candles I got were perfect. Not only was the cake so well crafted it was delicious and held up so nicely we enjoyed it for 2-3 days at our beach house. I plan on using Loviana cakes for my babies first birthday and every birthday to follow! Thank you so much

I…read morewas looking to gift custom cookies for an event I was hosting and Miriam was a delight to work with. I placed a custom sugar cookie order on Sweet Vanilla Bake Shop's website and heard back within 24 hours. We discussed additional design and delivery logistics over email. Miriam is super thorough and was so considerate of my ever-changing requests. I landed on 2 dozen-- 8 sets of 3 custom cookies each. On delivery day, the cookies were delivered promptly within my requested window. She even included extras which I was so grateful for-- they were devoured immediately (so. good.). I assumed that the cookies would be bundled in a simple cellophane bag, but these were individually wrapped and THEN carefully packaged in these adorable boxes. Just above and beyond. Everyone was raving about the cookies that night! My pics don't do these cookies justice :') They're so beautiful and well-made, melts in your mouth and just the right amount of sweet. The design was perfect. Thank you to Miriam!!! Hope to work with you again for more events :)

I was…read morelooking for a bakery in the Walnut Creek area who could do character-themed cakes and didn't actually find that many until I found Carmen's business. Our requirements were not high...just needed a themed cake to serve about 25. Not only did Carmen do an amazing job decorating it exactly how we wanted, but the cake actually tasted amazing! We wanted a basic white/vanilla cake with berries. It actually tasted better than the Whole Foods Berry Chantilly cake (which is my favorite). Please go to Carmen for all your cake needs! After COVID she now runs her business out of her home and could use all the support! She is a lovely lady!

Le Gâteau Élégant Bakery…read more I really like this place. The princess cake is good...very pretty and well made ...and the staff is helpful and kind. This is an old establishment that used to be in Martinez, which brings back memories for me. When I was in high school, my best friend's dad used to drive to Martinez to get her a princess cake every year for her birthday. I was instantly hooked. Is it as great as the princess cake from the city? Not quite. But it's still wonderful, classic, and nostalgic, and I'm really glad they're still around
