Of course husband last minute says day of birthday celebration that we need a cake. Found Izumi…read moreCakes on Yelp and was bummed at first because the soonest online reservation for a cake would be two days later. Husband called them around 11am and they said they were in the middle of making their strawberry cakes so they could add our order in for a same day pickup at 4pm. Pickup went well and the cake was so cute and it tasted great! Like the Chinese bakery strawberry cream cake with a moist sponge cake; not too sweet, just right. Might sound basic but it was done very well. Would 100% recommend. I don't know prices for cakes nowadays but I didn't feel bad paying about $60 for a cute and tasty cake (6", strawberry cream cake). I wouldn't bank on same day pickups, I might've just been very lucky they were in the middle of making their cakes but it wouldn't hurt to try calling early in the day if you're in a pinch for a solid cake. I'm very thankful for their service!

My sister stumbled across Izumi Cakes while she was looking for something to celebrate our matcha…read moreloving cousin. Izumi seemed perfect given the fact that there are a good variation of sizes that could be bought. Not everyone is a matcha lover and our family tends to gravitate away from cakes, we appreciated the smaller options. The Kyoto Matcha was purchased. The design was simply but had a slightly fancy feel to it- exactly what we were hoping for! There was strong scent of matcha coming from the top drip design and we couldn't be more excited for our matcha bae. Fast Forward: The cake is super soft, fluffy, and oh so very light. The cake in itself was not super sweet- very typical of Asian cakes. The matcha flavor was unfortunately too mellow for us. 3 stars for the cake in itself but the rating is bumped up to a 4 because the presentation is so cute! Matcha wasn't what we were looking for but we may be inclined to try other flavors in the future.

Everyone at the baby shower could not stop complimenting the cake and asking where it was from. Sweet Passion's Bakery never disappoints. They consistently deliver excellence, and you can truly taste the love and care put into their cakes. I will absolutely continue using them for all my special occasions and highly recommend them to anyone looking for an incredible cake.

NOT YOUR TYPICAL DIAPER CAKE (5 stars)…read more Are you.... Tired of searching Pinterest for ideas Looking for a very creative diaper cake engineer Want to be THAT girlfriend with the best diaper cake at the party When I first saw the SFGiants Themed Diaper Cake (with the GG Bridge) at a baby shower party, I honestly said that was the best diaper cake I've ever seen. It totally trumped my so called diaper cake and any other diaper cake at the party. I was sold and was determined to bring something fabulous like that at my next baby shower. You want the best for your friends who are expecting. I don't have kids of my own (yet) and your friends baby showers are the closest thing to one, so why not spoil them!!!! - Beyond the details, it definitely isn't from pinterest - Any theme (sports theme, beach theme, holiday theme, whatever you want theme, etc) - It feels good to have a better gift then other people Latisha takes note of what you want in a diaper cake and really makes the theme pop. Adds extra detail, it is ALL ABOUT THE DETAILS!!! My friends had a beach wedding so I thought it would be best to get them a beach theme diaper cake for their Baby Ben (check out the photo). I paid $100 for the cake and thought it was fair. Saved me time, didn't have to buy all the materials, and it had more creativity then what I can put in.

I couldn't have asked for a better experience when working with Laurel for my wedding cake. :)…read more Listen, I'm a foodie and I know a few things when it comes to cake. Laurel is the real deal! I tried a couple of her famous flavors before deciding- Neapolitan and an intense chocolate cake (I forget the exact name). Holy cannoli. First we'll talk about the Neapolitan- amazingly clever layers of chocolate and vanilla cake with not-too-sweet strawberry cream. Laurel's cake texture is perfection every time, moist and soft. The flavors were scrumptious. LOVE ON A PLATE. The chocolate which I got for my then fiance's birthday. Delicious, moist chocolate cake with layers of filling- chocolate buttercream (which I would bathe in if given the chance and guarantee that no one would judge me) as well as a light chocolate mousse. It was delicious but not too rich so that I could enjoy my whole piece of cake. I went with the Neapolitan for our wedding cake. It was gorgeous and amazing, beautifully decorated. People said they really liked it, including my sister and she is extremely picky. :P I will be going to Laurel for future cakes! I'll attach pictures when I get a chance. :)
