    A true USC cake!

    I had a custom cake made at this bakery in USC colors for my Dads birthday. It was so easy to pick up a cake tasting box & we decided on the red velvet which was delicious. The cake was beautiful & exactly what I wanted.

    It was easy to inquire about two cake ideas for my sister's 30th birthday and party. They responded right away to my inquiry the next day, and their prices were reasonable for what I was asking for. The cakes came out wonderful and exactly how I wanted them to come out!

    We were in Orange County to celebrate my mom's 80th birthday and my nephew's 22nd birthday and my brother ordered two cakes from here. One was chocolate and the other was lemon... Not only were these cakes absolutely delicious. They were beautiful. These individual cakes made the birthdays so special to have these custom, delicious cakes!! Highly recommend!! Thank you Simply Sweet Cakery!!

    After doing a lot of research, I booked them for my wedding back in June and they were LOVELY to work with! We asked them to make a vintage 2-tier marble cake plus an additional strawberry vanilla sheet cake. These things stood out to me: 1- Taste, arguably the most important thing- it was delicious! So much so, I didn't even get to try the sheet cake day of cause my guests ate it all so fast! lol Also my mom could not stop talking about how good the cake was too! 2- Communication- Emailing them was such a pleasant experience!! They were kind, clear, concise, and always responded in a timely manner. 3- Price- Their prices are pretty reasonable and when planning a wedding that is always welcomed! :) 4- Aesthetic- From their cake tasting package to how our cake looked the day of the wedding, you can tell they take the time to make things look pretty which is always a big plus!! Highly recommend! :) *Pictures by Epic Vision Studios

    My husband and I ended up booking Simply Sweet Cakery to do our cake for our wedding. Most of the time the cakes look good but is super dry, but not here. The cake looks good and tastes amazing. All of our guests loved the flavors and couldn't stop talking about it. They went above and beyond and I'm so happy with how our cake turned out

    Violet, Christina, and the Simply Sweet Cakery team are INCREDIBLE!! They were incredibly professional, responsive, and kind throughout the entire planning process. They brought our cake vision to life, and placed our cake topper of our dog on the cake in the sweetest way. We cannot thank them enough!

    The wedding cake!

    Absolutely beautiful cake. My daughter wanted a small cake for a personal cake cutting. It looked so pretty sitting on their dessert table. Plus it tasted good. (I snuck a piece!). Exactly what the bride wanted! Thanks so much!!

    This place is fabulous! From their super prompt responses and they delicious cakes, they've nailed it! I requested a gender reveal cake and they gave me a list of options and prices for me to choose from. I sent a few designs in and we were able to find one that worked in both style and budget. Their cake was absolutely gorgeous and High quality. All of my guests were commenting on how tasty it was and asking where I got it from. Will absolutely be using them in the future!

    We chose Simply Sweet Cakery for our wedding after searching through many bakeries, and honestly one of the best decisions ever! First of all, Brooke & Christina are so so sweet and kind - they truly made the wedding cake experience the best it could be. I first reached out to them via email - they are super responsive and have very reasonable cake pricing in the OC area. We chose a few flavors and picked up our tasting box from their Costa Mesa location. After the tasting, we knew SSC would be our cake choice - their cake is super moist and fluffy, and it wasn't too sweet, just right! And the white buttercream they make is soo good! We ended up getting a 2 tier wedding cake with sweet marble and lemon raspberry, as well as 8 dozen cupcakes for our dessert table. SSC delivered the cake to our venue and we also rented a few cake stands from them. We got so many compliments from our guests about how the cake and desserts were delicious and not too sweet! Overall, the entire wedding cake process was so easy and seamless with SSC! We're sooo happy with how the cake turned out and recommend Simply Sweet Cakery for anyone looking for a wedding cake or desserts. Thank you Brooke & Christina, you two are the best!

    We reached out to Simple Sweet Cakery to make our wedding cake and they were very courteous and communicative the entire time. We got to pick up a cake tasting kit to choose our flavor and the cake was ready on time and convenient to pick up. Most importantly it was insanely delicious and everyone including people who claimed they weren't big cake fans loved the cake!

    Ordered a cake for a small wedding ceremony and I was so pleased with it! Violet and Christina were so easy to work with, and the cake turned out exactly how I imagined. We ordered a Strawberries & Cream cake and brought in fresh flowers for decoration. The strawberries very fresh and the frosting was just lightly sweet. I wish the cake itself was a bit lighter, but that's just a personal preference!

    Simply Sweet Cakery made the wedding cake of my dreams. They were very responsive, helpful, and professional throughout the process. I knew exactly the cake I wanted and provided them with photos and they did not disappoint. Not only was the cake visually stunning, but the cake itself was moist and delicious. We tried six different flavors to land on the three that would go on each tier of the cake. The tasting cakes were mini cakes to go, which helped to make it easy and let family members try in the fun too. Overall, we were very happy with their service and final product.

    Samples!
    Erika R.

    I loved my entire experience and my beautiful, delicious wedding cake from Simply Sweet Cakery! From the beginning, our email communications were smooth. First, my now hubby and I chose flavors to sample which I picked up at their bakery which was easy to find. The samples were nicely packaged and labeled with instructions on thawing and storing. They were all so moist and not overly sweet! After tasting, we knew we wanted Simply Sweet Cakery for our wedding! For a fee, your goodies can be delivered and set up at your venue. Cake stands are available to rent as well. We chose a small, 2 tier cake and cake cups. Cake cups are basically just cakes served in cups with a cute sticker (we were able to request our initials on the sticker!) and a little wooden spoon! The cake cups are something new they offer which was perfect because nowadays, not everyone really wants to eat something that's been sitting out in the open! At other weddings, I notice how much cake is sitting on the table which ends up getting thrown away. I received a lot of positive comments on the cake cups because people were able to take them home if they didn't feel like eating theirs and some people took the cake cups left over from the crazy people who don't like cake! You can order as many different flavors as you please. We kept it simple with 2 flavors for cake cups and our 2 tier cake- we both chose 1 that we liked the most which was red velvet and cookies & cream. My husband and I then took our 2 tier cake home to share with our families. The icing on the cake (no pun intended!) - Simply Sweet Cakery gifts married couples a free small cake on your 1 year wedding anniversary if you spend a certain amount! How freakin awesome is that? We did NOT want to do the traditional "keep cake in the freezer for a year" thing because it takes up space and we heard other couples end up throwing it away because it doesn't taste good! My only very very minor gripe is payment is done through mail - either mail a check or write down your credit card info. I mailed a check and appreciated that I received an email when it arrived, but I would have loved to pay via Venmo or another electronic payment. I still highly recommend ordering from Simply Sweet Cakery for all your cake needs!

When we ordered the cinnamon roll, there was no option to heat it up, so we thought they would have done it already. When it was served, it was rock solid. So, we asked them to heat it up. However, after a few minutes, it still wasn't that gooey and the inner core was still pretty tough. Perhaps they could have warmed it up so that it was evenly softened. Overall, the cinnamon roll was alright. It was a brioche roll so you would think it might be lighter and fluffy, but ours was pretty dry. However, the cream on top was insanely good. It carried the roll. The hazelnut twist was kind of what you would expect. A twisted pastry but with a hefty amount of hazelnut-chocolate spread thru the layers. We sat in a little nook, where there was a magnetic black board, where there were word tiles you could rearrange in any way. It was a nice place to just look around at all the sentences the community wrote. Chess tables were also available as extra seating. Overall, the service was good, but could be better when warming up pastries, so that the customer can enjoy them properly!

    I ordered this durian cake for our anniversary, and wow... it's easily the best cake I've ever had…read more If you love real durian, you'll love this cake. The cream is super smooth and filled with actual durian pulp--no artificial flavor at all. The sponge is so light and fluffy that it almost melts in your mouth, and it pairs perfectly with the rich, fruity durian cream. I already love fresh durian and durian ice cream, but this was my first time trying a durian cake, and it completely exceeded my expectations. The 6-inch cake was $68, so it's definitely a treat, but I'd happily buy it again. Just make sure to order a few days ahead. The service was amazing too. Since it was our anniversary, they added a cute "Happy Anniversary" sign to the cake at no extra charge. When we picked it up, they even reminded us to head straight home because the summer heat could affect the cake. You can tell they genuinely care about the quality of their cakes and want customers to enjoy them at their best. Definitely coming back to try more flavors!

    This was our first visit, and unfortunately, it was a bit underwhelming. While the presentation…read morewasn't particularly impressive, that wouldn't have mattered if the food had been great. Sadly, the jasmine tea cheesecake was one of the worst desserts we've had. It tasted so unpleasant that we ended up throwing away what you see in the photo because we simply couldn't take another bite. The checkout experience was also a little unusual. The cashier told us the credit card machine wasn't working, so the only payment options were cash or sending a Zelle payment directly to the owner. There was a small handwritten sticky note with an individual's name and phone number for the Zelle payment, which felt a bit odd. To be fair, there wasn't a large selection available when we visited, so it's possible they have other pastries or desserts that are much better than what we tried. However, based on our experience, the item we purchased was disappointing, and the $12 definitely didn't feel well spent. On the positive side, the décor and overall aesthetic were lovely and were probably the bakery's strongest feature. But as the saying goes, you can't judge a book by its cover... and you can't judge a bakery by its ambience either.

I usually prefer yeast doughnuts over cake doughnuts, but these doughnuts were not dry or heavy at all. I ended up ordering the Butter & Salt doughnut and an Americano with brown sugar sweetener and huckleberry cold foam, while my husband ordered a plain cold brew. We waited outside by the pick-up window after ordering. Service was fast for the doughnut and my coffee, but they seemed to forget about my husband's cold brew, so I had to ask about it after a few minutes of waiting. Not a big deal, just was surprised it took so long when it was such an easy order! We both enjoyed the buttery/salty doughnut, and my coffee was delightful! However, my husband said the cold brew was just okay and it was packed with ice to the point you couldn't stick the straw in the lid. Overall, our first experience at this location was good, and we'll definitely be back to try more of Sidecar's delicious doughnuts! Might pass on the cold brew though!

He also didn't ask what type of dipping sauce I wanted. There weren't any customers either, so it's not like they were busy. The churros were made fresh and tasted great except there were some pieces that tasted gummy/still raw. It's crispy and the sugar isn't too sweet. The hot chocolate was pretty good but very sweet. It is also scorching hot. I burnt my mouth twice trying to drink it. The sauce - I wasn't handed or asked what type of sauce I wanted. I had to ask for the sauce, which I was redirected to the ordering counter where there was a stack. Would have been nice if they had just given it to me or asked what I wanted. There's no labels or signs at all and I blindly chose what I assumed to be the cajeta- caramel but it didn't taste like caramel. At first I thought it was expired due to the sour taste, but after tasting it again a few times, it tasted like apple sauce? I'm not sure what it was but it was interesting with the churros.
