"Simply Sweet Cakes" made a wonderful custom cake topper for our special occasion. When my "partner in crime" submitted the design, "Simply Sweet Cakes" was responsive, friendly, fast, & the quality of their artwork was excellent. The smiling donkey cake topper was whimsical, adorable, funny, & the attention to detail was amazing! While other bakeries were not as accommodating, "Simply Sweet Cakes" demonstrated the utmost in customer care, & the word "No" was simply not in their vocabulary. Thanks so much for helping to make our special occasion extra special! Looking for a custom cake topper? Check out "Simply Sweet Cakes." Hopefully their closure (as listed on Yelp) will only be temporary...looking forward to their re-opening! read more

I never knew about this place until I saw it on Too Good To Go and decided to try one. Clean location. I got my box and took it to go. I did see they have huge cookies but I didn't want to get more if I'm not sure how they taste. I got a lemon bar which was tart but the crust was way to thick for my liking. The strawberry tart was also very refreshing and the crust was a little less thick so I liked that better but I prefer my bars to have more of the filing. I prefer 75/25 crust and theirs is more like 60/40. But love the lemon taste. The red velvet cupcake was tasty and not too sweet. The chocolate chunk cookie was big and I thought they were just ok. I'd probably go elsewhere to get my chocolate chip cookie. Overall, glad I got to try this place. SYOY read more

I've ordered cakes from this shop for about 5 years now. For all previous orders the cakes were absolutely beautiful. This year though the cake was awful. I included directions and pictures in my order. What I got vaguely resembles the inspiration pic. The cake looks so sloppy, I absolutely hate it. No one that works at the shop was there. The person that walked me over to get my cake out of the fridge in the back was a worker that was doing renovation work for the store. read more

As soon as I walked in, the staff was super sweet and helped me right away. I wanted a custom Kpop Demon Hunters cake for my daughter's 5th birthday. She had been requesting it for weeks, so I knew I had to deliver an amazing cake design that was also delicious. The lady who helped me gave us a sample tasting of a few popular cakes/frostings. My daughter's favorite pairing was their chocolate cake with chocolate mousse. Every cake we tried was moist and tasty. I docked a star off because they forgot to add "Happy Birthday". Other than that, I was happy with how it turned out and more importantly, my daughter was so excited when she saw it and loved it. Guests at her birthday party complimented on how good the cake was and asked where I got it from. Simple Sweet Cakes is our go-to for cakes from now on. read more

Simply Sweet Cakes makes magic happen. I recently ordered 60 custom sugar cookies from this local bakeshop. Not only were these cookies affordable, but they were also beautifully designed and packaged individually. Balancing tasks prior to an event can be tough. There's so much to do and so little time. It was incredibly helpful that the Simply Sweet dropped the cookies off at the venue about 2-hours prior to the event. This local business is just.. simply sweet. Highly recommend for all your cookie event needs! read more

My sister brought a chocolate cake from this place to me and I was SHOCKED ON HOW GOOD THIS WAS! It was delicious but not too sweet it was just perfect! Good thing I work nearby and will be able to buy more for myself!! The owner was very sweet and the place looked so cute! read more

Wow, their carrot cake is so delicious and the cream cheese frosting is not too sweet like other places. Amazing friendly service. Mariah was so helpful and offered wonderful suggestions. The bakery items looked incredible. From cupcakes, cake pops, huge cookies, pastries, custom cakes and ready made cakes. The shop is very cute with seating to plan your wedding or custom order. I will definitely return! It is on Tustin Ave & Santa Clara. read more

Simply Sweet Cakes - Sanrio Themed cake - Cupcakes Near Me - Santa Ana, California

I have been a customer here for over 4 years, and this experience was completely unacceptable. I ordered a cake for my best friend's birthday and specifically paid extra for a particular filling. The cake was made incorrectly anyway and did not include the filling I selected and paid extra for. On top of that, they misspelled her name--even though I had already double-checked the spelling through email correspondence to make absolutely sure there would be no mistake. When I addressed both issues, there was no accountability or real attempt to fix their error. No refund, no proper resolution--just an unrelated free Mother's Day treat offered as if that made up for a clearly wrong order. It didn't. After years of loyalty as a customer, this level of carelessness and dismissive customer service is unacceptable. I will not be returning and would strongly advise others to think twice before ordering from here. read more

Ah, that distinct "store-bought" aroma! Sorbic acid, potassium sorbate, calcium propionate, artificial flavors, emulsifiers, and humectants and glycerin, these are just some of the ingredients that you will distinctly smell from their cakes. You know the scent that you smell at the supermarket as you go down the cake or bread isle. In fact, the cake reeked with the smell of food chemicals that I thought it may all catch on fire as I lit the candles. We had ordered a Minecraft-themed cake for a birthday celebration, and unfortunately, it didn't quite live up to expectations. The most surprising part was the presentation: the Minecraft characters were low-resolution printouts, attached to lollipop sticks, and placed on the cake. One of the figures--Enderman (top right)--wasn't even cut out cleanly, with visible white space above his head, which gave the cake a rather unfinished look, sloppy work really! When we expressed our shock about how tacky it looked the staff member responded defensively and explained that the characters in the picture of a similar cake on their Yelp page were actually toys not edible decorations. It would have been helpful to know this in advance or at least be given the option to bring our own figurines. For a cake priced at over $275+, we had expected more craftsmanship--perhaps handcrafted edible characters or a more polished design. The cake itself consisted of two square tiers, one with red coloring and a fondant belt, along with some white squares, black wires, and tiles with a paper sword on top. Unfortunately, it lacked the artistic detail and creativity we were hoping for. We also didn't feel that the team was particularly open to feedback. You can see their responses to reviews providing critique on yelp, they seem to reflect a similar tone, borderline service unoriented. This experience has been a learning opportunity, and next time, I will make sure to do more thorough research before placing an order with another bakery. read more

All I have to say is this place is amazing! They are super professional and talented! I had asked for an Unbirthday cake from Alice in wonderland for my daughter's Onederland birthday and OMG! It was beautiful and delicious!!! I'll have to try more cakes from here. It was such an easy process to order. I emailed what I would like and they quoted me a price and I paid half for the deposit and paid the other half at pick up and I was soooo happy! It turned out sooooo perfect! Thank you!!! read more

I ordered a custom birthday cake for my son's gardening-themed birthday and it turned out beautifully!! Everyone at the party was so impressed and the cake tasted great (vanilla + strawberry cream). From the start, communicating with Nicci via email was super fast and easy. I provided her the inspiration photos from Pinterest and we chatted through options. The craft and attention to detail of the cake itself is gorgeous - I love that they made the watering can out of butter cream and included chocolate "dirt" inside. It looked exactly like the Pinterest photo, perhaps even better. Will definitely order from them again. read more

I truly wish I didn't have to write this review, but I'm still shocked and disappointed by how I was treated by this bakery's owner. A week before my scheduled cupcake pickup for my sister's baby shower, my sister was hospitalized suddenly with severe preeclampsia and renal failure. It was a terrifying, traumatic experience for our entire family, and of course, everything else in life was put on hold while we focused on her health. I emailed the bakery, not to cancel the order, but simply to ask if I could move the pickup date till we knew more. That's it. Just shift the date. The cupcakes hadn't even been made yet. To my disbelief, the owner refused. She said the best she could do was offer 50% off a future order. In other words: no flexibility, no compassion, no consideration for the fact that we were dealing with a medical emergency. Again, I wasn't asking for a refund, just to move the date. What kind of small business refuses to show basic humanity in a situation like this? It wasn't a last-minute same-day change. It was a full week out, and I was simply trying to reschedule. The lack of empathy and rigid policy over people is incredibly disappointing. Support local, they say, but it has to go both ways. read more

The cake was nice on the outside, but I will not be coming back here because of the price. $171 for a 6 inch cake that serves 8 people is literally insane. The lady was trying to talk to me like it was a luxury experience, acting like the cake was made in Italy with gold frosting, ITS FUCKING CAKE!!!! I also didn't like the handwriting on my cake and it tasted like box mix, I asked for strawberry flavor with vanilla filling, and to be honest I could've made this at home for way cheaper. Wouldn't recommend. Y'all need to wake up and realize that these small businesses are scamming you! read more

Now, I'm giving 2 stars, because the presentation was cute. I DID order from UberEats so that could have been my mistake. It seemed as though they were "famous" for their cakes and cookies, rather than cupcakes, but what really is the difference? They honestly tasted store bought and I was NOT the only person who thought this, my boyfriend thought the same thing and had given 3 more (I bought 6) a chance. He told me not to have more as they seemed to have what he described as a "chemically" taste. I'm not sure what that means, but I did not want to find out so having to throw the rest away really sucked. Am sad to say I'm super disappointed and won't be ordering again, I really wanted to give this place a chance. read more

Delicious cakes!! We are choosing them for our upcoming wedding, I can't wait! Thanks for providing multiple samples of cakes and desserts.

Very excited about the purple heart cake! Capri was great very accommodating easy to work with. Thank you sweet cakes!

I am simply amazed by how awesome they did my son's 10th birthday cake. I ordered half a sheet vanilla Nintendo switch cake. It came out so good and all the kids loved it! I definitely recommend this place and will always come back!! read more

Dont ever come here save your money the owner does not know what she is doing her employees cant communicate information properly with one another. And worst of all when it came time to pick up the cake. The order was never fulfilled or even started. They tried making up for it offering a full refund at first and delivered a cake that looked nothing like what i asked for and now its been 2 weeks and they are proceeding to not issue the refund and making false accusations please dont give this business your money. read more

I was asked 5 days prior to a baby shower, to provide 2 dozen sugar cookies. I was referred to this bakery by a friend and they came thru for me. Mariah took my call, sent me pictures to choose my design from and provided me with beautifully decorated and delicious vanilla sugar cookies. All the guests raved about them. Thank you so much Simply Sweet Cakes. read more

What a disappointment this was - after going into details, sending pictures and having received assurance that our design and color scheme was not an issue - we received a VERY EXPENSIVE $500 + BAD CAKE. This was a gender reveal cake with a hot air balloon theme - the colors were light neutrals - all pictures were sent and design/colors were agreed upon -we not only received a cake that was the wrong color - with a design that was off - but it had the name that was in the inspo picture!! When it arrived the grandmother to be had to argue with the delivery person that the name was wrong! The delivery person insisted that name was on the order form -which we never filled out -and frantically searched in all texts for proof- of course there was none - so they took the cake back and frantically reworked it to the name we wanted- and delivered it back after the party started! I sent a text to Nicci expressing my dissatisfaction- she asked to call me-on the phone she was again argumentative - and finally offered a $250 credit saying they don't offer refunds - why would I want to buy from this company again after all this? BTW "no refunds" is NOT mentioned on her website or any confirmations or receipts - and yes I have pics of all that as as well -which I have supplied to my CC company - A REAL DISAPPOINTMENT INDEED read more

I can't say enough good things about the custom birthday cake Nicci made for us at Simply Sweet Cakes. From our first meeting, everything was smooth and easy, and the end result was stunning.

Not happy with what I received when I ordered cupcakes for 12 at $65. I could have gone to Walmart that offers flower cupcakes at $25. Unfortunately, my mistake was thinking they'd do a little more than they did. Initial communication was great, cupcakes themselves were disappointing and not provided in the way they said they'd be. At least I know not to order from here anymore. read more

Amazing service when coming in and quick to help get the right cake for me. Definitely recommend to friends and family moving forward.

Placed an order for a "50th"birthday and owner forgot order all together! Placed an order for a "30th"birthday giving PICTURE for details and when I took it home and took it out of the box realized an important piece of the decoration was missing, I had to go to stores to buy it and add to cake last minute. I also made an extra trip a week before to personally change cake flavor, they did not make the change and the cake tasted awful. When I complained, not only did owner not apologize but lied about the cake change flavor, and that is actually the worst part. We're done doing business with this shop. Can't trust them anymore and pay the big price for continued disappointments. Now you say it's a lie... You will have in your conscience every day that the liar is you! Unless you have a memory problem which is most likely what it is because you were dumbfounded and in a fog for about 20 minutes when you didn't place the order for the 50th birthday but certainly charged it to the card and had to issue a full refund then gave us the smallest cake sitting on your shelf along with a cupcake. And yes, we made a huge mistake giving you a second chance and you blew it again! If you can't remember any of this, you have a serious problem running a business. read more

I was looking on Yelp to find a place to make my sisters birthday cake with a week notice. I'm so glad that I found Simply Sweet Cakes in Tustin which is not too far from us. Cecilia is very quick to respond with her Yelp messages and emails. She informed me that buttercream cakes need one week notice, and fondant needs 2 weeks notice. When I contacted her, it was five days before the event, she agreed to make the cake for me but with the afternoon pick up time which worked for me. I sent her a picture of a cake that I found. Her design was very closed to it. One of my family said he likes Cecilia's design more than the original on the dripping design. I was very happy the cake turned out pretty and fitted into our birthday theme. I ordered the vanilla cake with mango mousse. I wasn't able to try the cake, but I heard they can't taste much mango. I also ordered some macaroons to decorate the table that I also didn't get to try :p Cecilia is very nice and professional. Her price is reasonable. I will go back to her for my future design cakes needs, and I highly recommend you to try her bakery! read more
