I had a fantastic experience with Ji's Cake Boutique! I reached out to have a custom birthday cake…read moremade for my fiancé's 50th birthday, and the owner was incredibly responsive from the very beginning. She took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for, answered all of my questions quickly, and made the entire design process easy and stress-free. I really appreciated how attentive she was to the details and how willing she was to work with my ideas to create something special for such an important milestone birthday. The customer service was excellent, communication was great, and I felt confident throughout the whole process that the cake was going to turn out exactly how I envisioned it. I would absolutely recommend Ji's Cake Boutique to anyone looking for a beautiful, custom cake and a great experience from start to finish!

Updated Review after receiving the order…read more Even though I didn't place the order until 1.5 months in advanced, she didn't take any deposit and payment were made when she delivered the cake and cupcakes to my house. She was communicative and kept me up to date and sent me photos. She delivered the order with care, and gave me advice on how to keep it fresh until it's ready to be served. With a guest of over 50 people (kids and adults), the cake and cupcake was a hit with everyone. My friends were complimenting on the blueberry cake and asked me who I had made it. A lot of my friends and family loved how detailed the cake was (with the Bumble Num theme) and also asked who made it. Overall, great experience.

One of the best chocolate cakes I've ever had. AND I LOVE CHOCOLATE CAKE…read more The cake was incredibly well balanced. It's very easy to make frosting too sweet, but the sugar levels in everything was just right! The cake had a lovely crumb and was moist on the inside. There was a deep, dark chocolate flavor. Sometimes with chocolate cake, the cake can be too rich and fudgy, but this cake did not have this problem. It was such an addicting cake and I could not stop myself from continuing to eat it. Again, it was well balanced, flavorful, had a good mouthfeel, and not too sweet. PERFECTION! Additionally, the party was a space themed party so we asked for a space-themed cake and the cake was SO CUTE. If I need cake for an event again, I will definitely order from here. And I will definitely be ordering the chocolate cake again!!!

This review has been a long time coming. I have ordered cakes twice from Kymoto Co and each time I…read morehave been so happy with my order. To start the process, I emailed Kylie and let her know what I envisioned for my cakes with some pictures attached and the date I needed the cakes. Please note that you do have to order a month in advance. Kylie let me know that there is a minimum purchase of 2 cakes when ordering lunchbox cakes so I ordered 2. The actual cake is vanilla flavor and you have the option of choosing vanilla, strawberry, matcha, or cookies and cream for the buttercream filling. For my mom's birthday, I chose a light purple cake with a cute floral design and strawberry buttercream flavor ($40). The second cake for her birthday had Van Gogh's starry night with vanilla buttercream flavor ($45). For my birthday this year, I ordered a light pink cake with a floral design and matcha buttercream flavor ($45). My second lunchbox cake was light purple with an angel hello kitty design and cookies and cream buttercream filling ($50). It's really cool that you are able to customize your cakes, although it does get pricier as you add more details. The lunchbox cakes come in a circle shape and are the perfect size. There's enough cake to share with a couple people, but it's also not too much cake if you wanted to just enjoy it yourself. :) Once you are set on the details of your order and your pickup time, Kylie sends you your invoice. After that, all you have to do is show up at your designated time to the address provided. Kylie includes cake care instructions for you as well to ensure that your cake stays in good condition until you are ready to enjoy it. I have appreciated the quality of the cakes and I love supporting small businesses so I will definitely order again in the future. Thank you Kylie for your beautiful designs and attention to detail. Your cakes have brought a smile to my face each time and my loved ones have also enjoyed!

We have been customers of Patricia's for over 3 years, and there is a reason we keep coming back!…read moreFrom the very beginning, she has consistently made cakes that are not only absolutely delicious, but also beautifully crafted. Our wedding cake was everything we could have hoped for. We had 3 layers of different flavors: chocolate cake with fresh raspberry & chocolate mousse filling, lemon raspberry cake with raspberry jelly & cream cheese filling, chocolate cake with fresh strawberries & chocolate mousse filling. The taste of each layer was incredible--moist, flavorful, and perfectly balanced without being overly sweet. Visually, it was stunning: elegant, sophisticated, and beautifully detailed. It fit our wedding aesthetic perfectly and looked like a true centerpiece. What I appreciate most is the consistency, professionalism, and care she puts into every cake. She truly combines artistry with incredible flavor, and our wedding cake was the perfect example of that. If you are looking for a cake that tastes as amazing as it looks, I cannot recommend her enough!

FOR FUTURE SPECIAL EVENTS I WOULD CHOOSE A DIFFERENT BAKERY - if I could give this zero stars I…read morewould. What was most disappointing was the owner Capri's complete lack of accountability and unwillingness to offer any meaningful resolution. She didn't offer to rectify the issue, she simply said thanks for providing feedback. I had to raise the possibility of rectifying it myself. I wasn't even asking for a refund. When she asked what resolution would look like, I attempted to have a constructive conversation. Instead of addressing the actual concern, she focused on labeling my feedback and follow-up calls as "disrespectful" and ultimately told me we should part ways. Mistakes happen. But Poor customer service is a choice. She's blocked me on IG from commenting under my own cake, where I was speaking to another lady who was a loyal customer and would order 2-3 cakes a year for 4-6 years and just recently they didn't deliver to her and shockingly provided no intention of communicating this with her. It sounds like the previous owner was a lot more competent from reading other similar disappointed reviews like mine. The issue was disappointing, but the refusal to meaningfully address it--and the way the complaint was handled--was ultimately the bigger problem. Beautiful cake, but disappointing attention to detail & customer service I want to start by saying that the cake itself was gorgeous and, visually, it was very close to what I envisioned. I also appreciated that they provided free delivery from Tustin to Orange, which was a nice gesture. Unfortunately, there were enough discrepancies between what we discussed and what I actually received that, especially for the price, I left feeling disappointed. I provided two inspiration photos and spoke with the owner multiple times by phone about the specific details of the cake. I was repeatedly told that she only personally gets on the phone for wedding cakes and special-event cakes, so I made a point of going over the details carefully with her when I had her on the phone. Despite those conversations, several details were missed: * The Chanel-inspired font did not match the inspiration photo we discussed. * The edible glitter we specifically discussed was not on the cake. * The inspiration showed white pearls on top, but the cake had gold pearls instead. * The filling was described/discussed as including fresh fruit, but what I received was only raspberry puree. The cake itself was lemon with raspberry puree and cream cheese piping. * The communication through the online portal was also unnecessarily confusing. For something this detailed, I would have preferred straightforward phone communication rather than relying so heavily on portal messages, where details can easily get lost or misunderstood. As well as calling them directly and talking to an AI machine rather than a live person What was most disappointing, however, was the lack of follow-up after I brought these discrepancies to their attention. I called back to provide feedback and was told to ask for the owner. I did exactly that, yet I have received no follow-up since August 26. It's now Sept 4th and I had to call because there has never been a follow up. I understand that custom cakes involve artistic interpretation, and I wasn't expecting a completely identical replica of an inspiration photo. However, when specific details are discussed multiple times directly with the owner, I do expect those details to be reflected in the finished product. The cake was beautiful, but beautiful isn't enough when multiple agreed-upon details are missed and there is no meaningful customer service afterward. For what I paid, I expected significantly better attention to detail and communication. Overall, I'm disappointed with the experience. It's especially disappointing when celebrating a 35th bday while being newly ENGAGED and the white pearls were the biggest missing piece. Without the white pearls it no longer read as Chanel or even bridal for that matter. There was also no offer to rectify the situation or otherwise address the mistake. Instead, after I provided my feedback, I was told that we should part ways. I found that response disappointing, particularly for a milestone celebration and at this price point. I'm not leaving this review because the cake wasn't perfectly identical to a photo. I'm leaving it because of how my concerns were handled after the cake did not meet an important part of the requested design. I would have appreciated an effort to resolve the issue rather than having the conversation end with the decision to part ways. For future special occasions, save yourself the headache, hassle and frustration. I STRONGLY suggest you go anywhere else.

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!
