Sam made our wedding cake and it was BEAUTIFUL and DELICIOUS! Which would already earn her a 5 star review. But on top of that, she was a dream to work with. Very responsive, helpful and accommodating. Picking vendors during COVID-19 can be very challenging. We were unable to do a tasting in-person, so Sam got creative with a cake tasting to-go box for us to pick-up and taste on our own. She packaged it up really cute and helped us not feel like we were missing out on a step of fun wedding planning. As a Bride, when you're balancing a million vendors to have someone who is kind and super on top of it to alleviate some stress, it's huge! She dropped off the cake on time and even worked with our florist to bring all the elements all together for us so I could mentally check it off my list. I can't thank her enough. It was so beautiful! I would highly recommend her to anyone! read more

We couldn't ask for more in regards to our cake. Samantha was quick to respond and very helpful with all of our questions. Since Covid caused a lot of uncertainty for weddings, we decided to ditch the big wedding and do a small, intimate elopement in beautiful Joshua Tree. We ordered a little, 2-tier naked cake that matched our desert-boho theme. We did vanilla on the bottom and almond on the top, and both flavors were really good, the best vanilla anything I've ever had! The presentation is 5 stars, taste is 5 stars, and hospitality/service is 5 stars. If you're doing a wedding/elopement in the Joshua Tree area, get your cake by Samantha! I think if you don't, your marriage might be doomed from the start. read more

We cannot recommend Sam's cakes enough! Samantha called us ahead of time and delivered promptly on time which was great since we weren't from the area. I found SAM Co off of Yelp and was nervous because we wouldn't be able to taste the cakes ahead of time but everything was perfect. She made three cakes for us - 2 birthday and one wedding cake and each was executed to perfection. I was shocked that she made a cake IDENTICAL to the Pinterest pics I sent. Furthermore, the taste of each cake was out of this world. I am from the South (Georgia) and my grandmother makes all of her cakes from scratch and did wedding cakes for 30+ years so it is very rare for me to complement someone else's cakes, but Samantha's cakes were undeniable. She also went the extra mile by providing extra supplies such as support tools for the cake and candles. We especially loved the lemon. If you are thinking about Sugar and Magic Cake Company, BOOK THEM NOW! read more

Sam from Sugar and Magic was the fairy godmother for my birthday in Joshua Tree last weekend. I asked her to make "cactus cupcakes" - she took that ridiculous request and created the most beautiful desserts I've ever seen! We almost had a hard time eating them they were so pretty, but once we finished taking a million photos of them as finally bit in we realized they were delicious, too. The packaging was thoughtful and sturdy enough for even a klutz like me, and she even included adorable "30" candles for me to blow out. Thanks, Sam, for taking such great care of us even though we had a tiny order! Looking forward to using you again next Joshua Tree wedding or weekend away. read more

Sam did our wedding cake. My husband and I had a tiny wedding out in Joshua Tree and she created a cake that fit our boho desert theme. The presentation was beautiful but the taste?!? OMG BY FAR THE BEST WEDDING CAKE IVE EVER HAD! Our flavors were Dutch chocolate with vanilla bean frosting and marshmallow fondant. It was heavenly! I'm normally not a fan overly sweet fillings, frostings or fondant but hers is the perfect amount of sweet! It's dreamy to eat, our guests loved it and I'm just so happy we had some left over because were still enjoying our little wedding cake! I will update my review with front facing photos of our cake when we get them back from our photographer but for now here are two our guests took! Thank you Sam!!! read more

Sam is an incredible artist and baker! We ordered a two-tiered wedding cake with Vanilla Bean Frosting and Lemon sponge featuring sugar gum-paste succulent decorations which looked 100% real. We also ordered 25 vanilla/vanilla cupcakes which were incredible and had succulent-designed piping on top. They were a hit at our wedding and guests started eating them before we could even cut the cake! Haha!! We would give Sam at Sugar and Magic 10 stars if we could and highly recommend her services. read more

You will not regret engaging Sam for one of her amazing creations!! We just did a rock n roll smash cake with her for my son's 1st birthday and it exceeded our expectations, tenfold!! She went off a few Pinterest inspiration photos and photos of him-- and captured the exact vibe we wanted with so little direction! Sam is truly an artist! Additionally, a week later I received a thank you card from her! Small personal gestures like handwritten notes seem so rare these days so it was a refreshing reminder of how much small business owners appreciate their clients. read more

Sugar And Magic Cake Company - ROCK N ROLL SMASH CAKE!! Loved every second of this cake! - Custom Cakes Near Me

Adding to my previous review now that our wedding has passed - Sam blew us away with the cake she delivered for our Yucca Valley wedding. Her sculpted flowers were so perfect that on first glance I thought she had scrapped our plan for gum paste and decided to use real flowers instead! The guests were all raving about the flavors (we chose lemon with lemon buttercream for out main cake and almond with almond for our sheet cake) and design, and I'm pretty sure I saw some folks going in for not only seconds but thirds! Sam was also kind enough to lend us one of her cake stands last minute when the one I ordered wasn't sufficient to hold the cake. She is an angel, an artist, and an absolutely brilliant baker! read more

We were going to the "dessert" to celebrate my daughter's 6th birthday and my wife volunteered to purchase her cake. She reviewed three different companies before choosing Sugar & Magic. First of all, the name of her company embodies the spirit of my daughter...how could we not choose it. Additionally, after reviewing various companies, my wife was most impressed by Samantha's craftsmanship; she was drawn to her artisanal flair. Lastly, Sugar and Magic proved to be very affordable given that my wife ordered 2 dozen cupcakes and a mermaid cake that needed to be delivered in Palm Desert. Overall, everyone was completely satisfied with both Samantha's cake & cupcakes. Myla was extremely happy with her mermaid cake, the guests loved the Dutch Chocolate Cake and Vanilla Cupcakes, and we were extremely satisfied with Sugar & Magic. So, when you are in need of a cake artist whilst in the desert, do yourself the favor of choosing Sugar & Magic and let Samantha provided the sugar you crave by working her magic for you and your family. read more

Samantha is a magician with the way she makes these cakes! Her wine box & bottle cakes for my wife, Marcella's birthday party were amazing!!

Thank you, Sam!! read more

I'm from out of town and wanted to find the perfect cake for my niece's 1st birthday. I found Sam's company through yelp and reached out to her, sending pictures of cakes and the theme of the party. She reached out and called me and gave additional ideas which were amazing. The end product was a beautiful and unique cake that was a big hit. As beautiful as it was, it tasted even better. The bow and plaque were made by sam and she also included a cute doll and candle. I will definitely be ordering from her again. Thank you so much Sam read more

Sam helped create an amazingly delicious wedding cake for our wedding on October 11,2019. We had a lemon cake with vanilla frosting and chocolate cupcakes on the side. They were all very flavorful, literally the best cake I have ever had and I'm not a "sweets" or a chocolate person. We will definitely book her for future events!! Thank you so much Sam for creating such a wonderful cake for our special day!! read more

I contacted Samantha at sugar and magic about making a custom cake for a friends birthday, and asked her to make a desert goth unicorn cake fit for my best friend. I gave her creative freedom other than the general idea and she BEYOND delivered. The cake was not only gorgeous and so freaking cool, it was also delicious. Last but not least she delivered the cake with the cutest candles to our Airbnb in Joshua tree. I wish I lived closer so that I could order from here regularly!!!! If I could create an extra star to give this place I would! read more

We were completely starstruck by the masterpiece Sam created for my fiancé's 30th birthday! Every little detail of the cake was down to perfection. She went so above and beyond that we could hardly bare to deface it by cutting a slice. The cake itself was perfectly baked and so delicious, it was addictive. And what a gem Samantha is - kind, communicative, and incredibly talented! Thank you so much for making my fiancé's birthday such a hit. He says being surprised by his cake was the highlight of his birthday. :) read more

I searched up nearby cake bakeries here in Palm Springs, but ran into this bakery. When I tell you I did NOT expect this amazing(not that they aren't capable) 9x13 sheet cake to be this detailed. The theme was Grave Digger monster truck and everything I envisioned, Sam brought it to life. I called her 4 days prior to the party, and still with such short notice, Sam did her thing. Thank you Samantha! You made his 5th birthday 10x cooler. Definitely my go to from here on out. read more

I decided to try and have a cake made last minute for my girlfriends birthday celebration in 29 Palms. Our family and friends flew from all over to spend a weekend in the Dessert sun. I emailed Sam 5 days before I needed the cake. She responded immediately and said the cake would be no issue. She designed a 3D Tardis from Dr. Who and it was perfect. The cake was not only absolutely fabulous looking, it tasted incredible. Sam I cannot thank you enough for the wonderful cake. It made a special moment even more special. I'd highly recommend Sam to anyone needing a cake in this area! I'll definitely be back for more! read more

I am so impressed by the cake Samantha cooked up for us! She created a cake that looked exactly like a pizza (one of our birthday girl's favorite foods) and even found a pizza box AND delivered it to us at our Airbnb. The cake was not only fun and creative, it tasted amazing. We got the almond/vanilla cake. I have no doubt she will make your cake extra special. Thanks for the love this weekend! read more

I cannot begin to explain how amazing the cake I bought from Sugar and Magic was. Not only was the cake beautiful but the chocolate layer and vanilla almond layer was mouthwatering good.

I cannot recommend Sugar and Magic Cake Company enough. I reached out to Sam a week before we were coming to Joshua Tree for my husband's birthday. We discussed different design options and although I ended up opting for a simpler design, she called me half-way through baking it to ask if she could embellish the design further because she really wanted the cake to look its best, free of charge. It was so sweet of her and showed how much she cares about her product. She was so accommodating about my timing for picking up the cake, which was particularly tricky since we wanted to keep the cake a surprise. Thank you, Sam! read more

If there were a million stars, that is what I would give Sam! I am awed by her creativity and compassion. The detail in her work is beyond! Also, she was so lovely and comforting to work with. I was ordering a cake for my son's 30th birthday and I'm back east -- so I felt a bit lost being so far away. Sam listened to everything I shared, felt comfortable to share her own experienced thoughts, and provided me with the security I needed being far away that the cake and service would be impeccable - and it was! I'm waiting for a clear picture of the cake to add to this post, which I'll do once my son wakes up this morning :) In the meantime, if you are in search of the most incredible cake created by someone with tremendous talent and is a wonderful human to boot -- wanted to be sure you read this review! read more

Sam was the sweetest and the cake she made for our wedding in Joshua Tree was absolutely perfect and unique! Sam invited us to her home for a cake tasting, which was not only delicious, but personalized and designed to make our wedding cake exactly what we wanted.

I want to start by saying thank you so much sugar and magic !! You guys are phenomenal!!! so I had placed a order with a cake company down in Palm Springs originally. 6 days before my wife's birthday they decided to call and tell me that my order couldn't be fulfilled due to a wedding cake error which now needed the shops full attention. After freaking out I found SUGAR AND MAGIC and couldn't have been happier . I called and was able to squeeze into their busy schedule and they absolutely knocked it out the park . Everything from the flavor of the cake to the display was PERFECT . I literally can't express how great this cake came out . I will never order from anyone else ever . There was zero cons With this company , they offer different ways to pay, they're prompt and punctual ,everything was explained to me in detail and the whole process in general is seamless and wonderful . If you need a custom cake LOOK NO FURTHER ! read more
