Working with Nika at Sugar Studio was a dream! As a same-sex couple, it was important to us that our vendors were queer-affirming. It's also important to us to spend our money with small businesses, and the fact that Sugar Studio is a small, woman-owned business meant we were aligning our spending with our values. For our wedding, we opted for a small cutting cake for ourselves and cupcakes for our guests. Between a couple emails and calls, and the info available on her website, we were able to rapidly put together a tasting menu. Everything she offered us was incredible, and we happily landed on a chocolate cake with espresso buttercream in one tier and Earl Grey buttercream in the other. It tasted heavenly!! Working with Nika was just so easy - her expertise and understanding of what we wanted surprisingly made the desserts our most efficient decision of all! Her energy is so positive, and she's extremely creative and artistic. You might not think about this for a dessert vendor, but hiring a vendor that other vendors want to work with is really important! Nika wasn't only good at helping us craft a vision, but also at creatively adjusting to complement the vision of our planner/designer. The stunning sunset color gradient in our wedding colors that she created on our cake was SO beautiful, and the cupcakes had gorgeous colors in the buttercream frosting as well. All of our guests loved the cupcakes and thought they were beautiful and delicious. Nika also added star-shaped sprinkles that we loved each time we admired the desserts, and fit perfectly with our wedding decor! She worked with our planner and stationery designer to add a printed element on the base of the cake that echoed the design throughout the rest of the room, which was really special. From the ease of the process to the delicious cake on the day (and leftovers after!), we highly recommend working with Sugar Studio for your wedding. Even if you don't know exactly what you want, Nika will help you figure it out, and go above and beyond to make it tasty and gorgeous!
I'm still in awe of my wedding cake! It wasn't just beautiful--it was the most delicious cake I've ever tasted. Nika exceeded our expectations to deliver the cake of our dreams. With my severe allergy, finding a baker willing to ensure my safety was tricky, but Nika's attention to detail and willingness to address all my concerns made all the difference. Our wedding guests are still raving about the rich, sweet vanilla cake with fresh strawberry buttercream and the chocolate marble cake layered with chocolate ganache. It was a hit! Despite a scorching 109-degree heat wave on our wedding day, Nika stayed with the cake to ensure the cake stayed fresh and flawlessly decorated. It was a perfect 5-star experience--detailed, professional, and thoughtful. Nika is truly an artist! For anyone seeking a dream cake, Sugar Studio is the ultimate choice. I can't wait to order more from this bakery! Excuse me- while I grab another piece of cake from my freezer! YUM!
Amazing. Unbelievable. Awesome. Delicious. I don't even want to eat. Those are just some of the things that were used to describe the cake Nika made me. I gave her a picture of what I wanted and she made an exact replica! I was STUNNED and so was everyone else. For the interior, I ordered carrot cake with buttercream frosting. Soooo good. My cake was big enough to feed about 20 people and Nika gave me a reasonable price of $300. I shopped around and while Nika was pricier than some, I trusted her more and obviously it was worth it. Honestly, I will be coming to Nika for all my cake needs and have already recommended her to my friends!
Nika...girl...you hooked my birthday cake up. I had to shed a tear. Honestly, I'm grateful. Nika has worked in some pretty dope spots as a pastry chef, Bottega Louie being one of them, so no rookies over here! After her last gig came to an end, she grabbed life by the balls and said fuck it...started doing her own thing and she should be very proud of herself. I took a chance, and Voila!!!!!! The best damn hatbox cake I've ever seen and TASTED! (Oh...I like hatboxes, btw. So classy and stuff.) Nika...I will support you, whatever you do. I will follow you, wherever you go. Everyone loved that Red Velvet cake of mine. ***Two snaps*** You baddddd, girl! You BAD!
Nika Yazdani was hands-down amazing to work with and provided the most incredible, most beautiful and most delicious cake and more for our wedding day. We were introduced to Nika by our wedding coordinator who had worked with her on a few occasions and knew that we'd vibe with her - and we did! Nika is a seasoned professional, but she's low-key and made us feel at ease from the very start. Before our first tasting, my husband and I got on a call with her to talk about our likes and dislikes, and we shared with her some of our design choices and inspirations. She understood what we were looking for and the flavor profiles that interested us, and she got working. We scheduled a virtual cake tasting - and I drove to her place to pick up three beautiful little cakes to do our tasting that night. When the time came, we got on a Zoom call with Nika on the other end and set out to taste the magnificent cakes she'd created for us. Rich, delicious, decadent - all rolled into one (or three!) cakes. In the end, the one we chose was one of her favorites - I mean, how can you go wrong when Nika tells us that it's the cake she makes for herself every birthday! We chose a vanilla cake with fresh raspberries and Earl Grey cream filling. Simply divine! Here's a fun fact: the day after our tasting, we left town for several days, but came back ... and the cake was still delicious! Nika worked with us on the design of the cake, taking inspiration from our invitations and our color scheme to bring the vision of our wedding cake to life. Beyond the cake, we wanted to include some other desserts, and Nika was more than happy to help. Based on her suggestions (and inspo from her Instagram), we had her make a few other dessert bar items for us: salted caramel Rice Krispie squares, homemade marshmallow s'mores on a stick (with gluten free graham cracker crumbs), miniature lemon tarts and blackberry-vanilla swirl meringues for our GF and DF friends! Cut to the wedding day - Nika is a consummate professional and arrived to set up the cake and the dessert bar display. She worked with our florist to place flowers on the cake, making sure that the stems were all wrapped in food-safe tape before using them (so thoughtful!) and setting the cake in place. With a nod to our invitations, which were hand-torn, Nika designed the cake with "torn" fondant and even hand-painted the edges in gold to match our decor. Truly a visual masterpiece, and we haven't even talked about the flavor. Amazing - over the top - delicious! We got rave reviews on the cake from all our guests, even high praise from a professional baker friend who was also a wedding guest! And the rest of the dessert bar? Completely wiped out. That night, the only dessert we got was the singular/symbolic bite of cake we fed each other ... but Nika had also made a "kitchen cake" in case the one on display wasn't enough for all our guests. Well, that cake was never touched - and it ended up back at our house after the wedding. Problem was, we took off for a 2 week honeymoon ... but when we got back, just as with the tasting cakes, the one in our refrigerator remained as moist and as delicious as it was on the night of the wedding! Nika is a pro - start to finish making our wedding cake and dessert delicious and visually stunning. Thank you, Nika - it couldn't have been any better! (All photos by Mandee Johnson)
Nika did my wedding cake and it was absolutely beautiful. Perfection is an understatement! We saved our top tier to eat on our 1 year anniversary and it was still delicious! She's also done weddings and showers for a few of my friends. A few years ago she did an amazing birthday cake for my brother (he's a huge LA King's fan). It was an awesome hockey rink complete with the Kings logo and Stanley Cup trophy! I've also placed a few orders with her during the holidays - both for gifts and for corporate office parties. All in all, I highly recommend her to anyone looking for deliciously beautiful cakes made with quality ingredients and lots of love.
Nika is AMAZING! I put in a last minute order for my fiancé's birthday and she made it happen on time beautifully. Her responses were quick, she gave me all the information I needed and worked very well with my requests. My theme was to bring nostalgic/throwback vibes back so my fiancé could feel like a kid again, and she did exactly that. Her apartment was clean, her working space was organized and it caught me off surprisingly because it's a home bakery but it felt so official. I was very impressed. For the grand finale, the presentation! My cupcakes came out super gorgeous and exactly how I expected to be. Not only did it look good, but it tasted sooo good. She has lots and lots of yummy flavors to choose from that I personally wanted to try, but I went with vanilla with strawberries baked inside with vanilla & strawberries butter cream. This combo was simple but let me tell you... it was BOMBdotCOM! I could not stop appreciating every single piece. It was a taste from heaven I tell you! Every single crumb and piece was so savory and delightful. Nika is the best, I will continue to put in my special orders with her, or even might get one of those cravings and order from her before I come back to LA JUST BECAUSE they're that mouth watering!
Sugar Studio (@sugarstudiola) aka Nika is AWESOME! Not only are her sweet creations delicious, which is obviously crucial, but Nika is also just a wonderful person! She is kind and attentive and never disappoints! I have had the opportunity to taste so many of her delicious treats during the pandemic with her Bake Boxes and I could not recommend Sugar Studio more highly! I cannot wait for larger celebrations so I can order more customized desserts. In the meantime we will continue to order Nika's delicious and beautiful Bake Boxes to get our dessert fixes. You should too!!
I usually hate any sweet stuff, but I did need a cake for my debut. I found Nika through Yelp and I decided to reach out to her because of pricing and her reviews. I looked at some of the cakes that she had done and I though they were very creative. I reached out to her and she told me I could send her a photo of what I would want my cake to look like. So I sent her a photo and I told her all of the flavors and fillings that I wanted. The cake was the perfect size. I knew that any of the leftover would had to come back to me. But I thought it was super pretty and just what I asked for. It was a 3 tier cake with a bow on top that said "Judielle's 18th" as the tag and I thought it was super cute. I do apologize because the guy who ran my event was very rude to her. But, we couldn't meet her on time, so she told us we could drop off the check and she was quite understanding. The cake was absolutely amazing. There were many people who were getting seconds and they loved it. When I took the cake home and started to pick at it, it was delicious! I hate any sweet stuff, but I thought this was delicious and the cake was everything that I pictured! She's super helpful and very accommodating! Thank you so much!
After having my breath taken away when I saw the hat box cake made for Val C., I knew this was the place that would do my specialty mad hatter themed cake. Nika was prompt and helpful during our numerous emails back and forth. She worked with my budget and my vision. She was able to accommodate me in ways I am so grateful for. Everything was flawless and beautiful. The cake was the talk of the baby shower. The only con was the taste of the cake. The red velvet cake texture was a bit soggy and dry, if that's at all possible. I don't think anyone minded but me. The decor was just that exquisite, that it didn't matter.
I was tasked with procuring custom cupcakes for my best friend's baby shower. After a lot of research, I reached out to Chef Nika at Sugar Studio. I love that she asked very specific questions to make sure that expectations were clear, and that I got the exact product I had in mind. She gave great suggestions during our email conversations as well. I really appreciate that Chef Nika always remained pleasant and calm, especially when I was super stressed out about getting the cupcakes just right and driving them from Sherman Oaks to Irvine without them falling apart. The cupcakes ended up being the star of the party. Aside from being SUPER cute, they were delicious! I noticed several people taking photos of them with their phones, and many guests asked if I had extras they could take home after the party. I am definitely using Sugar Studio again!!! (Below is what I ordered.) 4 Dozen Lemon Cupcakes with: o Lemon Buttercream Frosting o Sugar Pearl "Bubbles" o Edible Fondant Duckies (Hand molded!!!) o Note: One cupcake had blue fondant filling for the baby gender reveal!

Nika made the cutest and tastiest cupcakes for our colleagues baby shower, and we can't thank her enough! When it comes to her design ability, she deserves a 10 out of 10! Nika replicated the photo we sent of woodland creatures with finesse and to a "t." Her flavors are on point as well, definitely 10 out of 10! The vanilla cupcakes baked with fresh strawberries and topped with a light and airy vanilla buttercream were to die for! Lastly, it was an absolute pleasure working and corresponding with Nika! She was extremely responsive, provided her expert suggestions and was very flexible. We highly recommend Nika and look forward to being able to work with her again! read more

I went on yelp looking for a cake place in my area. I read the reviews on Nika and I am happy to say that she met all my expectations and more. I contacted NIka about a last minute cake for my son's teacher who is retiring. Not only was she great to work with, but she was able to make my deadline and the cake she made was fantastic! I sent a picture of a cake I had seen online, she did it identical. When I was walking into the school with the cake, everyone kept stopping me to ask where I got it from. It was the most awesomest cake in that not only was it so amazing looking, it tasted so yummy too! I would never use anyone else for my cake needs. I highly recommend her :) read more

Nika is THE BEST. She made our wedding cake a year and a half ago and it was the best cake my husband and I ever had. So good that 2 weeks ago when we found out what gender our baby was she was the first person I called to make our gender reveal cake in the exact flavors of our wedding cake! And it tasted exactly how we remembered which was so special. Not to mention how beautiful both cakes were on the outside. Nika made sure they came out exactly as we envisioned. She will be my first choice for all of our special occasions and I can't thank her enough for how accommodating and sweet she is. Get the earl gray icing, it will change your life!! read more

We are so unbelievably happy with the wedding cake that Nika made for us!!! We looove cake and we really wanted to find a baker who had a great artistic eye but also made actually tasty cake that our guests would enjoy, and she completely blew us out of the water. We went with a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and a lemon cake with earl gray frosting and they were both genuinely moist and DELICIOUS - the lemon/earl gray combo was especially beyond amazing, and this is coming from someone who does not usually like fruit-flavored cakes. For the tasting, she gives you these beautiful full sections of cake so that you can really taste what it will be like on the day as opposed to guessing from a cupcake or a tiny bite. On the design side, we came to her with the vaguest possible idea of a fandom mashup cake, which amounted to: we like these seventeen things, can you put them on a cake cohesively? But she was so sweet and so willing to work with us to figure out the design, both pitching ideas for how to make it work and being super open to trying ideas we had as well. The end design completely blew us away. It is gorgeous from a distance and like a nerdy easter egg hunt up close. Our guests were talking to us about it all night - both before and after they tasted it. If you are looking for that perfect intersection of cake design and taste - go with Nika!!! read more

I am very happy I found Nikka on Yelp! She made our wedding cupcakes and they were beautiful!! everybody loved the design and they were also delicious! I was a little difficult to get in touch with her at the beginning because she was out of town when I first contacted her but then we started communicating through email without a problem and she was very diligent to return my emails. My wedding was on October 22nd and I am thinking in using her services again for the holidays. I very much recommend her, she is very talented and a very nice person, I really like her and will keep ordering from her in the future! read more

Needed to find a bakery/custom cake place to make a baby shower cake for my sister, so I turned to my fellow Yelpers and they didn't disappoint! Pastry Chef/Owner Nika Y. was amazing! I contacted her via email about two weeks before the baby shower and I could tell by her quick responses and attention to details that she was the one. We sent a few more emails back and forth, brainstorming ideas that I thought I wanted. Then about a week before the event, I completely changed my direction and theme. Nika handled everything like a true professional - She was able to offer helpful suggestions/recommendations to help us get the perfect cake for my sister on her special day. So thank you, Nika! If anyone is looking for a bakery/custom cake designer, I won't hesitate to recommend you and Sugar Studio for the amazing work you do. read more
I found Nika and Sugar Studio while looking for a bakery to make my graduation cake. I had found an image online of a cake that I really liked and sent Nika an email asking for a quota and if she could do something similar. She ended up giving me a few suggestions in different price classes and was incredibly helpful. We emailed a lot back and forward because I had a lot of questions and Nika was always fast to respond and help me out. Nika gave me many different flavor options to pick from, but I ended up ordering a two tier cake with two different flavors. One tier was a chocolate cake filled with cookies and cream buttercream and one tier was a vanilla cake filled with strawberry buttercream. Both cakes had white chocolate buttercream on the outside. Yum! I picked up the cake the day before my graduation and was so excited when I saw the cake. It was so pretty! During my graduation party, everyone complimented the cake and thought it was amazing. The sponge was perfectly moist and the buttercream was great and not too sweet. I would strongly recommend Nika to anyone who needs to order a cake. If I ever need to order another one, I'll definitely come here again! read more

Nika was so helpful with the design of our 20th anniversary cake. Her attention and guidance was so appreciated. The cake turned out beautifully, it worked super well with our theme and was dee-lish!! We got the fresh fruit option in the cake batter and in the filling. (it gets a little crumbly, but a small price to pay for having *real* fresh fruit... totally worth it) In fact, I'm gonna go have a left over piece now! Thank you Nika!! read more
