    Circus/Carnival Cake
    Marisela S.

    Mahtab! Thank you again for all your hard work for my son's birthday party! It is so nice to see locals thrive in their businesses' and with talents such as yourself. You were so helpful with your emails and conversations about my vision and what I wanted, and also my budget and it was just a joy to work with you. The cake received lots of rave reviews from my guests and it tasted delicious. Also the smash cake was a nice surprise and my baby loved it! Thank you again and I hope we get to work again together in the future. There aren't very many vendors that are so creative and affordable like you and I am very grateful that you had space in your schedule for us and our special day!

    The cupcakes Mahtab created for my daughter's birthday

    After seeing Mahtab amazing work I notice she also did amazing custom cookies. Now I had ordered custom cookies before and the presentation were nicely done, but taste wise there was nothing impressive about it. So I was talking to Mahtab and I explain to her my concerns and previous experience. She took her time she explain to me how she makes her cookies and what ingredients she uses. She was kind enough to let me sample the cookie to make sure I didn't have any doubts. So of course Mahtab being the amazing baker that she is proved me wrong her recepie wasn't lacking taste, it wasn't tough to eat. Her work isn't just about presenting you this amazing piece, but also giving you something that you and your guest will enjoy. Of course I had to put in my order. Mahtab created these amazing cookies for my Son's birthday party cookie monster theme. I told her what kind of design I wanted. At first I had put in my order for vanilla but I wanted to taste her other recepies (she makes vanilla, chocolate and lemon). I really wanted to taste her lemon cookies but being a kids party I opt for the chocolate cookie. I did notify her right away of my change I believe two weeks prior. She made it so easy to put in my order and change my order. The day of the party being so busy I was setting the dessert table I kid you not as I was done setting up I received a lot of compliments on the cookies. I was even anxious to try the chocolate ones. I walked away for about 10 minutes and they were all gone. Thank God my daughter grabbed one of the chocolate cookies so I was able to taste it. Just like the vanilla the chocolate was perfectly made it wasn't overly sweet but also not lacking in flavour. I can't wait until the next event to see what Mahtab creates. Thanks again Mahtab

    Birthday cake

    Absolutely loved my sons 3rd birthday cake! We got a 3 tier cake (the bottom was fake) with vanilla cake and strawberry cream cheese filling. The cake not only looked amazing but tasted great as well! It was the talk of the party! And the baker was so fun to work with she put her own spin on the cake and she delivers! It gets no better then that! Her work speaks for itself but don't look anywhere else ! Get your cake from Sweet Beginnings Bake Shop!

    Amazing! And SOOO RECOMMENDED. Given the fact that I was organizing a baby shower from out of town, I had the best experience! Mahtab, the owner, took her time to help me through getting exactly what I needed from numerous emails of designs to many phone calls. If I was her, I would probably had given up on a customer like me. But she gave the best customer service. Not knowing exactly what I wanted and was just excited to get things ordered to check off my to do list, Mahtab was so patient and ensured that I got the design that I wanted at a SUPER cheap price. And yes! Did I mentioned she delivered the cake and cookies free of charge? Loved it! Not only did she just dropped off the order, she ensured that the cake and cookies were placed in the right location (and of course we weren't baby shower ready, but she was so patient to give recommendation to store the cookies and cake). I would most definitely use her in future events as well as refer her to other family members and friends.

    Woodland critters cookies!

    My wife is from Fresno so when she said she wanted to celebrate our son's birthday in Fresno I had no idea what we were going to do for the pastries. That was my responsibility. She gave me 1 job so I knew I couldn't mess it up. I didn't want some plain bakery doing a sheet cake so I looked on Yelp and found Sweet Beginnings. Mahtab was very responsive and helped me come up with a theme (woodland critters). She was creative, talented, and detail oriented. She made me look like a hero. The pictures look amazing and I think the cookies looked even better in person. Thanks Mahtab for helping me execute my one task as well as my wife would have! Maybe my wife will read this and I'll get brownie points (again!).

    Beautifully constructed birthday cake! He loved it!

    Loved the cookies and cake! We were so happy with the way everything looked! The ordering process was easy and everything was delivered as promised! We highly recommend!

    I really really wanted to love the smash cake I ordered for my nephews first birthday party... I spent days together with my sister in law looking for the perfect one on Pinterest and another couple of days trying to find the perfect place to order it from. After doing my research, seeing some of the work Sweet Beginnings provided and all of the reviews I made my choice. Mahtab was very nice and easy to work with and the cake was reasonably priced. I have no complaints about the service (Reason for 4 stars.) Also, the fish, sand and extra detail on the smash cake are beautiful. It's simply when I look at the picture of the cake I provided versus the cake I actually received when I feel slightly disappointed. I can't honestly say I love the cake, but it did serve it's purpose. Any other cake would have worked just fine though.

    Mahtab exceeded my expectations! I love the design and the cake itself is moist and delicious. She is also very easy to work with as she accomoated my budget and came out with a wonderfully done cake!! Thanks so much mahtab! Highly recommended!

    Martha J.

    I was so happy with my cake order for my sister's birthday. I ordered the cake on short notice (2 weeks) and from North Carolina but Mahtab was incredibly helpful with the whole process. I just emailed her what I wanted and trusted her expertise and she provided a beautiful delicious cake! My family loved it! I would definitely order again from sweet beginnings

    Mahtab did an amazing job for my daughter's birthday party. She let me know right away that I needed to make a deposit to reserve the date and I paid right away to make sure I was set. She was great at getting back to me. The lemon cake and vanilla cupcakes were so moist and flavorful. The sugar cookies were gone within minutes. Her cake and cookies were delicious! I got compliments from all the guests. If you want something tasty and beautiful, this is the bake shop for you!

    The beautiful cake!!!!!!! And the clouds are made of marshmallows!! How neat is that?

    I've been researching different cakes for my daughter's 3rd bday and wanted to find a shop that made really cute but tasteful cake designs. I had a particular look I was going for but didn't quite have it all figured out. Sweet beginnings made the process so easy for me. After speaking with Mahtab on the phone for a consultation she knew exactly what I was looking for. I gave her a few photos of cakes I liked and added some other ideas on top of that. She knocked it out of the park. When I saw the final product I was so shocked: it couldn't have been any better. And when my daughter saw it, her eyes just lit up with so much joy and surprise. Sweet beginnings is the way to go if you want a celebratory cake made!!!

    Perfectly boxed

    Mahtab and her delicious and adorable cookies added to the fun look of our 30th Anniversary garden party in the record-breaking July heat of Fresno. We live near Seattle and found Sweet Beginnings via Yelp. After texting with Mahtab, she met us the week before our party, had us sample some cookies, listened to our ideas of what we needed and created these tasty cookies. They were packaged in a pretty & practical box and were the only things that did not need to be refrigerated in the Fresno summer heat. Thanks Mahtab! We will definitely order from you again!

    Crystal F.

    Mahtab was very responsive to my initial cake inquiry. She kept in communication with me throughout the process and afterwards to ensure everything went well. I give her five stars for the experience, deliciousness of the cake/cookies and creativeness of both! I had rave reviews from my guests who thought the cake was full of flavor and quite moist. I've bought many speciality cakes before and usually don't go back for many reasons but happy to say I'll be a repeat customer with Sweet Beginnings Bake Shop!

They were moist without being overly sweet, which I really appreciated. You can tell they use quality ingredients, and they paired perfectly with a morning coffee. The bakery itself had a welcoming atmosphere, and the staff was friendly during my visit. There was a nice selection of baked goods, so I'd definitely be interested in coming back to try some of their other pastries and desserts. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because I wish there were a few more muffin flavors available when I stopped by. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'd definitely recommend Eddie's Bakery if you're looking for fresh baked goods in Fresno.

    One of the things I appreciate most as a Yelp Elite is when a business doesn't ignore constructive…read morecriticism. It's easy to celebrate a great first visit, but what really stands out is when an owner takes feedback seriously and earns a second chance. That doesn't happen nearly as often as people think. I visited Spirit Made Cakes a while back, and if I'm being honest, I left feeling underwhelmed. The experience just didn't live up to what I had hoped for, so I left an honest review reflecting exactly that. Shortly after, the owner reached out personally. There were no excuses, no defensiveness, just a genuine desire to make things right. I told them I would eventually come back and give them another opportunity because everyone deserves a chance to improve. I'm glad I did. We stopped in on a Wednesday around 5:30 p.m., and the difference was immediately noticeable. The staff was welcoming from the moment we walked in. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and efficient without making us feel rushed. The entire visit felt smoother and more polished than my first experience. The tiramisu was the highlight of the visit. It had the classic flavors I was hoping for, with a nice balance of coffee, mascarpone, and cocoa that didn't lean overly sweet. It tasted authentic, and that's not always easy to find around Clovis. It was the kind of dessert that reminded me why tiramisu has become such a timeless favorite. We also tried the red velvet cake. While it wasn't my personal favorite item, it was still enjoyable. The cake was moist, the frosting was well done, and I can absolutely see why it would be someone else's go-to order. Not every dessert has to be your favorite to recognize that it's made well. I think it's important to update reviews when businesses put in the effort to improve. Too often, people only come back to leave another negative review, but rarely return to acknowledge positive change. Spirit Made Cakes earned that recognition from me. I'm happy to say they've won me back as a customer. It takes humility to listen, commitment to improve, and consistency to change someone's opinion. I genuinely appreciate the effort, and I look forward to coming back to see what else they have to offer.

Interior is nicely designed but I don't like dine in there cause it's all pink and it feels like it's only meant for females seating LOL, i always wanted to enjoy my coffee in there but because of the interior always doing a to go. Some other items like basic berry tarts are too expensive for its size to be honest, if you compare it with Whole Foods tarts which is always fresh again. One disappointment I had with this business was when I picked up cake for the birthday for around $55 but we couldn't eat it at all cause it's tasting all either cheaper end butter or margarine, though the packaging was very fancy. Service wise since never dined in cant say anything, but young girls at front always been helpful and patient.

If my name is attached to it, it MUST be a life changing cake that people will talk about for years to come. Thank you fellow Yelpers for not letting us down. We attended a cake tasting at One Sweet Table. We got the deluxe cake tasting box: 6 flavors, and each flavor had 4 cupcakes. The flavors were: chocolate, vanilla cake with caramel and toffee topping, almond, lemon with raspberry, churro, and marble. The almond. Dear Lord. We all about fainted from pleasure. It was sooooo goood. Next best was the lemon. It was such a great texture and filling. We loved the churro which was a great flavor combo and it wasn't too sweet. The other flavors were good too with good flavor cake and frosting but we kept going back to the almond. The deposit is paid and we'll update later for the wedding design and delivery. We live an hour away and I will use this location for my cake and cupcake needs from now on.

I highly suggest reading all of the information she provides in her IG and email as it will help with any questions you may have up until the day of pick up without sending her many emails/messages. Her pick up instructions are very simple. The day I picked up everything went fast and smoothly. I loved how neatly packaged her cake was and how beautiful it came out. It was more than what I had imagined the design would be when I sent her my ideas. She also gives great tips on how to keep the cake fresh before serving. Her cake was very moist and delicious! Highly recommend and I will definitely be ordering from her again!
