    Christmas sugar cookies
    Kylee C.

    I ordered Christmas cookies for my work Christmas party... and wow! They are adorable and delicious-- delivered right to my front door. I would absolutely recommend Sweet Expressions and will certainly order from them again in the future.

    Custom cupcakes (half are mimosa flavored, half chocolate)

    I had a really great experience with this company. I was madly searching for a custom cupcake/cookie shop in the Sacramento area in March, and because I had a tight timeline, a number of the shops I called couldn't take my order. I was almost going to give up, but then I found Sweet Expressions Desserts. I called and Kiiki immediately picked up. She was driving, and told me she would call me back within the hour. She called back within 25 minutes! The ordering process was very easy and smooth. She gave very clear instructions about the artwork format, and once I sent it over she confirmed the order right away along with the delivery information. On the day of the delivery, she texted me to let me know that my order is on its way to be delivered. She even sent photos, which was a really nice touch. I was blown away -- they looked so good! Then I got another text after it was delivered. I didn't have to worry about whether the cupcakes made it to the recipient. Those cupcakes I ordered were for a client, and our client sent a heartfelt thank you for the cupcakes and mentioned that the whole team loved them. So next time I have any similar needs in the Sacramento area, I'm definitely calling Kiiki again because not only is she dependable, pricing was also reasonable, and her work is top quality.

    GF/VEGAN Strawberry Shortcake Cake Shooter, Caramel Macchiato Cake Shooter

    Kiiki was an absolute pleasure to work with for the planning of my husband's memorial, which was in a different city from where I live. During such a tender and stressful time in my life, Kiiki was patient, empathetic and engaged on the phone with me as I asked questions and placed my order. She was able to provide EXACTLY what I was looking for: cake shooters in various flavors plus a gluten free/vegan option for guest dietary needs. Her pricing was half the cost of the local bakeries I called, and she offered two hours of catering for the event which included white glove service: delivery, set up, and passing the items out to the guests. She even included utensils and napkins, which was another small but meaningful relief. She was prompt, friendly, professional and reliable. She lifted a HUGE weight from my shoulders. Kiiki's desserts are DELICIOUS!!! It was so fun to hear the guests thoroughly enjoying their desserts - so many compliments! I was lucky enough to take the leftovers home and sample the different flavors for a few days after the event - amazing! Kiiki - you are absolutely phenomenal. Thank you so much for making my memorial event everything I had envisioned. This woman, minority and veteran owned business is 10/10 Stellar and an absolute BLESSING to the world!

    Bride & Groom cupcakes -- amazing job sweetly expressing exactly what we wanted!
    Jemaira G.

    We were less than three weeks away and I was stressing about finding the right bakery to make B&G cupcakes instead of cake pops. Ms. Kiiki was so accommodating, and the cupcakes were so moist and good! Thank you, Ms. Kiiki!

    Contacted Sweet Expressions Dessert for help with delivery of a birthday cake for a special friend and they delivered in a big way. I highly recommend this small but amazing bakery for any type of baked goods you may need. True professionalism all the way.

    Noah's Ark cake! Gluten-free vanilla cake with vanilla custard and chocolate frosting. Heavenly!
    Celestina H.

    I can't express how satisfied myself and the whole party enjoyed their gluten-free cake! Not only was the taste incredible, but the sculpture and presentation were perfect! Amazing catering and customer service! Thank you so much for the best experience I've ever had with ordering a custom cake!! I will definitely be ordering for future occasions and recommending this business to all my friends and family. 1000% satisfied!

    I wanted to serve cupcakes at my son's 10th birthday party and didn't want to get grocery store cupcakes. I decided this the week before the party and knew it might be too short notice to place an order. I contacted two bakeries I found on Yelp. One of them said she needed 3 weeks notice for an order (which is understandable). I contacted Sweet Expressions and left a message. Kiiki called me back and accepted my order. That was it.. I didn't need to call anyone else. She is so nice and easy to work with. I ordered 3 dozen cupcakes and a "6-inch" cake. Everything exceeded my expectations. I mentioned that my son is currently into the Willy Wonka movie, and Kiiki made an awesome cake. He was soooo happy and excited when he saw his cake. The cupcakes and cake were delicious! My son said about his cake, "It doesn't just look good, it tastes good too!" Thank you Kiiki for working with me on such short notice and for making a cake that made my son so happy!

    Delicious GF red velvet birthday cake with cream cheese frosting!
    Deana R.

    Gluten Free Red Velvet Cake! I have been searching for a local bakery to make gluten free cakes. I finally gave up; for years I ordered them off Goldbelly and had them shipped in from the east coast--the GF cake struggle is real! Anyway, I stumbled upon Sweet Expressions and am a customer for life! I received a beautiful and delicious GF Red Velvet cake for my birthday. The cake was not dense or crumbly like some GF cakes are; you know what I mean if you're GF. The cake was light, airy, and moist. My boyfriend said, "I've never had a gluten free cake before, but I have no clue what is different. It tastes like good cake." The cake was literally delivered by hand to my front door (at cheaper price than Goldbelly) and the owner is extremely professional and kind. I love her attention to all the details! She mentioned she makes GF cookie dough that can be frozen as well to bake later. If you want a delicious GF cake give Sweet Expression a shot. You won't be disappointed.

My eye was first drawn to the churro, I haven't been able to have one in years, I was so excited. It was everything I ever wanted in a churro. Crispy outside, fluffy inside, and coated with cinnamon sugar. I could have polished off a dozen of them! The apple fritter was also on my must try list. I grew up loving apple fritters and since having to go GF, it is my most missed donut-adjacent treat. This one was smaller than a normal one, but that was fine because I could actually enjoy it without it being too big. Perfectly fluffy with apple pieces and spiced just right, it was delicious. The cruellers were nice and crispy on the outside and just sweet enough. Glazed with chocolate or regular icing, they are a perfect donut.

Both tasted very good but slightly different without dairy. Otherwise, I really enjoyed the flavor and textures. My friend ended up with the white chocolate macadamia nut cookie which was also great. I love a crunch or different texture mixed in. She did mention that the Rocky Road tasted a bit off because of the lack of dairy and the texture was a bit unusual. The staff were polite and patient and the place didn't seem that crowded for a Thursday around dinner time. I suppose with Ginger Elizabeth's and Rick's Dessert Diner all on the same strip, there is a lot of competition for dessert places here. We were happy to try something new. Everything was fairly clean and there was plenty of bar seating as well as a few tables. I believe there were also tables outside.

I only intended on grabbing one but everything looked absolutely beautiful so I couldn't make up my mind. The cherry pastry was a stunner and delicious as well with great flavor and a nice balance of sweetness. My husband wanted the Estelle Noisette and although it was good, it was my least favorite of the three. It had pleasant nutty flavors but it was a little too rich for me. In the end, the real standout was the Blueberry Choux. The cream was light and fluffy and it had just the right amount of blueberry flavor. I really liked the texture of the pastry too and how it complimented the fluffy cream. I would definitely order that one again and highly recommend it. The pastries are definitely on the pricey side, but the quality and presentation justify the cost. The interior of the shop was nice and definitely reminded me of patisseries in France. There was plenty of seating available inside but I took my order to go. I'm really glad I finally got to give them a try and while not every item was a home run for me, the Blueberry Choux alone made the visit worthwhile. I will definitely be back to explore more of their offerings very soon.

" He was making small talk with her and he asked her if we were her family. She asked him which one he thought was her "PARENT." He replied that he thought I was her grandmother. I'm 54 years old and have a 30-year-old daughter and my niece is 25. I don't even know how that would be possible. I was right next to them sitting at a table with my brother so of course I heard, and I got up and I said what's up with this grandma stuff, and he said that he answered her question and told her that he thought I was her grandmother. Honestly, I felt completely insulted like you're not supposed to say things like that to your customers or even about your customers. I felt myself getting ready to go completely off on him, so I walked away and went to sit back down. He had the audacity to tell my niece some people can't handle the truth. It's so baffling to me that a manager would say something like that. I know employees sometimes say inappropriate things, but he should know better!! This was supposed to be a nice family outing and he ruined my night. Luckily I have confidence in myself and his comment didn't give me a complex or make me like I look old. It was also disappointing because I went in there specifically to get an eclair, which is normally a decent size. For some reason, it was the half of the size and the same price.

Café de Olla is a classic Mexican coffee that offers a well-balanced blend of coffee, cinnamon, and brown sugar, often served with heavy cream to give you a comforting and energizing boost. Traditionally, it's even served at funerals as families celebrate the passing of a loved one into a better life. It's meant to be warm, rich, and meaningful. However, the café's version was far from that. The counter staff overpromised their Café de Olla, but it tasted terrible. When I asked to switch to a mocha because of how bad the coffee was, their friendly smile quickly disappeared. They didn't offer a replacement or try to make it right. Instead, I had to pay again for the mocha just to finish the coffee break with my wife. Very disappointing experience. It was an easy decision not to come back. If you're going to sell poor-quality coffee, at least stand behind it and fix the problem instead of charging customers twice. Promotes well in facebook- HELL NO not again.
