What I love is that whatever material she uses for the outside of the cake was not bitter. Usually cakes that look that nice use fondant that has a bitter, chewy taste. Miss Chan Chan did not disappoint! She was professional and produced the vision of the theme just as I envisioned it but better. I am so thankful she had availability to make it. Side note: Even people who don't typically eat red velvet at the party LOVED it! We will always have these memories to look back on and I am happy to know that my son's first experience with cake was this one.

If you're looking for a cake for a decent price, Shirley's business is a great option! I found her…read morethrough Yelp and inquired on her website. At first I was thinking of getting a custom cake but I quickly realized it was out of our budget--from all vendors, too. I guess I was a little naive in custom cake pricing. If only we had more $$ to drop for our son's bday but priorities!!! Nonetheless, Shirley was able to accommodate my budget and gave me the option of a plain cake with a custom topper. My son's been obsessed with MUNI buses and trains lately so I told her that either one would work. We communicated back and forth through email and Shirley was very prompt in responding. I paid the deposit and the amount due before the time frame. Note that I inquired around the same month of the event date, so somewhat late to the game in planning (I have a feeling some people plan two months in advanced because custom cookies and cakes usually are booked way out in advanced) but it still worked out for me! On the morning of, I picked up the cake and it looked amazing! Shirley's cake tasted great! She let me know that the MUNI bus topper was edible except the label. We chose to have a vanilla cake with chocolate buttercream filling and it tasted amazing! I forgot to take photos of the cross section but this cake was pretty darn yummy. The only feedback I have is that her typed responses can be more formal, with punctuation and less use of acronyms... which will help seem more professional and clear! However I understand that it's her way of expressing herself and it's been working for her... so to each their own, it just irked me as someone who teaches writing!

I messaged her on IG and she texted me that same day. I secured the date, made a payment, and sent her inspo pics and on the day of, she arrived on time and delivered the most beautiful cakes I could've dreamed up! The first time I worked with her, it was a simple sun themed cake and the second time I asked for a fairy-woodland inspired cake. Both were so good and were the centerpieces for our dessert table. I also ordered smash cakes from her, which were also really good even though they are made from really simple ingredients - my guests enjoyed both! lol. Our favorite is the strawberry shortcake - it got SO many compliments and the design was so gorgeous, some guests thought it was a fake cake hehehe. LOVE working with Fariha and will definitely think of her first for our most special events!

Full disclosure I did tell her "I wasn't too picky about particulars as long as it was pretty" and "wasn't worried about things matching" when she asked to me about matching the flowers. I went wrong here, I didn't realize that not wanting to be picky meant she would throw out 100% of the things she said she would do for our cake out the window. She pointed these things out to me when she said she felt she did nothing wrong. She did ask me if it was ok to do two of the four tiers as fake (with sheet cake), which I said I didn't mind. She ended up doing only the bottom tier as cake. The design, goodness, was bonkers. Pictures say more than words, so including them here. Why she would show us her portfolio, know we liked delicate design and mauve colors... and make this colorful, childlike cake is beyond me. We expected what she called the confetti, but what she created was nothing like the confetti she showed us. For reference, top right photo is her cake we picked as a reference, bottom right the colors we said we liked, and the left is what she delivered. Our other vendors were all super concerned about the cake ruining our photos. Guests certainly made comments about it. People liked the flavor, but the cake just looked ridiculous. It looked rushed and sloppy. Given that she texted me about the decorating at 12:30pm on the wedding day for our 3pm delivery is enough evidence to me it was rushed. On our honeymoon she was anxious we didn't like the cake, and offered to "rectify", but when we reached out she refused to offer any amount of refund. I wasn't asking for the full cake to be refunded. Paying $1300 for this cake is a HUGE ripoff considering the cake was 3 tiers of Styrofoam, decorated last minute, looked nothing at all whatsoever like what we asked for... at the most, I think this was worth the $600 it would have cost to buy a plain cake from someone else. It was after all almost no decoration work and mostly a sheet cake. The cake flavors tasted good. People ate the cake. But the experience tasted disappointing.

***To be clear, my husband and I did receive a full refund for our wedding cake***…read more We booked Kathleen to bake our wedding cake in January for our wedding in June. At the first tasting, we booked Kathleen; her cakes were so delicious, full of unique flavor, and soft and fluffy. A few things throughout the process leading up to our wedding went wrong, but nothing that caused us to rethink our decision-- Kathleen canceling our first tasting the day before due to being sick, not responding to emails for several days or even a couple of weeks on more than a few occasions, canceling our second tasting the day of because she didn't order an ingredient with enough time (but she did deliver a few samples to us the next day). Because of these inconsistencies, I checked in with Kathleen 3 days before our wedding to make sure everything was on track for our wedding cake. She responded with, " Yep! Yep! Yep! Can't wait!" Going through with A Spoonful of Sugar cakes was the biggest mistake; we literally hated our wedding cake, which cost almost $1,000. The cake showed up late, after our guests had been seated for the reception. The frosting wasn't even fondant (which we paid for) and it was messy and uneven, with holes and gaps. There were leaves stuck haphazardly around the cake, and we had specifically ordered white sugar flowers to be flowing around the cake. In addition, the flavors were off, and the cake was dry. Please see photos (last few photos are our wedding cake, first photo is our "inspiration" cake that had previously been made by Kathleen). Our entire wedding was beautiful and elegant, and then there was the cake--completely opposite of everything it was supposed to be. I was so angry that I emailed Kathleen the night of our wedding. She responded that she was going through a health crisis and she apologized for the cake not meeting her usual standards. After she didn't offer one, I asked for a refund, and she gave one to us. We got a refund, but our wedding photos include the cake, and it literally makes me sad and disappointed every time I see photos with the cake.

Best. Wedding. Cake. Ever…read more We heard that from quite a few of our guests. The bride was sold on Red Velvet cake from Satura Cakes. No ifs, ands or buts....until we tried Sonja's vanilla with fresh strawberries. Amazingly good for any kinda cake, let alone wedding cake. So we decide to meet up after getting the sample at a bridal show. We met up with Sonja at the Stanford Starbucks and she was early. and like Dani said, she was on her blackberry but I can't hate because when the wifey is at the mall, this guy is all over his iphone waiting for her to finish. she was courteous and we tried a bunch of flavors. we wanted to try some of her other flavors and she was nice enough to schedule another tasting and we decided to go with her. Sonja had some great feedback for flavor choices (I liked lemon cake the most but she suggested more vanilla/chocolate because lemon can be a love/hate flavor). In the end, we went with a banana cake with chocolate cream layer, a alternating vanilla/chocolate with fresh strawberries for 2 middle layers and a lemon with fresh strawberries and whipped cream for the top layer for us to keep. Her prices were inline/lower than other bakeries that we checked out. We had to put a 50% deposit but who cares...you're gonna need to pay for that cake sooner or later. Can't put that bad boy on layaway. Yes she's a small bakery but like Jenni said, it's a good thing. She really puts forth a great product, competitive prices and you are gonna get some serious compliments. Hire Sonja and you won't be disappointed. p.s. I love cake tasting. where else do you get a ton of cake slices to try for free? Couples should pretend to get married and go on cake tasting dates.

Sonja's prices on wedding cake are some of the most reasonable in the Bay Area, and her work is quite nice, and shoot, by hiring a local independent contractor, you're supporting your local economy, which the Mr. and I felt good about. We met Sonja for our tasting at the local Starbucks and discussed flavors and designs. As Dani L stated, Sonja will bring her most popular combinations for you to try, so if you see something on the list ahead of time that you really want to taste, let her know before your tasting. We absolutely loved our wedding cake. It was beautiful: three tiers, two of them offset squares, the third, a circle, with different geometric designs on each layer and flowers. And it was delicious both the day-of as well as the next day. Several of our guests raved that it was the best wedding cake they had ever had. And as for me, well, I still dream about the buttercream frosting. Really, I have no complaints.
