Sweet Oak Bakery - Custom 1st birthday cake - Custom Cakes Near Me

Well NAPA... you win. Again. Your gain and a big L for LA. Ordered a cake last year from Sweet Oak. They made an exceptional "Fall Harvest Cake" - vegan - and it was amazing. Decadent, rich, generously prepared and absolutely delicious. Tried to order again, but relocation of the operation to Napa has thwarted my intentions in the extreme. Napa Folk, If you are considering: strong recommend. They were so responsive, kind, and just a lovely / easy experience all the way around. Definitely a spectacular and special addition to your table, whatever the occasion! read more

It's so refreshing to find a bakery that makes vegan treats. I've ordered a dozen scones from Sweet oak bakery as well as a pie for the holiday coming up. I've also had some of their vegan muffins at a local coffee shop. I look forward to trying more of their treats The flavor of the maple vegan scones paired very well with my nice coffee latte. Look forward to many more treats! And they delivered to my doorstep! Can't get better service than that. Thank you Robert and Aurora Mitchell read more

We had a wonderful experience with Sweet Oak Bakery for my wife's recent birthday party. The cake (with both a tier of vanilla berry and a tier of triple chocolate) was delicious. Party guests also enjoyed 6 dozen chocolate chip and snickerdoodle cookies as parting party favors. Working with Emily on the cake design and the added cookie order was a pleasure. Even the transaction process and the delivery logistics were effortless. Highly recommend! read more

Ordered a Gluten-Free Berry Vanilla Cake for my boyfriend's birthday and it was absolutely AMAZING!! All of our guests were shocked that it was THAT good AND gluten-free. I Placed my order over the phone which was really helpful because Emily was able to talk me through exactly what I was ordering. She was so easy to work with: invoice sent via email to pay for the cake and even changed my cake size two days before the pickup. And thank goodness I did, because it meant we got to have some left overs just for us the next day. Will definitely be going back to Sweet Oak for any future gluten-free baking needs. read more

Emily made a dozen cupcakes for my friend's baby shower- they were incredible! Chocolate and vanilla with buttercream frosting...they looked AND tasted amazing.

Such a unique place and very personalized. My friend and I ordered a cake from here for another friend since her favorite type (lemon poppyseed) wasn't anywhere else nearby. Emily was amazingly sweet and patient when we gave her instructions! She was also really responsive when we would call her. We also were not expecting to arrive at an apartment complex, but it made her cakes much more personalized and unique since it didn't feel like it was mass produced for many people. She showed us the cake and it looked fantastic! I couldn't wait to taste it. It lived up to all of my expectations (and I don't usually like cake). My friend loved her cake and was so excited we managed to find a lemon poppyseed cake! I am definitely coming back here again for my own birthday to get the cake of my dreams. read more

My family ordered a cake for my grandma's 88th birthday. Emily was very responsive and responded to our order inquiry right away. She was transparent with the pricing (super reasonable), making sure we were okay with the final invoice before finalizing the order. Emily delivered the cakes to our address right on time. The cakes were SO beautiful. We ordered vanilla cakes with market fruit filling and the berries used were sweet. So many people asked where we got the cake from! My grandma felt so celebrated and has literally been talking about it for days. read more

Heard at the fancy bridal shower where three of Emily's cakes were served: - "This is the best cake I have EVER EATEN!" - "Can I get the recipe?" - "The cakes were the hit of the party!" We were asked to bring dessert, and Emily made us look SO GOOD. Deciding on flavors was not easy, but we went with Vanilla Berry, Triple Chocolate, and Lemon Poppyseed. All three were exceptionally delicious. They taste homemade, because they are--right in Emily's home kitchen. The real, quality ingredients make these cakes memorable. Several guests asked for Emily's contact info. They and I can't wait to try all of her other offerings. Yum!!! Attached is a photo of the three cakes with the flowers and cake toppers we added. read more

We had the absolute pleasure of having Emily make our wedding cake and desserts for 100 guests. The cake was absolutely STUNNING, she delivered exactly what we asked for and was so accommodating. She was attentive to our needs and had ideas and input that we never would have thought of ourselves. The cake and the variety of desserts we picked tasted so good- nothing was overly sweet, which was the only thing I ever worry about with desserts. 100% would recommend using Sweet Oak for any future events. And I'm going to keep buying the lemon bars forever because they were PERFECT. Also, she made incredible vegan and gluten free cookies! read more

I was suddenly tasked with purchasing vegan birthday cakes for a friends birthday. Luckily, a quick search found Sweet Oak, which I hadn't heard of before, but decided to try based on the Yelp reviews. And I am so happy I did. I ordered the Chocolate Seasonal Fruit Vegan cake and the Vegan Tahitian Vanilla. Both were moist and incredibly delicious, which isn't always the case when you're taking away the animal products. As you can imagine, most of the guests at the party were NOT vegan, but those cakes were decimated quickly. Emily was sweet and responsive and I can't wait till the next time I need to order a cake. It also feels great to support a small growing business, run by a talented baker. read more

Emily's work is incredible! Her site is beautiful and she is very communicative. Not only are her cakes a piece of art, but they taste delicious. I ordered the seasonal coconut cake and it gave off such a lovely aroma. The cake was moist and the buttercream was heavenly. It was so fresh and truly a perfect balance of flavors and textures. The birthday boy loved his cake so much. I'll definitely order again when my birthday comes around (and I'll honestly probably order another cake for no reason before then, because there is no way I'll be able to wait until my birthday Haha) read more

We could not have been happier with the cake for my daughter's birthday. Emily always responded to my questions right away and helped me plan a cake that best suited our event.

I think most people had two slices! read more

I gave Sweet Oak a try after my previous baker moved her business out of town. I was not disappointed! The process for ordering a birthday cake for my wife was quick and easy. The cake was ready as promised and the quality of the cake was fantastic! The cake was fresh and moist, not overly sweet (the way we like it), and beautifully made. I highly recommend Emily to those looking for a quality cake! read more

If you like cake, but not the cloyingly sweet kind, this is the perfect bakery for you. I got the berry vanilla cake for a celebratory dinner for 5 girls, thinking everyone would only eat a small slice so I ordered the 6". Probably could've ordered the bigger size because that cake went fast! Everyone went in for seconds and we all agreed this cake was the perfect balance of sweetness. Emily was immediate in responding and was so helpful/accommodating when trying to figure out size, writing on the cake, etc. Cannot recommend this place enough, especially to people on the West Side who appreciate seasonal flavors. Will definitely be ordering from here again soon. read more

Emily has good cakes and in full disclosure, I had a positive experience with her in December, but I may not order from her again due to the hassle. If you are planning to order a cake from her, just keep in mind that the turnaround time of 24-48 hours listed on the website is not confirmed until she responds back to you and finalizes the order. It will be helpful to have this noted on the website and Yelp. To briefly describe why I rated the business 3-stars: Pros: + Cake is good + Turnaround can be prompt during the normal course of business operation Cons - Poor communication/ordering process In brief, the owner was out of town for a week and this was not noted on her website. I had submitted a web order and did not receive any kind of notification that she was out of town at all. So, please check the Yelp page instead of her website - I do not because I don't check Yelp unless it's my first time ordering from somewhere. Also, please use the email/phone functions, as the website is not up-to-date for her availability. I had put in what I assumed to be an order confirmation through her website on Friday to place an order for the cake to be picked up on Tuesday and I had sent an email confirmation as well to follow up, just in case the web order was not received. I received an email response on Sunday at 9AM, requesting that I further confirm the order by giving her a call and/or email by 5PM that same day, or else she will be cancelling my order as she is closed on Mondays and will not be receiving any emails or responding to requests. As a customer, there was no possible way for me to know that I needed to keep an eye on my email in order to respond with a final confirmation. More frustratingly, I had also listed my phone number on the form but did not receive any calls from her on Sunday. Given the short turnaround time (8 hours) for me to respond, this whole situation could have been easily avoided had she had just called me or left me a voicemail before cancelling my order. On a personal level, it just does not feel great to have my order cancelled/not fulfilled because I did not respond to an email within a stipulated timeframe that I had no way of knowing about beforehand. Emily did also call me on Monday on her day off, which I appreciated. I asked if this was something that is still doable for her, or if I should just go to Whole Foods and pick something up at this point, and she noted that I should go to Whole Foods. This is not a problem - I'm not expecting that she work during her off day to make the cake. But just noting that unlike her comment, I was not under the impression at any time that she was still willing to go through with the order. I would have taken her up on her offer if she had availed it to me. If that was a misunderstanding on my end, I apologize. I would strongly suggest for Emily to list any unavailability on the website in addition to Yelp, as there is an order inquiry form there and not everyone checks Yelp. Additionally, if such a situation should arise in the future, it's always appreciated to give the customer a call if you need more information for the order, as that is still a much faster way to reach someone. read more
