I got a chance to tag along in a wedding cake tasting. Cakes were delicious. And after the couple tried quite a few well known bakeries in OC and Long Beach they easily chose Sweet Traders. Perfect level of moistness and great filling and cake combinations to try. The facility is very clean. And the session was professional and friendly. Try them out! read more

Sweet traders made a beautiful cake that was beach theme for our wedding! They provide you a tasting for the cakes before committing to a flavor, we loved the banana pecan with Vanila and chocolate hazelnut frosting! We sent them some inspo photos for the cake and looked like it came out of a picture! It was beautiful and had many chocolate seashells on it. Overall very pleased with outcome would order a cake from them for future events! read more

I cannot emphasize enough how stunning my cake from Sweet Traders was! I found a photo on Pinterest of something I wanted for a birthday cake and they recreated it perfectly. It was even better than I could have imagined. Plus, it tasted incredible! I could not believe a vegan cake could taste so good. Andrea was amazing to work with. I'll definitely be using Sweet Traders again. read more

I don't normally write reviews, but Sweet Traders absolutely deserves one. They've created custom cakes for my little one for the past five years, and every single year they somehow raise the bar even higher. The designs are stunning, the flavors are incredible, and the amount of care that goes into each cake truly shows. Not only do the cakes look amazing--they taste even better. The owner is one of the kindest, warmest people you'll meet. Working with her has been a genuine joy every time. It's rare to find a business that consistently delivers this level of quality, creativity, and heart. If you're searching for a place to make your celebration unforgettable, look no further. Sweet Traders is a one-of-a-kind experience. Highly, highly recommend! read more

The pictures speak for themselves. That is why I am giving Sweet Traders a 5 star review. I have been using them for years for my kids' birthday parties, and they consistently create the most creative and delicious edible artwork. I have shared inspiration photos for cakes and cookies, and they always turn them into true masterpieces that taste just as amazing as they look. I have ordered custom sugar cookies that are basically works of art, yet still incredibly delicious. My favorite cake flavor so far is the confetti cake with vanilla cream and fresh strawberries. I cannot wait to try more flavors and designs for my next event! Finally I have had the cakes delivered to multiple events. The team is prompt, professional and incredibly careful, and puts on a beautiful display! read more

Im typically someone who doesn't write a review but...the cake they made for my daughter's 40th was amazing!! We celebrated her birthday at a restaurant and as they were bringing the cake out for me you could see the other guest just stop and look at the cake! The Manager came and told me they have never seen a cake designed like this. The design was all my daughter's favorite things, going to National Parks, Disneyland, Wine Tasting (Winnie the Pooh holding a glass of wine), Charcuterie Board and her Bernadoodle. It is still being talked about because she was so touched by it she posted her celebration on social media that included the cake. From idea to cake perfection, not to mention the cake tasted so good. THANK YOU for being one of the highlights of her celebration. read more

How can you go wrong with a place that was featured and WON on Foodnetworks' Winner Cake All? We went for our wedding cake tasting during COVID and chose our wedding flavors. We opted for 2 cake flavors: almond cake with vanilla buttercream and marble with oreo frosting in between the layers. I then came back a few years later for my friends' baby shower cake testing. They remembered me as a bride which was so touching :) Bring inspirational photos from Pinterest or IG! We ordered the strawberry flavored cake with cream cheese buttercream. OH EM GEE - not one slice was left and the guests raved about it so much that they asked who the baker was. Came back a few months down the line and ordered a dozen funfetti gender reveal cupcakes. I sent in a few pictures and worked with Andrea on the customizations. Our families loved the cupcakes and asked again who, what, where they were from. Moist and not to sweet, not one cupcake was left. Sweet Traders will work with you on your dream desserts' customization and they have SO many different cake, frostings and filling flavors, you'll have a hard time deciding. Call in for a cake testing as well to help you narrow down your choices. We have recommended this place to all our families and friends and they are the best in the business in HB. read more

We had our wedding cake done by Sweet Traders and my gosh -- it was delicious, delightful, and gorgeous. During wedding planning, we did not spend a lot of time thinking about the cake, this wasn't due to lack of importance, but rather trying to juggle a million other things. Luckily, Sweet Traders made it *easy*. First -- when we did the tasters, their cake stood out immediately. The texture, the fluffiness, the perfect flavors. Even the care around the packaging stood out from the others we tried -- it told us these are folks who care. Then, when we actually saw our wedding cake for the first time. My wife started crying. It was so beautiful. We got so many compliments on it. I highly recommend Sweet Traders and we will be lifelong customers. read more

Girlfriend reached out about a cake over a month in advance (with the date of the event in the initial email), and received a prompt response asking for details. Then nothing. Company didn't reply until a month later, after the date had already passed. It felt unprofessional. If you're booked over, you could have led with that in the initial response. If you missed the email, that's poor management and is unprofessional still. But 1-1.5 months lead time seems reasonable on our end, since their website 2-3 days for quote requests and only 2 weeks notice for a cake. Kind of a bummer since they seem to be held in quite high regard. read more

I plan to update my review after my wedding but for now I want to talk about the cake tasting. Due to COViD we had to do a pick up tasting. We tried vanilla, devils food, white chocolate & marble. We also tried lemon filling, vanilla Bavarian, whipped cream and cream cheese. Even though it wasn't a "normal" experience it was still great! We absolutely loved the cakes & fillings we tried. It was a tough decision to make but we chose devils food with vanilla Bavarian, and vanilla with raspberry. I loved the whipped cream filling as well so it was hard to pick. We are getting married at the Hyatt in Huntington Beach which partners with Sweet Traders. There are 4 places we had to pick from but Sweet Traders is the only one we considered after seeing their photos & reading the reviews. I cannot wait for my guests to try the cake and look forward to updating this review after the wedding!! read more

My daughter went to SIX bakeries across Southern California for cake tastings. Six. Not kidding. She was very excited about Sweet Taders and thought she finally found the cake she wanted. I was nervous because even though the cake at the tasting g was good, replicating it for a 4-tier cake is very different than serving a smaller slice at a tasting. Holy cow! Not only was the cake itself absolutely gorgeous, the taste was out-of-this world. The cake was moist and light. The filling was creamy and the buttercream frosting was amazing. The overall flavor was light, not too sweet and FRESH! I have never had such an amazing wedding cake ever!! I can't recommend this amazing company enough. From the tasting, through the design process, to the final product - Samantha and her team at Sweet Traders did an amazing, incredible job. read more

I had a great experience with Sweet Traders: the communication was easy and quick, their ideas for design were nice and simple (we had a Harry Potter theme, and they put the golden snitch on top of the vanilla cupcakes), and the price was good. Now the cupcakes: I order mini cupcakes - ideal size for kids, and they were with the ideal amount of sugar. They were delicious. From now on, I'm ordering from Sweet Traders. read more

Best wedding cake ever!! They did not bat an eye when my wife and I inquired about getting a wedding cake(and surprise cake for my grandmother's birthday) for our wedding. Our consultation was very intimate and we never once felt like we were being "sold" on anything. We were able to select 3 different flavor/frosting combinations and it was so hard! All of their cakes and fillings are delicious. We chose lemon blueberry cake with raspberry filling, marble cake with a raspberry chocolate ganache and lastly a confetti cake with a vanilla Bavarian filling. You will not be disappointed with any combination. We can wait to get a small cake for our 1 year anniversary! read more

I've been following Sweet Traders on IG for a while. Every single one of their creation is beyond gorgeous and simply, a work of art. I knew that I was going to have them create a cake for me eventually. My boyfriend's birthday was coming up and I was the sole planner/provider (I was paying for all the food, games, treat bags) and I really had to stick to a budget. I contacted Sweet Traders and asked for a quote for an eight-inch Clash of Clan themed cake -boyfriend's always playing that silly game. I was given the quote of $173. I wanted to make sure that was a reasonable price so I messaged 6 other businesses who quoted me (same cake) $300+. Whoa. Sweet Traders it is. I paid the whole price (bring cash! I didn't have any and was charged a CC fee) and finalized my order with the bakery 2 weeks prior to event date. To note, I sized down to seven-inch so the new total was around $165. When the employee brought out the cake, I almost cried. It looked even better than the Pinterest image I emailed them. Amazing. The details on the warrior was exquisite. When the cake was brought out for the guests, people went crazy! Phones out, flashes, video taping. This was pretty much an epic-looking cake. And the taste! I'd selected lemon blueberry with Bavarian cream. Such a lovely tasting cake. It was similar to a pound cake, a bit denser but so delicious. A friend, who just had her wedding stated she should've selected ST as her cake vendor. Haha. And my boyfriend, he doesn't even like cake but when he tasted this cake, he was very surprised. He LOVED it! He said it wasn't too sweet and was very tasty. He ate his slice happily. Sweet Traders, bless you. Seriously. You have the best prices around and most importantly, you provide quality products. Thank you for being so easy to work with. Thank you for providing me such great memories. And thank you for ensuring that there'll be a super expensive present for me under the Christmas tree from my boyfriend this year. read more

We attended a wedding last year and our friends had ordered their cake from here. Ever since then, all my husband could talk about was the lemon raspberry cake from that day. So naturally for his birthday this year, I had to order him a cake from here. We live two hours away but I had a friend pick up the cake and drive it to us! The cake got a little shaken up on the drive and it was a hot day so it fell apart a little bit, but that was our fault. I only managed to get a not so good picture of the cake but you can see all the beautiful detail that was put into it! The cake was not only gorgeous but delicious as well. The ordering process was also very easy and painless, as sweet traders was very responsive over email. My son's first birthday is coming up and I can't wait to order his cake from here! read more

I ended up getting off early so I called and asked if it would be available for 5PM. The associate told me "No it won't be ready, it would be ready closer to 6:30." We then agreed that I could stop by closer to their closing time (9pm) since I don't live in the area. I could drive home then come back to pick it up. I arrived at 8:15PM, the associate tells me when I arrive "I'm so sorry it's not ready, I thought you'd be here closer to 8:45PM." I say "No worries I'll come back at 8:45PM." I come back to pick up the cake. It comes out hot and newly decorated with icing. 10 minutes down the road I check the cake, and the icing is completely melted.

I leave my contact info, and I receive a call within 20 minutes from the store manager, Dustin. I explain the situation and how the cake is not presentable anymore for the birthday event I ordered it for. He apologizes and offers a dozen cookies or a refund. Since there's no time for me to drive back to Huntington Beach for a party that is in Pasadena within the next hour, we opt for the refund and Dustin states, "This is my personal number, I'll shoot you a text when that refund goes through." A week later, no refund, no communication, no follow-up. I called Dustin one more time, left a voicemail and one additional text just incase. Over the course of several days, still no response. Suffice to say, it is what it is. I just wanted a refund for the cake that I bought which I ended up not even bringing to the event I got it for because of the melted icing. TLDR: product wasn't ready at the time it was agreed upon to be ready, when product was picked up it was faulty, the manager offered a refund that never came and ghosted me

Review Update: I…read morestill stand by my original opinion that the ice cream is delicious. However, I wanted to update my review to reflect my full experience, as my initial 5-star review was written under a bit of pressure. At the register, there's a sign offering a free scoop in exchange for leaving a Yelp review. You're asked to show the cashier your review before receiving the free scoop. What they don't tell you upfront is that you also have to make a purchase to redeem the free scoop. Another thing I noticed is that our ice cream melted noticeably faster than expected. I'm not sure if it's due to the ingredients or something else, but it was something we both experienced. That said, I still recommend giving this place a try if you're in the area. They offer a wide variety of flavors, and you do get one free sample per person before deciding. Just keep in mind that the Yelp ratings may be influenced by the free-scoop promotion, the prices are a bit on the higher side because of the location, and the ice cream may melt faster than you're used to. Thanks again for your help, Nate!

I'm a big cake person when it comes to special events so that of course means I have high expectations when it comes to dessert tables and what not. I've always been going to a this one other store near my house but since they've been lacking in the proper customer service, I decided maybe it's time to find a new place. So after some research and calls, I came across Sweet Traders. I even came there and checked out the place because I wanted to see what type of flavors they offered & I've got to admit, their variation in flavors and colors is tremendously impressive. So last year for my boyfriend's sister's birthday, I decided to do an "under the sea" theme and I got everything done by them! They even delivered it for me but that was for across nm extra fee of course. & there's also a minimum required for delivery! Ever since my previous order with them, they've always been my go-to spot for orders. I just placed an order with them last night! Although I placed it pretty last minute, Rachael was still able to accommodate to my request. I love that she was very quick and responsive via email. Now that my order has been put in, all there is left to do is wait and see how this cake turns out! I know they strive their best to make their customers happy so I have high hopes this cake will look just as good as all their work! :) Thanks Rachael! Keep up the great work :) read more

I found this business on Yelp after looking for bakeries to do a custom cake for my sons birthday and was impressed by all the great reviews despite the odd one or two negative ones. Having lived in Europe we became spoiled by the high quality of bakeries there so I was looking for a bakery that used a real buttercream, not the Crisco mixed with powdered sugar, like many American bakeries. I live in Long Beach and have tried most of the ones here and have been disappointed. I was very impressed with the young lady that helped me, I had a budget to keep to so she suggested doing a smaller cake and then cupcakes for the rest to keep the cost down. We had a yummy moist lemon cake with raspberry cream and Italian buttercream frosting, and chocolate cupcakes with chocolate buttercream. We had so many compliments from our friends and kids going back for a second cupcake and the design came out great. This is now my third bakery I have tried in Huntington Beach, having already been to Great Dane & Bubba Sweets and been vastly disappointed. Well, third times a charm and Sweet Traders is a keeper for me! My only regret is that they are not a regular retail bakery and you do need to pre-order. read more

Everything was perfect. We went to them first when looking for cake bakers for our wedding cake. The baker herself greeted us (unlike the cashier at other places). She was friendly and helped us design a wedding cake unique to us. It was the best quality cake we've ever tasted!! Every other bakery we tried was such a let down in comparison. They arrived on time wedding day. We had three tier square cake and everyone kept asking if they were boxes with the cake inside. It was perfectly symmetrical!!

For $40 we got to decorate 6 cookies apiece to take home. When I went, it was a summer theme, so we did two cacti, 2 pineapples, and 2 watermelon slices. They came out very cute, though mine were not as smooth as they should have been. Practice makes perfect though. Looking forward to trying again! Definitely follow her on Facebook and Instagram, so you can see just how cute the cookies are!

Love this cookie! I'm in love with the cookie kits! So much fun without that extra work.read more

Poul's has great communication and they responded to my inquiry dame day. They offered delivery for the day of the party. Great service and delicious desserts!

I've never put an order for a cake before so this experience is was all new to me. I went on their…read morewebsite to put in a request for a Napoleon birthday cake with a ganache top. They had a number which I called and the person on the other end gave a number which I could text more details about what I needed, for how many, my name, etc. Since they were driving and couldn't take my order at the moment I made sure to provide as much info and the time/day. I put the order 5 days before I said it needed it and they agreed it can be done by then. I thought it was easy and I just followed it up with the change of topping on the cake. I explicitly stated to text me if they needed anything else from me since I have never done this before. I probably should've followed them up, but I was busy that week. Since I didn't hear anything afterwards I thought I had secured my order. The day I come to pick up the cake, they tell me they don't have the order. The lady who I spoke to, who I'm assuming was on the phone when I initially called, is telling me I put a request not an order and that I didn't even provide my full name (not true, I did). I'm being told that I shouldve put down a deposit and have a contract with them for the cake. I wasn't provided with any contract or a Zelle username. If I had that information I would've absolutely done it. As a business you should provide the customer with that sort of information. I had no idea and I wasn't told that thru text. Should I have followed up? Absolutely, i know that now. There's no information on the website about a contract or deposit information. Only the phone number that I first called. So they should probably update that if they have so many orders and can't keep track with request. There was a lot of deflection from the lady when i tried to explain my grievance. No apology either for the confusion. I felt crazy because I thought I might've missed their messages. Nope nothing. Only the Zelle information after I had arrive there. Luckily, they had puff pastry ready and told me they could have the cake ready in 15 min, and I really needed the cake so I agree to still do business. When I got the cake it was still warm and they told me to freeze it in my refrigerator for it to set. 15 min to get to my place and the ganache has melted off the top and custard had already spilled out from the sides. I had a long drive afterwards and not even an insulated bag could save it. It did taste good, it's too bad about communication, and everything else.
