Miriam is amazing!!! The cookies were exactly what I wanted and as delicious as they were cute! I was looking to gift custom cookies for an event I was hosting and Miriam was a delight to work with. I placed a custom sugar cookie order on Sweet Vanilla Bake Shop's website and heard back within 24 hours. We discussed additional design and delivery logistics over email. Miriam is super thorough and was so considerate of my ever-changing requests. I landed on 2 dozen-- 8 sets of 3 custom cookies each. On delivery day, the cookies were delivered promptly within my requested window. She even included extras which I was so grateful for-- they were devoured immediately (so. good.). I assumed that the cookies would be bundled in a simple cellophane bag, but these were individually wrapped and THEN carefully packaged in these adorable boxes. Just above and beyond. Everyone was raving about the cookies that night! My pics don't do these cookies justice :') They're so beautiful and well-made, melts in your mouth and just the right amount of sweet. The design was perfect. Thank you to Miriam!!! Hope to work with you again for more events :) read more

Miriam did it again! Stunned us with her delicious and gorgeous desserts! After an easy decision to call her again for our son's second birthday, we were once again elated with Miriam's work. She created a Cars themed cake (pictured) and we of course ordered her cupcakes and macarons. She still delivers locally, and her prices are still very fair for her high quality work. Thank you Miriam!!! read more

Miriam is so talented!!! She made the tastiest desserts for my kids' birthday parties. They were almost too cute to eat! She is a great communicator and helped me with every small detail along the way.

Miriam was professional and easy to work with and the delivery was smooth and on time. She made a custom "camping wedding cake" for me and it turned out perfect. Such a fun and beautiful and moist and delicious chocolate cake. She really listened to what I wanted. I also ordered her macarons and everyone swore they were the best macarons they ever had. The raspberry ones exploded with flavor. Baked perfectly. Delicious and visually stunning.... read more

We had a wonderful experience with Miriam at Sweet Vanilla Bake Shop. I was scrambling around for 2 cakes-- a smash cake to celebrate my son's 1st birthday and a corresponding thanksgiving cake, since my son's first birthday happened to fall on Thanksgiving! Most bakers weren't working Thanksgiving, but Miriam stepped up to the challenge. She made an adorable cookie monster smash cake and the adults raved about the fall-themed cake. The adult cake was delicious and my son LOVED the smash cake. The flavors were not your regular vanilla with a ton of sugar overload-- it was delicate and balanced, which I really appreciated. Thank you so much Miriam! Next time I need baked goods for a special occasion, Sweet Vanilla Bake Shop will be my first call. read more

I ordered a cake for my 23rd birthday & it was the highlight of the entire weekend. It was so delicious and communication with Miriam was easy and stress-free. Attaching pictures!!! Highly recommend! read more

We've never been less than thrilled with orders from Sweet Vanilla Bake Shop. We've ordered the holiday cookie kits several times- they're neat and delicious and make an awesome gift or an easy thing to bring as a group activity. The cinnamon rolls at Christmas had the most amazing frosting! All orders were completed on time and looked fantastic- we'll be coming back for more. YUM! read more

Everything about Sweet Vanilla Bake Shop makes party planning just a bit easier. Miriam is super quick with her replies, very clear in her communications, and is just a pleasure to work with! As so many others have stated, her cakes are absolutely delicious. Her buttercream is the smoothest I've ever had and has just the right amount of sweetness to not be overwhelming. I'm normally the person that eats the cake and leaves the buttercream, but with Miriam's cake, there is nothing leftover. We have ordered two cakes from her in the past 6 months (chocolate with vanilla buttercream and strawberries & cream), and both flavors are amazing. And finally, the decor work on Miriam's cakes is incredible. Our daughter picked a Paw Patrol theme, and the level of detail that Miriam put into each element of the cake was truly impressive. The cake that Miriam made for my birthday in April was also beautifully crafted, so she is talented with kids and non-kids cakes alike! We highly recommend Miriam and look forward to enjoying her cakes for as long as she is willing to make them for us! read more

Miriam's cakes are a thing of beauty! She made a dino themed cake for my sons 3rd birthday and it was amazing! The decorations, the flavors, everything was perfection!

We ordered a cake for our 10 month old son's family meet and greet/red egg and ginger party. We are huge science nerds and asked her to artistically incorporate the solar system into the cake's theme. THEN we mentioned our son is allergic to peanuts, tree nuts, and EGGS. Miriam came through and then some. Not only did she admit to doing a little research before designing the cake (all planets accurately accounted for MINUS pluto!). Then she added a little bonus so our son can touch, smash, and eat to his little heart's content: a delicious smaller side cake made ALLERGEN FREE! Check out the photo ladies and gents! Sweet Vanilla Bake Shop. "Sweetens your special day one custom cake at a time!" Thank you Miriam and SVBS! read more

I love to bake but sometimes you need a professional. Using Yelp and IG I found this gem in the City and she collaborated with me to make my birthday cake. A small fee for delivery across the bay and I must tell you it exceeded my expectations! It's *gorgeous* and just the right size. And when I lifted the lid the smell of vanilla and cream was heavenly. I am so excited for this gift! Miriam has obvious skills and a great artist flair. Highly recommend! read more

The unicorn cake that Miriam created for my daughter's 6th birthday was PERFECT! I ordered a chocolate cake with cookies n' cream filling and it was delicious! I also really liked that the cake was not insanely sweet like you would imagine a cake like that would be. My daughter and our guests loved it and received so many compliments on how pretty the cake was. I originally emailed Miriam a picture of an inspo cake and then crossed my fingers and hoped the cake and the colors would come out as I hoped. When she delivered the cake, I was so happy to see that her cake was exactly as I envisioned, if not better! All correspondence with Miriam was through email and she was really easy to work with - her impeccable customer service and prompt email correspondence was so appreciated on my end. Unlike a number of other bakeries I contacted, her website lists pricing for her cakes and treats which, along with her outstanding Yelp reviews, was a big factor on why I chose Sweet Vanilla Bake Shop. Miriam has a genuine talent for creating delicious and beautiful cakes and I'm honestly looking forward to having a reason to need another cake! read more

Sweet Vanilla Bake Shop is amazing! Miriam made the most beautiful and delicious birthday cake and cupcakes for my son's birthday. All the party guests praised how awesome the cake was.

I would definitely use Sweet Vanilla Bake Shop again for my next party. read more

Miriam made the most BEAUTIFUL cake and sugar cookies for our 100 Day Red Egg Celebration for my daughter (which also happened to land on my husband's birthday). She was very easy to work with and I appreciated that she was very clear in regards to quoting and costs for some of the ideas we threw around. She was always very prompt with her replies as well as very open and informative as to what options could be done. The end result was BEAUTIFUL. My photos did not do it justice and the cake and cookies were not only pretty, but delicious! We received so many compliments! Cake was buttercream exterior (as I'm not a fan of fondant) and lemon on the inside. DELISH. Her brown butter cake is amazing, but we opted for lemon given our audience for the event. My husband is a huge fan of Star Trek, hence why I asked to put him in the Next Generation captain's uniform as well as have the cookies coincide. She did a great job mixing the two, which I was worried would be a little odd but ended up being very sweet and so us. Thank you again! Would recommend her in a heartbeat as well as want another occasion to order goodies for! read more

Miriam was a pleasure to work with. She promptly answered my initial email and always responded promptly. She accurately described the sweetness level of her cakes (We do not like super sweet Susie Cakes cake where the only flavor is sugar). She also agreed to use no artificial coloring as we don't like to serve chemicals to children (or adults). She delivered the most amazing cupcakes to our party. Several people told me they usually refuse cupcakes but they tried these and were so pleasantly surprised. They were delicious. Her buttercream is smooth and light...it's magical. People were going in for seconds! We highly recommend Sweet Vanilla Bakeshop!!! I wish she had a storefront because her cupcakes are amazing and should be eaten daily. read more

Miriam did a fantastic job of creating an incredible cake for my daughter's baby shower. She had lots of ideas but I ended up falling in love with a picture I saw on Pinterest. She was totally fine with that and the cake turned out beautiful. And delicious! Definitely the hit of the shower. And Miriam's communication was superb. She responded quickly and completely so I was never left wondering if this was going to work out. And she personally delivers the cake. I'll definitely be contacting Miriam again and recommending her to my family and friends. read more

The cake was definitely one of the stars of the show of our party. Thank you so much, Miriam! read more

Miriam took on our last minute request for a cake for our engagement party with less time than she usually requires and absolutely knocked it out of the park!

I would recommend her business to anyone looking for a high quality personalized cake that ticks all the boxes! read more

COVID shelter-in-place with no chance of a family/friend celebration. How to make my daughter Jen's 50th birthday special in a way that would show I am thinking about her? I decided to order a cake from Miriam Lowe that would be customized and be a complete surprise. After a short phone chat about size, flavor and themes (daughter is an avid photographer and devoted journal keeper), Miriam worked her magic to produce a "picture perfect" creation. It was so delightful that I could tell Jen was touched. In fact, she mentioned more than once "this is the only thing I wanted for my birthday. . .one of Miriam's cakes". Made me so happy to know that. Everything was flawless, from the scrumptious chocolate cake and beautiful icing down to the meticulous details of the f-stops. It was not a party, but the Sweet Vanilla Bake Shop cake turned out to be a wonderful substitute. THANK YOU, MIRIAM !!! read more

I've never seen such attention to every little detail, plus the cake was as delicious as it was gorgeous (my daughter proclaimed it too beautiful to cut into!). An added bonus was Midelivered it to our door while honoring social distancing guidelines. How I didn't know about Miriam and Sweet Vanilla Bake Shop before last week is a mystery. We will definitely be back for other sweet treats! read more

Sweet Vanilla Bake Shop surprised and delighted my kids with "1/2 birthday" celebration cakes. Each child had a personalized half of a cake. (In the era of Covid-19 I'm admittedly reaching for occasions to celebrate). The cakes were adorable (narwhal did my daughter, dinosaur for my son). The real test was husband who is not a cake eater. He took his obligatory bite ... and then went back and cut a gigantic slice!! Thank you for helping us make sweet memories :) read more
