I was just starting to search where to find some nice cupcakes for my hubby's birthday when I saw…read moreLaurel T's review for Smallcakes. It was just what I had in mind- to get a variety of a dozen and have one be the birthday cake. I called to place an order in advance and Kaitlyn told me I could just go into the store and pick the ones I want. I wasn't sure if she would have that many selections upon entering the store but she did! They offered awesome deals. If you buy a dozen for $62, you'd get two extra complimentary cupcakes and I got an extra pupcake for purchasing 2 at $1.99 each! I appreciated that Laurel noted this place is dog friendly. I had Ocean with me and Kaitlyn was so welcoming and sweet to her. She gave me a small tray to serve Ocean a pupcake with and Ocean inhaled it in one bite! I also didn't realize the paper was still on it. Whoops! Ocean did not seem to mind and loved the carrot cake and peanut butter frosting. They are baked daily so it's recommended that they be refrigerated if you'd like to keep them for a few days. As for the human cupcakes, we got: Birthday Cake Wedding Cake Chocolate Dream Choco Biscoff Sunny Carrot Peanut Butter Cup Hot Fudge Sundae Salted Caramel Crunch Chocolate Cream Cookies n Cream Strawberry Lemon Red Velvet Pink Vanilla I got to try the Birthday Cake, Wedding Cake, Pink Vanilla and Hot Fudge Sundae. I thought they were going to be on the lighter, less sweet side because it's Asian owned, but the frosting is on the sweeter, heavier side. The cakes are moist and sweet as well. I especially liked the birthday cake with confetti in it and sprinkles. They are big and well worth the $! Super cute inside too!

I ordered a cake for my mom's 70th birthday from JoJo Cakes!!! I found a cake design online that I…read moresent to them - they told me they wouldn't be able to match it exactly but would come close! Let me just say it was EXACTLY like the one I sent them! It was beautiful! All of the party guests commented on how good the cake was - a few saying it was the best they had ever tasted! Thank you for helping to make my mom's party such a success!

I really have no words with the amount she is now deciding to charge. I've hired her for a cake in…read morethe past. Although not yummy it was beautiful. However, I just requested to have a two tier cake made and she is charging $525 for a two tier cake with no flowers serving 50 people. That's $10.50 per slice while the national average on stacked cakes are $5 per slice! Save your money for other party expenses and get a pretty cake elsewhere. This is also considering she is making cakes from an industrial window producing business not from a legit bakery. Update: I sent a picture of this cake to another bakery that I had ordered from before and was charged $210. How mind blowing. The greed is strong with this one.

The staff are humble and exceedingly friendly which is becoming more and more rare as prices in the OC soar beyond tolerable levels. However if you have a few extra dollars in your pocket, spend them on the lovely chocolate or raspberry cream walnut croissants at this place. Airy and light but flavorful bundles of joy! I also ordered the delectable chocolate cake, which was not too sweet. 4 layers of cake and filling. You can actually taste the chocolate in the light layers. One can still imagine the affection imbued into their baked goods as you enjoy them. Unlike many of the others nearby who have crossed into "it's just a business" mentality. Run don't walk to this hidden gem! I will definitely be a repeat visitor.

Chocolate Mousse Cake had excellent taste and was beautifully presented. Hoping to stop by soon at their location and try some more delicious looking desserts.

Despite delivering all the way from Huntington Beach, the cake arrived in perfect condition. Bani worked seamlessly with our florist on-site, expertly decorating the tiers with the fresh florals provided. The texture was exactly what you hope for: light, moist, and served at the perfect temperature. Our guests haven't stopped commenting on how gorgeous the cake was and how delicious it was! Bani also made the cake for our engagement party, and after two flawless experiences, she is officially our go-to baker. Highly recommended for any special event!

I am back at SusieCakes, Costa Mesa during Mother's Day weekend 2026. Their cakes and staff did not…read moredisappoint! They were busy with a lot of Mother's Day weekend rush, but the staff was friendly to everyone with big smiles and they were moving the line along as quickly as possible. I picked up my usual favorite slices: Carrot Cake Slice ($8.49), Tropical Coconut Slice ($8.99), and Old-Fashioned Chocolate Slice ($8.99). They were moist and delicious! Sometimes, the Tropical Coconut can be slightly dry, but it was perfectly moist when I had it this past weekend. They had a really cute May 4th Grogu cake on display and I just think that they not only make delicious cakes, but their cake decorating skills are on point! SusieCakes is worth the splurge!

After waiting for someone to help me, I walk up to the counter and ask if it was possible to pick up a cake that I ordered. The result was the male sales representative with a beard rolling their eyes and yelling at me - what's the last name! I'm positive Mothers Day is a very busy day for you all, but no one should be on the receiving end of that type of sass from anyone, especially after paying close to $100 for a 6" inch cake. It definitely killed the excitement for the gender reveal with this cake tainted with attitude.

Beautiful cake and excellent customer service!…read more Found Holly here on Yelp and she made it on my daughter's top 10 list...which quickly went to 5 then finally top 3 LOL. My daughter chose Holly because of her personality, better tasting cake samples and how Holly was willing to go above and beyond to design the cake. First, I would like to thank her for her patience and professionalism. She dealt with my daughter who is high maintenance with no filter...so sorry Holly *nervous laughing* Holly offers cake tasting but there is a fee. She has standard and premium cake flavors, frosting flavors, and filling flavors to choose from. Highly recommend cake flavors: Chocolate, vanilla & marble Highly recommend filling flavors: Raspberry puree, strawberry puree & chocolate buttercream She does NOT provide flowers so please ask your florist for flowers. Holly provides a sketch for the design before baking and the cake turned out exactly like the sketch. My daughter loved the cake and got exactly what she wanted...she got her cake & ate it too haha Thank you again Holly!

I usually order cakes from this place for birthdays ,  either for my friends or my friends' kids,…read more and I've been pretty happy with them. The cakes always look really beautiful. I like the colors and the way they decorate very eye catching and perfect for celebrations. Taste wise, it's good too, not overly sweet, which I personally like, and guests usually enjoy it. I've been ordering from them for years now, mostly for birthdays, bridal showers, and small celebrations. The price is a bit on the higher side compared to other bakeries nearby, but for the presentation and taste, I think it's still worth it. One thing I don't love is that sometimes when I place a custom order, the final cake doesn't come out exactly how I requested. It's not bad, just not 100% what I had in mind. Parking in this area can also be a bit of a hassle since it gets pretty busy, so just plan a little extra time when you come pick up your order.

One of the best chocolate cakes I've ever had. AND I LOVE CHOCOLATE CAKE…read more The cake was incredibly well balanced. It's very easy to make frosting too sweet, but the sugar levels in everything was just right! The cake had a lovely crumb and was moist on the inside. There was a deep, dark chocolate flavor. Sometimes with chocolate cake, the cake can be too rich and fudgy, but this cake did not have this problem. It was such an addicting cake and I could not stop myself from continuing to eat it. Again, it was well balanced, flavorful, had a good mouthfeel, and not too sweet. PERFECTION! Additionally, the party was a space themed party so we asked for a space-themed cake and the cake was SO CUTE. If I need cake for an event again, I will definitely order from here. And I will definitely be ordering the chocolate cake again!!!
