    Happy Birthday Cake - We added the candles and my moms favorite candy bars onto. It was beautiful

    Amy was a delight to work with and quick to respond. We made a last minute order (called a day before we needed it) and were SO grateful she was able to squeeze us in. We ordered the raspberry cream cheese cake for my mother's birthday! The cake was moist and delicious. And the filling, was incredible, my sister wanted a bowl of just filling. Amy will be our go to baker for future celebrations.

    The cake was DELICIOUS! What more can I say? Here's a photo. It was beautiful as well. Lonielle needed very little direction or communication from me. We booked her almost a year before the wedding and we checked in once or twice. She showed up the day of the wedding with a gorgeous naked cake exactly as I described ("naked, but not too naked, you know?"). She nailed it. PS - if you love coconut go with her coconut cream frosting. I plan to order from her again just to eat that frosting - as soon as I can come up with a good excuse!

    My wedding cake that was designed by The Cakery. It was breathtaking! A work of art!

    Long overdue post but I wanted to give credit where credit is due. I wrote this post on 04/25/14 but forgot to post it. Found it on my phone in the "NotePad" app. I was married on 02/22/14. My wedding cake was BEAUTIFUL! I decided to go with the Cakery after my chef recommended them. Out of all my wedding vendor appointments, this was by far my favorite. They had a great variety to choose from. Definitely not your average choices. After tasting the many different selections, we decided to go with 2 different flavors: white cake with a raspberry marmalade and salted caramel buttercream, as well as devil's food cake with the white cake with raspberry marmalade and salted caramel cream filling was a play on peanut butter and jelly. Since it was so different and tasted exactly like it, we thought it would be perfect for us and our guests. The devil's food cake was the other choice for obvious reasons: we wanted to cater to chocolate lovers! As far as the artistry on the cake, we chose one of their designs that was classic. We chose the Dogwoods cake. It is featured in their cake gallery online. It is simply beautiful! 3 layers of off-white buttercream frosting, with cascading peach-colored handcrafted flowers and blue berries. It was so pretty! When I walked into my venue, they showcased the wedding cake in the center of the dance floor for all to admire as they walked to their seats. I also paid for lighting, with a pinspot on the cake which added a dramatic spotlight. It was so worth it. I had a gelato bar so everyone was able to enjoy their cake with "ice cream"! It was perfect and everything I had hoped for. Thank you, The Cakery, for a deliciously beautiful work of art!

    Am changing my review because I believe you'll do better. Regardless of the past, I want to support local business. Good luck!

    Once we picked the cake flavor out, we showed Lonielle our little pinterest photo of a baseball themed cake.

    A Sweet Experience…read more.. My wife had a milestone birthday approaching and I wanted to get a special cake for her party with friends and family. After reading lots of reviews on Yelp, I called Pam at PK's Cakes. We were not disappointed. Ratings: - Overall: 5 - Ease of Ordering: 5 - Cake Selection: 5 - Customization: 5 - Day of Pick-Up: 5 - Crowd Reaction: 5 - Price: 4 - Value: 5 - Ease of Ordering: Simple. I called Pam, explained the situation and what my wife liked. Pam asked several follow-up questions before we settled on ingredients, appearance and arrangements to get the cake at her house in Arroyo Grande (closer to Cypress Ridge than the village part of AG). She bakes everything in her kitchen. - Cake Selection: Huge. Pam is a cake artist so the choice is basically limited by your imagination and her suggestions. - Customization: Almost anything. We got a 7 inch round layer cake meant to serve 15 people. My wife called it "an artistic version of strawberry shortcake" which is just what she wanted. The top had a yellow rose with sage green leaves and baby's breath sugar flowers. Since her main hobby is ceramics, Pam suggested adding 2 sculpted pots on the side (check out the photo). - Day of Pick-Up: Easy. I ordered this cake 9 days before the expected pick-up which was one day before the party. Pam had it ready-to-go on a strong cake board in a nice, large, sturdy box and helped me find the safest place in my car for the 10 minute drive home. I kept it in that box in our refrigerator at home. - Crowd Reaction: Great. Typical comments were..."what a fine looking cake" and "it tastes so good without being too sweet". - Price: Not cheap. Remember...this is a highly customized cake literally created by a baking artist. Our cake was $175 plus $50 for the hand-carved decorations. - Value: Excellent. We got just what we paid for. No complaints. In addition to the cake, Pam was very easy to work with. A real sweetheart.

    Thank you Pam for working with me and for the partial refund on the cake. Appreciate your gesture…read moreand explanation of what went wrong. I wish you the best in your business!

    ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!…read more Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU, Sweet Baking Co.! Where do I even begin? I'm new to town, and let's just say I have a bit of a sweet tooth. When I first arrived in Lompoc, I found a few places to grab dessert, but nothing really stood out--until I discovered Sweet Baking Co. The moment I walked in, I knew I had found my new favorite spot. While I'm living in this lovely little town, I can honestly say I'll be stopping by at least once a week! The desserts are incredible. Tiramisu cupcakes?! What?! I thought I had died and gone to heaven. Every single thing I've tried has been delicious. The frosting is perfectly balanced--not overly sweet--and the fillings are rich, flavorful, and absolutely amazing. You can tell that every item is made with care and creativity. The flavor combinations are unique, thoughtful, and beautifully executed. And then there are the drinks. Oh. My. Goodness. The Ube Horchata is one of the best specialty drinks I've ever had. It tastes every bit as amazing as it looks! What makes this place even more special, though, is the family behind it. They are some of the kindest people you could hope to meet. I work at a local Title I Special Education preschool, and they generously donated to our preschool graduation celebration. That meant so much to our students, families, and staff. It's rare to find a business that not only offers such a high-quality product but also genuinely gives back to its community. Sweet Baking Co. has earned a customer for life. Delicious treats, beautiful drinks, wonderful people, and a heart for the community--what more could you ask for? Thank you again! I'll be back in town in July, and you can bet I'll be stopping by. See you soon!

    We had a wonderful (and delicious) cake tasting experience with Room for Cake! What we loved was…read morethat you can choose any four styles of cakes from their list of signature cakes or build your own custom one! We went with lemon blueberry, lemon olive oil, coconut cake, and a custom one of banana cake with mocha buttercream and toffee bits! Coconut cake with passion fruit cream and toasted coconut was our favorite, with the tartness of the passion fruit cream and the wonderful texture of the toasted coconut. While ultimately we didn't select Room for Cake for our wedding cake, we thought it was a great experience regardless. Communication with Lauren and pickup was very easy. Her kitchen is located in a converted seminary which is located near the old mission, so driving into the property was a cool experience itself.

    Laurie at Room for Cake is AMAZING! We hired her to create a completely custom cake for our wedding…read moreand I am so, so glad we did. Laurie was extremely communicative and fast at responding throughout the whole process, which was almost a year from the day I first reached out to our wedding day. We made several changes along the way, and Laurie rolled with the punches and always said 'yes' no matter how complicated or complex the request was. I sent her an inspiration photo from Pinterest and she made our dream cake come true. She even accommodated putting on two cake toppers and florals! We received so many compliments on our cake and our guests were blown away with the quality of the taste but also the presentation and design. Laurie is a magician and I cannot thank her enough for agreeing to work with us on our cake. It turned out better than we could have ever imagined - the pictures speak for themselves! You will not regret hiring Laurie!! Seriously, just do it!
