    Winnie the Pooh Dessert Table
    Bunnie P.

    Amanda baked beautiful custom cookies, gender reveal cupcakes, cake pops and rice krispy treats for our baby shower celebration. She was easy to work with, timely, responsive, communicated well and delivered our vision in the Winnie the Pooh theme. I will absolutely be back for all of our parties!

    I can't say enough about the incredible custom cake made for my birthday! From the moment I saw it, I was blown away--it was an absolute masterpiece, designed to look like my favorite spicy margarita. Every little detail was spot on, from the lime garnish to the salt-rim effect. It wasn't just a cake; it was a work of art! But the real magic? The taste. The cake was incredibly moist, perfectly balanced in flavor, and had just the right amount of sweetness like a true red velvet cake should. Every bite was pure bliss, with layers that melted in my mouth. It was the kind of cake that had everyone at the party talking, not just about how stunning it looked, but how delicious it was. If you're looking for a baker who can bring your vision to life AND deliver on taste, this is it. I'll definitely be ordering again for future celebrations! New review! I am writing a second review because one doesn't do her talent justice. For my birthday, she created the most incredible spicy margarita cake -- it looked so real, people thought I was at a restaurant and asked where to get that giant drink! Then we cut into it and found a red velvet interior resembling a watermelon, nodding to my other passion--playful, unexpected, and absolutely genius. Beyond stunning, it was rich, moist, and delicious. If you can dream it, she'll turn it into cake -- true next-level creativity.

    I placed an order for a custom cake super last minute. Amanda went above and beyond to accommodate me and give me what I wanted with the time frame she was given. The cake was absolutely beautiful and exactly what I wanted. She made my vision come to my life ! I ended up placing another order almost at the same time as the 1st order. The cake also came out exactly as I imagined. My husband was soooo impressed and shocked !!! He loved it !!! Amanda is so kind and just a pleasure to work with. I will definitely be ordering again! Thanks for everything! :)

    Amanda was amazing! She responded quickly and helped me with design and flavor options for a retirement cake. Taste was amazing & she made the transaction quick & easy. Plus her Design was great! Thank you again.

    Late review but Amanda made my son an awesome themed pirate cake. I saw one on Yelp she made a ways back and wanted something similiar. Emailed her with my ideas and made a deposit. Cake was ready on time and I picked it up from her house. I would definitely go back. Thanks.

    We loved it!! Amanda was super helpful and didn't have much time to make this amazing cake but knocked it out of the park! After calling around to a dozen bakeries who wouldn't do the fondant pieces I wanted Amanda swooped in and saved the day! Thank you so much!!

    Amanda is very professional all throughout the transaction/conversation. She gave me an expert opinion on the cake/colors I wanted and has shown me genuine concern as to what the flavor of the cake the celebrant prefers. The design is superb, detailed and unique. The price is VERY REASONABLE. And the taste of the cake-it's not your regular cake shop. It is not too sweet and is just moistened enough. It's better than any other cakeshop I've tried. I wouldn't be surprised if anytime soon she'll take over the cake world!

    AMAZING CAKES! My daughter has an egg allergy so I ordered a vegan Disneyland themed cake and it tasted AMAZING, you couldn't even notice the difference.

    Funfetti unicorn cupcakes.

    Absolutely amazing pastries. I ordered cupcakes for my daughter's 3rd birthday and they were not only beautiful and exactly the design my little one wanted, but delicious. She was a big hit with her classmates at school.

    Amanda was so helpful and professional and the cake turned out perfect! I sent her a video of a cake my wife liked and asked her if she could make something like that. Not only was she able to meet my somewhat short timeline, but she make a cake even more beautiful than the one I showed her. The attention to detail was impeccable and the overall look of the cake was spot on. My wife absolutely loved it and don't even get me started on the taste! It was a delicious buttercream cake with strawberry filling and a hint of cinnamon that kind of reminded me of carrot cake. It was so delicious and so beautiful! I would absolutely recommend Amanda and the Pin-up Kitchen to anyone looking for a beautiful tasty custom cake.

    This Ube cake was very beautiful. The flavor is amazing. Ube is very rarely this flavorful!! And the cake feeds a lot more people than it appears

    Ordered a cake from Amanda and everything was good up until the week of the pick up date. There was no communication on her end, so I reached out to confirm the order and pick up. I even called her because the day before pick up, she was not in any communication. The cake was a disaster, it did not survive a 20 minute car ride. It was a 2 layer cake and the top layer started sliding and collapsed. This was my sons first birthday so I was frantic. When I reached out to her with a photo, she said, 'oh this can be fixed with some buttercream' ?!??????!!! Am I baker? Do I know how to do this? NOT AT ALL. When I reached out to her after the party, she blamed the transportation for the cake not getting there in one piece. I've never heard a cake doing this while someone is holding onto it in a car. Never offered any compensation or even another cake so that my son could have his proper first birthday. All she could say was, I worked hard on it too and this upsets me too. OKAYYYYY, that's a $400 response. I love supporting small businesses. But look at the customer service and professionalism. This was a definitely a mistake.

    I had big dreams for my wedding. I wanted a 1920's Great Gatsby wedding and I had everything planned to the T. One of the easiest and best experiences I had with a vendor was with The Pin-Up Kitchen. From the start Amanda was quick to reply, very thorough and very nice. I spoke to her for the first time in 2019 when I started planning my wedding. We set a date for 2020 and unfortunately, Covid restrictions forced us to postpone and Amanda made sure that a year from then, we would be taken care of. At the time when I was to book the cake sampling appointment, I got Covid. Amanda went out of her way, made the 5 samples, portioned them in beautiful mason jars and allowed for my assistant to pick them up from her. It was very difficult to choose which one we wanted because all of them were delicious. It took us days to decide, sampling a little bit each day until we made a decision. We went with the lemon cake with the lemon filling and boy are we glad we did. It was a hit. On the day of the wedding upon seeing the cake, everybody was in awe at how majestic and beautiful it came out. 4 tiers of pure gorgeousness and the tastiest cake ever. People were literally going back for 2nds and 3rd's. I made sure to save the top tier for my husband and I to share on our first wedding anniversary. The cake was in the freezer for most of that year until we purchased a home in another state. There were many discussions on how we would get it there. We decided to keep in it a cooler with dry ice and it withstood not only the test of time, but a 32-hour drive to Texas in the summer. On October 30, we finally got to eat our anniversary piece and it was just as delicious as the day of our wedding. Just as pretty too. Amanda was a joy to work with. She knew her assignment and she truly knocked it out of the park. I highly, HIGHLY recommend hiring her for ALL your custom cake needs.

White chocolate raspberry (cutie pie), 4. marionberry (nicely tart, full of berries but a bit dry, went well with ice cream), 5. whiskey peach (too much crust, not enough peach, not very peachy). The shop has some seating but I only saw one group seated once. I always took my pies home to enjoy. There is plenty of street parking (metered, 15 min free), and here is a parking structure around the back of the block (2 hours free).

Nonna has become our go to bakery, our sweet retreat, and one of our favorite local brunch spots. Now, they even have happy hour and, during the summer, dinner (Nonna Summer Nights)! And all of the food is amazing. Seriously, truly legit! We buy bread from there each week. No more "big box store" bread you freeze. They make their bread fresh daily. They only use fresh, locally sourced ingredients with no preservatives. It's nice to look at an ingredient list and not see a paragraph for bread (and be able to pronounce all the names!). And their cupcakes and sweets. Yo, seriously so good. And the thing is, because of the ingredients they use, we don't feel heavy or overly wired after eating cake or cupcakes from them. From other places you can tell they use preservatives, refined sugars, processed ingredients. But with Nonna, you can just taste the difference. We even had them make our special cake for our wedding! We recently tried their dinner (twice!) and it exceeded expectations. Now, mind you, all of their food has always been good but our experience was amazing. Their prix fixe menu was well put together, wine pairings on point, dessert was also delicious. Our favorite was the tiramisu! Also loved the spaghattini and casarecce pastas, and entrecôte di manzo, but everything was great. Their brunch is also great, you really can't go wrong on the menu. And I think we've gone through almost all of it! Finally, (if you've stayed with me this long!) the absolute best thing about Nonna for us is the TEAM. Hands down no question. The food is good, space is a comfortable neighborhood vibe, and all that. But truly the folks here are amazing humans. Always friendly, warm, and welcoming. If the management team is reading this, you all have a great group of people there! We will definitely be back (again and again and again) and you should too!

My qualm about Nonna's is this: Baked goods already purchased cannot be eaten at dining table. So with that said, you're eating Baked Eggs with 2 small slices of bread that is not enough...and they will not let you grab a piece of bread you just bought at their bakery to dip into the egg sauce. WTH is that logic???? Honestly, not cool. And their bread is HELLA EXPENSIVE. If I'm going to buy your expensive bread and pay to sit at your table, WHY CANT I EAT THE BREAD I JUST BOUGHT? Makes no sense!! So now I make my own Baked Eggs and my own bread. I can eat as much as I want. 4/5 for Baked Eggs 1/5 for their bakery policy
