    These worth $64? Even the desserts in Ralph's are better than these!
    Yining Z.

    Do NOT book! I ordered one dozen cake pops and two dozen dessert shooters for my wedding. The desserts themselves looks so bad, not as the picture posted on yelp at all! What is worse! I asked her to deliver at 3:30pm on August 24. But I cannot contact her until 7pm! I called her so many times! But she always tell me she is on the way. The desserts delayed almost 4 hours! All of my guests arrive at 5pm! She said she was busy with so many other events on my wedding day. I guess that is the reason why my desserts look so bad and also it is the reason for delay. Not recommend at all! She is so irresponsible!

    It doesn't make me happy to give a bad review, but I was so disappointed that I felt compelled to leave this review even though it's been 2 years. I hired Heather to bake a cake as a surprise for my sister's baby shower. The following are the major issues: 1. We did not receive a single compliment on the appearance or taste of the cake, but several people did mention that the frosting was difficult to eat and tasted like rubber. The whole bottom portion of the cake was left uneaten. 2. The appearance of the cake was very unprofessional and looked nothing like the sample photo she sent me to quote the price. It was missing baby shoes, pink ribbons and beads, and baby block designs. The cake also had oddly colored and placed polka dots. 3. Heather told us to come no later than 1pm to pick up cake, we came at 12:45pm and had to wait in the hot car for 40 mins while she did a rush job on the cake. Worst of all, even after I brought all these concerns to Heather's attention she refused a partial discount, but rather offered me $20 towards her services in the future, which of course I declined.

    Chocolate covered strawberries
    Tereza M.

    Absolutely loved these!! Very sweet, called back right away and delivered with kindness. Thank you so much! Will be ordering again

    Amazing customer service, delicious cake and fast! Heather went above and beyond to celebrate the combo Birthday Cake-Album drop for our USC Senior. She even added plates, napkins and forks for this hungry group of Resident Advisors! Will definitely order online again from Nebraska. Catherine K

    Do not book!!!!!!! She showed up when my wedding was over with the desserts I ordered and only showed up with half of the desserts. Not to mention they all looked store bought. Spend the extra money on an actual professional, don't book the sweet life. Update: posted a bad review previously, she called me apologizing and offered to provide desserts for another event for free. I agreed, never showed up and never responded to any of my messages. There you have it.

    Everything was perfect from the outside designs and details to the taste, everyone loved the cake pops, and strawberries! I highly recommend ordering with her I will definitely be ordering again and the customer service was great

    Delicious and so so pretty! Great customer service. The guests were in awe of the beautiful desserts. Thank you so much! would definitely recommend and book again :)

    Another view...beautiful presentation

    I needed a box of chocolate covered strawberries as part of a 20th anniversary gift and was struggling to find a place open after 5pm. I hit the jackpot with The Sweet Life! She created a beautiful box in no time at all and it was the perfect compliment to my bottle of wine. The place was a little hard to find, but definitely worth the trip. Plus, it feels good to support small, local businesses. I'll be back!

    Dessert Bar for Wedding
    Lia L.

    Absolutely loved my dessert bar for my wedding. Heather did an amazing job. It was set up beautifully. I was lucky enough to try a cake pop which was yummy. The bar did not last long. The table was completely cleared shortly after it opened around dinner time. So I think it's safe to assume the rest of the desserts were delicious! The best part is Heather's prices are very reasonable. I had a budget and she was able to work with it and did an amazing job.

I wish I can give more stars cause this lady's amazing and talented! Red velvet are to die for best I've ever had!

    Pamper Party treats
    Aja D.

    I have ordered 3 times with the last year and everything tastes good and looks good. It is easy to contact Heather and pick up. I heard she even delivers so I will probably use that option for my next event. I have ordered aFORTNITE cake, POLISH AND PAMPER party theme treats and Thanksgiving desserts (cheesecake and lemon icebox pie).

    Shadi S.

    Heather's desserts are amazing!! I had a baby shower last year and she custom designed the most beautiful cake pops, cookies, and dessert shooters. They were absolutely delicious. Everyone at my shower kept asking about them. The only mistake I made was not ordering more! The Now it's time for my daughter's first birthday and I'm ordering from her once again. I highly recommend this place!

I rolled the dice on the Good Cake Company for a very, very, very important occasion--my grandbaby's second birthday. Here's the wild part: I'd never tasted her cakes! The day I placed the order, I was on day three of a five‑day fast. No samples. No safety net. Just and--if I'm being honest--a little prayer. If you're short on time, I'll get straight to it: her cakes are exceptional! Now, if you're still reading, here's what truly sets them apart: you actually get cake! I am DONE paying top dollar only to slice into a cake that's mostly buttercream and crumbly cake. (I really want to name names! I am thinking of two very "popular" bakeries that are all hype and marketing. ugh) The cake was fabulous--perfectly moist, NOT TOO SWEET, yet sturdy enough to support a generous layer of high‑quality cream cheese frosting in the middle and buttercream on top. My daughter doesn't even like cake. She loved this one. I love this pastry chef--her spirit, her craftsmanship, her product. I'm already looking forward to ordering again. So run--do not walk--to this bake shop. She has a customer for life.

    Our cake came out great. Received excellent service and exactly what I asked for. The look and…read moretaste were a great quality and will definitely go back for another custom cake or some other treats. Give this place a try you will not be disappointed.

The selection is great and the place is really popular. They sell tons of pan dulce, tres leches cakes, flans, and tamales, etc. Even champurrado. I tried their Empanada de Piña (pineapple empanada or turnover) and it was disappointing. Empanadas de Piña are my favorite pan dulce. It looks beautiful from the outside but I did not really like the filling. The bread is ok but the filling isn't that great. The filling color isn't right. It's too yellow. The flavor isn't right. The champurrado wasn't very good either. Too thin and not very chocolatey. They are in a huge parking lot.
