Cakery is DELICIOUS... did I say Delicious? =) Definitely a good wedding cake vendor. I'd have to say many other weddings we've attended before, the cake was just so so... we even made a special announcement to our guests that the cake is from a wonderful French bakery and it's definitely worth eating.

Let me begin by saying, the cake was included with our package from our venue and Bijan's fondant is the best you will ever taste! The cake ended up being beautiful and Mitra is absolutely amazing to work with but there were some aspects I was not happy with. Bijan was really late to our scheduled planning meeting and I didn't get much time to talk with him which may have resulted in some of my dissatisfaction with the cake. The cake was a 4 hexagonal tier cake with flowers in between each layer. 2 of the tiers had piping on them that were supposed to mimic our invitations. The piping wouldn't have resembled the invitations even if you were drunk. I was really disappointed in the quality of the piping. It was smeared and didn't appear to have any real design. Other than the piping, I thought the cake was amazing and many guests told us it was one of the most beautiful they had ever seen.

I have been ordering my cakes from Bijan for over 10 years. When it was time to order my wedding cake, Bijan went above and beyond and really delivered a beautiful cake, that tasted amazing, at a great price. Highlights of my cake:
**5-Tier cake for 300 people - Each layer was a different flavor. Bijan provided more than 10 different cakes for my cake tasting. He made great recommendations for which flavors he recommends. Princes Cake with fresh strawberries is everyone's favorite.
**Decor - My wedding colors were Fuschia and Gold. Bijan executed a beautiful cake that synchronized with my decor. He coordinated with my Florist to use the same flowers on the cake. He even added some crystals to the cake and flowers, which really made it special.
**Service - I met with Bijan three times, and he always made himself available to meet when I called. He's been making wedding cakes for years, so I was confident in giving my wedding cake to a bakery who's been in the business and makes the best tasting cakes around.

The cake was tasty and everyone enjoyed it very much. I even stopped to have a piece and it was quite good.

I was disappointed that the color of the cake did not turn out even close to what we had asked for or expected. That said, it still looked good to anyone who didn't know it was supposed to be a darker blue and not off-white.

I also had to leave a couple of messages before getting the appointment to do a tasting. This normally would have turned me off from using them, but a family member had used them several times and raved about them (and they were gifting the cake to us as well).

Bijan Bakery is the best in Northern California! Our wedding cake was the most beautiful cake I could have ever imagined! Your cake will be at no cost if you book The Villa Ragusa in Campbell as your reception venue! I paid an additional amount to add all the bells & whistles and it was soooooo worth it!!! Thanks Bijan & Marika!!!

My cake was beautiful.. however, they got mixed up and somehow made mine sage green instead of ivory. We had taken a list of what exactly I wanted with pictures, and other than the cake itself and the flowers, it was wrong. Really, really good though. They felt horrible and apologized, but unfortunately there wasn't really anything that could be done. They are amazingly flexible; I wanted a 3 tier cake for 75 people so they made the layers a bit shorter to get that out of it since a regular 3 tier cake would normally serve between 90 & 100 people.

Where do I start....Bijan met with us for our pre-wedding consultation.....the cakes tasted sooooooooo good we couldn’t stop complimenting him on his cakes! Not only so the tastes devine but he allows you to bring in any picture and he will recreate it! If that isn’t enough he provides his own flower design so ladies you don’t need to pay your florist for that! Even after the wedding I will continue to enjoy his bakery...I have found a gem and will not shop for other bakeries :0)

What an extroardinary cake! My husband and I didnt want a circle cake and this is one of the few places that will make layered squared tiered cakes. We got to pick colors, textures and different patterns to put on our creation. The cake tasting was amazing and the day of the event all we got were compliments on the look, taste and presentation. The prices were so reasonable and everything about it we loved. I would recommend them to anyone and if I ever need to have a cake in the future for anything, Bijan will be my choice.

This bakery has really good tasting cakes, and our wedding cake was so beautiful. Exactly what we had asked for. Unfortunately, the grooms cake that I ordered as a surprise to my groom was horrible. Didn't look anything like the photos I provided. The price I paid for the grooms cake was NOT worth it.

Even though this would not have been where I ordered my cake for my wedding if I had the choice (it was a mandatory vendor based on the site I booked), the cake was very good. I personally do not love the fruit cakes so much (ie., Strawberry mousse, mango mousse, etc.) but everyone told me the cake looked and tasted delicious. I have to agree the cake was gorgeous and even though they did charge an extra fee because of the style I wanted, it came out stunning and I couldn't say anything bad about it!
Also, I was so stressed before my wedding that I flaked on the last meeting we had planned and the woman working with me was so nice about it. She had called to confirm and I still forgot. When I called her back, she joked with me and had a good attitude and we rescheduled right away. So all in all I would recommend this place for your wedding cake!

This was the thing I was the most upset about at our wedding.

From the get go they were inflexible about my request for gold frosting accents on the cake and assured me it was California law and that I would not find another bakery willing to do this. I later found out this was not true.

Right before our wedding, our venue coordinator asked if I would switch to another bakery because of their inflexibility. They had already found someone who was available on our day and willing to meet with us. I readily agreed, not wanting things to go badly. When we switched and our coordinator tried to cancel, Bijan bakery threatened to sue our coordinator and made a scene. While at work, I had to call and smooth things over and figure out what the problem was-as we were not asking for our deposit back and had every right to cancel. In the process, I agreed to meet with him once more and figure out if he could do what we requested originally-gold frosting accents. This time he agreed and assured me he could do whatever I had asked for and agreed to the picture I gave him.

I had asked for a red cake with gold frosting accents-it was NOT red and all the guests agreed it looked pink. In addition it looked nothing like the photo I took in, which he assured me he could do. It looked completely ameteur. If I would have known it was going to be such a disaster, I would have gone somewhere else or asked for something that they had done before. I am still upset about it to this day and thus would never recommend them.

My cake looked fine and tasted okay but I felt the cake was extremely overpriced and they were very inflexible about design. I felt nickled and dimed.

Bijan bakery makes one of the best versions of my favorite dessert, Tiramisu! It was so fantastic that they could make the traditional Italian dessert into a cake for our wedding.
