    Married 11-10-18

    Best cake ever!

    First off, I’m not much of a cake person, especially lemon flavor... but this lemon cake was THEE most AMAZING cake I’ve EVER HAD!!!! And not just the lemon! Every flavor we tasted to pick our wedding cake was positively DELICIOUS!!!! And while the deliciousness of the cake was definitely a huge factor in why we chose this bakery, the overall cake tasting experience was truly amazing. The owner did an awesome job, made us feel comfortable, let us try a bunch of samples, and let the cake speak for itself. This was the first place we went to on our wedding cake journey and walking out of the shop we knew right away, that was going to be our wedding cake. We ended up choosing lemon, marble, and red velvet as our three wedding cake tiers and surprisingly enough, LEMON was the flavor I decided to have as the main tier that my husband and I would cut at the reception... and we couldn’t wait to eat the cake!!! Now our 1 year anniversary is coming up and when it came time to think about an anniversary cake, hands down, it HAD to be Simply Cakes Etc Bakery! And I’m not just saying this. I live in Long Beach; the cake shop is in Jurupa Valley (56 miles away!) There are PLENTY of amazing cake shops and bakeries near my house, but no, I drove 56 miles (1 and a half hours with very little traffic) to go to this specific shop to order our 1-year anniversary cake and I couldn’t be happier! We are so excited to take a bite of the lemon cake on our anniversary! And again, I don’t even like cake that much—I’m an ice cream girl—but seriously...BEST CAKE IN THE WORLD!!!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

    Most memorable

    Simply Cakes did an amazing job for my wedding. I had a 3 tier cake with 3 different flavors. The Raspberry Swirl flavor was a big hit. I even had guests fly back to the east coast looking to for bakers to replicate the flavor to no avail.
    I loved the design of the cake and especially liked how Simply Cakes made my vision come to life. I look forward to becoming a long time customer ☺️.

    We attended a bridal expo and simply cakes ect. Was there letting us view and sample their cakes so we knew instantly who were we’re going to book to make our cake. The cake tasting to follow was so easy and everyone there was so helpful and nice to us. We absolutely loved our cake for our wedding not only was it beautiful and simplistic but it was so delicious. Thankyou again simply cakes ect for making our dream wedding cake.

    Simply Cakes Etc... Bakery was the only bake shop I went to. The rating was great for them. I went in and showed a picture of what I was thinking for my wedding cake and they promised me that they could do it. They also were able to make a cute cake topper with the letters for me (one less thing to stress about). We went for a cake testing, which was great, and decided on flavors. They offer a delivery service to locations (another thing to not have to stress about) which was great. My wedding cake was perfect and everything I asked for. Thanks Simply Cakes!

    We found this bakery while at a wedding expo at the Mission Inn. They had by far the best tasting cake (and that's saying something because there were other outstanding bakeries there as well). However, we really put them to the test when we described what kind of cake we wanted from them. We had an Alice in Wonderland theme, and this required them to produce a unique "Mad Hatter-ish" cake that would be suitable for a wedding. During our consultation, we described what we were looking for. The baker, Jennifer, drew up a sketch of what she envisioned for our wedding. We loved her ideas, and we were wondering if she could really pull it off.

    After we left the consultation, we didn't have to worry about the cake again until the day of the wedding. Truthfully, in all the hectic details of preparing for a wedding, we had almost forgotten to check back in with the bakery to make sure everything was going well. I can't tell you how much of a relief it is when a vendor is on top of the ball without any additional oversight. Sure enough, they had it covered and the cake showed up on our wedding day on time. Man, I wish I could leave a photo of the cake they made. It was the talk of the wedding. It was absolutely phenomenal, and worth every penny. We both highly recommend Simply Cakes. They will deliver a high quality product that is affordable, creative, tastes delicious and will be a stunning focal point of your reception.

    This vendor was delightful to work with. Definitely do the tasting. It gives you an idea of their talent. They are open to ideas and very flexible. We wanted an airplane for the cake topper so Jennifer suggested some ideas. Then, I realized that my girlfriend from Canada could do this. They encouraged me to have my friend contact Jennifer if she had any questions. Simply Cakes allowed my friend to drop the topper off at the bakery....then Simply Cakes delivered the entire cake to the Mission Inn. The cake was a hit with no left overs.

    Simply Cakes took our vision for our Wedding Cake and brought it to reality. The moment Cody and I say our cake in the Grand Parisian Ballroom at the Mission Inn, we knew that there was no other cake that could compare to the cake that stood on the stage of the Ballroom. Not only did our cake look gorgeous, but it tasted AMAZING. We were able to do 4 layers, each with a different flavor cake and different filling. We were able to incorporate all our favorite flavors into one creation. Simply Cakes was so professional and very attentive to what we were looking for in our cake. They also answered the phone and emails within a few hours. I would recommend Simply Cakes for any and all occasions. Thank you again!

    Simply Cakes, etc...Bakery made our vision for our wedding come to life. We wanted a romantic five-tiered cake with a touch of rococo/baroque flair and received that and more. We came in with a design of what we had in mind, and they brought it to life. They listened to what we wanted and gave us more than we expected. Not only was our cake gorgeous and impeccably designed, it was delicious. I received many compliments on its beautiful presentation and also on the fact that it tasted amazing.

    These guys don't just do pretty, they actually know how to bake. Even the additional sheet cakes we ordered for the wedding were complimented because they tasted great! In fact, I loved them so much, a year and a half later I came back for our baby shower cake :D and plan on returning to them for all of our special occasions.

    My husband and I had a list of vendors to choose from on our vendor approved list and I was very worried about finding the right vendors that not only understood but embraced our vision for our wedding. Simply Cakes exceeded our expectations! We had the perfect cake for our Halloween Wedding and could not have had bigger smiles then when we saw our cake. Thank you Simply Cakes!

    First of all they have the most delicious cakes out there! Our three layer wedding cake was not only visually beautiful but a culinary experience! It even tasted great decoratively smothered on my nose! :) Each tier was a different flavor, not the boring vanilla or marble or chocolate cakes either - it was pineapple, raspberry, & lemon!
    We highly recommend Simple Cakes!

    Simply Cakes did a phenomenal job on my three tiered wedding cake. I had my consultation with Jennifer and she was amazing, she was informative, professional and extremely friendly. She helped me create a custom design that was beautiful and perfect for my guest count. My cake was gorgeous and most importantly is was out of this world delicious, we went with Lemon cake with raspberry filling and chocolate cake with Bavarian filling. Our guests loved it and so did we! They also provided the cutest bride and groom cupcakes as a gift on our sweetheart table, such a sweet gesture. I highly would recommend Simply Cakes, so talented, professional, friendly and reliable. THANK YOU SIMPLY CAKES!!!

    Very professional, and very helpful! We were going to buy a cake topper through Etsy, but the associate suggested we get one made for us by their people because it would take too long to ship. So we did and it turned out great! Same price too. Cake was delicious! They even gave us matching couple cupcakes as a Thank You gift! What customer service they have!

    EXCEPTIONAL !!!!

    As a bride looking for her fabulous cake I came upon this amazing company. From the first phone call Jennifer took the time to thoroughly understand my vision, to make wonderful suggestions and to work with my budget. The cake and fillings are superb ,the warmth and feel of the bakery is second to none and the follow up of all my questions was spot on.
    I could not have been more grateful to find such a bakery with passion for how they handle their customers and their artistry. I appreciate them so and so will you !

    My wife and I were shopping around Riverside and Corona for our wedding cake. We tried a few other shops before we found simply cakes. The other spots had dry, tasteless cakes. Our first visit to simply cakes was our last one. Both Greg and Jen were lifesavers in helping us out putting together one beautiful cake that the everyone enjoyed and went back for seconds and thirds. Be prepared when you sample their cakes every filling was amazing (raspberry was the keeper). The cake was delivered and set up picture perfect. No issues and both owners provided outstanding customer service!
