    A Wedding Delight to Remember!

    I recently had the pleasure of working with Leah at the Little Things Bakery for my wedding, and they surpassed all expectations. Their cake was a delectable masterpiece, combining flavors flawlessly. The attention to detail and artistic flair were remarkable, and the handcrafted decorations matched our theme perfectly. Leah at the Little Things Bakery provided exceptional customer service, making the process stress-free. The delivery and setup were flawless, and the cake became the highlight of our reception. I highly recommend The Little Things Bakery for their talent, commitment, and passion. Thank you for making our day magical!

    Incredible Tasting Wedding Cake

    The Little Things Bakery was great to work with! Leah was very responsible, helpful and flexible when talking about all our different cake options and sizes of the cake. She helped make it more affordable by suggesting a midsize tiered cake for photos and supplementing it with sheet cakes. The cake itself was super moist and tasty, and our guests loved it!

    Cake Baker is amazing and we loved working with them! The cake we had for our wedding was lemon with bavarian cream and it was the best cake I have ever had (my husband agrees :) ) Your Cake Baker was very accommodating and brought extra boxes for the top layer and extra cake. They also added the cake topper. They were very flexible with delivery. Would highly recommend and definitely go for the tasting!! The cake is the best.

    I loved working with Your Cake Baker! My (now) husband isn't a huge fan of sweets, so we were contemplating not having a wedding cake. Luckily I found Your Cake Baker and with their budget cakes that were actually exactly what we wanted - a very modern, all white, plain cake, it was a success. Their cake is delicious, moist, and not too too sweet for my husband, but sweet enough for me, being the cake lover! The tasting was easy to schedule and their flavors were great. They were very helpful with suggesting the perfect size cake for our guest. Delivery was seamless and easy and overall, everyone loved the cake!

    If you're looking for someone to bake a cake for your wedding in the Santa Barbara area, this is the place. I ordered a 2 tiered carrot cake and red velvet cake for my wedding day. Buttercream topped with fresh flowers. The cake was beautiful and may I say the guests enjoyed every bite. My fiance and I we're not able to do a cake tasting. Which made me a little nervous. I just trusted reviews and followed their post on Instagram and made my decision off of that. We were not disappointed! Great price & even delivered the cake to our reception. Big thanks to Ana for all your help ! ??

    If you're getting married in Santa Barbara, there's no reason to use any other cake baker than "Your Cake Baker". They are inexpensive, friendly and professional, incredibly talented in cake design, and their cakes are moist, sweet, and deliciously perfect. Honestly, I would say the very best cake I have ever had the pleasure of enjoying, and I truly am not being biased - I'm quite the cake snob. When choosing a baker, you want someone who appreciates your vision and is excited to make your wildest cake dreams come true. Your Cake Baker is this, and so much more! The owner Wayne is exceptionally talented and very accessible and his staff is diligent in making sure your order is executed to your upmost satisfaction!

    Our wedding cake was absolutely fantastic! Not only was it beautiful but it tasted amazing! We were so pleased with the results! By far the prettiest beach themed wedding cake I've seen yet. Maybe I'm being biased it being own wedding, but bottom line Your Cake Baker did a wonderful job!

    Your Cake Baker did my wedding cake last weekend in Santa Barbara and it was perfect! It was exactly like the picture I showed them and was so delicious. Delivery went perfect and it was extremely easy to work with them during the whole process. I would highly recommend!

    Extremely friendly staff and very patient with us as we did a lot of tastings before deciding on our flavors. Our cake came out just as we had envisioned and it was delicious too!

    Wayne did an amazing job with our wedding cake for our October 10th wedding in Santa Barbara, CA. Not only are his cakes beautiful and delicious they are also very affordable. Wayne and his staff are very personable, professional and reliable. My family and I have purchased cakes and cupcakes from Wayne for a variety of special occasions are are never disappointed! As a Wedding Planner myself I am always looking for talented and professional vendors to refer to my clients and I always recommend Wayne to my brides and grooms for the quality of the cakes, prices and exceptional customer service! I highly recommend Wayne Kjar - Your Cake Baker!

    Delicious, easy to work with, surprisingly affordable (their sheet cake will feed many and will be the same taste & quicker to serve), and did I mention DELICIOUS? Man, I keep thinking about that raspberry bavarian cream wedding cake - good thing they give you a slice to celebrate 1 year :). Keeps the integrity of every delicious bite of their cakes. Yummy!! :)

    We love this place! Everything from our cake tasting to selecting the cake and design to the actual cake were so seamless. The cake tasting was by far the best part of wedding planning and Your Cake Baker made it so enjoyable. The one difficult part was picking which flavors we wanted because everything we tasted was SO GOOD! Highly recommend these guys!

    Wayne Kjar Cakes was great to work with! We ordered our cake 11 months in advance at their anniversary party and got a really great discount on the $/slice. Since it was so far in advance we didn't know exactly how many people, or what flavors we wanted, and it wasn't a problem for them at all. We originally placed an order for a 125 people, then once our RSVPs came in we found out we were only going to have 100 people. They were able to accommodate the smaller # of people and refunded us the amount for the 25 pieces we didn't need.

    I had ordered a custom cake topper online and the base of it was too big for the cake configuration we had picked out. Like a maniac, I went back and forth between 3 tier & 4 tier and they were kind in changing my order both times.

    We ended up with 4 tiers and they allow you to choose a different flavor for each tier! We chose white w/ raspberry, chocolate w/w chocolate, pumpkin w/spice, and chocolate w/ raspberry.

    The cake was beautiful and tasted delicious. Everyone really enjoyed trying all of the flavors! Now I know why Wayne Kjar is recommended by all of the vendors in Santa Barbara.

    After trying several other bakers in the Santa Barbara area, our final stop was Wayne Kjar - and thank goodness we made the stop! From the friendliness of the staff to the cake itself, working with Wayne was great! The cake was so delicious - we decided on the no-frills white bavarian cake and it was by far the best wedding cake we had ever had! And all of our guests raved about it!

    We used Your Cake Baker(Wayne Kjar) for our Sept 2015 wedding and they were fantastic! They were very easy to book an appt with and the cupcake tastings were so much fun. Leading up to the big day, they were very responsive and super helpful with answering random questions that I had along the way. On the day of, the cupcakes were delicious and super fresh! I would definitely recommend Your Cake Baker to all brides or anyone who just really appreciates great cake!!!

    Our wedding cake was DELICIOUS!!! Guests raved about how good it was!! I have mostly dealt with Ana who was so patient, professional and responsive every step of the way! She was such a pleasure to work with. During cake tasting, I've met Wayne who made sure everything was to my satisfaction. My husband and I kept to top tier which we ate during our min-honeymoon and let me tell you... I am craving it now daily! Lemon cake with bavarian cream - to die for! Overall, delicious desserts and outstanding service! Highly recommend!

    FANTASTIC cake! Not only was the cake delicious, but it was decorated EXACTLY like the picture I sent. Ana was a delight to work with - extremely responsive, thorough, and helpful. I was so impressed by this bakery, especially for such an affordable price. Will absolutely recommend Wayne Kjar cakes to my friends!

    We originally considered Wayne Kjar cakes because we live on the Mesa and wanted to support a local business. But we tried another bakery and the woman there tried to make us choose cakes and frostings she preferred to make, not what we wanted to have. When we went to Wayne's shop they were flexible, helpful and the price was great. At our wedding we had the cake on a stage behind our head table and when everyone walked in to the reception they remarked how amazing the cake looked. And once they tasted the cake, they asked where we got it. Such a great response!

    Best cake ever! We had a three tier cake with three different fillings. Our guests repeatedly told us it was the best wedding cake they've ever had. The price was much less than what we had expected to pay for a wedding cake, so we were VERY happy! The ordering process was simple, and the staff was very helpful, even when we had to change our order to accommodate a larger group. We had a simple design, and rented one of their silver cake stands...the presentation was stunning!

    Wayne Kjar makes delicious cakes at good prices. Every flavor we tried was delicious and they had so many different options for decorating the cake. I brought in a picture of what I wanted my cake to look like and it came out better than the picture. Wayne is super nice and really cared about making our day special and he did. Would recommend for any occasion and definitely going back for my 1st anniversary.

    Wayne Kjar was FANTASTIC. Our cake basically disappeared as soon as the coffee was poured. We went with a two tier, one flavor each, cake, and we're very fortunate that our caterer put aside a piece of each flavor for us!! We weren't quite sure about how big the cake needed to be, but the staff at Your Cake Baker really helped us make the right decisions. Nothing went to waste, and everyone enjoyed. They even assembled our Groom's Cake - stacked Oreos to look like a tiered cake - for a very reasonable labor fee. I was very happy to have one less thing to worry about!! We look forward to getting our birthday cakes, anniversary cakes...basically any cake, from Wayne Kjar in the future.

    We had our reception at the Hyatt so part of our package included a wedding cake from Your Cake Baker (Wayne Kjar cakes).
    We ended up going with 4 layers and 2 different flavors - the marble cake with the raspberry Bavarian cream filling and lemon with Bavarian cream filling.
    The cake ... was AMAZING. So moist, so fluffy, so full of flavor - PHENOMENAL.
    They really worked with my (now) husband and I on the shape - the design - and everything. We were very new to the process and were not exactly sure what we wanted so it was so nice to have their help.
    Everyone absolutely loved the cake (design and flavors) - and they even worked with us to include ribbons in our colors and our cake toppers. The piping looked beautiful and the finished product was perfect.
    We could not have asked or hoped for a better looking or tasting cake. A+!

    This cake shop is awesome. I found them through Yelp and let me tell you they nothing but great reviews. My cake turned out beautiful. It was exactly what I wanted. The flavor was on point. The bread was so moist and the filling was not to sweet or bitter, perfect. They do require at least a month in advance for wedding cakes. They also do offer free cake tasting so that was a plus. Overall excellent service and quality.
