The best wedding cake ever!

Time and time again, Jocelyn has proven to be one of the best cake bakers in the Santa Barbara/Ventura County area. Her dedication to high quality ingredients, beautifully detailed work, and personalization for every customer shows that she has the passion and the skills to impress every guest at your event. I've had many cakes made by Jocelyn over the years and when it came time to pick my wedding cake, no other baker came to mind. Everything was perfect and the delivery option brought so much piece of mind. She gave me the wedding cake of my dreams and I'm sure she can make yours too!

Our cake was perfect! It was even gluten free, too!!

Jocelyn was absolutely amazing to work with! Her response time was quick, and she was able to accommodate a gluten free cake, which meant everything to us. My fiancé is celiac and kept telling me not to worry about the cake but I really wanted to find someone who could safely make one he could actually enjoy. Jocelyn was truly our savior.

I was able to surprise my fiancé with a cake he could eat, and it was delicious and absolutely perfect! It was everything I envisioned and more. Thank you so much, Jocelyn! We are so grateful! ❤️

Insane cakes

I used Big Red Baking Co for my rehearsal dinner and wedding cake. Both were so absolutely insanely good and my entire family was talking about both cakes all week. We had left overs and ate them the days after the wedding and couldn't get enough. Both cakes were so beautiful, tasted so good, and were the perfect blend of all flavors and textures. PLEASE GET YOUR CAKE HERE U WONT REGRET IT.

Beautiful, delicious cake!

We came across Jocelyn’s cakes after much research and tasting of other cakes that just did not hold up to the standard we were looking for. This was, hands down, the best cake I think we have ever tasted. To top it off, it was also beautiful designed by Jocelyn. We ordered a two tier wedding cake with two different flavors, vanilla with chocolate and vanilla with passion fruit. While both were delicious, the passion fruit really stood out to us and was phenomenal! We have dreams about how delicious this cake was and we are very much going to be ordering another cake in the future and we can’t wait to taste it again!

Big Red Baking = The BEST!

Jocelyn is the best of the best! I met her for coffee, and discussed what my vision was for my summer wedding cake. She listened, did a quick sketch, and had great suggestions. We did a cake tasting, where she created 4 mini cakes for us to pick up and try at home. Such a special touch for us. They were 4 different flavors, and had different designs for us to look at and decide exactly what we wanted. She is professional, communicates well, and our wedding cake was exactly what we envisioned. Not only did it look stunning, everyone was amazed by how delicious it tasted. We went with 2 flavors, and everyone commented on how delicious it was. We loved it so much, that for our first anniversary, we ordered a smaller version of our cake and had it represent our honeymoon! She is the first person I recommend to people for custom wedding and celebration cakes.

Beautiful Wedding Cake!

Our wedding cake was absolutely beautiful - exactly what I had envisioned! It was delivered to our venue the morning of our wedding, perfectly on time and in pristine condition. Not only did it look stunning, but it tasted delicious. Jocelyn was so easy to work with, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. I couldn't have asked for a better experience!

Wedding cake of the century!

Our experience in working with Jocelyn from Big Red Baking Co. far exceeded our high expectations in every way. She was professional and detail-oriented and came up with amazing design concepts from the very limited amount of information we gave her about our ideas. By the time we tried her cake samples, we were sold! She personally delivered them to our home in a beautifully-packaged box and were by far the most amazing we tasted out of the several other highly-rated local bakeries we had also tried. When we finally got to see her creation on our wedding day, we were in awe at how beautiful and perfect it was. Although we had our reception in a lovely restaurant with a lovely meal, it was Jocelyn's cake that left the biggest impression on all of our friends and family. It was such a hit that my wife and I barely got a piece for ourselves!
If you have a special occasion calling for the most beautiful and delicious cake you and your guests have ever tried, look no further than Big Red Baking Company.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
