Our cake was included in the hotel package from the Crowne Plaza Costa Mesa. We went to Colette's and actually had our meeting with Colette, the owner. I was really surprised and impressed. Everything we tasted was fantastic! We went with Vanilla cake and Vanilla bean frosting. We had a picture of the cake we wanted and they did a great job recreating it! I want to go back every year and have them recreate a little cake, so we can have it on our anniversary. We froze the cake and ate it on one month of being married and it was still delicious! (I had heard if you wait until your one year anniversary the cakes get really gross and taste like cardboard and I wanted to eat my cake!)

Finding Colette's Cake Goddess was such a blessing! Doreen helped us since day one, assisting us in choosing the flavor of the cake, the decoration, the frosting, everything! we knew the cake was going to taste delicious because it reflected a lot of people's effort and our vision; but neither my husband or I ever imagined what an impact it would have on our guest. Everybody loved the cake so much, but they are still talking about it. I did not get a change to eat much the day of, but one thing that I do remember perfectly was the taste of the cake as well. We served it along with mochi ice cream and those two were just made for each other because it made the perfect combination. Our guest and us were truly amazed with the look and taste that of cake.. mmm yumiie, just to think about it. Thumbs up for Colette's, and special thanks to Doreen! thank you thank you! <3
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

We were able to secure Colette's for a holiday that no other caterers were working! The client was extremely happy with their food and service and would love to work with Colette's again. We were pleased with their pricing and menu options.

Colette's Catering is professional, relaxed, experienced and delicious! i have worked with them repeatedly at Muckenthaler Cultural Centre and even on a yacht in Newport. They will adapt their approach to fit clients' needs...even when it comes to dietary restrictions such as vegetarian/vegan requests. What more can i say about Colette's? They're awesome and a joy to work with.
