Yummy desserts

Cute cakes made our wedding cake and an assortment of desserts offered during the reception. The assortment of desserts allowed plenty of options for our guests and satisfied everyone’s palates. The provided platters and stands matched our wedding decor perfectly and displayed the desserts in a favorable way. There were options such as brownies, cupcakes, cookies, macaroons, and fruit that were all equally delicious. Our wedding cake was absolutely perfect and crafted with care. It was exactly what I had asked for and more. The flavors were decadent, and I cannot wait to have the other tier for our anniversary! The cake and dessert tasting that was offered before the wedding day made making flavor decisions easier and was a wonderful sweet treat and teaser for the big day. The store is also super cute and the staff always friendly.

Go with Cute Cakes!

I cannot say enough good things about Cute Cakes and the incredible wedding cake they created for my special day. The lemon cake and tier of guava cake were absolutely delicious and exceeded all of my expectations.

The flavors were so unique and unexpected, and they added a wonderful touch to our wedding dessert. The care and attention to detail that Cute Cakes put into crafting our cake was truly impressive.

Not only was the cake delicious, but the delivery was seamless. They arrived on time and ensured that the cake was set up perfectly for our reception. It was such a relief to know that everything was taken care of without any stress on our end.

The cake tasting experience was also a highlight. We had a great time trying out different flavors and discussing our vision with the team at Cute Cakes. They were accommodating, friendly, and truly invested in making our cake perfect for our big day.

I highly recommend Cute Cakes to anyone looking for a talented and reliable bakery for their wedding or special event. Thank you to Cute Cakes for creating such a delicious and beautiful cake for our wedding day. It was truly a highlight of the celebration.

Cute Cakes is highly recommended!

Delicious! A beautiful tasting and even better wedding cake. Our wedding planner, Tara, recommended Cute Cakes to us. At the tasting, we explored flavor combinations with tea and champagne with the groom's parents. It was such fun. They answered all our questions and helped us pick the best options for our wedding reception at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. We loved it so much we canceled our next cake tasting. We chose a 2 tiered round cake which we decorated with flowers from Native Poppy, our florist. And we got a sheet cake for cutting in the back. We highly recommend Cute Cakes for your wedding or special event.

Beautiful and Delicious!

We worked with Cute Cakes through our venue, and they went beyond expectations! The tasting experience and consultation was seamless and very helpful. The flavors offered were unique and all amazing, really hard to choose, but we were able to do a different flavor for each tier which was really great! We forgot our cake topper and the delivery staff was able to add florals to the top of the cake that looked like it was what we planned all along it was beautiful! We cant wait to come back on anniversaries and get a sweet treat every year!

Cake cutting and desserts

Being a caterer, I rarely eat much of my food, cooking and tasting it so much. Instead, I look forward to the time of night where Providing free cake cutting service has its perks. I have tried A LOT of cakes, Some delicious and moist and some not so much, unfortunately.! I’ve tried cute cakes plenty of times and they have NOT disappointed. I feel like a kid every time I see them dropping off some cake to my events. The little desserts they provide are on point as well. Can’t wait to give there cakes another taste. Thanks for the treats.

Amazing cake and service!

My wife and I loved our wedding cake from Cute Cakes. After our tasting—they provide six generously sized cake slices for you to try—we chose their chocolate ganache cake with a marshmallow fondant and vanilla cream custard. The cake was so tasty and moist and we received a lot of compliments for it from our guests. As for the Cute Cakes team, they are responsive and professional and made things really easy for us. I would highly recommend working with this company for your wedding or any dessert catering needs!

So Delicious!

We used Cute Cakes for our wedding this past weekend and can't say enough about how professional the team was, and how delicious the desserts were! We did a small two tiered cake, with a bunch of mini desserts (macarons, brownie bites, cheesecake bites, lemon tarts and truffle pops). Everything tasted incredible, looked so beautiful, and was all moist and fresh! It was all such amazing quality too. Cute Cakes staff is amazing and will check in frequently to see if everything is okay, and is always available and flexible when changes need to be made. They worked with me as well to stay within my budget! I highly recommend them!

Beautiful Cake

At the tasting Cute Cakes provided a dozen flavors of cake and fillings which made our decision difficult. We decided on marble cake with chocolate mousse filling and vanilla cake with strawberry/raspberry jam filling, both were really good. The cake looked exactly the way I wanted it to.
