Flexible, Responsive, and Delicious Cakes!

We used sugar and scribe for both our weddings (COVID wedding + post-COVID wedding) and loved them. They were really responsive and communicative. They completely nailed the design I wanted just by going off some pictures I sent them. They were so flexible in the design and asked me plenty of questions to ensure they were designing it exactly how I wanted it (both times).

I ended up wanting the same design for the 2nd wedding but additional tiers and they had absolutely no problem with that. The service was great and they even made an exception to deliver it to my venue even though they were already booked that day and weren't supposed to.

We went with the elderberry flavor because it was so unique and it's not something we'd ever tried before. Everyone we asked really liked it and it was unique to them as well. Highly recommend them for their cakes!

Attached photo is from our 1st wedding and the cake was for 30 people. We definitely didn't go through all of it and we had 32 people. We were all so full from dinner that most of us could barely stuff down cake.

Vanilla Cake for the Win!

After looking into so many bakeries for our wedding cake and cupcakes, we ultimately were drawn to Sugar & Scribe for their taste, presentation, and overall energy that the S&S team provided! On our initial tasting (nominal $30 fee), Ray helped guide us through their cupcake varieties and work through our vision. You will sample all their current in-house flavors, so come with an appetite. You will also try some seasonal flavors as well- keep in mind if you're tasting for a different season. If you want matching colors, they have all the sprinkles and luster dust you can think of. We weren't too complicated as all we wanted was a semi-nude cake and a couple cupcakes to go with- nothing crazy or anything like that. As the wedding planning ensued, our original vision grew to a tiered cake with over 100 mini cupcakes! When everything unfolded on our wedding day, we cold not express how happy we were to see what Maeve and her team helped create! Our vanilla tiered cake that was reserved didn't last for us as I ate it all, and the chocolate salted caramel and the elderberry cupcakes were a hit with everyone in attendance! Definitely will come back to La Jolla just to visit Sugar & Scribe!
