    The BEST cake!!

    Bev was referred to me by a friend/coworker and she was an absolutely delight to work with! If you are looking for an amazing cake for your wedding (or any other event), look no further! She bakes her cakes fresh the morning of the event, transported it to the venue, and decorated with the flowers provided from the florist. She is truly just a pleasure to work with and made everything very easy, straightforward, and worry free. Also the cakes were AMAZING! Easily some of the best cake we have EVER had (funfetti was our favorite) and we were so excited to share her incredible cake with our guests! 10/10 would recommend Bev for any cake needs!

    Beautiful Cake

    Bev is sweet, professional, easy-going and so pleasant to work with. We had a great experience working with her on our wedding cake. She is generous with her tastings and was fantastic in implementing our preferences on sweetness levels and design/style. The result was beautiful and delicious. Thank you, Bev!

    Amazing experience

    Bev is amazing and so easy to work with. She provided me with options and photos to help select a design which would fit our wedding.

    We had a small two layer cake and cupcakes which were all delish and beautiful.

    Absolutely delicious!!!!

    Bev is incredible! Not only is she the kindest woman, her cakes are mouthwatering. I worked in the industry so I've eaten a lot of cakes so the second I got engaged I knew I was going to have Bev make my cake. It was beautiful and delicious we didn't even have any leftovers because our guests enjoyed it so much!

    Bev is a world class baker!!!

    What can we say! Our Wedding cake that Bev baked was an absolute hit! A fresh baked cake and homemade icing tastes soooo much better then a frozen cake like most bakers do. She is one of the sweetest women you'll ever meet and an absolute joy to work with! We tried a few different cake places around before we found Bev, and she easily had the best tasting cake and responded the quickest! Thank you so much Bev for making our wedding day a sweet celebration. You're the best!

    Bev is so sweet!

    We had Bev booked for our wedding that had changed dates 3 times. She stuck with us for each date change and even mentioned that she was making 4 other cakes on our final date, but was happy to squeeze us in. Bev was happy to make multiple samples for us. We only told her a couple days before we wanted the samples since we were going to be in the area at the venue. She was happy to whip them up last minute. She included silk flowers when we said we didn't want to pay our florist for that part. She is so sweet and her prices are amazing-the best we could find. Our guests loved our cake and it looked beautiful!

    Wonderful to work with

    Bev was amazing to work with! After talking to her for the first 5 minutes, we knew we were going to hire her! I mean, how could you not? She does only 1 wedding cake per day, endless sample cakes by request and the price is affordable! We love her as a person too; very honest, wholesome and the sweet. People who don’t eat cake ate our wedding cake!

    Amazing wedding cake

    Bev made our wedding cake this past fall. Bev is sooooo sweet. We were planning our wedding from out-of-state so it was hard to meet her. We were only in town for a day and although she was working on a wedding cake that day, she took 30 minutes of her lunch break to meet with us and to give us her sample cakes (which was a mini cake and a box of cupcakes!!). Bev makes all her cakes on the day of delivery! We ordered a three tier cake and cupcakes for our wedding and it was delicious! We gave her very little directions with how we wanted our cake decorated other than one of her previous cakes and a color scheme. She decorated our cake beautifully using both flowers our florist provided and her silk flowers. Bev is such a sweetheart and so thoughtful about everything. We highly recommend her!

    My husband and I cannot say enough great things about Bev and her creations. Not only are her cakes absolutely delicious, but she is also the sweetest! She makes the cake day of which was a huge selling point for us- you can tell in the taste!! She did a beautiful job putting flowers on the cake and our topper- it all looked exceptional. Bev is the best!

    Bev created my beautiful wedding cake for me and I'm so immensely grateful to have worked with her! Bev is the sweetest, upon our first meeting I felt like I was working with family and someone I've known for a long time! She is incredibly kind and fair and gracious in her work and time dedicated to us and our day. Bev has a vast portfolio of cake designs, styles and flavors she's done in the past, but she's also helpful and flexible in making any requested changes, additions or new ideas altogether. Working with her and meeting during planning was very easy, she was very reliable, communicative and easygoing. She also brings cake samples for you so you actually know taste the flavors and can make modifications. All the flavors and fillings are delicious, I tasted quite a few before I settled on a lemon flavor cake with raspberry filling and amaretto. And wow how delicious it was! On the day of our wedding, Bev came early to setup to make sure she had everything she needed from the venue. Our cake table was certainly a centerpiece of its own and commanded so much attention from our guests, every one of our guests commented on how beautiful it looked and how the cake flowers (silk! looked 100% real, no one could tell the difference) matched the decor of the room.

    I'm incredibly happy with Bev and her delicious cakes. She was great to work with, the cake turned out beautifully and so grandiose, and most of all delicious! Bev has very very fair prices and her cake is actually made of homemade buttercream frosting, which is such a plus! If you're looking for a cake for your wedding or other event, Bev Tanaka is the best in the Bay Area, this happy bride assures you!

    If you're looking for a beautiful, amazingly tasty, genuine wedding cake experience, Bev is your gal!! Bev will make all of your wedding cake dreams come true without compromising on the taste. We were definitely more concerned about having a wedding cake that our guests would enjoy and I was especially looking for a couple layers with a funfetti cake (eek!!). Bev it completely open to fun ideas, and helps recommend some of her own - which we appreciated. She's easy to get in contact with, very simple to set up a meeting with as she is very accommodating. Even when my mom wanted to taste an almond flavor, Bev met us a couple weeks later to let us taste a different flavor. She did a great job incorporating the homemade gold flowers my mom made into her greenery - and the cake came out perfect. We can't wait to eat some of her cake in a year!

    Picking Bev as our cake vendor was by far the easiest decision we made throughout our whole planning process. Bev is the sweetest lady, her cakes were delicious (we sampled about 5) and I’m so happy that we chose her!

    My husband and I cannot say enough wonderful things about Bev and her cakes. She is so wonderful to work with and truly cares about her clients, and not to mention she makes the BEST CAKES EVER. I have eaten many cakes in my life and nothing is as good as a Cake Creation by Bev. She created the most gorgeous, and delicious, wedding cake for us. We chose to not preserve the top tier of our cake to save for our 1st wedding anniversary because it was way too good to wait to eat. We instead chose to eat it the day after our wedding! : Our wedding cake was funfetti (bottom tier) and vanilla with vanilla pudding (top tier). We had sheet cakes of funfetti, marble, and vanilla with vanilla pudding. Many of our guests raved about her cakes and we were told most of them had more than one piece. Bev used the flowers from our florist to arrange on our cake and we were blown away at how beautiful everything turned out. You will be extremely happy if you choose to work with Bev. My husband and I still talk about how good the cake at our wedding was, and we can't wait to work with her again in the future. Thanks, Bev!

    Where do I start? My husband and I are obsessed with Cake Creations by Bev. Bev is wonderful, as a person. You'll fall in love with her from the first meeting. She's honest and genuine. Her cakes are out of this world. The value of the cakes is amazing. I have nothing but good things to say and look forward to using her for cakes in the future.

    I planned my daughter's Bay Area wedding from Colorado - never stepping a foot in Livermore until 2 days before the wedding. I needed GOOD, dependable, quality people & services to work with to pull off my first daughter's reception event in the way that we had envisioned from afar! I relied HEAVILY on yelp - didn't know about weddingwire.com until after the fact, honestly. But, after getting alot of referrals from friends, checking websites & a LOT of phone interviews for cake designers/bakers - I found a true diamond in the rough on Yelp in Bev Tanaka! She works at a 'real job' & has used her passion & love for cake making & decorating to put her kids through college. And, MAN! She has truly perfected her craft. Bev was on time. She provided EXACTLY what we wanted at an amazing price & it was DELICIOUS! She truly was an amazing find that I am SO glad that we didn't settle before finding her! I wish I could find a way to attach a picture of our cake for everyone to see.... she did such a stunning job on what WE wanted - it was not a 'run of the mill cake'. LOVE this lady, her professionalism & her expertise! I recommend her whole-heartedly!

    Bev's cakes are amazing! I am so happy I chose Bev to make our wedding cake and can't wait until the wedding day to have some. Bev is very accommodating with her tastings and provided us a few small cakes so we could see different decorating styles and taste different flavors. Her buttercream frosting (she doesn't do fondant) is the best I have ever had, all 7 people who participated in our many tastings agreed. Her personality and responsiveness can't be beat either. Since we booked her to make our wedding cake we have also used Bev to make a cake for my in-laws 70th birthday! All the cakes we tried are amazing but the red velvet and vanilla with banana were our favorites! Her prices are also very very reasonable. I am so happy we chose Bev and I can't imagine ever getting a cake from anyone else.

    Bev did such a wonderful job with our wedding cake! She did exactly what I asked. I could not have asked for a better cake for our wedding. Not only was the cake amazing, she is the sweetest, most kindest person I have ever met. The minute you meet her, it's like talking to someone you've known for years. I just adore her! On top of all that, her pricing is amazing. Being that my husband and I were paying for the entire wedding ourselves, she gave us a great price for our cake. Like I said, she is just the sweetest. In addition, she offered to make us a cake for our one year wedding anniversary so we could serve our entire wedding cake. At no charge! Bev, we can't wait to call you up in a year for that! Thanks so much for all your help. 5+ stars!

    I am so thrilled I had Bev make my cake for my wedding. She did a marvelous job, and it looked beautiful! She was very professional and timely in all of our communication, and very accommodating. I had a specific design that I wanted on the cake, and I sketched it out and emailed it to her - she recreated the exact design on my cake. I didn't have to "baby-sit" her, and keep following up. Everything was so easy with her. She gave us mini cakes for sample cakes when we were deciding what we wanted - it was great because we got to share it with our families later and see what they liked too, instead of just sampling a few bites. She is also VERY affordable, which makes everything nicer :]

    We found Bev Tanaka using Yelp reviews and we weren't disappointed. She was initially booked on our wedding date but the bride ended up having to move her wedding day (yay for us!). Our first meeting included a general idea of what we wanted, flavors, size, and two freshly baked cakes for us to take home and sample. My husband ate himself halfway through one of them on the car ride home - it was that good. Her cakes themselves are delicious, your guests will love every bite.

    You do need to know that she doesn't work with fondant. If you want an elaborate fondant design, go elsewhere. She can, however, work magic with butter cream. Our cake had beautiful swirls on every layer, and then garden roses and orchids stuffed in between the tiers.

    In addition to baking a stunning and delicious cake, Bev lets you borrow her silver cakestand, she delivers the cake and then picks up the cakestand the next day from the facility. We were very happy with Bev and highly recommend her.

    One word...AWESOME!!!! Bev is a pleasure to work with and had a fabulous time tasting her cakes and cupcakes. We had a cake tasting where she brought two 6 inch cakes for tasting and we got to take some home to share with some family and friends. Our best man was very complimentary of the cakes. When we expressed the desire to have cupcakes, she graciously invited us to another tasting. When I told her that our best man, his wife and one of his daughters wanted to come along, she didn't hesitate to tell us that she would bring enough cupcakes for everyone. Our wedding guests loved the cupcakes on our wedding day and the display was beautifully done. I loved working with her and I would totally recommend her to other prospective brides and in fact, I already have.

    When we got engaged, we thought we already knew who would make our cake. We went to a vendor showcase at the Palm Event Center and there were bakers everywhere. I didn't really want to taste anything because like I said I already new, or so I thought, who was making our cake. My now husband, spotted Bev's table grabbed a cupcake and with a full mouth said, "Babe you gotta taste this cake!" I was hooked from that moment on. Bev is so absolutely sweet which made it even easier to choose her for our wedding cake. I walked in the venue and saw the cake being set up. It was so beautiful I instantly got emotional. Then later when I got to taste it it was like a little slice of homemade heaven. Bev is excellent with her response times in answering any questions you may have. I can't wait to have another big event to have a reason to order another cake.

    Bev Tanaka is the type of person who everyone can instantly fall in love with: having the sweetest personality, motherly nature and professionalism. Her responses are always prompt and thorough. She also has great attention to detail & gave us ideas on how to design the best looking wedding cake...and that she did!!

    During our consultation we wanted to book her service even prior to tasting the cake. Once you meet her, you will know why. Sweetest lady ever!! It was an added bonus that her cakes tasted so good. She gave us sample cakes to try and take home. She happily provided samples until we made a decision on our cake flavor. She never pressured us at all to book her services and her prices were very reasonable. She also went the extra mile by loaning her cake stand, added flowers to the cake (which many times, this is the florists responsibility) and provided 2 extra small cakes that we wanted to give to our friends as a birthday cake at no extra charge. She truly went the extra mile. Other bakers would have truly charged for this!

    It is also assuring to know that cake money Bev makes goes towards her children's college fund. We felt like we were also helping her and her family in a way. We love Bev Tanaka and her cakes!!!

    I found Bev through our wedding venue. After contacting several bakeries, I was a bit discouraged at the price people were charging for ONE wedding cake. Bev responded right away to my email and we were able to meet. I must say, Bev provided me with TWO personal sized sample cakes. How could I say no to her! Her cakes are beautiful, delicious, and AFFORDABLE. She is sweet and was able to meet our needs. She has plenty of pictures to choose from.

    ~~~~~~ HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ~~~~~~~
