    Masterpiece!

    If you zoom in – my face says it all! WOW WOW WOW! The flavors and the execution of this masterpiece was out of this world!
    We met Susan in Sonoma for a cake tasting as she came highly recommended by my wedding coordinator at Auberge du Soleil, after that we knew we didn’t need to look any further. Elegant Cheesecakes captured our hearts and taste buds. Susan is sweet, extremely knowledgeable and was kind enough to work with my budget. She sent us 2 samples to try before we finalized the cake flavors – we decided to go with a refreshing flight of lemon butter cake with zesty lemon curd and butter cream, champagne butter cake with fresh raspberries in Chantilly cream, coconut infused butter cake with mango passion toasted coconut mousse. Drooling yet??
    I was completely blown away by the handmade flowers on the cake – truly the work of an artist!
    Thank you Susan - We can’t wait to order our anniversary cake from you!

    Wow!!! We got married at the Westin SF and chose to go with Susan @ Elegant Cheese Cakes and boy did we make the right choice. From the minute we sat down in the cute Half Moon Bay shop until cutting into the glorious and beautiful cake, the whole experience of working with Susan was spectacular. We went with the flight of cake and it all tasted perfect. I don't know why anyone would want to use anyone else. The design?!?! She captured everything my wife and I wanted, which was simple and elegant but unique. She nailed it!

    Our guests are still talking about the cake 4 months later!! Bravo to Elegant Cheese Cakes at being masters of your craft!

    We were married last year and had the pleasure of enlisting the services of Elegant Cheesecakes and Susan Morgan for our wedding cake. We knew we wanted a 3-tier cheesecake but to our surprise, we found this almost impossible in the Bay Area. We couldn't find anyone who worked with Cheesecake for wedding arrangements, until we found Susan! She listened to our initial idea, she made even better suggestions that we took to heart, and helped us create our dream cake at a reasonable price.

    As any married couple knows, you have little time to eat at your own wedding. Our caterer made us a plate of cake to have in our room at the end of the night, and OH MY GOD, it was the best cheesecake we have ever had. I kid you not, my wife and I exclusively order nothing but Cheesecake when we go out, and this was like nothing we have ever had. It was so soft, rich in all the right ways, and light at the same time. We had a personal cake she made us to keep and that only lasted for the night after our wedding. We also found out that all our guests raved about the cake, feeling that it was such a unique choice for a wedding cake.

    We would highly recommend her to anyone in our position or anyone who just loves Cheesecake.

    Elegant Cheese Cakes, LLC's reply:

    Thanks for the kind words!!! It's rare these days to have clients who only want cheesecake. We generally do our traditional cake flights which is killer! Whatever you may select, our cakes are the finest!

    Susan is so creative and fun to work with! We got to sample so many different cheesecakes and cakes during our first visit, it was hard to narrow down our favorites and a really fun experience in her shop in Half Moon Bay! She is extremely talented and I highly recommend using her for your any dessert or treat needs!

    She made us a fabulous cake for our wedding and brought my vision to life! The flight cake itself was a total showstopper! People are still asking me about the cake and how we were able to get all these flavors in one slice :)

    She gave us a lovely take home cake that was shaped like a present that included different flavors of the wedding cake, that was a special treat on top of everything else!

    You were a delight to work with, we are on the same page in so many ways! Thanks for using us!!!

    Thank you Susan, at Elegant Cheese Cakes, for your part in helping to make our wedding absolutely perfect! Our cake was just fabulous. Susan did a wonderful job of taking my vision to create the most beautiful, vintage themed wedding cake for us. The artisitic design and work on the magnolia flower that was all done by hand was exquisite. And, underneath the flawless packaging, was a cake that delivered on all points for taste....moist, fresh and flavorful, decadent! We still dream about it! Our guests all had the same feedback...best wedding cake EVER! We recommend the "flight" of flavors, but you can't go wrong with any of their flavor profiles. We are looking forward to a repeat performance....only 10 more months!!

    We'd been to a friends wedding about 5 years ago and one of the things I'd remembered was they had the best wedding cake Id ever had. We knew elegant cheese cakes had to be one of our cake tasting stops. I was in love with how they offered their "flight cake." We were able to order three amazing flavors all in one slice. Sure, other companies offer different flavors per tier. But this was the best. You were able to have each flavor in every slice. I highly recommend the pastacchoi with mango curd. Sounds crazy, but it is such an exotic taste! And of course you cannot go wrong with chocolate decadence. Our third flavor was white cake with fresh bananas. I loved the banana part but the cake part of this flavor was probably my least favorite. But still good. All and all Susan was easy to work with and very available. We ended up with a beautiful cake at a great price. Not only does she offer a take home cake for the bride and groom but she also makes sure you receive one on your one year anniversary. I cannot wait to taste a piece of our wedding day again! Simply delicious!

    Our wedding cake was absolutely amazing. We got so many compliments on our wedding cake. The decoration was everything we wanted and more. Simple, elegant but still had beautiful and intricate details. The cake tasted amazing. This is the first time we saw a 3-flight cake. We choose 3 separate flavors and she was able to get them all in 1 slice of cake so all of our guests could have 3 different flavors. Our whole experience with Susan was absolutely amazing from our tasting to the design of our cake. She is so easy to work with and really listens to what your ideal wedding cake looks like and tastes. Her handmade flowers are absolutely gorgeous. We were so happy with our wedding cake- we will definitely use her for any other cake needs.

    Best.Wedding.Cake.Ever.....Best.Cake.Ever! Seriously, Susan makes the most delicious wedding cakes! I work in the wedding industry and unfortunately (or fortunately) get to taste several (like a lot) of cakes each year. When I started planning my personal wedding, I knew I wanted Elegant Cheesecakes to make our cake! Their flight cake is something unlike any other wedding cake...who wouldn't want pistachio cake, cheesecake, orangesicle creme fraiche, fresh strawberries and raspberries and a peanut brittle crunch all in one slice of cake!?!?! When couples say "no one eats the wedding cake"....well that's simply because they've never tried Susan's cakes. If you're looking for a cake that people will eat and rave about, look no further!

    One year later....

    One of my most memorable moments during our wedding was our magnificent cake by Susan. We attempted to save some cake for our anniversary but failed... We couldn't wait a full year to reminisce our delicious cake. Luckily, Susan takes care of that with an anniversary cake! Her cakes are memorably delicious, creative in flavoring and artistry, and she was amazingly available despite her high demand. Choosing Elegant Cheesecakes was the easiest decision we made for our wedding!

    We used Elegant cheesecakes for our wedding in July of 2014. Susan was absolutely amazing!! She was so patient and took the time to sketch out our cake many times to get it perfect. The cake turned out beautiful and exceeded my expectations. It tasted amazing as well and guests commented how good it was. What an amazing cake!!

    I wish I could give Susan more than 5 stars for her beautiful design of our wedding cake. Our stacks of presents wedding cake was a 5 layer masterpiece. Guests couldn't stop taking photos of the cake and the kids were dazed by the life like golden bow trailing down the cake. The pistachio cake with strawberries was a hit with both sweet tooth fans and non dessert eaters. The candy popper name cards at the table were a tasty surprise. Guests either couldn't help but eat the chocolate filled goody with their individual names on it or took them home to savor later.

    Skip wedding cake vendor shopping and go directly to the best; I highly recommend Elegant Cheesecake to everyone. Even though Half Moon Bay is a trek for some, it is worth it.

    I was married at the Oceano in May. I had an unusual idea for a cake. Susan worked with me and came up with a beautiful design. The cake was incredibly delicious. When I first saw it I couldn't believe how she created exactly what I had imagined. Everyone at my wedding was in awe! I would recommend anyone to Elegant Cheese Cakes for your special event.

    our cake designer did an amazing job on our wedding cake. she turned our wedding cake into 3 different size packages tied with beautiful ribbon. Not only did the cakes look beautiful but they tasted fantastic! One of the things I appreciated most about Katy was that she was available to meet with us in the evening hours. She was so flexible with our work schedules and we felt like she truly welcomed us into her home.

    We had a destination wedding in Half Moon Bay and were so lucky to have an amazing wedding cake made locally. We selected a white chocolate cheesecake and chocolate chips with a hint of Irish Cream on a chocolate crust and a champagne infused white chocolate butter cake with fresh Chantilly cream and fresh raspberries. Both were amazing and our guests loved our cake!

    Susan did an amazing job for our wedding cake. She really does use the best ingredients, and the cake was so delicious, the price is totally worth it! If you are on the edge about paying a lot of money for a cake for your wedding, I suggest just do it this once. Go for the flight (3 different layers of cake, 3 different buttercreams) and your guests will LOVE it. I figured "when will I ever get such a great cake in my life?" She did always seem busy through emails (couple word responses), which I figured probably saves her a ton of time, so don't take it personal. She is so lovely and friendly in person!

    We chose the flight: champagne butter fresh raspberries in chantilly...pistachio with orange sickle cream fresh strawberries...malted milk choc. cake with malted milk butter cream...

    Susan’s cakes are incredible pieces of art that look beautiful and also taste delectable. We first met Susan when she hosted a cake tasting at her home in Sonoma. She was able to accommodate all 6 of us, and gave us plenty of cake and even provided some delicious cake pops and coffee for the whole group. After tasting the sample of cakes, we immediately knew that we wanted her to make our wedding cake. Although the company is called Elegant Cheesecakes, her traditional cake is amazing. We decided to go with the flight of cakes, where you can choose 3 different frostings and 3 flavors that are incorporated into one slice – this was great as guests did not need to fight over who got what flavor. During the tasting, she provided us with ideas that she had used for past cakes and took the time to understand what we were aesthetically looking for in our cake. That evening, she emailed us a sketch of the cake design. The tasting was a wonderful experience and made us feel at ease.

    When we saw our cake the day of the wedding, we were very impressed. It must have taken her hours to handcraft the white chocolate roses that garnished our cake. Even further, for the monogrammed piece, she meticulously wrote our initials using the same font we used in our invitations. Another aspect we really like about Elegant Cheesecakes is the present cake - a smaller, separate cake that Susan gives the bride and groom to enjoy the night of the wedding. Even further, she gives a complementary cake to celebrate the bride and groom’s 1 year wedding anniversary. Overall, the fact that we often find ourselves craving her cake should attest to how amazing her creations are.

    Tastes that ignite the senses and presentation that engages the mind and soul are the hallmarks of Susan's work. Her team was responsive and helpful and the whole experience was one that made us feel special and part of the creative process. Susan's amazing insights and knowledge combined with culinary skills that defy description but have to be tasted resulted in the most wonderful wedding cake there has ever been or will be (except, of course, for yours).

    Works of art are pricey. Fine food created by master chefs are too. So that's the choice: Thomas Kincaid or Michelangelo. Competent and formulaic ... or inspiring and unforgettable. On your wedding day ... there can be only one choice.

    Susan created a wonderful wedding cake for us! it was a dream cake. she spent time with us to design the cake, was very attentive to what we did and did not want. She had great ideas.

    The cake was delicious, moist and full of flavor. she does not use fondant that is why we went with her. She uses white chocolate. It was a little steep in price but worth every penny. we had a lot of family and friends compliment the cake. We did a flight and it looked so elegant when it was served on the plate. We had 3 wonderful flavors that we created ourselves at the tasting. we cant wait to receive our one year anniversary cake.

    Thank You Susan and Elegant Cheese Cakes for making our dream wedding cake a reality!

    The cake was delicious,delicately designed. A little overpriced, but still acceptable. Communication is not perfect, but we got that cake at last.

    Elegant Cheese Cakes, LLC's reply:

    Sorry about pricing but fresh, good ingredients are expensive and if you consider fresh fruit it runs up the bill! We use imported chocolate paper for our detail fork and that is more delicious and taste alot better than the fondant alternative! No Fondant here at ECC!
    Our attention to detail is done by skilled seasoned professionals...so I guess that saying is true 'Beauty cost!' You only get married once so don't settle for less!
