Sugah Puddin’s Red Velvet Cakes and Cupcakes

So I was hosting a graduation picnic for the conclusion of my grad program– and of course put off ordering a cake until the last minute. By the grace of Google, I came across Briana’s business after several unsuccessful calls to bakeries asking if they were willing to make a cake with less than 48 hours notice.
Briana was willing to help and made me a beautiful half sheet cake. My mouth is watering just remembering it! Not too sweet and very delicious cream cheese frosting, and the red velvet cake was moist and flavorful. Also she added an adorable touch with little graduation caps for decoration. I’m so pleased with how the cake turned out, loved the customer service, and hope to order another cake or cupcakes next time I’m celebrating.

what a great experience! Friends decided at the last minute to have a «Red» Party on Valentine’s Day. One of the host had, had a birthday the week before so we decided to bring a red velvet cake decorated for the birthday. But then the issue of where to get a cake. I turned to Unilocal for help. When I searched the east bay for Red Velvet Cake, Ms Sugah Puddin was one of the top suggestions. Then I read her reviews and wow, was I impressed. Then I called her on the phone and was even more impressed. We worked out the details of what I wanted and the details of payment. She takes PayPal. I needed the cake for the next day. But later that night the cake was finished and she text’d me a photo of the cake. She met us in the Michael’s parking lot in Emeryville and handed off the cake. At the party everyone enjoyed the cake and the story. The cake was perfect and delicious. Ms. Sugah is a good resource and a very nice person.

If I coulda given more than 5 stars… I woulda. I called 24 hours in advance (which I thought was short notice) and she easily accommodated me! The Cruffles… Soooooo delicious. Basically, red velvet truffle! I am hooked! Briana was a true pleasure to meet. Let alone to do business with… I will be calling again soon! Thank you !

I needed a cake that would feed close to 20 people within 4 days — Briana said no problem. I wanted a red velvet cake with a holiday theme for my friends birthday in December — Briana said no problem. Not only did she send me images of what the poinsettias would look like on the cake, she helped me select the arrangement of flowers and what I wanted to say.
We had a little difficulty with coordinating a pick-​up time, so Ms. Suga Puddin herself delivered the cake to my home. She had it wrapped and prepped in a box ready for travel. I was traveling so the cake needed to be secure. Once I opened it and saw the beautiful creation she made for us, I could not have been more pleased. The cake was moist, soft and designed exactly the way I requested.

Ordered Birthday/​NYE cake the day before. She was very accommodating. Not to mention the cake was delicious! moist even days later. The Icing was very light and fluffy by far the best cream cheese icing I’ve tasted ever.

Hi People,
I made a request for 2 cakes to Sugar Puddin on short short notice and what did Ms. Puddin do? She came through like a champ and my hero!!! Ms. Puddin created a Velvet cake with aTropical /​Hawaiian theme which my Daughter and all the Guests Loved. The 2^nd cake was for my son’s Birthday the next day, yes I had a busy week-​end.

You can not go wrong with Cakes or Cupcakes from Ms. Sugah Puddin !!

I thought I’d give it a try given I was on a hunt for the best red velvet in town. What more can you say when the reviews were nearly perfect by lots of people so I placed an order without hesitation. Sadly, its not the best in town or in the bay. Hats off to the owner though, she was very prompt at getting back to you and the transaction was smooth for the most part. She was a a little late for the pick-​up but no biggie.
I’m always a supporter of local business and entrepeneurs who have a passion for their work. The actual product well I would say is ok. The frosting was good definitely one of the better ones that I have had. Its light, not super or overly sweet and you can actually taste a hint of cream cheese. I’m a fan of the frosting but the cake was unfortunately dry and crumbly. I was bummed actually really bummed. I also had her customize the order and I cannot vouch for her fondant work or her penmanship of the message. It looked like something someone or myself could have made at home. Presentation wise it was not pretty however, I’m willing to see past the artistry on food if the food is out of this world but unfortunately I cant say I will order from her again.
It was sweet of her to follow-​up on her product and I provided her with honest feedback. I appreciated the fact that she stands by her work and quality of food so she gave me a dozen of red velvet cupcakes on the house to redeem herself. Ok… so the second batch was WAY better the than original order. I would order from her again if I was in the area and wanted red velvet. Her cake is moist and fluffy/​airy. Frosting was delicious! Just dont ask her to do any custom designs.

One of the best red velvet cakes I have. It’s not too sweet and moist.

I ordered cupcakes for a friend while I was down in L.A. The communication was seamless and Sugah Puddin was endlessly helpful. Her commitment to both her craft and her service make her the best baker on the block.
Also, my friend saved me a cupcake which I ate as soon as he picked me up from SFO. It was the best cupcake I’ve ever eaten in my life.

i got a cake for my sons 3^rd birthday and it was deeeellliiicccioussss :) we loved 5 stars all the way!!! and she is great!!! thanks so much for the dinosaur cake!!!

I ordered 40 red velvet cupcakes and they were delicious. My coworkers had recommended her cupcakes, and they were right. Those cupcakeswere gone so fast that I should have ordered more. I’ll be back to try more of her other cupcakes.

One of the best cakes I’ve ever eaten. Couldn’t and shouldn’t pass up this wonderful person who puts her heart and soul into baking. Personally delivers your cake, with a wonderful smile and personality. Definitely ordering in the future!

Unfortunately, I haven’t tasted these famous red velvet cakes yet. My review is on Briana’s wonderful personality and great customer service! My daughter’s boyfriend just moved to Berkeley 3 days ago and was going to be alone on his birthday. She made her famous (and delicious, he says!) red velvet cupcakes and delivered them to him at work! All on a day’s notice! She followed up by sending my daughter a picture of a smiling boyfriend that made us all happy! I will definitely order from her again and feel like I have made a new friend!

Briana ‘put her foot in that cake.’ For those of you who do not have Southern roots, that means her cakes are divine! I got a cake for a close friend’s baby shower — she’d asked for a Southern themed brunch and nothing is more Southern than red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting! The cake was light, moist and delicious! In the past, I’ve had red velvet with an icky food coloring after taste… none of that here! Importantly there was just enough frosting in the middle — not too much, which would overpower the deliciousness of the cake itself.
Briana was prompt and meticulous in her communication — confirming by email and text the writing on the cake, frosting colors and the delivery time and location. She’s also a lovely and joyful human being. I love to support small businesses in the Bay and I will definitely be a repeat customer of Sugah Puddin’s Red Velvet Cakes and Cupcakes!

Ta-​mei asked Ma-​tsu: ‘What is Buddha?’
Ma-​tsu said: ‘This very mind is Buddha.‘
Briana is a Cake-​Making Buddha. Her work is a labor of love to which she brings her whole self. Her red velvet cakes are the best I’ve tasted (and I’ve tasted a lot!) and her service is exceptional. I have ordered cakes and cupcakes from her for my daughter’s past 2 birthdays and expect to be ordering them for the next 22!

She is starting with 10 stars the cake will be here tomorrow, but you can tell that she is passionate and with that passion I know that the cake is going to be amazing! I will update you all tomorrow:)
Overdue Update ~ the cake was so good! Everyone was asking where it came from. I will surely be ordering cake again for future events! P. S. She Aldo delivers:)

I ordered a red velvet cake for my 22^nd birthday. Unfortunately, I got intoxicated too quickly to have more cake. Nonetheless, the first piece that I taste was pretty good. My guest all enjoyed the cake as well. Asking to take some home. My favorite red velvet cake is made in Brooklyn, NY, but Sugah Puddin’s is definitely a contender. Moist cake, not-​overly sweet icing. I enjoyed it, and the cake was decorated beautifully. Briana cares about her customers, and maintaining a good business. Passion is a bit overboard at times, but it’s all in love! Sample her products if you can.

While attending an event at Cotton Mills Studios, someone mentioned that I had to try the red velvet cupcakes. As I approached the table where the cupcakes were being sold, I honestly wasn’t expecting much. I was pleasantly surprised. These are, hands down, the best red velvet cupcakes I’ve ever had. I only intended on buying one, but I ended up leaving with ten. All the flavors are on point with consistency and sweetness, and the frosting is the best part. I chatted with Briana for a bit; she has a great personality. I want to try the cake next!

Awesome service and awesome cakes!
I ordered a half sheet red velvet for my parents’ surprise 25^th Anniversary. Briana did a stellar job in making sure that the cake would turn out just the way I wanted. She made it extra special for such a special benchmark for my family.
When we started serving the cake to family and friends, it went by really fast! Everyone complimented the beautiful cake for the way it tasted. Moist with a cream cheese based icing.
I will definitely order from Briana again.

OMG Indeed! The best melt in your mouth cupcake I’ve ever had in my life. What a story too. I had mine with both vanilla and hazelnut whip cream and it rocked my world.
I bought a dozen and ended up bringing only 9 into the office with me. Haha, that good! Reminded me of the commercial with the Holiday 5 pack from Heineken.
