Kitty Wong Pastry Shop

Took me way too long to write this review, but Kitty’s guitar cake that she made for my fiancé’s 40^th surprise birthday party was absolutely OUTSTANDING! Not only was it incredibly delicious (red velvet inside — moist and dreamy), but the presentation was phenomenal. It was a hit and everyone at the party needed to know who made the awesome cake. She was incredibly friendly, professional, on time with delivery and she couldn’t have made the process any easier for me — an absolute delight in every way! Will ask her to do cakes for every special occasion of mine from now on; she exceeds expectations!

The review is overdue. She did a great job on my daughters cake! It was beautiful and it also tasted delicious. She’s clearly very talented.

Kitty made this cake for my wife’s baby shower. The cake came out looking great and tasted wonderful. We opted for coconut with mango filling for the top tier and chocolate with hazelnut filling for the bottom. Would definitely go back for next big event.

After reading the other Unilocal reviews I reached out to Kitty in email with a picture of a cake and date/​time of event. Kitty exceeded my expectations and delivered a beautiful great tasting cake! (Which received many compliments)

Kitty made my daughter a Nightmare Before Christmas birthday cake (her favorite movie) and it was nothing less than a work of art! She LOVED it! It was so beautiful that we didn’t want to cut into it.
Kitty is a fabulous artist and the cake was delicious! I would give more stars if I could!

Kitty Wong created (2) FABULOUS cakes for my husband’s 50^th birthday /​Super Bowl XLIX combo party! I requested that Kitty make a Nike Sneaker shoe & a football helmet. I sent her a couple of photos since this would be Kitty’s first time in creating a sneaker or helmet cakes. Kitty personally delivered the cake to our home on the day of the event and… Her cakes far EXCEEDED my expectations. Our guests had not seen such expertly done specialty cakes and my husband was very happy. Be prepared to pay top dollar but if you are looking for that extra special element to your party I wholeheartedly recommend Kitty Wong Pastry Shop.

Kitty has the most amazing cakes ever! Our school auction had her money stacks cake, that really looked like stacks of $ 100 bills. It was the first to be chosen and raised $ 600 for the school. It was scrumptious to boot! I definitely will go to her for all my special cakes. Thank you Kitty.

Kitty made my wedding cake and it was absolute perfection!!! I found Kitty through Unilocal and after seeing the pictures of her masterpieces online, I knew that I couldn’t go wrong.
Since I live out of town and my reception was in Walnut Creek, the majority of my conversations with Kitty was done through email. I simply gave Kitty our wedding colors (navy & fuchsia) and explained how I wanted to incorporate the houndstooth pattern into our wedding cake. Kitty quickly emailed me back her vision of the cake.
My (now) husband and I met up with Kitty a few weeks before our wedding and she gave us several cake samples. We decided to go with a chocolate cake with a coffee caramel filling. The thing I loved the most about Kitty was she listened exactly to how I wanted the cake to look. I told her that we’re not big fans of fondant, so she used a buttercream frosting instead.
Kitty was an absolute joy to work with. She was always prompt to respond. All of our guests were amazed with how beautiful our cake looked and how delicious it was!!! Better yet, Kitty captured exactly how I envisioned our cake would look, with a navy houndstooth pattern and a fuchsia cake topper.
I highly recommend Kitty … you will absolutely enjoy working with her!!! I could tell from the first time I contacted her that she is passionate about her craft and the finished product says it all.

We had Kitty bake a cherry blossom themed three tier wedding cake, with citrus/​almond flavor. The cake turned out to be completely amazing. We were blown away by the craftsmanship and attention to detail on the piece. Kitty was a joy to work with and I believe that she truly cares about her craft and product. We gave her a photo exemplar and her creation was like a carbon copy, with certain revisions that we requested. In sum, I highly recommend her and would not hesitate to commission another one of her creations for special events. The almost unanimous five star reviews on Unilocal are indicative of the quality of her work.

This review is WAY overdue! I was first referred to Kitty when I was shopping around for a baker for my son’s 2^nd birthday. Because I am an event producer, I always like to go over the top with things (yes, even if he won’t remember it!). I even had custom spun cotton candy that was flown in from Vegas (with edible glitter) for this party. We also had macarons, chocolate covered strawberries, half of grandma’s cooking and half catered. So along with my party planning, I definitely had to have the perfect cake for my little boy. We decided to have a cake made with our baby boy on top, surrounded by all of our family’s dogs. It was a two tier vanilla chiffon cake. She nailed it!
Fast forward a few months, I had her custom make a cake for my husband’s birthday. It was a cake of his car with money on the bottom of it! I sent her a photo of his car and i told her to replicate it– everything down to the carbon fiber body kit was spot on! (And the money on the bottom was actually edible paper too!) Everyone was blown away at the cake! I went with vanilla chiffon again and she totally blew me away.
Kitty never fails to impress and her work speaks for itself. She is very detailed and will listen to what you want.
She is a bit on the pricy side, but I assure you, her talent is worth EVERY penny!

Love her work! She listened to what I wanted came and set up. And was really nice w all my questions.

My positive experience with Kitty started right off the bat with the tasting. Because of some scheduling difficulties on my end, she prepared a tasting box for me and my fiancé to try at home. Unfortunately, my fiancé was sick that night and we had plans the following night so we couldn’t try out the cakes and fillings until two days later. To our surprise, everything tasted AMAZING even two days later and having just taken them out of the fridge. We tried a couple other bakeries just to compare, but they all tasted like saw dust and were overly sweet compared to the light, fresh cakes Kitty made. The fillings were delicious — even ones like citrus which I am usually not a fan of. She worked with us to get the serving sizes just right and WELL within our budget. The cake looked exactly like the picture I had given her and we received several compliments from our guests. I’d HIGHLY recommend Kitty. She’s an amazing baker and artist! I’ve posted a pic of our cake here as well (the one with the S&R). THANKS KITTY!

Kitty exceeded all our expectations. She went far beyond what we imagined. For our son’s cake, she didn’t just copy some images or toys from my son’s favorite cartoon, she researched and watched the cartoon herself and came up with an original idea from one of his favorite episodes. The detail was so amazing we sometimes forgot it was a cake, that is until we took a bite, which was just as delicious as the cake looked.

Kitty is absolutely amazing and so talented! She made my daughter’s 13^th birthday cake (chocolate chiffon with oreo swiss meringue buttercream) and my mom’s 65^th birthday cake (marble chiffon with espresso buttercream). The cakes looked and tasted GREAT! The cakes were not overly sweet. It was perfect! She is so easy to work with (design and budget). I don’t think I can go back to regular cakes anymore. Thank you again so much Kitty! I can’t wait to see more of your designs. =)

Kitty — Thank you for making a special Frozen themed cake, cupcake, and cookies were a big hit at our party. All the kids were delighted and the parents were amazed as well. The cakes and cookies looked perfect and the taste was surprisingly great — not too sweet and just the right texture. Our daughter loved your artistry and was really overjoyed. Here’s a tip: next time leave more business cards behind since we ran out very quickly with all the parents asking us :-)

I never write reviews but have to when the product and service were this amazing.
I started off trying to find a great cake maker that could accomplish two things for my nieces cake, 1. Fantastic look 2. Amazing flavor. Asked for recommendations and they all fell short, came to Unilocal for help, and came across Kitty Wong and her pretty cakes.
We started off our communication via email and she was prompt, thorough and professional. I gave her a concept and she asked for more photos and information. Our concept was My Little Pony with a rainbow of cupcakes, on Easter Sunday was so afraid she wouldn’t be able to help us with such short notice but she luckily said she had the early morning open. She was also kind enough to ask me about details on the cake that I had just not thought about. Long list of flavors of cake and frosting, anything to please the palette.
Fast forward to our pick up date and I can not fully express how gorgeous the cake was. Everyone raved about the way it looked and so many people asked about who did it. The birthday girl immediately knew who the character was and was so happy, the cake was a perfect rainbow of tastefully executed color. Not detail overlooked. The cupcakes were half strawberry, half chocolate. The cake was a banana with a cinnamon cream cheese, So fresh and good, no store bought recipe here. I posted on my Facebook of course and had the same response.
No lumpy fondant, details were life like, flavor was amazing, service was spectacular. Thank you so much Kitty Wong for making my first cake purchase so easy and making my niece a cake she could not imagine!

Kitty — thank you so so much for such a fabulous cake!
If you need a cake designed and made in the East Bay — this is the place to order from. Her work is fantastic. She was so easy to deal with via email — I live in New York and was ordering a cake for my mom’s birthday party where I was going to fly in the day before. She immediately sketched the cake based off the invitations I designed and when it arrived, it was even more wonderful in person. Everything is completely custom, so you are not forced to make any compromises. She has so many flavors to choose from — I ordered chocolate cake with chocolate hazelnut frosting and it was delicious — moist, flavorful, and not too sweet. The details on the cake were the best part — an edible wafer paper rose and fondant design.
Everyone at the party could not stop talking about the cake. It was a huge hit. I gave her name out to everyone there. A++!!

Kitty made the perfect birthday cake for my grandson’s 1^st birthday: a plump little dragon riding the waves on his surfboard.
Around the bottom of the cake were the whimsical fishes, seashells, coral, octopus, and seaweeds found on the ocean floor. The cake not only looked like a set from a movie, but it was soooooo yummy. My grandson especially liked the strawberry filling because the berries were diced just the right size for him to eat!
Well, Kitty’s creation was the hit of the birthday celebration. Can’t wait till next year.
We’ll be recommending you to family and friends.

I’m so happy to have worked with Kitty! My friend had her birthday coming up and plans changed last minute, I wanted to get her a really cute cake as part of her birthday present, she had been eyeing a Chanel bag for a while and I saw a few ideas for Chanel handbag cakes. It was a bit short notice, I needed the cake by June 8^th and started my search on the 1^st (I know, way to procrastinate).
I e-​mailed six different bakeries/​cake decorators in the area with my time frame, what I was looking for, etc. Out of the six e-​mails, I only received 2 replies. One saying there was no way, they were completely booked, and a call from Kitty the same day. She was super accommodating, offered suggestions for the cake design, and responded back to my e-​mails and questions almost immediately.
Needless to say the Chanel cake turned out BEAUTIFUL, everyone loved it and the birthday girl was very very happy. The detail was perfect and I definitely couldn’t have asked for anything more. I look forward to working with Kitty again very soon. I wish I could give more then 5 stars! I uploaded a photo of the cake, there was a little dent but that happened at the restaurant when they were taking it out of the box, grr!
Thank you Kitty!

I was looking for a top notch baker to make mini cupcakes and petit fours for a recent party.
Requirements for the cupcakes/​petit fours:
They had to be beautiful
They had to be tasty
They had to fit in my budget
I looked all over Contra Costa County and the Tri-​Valley area. Most bakers could not or would not live up to my requirements. Searching Unilocal again I noticed Kitty Wong. After looking at the photos I gave her a call. Kitty not only met my requirements she exceeded them. The mini cupcakes and petit fours were tiny works of art that tasted delicious.
Kitty uses fresh, local, and organic ingredients, much as possible.
Kitty Wong is truly a gifted pastry artisan. You will not be disappointed.
