SugarMama Bakery

I’ve always been the type to order a birthday cake from Safeway and call it a day. But I wanted to do something special for our daughter’s birthday. Todd went out of his way to work within our budget, suggesting realistic, budget-​friendly alternatives to my Pinterest-​driven cake dreams. He created a beautiful (and delicious!) «Little Mermaid» cake that was the hit of the party. He even delivers! Very impressed with both the service and the craftsmanship.

SugarMama Bakery did my grad party cake, and I had a strange request: i wanted a sloth on the cake. Gloria and Todd hella followed through. I didn’t really know what size came to get, and they walked me through the process. The cake arrived (Strawberry Delight with buttercream cream cheese frosting) and it was a hit! Everyone loved the sloth and wanted to eat it. The cake was moist and the frosting was just sweet enough, as per previous reviews. The only problem with the cake was that they misspelled the word «Mary.» A little odd, since I had confirmed the spelling in the email, but people just joked that I was getting my Mrs. Degree. But extremely satisfied with the deliciously beautiful cake!

I absolutely love these guys, the cake that they made for me was fantastic I am sorry I forgot to shoot it before we ate it but it was exactly perfect. It was for an office party for my boss they the cake was exactly as it should have been and the delivery was on time. I can’t say enough good things about these guys. I will definitely be ordering from them again for all of our office events.

Incredible cake design and flavor. They turned it around so quickly too.
You won’t be disappointed with using Sugar Mama

Thank you Sugar Mama for a great cake! I sent a logo and you did a great job replicating it. My marketing department loved the gesture. And yes it was delicious!

I know this is a little late review, but last year I made an order for my daughter’s birthday and it was last minute since we had just moved to the bay area and they also worked with my budget. The staff is extremely nice and understanding. They did an outstanding job with the cake. Everyone had asked me how I found that place and asked for their phone number. There was no fondont and everything was edible and healthy. I give it five stars and if there’s more I would give it without hesitation :) Definitely recommended for everyone.

I contacted this bakery very last minute and they were able to create an adorable Olaf cake for a girlfriend’s birthday party that same evening. The cake was absolutely delicious and we heard rave reviews from every single person there. I can’t wait for them to create my sons birthday cupcakes!

SugarMama Bakery was the centerpiece of our Big Game party!!! If I could give Gloria and Todd 50 stars, I would!
I contacted SugarMama Bakery about a week and a half before our big event. I was looking for a centerpiece presentation for our 70 person tailgate party. I threw out some ideas, but I left the details to Gloria and her team. They did an amazing job!!! Not only was the cake an amazing celebration of the Cal Bears spirit, it also tasted incredible (moist and flavorful!!!) Todd’s attention to detail in the design was flawless!
We went with the guava and it was delicious. Have you ever had cake that was so moist, you could almost eat the whole darn thing on your own? That was this cake. The cake was so well designed that I practically had all 70 people taking selfies with it. Her business cards that I left out were gone within 30 seconds of presenting the cake (and I didn’t just leave it out there, I waited until we had the biggest crowd built up and brought it out celebrity style).
Thank you Gloria and Todd for everything you did for our Big Game event. Next year we’ll crush the Cardinals (as designed in your amazing cake topping!)

I called Todd to order a last minute birthday cake for my son. He was very arrogant and cannot negotiate to customers .His answer would be checkout your local safeway or costco stores.

A few special occasions in life deserve an exceptional cake. My daughter’s Baptism was scheduled with very little time to prepare a party afterwards for family & friends. However, with only about two weeks notice, Todd @ SugarMama Bakery worked with me to design a gorgeous cake for her Luncheon Reception & it was scrumptious too! So many guests asked me about where the cake came from. Not inexpensive, but truly worth every penny! It turned out to be a work of art that also made the palate sing as well. Will def’n have other special occasion cakes in our future from SugarMama Bakery!

I am so glad that I gave Sugarmama a try. They did an amazing job with my daughter’s Frozen themed 4^th birthday cake. Not only was it super cute, it tasted delicious! I ordered the Strawberry Dream. The cake was so moist and the strawberries were not soggy. I really loved the taste of their frosting and they use white chocolate instead of fondant so this made the entire cake taste yummy! I would definitely use them again. Thanks Sugarmama!

I needed someone to create a specific wedding dress shaped layout of cupcakes that I found online for a wedding shower. After reading SugarMama’s reviews online, I emailed Gloria to see if she could pull it off.
Communication was easy. Gloria was great, and everything was taken care of online. I didn’t even have to go to the shop! I paid via paypal and the cupcakes were delivered to the shower. Everyone raved about the strawberry filled and the piña colada cupcakes. I left the icing decision up to Gloria, and whatever it was, it was perfect. Not too sweet. I don’t even like icing, but I loved this kind.
The cupcake wedding cake was a complete hit, and I am very grateful to Gloria and SugarMama bakery for making the day so much easier for me.

Contacted SugarMama Bakery to get a cake for my friend’s 30^th. I appreciated that they were able to accomodate a last minute request (called about 5 other bakeries who were all fully booked).
Todd was pretty helpful in placing my order and understanding the design concept I was aiming for… email confirmation and payment process all went very well & smoothly.
The cake design came out kinda close to what I expected — (see photo of cake in the shape of cupcake with beach theme at top). I do think a little more detail couldve gone into it — like the waves couldve been more 3D like, and just a little extra effort in design (it was pretty expensive). It was an 8″ cake. It was huge, maybe 3 layers. The best part though was the taste. I am not even a fan of cake but I couldnt get enough of this cake. I had chosen Red Velvet — the rest I left up to the bakery. The red velvet was so moist and delicious. The filling, I believe, was cheesecake; it was super yummy. Ive noticed most bakers put a lot of emphasis on the design of the cake yet the attention to taste completely lacks. Theres gotta be a balance. Everyone at the party absolutely loved it though.
I most likely will contact SugarMama bakery again for other cakes in the future.

Let me start by saying, I love SugarMama Bakery! Gloria and her team did a outstanding job with our wedding cake. Gloria and Todd will take your vision of your cake and create a masterpiece of a cake. Our finished product was indescribable and the attention to detail just made the wedding cake even more special.
We ordered a three tiered cake– top tier: Chocolate Decadence, middle tier: Hawaiian Wedding cake and bottom tier: Red Velvet and two half sheets of Chocolate Caramel and the Hawaiian Wedding Cake. (Yes, this is a lot of cake but who does not love cake?) Their cakes are not your normal cake. The cakes are tall & dense and just heavenly! I have family and friends who are not Red Velvet Cake fans LOVE SugarMama’s Red Velvet cake and the same for the Hawaiian Wedding Cake (coconut and pineapple). Gloria and Todd have a great sense of ordering the right amount of cake for your size of party. I can’t wait to order another cake from SugarMama Bakery.

I have been waiting to write this review, thinking maybe the managers would do the right thing and contact me to fix the issues we had with our cake. But nope, so now I want everyone to know how crooked this bakery is.
I called Todd for a last minute bachelorette/​bachelor party 10 inch round cake. I sent him a few photos of the invitation and told him to do his thing (trusting he was the professional here). We got a strawberry delight cake covered in vanilla bean frosting and chocolate or something with pretty crumby toppings. First of all, if the cakes not going to fit in the box — consider getting a bigger box or taping it really high.
I met Todd at a Starbucks near my home, he was with a woman, both friendly. He showed me the cake and it was whatever, I had no time to explain to him the cake design was ugly — I was in a rush it was do-​able. He didn’t mention that the cake was bigger then the box and to basically keep it open on the trip home. We never opened the box after he showed us the cake. Our travel back home was only 10 minutes, nothing smashed the cake or touched the box it sat on my sisters lap.
We got home to find the top of the cake (little design) had completely slid off the top and stuck on the box! The number Todd provided me to contact him directly was WRONG, and sending him a photo of the disaster through email did nothing. I finally called the store to let him know what happen. His response was «well I showed you the cake and it was fine». What kind of customer service is that? He didn’t offer me anything other then for me to drive back to Livermore for him to design the top again. I honestly know the top was just put on there last minute because why would it have just slid off?
I went to Savemart, yes SAVEMART bakery and got a way better design then Sugarmana bakery did for me. I will never recommend this place to my friends or family, save your time & money.
P.S — I payed $ 70 for this cake!

Another triumph from SugarMama! Our next event was a 4^th birthday party for my daughter. We had an MadHatter Tea Party theme and Gloria made AMAZING cupcakes that were the perfect colorful and tasty decoration I was hoping for.
Chocolate cupcakes filled with ganache. Vanilla cupcakes filled with lemon curd. Both topped with brightly colored buttercream frosting and delicate pearl details and I had one happy kiddo and a houseful of delighted guests.
She also brought banana breads of varying flavors, and some delectable zucchini bread, which saved this momma from having to make another thing for the party. I was pooped already! There wasn’t much left over at the end of the party, that would be my only complaint. ;)
Thank you SugarMama! Another bunch of happy customers. :) You will be hearing from us again soon!

SugarMama Bakery creates some of the most extraordinary desserts imaginable! The flavors truly shine through, and there’s not an overabundance of sweetness to get in the way. The designs are as fabulous as the tastes, and I highly recommend Gloria and Todd. For the perfect combination of flavor, creativity, and service, SugarMama is the way to go.

I tasted SugarMama several months ago and KNEW it was the perfect cake for my daughters birthday. I emailed Todd a few pictures of the theme we were looking for and we couldn’t have been more thrilled with the result. He worked within our budget and delivered our cake on the day of the event to our door. We received many compliments on the taste and design of the cake. We will definitely be using them again!

I am a very tough cupcake critic mainly cause im a baker myself… these cupcakes are amazing. I was looking high and low for cupcake place to make cupcakes for admins day. A few people had an issue with writing names on cupcakes… not sugarmamas… her response was quick, easy to work with… and Pina Colada cupcakes are amazing… fresh coconut and pineapple in it… frosting is homemade cream cheese and the cupcakes are moist!!! Will continue to do business with her whenever i need cupcakes. (see pictures)

For a recent party, I looked up Unilocal & found SugarMama. I decided on the ½ sheet Strawberry Dream cake– fresh strawberries with vanilla bean custard. Other reviews mentioned that the cakes weren’t too sweet, and I agree. The cake was moist and spongy like a tres leches cake, the vanilla bean complimented the strawberries very well without overpowering the natural sweetness of the strawberries. The cake remained moist after 4 days since a crowd of 40 didn’t manage to finish it. The crowd was impressed! Also, the white modeling chocolate used to cover the cake was tastier than fondant. It was a large and tall cake– weighing a good 20+lbs.
I also had a particular design I’d wanted and showed Gloria a photo of it. The design was better than I had imagined. I asked for peaches and assumed the peaches would be fully fondant or white modeling chocolate. To our surprise when we cut it open, they had cake inside. The peaches were also sprayed with a glittery shimmer. All in all, they also delivered it to my house. Thank you SugarMama!
