Euro Pastry & Chocolate Fountain

I came here very last minute to get my Mom a cheesecake for her birthday. The owner was extremely accommodating and helpful. He showed me plenty of options and made her cake personalized and beautiful with a «Happy Birthday» writing on the cake. I will be coming here again! Thank you! Can’t wait to taste the cake

Urs and his team always put out a high quality product. Their website may seem a little old school but they put their efforts in the cakes and desserts where they should be right?

The quality of the cake and the flavors cannot be beat! I have been in the business of weddings for a long time and can say without hesitation this is the best tasting cake I have ever had. We used Chef Urs for our wedding cake and for various family events and each and every time have numerous guests ask who made the cake and get contact information.
The decoration of the cake is not as spectacular as some I have seen (and frankly most of those over the top cakes may look stunning bur are almost inedible)
They make a quality product, and once I add a few fresh flowers and touches I have gotten nothing but compliments. Every person I have sent to Chef Urs has thanked me, and each bride who has used their service has loved the cake.

Chef Urs and his company are awesome! They made my wedding cupcakes exactly how I wanted them to look. All I had to do was show him a picture of what I had in mind and voila! Instant masterpiece. Not only did the cupcakes look amazing — they tasted like heaven.
Don’t waste your time anywhere else. Chef Urs knows his stuff and he’s very funny and nice. Happy bride right here!

I really like this place. Their cakes are really good and the owner is a nice person and will improvise to make your cake better. I wanted their strawberry mango cake on short notice (instantly) but they only had ¾ths of the cake, the owner turned it into a pacman themed cake on my suggestion and also gave me a discount. Highly recommend this place.

I can’t say enough about how great Urs and company were. Cakes are often forgettable at weddings. They generally look great but only taste O.K. We had a tasting here and at three other vendors. Euro Pastry flavors were head and shoulders above the competition. If you’re looking for taste, this IS the place to go. We decided to use cakes as part of the centerpieces for all the tables at the wedding. We chose three flavors (lemon, strawberry mango, chocolate) that were all a hit with guests. Further, it encouraged interaction between guests to try flavors from other tables.
Bottom line is that Euro Pastry delivered an amazingly high quality of cakes in a professional manner for a price that was more than reasonable. We will be using them for the rest of our lives.

Delighted we chose Euro Pastry! Family friends suggested we consider them for our wedding cake and I’m so thankful they did. It was amazingly delicious and gorgeous! On our wedding day Chef Urs delivered the cake himself. I ordered extra flowers and he used them to finish decorating it right there on the spot. We just celebrated a year and got to see Chef Urs again for our «cake top». I love that he offers a fresh cake of what we had at our wedding a year later to celebrate. Just as delicious and beautiful as last year and he’s always a delight to see! Thank you Chef Urs!
Finally getting around to adding this review because it’s the second time we’ve been back since getting our «cake top». We ordered a cake for my Aunt’s 60^th birthday and now are ordering one for my daughter’s Baptism. We’ll be in to see you soon Chef Urs!
Can’t figure out how to add a photo, but when I do I’ll add photos of what he made for us. Happy cake hunting everyone!

I had the pleasure of working with Urs 10 years ago when he created the most beautiful wedding cake for me based on a photo that I brought in for him. He actually ended up designing it more beautifully than the picture. The cake was so awesome — aesthetically and flavor wise –that it is still some of my best memories from the day and some of my favorite photos in my album. :)
(I was introduced to him after I used the awesome floral shop a few doors down and she had a few slices in her refrigerator that he asked her to have me sample — great idea and I was sold!!!)
Our anniversary cake was a black forest cake that we enjoyed with my parents and they still remember it too.
I have had the pleasure of enjoying his brownies and even his amazing lava cakes over the past years (and I was in 2 months ago picking up 6 of them) and I am convinced that he is an amazing pasty chef. I would recommend him and welcome anyone sending me a private message with any additional questions (or concerns about some of these negative reviews).
I am not sure what I like more about this shop — the deliciousness of his creations or Urs. Urs and his staff have always been kind and courteous to me and Urs really does have a cool personality.

I agree with the other reviews. I used them at my wedding as well. I provided them with the pictures of my cake and cupcakes. The cake was decent. The cupcake was not even close to what I was promised!!! The cupcake look like some store bought crap! Definitely not worth $ 5 a freakin cupcake!!! On top of that they were extremely rude at the setup. If I were you I wouldn’t count on them period!

I used Euro Pastry for my wedding cake and was very unhappy with the result! I gave them a picture of what I wanted and was assured that they could recreate the cake from the picture for my reception! When I arrived on the day of my wedding I was horrified at what I saw!!! The design of the bottom half of the cake looked absolutely nothing like the picture and to make matters worse it just looked like they slapped some frosting on and knew nothing about how to professionally decorate a cake for something as special as a wedding! They should have been honest with me if they felt that the design was beyond what they could accomplish! When I called to discuss my concern with the end product I felt that the owner was rude and not willing to help resolve the issue! I would not recommend using this company for your special event needs!

If only I could give them a negative star… so I ordered a cake customized cake two weeks prior to the party it was for. I called in the order & gave specific directions as to how I wanted the baby shower cake. When I arrived an hour late, my cake was still being finished & it was a horrible disaster. I wanted fondant, with baby blue ribbon & chocolate letters that spell out CONGRATULATIONS. The writing looked like a child had written it, then it was left out in the sun to melt… then applied to my cake. They also added random letters to the cake in PINK, where they got the pink from, I had no idea. I asked the OLDER gentleman why they added another color when I specifically asked for brown & blue only… he said he’d fix it & give him 5 mins. He came back with chocolate numbers & proceeded to add a # 7, 8, 9 & 6 to the cake in chocolate. This really set me off now… so I asked him why they would do this & not at least call to make sure it was ok. He was full of attitude, I expressed my unhappiness to him. He plainly said take it or leave it, I don’t need your business. I was totally shocked & by this time in tears, as my cousins baby shower was in a matter of 1.5 hours & I had NO CAKE. I left there upset & exchanged words with the very rude man. I don’t know how they still have a business up & running, but I WILL NEVER GO BACK THERE. Nor recommend them to ANYONE. I told everyone at the baby shower about my hideous find & told them to NEVER order ANYTHING from them EVER. I will def. post a picture of the FINISHED or so called FINISHED PRODUCT. HORRRRRIBLE!

For my wife’s birthday I ordered a «strawberry & Mango» cake from them. I should say the cake was one of the best I had ever and they delivered a super fresh cake.
John and Urs are extremely friendly and kind people!
I initially ordered a cake for about 25guests but after I placed the order I had to add about 10more extra guests, I informed them of the new count (i.e. 35people+). When the cake was delivered, it was looking fabulous and it was size to cater to at-​least for 50 people easily! Best part was John charged me original cake price (i.e. the 25 people cake price)…
All the guests who came to the party were raving about the taste and were coming back for multiple servings… I would highly recommend Euro pastry both for the excellent tasting cakes and also for their customer service!

Please don’t try the Lava Cake once, otherwise you will be forced to have it again.
And while you are savoring, don”t hesitate to try the macaroons, or other fine pastry; you will never regret, unless you are looking for a fine line (or a finer line)

our wedding cake was as everything that i pictured it to be. not only did it look good, but it tasted just as good. we went to several bakeries and decided to go with euro pastry for our wedding cake because it was so moist and chef urs was so professional. we went with two flavors for our cake, a duo white/​chocolate cake and and a white cake with strawberry filling with a mango mousse.
they made our cake exactly what we (well, more like i. haha) pictured it to be, and our custom made cake topper went perfect with it… it definitely was a highlight at our reception. i would definitely recommend them for anyone. plus, chef urs has an awesome accent… he is just cool to talk to. :)

Really hidden non retail place to order cakes. All the flavors are delish. The ratio of cake, filling and frosting are perfection. We ordered a strawberry mango mousse cake for my bro’s birthday. It was $ 32 for I believe it was the 9in. Everyone that helped us was super nice.
The reason why I give it 4 stars is because of the cake décor. It was very plain. I had to snazz it up myself at home with fruit and sprinkles. The cake was so good though, next time I will ask for it plain and take care of it myself. I would order from them again!!! Just wish they could make their stuff look nicer.

What a sore disappointment and a waste of time. I never knew until I came here for a wedding cake consultation what it was like to want to give a business zero stars. I guess I’ll have to compromise with a lone star as their cake is rather tasty. But that’s really all they have going for themselves at this so-​called establishment.
I initially contacted Euro Pastry at the Bridal Bazaar. Their cake was moist and tasty and the strawberry mango cake seemed to tantalize everyones taste buds. At last my search for the perfect wedding cake was over… or so I thought.
The week following the Bridal Bazaar I called to set up an appointment to order our cake. Chef Urs said we could come in the following Tuesday at 11am. We waited excitedly all week to mark off one more to-​do on our list of wedding plans and my fiancé and I even took time off work for this occasion. (We also had to drive a substantial distance as we commuted from North County and South Bay) We arrived at their establishment only to find that Chef Urs wasn’t there, nor had he told any of his staff that we were to be expected. A frazzled but friendly girl greeted us and apologized profusely as the younger guy in the kitchen cut up frozen cake slices for us to take home to sample. The girl starts to take our order information yet despite our insisting on a cake for 50 guests (small wedding) she puts our order down for 75. I have no idea how it is audibly possible to mistake 50 for 75 on three occasions but ok… I’ll let it slide. For now.
At last Chef Urs waltzes in, offering no apology for his tardiness, perhaps because he didn’t even recall setting the appointment. Finally he comes over to talk to us about our cake plans and asks about our chosen venue. He comments on how small the venue is (duh we’re having a small luncheon for family. Hence why only 50 servings are necessary.) And how they can supposedly be disorganized and «all over the place». Thanks for the unsolicited advice but at least they can keep their appointments on time. :) How about minding our own business… literally and figuratively? Just sayin’ :)
At last he quotes a price. Please bear in mind they state in their brochure and website that they start at 3.50/serving. And that they say that it doesn’t matter which cakes you chose, the price remains the same. All of a sudden he wants to jump the price up to start at 3.95/serving, and it goes up from there depending on which cakes are chosen, and which design we want. I grit my teeth and bear it as I’m thinking my fiancé was still wanting to be there, but as soon as Urs leaves to print the image of the design we exchange those intuitive glances letting the other know we’re done with this place.
In that instant I got up and told Urs that we were going to leave to which he responded «That’s fine. It’s up to you.» AND POINTS TOWARD THE DOOR. This guy’s business must obviously be doing well because he didn’t need ours. This is unfortunately just the gist of our experience at Euro Pastry as delving into all the minor details would entail me having to write a longer novel than I already have.
After posting a status on facebook I got a response from a friend saying she ordered her cake here, and they screwed up the color scheme and design. I guess this appalling tale of poor customer service was a blessing in disguise. Yes their cakes are tasty, which is why I am compromising by rating with the least amount of stars allowed. However it is my belief that if you can’t keep an appointment, I can’t expect you to remember to get my cake to the venue on time.
My only regret is not taking that box of frozen sample cakes home for dessert.
*We ended up Unilocaling other bakeries as to continue our quest for a tasty cake. I’ll be posting a rad review about the place we finally ordered from which you can check out if you’re curious. Good service, but then again next to these guys, any kind of service can look good. :)

Enjoyed their desserts (cupcakes and chocolate fountain) at my sister’s wedding! I was impressed with Urs’ professionalism from the moment I met him at the tasting. His desserts were absolutely delicious and perfectly sweet and moist. The chocolate… magnificent! I wish I could get married again just to hire him!

Instead of traditional wedding cake, we got a Cupcake Tower and Chocolate Fountain from Euro Pastry, and all tasted GREAT!
Not being from San Diego, I had to find a good dessert place mostly from reviews, so we picked Euro Pastry from another bride’s blog (formerly Proof of Pudding) who had done research and Euro Pastry fit both budget and taste requirements. Sure enough, we tried cupcakes from Babycakes, Heavenly, and even Cups (organic in La Jolla), but chose EuroPastry given the balance of good taste (cupcakes were moist) and value!
We ended up deciding on the chocolate mousse and strawberry/​mango filling cupcakes, and dark chocolate fountain with 5 dippers (a small discount vs. 9 ingredients) Chef Urs was awesome to work with — while it concerned me a bit that he wasn’t that great with email communication (you need to catch him on the phone during the day), he completely delivered as expected — and we got rave reviews of how good everything tasted. KUDOS!
Note: They don’t have a traditional store front, so do schedule an appt weeks in advance.

I like their cake, but they messed up the design of my wedding cake. The design was wrong. Also, I paid extra to have sugar flowers on my cake but they were not there.
I still give them 4 stars since both my husband and I really like their cake…

Urs’ cake was beyond my expectation. I was very anxious to see my wedding cake on the day of my wedding.
I desgined my own cake and I was very specific about what I wanted in terms of color and details. (I ordered suger fondant 3 tier, light pink + ivory bows and tie, with three dots all over the cake.)
When I saw my cake on the day of my wedding, I was about to cry! It was so beautiful, and he made it even better. Originally, I only wanted one bow on top, but since the bow was too small, he made two extra bows to make it look better. (See the attached photo.) Usually extra bow costs additional money, but he didn’t charge or anything.
The cake’s color was exactly what I ordered.
He even gave us an extra cake (a big round one) in a box as back up for our guests! How generous! (But the pink cake served our guests, so we brought the extra cake home and ate it within a week … yum.)
The cake tasted AMAZING!!!
All the guests told me the came was so good, and many people asked me where I got it.
We got «fresh strawberry & Mango» and «Hazelnut chocolate.» Both are equally good.
Thank you Urs!
He is the best.
