Cake Coquette

I had a major life tragedy and had to cancel my order and was charged a $ 50.00 fee, I could understood if there was a tasting but there was nothing but taking an order, instead of letting the tragic event take place Gabby wanted to put salt in a wound, I could of been a great future customer and refer from my many friends and fans, but she thinks it right to charge for having to cancel? Now I have to possibly shout this out to over 10 million fans via Bravo TV, Facebook & Twitter in the coming weeks, it will make for great TV though, what the producers say

One the most beautiful and delicious birthday cakes I have ever seen! I hired these guys to custom design a cake for 12 – 16. I gave them a picture of my husband walking his dog on the beach at sunset and they PERFECTLY recreated the picture around be sides of the cake. HANDS DOWN the best cake makers in San Francisco. Extremely professional, reliable and super nice throughout the entire process.

This is by far the best cake I’ve ever seen and tasted! We ordered cake for our Pastor’s birthday. The ordering process was smooth. I’ve told Gabby that we want some cake with Bible and she response with the design she had in mind (this was on her first email). And it was very detailed! You could tell that she really loves what she does just from the way she emails. SHE BAKES WITH LOVE!
She asked about the background of our church and pastor. She wanted the cake to represent our church and Pastor (I didn’t think that far! Seriously I was just thinking of a Bible cake and that’s it) I couldn’t even imagine how could she put all those in the cake but SHE DID! I can’t explained them with words so I’ll just post the pictures here.
The taste was so good! I ordered the red velvet. It was moist and not too sweet. On the day of our Pastor was so amazed by the details of the cake and the congregation love how it taste! It was definitely a big hit!
Thank you Gabby and Talya for your assistance! You guys are amazing and very talented! Keep up the good work.

Ordering: has been a piece a cake. All arrangements are by email. We told Gabby we are having a bow tie lamb theme and they made it happened. Overall they reply quickly.
Delivery: $ 70 to Daly City. Talya carefully assembled where we like the cake to be presented. It was so beautiful and it came out exactly the way we wanted.
Cake: We had a 2 tier cake and a 3D Lamb (made from rice crispy) topper. It was the cutest cake we ever seen. The taste on the other hand was overly sweet (raspberry purée, vanilla buttercream, cut strawberries) and the white cake was a bit dense and dry.
Overall good looking cake on the outside but quality of the cake is just okay.

I should’ve written a review earlier but life got really busy after my wedding in September! So this is a little overdue. Anyway, there is a reason why she gets 5 stars!!! Gabby came highly recommended (from friends and Unilocal!) even before I started planning my wedding! When I met her, I knew exactly why. She is extremely personable, talented, and thorough. She owns the bakery and yet she takes care of ALL her customers herself — from the beginning to the end! When my (now) husband and I sat down with her, we told her what our vision was and she came up with a sketch within 30mins and nailed it. When we wanted to make changes, and update the design (I added designs from my wedding dress on my cake), she was very accommodating and even made amazing suggestions! Our cake tasting experience was super pleasant! Her cakes are fluffy and she has great flavors to pick from! We ended up with a four tier wedding cake and it looked amazing!!! My guests raved about how delicious it was. We could barely save the top layer lol. We were blown away! I loved working with her so much, she also made my traditional wedding cake — a 2 tier pillow cake (just based on pics via email!). We couldn’t decide which one we loved more! Both were delicious. Overall great experience. Worth every penny!

Gabby was so awesome to work with. We had the pleasure of meeting her before our wedding this past month when we went in for a cake tasting. Her shop was very cool and she had so many great samples for us to choose from. The design she created for us was amazing. She listened to exactly what we asked for and then went 100 steps beyond to create the perfect wedding cake for us. It tasted amazing and all of our guests loved the design. I highly recommend Gabby. She is professional responsive and an amazing artist. Thank you Gabby so much! i

What a wonderful company to work with from start to finish! The cake looked exactly like the sample photo we sent. It was delicious, moist and beautiful! Thank you for being so accommodating and easy to work with! Will recommend you in a heartbeat! Thank you Gabby!

I am so disappointed when I see the cake I ordered for my friend.
First, the color of the cake. I wanted chocolate flavor but white outside. So I mentioned explicitly, I want a white cake with small pink flowers decorating. They replied ‘Sounds great for flavor choice, and yes the outside of the cake will be white buttercream underneath the various shades of pink sugar flowers and gold leaves’, but when I see the cake, it was a RED PINK cake, so different! I even attached the cake, but they just don’t pay attention at all!
Then I asked for a delicate small rabbit on cake. I didn’t have a concrete picture sent to them, my bad to trust their design– a BIG YELLOW stupid rabbit sitting on top of red pink cake. It’s just so ugly!
And they don’t even have a box fitting the cake, very bad experience.
I cannot believe I spent $ 200 on this stupid cake! Will never order from them again!

I have never had such a positive and smooth experience with a custom cake design. Gabby and her team were professional, responsive, and very easy to email. I had a custom «donut theme» 30^th birthday and wanted a fabulous cake to go with it. All my correspondence with Gabby was via email. I explained to her my idea and sent a photo of my cake topper and desired flavor of cake. I was a bit nervous since everything was over email, but I was ECSTATIC when I saw the final product on my birthday.
The cake was cute and delivery was early to the venue I was hosting at. At my party, everyone was raving not only about the design but also the taste of the cake! The frosting was perfect and the cake was nice and moist. I had a red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting.
Being born in December, I have been getting red velvet cakes every birthday since I was little. This was by far the best one I have had.
Thank you again Gabby and Talya! I will be using you again for future events.

Gabby and her team really did amazing job for our wedding. They deserve all the complimentary.
Since I live in China, and it’s an overseas wedding, it was impossible for us to meet face to face before the wedding, and I also couldn’t go to their store or workshop for sample taste; besides, we have 15-​hour jet lag, all the communications were made in emails. However, our communications were very smooth and efficient, since Gabby’s team was very professional. Normally I sent out emails during daytime in our time zone, and I could always get her feedback next morning on time. What I did was sent to them sample pictures I liked and asked them if they were able to do the similar thing and told them how many guests we had. Gabby would suggest the size of our wedding cake, provide different favors they had and estimate the total cost. We didn’t encounter any problems during our communication. Gabby took down all my detailed requests in different emails, and didn’t miss one single item. And all the payments had been cleared before the wedding, which was really efficient and straightforward.
On the wedding day, I didn’t have chance to meet any staff from Cake Coquette; when they came and did preparation, I was taking my wedding photos outdoor. When I was ready for the reception, my wedding coordinator told me that everything was set, including the wedding cake, cupcakes and cookies. As I walked into the restaurant, I was definitely impressed by the beautiful wedding cake as well as those very exquisite desserts. All these items were made exactly as same as the picture I provided. I had to say that their workmanship was perfect, which making the cake table a shining point on my wedding. And they looked so pretty in the lens, please check those lovely pictures. The style and color matched the soft ambient uplighting perfectly. Besides, the cake and desserts were also very tasty. We even brought the rest of cake to our after party and we really liked the chocolate favor.
I was so glad that my wedding was such a big success, because overseas wedding is certainly not an easy job. And Cake Coquette definitely contributed lots of efforts on that. I really appreciate their exquisite services. I also feel sorry because I didn’t have chance to thank their staff personally, to avoid disturbing us, they just came and left quietly. So it’s our obligation to write down our appreciation online and say thanks to all the staff from Cake Coquette. Well done!

I was very skeptical ordering my wedding cake through email, placing order for a cake I’ve never even tasted and putting a deposit through PayPal BUT! I had no worries. Gabby was very responsive through email. Everything was explained until I understood.
I ordered a white cake with strawberry jam decorated with white and colored fondant of the golden gate bridge with birds. It was perfect! Everyone ooed and ahh over it. Everyone took pictures with it.
We had plans on freezing the whole cake to eat it with our wedding party on our one year anniversary but we didn’t want to waste such a good cake. What if it didn’t taste good after a year? It was put in the freezer for two weeks because we decided to cut into it. We pulled it from the freezer and put it in the refrigerator for one week to make sure it was completely thawed.
Finally cut into it today and it was so good! The cake was still most and strawberry jam tasted fresh.
I am so happy with my cake. Thank you Gabby!

Talya and Gabby put together a beautiful wedding cake exactly to our taste with no hassle whatsoever. Cake Coquette has simple pricing and puts together a great product.
We opted for a «naked» cake and simply provided 3 photos of cakes that were similar to what we wanted. The team executed the perfect blend of the photos and delivered a spectacular cake that not only looked beautiful but tasted even better – vanilla cake and salted caramel icing with broken toffee pieces. Our guests devoured the entire cake, many eating a second or third slice.
When we walked into the wedding venue to see what they had delivered we could not have been happier with the product. 5 stars and a great deal of thanks to Cake Coquette!

There is probably not an easier way to order a masterpiece of a cake than working with Cake Coquette. From the initial inquiry to the final delivery the service is top notch.
I ordered a cake for my company to celebrate our IPO. I wanted something unique that people would remember. And did they? Most definitely yes.
The artisans at Cake Coquette created a delicious multi layer cake with the stock ticker around the sides and our symbol on top next to the bell. The highlight however was the Wall Street bull sculpture busting out of the side of the cake. The bull was simmering in bronze.
The cake was delicious and photographed all during the party. I can’t say enough good things about this company. True professionals!

Gabby’s cake was impeccable everyone was in love with the design
You did it !!!
If you looking for a place to order a cake with a theme an idea this lady is your best option.

Gabby made our wedding cake for our wedding in June. She was great to work with. The first time we met, we were impressed by how she really listened to our ideas about how we wanted our cake to look and was able to sketch out a design incorporating all our ideas on the spot. The cake tasting was delicious as well! It was hard to choose what flavor we wanted because there were so many delicious ones, but we ended with up with the chocolate and citrus.
The cake ended up being pretty amazing. Our cake was decorated with sugar flowers. The detail on the sugar flowers was pretty amazing. Thank you gabby for such a beautiful cake!

We ordered my daughter first birthday cake and it turned out AMAZING! We wanted the cake to match our Dr. Seuss theme and it was perfect. I am gluten intolerant, and wanted to be able to enjoy the cake as well and Gaby was able to accommodate this. The cake was honestly the best gluten free cake I’ve ever tasted! We got so many complements on the cake and it was most definitely worth the cost!
I really really really want to give this 5 stars but the cat in the hat’s neck on our cake was broken before we even got home. We were able to prop it up with a skewer but I feel like it was a bit of an eyesore. The cake looked amazing regardless but I wish that part was a bit more sturdy.

I ordered an expensive $ 185 cake for my friend’s wedding shower and it was so pretty I didn’t want her to cut it! We ordered a 8″ round gold cake with sugar flowers. Vanilla cake with raspberry jam and strawberries, cream cheese frosting. Everyone loved the cake, it was good, I think I have very high expectations and wish it was just a tad more moist. But the detailing of each flower was crazy. I would recommend them. Oh and I asked for a cake to feed up to 12 people, we had almost half left over. It was a tall cake!

Gabby’s cake was amazing! I had originally requested for a vegan carrot cake for my daughter’s 1^st birthday, which she had no problem with making, but I later changed my mind and requested for a regular carrot cake. She had no problems with making either. I also changed my mind about the size later, which she readily accommodated for. The cake was moist and absolutely delicious and looked exactly like how I wanted it to, even though I didn’t give very specific instructions! I requested for a pastel colored farm animal/​barnyard theme, and the cake was beautiful! She responded promptly to email and was super easy to work with. I initially had reservations about spending so much on a cake, but I think it was totally worth it.

Gabby is just amazing. She creates masterpieces out of cake. She just made the cake for my wedding today, and I couldn’t be happier! I asked for a small 3 tier cake, we went with her lemon cake with a textured buttercream frosting, and it was absolutely delicious and beautiful. I will post some photos when I get them back from my photographer :)
Gabby was very quick to email me back when I had questions, helpful when I picked up a sample box of flavors, and very easy to deal with. If I ever need another cake, Cake Coquette will be my first call :)

Loved my wedding cake! I went to A LOT of cake tastings and Gabby’s was by far the best one. Tons of flavors to choose from and beautiful artistry in the designs. I had a hard time finding a shop that 1) would make gum paste flowers and 2) made them well. Cake Coquette definitely hit the mark! I ended up getting the vanilla cake with raspberry jam, cream cheese filling and fresh strawberries in a 4-​tier cake AND a sheet of the hazelnut flavor to serve approx 300 people. I didn’t want any fondant so I went with buttercream. Delicious! Everyone enjoyed it and I didn’t have much left over. If I could re-​do the wedding cake, the only thing I would have changed is ordering a 5-​tier (instead of 4-​tier) cake! I can’t wait for our wedding anniversary; we decided to re-​order the same flavors for our anniversary cake!
