The Cake Gallery

Look no further for custom cakes that won’t break the bank.
I paid $ 35 for a 10″ round cake for my girlfriend’s baby shower. I didn’t have a specific vision in mind on how I want the cake to look like, just that it would look cute and colorful. I called the bakery 5 days before the event and spoke with Gerry. He made efficient use of my time just asking the details, gave me the price and surprised me by offering it to be delivered to the venue for FREE. WHAT?! you mean, I don’t have to take time out of my busy schedule to go to SOMA, pick up the cake and then go to the baby shower to set up? awesome!
My gf loves red velvet cake and that’s certainly what we got: a delicious moist red velvet cake with cream cheese filling. However, the outer icing was made with buttercream and we should’ve taken the cake out of the fridge to let it sit out at room temp, because cutting the cake was an ordeal since the frosting hardened up.
Aside from that, everyone was happy with the cake and we celebrated the sweet arrival of a future Unilocaler.

I ordered my company’s anniversary cake with Cake Gallery last year, and although they didn’t follow my detailed instructions the first time around, they did come back to fix the cake and it was beautiful and tasty.
So this year I was hesitant to order with them again, but I made sure to thoroughly outline what I wanted as well as talk them through it over the phone. All I wanted was my company logo in purple. The logo is about the simplest logo you could make and is basically just an elongated letter.
To my dismay, the cake was delivered with a check missing out of the corner because the delivery man had bumped into it on his way up. The rest of the cake was completely uneven — no straight lines and is taller in some areas and shorter in others — and it looks like a 5 year old frosted it. I am obviously extremely disappointed, and they are claiming they don’t have time to come and fix it before our company party. They refunded me $ 45 out of the $ 145 I paid, which is a total ripoff and they should have discounted the full amount since they brought me a damaged cake. I will NEVER use this company again. They are not professional and they aren’t good at what they do.

Very nice Star Wars themed cake delivered on time… Thank you will come back again for cakes !!!

The Cake Gallery is wonderful! I’m living in Calgary while my husband is studying in San Francisco and at the very last minute, I thought of having a cake delivered to him at school. I called yesterday and asked if it would be possible to send him a simple birthday cake by today and they absolutely pulled through and accommodated my request. My husband just received his cake and loves it. I am so impressed by how easy the process was, was happy about the price for the size and quality of the cake, loved that they had a complimentary delivery service, and am so grateful to the Cake Gallery. Would definitely recommend!!!

This is hands down the best tasting and most creative cake shop in San Francisco! The cake is moist and delicious, and it’s gorgeous! My family can’t stop talking about how yummy the cake is (red velvet this time)!!! Also, they will deliver… a few years ago, they even brought my son’s birthday cake to the party on a Sunday! I’m never disappointed… lifetime customers here.

We ordered a Jameson-​shaped cake for our friend’s 30^th. The cake was airbrushed and decorated in amazing detail. Not only was it a work of art, but easily one of the most delicious cakes I’ve every eaten – moist, not overly sweet, and the buttercream was very smooth, fluffy, and pleasant to the tooth. Jerry personally delivered the cake to my home in San Francisco on time. How’s that for service?! He really needs to charge more for his cakes – his prices are unbelievably low. You need to try his bakery out at least once! I know he’ll be my go-​to baker for future requests!

Jerry! Thank you Thank you Thank you. I realized that my brother in SF was celebrating his birthday but no one had gotten him a cake. I searched and called many places from NY. I expected everyone delivers like they do in NY but that was not the case. Most places either did not deliver or had a cake to send the day of the celebration. The cake gallery at first said that i was late in ordering but then asked me what i was looking for. They told me what they had, what was available and called me back as promised when the delivery person turned to the store. They were so accommodating and made my brother’s special day, even more special. thank you guys so much for making it all happen in a matter of hours. My brother and his friends assure me that the cake was very tasty as well.

I ordered a hamburger cake for my boyfriend’s birthday yesterday. The cake was perfect from top to bottom and tasted delicious! Boyfriend was thrilled and everyone wanted to know where the cake was from! Very reasonable prices and free delivery is a plus.
Thank you Jerry! You are an artist and we couldn’t have asked for a better cake! Will definitely be back!

Amazing, excellent cake from The Cake Gallery! I was throwing a little pre-​book launch for my partner and was running way behind on ordering a cake. I called Jerry, sent him a picture of the photo for the cake, and he delivered the most amazing cake to our door on the day of the party. The cake was a huge hit (365 likes on Facebook so far!) — and even more so when we cut into it. Fresh, old-​school chocolate cake with chocolate filling and buttercream icing. No weird aftertaste and so many compliments from our friends — many of whom are in the food biz.
Thanks so much, Cake Gallery! xoxoxo!

We ordered my daughter’s birthday cake from here for today. It was perfect and they even delivered. The guests loved the cake too. The cake was moist and delicious, we got red velvet. Thank you Jon for such an amazing cake. We will definitely order from them again.

They took some really sub-​par photos we sent and made an awesome cake portrait of our 2 graduating interns and did so in very short notice. Thanks guys!

Jerry is not just a baker… He is an artist. I ordered a Disney Cars-​themed cake and wanted my son’s name inside the Cars logo/​emblem. You can tell in the sample pictures on the website every line in the cake is perfectly drawn like a portrait.
Most importantly, the taste of the cake was TO DIE FOR! Trust me, get strawberry flavor with lemon filling. Once it enters your mouth, you’ll wish you bought the whole cake for yourself. :)
The only minor errors were that I called the day before to confirm and asked to have it say «Happy 5^th Birthday» instead of just «Happy Birthday». But no biggie. I’m very satisfied!
Nice plus: They deliver to anywhere in the city for no extra charge.

One word… AMAZING!
I called to order a cake for my friends bachelorette party and I have to say they offered top notch customer service! They even made suggestions on extra «fun» things to add to my sassy cake! I had an idea of what the cake MIGHT look like but ai cant tell you how they nailed it on the head!!! Oh and It was delivered on time. so total points on that!!;)
Also…my friends ordered a sexy cake for my bday 2 years ago and it was AMAZING!
Thank you guys soooo much! You have our continual service and a thousand recommendations!

My husband will always insist that he doesn’t want anything for his birthday.
But I know.
I know he likes chocolate.
I know he likes cake.
(He also, in a sudden burst of domesticity, wanted a stand mixer)
Two days before his birthday, I decided it would be fun to have a cake delivered to him on his birthday. We had dinner plans that night, but we would be able to bring the cake and serve it afterwards, if he didn’t eat it all first. So I found The Cake Gallery, called them, and within 5 minutes had placed my order: a 10″ round chocolate cake with mocha filling, with buttercream frosting on the outside and «Happy Birthday Sam» written on the top. I gave them the address, desired delivery time, and my payment information.
Two days later, the cake showed up (actually about half an hour early, which is great), my husband didn’t eat any of it until dinner, actually remembered to bring it to dinner, and all of us enjoyed a delicious cake for dessert.
Thank you Cake Gallery! I will for sure keep them in mind whenever I want to send anyone (or myself) a sweet treat!
** note: minimum delivery in SF is a $ 35 order, which is basically a 10″ cake (serves like 10 – 12 people). If you want to pick up, you can order a smaller cake.

Quick efficient service. Ordered a red velvet cake for 20 people for work. With graphics, only $ 55 and delivered to my building. The cake was so delicious that 15 people almost polished off the entire thing! A lot of people got seconds!
Definitely will order from here again!

Alright. I haven’t had much experience ordering cakes before. And by much I mean none.
So when it was bestowed upon me the task to order a full sheet cake for one of our coworker’s surprise baby shower in the next 24 hours and have it delivered, the stress was poured on.
I decided to call first upon Whole Foods to save my poor soul burdened with this time sensitive task. Alas, they could not fulfill such a large order within 24 hours. OH WOE TO ME! What was I going to do?!
Then it struck me. Costco? Safeway?! I tried to maintain my composure as I frantically dialed those places closest to our office in SF. Guess what. They were in the same situation as Whole Foods. Rejection.
I started to feel the perspiration on my brow start to break out. My armpits started to moisten like the morning dew. My eyes starting to gleam like nostrils after a sneeze.
GOOD HEAVENS WHAT WAS I GOING TO DO!!!
Unilocal. Unilocal always saves! Oh. What do you know. The Cake Gallery is on the first page of results. Looks appetizing, a lot of good reviews and they seem like they could make a full sheet cake.
I decided to give them a call.
Can you make a full sheet cake? Yes.
Can you make it within 24 hours? Yes.
OH THANK SWEET BABY JEEBUS I LOVE YOU! Yes.
Pretty how much the conversation went.
Anyways. Review part: Great amazeballs service. Jerry helped my n00b self choose this chocolate cake with fresh strawberries in the middle, some white buttercream frosting and yellow frosting to make it a gender neutral baby cake complete with baby designs. UHHHH-​MAZINGGGG! Plus the price fit exactly in our budget and they had free delivery anywhere in SF! WHAAAAA!!!
Talk about 5 stars! My reputation and our surprise office baby shower party was saved thanks to their beautiful cake making skills. PLUS! The cake was bomb dot com and all my coworkers couldn’t stop complimenting and eating it. #Win
Well deserved Unilocal review Oh Cake Gallery! You’re the true MVPs.

Jerry at the Cake Gallery was incredible at helping me design a cake within a short period of time. Don’t let the place fool you. I almost walked out because the shop didn’t look like your typical fluffy fancy place. It’s run by a bunch of dudes.
The cake was exactly what I wanted and the price was very reasonable. I also loved that they delivered this massive cake for free.
Everyone at the party and people not part of the party came over to admire the cake because it was so usual. Best part was that people actually loved eating it too. Thank god we had a big cake, people had 2 – 3 slices. It was a 16″ cake. Cost $ 100. This one is vanilla with raspberry filling. Moist and delicious. Thank you cake gallery.

Ordered a going-​away party cake for our dear co-​worker who is leaving the state and not only did the cake taste good but they did such an amazing job decorating!
…and fast, friendly service and free delivery, what else could one want? :)

Highly recommended! Less than a week before i needed the cake, I filled out the online form with a link to a picture I wanted on a cake to see if they could make it. Jerry called back the next day and gave me a quote. The price was pretty great for the size and customization. I ended up placing an order for a 12×12 red velvet cake with an album cover drawn and strawberries along the edges for $ 60. The free delivery was also a big plus. The birthday girl LOVED it and it was delicious. I would’ve preferred a slightly smaller cake because the 12×12 could have fed way more than 30, but I’m not gonna complain about extra cake!
Note that the images are all hand drawn, not printed. The artists are very talented but don’t expect it to look like one of those photo printed cakes.
Overall great experience and would definitely order again for a custom cake!

I called The Cake Gallery as I was riding in an Über on my way to a restaurant for a birthday. I only had 10 minutes to pick up a cake and get to the restaurant and luckily The Cake Gallery was on the way! Jerry was friendly, accommodating, and in tune with the urgency of my request.
I told him I needed a cake for 10 people to be ready for pick-​up in 5 minutes and boy did he deliver! He not only had a beautiful chocolate cake with fresh strawberries ready, but he had written «Happy Birthday» on top and decorated the cake with frosted flowers. As I ran into the store, he had the cake ready and even provided some free candles. He was careful to box up the cake and protect it from the rain and had us in-​and-​out in 2 minutes.
The cake was delicious, moist, and beautifully decorated. I will definitely be back to order from Cake Gallery in the future. Thanks, Jerry!
