Perfect and delicious wedding cake provided by Cute Cakes! The tasting and ordering process was easy and fun. Each and every person we talked to through to process was kind and helpful! They even have some cake-stands you can rent and an option...
to add miniature deserts. Our cake was brought from their bakery in Escondido to our venue in De Luz (about 45-60 min with windy roads) with no problem! I provided a picture of what we'd like the cake to look like and it was replicated beautifully. You have the option to let a Cute Cakes employee place your flowers, or your florist you may do as well. Great experience- we'll definitely visit and/or use Cute Cakes again!
For our microwedding we decided to serve cupcakes to our guests and just have a small cake for us to cut. All of the cakes were absolutely delicious and looked wonderful as well! We will definitely be looking to book them next year when we have...
our larger celebration!
Better late than never, our wedding was March of 2019.
If you are on the fence on doing a tasting, do yourself a favor and do it. It’s a SWEET little must have experience, especially at Cute Cakes. Looking for something that's not on their ori...
ginal list, ask. We requested as part of our tasting, a funfetti cake. Glad they accommodated us because that's what we went with. Funfetti with Vanilla Custard, with the top tier being a Red Velvet Cake. I am no fan of Red Velvet, my husband is, but I thoroughly enjoyed this one. During our tasting we met with McKenna who started drawing and helped us envision our cake. I had a couple ideas with the tiers and she was able to suggest what would look best. We knew after we left we were going to move forward with Cute Cakes. From then until the wedding there was only one part of the cake that needed to be settled in regards to some fondant flowers. Communication and responses were quick so I never had to go back in for this. I knew I was in good hands. Day of the wedding our cake turned out how we asked and just as equally amazing was how good the cake was! My sister is picky and commented that it was “The BEST CAKE EVER”. The night was long and I wish I could have enjoyed more of the cake. Thankfully, they are a cafe, as well that we can visit where we not only can get cupcakes in those flavors but were able to order a mini recreation cake for our 1 year. It was executed beautifully and tasted as amazing as all our guests told us.
Our cake was very small and relatively simple, but the people at Cute Cakes treated us just as they would had we ordered a 6-tier cake for 500 people. The cake looked just like the picture we brought to them, and tasted great! Our guests were v...
ery happy with it.
We also ordered small baked bites (brownies, lemon bars, cookies, etc.) which were all fabulous! They were a great addition to the small cake.
Overall we had a great experience with Cute Cakes, from the adorable cake tasting to our cake on our big day. I'd highly recommend!
Our wedding cake was perfection - we had 3 different flavors, and our guests cannot stop raving about how great they all were :) Thanks, Cute Cakes!
Our wedding cutting cake was absolutely beautiful! The scroll work and detail was perfect. Super classy! Very tasty as well. Our coordinator recommended Cute Cakes and so happy we took her advice.
The cake was amazing!
We had a small wedding and reception on the beach in Carlsbad and needed a creative idea for a wedding cake that wouldn't melt or have issues with beach sand. Cute Cakes provided us with cakes-in-a-cup which they delivered to us right on the b...
each. Normally, these would be cakes in a jar but no glass is allowed on the beach. So these were served in plastic cups and were a huge hit! Plus, they were absolutely delicious. We had the chocolate, vanilla and red velvet options for our guests and none were left over!
I simply could not be happier and more grateful for Cute Cakes and especially, Jill. We had one weekend in San Diego to finish our destination wedding details, which included our cake tasting. Our initial vendor was a no call, no show and I was...
devastated. After a quick Google search, my husband confirmed we could pick up a tasting box so at least we can attempt to get our cake figured out. Upon arrival, we met Jill, not knowing she was the owner. Maybe she saw a panicked bride-to-be, but she was the sweetest towards us and insisted we sit down for a proper tasting. I was thrilled and couldn't believe their generosity and hospitality. All of the flavors we selected were beyond delicious. The cake was unbelievable -- moist, rich in flavor... making our decision for a two tier cake a tough one! And, they had an Oreo filling that had my husband's name all over it! Ultimately, everything worked out the way it should and Cute Cakes and Jill were the answer to our wedding cake dreams. We actually ended up increasing the size of our cakes knowing everyone would want one or maybe two slices! Not a slice was left on our big day!
Since the wedding, we've picked up cakes while in San Diego to celebrate with friends and family for birthdays, too! We can't get enough.
Tier 1 Flavor: Vanilla w/ Strawberry-Raspberry/Vanilla Custard/Strawberry-Raspberry
Design: White Buttercream- Spackled frost
Tier 2 Flavor: Marble w/ Chocolate Mousse/Oreo Buttercream/Chocolate Mousse
Design: White Buttercream- Spackled frost
The tasting best cake EVER! Our Wedding Cake Layer was Lavender with buttercream frosting to die for! We chose not to save it... but eat it. We ate the whole thing that day!
The other layers, fillings and frosting were fabulous. We live up nor...
th so we stopped by 2 weeks ago to get a Lavender piece by the slice. Omgosh WOW Yummmm!
No where else can they beat the selection of cake flavors, variety and quality of Cute Cakes! I'm going to stop by every time I'm in Escondido!
My husband and I ordered our cake from Cute Cakes because of the wide range of flavor options and the reviews we read about them. The positive reviews are totally spot; our cake turned out absolutely perfect! We chose a 2 tier cake with lemon a...
nd passion fruit filling on the top tier and red velvet and cream cheese on the bottom tier. Both tiers were so delicious and moist, we finished the entire thing at the wedding!
Awesome! Exactly what we were looking for :)
OhMyGosh.. What an amazing cake vendor. Absolutely fabulous with customer service. They were so patient... they even helped my fiance learn how to "face time" message me while he was at the store trying to pick out color selections of frostin...
g, while I was on a cruise ship for my dad's birthday. The color book of choices they had helped us decide, even with the unusual way of a couple selecting their cake design.
The cake was fantastic in flavor and design. We picked out our yummy fillings, cake flavors and custom design. The actual cake flavors were delicious and I'm the type of person that throws the cake away and "only eats the frosting". So you know both were excellent! I definitely will be coming back for all our other cake and frosting treats and celebrations!
Our wedding cake was perfect! It looked exactly as we imagined and tasted even better. Our guests complimented us on how delicious it was. The company was easy to work with and everything was flawless.
Once my husband and I decided we were going to get married in San Diego, I instantly knew I wanted to have cute cakes do our wedding cake. I grew up in Escondido so my mom would bring come their cupcakes as a special occasion treat!
Our cake d...
id not disappoint, we had a 4 tier cake semi-naked cake with a different flavor for each layer. It was all so incredible, I couldn't pick a favorite! Highly recommend!!
We absolutely LOVED our cake! We had a lot of conversations with Allie about our wedding cake design and we had the most beautiful and delicious cake! Our venue included the cake and we had our choice of 2 bakeries and cute cakes won just based...
off of their customer service. We tasted so many delicious options it was very hard to decide. They made our cake based off pictures and did such a great job! we cannot recommend enough!!
Cute Cakes did a good job on our wedding cake - it looked exactly how we wanted it to, but they made a mistake on the cake flavors. The cake was still delicious - don't get me wrong - but it wasn't what we had ordered. It was minor and none of ...
my guest knew, but it is worth noting. I would order from them again in the future - they have truly delicious cake!
Cute Cakes did an AMAZING job with the cake and dessert bar for our wedding. We were torn, because we really wanted to go the route of a dessert bar so that guests had more than one cake flavor for a dessert option. Plus we had an outdoor wed...
ding in a somewhat non-traditional venue, so we were staying away from anything overly conventional or cookie-cutter. Still, it was hard to get away from the sense of wanting to have the cake-cutting moment. To make mattersa more complicated, I am allergic to gluten, and it can be really tough to find tasty GF desserts of any kind. In the end, Cute Cakes had the answers for everything! I was able to go to their venue with a few girlfriends for a tasting so I could sample the GF options, and had some dessert connoisseurs to taste what I couldn’t. We ended up having a small GF cake to cut, cupcakes and macaroons in a dessert tower for the other GF guests, and then an amazing array of other mini desserts for all of our other guests to enjoy. We did everything but the groom’s cake (my husband loves DD munchkins) and our chocolate fountain through Cute Cakes and they were able to deliver right to our venue making everything easy and seamless, not to mention delicious! Even non-dessert eaters (typically) were commenting on how great everything looked and tasted!
"That was the best wedding cake I have ever had in my life!!" -- according to all of our wedding guests! I knew from the first bite at our tasting that they were the best out there. We went for the marble + chocolate mousse, the almond + latt...
e macchiato, and the vanilla + raspberry. The almond + latte macchiato was probably the best cake I have ever had. The service was also stellar. I cannot recommend Cute Cakes enough!!!!
The cake was beautiful AND delicious! Also great customer service.
Cute Cakes did our wedding cake and it was beautiful! We came in with a design in mind and they came through! All of the flowers were sugar flowers sculpted by them. On top of that, it was delicious. We also got a vegan sheet cake one the side,...
but so many people liked it we ran out of that one first!
Cute Cakes did an amazing job on our wedding cake. It was so delicious and tasted just like a wedding cake should. All of our guest wanted more!
Thank you Cute Cakes!
Not only was our cake beautiful and exactly what I wanted, it tasted AMAZING. People are STILL talking about our cake! We got four layers. The bottom was a pound cake with raspberry filling. Then we had a strawberry cake with whipped cream and ...
chopped strawberry filling (my favorite). Then there was a lemon cake with strawberry & raspberry filling (groom's favorite). Finally, the top was a marble with a chocolate ganache (bridesmaid favorite). We loved them all. We've moved, but I told my husband I want to come back to California and get a cake from here to celebrate every year!
Cute Cakes was a great cake vendor! We went to 2 tastings for our wedding and cute cakes blew us way with their delicious flavors and moistness of their cakes. When you walk into the bakery and go into the wedding area, it feels so special and ...
professional. They have a special area just for you to taste and discuss your cake preferences.I had no idea how I wanted our cake decorated, so I I just said "vintage feelings but elegant" and they nailed it! We were unfortunately given the wrong cake stand on our wedding day BUT they still deserve 5 stars because they handled the scenario extremely professionally and we were left feeling very happy with them. Its important to have a vendor that can handle mistakes like professionals and Cute Cakes surely did!
I spent a couple months reading and sifting through several different review sites for our cake, until I finally narrowed it down to a few tastings. Cute Cakes was an easy sell for us.
This tasting was one of our absolute favorite parts of wed...
ding planning. We sat, chatted and ate cake together. Needless to say, we loved the cake--taste was of primary importance to us. Cute Cakes made the process fun, but also fostered an intimate experience so that this could be such a great part of our wedding planning process. I want to highlight that.
We booked with strawberry and vanilla cake with the strawberry/raspberry jam (YUM) for 5 cakes, unstacked and spackled. The process after deciding and tasting was very straightforward. We picked, we signed, we paid. A few weeks before the wedding, they provided us with simple, clear instructions on everything. They were punctual, the cakes were gorgeous, and people are still telling us about how much they liked the cake. Even the venue staff had their share!
My husband and I were thrilled when we saw the cakes. I can't say it enough--they were beautiful and DELICIOUS. The process really was a delight from beginning to end, and for that we're so grateful. Thanks so much, Cute Cakes!!
We absolutely loved our cake! Red velvet was so delicious. We also did a dessert bar for guests who did not like cake and everything we got was amazing. When we did our cake tasting we discussed what we wanted our cake to look like and it was s...
o beautiful!
I showed them a picture of what I wanted and it could not have turned out more perfect! They were friendly and easy to work with. I highly recommend!
Fantastic service and the cake was beautiful!
We always get 0ur cakes here for our daughters parties and they always turn out fantastic! Well we got a cake for our wedding and it turned out just beautiful! Everyone loved it and the taste was heavenly and the cost was definitely doable when...
you're on a budget. love this place and would definitely recommend to engaged couples, or anyone looking for a cute cake ( no pun intended) :)
Yum Yum Yum!! Cute Cakes did the best job on our cake and cupcake bar! We got so many compliments about how good everything was. I looove desserts and especially cake and I could not get enough of everything they made for us. SO SO good!!
Our Cute Cake experience was great. My husband and I went to their store for a tasting months before our wedding and we were very pleased with the experience. The day of our wedding we did have a little hiccup of them forgetting our cupcake and...
cake stands. They did come back shortly after leaving. They then set up the stands and decorated our cake with our cake topper and flowers. We ordered a little over 100 cupcakes and we were told from the beginning we would have to set them up but I feel with the amount of money that we pay that cupcake set up should be included. We were pleased with the cake and cupcake quality and all of our guests loved them!
The cake was perfect! Taste-wise, look-wise, price-wise, everything was perfect. Cute Cakes instantly got our business when we scheduled a tasting and they had a little table reserved with our name and the flavors we wanted to try. The server w...
as super sweet and explained everything; they coordinated their delivery to a second location at a later time with my wedding planner and even added some hops on top for us! They were great!
Cute Cakes is the BEST!!! Jill and her amazing staff are so talented and create the most heavenly delicious cakes & desserts! As an event planner, I have had the pleasure and honor to work with them on many weddings and events over the years!...
Cute Cakes provides pure excellence in every arena! Everyone just loves their beautiful creations! They actually did my personal wedding cake!!! Thank you Cute Cakes! Look forward to working together soon! Appreciate everything you do and your passion for your clients!
We loved our custom wedding cake that Cute Cakes made for us. It was so delicious and looked fantastic!
Cute Cakes made my wedding cake and it was delicious. I personally don’t like cake or sweets really but I did have a piece of our wedding cake and it was unbelievable. We had about 115 people at our wedding and all I heard was how amazing the c...
ake was. We had no left overs because people were going back for second. Definitely recommend them.
Amazing company!!! LOVED working with them. When everything else for our wedding seemed like chaos we were always confident our cake would at least be beautiful. They listened to every detail. We are from AZ so we were nervous working with out ...
of state vendors, but they immediately put us at ease. The cake was stunning. My husband and I had completely different ideas of what the cake should look like including the size. They sat down with us and helped us put together a gorgeous cake that both of us loved. We can't say enough great things about them. Not only was it beautiful but SO delicious. All of our guest tried all 3 flavors it was so good - which is good since we had 25 guests and a cake that fed 78 people. Each layer was super moist and delicious. Our guest raved about the cake. Thank you Cute Cakes!!! We hope to make it back to California to your shop to purchase a cake for our first anniversary.
I honestly hated my cake. It looked nothing like how I wanted it to. Worst part of my wedding.
Response from the Vendor on 10/25/2018
Hi Selena! We are so sad to hear this. I just reviewed your contract and our delivery photos and I'm truly surprised that you did not like it. We thought the coloring and fondant rosettes were so pretty and exactly like the photo you provided. ...
Marble with Chocolate Mousse is one of our most popular flavors, so hopefully your guests loved their dessert. I hope the rest of your wedding was exactly as you imagined and that your marriage has been wonderful so far.

Absolutely amazing!!! I got a cake, cookies, and chocolate covered strawberries, all were delicious. The cake tasting process was a lot of fun, and design team gave exactly what I wanted!
Cute Cakes went over and above to help us realize our vision. The cake’s beauty was only surpassed by it’s amazing flavors and texture. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Everything was awesome from the testing day to the wedding day. We had Cute Cakes make us cookies for wedding favors and the guests ate all of them, plus all the cake!

I had the pleasure of using Cute Cakes and working with Genesis for our wedding on August 25, 2018. Cute Cakes made a beautiful (and yummy!) company for our wedding! My husband and I went to multiple cake tastings, and specifically chose Cute...
Cakes due to their professionalism, family atmosphere, warm welcome, and high level of attention to details. Genesis always stayed in constant communication, made our cake tasting extra special (they even made us a personal welcome sign for our tasting!), and were so friendly and happy for us! Cute Cakes made a beautiful wedding cake that had 4 tiers with diamond ribbon on each tier, and silver writing that said “And They Lived Happily Ever After” in the death by chocolate and sweet southern pound cake flavors. Cute Cakes had superb follow-up skills, and always shared our excitement and happiness. Genesis spent ample time with us to address all of our questions and requests, and was so patient and compassionate. Cute Cakes communicated all details, addressed everything as promised and on time, and was also friendly, positive, and beyond professional. Genesis and Cute Cakes gained our trust from the beginning. They also had the best tasting cake! Genesis took initiative to ensure everything was perfect from a bride’s perspective and all of the details with our wedding cake. Both my husband and I highly recommend Cute Cakes for your wedding cake! All of our guests absolutely loved both the taste of our wedding cake and commented on how beautiful and unique our wedding cake was (it really sparkled!). Many thanks to Genesis and Cute Cakes for all of their help, assistance, compassion, high attention to detail, and making such a beautiful and tasteful wedding cake on the most important day of our lives so special!
Working with Cute Cakes from start to finish was great. My husband and I met at the bakery for a cake tasting and knew right away that we wanted to work with them.

Not only did we get the Wedding cake from Cute Cakes, we also ordered cupcakes for the Bridal Shower. The initial selection process included tastings and photos of their fabulous creations! A must for any occasion!

This was a destination wedding for us. We used to live in San Diego but moved to Connecticut due to the military. Having no idea who to look to for a wedding cake, I did some research online and came across Cute Cakes (Downtown). From the first...
time I called them, they were very professional. I wanted a semi-naked cake and I was told that can be difficult to make so to make sure that the Bakery I picked could make them. Cute Cakes said it wasn't a problem and even sent me pictures of wedding cakes they had done that were semi-naked. When I flew home for my bridal shower, I made arrangements to do my tasting. The set up in their store was amazing. It made me feel special! Since my fiancé couldn't attend, I took my maid of honor instead. The different cakes we tried were amazing. We were given the option to taste 6 different kinds of cakes and ended up picking 4 since I had 3 layers and a sheet cake. The day of the wedding, the cake was delivered to our hotel just a block away and I paid them extra to put some flowers (from my florist) onto the cake just like a picture I had given to Cute Cakes. The cake tasted amazing at the wedding too! I made sure to sit down and enjoy 2 different kinds with my new husband. Overall, Cute Cakes in Downtown did a wonderful job and I would go back to them again.
Response from the Vendor on 11/02/2017
Thank you! Many of our clients do plan from a distance and we are able to handle almost all of the planning and order processing through email and by phone. The tasting is by far the most fun part of cake planning though, so I'm happy you were ...

I used the gaslamp location for my wedding on 6/10/17. I am extremely allergic to milk and anything dairy, so I was very nervous and unsure if I could get a wedding cake that would accomodate that. However, Cute Cakes did an amazing job! They w...
ere so helpful with everything from organizing the cake tasting (with the vegan/dairy free cake too), to having the top tier separate from the rest of the cake due to my allergy. It was SO good and so were all the other flavors we chose for the rest of the cake as well. Our guests loved the cake and loved the different flavors we had on each tier. Plus they made it look pretty too! They did an amazing job and I definitely recommend them! Thank you Cute Cakes!
We utilized Cute Cakes, as our cake was included as part of our overall cost from our location (Paradise Point), and CuteCakes was one of their preferred vendors. As soon as we went for our first tasting, I knew we had found a winner.
We work...
ed with Emily through our entire process, and she and her team could not have been nicer!
We adjusted some of their favorites/standard flavors. We ended up getting a 6 tier, 3 flavor cake, which all of our guests loved. We also opted to get a few vegan and gluten free cupcakes on the side. Not only did they knock out our guest cake, but they also made an adorable, awesome and tasty grooms cake in the shape of a packers cheesehead.
I would highly recommend using Cute Cakes!
Our cake was amazing!! We loved the cupcakes as well!!! Thank you for being a big part of our day!!! Hire them!
We had such a great experience with Cute Cakes for our wedding last summer. They had us into their store for a tasting which was in an adorable room and everything was set up and presented beautifully. Everything tasted amazing and at the end w...
e made on our selections for a small two-tiered wedding cake and a few dozen mini cupcakes. When they told us the total we were very pleasantly surprised that it was much less than we expected – probably due to the fact that the cake was a simple design, but we still thought they would overcharge simply because it was a wedding cake. On the day everything turned out wonderfully with the cake and cupcakes looking and tasting better than we could have imagined. Definitely recommend them for weddings and other events!
Terrible experience. Will tell you they can do something they can't. Tasting was great. However the day the cake arrived to my wedding, it was slanted on one side,
Looked NOTHING like the photo I sent them. It was mind boggling. We received att...

We ordered Chocolate covered strawberries with multi chocolate flavors and drizzles to add a little pop to our dessert table.

Cute Cakes created a masterpiece for my wedding without costing me a fortune. The cake tasted amazing and the buttercream exterior looked cleaner than many fondant cakes we looked at.

so loved working with them so much that we worked with them for a surprise groom's cake. WOW! It was the shape of my husband's Mach 1 mustang and even had our dog in the window. I have never seen such an impressive cake! So happy to have worked with them through both cakes and the whole process. Very professional and helpful. Highly recommend for any occasion!
Our cake was above and beyond our expectations. The flavors were amazing and the actual look of the cake was breath taking. The details of the gum paste flowers were outstanding!

Yummy cake , great employees, and gorgeous cakes! I was so happy with everything. Our wedding cake was exactly what I wanted.
All the flavors were delicious, the only problem we had was choosing a cake flavor. So many options and amazing designs 💕
Everything about Cute Cakes was fantastic. During the tasting they gave us actual wedding cake slices that were fresh and delicious (other vendors had given us dried cupcakes to try). While there, we were also fortunate enough to run into the o...
wner who gave us very good design advice as well.
The day of our wedding everything was fabulous. The cake was delivered on time, looked absolutely gorgeous, and tasted delicious - and very fresh (a hard combination to come by, especially since we got married the day after Thanksgiving). I would absolutely recommend Cute Cakes, they did an amazing job - it was definitely worth the price.
From the cake tasting to the finished product, Cute Cakes was a pleasure to deal with! All of their employees are very friendly and they are able to turn your vision into a reality. We tried 6 different cake flavors at our tasting, and ended up...
ordering 5 out of the 6 for our wedding cake and cupcakes because they were all so delicious! We couldn't have been more happy with the process!
My fiancé (at the time) and I had done one other tasting before this one and we were BLOWN away with these people! Their whole staff was super friendly and as soon as we pulled up, they immediately got us a complementary coffee and waters. They...
have an adorable tasting room in Escondido too! They had a sign waiting for us that said congratulations and welcoming us too, they just made it very special!! They brought out the cakes already put together with the icing and fillings so we could really experience what it would taste like rather than just having little cupcakes and trying the stuff that way! Every cake was sooooo good though, we could barely narrow it down to three! We ended up going with raspberry strawberry filling with vanilla funfetti cake(they through in the sprinkles special for us to make it look like funfetti), the marbel cake and red velvet cake and we had them in different layers. They also allowed us to try the small desserts and all of them ended up being extremely reasonably priced! We ended up getting a 3 tiered cake and 8 dozen small desserts for 200 dollars less than we were quoted for just a 3 tiered cake at the place we were at before!!! It was such an amazing experience and our cake looked exactly what we asked for and it was beautiful and delicious! In my experience, wedding cakes were never very tasty but every layer of ours and our small desserts were decadent!! You have to go to this place, its amazing and the staff's coordination was on point!!!!
We booked Cute Cakes for our wedding at the Hilton Garden Inn – Carlsbad Paradise Package. We selected three types of cake for our three tiered cake. All three were great! Especially the carrot cake. We ended up eating all of the cake at the...
wedding, so we’ll be heading back for our 1 year anniversary to grab another slice.
From the cake tasting until our wedding day, Cute Cakes far exceeded our expectations! Our cake was exactly how we envisioned it and of course, delicious! The red velvet was definitely our favorite! Thank you so much Cute Cakes!
The cake was not only delicious but beautiful! Allie was a great help and very attentive to e-mails. The red velvet was so delicious! Everyone loved it
This review is long overdue. Cute Cakes works with the Twin Oaks House & Gardens and we had the pleasure of working with both vendors for our dream wedding on 06/13/15. We went for a tasting and planning meeting two months before our June wed...
ding and it was such an enjoyable experience! They had reserved a table for us with a cute welcome sign. We had a few ideas, but Sara was patient and guided us through the process. Our cake turned out better than I imagined. I was in awe when I saw the finished product the day of the wedding! Many of our guests said the cake tasted amazing! Thank you Cute Cakes for helping us to have a fabulous wedding!
We absolutely loved our wedding cake that Cute Cakes made for us! It was so beautiful and extremely delicious!! My husband and I had a fun experience during the cake tasting, and they nailed every detail we wanted. I HIGHLY recommend them!

Our cake was exactly what I had hoped for! Everyone at Cute Cakes made us feel so special during our tasting. They were super helpful and made picking out our cake a wonderful experience!
Cute cakes did our wedding cake and cupcakes, and I would highly recommend them. The cake tasting was a lot of fun, and they work with you to make sure everything is exactly as you want (I think we tried like 25 difference combos). We ended u...
p having 4 types of cupcakes--carrot cake with cream cheese frosting (my favorite!), lemon with lemon custard, vanilla with vanilla custard dipped in chocolate ganache, and vanilla with raspberry mouse and dark chocolate shavings. Each cupcake was decorated differently, and they were very specific and detailed during the tasting so that everything turned out perfect for the wedding. The cupcakes at the wedding were beautiful, and so delicious. Our guests still comment about how delicious the cupcakes were and how they loved being able to choose from 4 different flavors.
Working with Cute Cakes was so great and stress free! They made out wedding cake, which turned out delicious and just how we had hoped! To save cost, we ordered a smaller (2-tier) "wedding cake" and then enough of their sheet cake to feed a cou...
ple hundred people. They were the only place that I found that layers the sheet cake exactly like the wedding cake, so when the slices are cut and served, no one knows it came from a sheet! I thought that was awesome. They are very timely in responding to emails which is very appreciated for trying to plan a wedding, and they offered delivery for a fair price. Of course the most important factor with cakes is taste, and Cute Cakes nailed it. We went to a tasting that was very fun and helped make the decision to order the apple-walnut cake with cream cheese frosting...SO many people complimented us on the cake at the wedding! So moist, delicious, and perfect for out outdoor/rustic wedding. Thank you Cute Cakes!
I got married in July cute cakes did a great job making my cake exactly what I wanted. I requested white chocolate covered strawberries on my cake and they were attached with toothpicks and fell out of the cake before I even arrived at the rece...
ption. But the cake was so yummy! I would definitely give them my service again.
Our wedding cake was absolutely beautiful and really delicious! I don't live in San Diego, so I worked with Allie over the phone. I told her about certain things that I liked from pictures that I saw of their cakes online, and they drew up a cu...
stomized design. We also got to pick different delicious flavor for each layer of our tiered cake. Allie was flexible and easy to work with. The cake turned out beautifully, and was very moist and delicious. I thought we got an outstanding cake for the money with Cute Cakes.

Cute Cakes made our wedding cake this past weekend. It was beautiful! Exactly as I had pictured! Love it!
We loved our wedding cake! It looked and tasted great. The customer service was above average and the price was reasonable. Highly recommend.
Going into the wedding planning process, the wedding cake was never top of my priority list. I was never blown away of a wedding cake as a wedding goer. I booked my venue (Twin Oaks Garden Estate), and a wedding cake was part of my package from...
Cute Cakes, I lucked out. As I booked my cake tasting, and met with the team at Cute Cakes, I didn't know where to start on the design. The team was so helpful, we designed a cake beyond my expectations. I got so many compliments on my cake and it was sooo delicious!!
Going into it I was skeptical of this place, my venue had a lot of bad reviews from previous brides on this cake place and I was not thrilled that after being promised I would not have to use them I was forced to use them.
I went to the cake...
tasting and none of the cakes were incredible but they were yummy and the woman, whom I believe is the person in charge, who helped us, really nice, southern accent woman was awesome. She designed us a stunning wedding cake, exactly what my princess wedding needed.
I needed to bring ribbon in for the bases of each tier two weeks prior to the wedding, my venue moved up my final coordination meeting to 3 weeks prior on a Sunday. I called cute cakes to see if I could bring it in that early and confirmed with the girl on the phone that they were open Sunday, February 8th. She assured me they were and 3 weeks was fine.
I get all the way down to Cute Cakes, an hour away from my house and they are closed. Thank you #1 I love to waste my time when I went out of my way to make sure they would be open.
3 weeks later and it is then my rehearsal day. My venue asks for my cake topper, oh shoot I completely forgot it, where could it be, maybe the cake people have it. I call Cute Cakes while I am at my wedding rehearsal the morning before my wedding and ask the girl that answers, "My wedding is tomorrow March 1st at Green Gables, Shelby and Jose wedding, do you guys have my cake topper" she tells me, let me double check. She comes back on the phone and tells me yes we have it. If we didn't have it we would have been calling you for 2 weeks saying wheres your cake topper wheres your cake topper. Phew! I'm relieved.
My wedding day rolls around, I get ready go through the ceremony, the photos and now my grand entrance. We walk straight in and directly in front of me is my stunning cake with FLOWERS ON TOP. Where the hell is my cake topper?! It's at home, exactly where I let it. I would have looked there and brought it with me the day of had the girl on the phone not assured me CUTE CAKES HAD IT. So now, my perfect wedding cake is missing its $20 diamond Mr & Mrs cake topper that I dreamed of having. Thank you #2
All and all, the cake was good, the design was beautiful but I am so upset and disappointed with the staff.
Response from the Vendor on 03/30/2015
Dear Shelby,
First of all, Congratulations to your and Jose on your marriage and I am so grateful that we were able to play a part in your big day! The pictures turned out gorgeous and I'm thrilled that you the cake was delicious, and the beaut...
iful design that you had hoped for. We strive for excellence in both product and customer service, and I feel that overall we have accomplished that.
Secondly, I'm so sorry that you feel you received subpar service from my staff the two times you phoned.
Excellent customer service is a continual, ongoing process, and we use all feedback to make us better so I appreciate your comments. Our wedding contracts specify that toppers are to be left at the cake table, unless we are making a custom topper here at our store, and that contract is gone over thoroughly and signed at the time of booking. Unfortunately when you phoned in that Saturday, a new customer service rep who was most likely a bit frazzled with our hectic Saturday traffic, checked our accent cart for a topper, rather than going to your wedding contract, and when she found a "Custom Topper" with the name Shelby on it, made the assumption that it was yours. I had the honor of delivering your cake that day and when I asked for the topper and was told that you thought we had it at our store, I drove back personally to check. The coordinator and I made the decision that having flowers on the top would be the best solution, and while it turned out beautifully, I understand that it is not what you have hoped for. We have gone over the processes thoroughly with our staff to ensure that this type of miscommunication does not happen again.
We are closed on Sunday, as our website, and the sign on the door states. We do allow for prepaid, Sunday pickups between 9am-10am as a courtesy to our clients who can't, or would prefer not to, pick up on Saturday. We alert our baking team to the persons name and number who will be calling so that they will answer the phone and unlock the door. Because they are so busy with their baking and prep work for the week, they are instructed to not answer the phone to other callers and we allow the answering machine to take messages. I am so sorry if you were told that we were open on a Sunday, and again, will discuss this with any new staff that we have to make sure that they understand our limited Sunday pickup policy.
Thank you again for your feedback, and I wish you and your husband many blessings in your new lives together. Hopefully we will see you again for many other important occasions. Have a Sweet Day!
Cute cakes in escondido was amazing through the entire process from taste testing to the big day. They not only met but exceeded my expectations for my wedding cake as well as the grooms cake. They upgraded me to fondon which i was not excited ...
about but was the eight decision so my cake would not melt. The cake was beauitul. The grooms cake was bad a##. It was bigger than agreed on and more detailed than expected. My wedding cake was delicious, I seriously can't wait for the 1 yr anniversary to eat the top!
My cake was included in my venue price, we got a 4 tiered square cake. We paid an extra $150 because we had fondant on our cake and that wasn't included in the venue cost. We tried all the flavors, but the carrot cake is to die for. The owner i...
s a sweet lady who is very talented. Will be buying carrot cakes from there from now on.
Cute Cakes was incredible! I can not say enough good things when it comes down to it. Our first meeting with them was comfortable and reassured us they were great at what they do and would offer us exactly what we wanted on our special day! We ...
had a small two teared cake and cupcakes towering below. All of the flavors were delicious and the cake was very moist. We chose a very simple decoration for our wedding cake and cute cakes did an amazing job of fulfilling our dreams of that! The day of the wedding our cake and cupcakes really stood out they were beautiful! The staff was very helpful and on time with delivery we had zero hiccups! If you are looking for delicious cake and or cupcakes with great service and great pricing, go with Cute Cakes!!!
I found this place on the Knot, and I was so happy with them. We went to the cute little shop in Escondido for the tasting and to order the cake and had so much fun. The owner, Jill, was helping us and she was great. She made great recommendati...
ons and totally worked with me to design the wedding cake of my dreams. I had brought in a picture of a cake I found that I loved, and she was able to recreate it with some small changes we came up with. It was seriously the most beautiful cake I have ever seen! They are very talented here and the prices are very reasonable. I price shopped around before going to Cute Cakes and some other places were way more expensive for the same designs. Oh, and the cake is delicious too!! I will definitely be using them again and recommending them to my friends.
We had Cute Cakes do our wedding cake and we could not be happier with the result. Our 4-tier 3-flavor cake came out really beautiful and delicious! When placing our order, we were not sure whether to go with real or gumpaste flowers. We knew t...
hat real flowers could be messy, and gumpaste flowers were more pricey and could possibly look too unreal or not match with our centerpiece flowers! Allie suggested she could do 4 bunches of gumpaste flowers at a reasonable price and we took the risk to go with it which we are so happy we did! The decoration looked wonderful and the colors exactly matched our wedding colors.
Plus our reception started with some delay, and the cake was still fresh after sitting in the ballroom for over six hours. Thank you Cute Cakes for doing a wonderful job on preparing our wedding cake!
My wife and I went to a few tastings before we decide on our wedding bakery. We finally picked Cute Cake because 1) their cake taste really yummy and very moist, 2) they have a huge selection of cake and filling, and we can customized our cake ...
with different combination in each layers, and 3) their price is reasonable.
Through out the process, we change our design for the few times, and did some fine tuning at the last minutes. They have quick response time and very accommodating. And when our guest list is more than we anticipate, they help us save money by suggesting to add a sheet cake instead of another layer of the cake too.
The end result on our wedding cake is much prettier than we imagined. They make it better than the pinterest pictures we sent them. And the cake tastes yummy and is still very moist 4 days after the wedding. (we brought all the leftover home). We highly recommend them.
I called and set up a last minute tasting and when I arrived later that day, I had a printed folder with our names, wedding date, and paperwork all ready to go-very professional looking. The cake was fabulous as well.
I got married in Fallbrook, CA in March 2014. I was planning my whole wedding long distance the months leading up to it and was having a very hard time finding a good bakery to supply our cake. After much research and bad results of the stand-i...
ns I sent to do tastings (based off inaccurate, outdated reviews & recommendations which I found frustrating) I came across Cute Cakes. They were quick to reply to my questions and I was able to view their selections of cakes/ cupcakes, fillings and frostings online which made my life so much simpler! I went in for a tasting and everything was very organized & delicious! I chose 5 different flavors for cupcakes and a vanilla cake w/ raspberry filling for our cutting ceremony. On the wedding day the cake/ cupcakes were set up exactly how I requested and when we ate the cake, it was just as good, if not better than when I sampled it in the shop! Fresh, moist, flavorful! The buttercream icing was great too! Not too sweet or bland, but light and smooth.
Regarding cost, the items are fairly priced for the quality they produce at! (And are pretty equal to any other bakery you may wish to compare to in the SD area... trust me... I did LOTS of research!)
I happily recommend Cute Cakes to anyone looking for a bakery to help provide the sweets for their special occasion.
I planned a destination wedding in San Diego from Texas so I didn't get the opportunity to go for a "tasting". I was referred to Cute Cakes by my venue. Oh my.... absolutely delicious cake!! We are still talking about it! They were so easy ...
to work with. We went back and forth several times until we had all the details worked out and I was sure I was getting exactly what I wanted. Such a pleasant experience. Don't even hesitate to use them!
Cute Cakes did an Amazing Job on our Wedding Cake, the taste was spectacular and it turned out exactly how I had requested it. We will definitley use them again.
