at we picked. I wouldn't mind ordering it again. :D Overall, I had a good experience working with them. Thanks for making my dream wedding cake a reality.

mmend them to you, and everyone I love and care about. We had a wonderful experience working with them.

very aspect regarding the flavors, design, transportation to the venue, cake topper, cake stand etc... We chose a lemon pistachio/ chocolate raspberry cake for our wedding in Santa Cruz and it was insanely delicious!! Guests were obsessed with it. On top of all, the design was so beautifully performed! Lastly, Paul is so polite, accommodating and professional. Thanks so much Paul!!

were all delicious. In the end we went with a lemon cake, and a mango cake. Our guests loved these cakes! The cake itself was designed beautifully. We added a few flowers of our own to match our theme. They dropped the cake off promptly for us, and there were no worries at all.

d white cake we chose with Raspberry Preserve with Amaretto mousse filling and buttercream frosting!

e. He is really passionate about cake and desserts and has a ton of knowledge. He is also super friendly and not at all pushy. We thought it was really cool that he asked us what flavors we liked and made up a new dessert shot incorporating the coffee flavor we both love. He also has unique options for cake filling--we went with cookies and cream and loved it! All of our guests were raving about how delicious everything was. In addition, Paul was really quick responding to any questions we had and he has a convenient online payment system. He worked really well with our caterer and her staff to keep the dessert bar replenished throughout the entire event. We highly recommend him to anyone for any event!

cake. Highly recommend!!!

ng was, of course, fun, and we got a ton of compliments on our cake! (White cake with mango mousse filling). Just as Paul described to us when we met with him, they do a perfect balance of filling to cake to icing so nothing is too overwhelming. Deliver and all went perfectly and there were no issues along the way. I highly recommend!

ke in the Monterey area for any occasion.

The design was exactly what we wanted and the cake was absolutely DELICIOUS everyone loved it including my husband and I.

ke was exactly what we imagined it to be, and it was very tasty! We got many compliments on how beautiful and delicious it was.

but my guests devoured it all! Thank you!!

as very easy to get in touch with and make an appointment for tastings. We chose the Mango Mousse filling for our cake. We purposely did not reveal the flavor of our cake out cake until after it was consumed by our guests. We did this because many people already have predetermined whether they like mango or not. Many of our guests who admitted that they do not like mango, stated that the cake was really good! Thank you FB&C for making this part of my wedding stress-free and delicious!!

s, the tasting took place in a separate room with a relaxed and unhurried atmosphere. Anna and Paul were very helpful with the design of our cake. MOST IMPORTANTLY the cake was DELICIOUS and FABULOUS! A large number of guests were exclaiming over how delicious and good the cake was.

s without a doubt the best.

our guests how tasty it was, my husband and I sat down the next day and devoured a giant slice. I miss that cake, and cannot recommend Freedom Bakery highly enough (customer service was outstanding, as well). Cannot wait to use them for my next wedding (just kidding! But I'd use them for another party in a heartbeat).

o make our ideas into exactly what we wanted and within budget. Everything turned out beautifully (and delicious) and we received many compliments from our guests. I even managed to eat two pieces of our wedding cake, and my husband LOVED his special groom's cake! We could not have been happier with Freedom Bakery and would recommend them hands down.

ition to other custom desserts. Everything was wonderful, fresh, delicious, and beautiful! The quality and service is unsurpassed. Paul pays attention to every detail, not only with the flavor and quality, but from the details and design to placement and photo ops, and his prices are very reasonable. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

sidence with a barn reception- so I wanted to keep the design simple yet elegant. The cake added to the decor and ambiance of the room. It was hard to decide a flavor because all of the samples taste so good. My husband and I agreed upon the lemon and raspberry cake. Not only were we super happy with the way our wedding cake turned out, many of our guests said it was the best wedding cake they've tasted! Thank you Freedom Bakery!!

moist, with the exact balance of cake & frosting and just enough sweetness. - The cake still tasted JUST AS GOOD after 8 hours of driving back to LA, and in the few days after when we brought leftovers to work. - They were professional, prompt and courteous in all interactions, both in person and via email (which is not always the case with wedding vendors). - They were able to accommodate and match all our wishes for how the cake should look. - The cake was delivered on time, with no snags or hitches whatsoever. Something you will definitely appreciate as a bride on the big day! - When we asked our caterer for recommended wedding cake bakeries in the area, she said this was the best, which says a lot since she's got tons more experience than us in this area and has ongoing relationships with all the local bakeries. Just stop looking, this is hands down the best wedding cake bakery in the area!

Paul's cakes are delicious - he has an assortment of flavors to choose from - we went with 2 flavors - the pistachio lemon and the raspberry filling. All of our guests were very impressed with the presentation and the taste (very moist). We wanted something a bit non-traditional - we had individual Swedish princess cakes (dome cakes with marzipan on the outside - I highly recommend) instead of one large wedding cake. Paul has mainly worked with fondant (as most places do these days), but was happy to try out our ideas and give us a second personalized taste session months ahead of time that catered to the specifics of what we wanted. Freedom bakery set it up beautifully and coordinated with our florist (to decorate the cake table) and hotel to make sure the delivery and setup went smoothly. Paul is a true professional and you can tell he is really passionate about what he does. We will be providing photos once we receive them from our photographer. Thank you!

oist! Best cupcakes I've ever had! Not only did they taste great, but they were also beautiful, and the staff did a great job arrainging them at the venue. We will definitely be referring our friends and family to them for any of their events. We look forward to hiring them again in the future!

a chocolate moose but other options were Boston cream or pistachio. I gave them a picture from pint-erst and they were able to come up with the exact design. Our guest even commented hope delicious the cake was. Great company to work with and would definitely work with them again.

ctly what we wanted for our cake. The cake was fresh and moist. It was so delicious! My wedding guests raved about it and I cannot wait to taste in again in one year as we saved the top layer. Kudos to Paul and his team. They were also very easy to work with and responded to my emails in a promptly matter. You will not regret choosing F&B. the price was right and the was amazing!!

fectly. The cake was moist and the frosting delicious. We can't wait to enjoy our cake topper next year!

Raspberry & Chocolate Ganache/mousse OMG! My foodie and baker crowd all commented on how delicious the cake was with one foodie friend confessing to eating 3 pieces! My groom and I drooled over the left overs for two days following the wedding. If you want great customer service coupled with the best, most beautifully decorated cake, call Freedom Bakery!

e the cake and cupcake bar with succulents and flowers, the whole display was beautiful and everything I envisioned! We would definitely recommend Freedom for any of your dessert needs!

I emailed them pictures of what I wanted the cake to look like, and they double checked with me, and then executed it perfectly. It was exactly what I was hoping for. We ordered The Santa Cruz (white cake with a mango mousse) with buttercream icing. It was probably the last thing I would have expected to choose, and yet it was totally delicious and our favorite option. At the wedding, all of our guests loved it. It was moist, soft, not too sweet, and very refreshing. The icing was creamy and delicious, and I normally dislike icing because of its hard or grainy consistency. In terms of price, I was blown away by how affordable it was, especially considering the high quality of the product! I recommend this bakery to no end! LOVED IT!!!!!

nd Freedom Bakery & Confections.

ered more of it!

decorated with fresh flowers at the venue. We had alternating layers of chocolate and white cake with amaretto and raspberry preserve filling. It was absolutely delicious - moist, soft, great buttercream frosting, simple design with small frosting bulbs around the base of each layer. Freedom delivered the cake to our venue, we didn't have to worry about it at all. Thank you Freedom Bakery for making our day very special!

me to Freedom Bakery, since she had started to see a lot of brides getting their cakes from there. I met with Paul soon after, and had an absolutely phenomenal cake tasting. After trying a lot of boring and not very tasty cakes at other bakeries, I was astounded that every cake flavor I tried was better than the next at Freedom Bakery. In the end I went with a combination of mango white cake and boston cream cake, which was delicious on the day of the wedding. All my wedding guests gave great feedback about it. The way the cake was decorated was less important to me, but Paul did a wonderful job with the simple buttercream three tier-cake adorned with flowers that I requested. Paul was so professional and really knew exactly what I was looking for. He was easy to work with and delivered a fantastic product. Book your wedding cake with Paul at Freedom Bakery with confidence!!

o go with it. I had a 3 layer cake so one layer was chocolate but the boston cream was the main part. Both were delicious and the design was amazing. Paul, the cake designer was very nice and made picking out the cake an easy decision. I highly recommend Freedom Bakery for anyone looking for a great cake and great service.

ion after our cake tasting. They have some great flavors! We received many compliments at our wedding. Our guests especially liked the chocolate cake with raspberry and amaretto filing. Very unique and so delicious. They did a great job. Our cake was beautiful and yummy.

was helpful and pragmatic, and I couldn't have been happier. Would absolutely recommend!

nator save us a piece ahead of time to ensure my husband and I got some. We ate it the next morning and couldn't believe just how amazing it was. I highly recommend Freedom Bakery not only for their superior quality, but also for their great customer service and ease to work with. You won't be disappointed.

nly beautiful but the taste was phenomenal! Thank you Freedom Bakery for everything you did to make our dream dessert bar and wedding cake!

ture. We got many comments from our wedding guests that the cake was really good!

erything was so easy and the cakes were delicious! Our guests loved our cake. We had the pistachio filling on one tier and the mango on another tier and I couldn't decide which one was better because they were both so good. I would highly recommend Freedom Bakery & Confections for any wedding cake or for any other occasion!

d suggested otherwise and I resepcted his honest opinion. I would definitely recommend them for not just a wedding cake, but a cake for any occasion! Let's just say that my husband and parents often bring up about how delicious the cake was. We'll have to order another one for the next occasion!

o weed through our vague ideas and wedding theme to create our perfect wedding cake. He worked out fall theme and personalized cake topper in seamlessly. It was colorful, elegant and tasted amazing! I may be biased 'cause it was my cake... but it was the best tasting wedding cake I have ever eaten or had shoved in my face. I would definitely recommend Freedom Bakery. Between the amazing customer service and the ending product. You can't go wrong.

r office there isn't the best, don't let that make your decision. I loved that they had different kinds rather than your regular chocolate, vanilla, red velvet etc. We ended up getting lemon raspberry for 3 tiers and mango for the 3rd. Mango sounds different, and it was.. but it was SO GOOD. My fiance was the one who insisted we get it. Paul was great too. He knew a lot about all the cakes and didn't push you on anything. He also had a great display book with past cakes that they had done which helped a lot. Although i already knew the look i wanted, it helped seeing that they had done one just like i had in mind. All around, they are great and not too expensive. Their prices were very reasonable! Loved them and would recommend them for sure!

akes were fantastic! Our guests are still talking about how not only did they look good but they also tasted amazing! It was awesome that Paul had never made a king cake before but was able/willing to try something he had never done! With my husband and his family being from New Orleans, it was a great addition to our rehearsal dinner. The King Cake was great, and enjoyed by all. We received so many compliments on all of the cakes! Freedom bakery was a great company to work with and Paul is awesome! I work as a medical resident and my hours are somewhat difficult to work around. Between that and the time difference where we live, Paul was very flexible as far as finding a time to talk outside the normal work hours for planning calls and what not. We would highly recommend them as a vendor for anyone looking for an amazing bakery in the area. Thanks again for helping to make our big day so special! Jenifer & Beau

ghly recommend Freedom Bakery to anyone looking for a cake for their wedding or any other special occasion.

Monterey Bay area!

jor design dilemma! My parents in law brought a traditional fruit cake over from Australia, so we ended up with 2 cakes. Paul came up with the idea to have bunting between and behind the cakes and arranged both of them for us when he delivered the cake we ordered from him - it looked great and I couldn't have been happier! Paul not only came up with the idea, but helped me by following up along the way to make sure that all of the pieces he needed to make the design work would be in place. Also, the cake he made for us was SO GOOD. I can't wait for our anniversary to eat the top layer!

lso very flexible in downsizing my cake when we found out our guest estimate was initially too high. Now about the cake - all the flavors were perfectly balanced, the cake was so moist, and the style and decorations matched our style perfectly. Our guests raved about our cake, and I can’t wait to dive into our anniversary tier. Thanks, Paul for your excellent service and quality cake! I highly recommend your bakery to all.

't seem to care about us as customers. Paul and his team are very knowledgeable and certainly know what they're doing. His shop is cute and the portfolio of options available is endless! I was most impressed with the various designs available. And when we got down to the actual cake and tasting, his cakes were a stand out. We went with a non-traditional red velvet. It was so good that during our cake cutting and feeding at the wedding we had to have a second bite before sitting down to enjoy a full slice, each! Paul is professional, prompt, and attentive to your needs. They'll even let you rent the cake stand/base if you don't want to purchase one. I can't wait to go back to Paul to have him make our anniversary cake for our one year!

mended them so we set up our cake tasting appointment. First of all, the flavors were out of this world, they were all delicious but my husband and I fell in love with the Boston Cream, Classic White Cake filled with Bavarian Cream and Chocolate Ganache.... AMAZING! I had picked a cake style that looked Vintage chic and not only did they match the buttercream cake color to the blush color that matched the wedding colors, but I sent them a picture of my wedding dress and Paul incorporated the detail of the lace on my dress to match on the cake, with rhinestones and all! It was gorgeous! I can't help smile every time I look at pictures of our cake, it was simply beautiful. I received sooo many compliments on the cake that evening and many after on how beautiful it was but ESPECIALLY on how tasty and delicious it was. Everyone kept asking who made the cake! I am beyond happy that Paul and Freedom Bakery were able to create my dream wedding cake, it was perfect and everything I had imagined! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! You will not be disappointed! Thanks again Freedom Bakery and Paul!!!

d up samples and got to taste them o our own time which works REALLY well for us as we are from out of town. (They DO do those fancy sit down tastings also!) I had a problem with my cake topper and Paul really helped me decide not to use mine (it was huge and I had a tiny 60 person cake). He helped me with a solution at the last minute! The lemon raspberry cake we had was so good my husband still talks about it. They are fantastic.
