We hired Sarah for our wedding last weekend, and she was an absolute delight to work with! From the moment we met her at our tasting, we were impressed by her kindness, attentiveness, and incredible desserts. She is not only creative with her flavors but also flexible in accommodating dietary needs, offering dairy-free, gluten-free, and nut-free options for our guests with allergies, which we really appreciated. Throughout the process, she was approachable, communicative, and truly went above and beyond.
Sarah exceeded our expectations with both the stunning presentation and, of course, the beyond-delicious taste of each dessert. The macarons, trifle cups, and mini cupcakes were phenomenal! Our guests couldn’t stop raving about them, and honestly, we wish we had ordered more than 2.5 per person! We opted for a personal cake and we absolutely loved it! It was exactly what we had envisioned. We highly recommend Sarah for any event. We've already passed her information along to friends and family who are getting married!

We couldn't be happier with the dessert table and wedding cake from Sarah's Dessert Bar! From the initial consultation to the final bite, the entire experience was nothing short of spectacular.
The dessert spread was one highlight of our reception. We had a delightful assortment, including tres leche cups, ube cookies and cream, cream puffs, and a colorful macaron tower. Each item was meticulously crafted, making the dessert table a true feast for the eyes. The flavors were out of this world!
Working with Sarah was a pleasure. They were incredibly professional and attentive, taking the time to understand our preferences and providing helpful recommendations. The desserts were delivered on time and set up with care, allowing us to enjoy our day without any stress. We even got to check out a government building thanks to them! Their desserts added an extra touch of sweetness and elegance to our celebration, and they were a huge hit with our guests. We couldn’t have asked for better, and we wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking to elevate their event with exquisite desserts.
The cake was a true work of art. We wanted something classic yet unique, and she and her team nailed it perfectly. The intricate details and beautiful decorations exceeded our expectations and matched our wedding theme flawlessly. Not only did the cake look amazing, but it tasted incredible too! We opted for a red velvet flavor with strawberries and cream filling that worked out so well! We are saving our top tier for our anniversaries, but it’s so hard not eat it because it’s so good haha! The cake and desserts were delivered on time and set up beautifully, allowing us to enjoy the day without any worries.
We highly recommend Sarah’s Dessert Bar for anyone looking to make their wedding day extra special. The combination of stunning design, delectable flavor, and outstanding service made our cake a standout feature of our celebration.Thank you, Sarah, for making our wedding even more memorable!

My wife and I recently had a destination wedding at Sunset Cliffs in San Diego, CA. Initially trying to find a cake in an area you are unfamiliar with is stressful. We came across Sarah’s Dessert Bar online and read the reviews and comments and decided to get some information. Sarah was not only extremely helpful and responsive but also very pleasant and professional. She made us exactly what we wanted and it was delicious! People are still talking about how good the cake was. I’m extremely grateful to Sarah for making this experience easy and for helping to alleviate some stress. She was punctual so I was not worried after the ceremony about where the cake might be. She made the cake absolutely gorgeous and delicious. I definitely recommend Sarah’s Dessert Bar to anyone! 5 stars all the way! Once again Sarah, thank you for the wonderful and stress free experience as well as the amazing cake you made for us!

Everyone attacked our dessert table and many came back for more! Everything came out soooo delicious!!! Not to mention she was able to get a tire print for our cake. Definitely will be getting cakes and dessert from her again! Highly recommend!!!☺️

From the first moment we connected with Sarah, we knew we wanted to go with her for our wedding day desserts and cake! After being disappointed by the quality of a few cake/dessert tastings from other highly rated vendors in San Diego, we were really hoping to find someone that made tasty desserts, that fit within our budget, and that could bake a beautiful and delicious cake. That’s when we found Sarah’s Dessert Bar. We called and actually spoke to Sarah herself. We scheduled a tasting and actually got the chance to sit down with her, talk about which desserts were our favorites, and hear recommendations from her on what desserts were most popular with guests at previous weddings/events. Sarah was very accommodating in letting us choose a cake type/filling combination that wasn’t on her menu. As we got closer to the wedding, Sarah was very communicative and made us feel reassured that she would take care of everything on the big day. As the days counted down, we found ourselves really excited to eat more of the desserts from Sarah (we even asked her to set aside a small box for us in case the desserts were eaten quickly). The salted caramel macarons, lemon bars, Lemon trifle cups, and Chocolate pot de creme were our absolute favorites. On the day of the wedding, Sarah delivered all of the desserts and set them up beautifully on the dessert table. All of our guests would not stop talking about how delicious the desserts were, and when we cut our cake, we didn’t want to stop eating it after the first piece. At the end of our wedding night, we were SO excited to dig into our special box of desserts from Sarah. We cannot recommend Sarah’s Dessert Bar enough for any special event dessert needs you have. Sarah is our new go-to baker for all of our dessert needs for any special occasion.
