Soul Cake made the most stunning cake for our wedding. Not only was it visually spectacular and a true work of art, but absolutely delicious. So many of our guests told us how gorgeous the cake was and how tasty, too! The bakery also accommodates gluten-free and other allergy needs, which was a huge plus for us. I will definitely be getting more cakes from Soul Cake in the future, they have so many different styles and occasions to choose from.
Our wedding cake was top to bottom amazing from the design to all the different flavors we chose! We still dream about the cake to this day and our wedding was two years ago. Even our guests still tell us how delicious it was! We will definitely be ordering again for future events!
Soul Cake created our wedding cake and it was absolutely magnificent. Communication with the team was great throughout the process — they answered every question we had quickly and thoroughly, and were super accommodating. Customer service went above and beyond, too; when our delivery plan failed, Soul Cake found a way to work us into their delivery schedule last minute!
The Soul Cake team also talked us through several great options for our custom design, and we ended up with an absolutely stunning cake! We had trouble choosing because all their flavors sounded so amazing, but we went with the honey lavender, chocolate hazelnut espresso, and lemon raspberry — all of which were absolutely delicious. They also provided us with several extra sheet cakes (lemon raspberry and hazelnut espresso) so we’d have enough cake to serve all our guests. We got rave reviews! In addition, we ordered a smaller vegan vanilla raspberry cake that was incredible — one guest said it was the best vegan cake he’d ever tasted. Highly recommend Soul Cake!
Amazing!! Communication was great! They did a sampling for our special dietary needs, and delivered it to my place of work. They only asked for inspiration pictures and our cake was spectacular!! Absolutely beautiful!
Soul Cake created our wedding cake, and we were thrilled with how it turned out. Guests commented on how delicious the cake was, in addition to it's beautiful look. The design of our cake was unique, memorable, and tied in beautifully to the look of the whole event. I couldn't recommend them more!
Absolutely loved my cake. I had water color effects and fresh flowers along with some fondant work. The vegan chocolate espresso cake along with their vegan buttercream is the best cake I have ever had!
Soul Cake created the most beautiful and delicious wedding cake of our dreams. While wedding cakes aren’t known to be delicious, Soul Cake made us the tastiest Orange Cake with Nutella buttercream. Having done a few tastings prior to deciding on Soul Cake, their buttercream is the smoothest while still being light and not too overly sweet. Aesthetically, they are artists. Our cake suited our garden venue and colors beautifully - and it was better than what we could imagine. Looking at our whimsical cake just made us happy! Super easy to work with, and all our guests thought it was really delicious . We won’t be able wait till our first anniversary for another bite of our cake!
We were given a tasting box of five flavors (and enough cake to feed six people!). We could barely decide which one was our favorite!! We ended up going with half chocolate-raspberry and half honey-lavender. Gayoung was so amazing in helping us pick our flavors and our design.
We got married in a museum, and so the "watercolor" aesthetic of these cakes was absolutely perfect. We sent Soul Cake our invitation and they used that as inspiration for the color palette and design. My husband is Chinese, so they also included a gold "Double Happiness" emblem on our cake - it was perfect.
We had so many people come up to us at the wedding to tell us how moist and flavorful (and beautiful) the cake was. No one was disappointed.
Our wedding cakes were worth every penny! I was so happy with the service and product we received from Soul Cake. Everything was perfect, starting with picking up samples and bringing them to my bridal shower for everyone to try. It was such a fun activity and all the flavors were such a hit, it was hard to choose! They made my bridal shower cake dairy-free which was absolutely delicious. We had a beautiful 4-tier cake for our wedding guests, which took my breath away, along with a matching small dairy-free cake for myself. I will absolutely use Soul Cake for any events in the future!
Gayoung (Soul Cake) was an absolute delight. Her cakes were delicious and the artistry is out of this world. We had so much trouble trying to decide on which flavor to choose (because they were all delicious)!!
We opted for a 3 tier cake where the top tier: vanilla cake with two filling layers of espresso-buttercream filling and one (center) layer of salted-caramel-buttercream filling; Blueberry Coconut for the middle tier; and Double Chocolate for the bottom tier.
We are cat lovers so we asked for our cats to be part of the cake. Gayoung originally suggested a cat silhouette at the cake base near the floral. COVID delays meant that she could upgrade her design to 3D printing of our cats. They blended perfectly with simple gray marbling and green/white floral (resembling my bouquet). She even pulled some crumbs from the cake in front of the cats for a whimsical effect.
Everyone loved the cake design and taste (some even went for a second). We really looked forward to tasting the top tier at our anniversary!
We were so happy that we went with Soul Cake for our wedding. They were a breeze to work with. We got a straightforward quote and answers to our questions when we contacted them with what we were looking for. They delivered the tasting samples to us (as it’s still the era of Covid), which were thoughtfully packaged and labeled. We were even able to choose two flavors for our cake size. (Lemon Raspberry and Red Velvet. The Honey Lavender made the selection extra difficult.)
In the end, we got a gorgeous cake that tasted as good as it looked. We couldn’t have been happier to find them!
We absolutely adored working with Soul Cake. The tasting was absolutely torture because every cake sample was so delicious! We ended up selecting the Raspberry and Lemon Chiffon cake, but I had to promise my husband that I would go back and order the Lavender Honey for his birthday.
Gayoung Kim knows what she's doing - her red velvet is an authentic red velvet cake, not the fake red velvet (chocolate cake dyed red) that many bakeries offer.
Guests and vendors at our wedding complimented us not only on how incredible our cake was, but also how it was so beautiful. Highly recommend Soul Cake - absolutely incredible.
I know that words will never be enough to fully describe the way Gayoung perfectly created our wedding cake. She was so tuned in to what we were both looking for from day one. The cake was amazingly FRESH and so moist. My mom makes wedding cakes and I knew that I would be a pretty tough critic. EVERY single guest has made comments and left notes about it. We are forever grateful to have met you and worked with you and I simply cannot wait to order birthday and celebration cakes going forward!!! So, from the bottom of my heart - THANK YOU for making our celebration so special.
Best cake ever!! I'm so happy that I found Soul Cake in my search for a cake baker for my January 2019 wedding. Gayoung is so kind and creative; she was great to work with and super responsive! When we met Gayoung for our tasting, my now husband and I were practically speechless over how amazing the cake flavors were. We opted for the Lemon-Raspberry flavor and all the other flavors we tried were amazing. To create the design, Gayoung asked for pictures of my dress, our invitations, and what sort of flowers we were using and then created an amazing, beautifully personalized cake that fit the theme/style of our wedding. The first thing I did when I got to our venue was run over to see the cake--and it was the most amazing wedding cake I've ever seen (truly!). All of our guests commented on how gorgeous and tasty it was. I highly recommend Soul Cake--you will be beyond happy with your personalized, unique cake and Gayoung is a dream to work with!
The cake was as delicious as it was beautiful! The cake was a huge hit at my wedding and even my vegan sister-in-law could not help but have some of the cake as well it was that good!! My husband and I didn't want to sacrifice quality for aesthetic and Gayoung really delivered. She had a great selection on flavors, designs, and had no problem applying my requests. Gayoung was easy and a pleasure to work with and accepting payment through venmo really made it simple on my end which was appreciated. Thanks so much Gayoung!!
We ordered the lavender honey cake for our wedding and it was so delicious! Gayoung designed a one of a kind cake just for us and it was perfect and more beautiful than we had imagined! I highly recommend Soul Cake for any special event!
I am so glad that I found Soul Cake when searching for a wedding cake. Gayoung's artistry is unparalleled; our wedding cake was stunning, delicious and really looked like a work of art. We received so many compliments from our guests on the cake's elegance. Gayoung also went out of her way to make sure we were pleased, from responding to emails promptly to helping us with florals for the cake. We would highly recommend Soul Cake to anyone!
Gayoung was phenomenal, beginning to end. None of the guests could believe how beautiful the cake was, and once we cut into it they couldn't believe it tasted as good as it looked! Gayoung's buttercream is seriously the absolute best I've ever tasted -- not too sweet, perfectly textured -- and her eye for design is exceptional. Brava!
My husband and I are huge nerds and wanted to incorporate Harry Potter into our big day. I saw Gayoung had done one before so I called to see if she would be willing to make it again.
The cake was absolutely stunning- so elegant and detailed. I am not a huge sweets person, but this was literally the best cake I have ever had!!!
I saw a cake on Pinterest and decided that was the one! I sent Gayoung the picture and she made a sketch where she added detail that made the cake even more beautiful. Everyone in the Wedding loved it, so delicious and beautiful! She always replied to my emails promptly, and the whole process from requesting a quote to having the Cake delivered was very smooth, I had no problems at all. I highly recommend Soul Cake!
The 2 cakes we ordered for our son’s first birthday came out well beyond what we imagined. The cakes looked lovely and he flavors were awesome!
This cake is spectacular! In this case, what you see is what you get and that is pure fabulousness. I am so pleased with your design and my guest were so intrigued. It was definitely a talking piece which gave so much curiosity on whether or not it taste as good as it looked. Let me tell you , you’ve made no mistake. It is just perfect all across the board. What a show stopper at our wedding. Looking forward to many more of your wonderful creations.
I just wanted to say thank you! The cake was absolutely beautiful and it came out just how we wanted it, from the design to the flavor. We and our family and friends were very happy and in the end that is what mattered the most! Again thank you for your hard work and having our vision executed!
We and our guests were very impressed by the cake! It was such a hit and everyone asked me where I got the cake. The only problem was that it was so beautiful, we did not want to cut into this masterpiece. However once we began tasting, it was a spoonful of heaven! Our cake was mouthwatering, smooth, not too sweet, but perfectly delicious! You can definitely tell she uses quality ingredients. Soul Cake was so helpful in the decision process of flavors and decoration too. Now I am a big fan of Soul Cake!
