Ali and team made the most beautiful and delicious cake for our wedding. We wanted a 2 tier dark teal cake so that our florist (Flower House 805) could add bright colorful flowers. The cake was perfect and we added our dog as the topper. We chose chocolate with vanilla bean buttercream for bottom layer and Champagne with blueberry buttercream for top - loved both but the chocolate for sure was my fave! Both Micki and Ali were very communicative and we ended up making a minor change (sizing) 2 weeks before with no issues. Highly recommend The Sugar Lab for all your cake needs.
Micki and her team were great! We used them for our wedding cake, we did a two tier vintage style cake that was beautiful! I love the tasting box you can order to taste all their different flavors. My husband and I had so much fun trying different flavors each night on the weekend we picked up our box. We ordered a small cake for pictures and two kitchen cakes for 250 guests. All the cakes were delicious!
I was thoroughly impressed with the level of customization Sugar Lab Bake Shop and Micki offered. They took my ideas and preferences into account, and the end result exceeded my expectations. Communication throughout the process was seamless, with prompt responses to any queries or concerns I had.
Moreover, the taste of the cake was simply divine. Everyone loved our cake, and we wish they got to taste all the different flavors! And of course, the presentation was just absolutely beautiful!
In terms of service, Micki was professional, reliable, and accommodating. She ensured that the cake was delivered on time and in pristine condition, making the entire experience hassle-free. I highly recommend Sugar Lab Bake shop for your wedding cake and desserts for any special event!
Sugar Lab absolutely nailed our wedding dessert table dreams! We wanted a small cake that we could cut during cake cutting for our wedding and get photos of but we didn't want a cake big enough to serve our guests. Sugar Lab helped us pick out the most perfect sized cake for my husband and I to cut during our wedding, as well as provided the most delicious mini cupcakes for our guests to enjoy. The banana cake with cinnamon cream cheese frosting is INCREDIBLE!
Prior to our wedding we picked up a cake tasting box and had sooo much fun trying the many combinations they had to offer. We have talked about that box for months and even discussed getting another one just to eat.
Ali and Mickie communicated with us well and always answered all of our questions and concerns quickly. We felt totally at ease and never once worried about our cake or dessert table while wedding planning. We knew we were in great hands with Sugar Lab. They delivered the cake on time and it was stunning! Our guests still remind us how much they loved the mini cupcakes and all of the flavors.
I would highly recommend Sugar Lab for any and all dessert needs.
Sugarlab did the most amazing job for our wedding dessert bar. Cookies, brownies, cupcakes, and so much more. It was delicious, abundant, and looked beautiful. Micki was fantastic to work with leading up to the event day, and Ali made sure delivery and setup was seamless. Thank you Sugarlab for taking such great care of us.
Sugar Lab catered our wedding this past December, and they did great. The desserts were a huge hit. They were delicious, and there were none left at the end of the wedding! I highly recommend them for your event.
Sugar Lab came recommended by a vendor friend of mine in the wedding industry. We schlepped to Ventura from Encino for our tasting and it was the best tasting cake we tried out of 7 bakeries. Pricewise it was in the middle of the options we tried. We ordered a two tier Lemon cake with lemon curd and swiss butter cream, and a kitchen cake of vanilla bean cake with raspberry jam and swiss buttercream. Our cake was delivered to our venue and decorated with pressed edible flowers I provided. Sadly, our venue never cut into the separate cake to provide two options, but that is on them, both were delicious. We also ordered a dozed gluten free cupcakes and a dozen vegan cupcakes to cater to those guests. Thank you Sugar lab for the delicious cake, we are looking forward to our anniversary cake already
I recently ordered a cake from Sugar Lab on behalf of my two beloved friends. First, you'd be amazed at how many bakeries in Ventura County won't do a same sex wedding. Was not an issue at all for Sugar Lab. Secondly, the cake was incredibly delicious! We chose three different flavors, one for each tier, and each was more delicious than the prior. Lastly, we had a snafu the day of the wedding. We left the cake in the sun and the fondant began to melt. The team at Sugar Lab didn't hesitate. They made a special trip back to the bakery and patched the cake. They did such a beautiful job that no one could tell the difference. I cannot recommend Sugar Lab enough. They are spectacular.
We loved our wedding cake from sugar lab! Micki made us a beautiful two tier cake with vintage style frosting. It was delicious !!! Highly recommend!
Loved this bakery! Had a cute little cake for our wedding and they even made it gluten free which was a win for us! Definitely recommend for your wedding dessert!
We are SO thrilled that we chose Sugar Lab to create our wedding cake! Our 5-tier all-white wedding cake with multiple flavors was absolutely gorgeous and the most delicious thing ever. From our cake tasting to the wedding day itself, we couldn’t have been in better hands. Thank you Sugar Lab for making our wedding cake dreams come true!!! Stop looking for your wedding cake vendor, you have found the best one right here!
We hired Sugar Lab for our wedding and they were amazing from start to finish! Micki was very responsive and super helpful in helping us figure out how much to order and how much variety to have. We had zero hiccups on our wedding day (they set up during the cocktail hour), our dessert table was so beautiful, and our guests said everything was delicious (we ordered a two tier cake, cupcakes, cookies, and mini pies). I'd highly recommend hiring Sugar Lab for your wedding or event.
We started our vendor search in the heat of COVID, so The Sugar Lab helped us figure out our cake by giving us a take home kit with all the sponges, icings, fillings, and even their small desserts to get a full taste of what they had to offer. We ended up going with a 3-tier cake, each tier a different flavor, and from what I heard, the cake was very good. (note to all brides & grooms: if you want to eat some cake, make sure you assign someone to bring it to you, there's too much going on otherwise)
The other nice perk, especially since we had a destination wedding, is that they will bake and ship the top tier of your cake for your one year anniversary; can't wait to taste the cake then!
The only potential negative was that we had ordered cake and desserts for ~140, but due to COVID and other various reasons, we only had 100 show up. We attempted to cancel the additional desserts, but were only allowed to cancel half of the order. They are a business, so I get it, and without that hiccup, The Sugar Lab was flawless.
Sugar Lab was recommended to me by our wedding coordinator for our wedding cake after our other cake place had fallen through. We didn't have time to try any of the flavors out before our big day(out of town). I trusted the reviews and my coordinator with our three tier wedding cake and could not have been happier!! It came out beautifully. We had flowers to be placed on the cake and they did a great job recreating the concept photo. The flavors were out of this world delicious! We went for the chocolate, raspberry with lemon, and birthday cake. All flavors were a hit! Thanks Sugar Lab!!
