The design and taste of my wedding cake was immaculate and guests were raving about it for the entire night. I had a rather large wedding, requiring a large cake and several sheet cakes to feed everyone. Although my cake was of large quantity, this did not effect the quality of each layer. I would highly recommend You Need A Cake.

We had an amazing experience with You Need A Cake!!! I loved the option of doing the cake testing at home especially because my partner is so busy so scheduling an in person cake testing would have been stressful. We were able to pick up a platter of so many different flavors and icings and try them at home over a few days. We ended up going with the lemon blueberry cake with cheese cream frosting. Since the wedding I have been hearing NON STOP how amazing the cake was. The set up was so smooth and she did such an amazing job decorating the cake. The whole process was so smooth and the cake was delicious. Highly recommend You Need A Cake!

Yunita was professional when we ordered our cake. She looked at the photo I brought and knew we would need a bigger cake for our gathering. The cake was beautiful, and the flavors were delicious and the cake was moist . For the size of the cake and the decorating that went into it, I was surprised at how affordable it was. I would definitely recommend this bakery for all special occasions.

Yunita listened and understood exactly what we wanted, and made the decision process fun. The cakes were gorgeous and exceeded our expectations. Everyone in the business, from our venue to the DJ, told us Yunita is the best, and they were right.

I cannot say enough about how incredible Yunita is! She has done several cakes for me and my best friend throughout the years and did my besties wedding cake. From the moment I first saw her work I knew she HAD to be my cake lady for my wedding. She is so creative and was extremely communicative and professional. My husbands favorite part of the entire planning process was the amazing cake tasting we did with Yunita. She even went absolutely above and beyond to create a perfect replica of my husbands Cessna 180 airplane for his grooms cake. All of our guests raved about how delicious the cake was and there was barely any left at the end of the night!
I cannot recommend Yunita enough!

Yunita was wonderful! We had a naked cake and brought our own flowers which she was able to decorate with. The cake turned out gorgeous and it was one of my favorites I've ever eaten. Our guests loved and kept asking where we got it from. I would absolutely recommend Yunita!

Yunita was phenomenal! She and her team made our wedding cake, and she is clearly very talented. The cake was delicious, and was exactly what we had envisioned for our wedding day. Yunita was also a timely communicator. She even added on 60 personalized cookies for us last minute!
My only minor complaint is that we did ask for a little extra detailing on our cake that was forgotten, but it still was truly beautiful. 5 stars from us!

Amazing cake & amazing service! I sent them pictures of two cakes (bridal & groom's cake) and they made exactly what I wanted, not to mention both were absolutely delicious. I felt like I made a million changes and asked so many questions throughout the process and Yunita was so kind & helpful every time. We couldn't be happier with how both cakes turned out!

My daughter chose to do a small 3 tier cake and then have a dessert table. Everything was so good that we did not have any left overs except the top of the cake for the couple. We did strawberry cake with strawberry filling. Cakes shooters (Red velvet, Italian cream, Chocolate and Vanilla). All delicious. We also did lemon bars, cake pops, and macarons. We have nothing bad to say. It was all yummy.

Best tasting cake ever. We went into wedding cakes knowing nothing . We got educated on everything ! Flavor combos , decorations , size , costs . They educated us and fed us more cake then we could handle . We ending up getting enough cake for each guest to have 2 slices . They made us a 5 tier 3 flavor combo cake . It was unreal. The tie dye cookies and cream topper was unreal . The lemon blueberry was fresh and summery , then the classic French wedding bottom tiers were spot on . They decorated the cake with flowers and it was spectacular . Honestly can’t wait till I need another cake I’m calling these guys first !

Our cake was, by far, the most beautiful we had ever seen. Our guests were in awe and couldn't stop taking pictures. On top of that, it was delicious.
They are extremely helpful and flexible with multiple cake, icing and filling options. I cannot recommend You Need A Cake enough!

I cannot express how amazing Yunita is! She took our vision for our wedding cake (and grooms cake) and made them come to life! I loved doing our tasting with her because of how it’s set up and also because she helps you find flavors you and your guests will love. Her cakes so so moist and flavorful that it almost doesn’t seem real. We didn’t have a lot of cake leftover, but the next day at a family brunch people were literally arguing over who was going to be able to get another slice because it’s just that good. We loved working with Yunita, and we will definitely use her again in the future for birthday cakes and other event cakes.

Yunita is the most sweet lady who really cares about her brides. I showed her a picture of a cake she did years ago that I loved and she remembered the brides name right off the top of her head. She takes a lot of time at the tasting picking your brain and making sure she nails down exactly what you envision for your big day. Her cakes are the absolute best and she has a very large variety. She made my wedding cake and the grooms cakes and they were a huge hit and everything we could have imagined and more. Yunita makes the cakes for all of our family events now. Her prices are great for the quality of product. I will forever recommend you need a cake to everyone I know.

Yunita with You Need a Cake is simply amazing. Not only does she make beautiful cakes, but she is an overall great person. Her work speaks for itself. She can make any idea come to life! After my wedding, I received so many compliments on my cake - not only the design, but the taste. I would 100% recommend You Need a Cake!

Our Yunita was fantastic! Our wedding cake was three tiers tall with marbled fondant and gold through the middle sort of like a geode. The outer most color was supposed to be royal blue, but she made it black for some reason? either way the black was even more stunning! The cake tasted fantastic! I would definitely go with Yunita again, just maybe be very specific on which colors you would like if you're picky about something like that.

You need a Cake was the best experience! We met Yunita at her shop and taste tested some delicious cake, she helped me design my dream cake, which was very simple yet elegant, due to Covid our guest list shrunk to half, but not to worry, Yunita made a beautiful cake and it was gone by the end of the night! They delivered the cake to the venue, placed my heirloom cake toppers on the cake and placed some flowers strategically on the cake for a little pop of color. We had the best time testing the cake at the shop and even got to take the rest of the samples home with us for the rest of the family to try! I will be using Yunita from now on. She is super professional and sweet. Also payment was easy, and she always answered any questions we had via email in a timely manner. Over all a wonderful business!

Yunita is so very sweet and her cakes taste amazing! She has a great selection of flavors and her cakes are beautiful. Her baking skills are superb but her business/logistics skills leave something to be desired. The wrong cake and only half of my cupcakes were delivered to the venue on wedding day. Luckily I had an amazing coordinator who knew what I ordered and noticed that it was the wrong cake and was able to get a hold of her to drop of the correct cake. Additionally, our favorite flavor of cupcakes was never delivered and my coordinator was told that we didn’t order that flavor even though she was looking at an invoice with that listed. Everything tasted great, but we almost didn’t get what we ordered or have enough to feed our guests.

I love Yunita! She’s such a witty, fun person! But her awesomeness aside, her cakes are incredible!! They are always moist and delicious! I am a local wedding planner and have worked with Yunita on so many weddings/events. I always recommend her to my clients because she has the unique quality of being able to create cakes that are gorgeous and also delicious!! She has a wide variety of artistic skills, so if you have an idea or something you’ve seen, she can recreate it or create something similar but with your special flair! She’s honest and has great recommendations for couples to maximize your cake needs. She knows cakes! If you need a cake, You Need A Cake!

Oh my goodness! You need a cake from Yunita. French vanilla cake with French buttercream and raspberry filling. I’ve never had anything so delightful! Details were so perfect. You need a cake went above and beyond with out original astronaut topped bridal cake. I’m sure other places are good but this is the absolute best!

Yunita was absolutely amazing and my cake was everything I could have hoped for! I used Rootstock Floral for my flowers and Yunita and Kylie worked so well together to make the cake of my dreams. The first time I saw the cake out of the corner of my eye when I arrived to the venue I had to stop and it took my breath away. It also tasted amazing! The Groom's Cake was everything my husband could ask for as well. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Yunita is so sweet, just like her cakes! The cakes are as beautiful as they are delicious. She was able to create exactly what we wanted flavor and design wise. Our cakes looked exactly like the pictures that we gave to her. We can’t wait for our first anniversary so we can enjoy our cake again.

There is nobody like Yunita. She has a heart of gold and is so much fun to work with. She took our wildest ideas and turned them into everything we wanted and more. A lot of times cakes look beautiful but don’t taste the best - well with Yunita you get both. We expected to have some cake left after our wedding and no. People were talking about the cake for days and how they had to have more. We can’t wait to work with Yunita in the future.
She made the entire process so easy and stress free. We can’t thank you enough for all that you do.

WOW!!! Yunita made our wedding cakes and they were by far and above the best cakes I’ve ever eaten. It’s been over a week and I’m still getting raves about it! The spice cake, the lemon cake & filling, and the cookies & cream filling were the favorites. From the tasting to the big day, Yunita was so easy to work with, open to our ideas, and extremely professional. Of all the choices we made for our wedding, this was by far the best (minus each other, obviously!)
I loved the ability to rent a cake stand OR buy our own and she was very good at guiding us on what work or what wouldn’t. We ended up renting because our bridal cake was massive (we expected 180 guests.) Yunita did a wonderful job of explaining how much cake we would need and at the end of the night, we only had about a 1/3 of one tier and 2/5 of another left (which we snacked for four days!)
At our tasting, Yunita had a tablet with examples of other work she had done but also looked at some of the photos we had brought in. My groom really wanted a Batman cake but had a few different ideas. Yunita was able to put them together flawlessly and his cake turned out just nerdy enough!

Ms Yunita is so awesome to work with. The cakes were so delicious. You can not go wrong with You Need A Cake. The cakes were perfect down to the last detail of having the grooms cake match the colors of the grooms tux. I can’t wait for the next event where I will need a cake. Book her early I promise you will not be disappointed. They are delicious and she is wonderful a real sweetheart. Thank you for everything Ms Yunita.

Yunita was awesome!! The tasting was so fun and she was totally open to new ideas but also had great suggestions of things she’s done before. My husband is a film major, so she made him a film reel grooms cake and it looked amazing. Also the best cake I’ve ever tasted!! The day of the wedding she was in and out and I didn’t have to worry about anything. I’ll always recommend Yunita!!

Yunita did an outstanding job on my wedding cake! She did a 4-tier purple and gold geode cake with a geode slice cake topper! Everyone thought they were real crystals she did such an amazing job! The cake was also sooo delicious! Three words: SALTED CARAMEL ICING!!! All of her icing and cake flavors stand out from you average boring wedding cake. Book Yunita if you want people to be impressed by not only her amazing designs but he wonderful taste! The cake tasting tray was so much fun to do with my groom! And she will bake you a fresh cake on your anniversary so you can use all of your cake and not worry about freezing the top tier. She was very excited every time we talked and really puts all her effort into her work! She also did our wedding shower cake and we had people asking if they could take it home it was so good! She also made an all gold cake for my sister's wedding last year! You're in good hands and will have no worries if you book with her!

This box does not give me enough characters to state how awesome she is. I went to every "it" cake baker in the city. Their cakes tasted like grocery store box cake compared to hers. Her attention to detail will make your wedding cake something that people will talk about for years. But after working with her it is her personality compared to other cake bakers that make is so that she is not just someone that I will recommend for wedding cakes. If I have to plan a party for someone else, if I ever have a baby that needs a birthday cake, if I need a cake for an event, she will be the person making it because she becomes a friend when she makes a cake for you. Seriously, go to a meeting with her about your wedding cake and try to not like her because you will leave wondering if you should invite her to your wedding and have her set with your family.

Yunita is so wonderful and so are her cakes! We planned our wedding after we were home from a deployment and had three months to get all the final details worked out.

Yunita is the sweetest person ever. We had an appointment scheduled with another baker, but Yunita could get us in several months earlier, so she was our first stop. She made such a wonderful impression on us and gave us heartfelt advice/ideas for our cake that made us decide that day that we would want her to make our wedding cake. During the tasting, she provided us with several different fillings and flavors, all of which were AMAZING. She absolutely nailed the design I had in mind and paired it with a very beautiful cake stand. After the wedding, we got several compliments on the cake from our wedding guests, saying how it wasn’t just beautiful but also super moist and delicious. We chose not to save our top layer but I do plan on contacting Yunita later on in the year for a little anniversary cake. She will be the baker we plan to use for any future cake needs for our family. I would highly recommend her to anyone!!

We scheduled a cake tasting with Yunita and after we arrived and started tasting her wonderful cakes we knew she had to make our wedding cake. So many times the wedding cake looks beautiful, but doesn’t genuinely taste good. That was not the case using Yunita! My wedding cake was a 3 tier almost naked cake that perfectly captured the vibe of my wedding. I got so many compliments on how delicious the cake was and how beautiful it looked. Yunita was so wonderful to work with and has a real talent for what she does! We absolutely loved working with her!

Yunita brought my vision to life! I knew what I wanted, tried to convey my ideas to Yunita, and the end result was spectacular! But as beautiful as the cake was, somehow it managed to taste even better than it looked. As I was searching for someone to make my cake, I found all these inspiration photos online. Come to find out, Yunita made several of the cakes I had picked as inspiration pics to show to whomever I chose to make my cake. That's when I decided "why not go to the source". Book Yunita. You will not be disappointed.
