These cookies turned out perfect for our Bay Area sports fan! Also picked up our favorite Dream Cake for the party! We usually go to the Watsonville location, but it's nice to not have to drive so far and pick up in Monterey now. Over the years, we've appreciated the consistent excellent service too!

We used Freedom Bakery for our wedding in Carmel-by-the-Sea this past October, and they were a joy to work with. The design process was incredibly smooth; we chose an existing design we loved directly from their website, which made decision-making so easy.
The cake was absolutely stunning and tasted fantastic—we chose the Bavarian cream, and it was a huge hit with our guests. Freedom Bakery handled the delivery directly to La Playa Hotel, and the cake was placed perfectly when we arrived for our reception. If you want a beautiful, delicious cake and a vendor that makes the logistics look easy, I highly recommend Freedom Bakery!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED I am a first time customer to Freedom Bakery. I was looking for the perfect cake for my sister’s birthday - what I received exceeded my expectations!! Not only was the design (Cherry Blossom Tree w/ Full Moon) and sentiment exactly as I wanted the cake was hands down one of the best cakes I think I’ve ever had - Chocolate Chiffon w/ Chocolate Ganache & Mousse. “Light, Fluffy and Melts in your Mouth”, indeed!!!
Customer Sevice was also great. I called the main branch (Watsonville) to insure the sentiment I wanted was clear. The young lady that answered was kind, attentive and on it.
Cake was picked up in Monterey where upon arrival we were welcomed warmly and immediately offered tastes from their sampler platter - all delicious!!
Experience across the board 5-Stars. The Cake a 10+++!!

I ordered a birthday cake for my husband’s birthday, and it was absolutely perfect! The design was beautiful — exactly what I envisioned — and the flavor was even better. It truly made the celebration extra special.

Paul and the team at Freedom did an incredible job with our wedding cake. From our first phone call, Paul was committed to bringing our vision to life. He went above and beyond to make sure that we could have a full four-tier cake with transparent layers in between each tier - working through the structure, placement, and decor with me, down to the tiniest detail. Paul really put in the time and effort to bring me into the process so I could understand the constraints and tradeoffs - and the end result was truly amazing! In addition, Paul met my entire family for a tasting, and really made us feel welcome. Finally - Paul worked directly with our venue to coordinate dropoff and setup, which meant I could be completely in the moment on our wedding day. I’m so grateful that I met Paul, and I recommend Freedom to anyone looking for an incredible baker and partner for their event!

We were so happy with the cupcakes from Freedom for our wedding! The tasting box was helpful in nailing down some initial flavors (note for vegetarians: most flavors in the box have mousse, which is not vegetarian - they were very helpful with sorting through all that), and then they graciously gave us a dozen cupcakes later due to a mix-up with picking up our box, where we got a variety of other frosting flavors as well. Every single one looked beautiful and was easy to pick up and drive over to our venue two blocks away.
Tania was super easy to work with. The only difficult part of the whole process was deciding on flavors!!! (We ended up with salted caramel, cinnamon chocolate, red velvet, caramel frappe, and raspberry lemon, if you're wondering, but there were plenty more to choose from!)

Ordered two cakes on short notice for a retirement and graduation event. They did a great job customizing and getting everything done online. Excellent carrot cake and chocolate mousse cake. Perfect job!
The dream cake was absolutely divine! Super fluffy and a great chocolate flavor, light and airy frosting too!

Freedom Bakery made our wedding cake and it was beautiful and delicious. After sampling other places it was clear they had the best tasting cake. They were able to make our cake exactly as we wanted it and delivered it on time with no issues.

Freedom Bakery was the yummiest addition to our dream wedding! We postponed twice, and they graciously accommodated the date changes. We had white cupcakes with raspberry lemon, chocolate cupcakes with mint chocolate chip, white cupcakes with ganache and chocolate buttercream, and a carrot cake for the next day :) All cupcake flavors were crowd pleasers, and guests definitely went back for seconds. We also loved the carrot cake (the bride's favorite) in the days following the wedding. Working with the Freedom Bakery team was an absolute joy, and we can't recommend them more!
