Gabby and her team at Cake Coquette made our wedding cake, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. Not only was it absolutely delicious, but she also brought our vision to life beautifully. Gabby was a joy to work with, and our friends and family are still talking about how much they loved the cake!

I will also mention that Gabby went above and beyond to make sure we had our cake on time, when we ran into a hitch with pickup the weekend of the wedding. We are so grateful for the support!

If you're looking for a cake for any occasion, Cake Coquette is the place to go!

As a cake baker myself, I was really picky about who I would want to make my wedding cake. After trying three different bakers in the area, here are the reasons we are so glad we went with Cake Coquette:
- BUTTERCREAM DREAM! I was adamant about NOT using fondant on my cake, but still having a beautiful cake. Their buttercream is not too sweet, and she was able to commit and deliver on complex piping that lasted for hours on our wedding day.
- CUSTOM DESIGN. I had a very specific sketch I wanted, and Cake Coquette worked with us on making it come true. We also cut our cake with a sword (lol) so she understood that it needed to survive the cut.
- FLAVOR OPTIONS. Of all the cake boxes we tried, they had the widest range to try, and they were all solid choices.
- COOL STUDIO. If you get a chance, try to see their studio in SF. It’s really beautiful, and they have display sizes of different cakes so you can get a sense of what you want.
PROFESSIONALISM. Timely responses, reasonable rates.
DELIVERY. Our venue was in the Santa Cruz area, farther from SF, through windy mountain roads. The cake made it perfectly.

Thanks all for making my cake dreams come true!

Working with Gabby at Cake Coquette to create a custom Discord birthday cake was such a wonderful experience. She brought our vision to life with a cake that was fun, creative, and perfectly on brand; it truly stole the show. Gabby was thoughtful in the design process, incorporating all the elements I requested and adding her own beautiful touches. Not only did the cake look incredible, but it tasted amazing too. She was organized, responsive, and made delivery and setup seamless. I can’t wait to work with Gabby again on another special cake!

Pleasantly surprised in our wedding cake tasting. The cake was flavorful and the filling gave an appropriate flavor accent without being overly sweet. It was a day and night difference compared to the wedding venue’s default cake vendor. We were telling Gabby about our experience with the other bakery and how the cake tasted old. Gabby told us the cake decorating process is multi-day process and that the cake we’re eating was actually refrigerated. Wow, it was so moist and soft we thought it was baked earlier in the day. (I’m wondering how she accomplishes this in her recipe, more eggs to increase emulsifying the oils? 🧐)
I don’t like raspberry and I particularly don’t like red velvet cake. To my surprise the raspberry filling actually tasted good…not just non-repulsive, but actually pleasing to the palate. This was the first time in my life where the red velvet cake didn’t leave a funny aftertaste. I was being surprised left and right.
In the end I chose a coconut plus chocolate ganache cake. Its ironic, as my parents will attest, I am the most anti-coconut Asian in existence. 😆
I am going to assign the Bestman the task of swiping me an extra slice.🍰
My fiancee picked the strawberry-raspberry cake for the top tier. The accompanying cupcake assortment will be red velvet, salted caramel toffee, and vanilla raspberry.
But in all honesty, you can’t go wrong with anything it all tastes delicious.😋

While the cake was decent, the customer service experience was unfriendly. Was surprised that I felt like I was an inconvenience. Considering the expensive price, I'd recommend going elsewhere.

I asked Gabby at Cake Coquette to design a two-tier Frozen-themed cake for a 5-year-old girl’s birthday party. I emailed her some samples that I found online. And she did not disappoint! The cake was a huge hit at the party. We chose Devil’s food chocolate cake with coconut cream and chocolate ganache, and the outside was fondant. I highly recommend this bakery for custom cakes.

My husband and I went to Cake Coquette to order our wedding cake, and met with Gabrielle. The tasting was delicious, and she was designing the cake based on our input in front of us, like an artist, which in itself was a very cool experience. The cake was absolutely stunning, and delicious. Thank you so much Gabrielle for contributing to making our day extra unique!

We hired Gabby to do our wedding Cake and were beyond happy with how it turned out! She was very helpful throughout the process, ensuring we knew what we needed to provide her and the various cost structures that went into things like the sizing and decoration level. We went with the passion fruit cake, which is a great balance of sweet and fruit!

We provided Gabby with some minimal cake designs ideas that we liked, our own flowers and cake toppers, and she delivered us a stunning cake that more than exceeded our expectations! The price was extremely reasonable as well! Much cheaper than other places we looked at that had strictly worse tasting cake (which to us was the most important part).

We will definitely come back for any other specialty cakes we need.

I threw a 50th birthday bash for my wife at a venue in SF that has art deco vibes. My wife’s Chinese zodiac sign is the tiger, so there was a tiger theme element to the party. I reached out to Gabby at Cake Coquette, and ordered a 3 tier cake. I informed Gabby about the tiger theme and she asked me about the venue. Within a few days she sent me a sketch of a cake that incorporated both the tiger theme and the art deco vibes of the venue. The end result was a beautiful and delicious red velvet cake! The cake was absolutely stunning and perfectly complimented the party themes. Beyond all expectations. My wife loved the cake and we received compliments on the cake all night. The compliments continued the following evening when we had some family over to finish the leftover red velvet cake. It was so good. Cake Coquette is now my go to cake bakery in SF. Thank you Gabby and Cake Coquette !!!
