doodlecakes — Restaurant in Alameda

I came across Doodlecakes in an Alameda Facebook group post, and I'm so glad I did! I asked Rebekah for a custom Skyline Chili cake for my friend's birthday, and was amazed to see she achieved EXACTLY what I was imagining! My friend was blown away when they saw it :)

There were many tempting flavors for a custom cake! After hearing recommendations from Rebekah about what would work best for the design (she clearly knows what she's doing), I ordered a vanilla cake with a mix of vanilla/cream cheese frosting, and whipped cream filling with fresh strawberries and blueberries. The cake was absolutely delicious--everyone at the party raved about how it was moist with the perfect level of sweetness.

Doodlecakes was very communicative about the delivery as well! I was texted about any delays, and called to ensure the cake made it to me safely after I asked a housemate to receive it for me.

All in all, it was easy and a pleasure to work with Doodlecakes on a custom order. I paid $110 for my 6" custom cake + delivery + tax, and it was well worth it! I'll definitely be coming back to Doodlecakes and sending my friends their way for any custom...

Edit: in the past week we've had the absolute pleasure of eating what might be the coolest (and most delicious) Hawaiian-themed cake I've ever seen in my life, and receiving some very special-delivery cupcakes that knocked our socks off. Run, don't walk, to Doodlecakes. They are the kindest, most innovative and generous food craftspeople in the Bay Area. Master artists, hands down, and huge supporters of this community. We love them so much.

Thank you Rebekah and Thomas!

Today my wife and I picked up a custom-made "Yo Gabba Gabba" themed birthday made by Rebekah at Doodlecakes Bakery. I had no idea what to expect when she brought the cake home, so let me just say I was just super impressed and happy with what we received for a mere $45. Perfect design, completely faithful to the kids show, adorable kid-friendly name customization. We're about to sit down for our youngest boy's 3 year birthday party and we could not be more pleased. Thank you so much, Rebekah. You really do...

I can’t say enough good things about this cake shop! I want an elegant and tropical island themed cake, the cake we received was breathtakingly beautiful and absolutely delicious. I got so many compliments from our guests! It was hands down one of the best surprises of the entire reception! 💕🎂

On top of that, we tried their piña colada cupcakes, and WOW. 🍍🧁 They were tropical perfection: moist, flavorful, and unforgettable. I can’t wait to order a full-sized round cake in that flavor for my next birthday!

What really impressed us is how well they tailored the sweetness. My husband, our friends, and I all have low sugar tolerance, so we asked them to make the cake less sweet—and they nailed it. It was perfectly balanced and flavorful. They are not just for instagrams —we actually ate and enjoyed every bite!

This place is a true treasure in the Bay Area. If you’re planning a wedding, celebration, or just want to treat yourself to something special,...
