Cake Coquette — Restaurant in San Francisco

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...

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...

Gabby will help you succeed personally and professionally! Ordered 2 cakes from her recently. The first was a birthday cake in the shape of an archery target. It turned out exactly as described and guests raved about the taste. The second cake was a sculpture of a hotel, the Hilton San Francisco Union Square. It was a magnificent creation, with extraordinary detail and breathtaking grandeur - a perfect corporate thank you gift. The staff at the Hilton was blown away. Both cakes were the Classic White flavor (vanilla cream cheese, raspberry puree, and fresh strawberries)...highly recommended.

The customer experience was also fantastic. Gabby was very responsive via email and took extra care to help flesh out my ideas for maximum impact. She makes you feel well taken care of every step of the way, right down to the time of pickup, when she personally helped load the heavy hotel cake into my car and offered tips on safe transport.

Gabby is not merely a cake designer...she's a creator of memories which will...
