Carolyn Wong Cakes

Awsome Cakes! Just love this place!

Got the cake and it was so pretty AND delicious!
Again, Carolyn was very accommodating. On the day I was supposed to pick up the cake, my sister decided to pick it up but was going to be late, so we called Carolyn and asked if we could pick it up 3 hours later and she said yes!
The cake looked even better than we were expecting. I loved how Carolyn added the green bows on the cake, and the color of the polka first Everyone at my nephews birthday complimented it and couldn’t believe the cake was real. When we cut the cake, I selfishly tried both cakes and they were both amazing! I first tried the salted caramel, which was super rich, then I tried the passion fruit mousse, and it was heavenly. I loved the fondant on top and the cream, and everyone at the party loved the cake too. I even took the leftover cake home because I loved it so much!
If I ever need a custom cake, I’ll be sure to order through Carolyn! Thank you Carolyn!

Carolyn was all we could ask for when it came to our wedding cake. Carolyn is beyond creative with not only her talented cakes and cookies, but also with your wedding’s budget and visions. Carolyn made my wedding cake dream come true and almost every single guest has commented on how amazing the cake tasted! When I explained my ideas for my cake to Carolyn she instantly made me feel that she was excited to be part of the wedding. She made each interaction smooth, professional, and welcoming. I am forever grateful for having gotten to work with Carolyn and will continue to rave about her and her cakes! Highly recommend!

I’m sure Carolyn doesn’t need another review, but here goes another one from an event planner! Carolyn and I have worked on a handful of weddings, and she has impressed with her professionalism and artistry every single time. She totally rises to a challenge too – I had a client request a special pandan tres leches, and she totally came through. It looked beautiful and tasted great too (can’t say that all the time with other bakeries and bakers). On top of that she is just lovely and easy to work with. It’s a reason why she’s been in the game for so long. Thank you, Carolyn!

Carolyn makes the most amazing cakes I’ve ever seen! Her attention to detail is unparalleled! I got her sticky toffee pudding for a party and it was the hit of the dinner!

I cannot say enough great things about Carolyn Wong’s cake! We selected her for our February 2012 wedding and the cake was not only beautiful but it was DEEEEELICIOUS! We asked her to make a cake for my husband’s parent’s 40^th anniversary. It was just as beautiful. thank you Carolyn!

Carolyn is great to work with. She prepared our cake just like we wanted and the flavours were simply amazing! We highly recommend the salted caramel and lemon+blueberries flavours. Thank you Carolyn!

First things first, we made the best decision on selecting Carolyn Wong Cakes. Communication was great from the start. She made it incredibly easy and stress free and was very supportive. Three cakes, one wedding cake and two grooms cakes. Honestly, we trusted her 100% to do what she does best and create great tasting cakes. She delivered beyond our expectations!

I had never ordered a personalized cake before and I did not know where to start. Thank you, Unilocal community for sharing your experiences with photos and reviews.
I filled out the form she has on her website. She responded via email the same day with questions about my vision for the cake design. I emailed her back with design examples. I eventually called her to further discuss details (i.e., how to make my vision fit my budget restrictions). She was helpful with recommendations. She emailed me the invoice. I sent her my deposit (50% of total).
Fast forward to pick-​up day, Carolyn opened the cake box to reveal the finished product (a one-​tier cake for 30 baby shower guests). I was very happy with the result. I shared when the cake would be eaten and she told me when to take the cake out of the fridge.
The cake received SO many compliments about how much it synced with the baby shower theme and how absolutely delicious it was. With the help of mama-​to-​be, I selected the lemon mousse, lemon curd, vanilla chiffon cake. Let’s just say that fortunately there were leftovers that mama-​to-​be devoured when she returned home.
I will keep Carolyn Wong in mind for future cakes. Great taste and presentation.
Please note that cake tastings are not offered for orders under 50 servings.

This review is based solely on customer service and not on the cakes.
Wow. I have never received a more rude response to a general email about getting a wedding cake made. Carolyn Wong emailed me back to say that she only does cakes for parties of 25 or more and that I should go to my local «retail» cake shop and buy there. So rude. There are better responses than to tell me to go to a local «retail» shop. Jerk. Stay away from this rude owner.

Our search for a wedding cake began with a very well-​know East Bay bakery that increased their original quote by $ 100+ because of the design we wanted. We never quite understood why our design required what was a significant stray from our budget, but we politely declined and chose to look further. Then my hubs-​to-​be was reminded of Carolyn Wong, with whom he used to work many years ago, and we’re so thankful!
Her cakes taste absolutely delicious, so much so that we chose 2 flavors: salted caramel and passionfruit. The design we wanted was a recreation of the motif on our invitation — her response was «no problem». She also gave us the recommendation of having smaller wedding cake tiers plus a sheet cake, which actually priced things below our budget. We didn’t want a cake topper so she asked if we’d mind her adding succulents as an accent.
On the big day the cake was delivered on time and absolutely beautiful. Beyond that, it tasted amazing… to the degree that aside from our one piece at the wedding and the piece we managed to grab at the end to take home, it was all snatched up. She’s very professional and very talented — I would recommend her in a heartbeat.

Our wedding cake was beautiful and delicious! Our guests were fighting over the last few slices. Excellent service and superior quality! I would highly recommend Carolyn to everyone. Thank you so much, Carolyn!

Carolyn designed my wedding cake for our beautiful ceremony last Sat Aug 16, 2014. She was awesome. The cake was beautiful and delicious!!! We picked 2 flavors, passion fruit mousse and mocha with chocolate cake. They were both so yummy! Carloyn is very talented, very attentive to detail and a very easy and reliable person to work with. She actually answers the phone when you call (though I image her phone all full of frosting!) She is a delightful person and I highly recommend her services. We will be ordering more cakes from her very soon for sure!!!

We went to Carolyn for our son’s 1^st bday cake. She was absolutely wonderful to work with. Her responses to my queries were prompt and she was so accommodating to our requests. I had asked for a blue ombré buttercream frosted cake during our tasting session. She told me upfront that she had never managed to get the buttercream frosting in a smooth manner with even lines. We then decided on a different finish to the cake. However, she went out of her way to perfect the finish that I had originally requested and lo and behold, on the day of our party, I got the cake that I had dreamt of, for my baby.
Carolyn, thank you so much for your efforts to ensure we got what we wanted. Not only is your work a feast to the eyes, the cakes tasted so delish!
I can’t wait for another occasion to work with you again! :)

Just got married sunday, my hubby and I loved the great compliments of our guests on our cake from Carloyn!
From the tasting up to our wedding day, she exceeds all our expectations. She even managed to get our invitation design on our cake!
Nice flavor, Great craftmanship and excellent service!

We couldn’t have been more pleased with the Bay Area sports theme cake that Carolyn made for my son’s rehearsal dinner. Passion fruit-​it was as delicious as it was fun to look at. We didn’t want to cut it, but quickly devoured it!
Carolyn is a true professional and a delight to work with. I can’t wait for the next occasion to order the next cake!

Carolyn made my wedding cake, which was a 2-​tiered confection of salted caramel mousse/devil’s food, marjolaine (layers of almond and hazelnut meringue and buttercream), and pave-​chocolate/​vanilla. I got married in November and people are still telling me how awesome my cake was.
What I liked most about Carolyn and her business was that she suggested a sheet cake in order to help us cut costs. I’d gone to several bakeries and not one of them made this suggestion to us, and the cakes in question were well over $ 600 and not half as good as hers. I never saw the sheet cake but our cake was beyond gorgeous, and to this day my friends AND my picky ass 6-​year-​old still continue to rave about the salted caramel mousse — it is to die for and I’m glad we overestimated so we had quite an abundance of cake in our honeymoon suite.
Carolyn’s tastings run $ 10 each and you get a piece of every single cake she makes. I would highly recommend her to anyone, not just for wedding cakes but it’s so good it warrants other special occasions!

My husband and I are so happy to have found Carolyn. Neil wanted to have pistachio butter cake for our wedding and it was love at first bite with the cake that Carolyn made. Our tasting was amazing and her hospitality sealed the deal. We weren’t sure which cake we liked better so Carolyn made some sample cakes for us to taste test with our friends. She was even willing to meet me at 7:00 am on a Saturday morning so I could pick the cake before work. Carolyn is such a pleasure to work with and I hope to be eating many more of her creations in the future!

I called Carolyn back to do a baby shower cake. Let me rephrase — a Doctor Who themed baby shower cake. Did she know what a Dalek is? Nope. Did she make the most amazing 3D, 2 foot tall little pink on the outside, Red Velvet on the inside Dalek you’d ever seen? Yep. (of course!)
To be honest, I was disappointed that the parents to be chose Red Velvet as the flavor for their cake. In my opinion, possibly the most overrated cake flavor ever to have insulted my expectations. After Carolyn’s Red Velvet, I apologize to Red Velvet cake lovers everywhere — I see what you mean, now! — and shame you for offering me inferior Red Velvet cake in the past.
Have you seen people fight over leftover cake at a party? No? Then you haven’t had Carolyn’s cake at a party. Darn it. Now I’m hungry.

Carolyn baked a lovely 3-​tiered cake for my SF wedding in August. While the design I asked for was relatively simple compared to what her talent can come up with (see her impressive photo gallery on her website), the cake turned out visually just as I had asked and tasted just as delicious as I remembered at the tasting. She delivered a beautiful buttercream frosting that had just the softness and slight «rustic» look I asked for. The passion fruit cake layers were a huge hit with the guests, and the chocolate raspberry layer was perfection.
I really appreciated that Carolyn was quick to respond to several emails where I was toying with changing ideas for the look of the frosting. I also had a very specific idea in mind for cake pedestals that I had seen in a Martha Stewart magazine, and she helped me find someone who rented me the exact, very hard-​to-​find pedestals I was looking for. Carolyn is reliable, talented, and pleasant to work with. I’m very happy that I chose her to create our wedding cake.
