Sylvia’s Cakes

i ordered my daughter birthday cake for her second birthday from sylvia and we were so happy with the look and taste. i will be ordering a cake for my son’s 1^st birthday from her and my daughter’s 3^rd birthday!!!

I recommended Sylvia’s Cakes for a client of mine as I was helping with décor for her daughter’s Tiffany &
themed Sweet 16. Sylvia made a beautiful and personalized caked with my client’s daughter’s name and all the guests, especially the daughter, thought it was absolutely beautiful. Sylvia’s detail is on point. I plan to keep on reffering my clients to her for all their baking needs!

Sylvia did an amazing job creating a 2-​tier cake for my friend’s baby shower. We are talking a last minute, day-​before the baby shower cake. I didn’t think it was possible but she pulled through and got her the cake that she wanted. Not only was the cake beautiful but it was delicious. The red velvet is to die for. To my surprise, the cake was very reasonably priced for such a last minute order. I think I paid $ 175 for the 10 inch bottom layer and 8 inch top layer.
I would definitely use Sylvia’s Cakes again.

Sylvia did my cupcakes for my 18^th bday. I just emailed her and she agreed to do 150 cupcakes for just $ 1 each and deliver for only $ 10. Her cupcakes are not that pretty and taste like box mix but can’t beat the price

Silvia made the most beautiful cake for my little 6 year old birthday party. No only was beautiful but it was very delicious… If you want a unique beautiful tasty cake Silvia is the perfect one.

Just had my baby shower and I just loved the red velvet cake flavor that I ordered from Mis Sylvia. I told her specifically what and how I wanted my cake and she nailed it! Not a cake person but ate a lot of it because of its perfect balance of sweetness, my guests loved it too. There are two things why I love ordering cakes from her: First, she knows how to read her customers and speaks her mind. Second, I love the fact that my cakes are freshly baked! Would recommend it!

I had no choice but to give a ONE STAR. Long story short she was quite rude when advising me she wouldn’t be ABLE TO MAKE A SIMPLE SHOE BOX CAKE. She told me to look on Unilocal, what business does that? I thought because she had done PLENTY OF AMAZING CAKES she could fulfill my request, well I was WRONG. I wouldn’t do business with her, yes I will Unilocal A BETTER PLACE with better customer service.

September 2015– I placed an order via email after I spoke with Sliva. I ordered a 10″ cake for $ 90.0 dollars. The cake was chocolate with chocolate filling with the theme being Harry Potter. I was skeptical about putting trust in someone whom you have never met, or purchased a product from. I told her what I wanted, and sent a picture of what I wanted on the cake itself. Silva said oh I got this, let me do my creative thing; I must admit I was nervous when I picked up the cake thinking did I just waste my time & money on a cake that will be plain and dull. However, to my surprise I was truly pleased she came through with a great cake, better than I thought. The cake itself was moist and the filling not overpowering with surgar. I would recommend her to my family and friends.

I am from out of town, planning a park party for my son’s 1^st birthday in San Diego. I sent Silvia info on the theme and some example pictures of cakes I liked. She asked me to let her design it and I’m glad I did. It was an incredibly cute cake and we received lots of compliments on it!
The overall experience was great and really simplified the party organization.
We are planning to order another cake from her soon.

A hidden bakery that is awesome in taste and looks. Sylvia is very creative and very nice. Everybody loves my daughter’s cake. Great combinations of the ingredients. Will definitely come back for more!:) Thanks Sylvia!

I met Sylvia in August, 2014 for my granddaughter’s 1^st birthday. We went to her place for a taste test. She was very accomodating and friendly. Her place is very clean, one key that we look up to. I love her red velvet cake and chocolate with caramel. So good!
Last week I sent her a message because I needed a cake for my retirement party. It was a short notice (48hrs) I told her I work at the Post Office and she asked me if I will let her do her creativity and I said yes because I trust her and OMG the cake came out to be the main attraction of my party. You wouldn’t want to cut the cake because it’s far too beautiful! My friends all said WOW and asked me who made the cake. And I said Sylvia. Five stars for you!
I will surely recommend her!

My fiancé and I met with Sylvia to discuss what we wanted for our wedding cake. She was professional, thorough and extremely helpful. The day of the wedding Sylvia delivered what could only be considered a piece of art. It was perfect! Our beach-​themed cakes, yes… two cakes, were just as we wanted: Plain white fondant background with powder blue and lavender colored sea life around the sides; waves around the base; a cute 1954 Chevy truck with a surfboard in the bed sat on the top of one of the cakes. Our guests loved the decorations and the taste. If we need a special cake in the future we will definitely be ordered from Sylvia again!

By far the worst order I have ever had and worst service. I ordered my cake 2 weeks in advance so that there would be plenty of time just in case something happened. The day of that I needed my cake first email was that it would not be ready for pick up. Second email was that it would be ready and she would deliver for free. Third email was that the cake would be ready but with no time. Final email was sent to me at 4:05 that the cake would be ready at 4. I asked her to deliver the cake which she first agreed to then backed out. What a mess for something that was to be a surprise for my wife. I will never again go to this person and I will recommend to everyone that they find another cake business. First rule of business Sylvia cakes, the customer is always right and they should always come first.

Sylvia’s was very friendly and flexible with what I was looking for. I gave her full control of the design and only told her how many people to feed and what kind of cake. The result was amazing! She created a cake I have never seen and wowed my fellow graduates at the party. Everyone wanted a picture with it. It also tasted amazing and many got a second serving. I will definitely be using Sylvia’s Cakes again and recommend her to anyone for any occasion.

Sylvia’s Cakes was amazing… she is so nice and very flexible to work with. her cakes are amazing and taste great. She made my cake look exactly like the picture I gave her… she did it exactly like I wanted it. Plus the cake tasted great. everyone loved it. The price was good too. :) Loved it! I am totally recommending her and using her for other events. :)

I’m so glad Sylvia shares her gift of baking! I’m not usually a fan of fondant but I couldn’t get enough of the cake! The caramel filling inside was an added bonus! I will definitely be calling her for future celebrations!

Sylvia is the nicest lady and she DID NOT disappoint when we asked her to make not only cupcakes but a birthday cake for «our little worm» for her 1^st birthday. It was the perfect balance of moist, sweet, and flavorful (strawberry and vanilla) and the design was super, super cute! Everyone was really impressed with the appearance and taste (especially the kiddies who were entranced by it) but most importantly– our little Lola loved it. :)) We will definitely hire Sylvia again for our next special occasion. So happy to have found her!

Sylvia is by far one of the most talented people I’ve ever met. I wouldn’t waste my time with anyone else in San Diego, because it trully doesn’t get any better than her!

I have nothing bad to say about Sylvias cakes. I put in my babyshower order last minute with her and she managed to make everything work out. The cake and cupcakes i ordered were exactly like the picture i sent her, and my guests loved them! She has reasonable prices and shes really nice and helpful letting me know how my order was coming along. Thank you so much i will definitely recommend anyone to her.

I’m not originally from SD, I live in San Francisco and I’m only visiting SD for my boyfriend’s graduation. So, I did my research on «best cupcakes in SD» which also delivers for a reasonable price. Sylvia delivers for $ 1 per mile and it was really nice of her to be considerate with my time schedule since I want it to be delivered after the graduation party at night. I almost feel bad because I had to change the delivery time last minute. Thanks for a very nice customer service, Sylvia!
I ordered 2 dozens of the cupcakes and I told her I want it to be graduation theme but I’m not as creative thinker as her so I told her to think of the designs. She did surprised me with her work! The cupcakes turn out yummy and everyone loved the designs! She did a SDSU theme and put some graduation caps on top of the cupcakes. However, I wish the cupcakes are more filled though, I feel like it has a few air in it. It’s hard to explain but don’t get me wrong, the cupcakes are still good! You could really taste the flavor in it!
I also love how Sylvia is very nice to talk to, she’s very sweet like her cupcakes! Lol Go order some cupcakes from her! Highly recommend! :)
