Eccentric International Chefs

I ordered a cake for my son here and it was perfection! The staff was friendly and knowledgable and happy to design my cake according to my request. The cake was delicious! I will be back! THANK YOU FOR NOT GOUGING YOUR CUSTOMERS!

We ordered a cake for our mothers 80^th birthday and brought in a beautiful picture of her when she was 15 years old to be scanned on the cake. They not only did a beautiful job creating the perfect cake for her with attention to every detail but is was the best tasting cake we have had! DELICIOUS! When she saw the cake for the first time she could not stop starring at it, and tears weld up! Eccentric International Chefs will be my go to bakery! Thank you Chefs!!!

Ordered an «adult» cake here for my sisters Bachelorette party. Not only was the cake delicious and perfectly made and decorated, they were incredibly accommodating. I left my order somewhat last minute and they were so nice and got the cake to me sooner than I could have hoped for! I will definitely be ordering more customs cakes from here!

Absolutely love Eccentric International Chefs! Their cakes are amazing and I LOVE their macarroons.
They even have an awesome video about them at

Today I went into this bakery after calling around several bakeries. The person who was supposed to make a cake for me changed the price on me last minute and I was looking for alternatives. I first called Hans and Harry who I was familiar with and they said that they were too busy on a Saturday to do a consultation so during the week would be better. I visited the New York bakery in El Cajon who had a good price but had nothing that I could look at not even pictures to see what work they have done. I happened to stumble across this bakery while searching online. I have lived in east county all my life and don’t know how I have never seen this place. I called to see if they could make a graduation cake and the woman who answered the phone was great and told me to come right down. As soon as I walked in I was greeted by the owner and she recognized me from the phone. I showered her a couple pictures of what I was thinking and she told me which one would fit most into my budget. She drew out a picture of what it would look like and we decided on colors. The price I was given was 50−75% cheaper than what I was quoted elsewhere. In the shop they have several sample wedding cakes and regular cakes that you can look at and a large picture book of previous cakes they have made. When I told her I needed to pick it up in the morning I asked what time they opened and she said she’s up at 3 everyday so anytime I need will work. While I was there I noticed another customer there picking up a birthday cake. The young girl who worked in the back brought it up to see if it was to her satisfaction before she boxed it up. The cake was a beach theme and she asked if she could have more blue color on the waves and the girl said no problem and used some kind of airbrush machine to add more color and the cake looked great! Most other places would have just boxed up your cake and sent you home. The owner doing the consultation told me that the decorations were included in the price and instead of making a frosted on name tag on the cake she was going to make an actual tag. I can’t wait to see it! So far the customer service has been great and after seeing what they can do I have faith that they will make a great cake!

Melina is wonderful! She is so friendly and takes her time with you! I stopped in randomly and she took her time since I wasn’t even quite sure what I really wanted for my daughter’s 4^th birthday party. I had a bunch of ideas in my head and on Pinterest and she was able to put it all together and in my budget! She even added a few! I honestly left feeling so good I still smile thinking about it writing this. I have to go back and add another order to it for party favors bc they are that good! Beautiful cakes and cupcakes, cookies are cupcakes are so cute and amazing! I would honestly recommend them to anyone and drive far to them!

I ordered macaroons and truffles for a bridal shower and they were very delicious and everyone at the party loved them. In fact a couple asked for your business card for future parties! Thank you so much for the great and easy ordering process! I fully recommend going here!

What an amazing find! Stopped in after seeing them on Facebook and I am glad we did!
They went above and beyond my expectations of customer service.
We got macaroons, cupcake and chocolate covered strawberries. YUMMY! The kids already picked out their birthdays cakes which their birthday is months away but the cakes on display are beautiful. We can’t wait to try them!
A must stop!

Soft delish moist cupcakes. I love this place. They even help me carry my stuff to my car. I definitely will be back.

Such delicious bakery items here!
The mini crème puffs, fantastically light and Devine, chocolate chip cookies are so dreamy, while the sugar cookies were so
soft. Soooo good!
The prices are very reasonable and the staff very accommodating and friendly.
There aren’t many bakeries in San Diego, so I am so happy to have found this one.
The fact that everything is delicious makes it even better! Go see them, and buy some pastries!!!

Great service
Adored the passion in the chef but for 300 $ for my daughter’s cake that was unedible because the fondant was overwhelming… sucked. I got a cake that no one ate because it was to sugary and literally no cake underneath. 5 stars regardless because I was going for beauty over taste and of course my daughter loved it.

Wow… what a great bakery, so much to choose from I wanted to try it all! The owner was engaging and informative in helping to make the perfect selection! I Highly recommend them!

I love their service and their cakes!!! Four years ago we had our wedding cake done here. We didn’t really have anything in mind as far as decoration, but Carl came up with some great ideas!
Since then we have been going back for every birthday occasion. Melina is there most times we’ve gone in and we are always greeted with a smile. It’s a bit of a drive for us, but definitely worth it!

I had the most wonderful experience here. I needed a wedding cake/​cupcakes last minute. They we so accommodating. I was surprised to see how inexpensive it was going to be. Not to mention they were so flexible with the designs. My order was ready on time and it tasted delicious. everyone at our wedding loved it and asked where we got it from. I will come back here every time.

After searching for the perfect cake for my Husband’s 40^th birthday, and then searching all over the county to find someone to make it for under $ 1,000 I was recommended by a friend to call Carl at Eccentric International Chefs. I read all the Unilocal reviews and was a little nervous, but after talking with Carl, I was put at ease. He made the cake, at a very reasonable price, and it was FABULOUS! My husband was very surprised and everyone absolutely RAVED about the cake! Even before they tasted it! We got the Marble cake with Bavarian Cream, Raspberry and Ganache filling. IT WAS DEVINE!!! Thank you Carl for making such a wonderful confection!!! We will definitely be back!

I give a 5 star review to Eccentric International Chefs. because of their professionalism, kindness, flexibly to give me the time to get my father day cake even after they had closed. I had ordered the cake earlier in the day & didn’t hear my cell phone ring the many times they had called me.
I’m so thankful & always will be a life long customer. Not only are there cakes and pastries are the bomb. but so is the staff & owners.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Carl designed our wedding cake and we were so impressed with the final result.
When we first met with Carl, I did not come with pictures and only had a mental picture of what I wanted. Carl designed our cake based on my description. He also helped us decide on flavors because we loved everything we tasted!
On the wedding day the cake was delivered on time and looked beautiful. So many of our guests asked us where we got our cake because they loved it!
We found a baker for life!

Came in to grab a couple cupcakes for my kids. First off I was never greeted or even acknowledge that I was there. Stood around for a couple minutes still nothing. So I walked around looking at their display and still not one of the two ladies behind the counter said a word to me.
This place for certain lack customer service.
Plus when I was looking at their pastries I noticed a couple small flies flying around in it.
So if you want flies on your cake this place is for you.
I would give it zero if I can.

Super easy working with Carl and Melina! They were great and made planning our wedding from out of state painless! Cakes ordered just as designed and how we wanted! Our guests raved at the taste!

If you want a delicious and inexpensive cake, come here! I had tasted their cakes before from others that have ordered from Eccentric but have not ordered a cake from them personally.
My friend wanted a «baby lunch» not shower with NO pink or pastels! So the only colors that would do, were red, black and white. I walked in 3 weeks before the event and ordered a chevron print cake serving 10 people. I told her that I didn’t want to spend more than $ 50 and the price was so affordable I was shocked!
A week before the shower, more people had RSVP’d. So I called Eccentric and asked if they can add more to the cake since more people will be attending. She said, «sure, no problem. So for an additional $ 20 she added a lady bug to the top of the cake and another layer, feeding 30 people!
When I arrived to pick up the cake, I was nervous to see it. But when she showed me the cake looked great! It was huge! She was kind enough to ask me if I needed help to my car, but I managed. :-)
I ordered a white cake with fresh strawberry filling with butter cream frosting. It was Delicious! There was so much extra cake to give away!
