Simply Cakes Etc Bakery

Created not only a beautiful but a great tasting wedding cake. From the moment of our appointment we had a pleasurable experience. Great service with Jennifer, she was kind and brought our vision to life. We had a blueberry cake with Blackberry filling due to the fact that i’m allergic to chocolate and it was delicious. They even gave us a separate smaller cake to take home and enjoy later! Everyone talked about how amazing our cake was and couldn’t believe how yummy it was. Thank you Simply Cakes.

If you are placing an order the item will be fresh, if you just go in and purchase cupcakes or cookies they will be dry, stale, flavorless.

Very satisfied with my cake! My first time ordering a cake from this place that I randomly found on-​line and I will definitely order from them again. I ordered a marble cake with strawberry filling and it was delicious and moist. Richard was super helpful and was able to squeeze my order in within 3 days notice. My daughter was in love with her Sleepover themed cake!!!

Simply Cakes created the perfect wedding cake for us! We made our appointment to taste and select a style and after looking through 3 or 4 books of photos we still couldn’t find what we were looking for. My husband and I love sprinkles and really wanted a cake with layers covered in sprinkles. We found some photos online and Simply Cakes said they would try it… it turned out amazing! We originally didn’t want a cake topper, but at the last minute added a Mickey & Minnie and it was the perfect finishing touch (and Simply Cakes was great about the last minute change!).
We tasted all their flavors and chose a traditional white cake with the vanilla buttercream and it was so yummy. Wedding cake can be sort of dry sometimes, but not this cake! We had multiple compliments from our guests, and I’ve told everyone about Simply Cakes!

Ordered this cake for my 21^st birthday and I was overly satisfied by the look and taste of the cake! It was delicious and super moist! I will definitely be ordering more cakes from here more often. The owners are great and they have very friendly employees!

I came in inquiring about a cake and had a picture and told him the theme I wanted and the man at the counter immediately started throwing numbers at me. He wasn’t very friendly. I asked him for ideas as to how I can make it a little more cost effective (fully realizing I will be forking over some decent cash) He basically told me my cake would be too expensive and gave me a look like I couldn’t afford it. At the end of our encounter he said I should place the order quick because they get really busy. I left feeling really let down because I was so excited to get this cake made. I’ve had cakes made before at mom and pop shops and had such a great collaborative experience so I will take my business to a shop that can provide that and not make me feel as though I’m troubling them and they’re just too busy.

This is post so I can delete an old (and unused) profile. It’s older but I’ve put more time into this one. I recently recovered that e-​mail so I can now access the information. My sentiment for the awful experience I suffered, and the reality that I will never recover the ruined 40^th birthday, has not changed. I cannot recommend against this establishment more strongly.
Original Post:
I sent several pictures and a detailed description to Greg Zimmerman only to get something that had the texture and flavor of something you could get from Von’s. No joke. And for this colossal failure of a cake he wanted 75 dollars.
As an up side, he did refund half of that due to my lack of satisfaction but this was a cake that truly wasn’t fit for human consumption. Everyone who has had any, has thrown it away. It wasn’t even worth the 35 he’s keeping.
I was expecting artistry and this is not the baker to find it through. If you don’t have any standards, don’t know what good baked goods really taste and feel like, or are satisfied with total mediocrity, this is the place to get your cake.

I get WOWed EVERYTIME! I will never get cakes anywhere else! Thanks for making our parties amazing!

Just delicious and beautiful! For my birthday I was surprised with a deliocus raspberry cake! I am still dreaming about this cake. The cake itself was very good, light and fluffy and just the right amount of sweet from the raspberry jam. The frosting was also prefect. This is my offial cake spot from now on.

I’m not sure what’s better– the service or the baked goods! When another cake place cancelled my order for my daughters 6^th birthday the DAY BEFORE, I ran down to Simply Cakes and cried, «Help!» Jennifer and her amazing bakers came to my rescue designing a stunning Mulan cake in a day. I mean, seriously, one day. This cake was so amazing that other people came into my party room that I rented out just to take a picture of the cake and ask where I got it.
This isn’t the first time they have come to my rescue either. I’ve bought an amazing Easter display, alien cake, cupcake display, and tray of cannoli’s– not to mention the times I take my daughter in for cookies! I find their prices to be reasonable, especially since I walk in having no clue what I want and they are unbelievably patient while trying to help me figure it out.
But seriously, they made an astounding cake in a day… and not only did it look good, it tasted fantastic!

Absolute love this place! Their customer service is fantastic, and super friendly and very helpful! I heard they make amazing cakes, and they did my sisters wedding cake, and baby shower cakes this year. Will definitely recommend them to anyone, and will be continue to come back for their beautiful and delicious cakes! :)

Thank you Jennifer for all your help. She help me get the cake that my daughter deserves for her special day. Thanks again.

Simply cakes did a great job bringing my Pink Tiffany inspired Baby shower/​welcome to life! Jennifer was wonderful to work with. I showed her inspiration pictures and she delivered beautiful desserts and a lovely cake! I recommended them to family/​friends and will be using them for future parties.

Okay so where do I start… I live in San Francisco and my best friend’s wedding was in Riverside and so I was looking to place an order for her wedding cake near Riverside. I went online and compiled a list of Orange County and Riverside County bakeries and emailed all of them. A couple days later I received a number of emails and phone calls. After comparing the prices for a wedding cake, and seeing that Simply Cakes had called me right away, I thought this has got to be the place!
When I spoke with Richard he was very warm and nice and provided me with his number and email to send my ideas and see what he could do. I did just that and Richard called me immediately and everything was set up through the phone. I placed my order about two weeks before the wedding. My mind was put at ease since Richard was VERY HELPFUL!
So the day of the wedding I got to the shop, which was nicely set up. I was immediately in love when I saw the cake! It was extremely beautiful and stunning. It had everything I had asked for, I mean EVERYTHING just as I had planned. Richard helped me take the cake to my car, since it was a red velvet cake which by the way is very heavy. He also shared with me everything there was to know about saving the top tier for the newlyweds. The time came to try the cake and it was DELICIOUS! It was perfectly moist and fluffy; the cream cheese was to die for. Honestly, they have amazing flavors! Simply cakes is super friendly and helpful in answering all of your questions. Thank you!

Simply cakes made our beautiful 3 tier wedding cake exactly how we asked.
The cake was not only beautiful it was delicious!!!
We definitely recommend the raspberry swirl.
We have received so many compliments from our guests, with the only complaint being that they wanted more :)

I absolutely love Simply Cakes Etc. Bakery. They create the most beautiful, stunning, & delicious cakes I’ve ever encountered. Every year for my birthday the thing I look forward for most is my cake & that’s because Simply Cakes never disappoints.

Our first interaction with Simply Cakes was while planning our Mission Inn wedding in 2012. They were friendly and answered all of our questions. Our wedding cake was beautiful. Every year since we make sure to order our anniversary cake. We started to explore the various flavors and have not been disappointed, so moist and oh so delicious. We look forward to ordering more cakes in the future!

Simply Cakes is the best vendor on the Mission Inn’s vendor list. They have amazing flavors and are super friendly and helpful in answering all of your questions. We were doing a Halloween themed wedding, and they have great ideas about how to make our cake spooky, but not too over the top. The flavors were great! We got the marble cake with raspberry mousse filling and the cake was moist and delicious. Everybody loved it! There was not a scrap of cake left on anyone’s plates! They were also super affordable! A basic cake was included in our Mission Inn package, but as we were adding in spooky trees, and pumpkins, and asymmetrical tiers, I was certain that we were going to have to pay a ton more for this very customized design. But at the end of the day, it was only $ 30 extra and they even through in an upgraded cake stand rental for us! Amazing!

My husband surprised me with a very beautiful birthday cake. I was completely surprised with the design and he says that they were very helpful in suggesting ideas. I love sugar skulls and being that my name is Daisy he asked for those to be on there as well. As you can see in my picture it’s a very simple design although the skulls were very detailed. The bread was moist but I wasn’t too thrilled about the filling. It was cream filling and I would’ve preferred fresh fruit or gel like filling. I’m not sure if it’s offered or if my husband just asked for it this way.
Regardless I was very satisfied with my birthday cake!

Tonight I was surprised with a Jack Daniels theme birthday cake. I was blown away with a few factors. Getting to the cake GREAT execution of the bottle. Thee best concept of the cake I’ve seen of other images. Fondant was good not gummy or bad tasty. The cake was moist and good strawberry filling it was perfect not too sweet. The frosty was sweet enough but not too sweet. Thank you for working with my boyfriend Hector on a short time frame. Your business and product blew myself and family away. We will do business with you.
*speaking with my boyfriend who lives in Arizona he received great customer service and had a good experience with Simply Cakes Etc staff. They were in communication 3xs to get this cake done in a week notice.
**realizing this now I’ve seen n had their cakes before and they were beauitful then n good tasting n still till this day.
