El Wanda Braynen Cakes and Pastries

I don't even bake cakes any more since I start purchasing El Wanda's cakes. Her GermanChocolate is my favorite - it is moist not toosweet - just perfect! Another favorite ofmine is her 7-up cake always great with coffee.

I have worked with El Wanda on several occasions and have been nothing short of impressed. Not only are her services from the heart, she always delivers on time. She never takes short cuts and everything she produces is quality. So if you are in the need of Home Baked GoodsNotary ServicesBeauty ConsultationShe's absolutely the one.

I've known El Wanda for plenty of years now. She is a wonderful person. To me this is a one stop shop. I am able to try a variety of cakes, pies, cookies, and brownies. I am also able to pick up some of my favorite makeup and have my documents notorized. She is very professional, humble, and one of my favorite people. She has and will always have my business.

I knew El Wanda first as a Mary Kay consultant; I was purchasing lipglosses and lipsticks from her 3 days before Christmas, when she casually replied that she was busy baking for clients for the upcoming holiday. I asked to see her menu, and she pointed out a freshly-baked German Chocolate Cake that she had on table, and that was enough for me to place an order for that same cake. I picked up my German Chocolate Cake on Christmas Eve, and we just had it for Christmas dinner. We all (my family and my sister and her family) agreed that it was the best German Chocolate Cake that we have ever put in our mouths. It was OUTSTANDING! Sooo moist, with great coconut and pecan flavor, but not the overwhelming sweetness that can often be the downfall of other German chocolate cakes. It was a big 10-inch, 4-layer cake, frosted between the layers, top, and sides for a "whopping" $25 -- it was a steal -- and could easily go for $10 more in a bakery. Besides the German Sweet Chocolate Cake, El Wanda also makes a wide variety of other cakes, mostly in what I would call the comfort category: 7-Up Cake, Red Velvet Cake, Rum Cake, Banana Layer Cake, and more! And it's all baked fresh, right from her home!I live in San Francisco, and El Wanda is in Richmond, but I would gladly make the drive over again for any of El Wanda's cakes (and her Mary Kay stuff). In addition to baking and selling Mary Kay, El Wanda is also a traveling public notary -- she's unstoppable -- and, not to mention, one of the nicest and most genuine people you will ever meet. If you leave her presence without a smile on your face, then there is something wrong with you.

El Wanda is a wonderful person who very professional and trustworthy. If I ask her to make a cake or brownies or whatever, I don't have to worry because she takes care of business. I've known her all of my life and she has always been a very professional and loving person. El Wanda is also my Mary Kay consultant and my husband have used her occasionally as a notary public. She's the best! You have got to try her 7-up cake, pound and German Chocolate cakes. Oh yeah, her yellow cake with chocolate icing is excellent too. Every time she makes a dessert for me, people always ask for her number. She's the best.

The best German Sweet Chocolate cake I've ever had! Never will I go and purchase it at a bakery. Wonderful 7-up pound cake you must try.
