Elsie Bakes

Elsie Bakes makes truly delicious cupcakes. I have been lucky enough to have them on two occasions and both times they were equally as good. Elsie Bakes catered the cupcakes at a wedding in San Francisco that I went to last weekend. People were loving the cupcakes. They were all gone by the end of the wedding. Most people took a couple flavors to share. My personal favorite was the Peanut Butter and Chocolate because the frosting on top tastes like real peanut butter. We also loved the Mexican Chocolate which was a more exotic flavor.I highly recommend these cupcakes!!

Elsie makes the most amazing cupcakes!! We had them for my friend's birthday and they were to die for! I had the chocolate peanut butter- the cake itself was moist and chocolatey and the peanut butter frosting was just the right consistency and sweetness. The finishing touch of the peanut butter cup on top was perfect and brought the whole thing together. I highly recommend Elsie bakes for your cupcakes or other baked goods!

Elspeth made a variety of delicious cup cakes and cakes for my wedding and everything came out beautifully! She was so nice to work with and all of our guests loved the dessert!

Elsie's cupcakes are the most delicious cupcakes I have ever had- EVER. She made cupcakes for my wedding on 10/6/12. Meeting with Elsie and doing a cupcake tasting was probably my favorite part of the wedding planning process. Elsie prepared all the flavors we had talked about but also made a bunch of other variations for us to try. In the end, we chose Mexican Chocolate, Chocolate with Peanut Butter Frosting, Vanilla with Carmel Frosting, and Roasted Peach with Strawberry and Mint. Our wedding guests were raving about the cupcakes all night long. At one point in the night I noticed that one of our guests had 6 cupcake wrappers on his plate! They were that good! Thanks Elsie for being super professional and an amazingly talented baker.

Elsie not only bakes - she rocks!Elsie brought a creative - and scrumptious - vision to our wedding of 120. We had a very Cali-style, casual wedding, one without any particular structure or tradition, but rather, with our friends and families' fun and comfort as our first concern. Thus, we didn't want a stodgy, formal cake, but rather, a desert with fresh and vibrant flavors and colors that reflected our beautiful, sunny wedding day by the bay. Elsie made two unforgettable cupcakes - strawberry and chocolate, which guests raved about not only for their fresh flavor, but fresh, crisp, colorful presentation. Most impressive was Elsie's attention to detail, as the cupcakes were not only immaculately baked and frosted, but decorated with lovely flowers.Her cupcakes got more photos at the wedding than did the beautiful bay view!Elsie, indeed, was able to express our vision, and to do so better than we had imagined it. Beyond this, she was exceptionally professional, communicating with us clearly and in a timely manner, and delivering the final cupcakes on time, with no stress.Highly recommended.

Elsie made a cake for my mom's 60th birthday bash. I didn't really have anything specific in mind, so I told her to be creative. She made the most delicious honey cake with almond cream cheese frosting. It was dense and absolutely luscious! It was decorated with bumblebees made out of marzipan and almond slivers for wings. Adorable!Elsie is delightful to work with: professional, punctual, talented. Oh, and quite witty! I've recommended her to many friends for their weddings, they've all been pleased with the results. Hooray for Elsie!

Cupcakes have become quite the trend lately, which means that everyone and their mother thinks they can make a good cupcake. Well, it's just not true. Some people make excellent cupcakes and some don't. Elsie is one of those that truly makes excellent cupcakes that are also original and beautiful. Her flavors are not your ordinary flavors, and they never fail to appeal to the eye. She can make your cupcakes for any occasion, and she makes sure to meet whatever your personal needs (tastes!) are.So, ditch the trendy crapcakes and go for Elsie's truly gourmet ones!

When Elsie says she bakes, she means it! The girl is TALENTED and passionate about her product. That shows in her work. Elsie baked cupcakes and two cakes for our wedding, and we could not have had a better experience. First, she held a tasting with some preliminary flavors of cupcakes - we chose vanilla and chocolate cakes, with salted caramel, vanilla, and chocolate buttercream frostings. It was like a wine tasting but MUCH more fun. She was flexible with our choices and also offered great suggestions when my fiance and I were stumped about a decision. She also crafted an unbelievable Boston Cream Pie style cake, which we are hoarding in the freezer. The multi-layer cake was light and delicious; the pastry cream in between the layers beautifully flavored with vanilla; and the ganache...don't start me on the ganache! The presentation of cupcakes and cakes at our wedding was beautiful, and our guests commented not only on the flavor (delish, of course), but also the styling and set up. Thanks, Elsie, for making our wedding treats one of the most talked-about features of our wedding!

The best cupcakes in the bay area, by far. Everything is scratch made, with love, by Elsie and her team. Some of the nicest people to work with. Highly recommend.

The BEST cupcakes ever. They were so pretty and perfect at my wedding, they were exactly what I wanted. The flavors were awesome and everyone loved them, the only reason I had a few left is because I made my mother hide some so that I could take them home with me to eat myself! Elsie is great and very wonderful to work with.
