A Girl Named Pinky Cake Boutique

Couldn't be more happier! Thank you so much for making this cake for my mom . She absolutely loved it and it was the cherry on top after taking her to the Snoopy Museum. It brought her a smile and a nice early birthday surprise . Cake was colorful, tasteful and the buttercream was lovely 10/10 . Will be ordering again .

Pinky is THE woman!! I was blown away with her perfect homemade lemon bar. It wasn't too sweet, you can taste the fresh Meyer lemon in the custard, and that thick buttery crust did me in. I was close to ordering a few more to-go.A treat that everyone initially refused because they were "too full" was instantly devoured by said persons because I couldn't stop raving about it. Pinky was the sweetest and offered to cut my lemon bar to share with fam and she gave a pink napkin to go with her name/shop theme. Adorable.Pinky's dessert shop is located in Emeryville's public market and the display showcases cupcakes, cookies, brownies, macarons, lemon bars, and the cutest cake pops you've ever seen. I was too late but you get a free macaron upon check-in so don't sleep on it!Next time, I need to make sure I leave more tummy room to try the rest of Pinky's offerings!Also, she makes custom cakes and does catering!

Love all these home cooking kind of sweets. Sometimes you just crave simple comfort ingredients instead of pastry ingredients like cardamom and beet juice! Brownies are a definite must here.Brownies: These are exactly how brownies should be. Rich and gooey on the bottom with a light crust on top. Came in a package of four, but I could only eat one in a given sitting since they're so filling. Not fancy schmancy or anything, just a classic done very well.Oreo Mini Cake: A long oval of cake that feels like more cake than a cupcake and you can eat it with a fork. The Oreo taste was rather subtle with a few bits mixed into the yellow cake, so it was hard to notice. The frosting had more bits and kinda reminded me of cookies & cream ice cream. A fun way to say you ate a whole cake by yourself!Cake Pop: Looked like a mini ice cream cone. Tasted just ok though, with cake underneath the chocolate shell tasting more pasty than cakey. I'd recommend the mini cake instead.Red Velvet Mini Cake: Seeing how Red Velvet is one of my favorite cakes, it was hard to pass on this on. Definitely did not disappoint with the rich red cake base and the creamy thick frosting. I like the mini cake design since it's a lot more portable than a cake slice.Carrot Cake Jar: Ok, if you like frosting then this is for you! It looks like one of those healthy jar salads, until you get a closer look to see that the layers are just cake chunks of frosting. Much better in my opinion. And the frosting layers seem a lot more generous than on a normal cake, so get ready for that.Lemon Bars: Huge curd-to-crust ratio, just the way I like it. So much so that it might fall apart in your hands, so better to eat with a fork. Strong lemony taste without getting that curd funk aroma that sometimes happens, so really well executed.

My apologies to Tina for not giving her the 5-star review that's due! I discovered A Girl Named Pinky (now Cake Boutique) about 4 years ago when she had a pop-up in Old Oakland...eye-catching desserts with a very welcoming and friendly customer service. She is so personable that we chatted about her starting out...not sure if she remembers me! ;)I've had the COOKIES - amazing! :: Chocolate chip with sea salt - not overly sweet, nice crispness yet chewy! :: Ginger - nice flavor and chewiness and topped with a coarse sugar for texture...yummersCUPCAKES - yes! :: Delicious cookie and cream and a wonderful vanilla cupcake with lemon curd. I'm not big on overly sweet desserts or globs of frosting and A Girl Named Pinky Cake Boutique does it right with the right ratio of sweetness! I'm all about supporting small business but if you don't have the right combo of a good product as well as a welcoming atmosphere... then it's a hard pass! Tina is talented and her personality shows thru in her delicious and pretty desserts that I'm definitely a fan. Congrats to Tina on the new location at the Public Market in Emeryville ! Stop....by...A Girl Named Pinky Cake Boutique as it will satisfy your sweet tooth!

I recently ordered a quarter sheet cake from A Girl Named Pinky Cake Boutique for my birthday party. Tina made me a delicious chocolate cake with raspberry buttercream filling, decorated to fit my party theme. The cake was tasty, my party guests gave it rave reviews, and I'm continuing to enjoy the leftovers. It's hard to beat A Girl Named Pinky for a yummy cake delivered to your door at a competitive price.I am docking a star for a couple reasons. I was hoping to get on a call with Tina to discuss the cake I wanted to order, but found that difficult to do. She was responsive to my emails and got back to me within a day, and I was eventually able to get on a call with her to discuss my cake design and various questions. When I received the cake, I saw that a key part of my requested icing was omitted. I emailed Tina to let her know that I was disappointed about this, and she promptly responded and offered to come back to my place before my party started to add the missing icing decoration. I took her up on this offer, and she came back at our agreed upon time, and made sure my cake decoration was fixed in time for my party. I really appreciate that Tina came back to address the icing issue.

We just had this cake today for my daughters 10yr birthday. OH my goodness the cake was perfect not only on the outside but the inside was just BEAUTIFUL!!!!!AND it tasted amazing!!!! The girls just loved the cake and it was exactly what we were looking for! The design was perfect!! The taste was so good and sweet but not overpowering. The texture of the cake was light and moist not heavy or too thick. I don't think we have ever had a cake this perfect all the way around. Many places use fondant to cover the entire cake a certain color from our experience, so this was just wonderful as it was all done with buttercream. This is from here on out our new go to Cake spot!

Hand's down - the BEST bakery in SF! Tina is lovely and incredible to work with. She delivered delicious customize treats to a dinner party with 3-days notice. From start to finish, an absolute professional who went above and beyond to make my event special. Thank you!

Such an amazing experience! Came out to the Grade Opening! Was able to talk to Tina the owner as well as her daughter cleopatra about the business! They had a line that was moving quickly and everything was delicious! I had the grilled cheese and it was amazing! The brownie was just out the oven and was to die for!

I was gifted a moist, delicious, and flavorful pure vanilla white birthday cake by Pinky. This beautiful cake had THE MOST delectable pure white vanilla buttercream frosting I've ever tasted. As an expert eater and white cake purist, I know white cakes are always the most disappointing. White cake is typically dry and/or flavorless, and the (supposedly) buttercream frosting always has some weird under- or aftertaste that leaves a film on one's lips. That's why most bakers will insist on a 'filling' (yech!) to offset the fake cake flavor.Tina---I am a client forever. My cake-loving family and I will include Pinky at every celebration. I cannot wait to try every other creation!I don't post photos of my food and honestly, it could do no justice to this cake. It's good looks were nearly ignored because it was so yummy.

Tina makes the best cakes! I found A Girl Named Pinky through a Google search. My friend and I had a joint 50th birthday party and asked her to make us a festive, yet elegant two-tiered cake. What she provided exceeded our expectations! The chocolate cake was so rich, and the vanilla buttercream was smooth and silky. The icing was a beautiful purple with shiny sprinkles, and a glittery "50" perched on top. Everyone loved it and I am trying to think of when to have another party just so that I can order another cake!
