Sincerely Meraki

We love food and were so happy to be able to work with Liz on our wedding cake. It was easy to order the tasting, easy to order the actual cake, and even easier to show up to our event with the cake already delivered. Every single asian female at my wedding said it was "Not to sweet!" which is THE highest compliment one could give a dessert. So many people came up to us saying "this is the first wedding cake I've ever liked" or "I don't like cake at all but what an interesting flavor combo." I had a crazy idea at one point to bake my own cake, but I am SO GLAD that everyone talked me out of it because I could never bake a cake as delicious as Liz and if I had done it, I would've never gotten to meet this incredible artist.

I am always a sucker for an aesthetically pleasing cake while still delicious! My family and I have had our fair share of yummy cakes in the Bay Area and I'm so glad we came across Sincerely Meraki! I actually found this place from Michelle aka @sfcheatdays, as she posted the cake for her bday!Ordering online was quick and easy and Liz will confirm your order within the next 24 hours. Once my order was confirmed, she included her address and very detailed description of where to stop on her busy street in SF. I actually had to make a change in pickup date and time and Liz was very accommodating! I had requested silver font instead of gold and she was very detail oriented asking if I wanted the topper to be coated in silver as well, since it was usually coated in gold. I appreciate she took the time to ask vs. just doing silver font and gold coating. Pickup was so easy, even though it was a busy day. She dropped off the cake on the floor of my front seat to make sure it was stable as well. Onto the taste of the cake! I ordered the Earl grey with brown sugar icing and it was soooo good! Tasted like a boba milk tea hehe! You need to take the cake out of the fridge at least 2 hours in advance of serving and we did just that. The cake was still a little chilled but so moist and fresh! We were so full after our dinner so we had so much cake left. We followed the instructions to wrap in Saran Wrap and we had delicious cake the next couple days! Also I'm so happy to be supporting an Asian AND woman-owned business in the Bay Area! I highly recommend Liz and her cakes and her customer service is on point! So glad I stumbled across her and can't wait to order more cakes from her in the future!!

I was looking for a high-end, artistic yet simple cake for my elopement at SF City Hall this past October. I stumbled upon Liz's shop and cake portfolio after almost giving up and had resigned to having a "traditional" cake. I am so happy I found Liz and Sincerely Meraki! Here are the few things that stood out to me:1) flavors -- I knew I wanted something "not too sweet" but still satisfied my sweet tooth (I LOVE CAKES!) the cake was wonderfully balanced and light. 2) design - I had a very specific vision for my cake and truly wanted something modern, yet reflected a creative spirit. The cake Liz made wow'd everyone in my family; even my photographer said she's never seen anything like it! 3) reliability and clear communication - amidst all the other elopement things I had to do; I wanted to make sure the person making my cake was reliable. Liz's was extremely responsive and answered my questions. I also liked her website was very clear when I had to order to get my cake; and how to pick up. All in all, I am so pleased with my cake. And I am so glad I could support a budding small business in SF. I would happily recommend and refer Sincerely Meraki to anyone! Thank you Liz for making my dream cake! And for providing such beauty on my big day.

My husband and I were finally able to have our larger wedding celebration last month and the week before the wedding, our wedding cake order fell through (it was covid related; no hate to the original bakery). I was of course bummed but figured oh well, I guess we'll just get some cakes from Costco (also no hate - I love Costco cakes lol). I then remembered my friend had just started her own cake business a few months prior, so I reached out to her thinking it was a long shot that she'd be able to squeeze me in so last minute. Within the same day that I reached out, she not only was able to squeeze my order in, but also did a full consultation with me to make sure it would be a cake that I would love!! We went with earl grey brown sugar and it turned out AMAZING!!! I was incredibly happy with the quality of the cake and of course her amazing customer service. Even if I weren't her friend, I'd still be posting this because she blew me away!

Stunning cakes! A family member bought a new house in the area and I was searching for a housewarming gift. What better gift to give--a yummy cake that looks like a piece of art. The ordering process was easy and hassle free. It is all done on the website and if you have questions they are prompt to respond. I ordered a the Ikebana cake. It had a clean background with an arrangement of beautiful flowers. It was the perfect centerpiece for the new house. I ordered Oreo frosting and white cake. It was a crowd pleaser. The cake was moist and had the perfect amount of flavor. It was topped off with yummy the Oreo frosting! So good!! Can't wait to order again!

I ordered a classic cake less than 2 days before I needed it and Liz was able to accept the order. Since the star of the show is 3, we chose the strawberry shortcake even though I would have picked the one with salted caramel and coffee buttercream myself! The cake was beautiful, and as pictured. I appreciated the tips for caring for the cake (how to hold the box and what steep streets to avoid)! As advertised the whipped mascarpone was super light and the vanilla genoise was airy like a sponge. It was delicious and being lighter and less sweet it definitely reminded me of Asian cakes, but presented as a western cake. The whole family is a fan!

I tried Sincerely Meraki for the first time for my roommates birthday! We had the classic cake in strawberry shortcake flavor. It was so beautiful and perfect for the occasion and since then this spot has become my go-to for cakes for friends bdays - it's a crowd pleaser! I've also tried mango coconut and just placed an order for the earl grey brown sugar version. Flavors are not too sweet and feels fresher and healthier than a lot of heavier cake options in the city!
