Franci Cakes

I was able to get my hands on the #HomeSweetHomeBox for Father's Day and it didn't disappoint. I had been eyeing her cupcakes on Instagram for awhile for their unique sounding flavors and adorable decorations.WHAT I ORDERED:My box came with 4 cupcakes and 2 cookies: 2 of the "Churro o O it's Magic" cupcakes -- this cupcake was my favorite and OUT OF THIS WORLD! The cinnamon sugar cupcake was hearty and soft, the frosting was buttery perfection and the freshly fried heart-shaped churro on top brought a nice, crunchy texture to each bite.2 of the "Duvalín" cupcakes -- Goodness gracious. This cupcake was full of fresh, bright flavors perfect for a warm summer day. The strawberry had a refreshing, real fruit flavor and paired perfectly with the hazlenut.2 of the Puerquito Pan Dulces cookies -- the perfect mexican cookie. Admittedly, I didn't grow up on mexican cookies... as a child I never thought they were sweet enough (SUCH A KID), but as an adult... PERFECT! They were soft, had a mild (and scrumptious) flavor of cinnamon and molasses, and had a perfect level of sweetness. Unfortunately I had no coffee prepared and ATE THEM ALL before I had a chance to make any but they would have paired with it PERFECTLY.Can't wait to order another box in the future.

We ordered Mexican chocolate and rosé flavored cupcakes for my sons welcome shower, they were super delicious! We also ordered a cake made of fondant from sj sweet treats and everyone was more impressed with the cupcakes! Big hit! Thank you Franci! Ordering with Franci was super easy as well:)

I discovered Franci Cakes through my Instagram feed one day and was BLOWN away by how awesome and creative her cupcakes were! Never have I ever seen churros or pandan waffles on cupcakes before and the inner sweet tooth within me was squealing with joy! The best part though? Franci Cakes was local and my birthday was coming up - what perfect timing indeed!Franci is very accommodating with whatever order you'd like to make/customize. She has a great amount of suggestions, but would also like to hear your own ideas as well. In the end, we agreed upon creating 24 Vietnamese Coffee flavored Panda cupcakes for my 24th birthday. Doesn't that just sound totally AWESOME for a birthday party?!On a Saturday morning, I dropped by her booth at 11AM at Whole Foods on The Alameda and Franci was waiting at her booth with the cupcakes ready to go. She neatly packaged the 24 cupcakes in two dozen-sized plastic cupcake containers along with a sticker that included her personal "Franci Cakes" logo.Now let's get to my review of the cupcakes - I love how she sprinkled sugar on top of the cupcake's frosting to add texture and a "shine" to the panda's face versus just simply using frosting. Franci also creatively used chocolate chips and sprinkles to create the panda face and ears - so darn cute! After I took one bite into my cupcake at the party, I was sold. This was my first and THE best Vietnamese Coffee flavored cupcake I've ever had in my life! Honestly, I never thought I'd even be able to try this kind of flavored cupcake in my entire lifetime because I didn't know they existed, but Franci Cakes made it happen! Thank you Franci Cakes for whipping up a delicious (and adorable) batch of cupcakes for my 24th birthday party!

While I was grabbing some lunch at Whole Foods, I noticed there were a couple local vendors set up in front of the entrance. One of those vendors was Franci Cakes. I initially wanted to pass up this temptation, but then I saw some of the most unique cupcake flavors that I couldn't pass up. There was a green coconut Vietnamese waffle flavored one with an actual piece of pandan on top. After being captivated by this unique flavor I went for their 4 cupcakes for $10 deal. In addition to the pandan cupcake, I went for their churro, cookie dough and red velvet oreo. Each one of the cupcakes were super moist and delicious. These flavors are so perfectly executed that they can definitely take first place on Cupcake Wars. Hopefully this small vendor can take their cupcake business to the next level and get themselves a retail spot so that I can enjoy these cupcakes all the time!

I love seeing these well-decorated beauties outside Whole Foods on Saturdays! Before recently, I had never had the opportunity to try Franci Cakes for one reason or another, but I'm glad I finally snagged one last Saturday (after a trip to the gym, no less... oh boy). The gal behind the scenes is as sweet as her treats and the transaction was quick and painless; my cupcake was carefully wrapped in a pretty pink box and I was on my way! It looks like flavor selections can change frequently, though I've noticed there are usually 6 different kinds to choose from. I took home a strawberry cupcake that had a cute name which I can't remember at this point, but I'll definitely be looking forward to working my way through Franci Cake's full menu!

Let me clarify first...I am not a huge sweets person. BUT Franci Cakes flipped me inside out and I am hooked. I absolutely love her cookie pie the "samoas." Soo delicious, the texture and taste pairs really well. I have given up my modeling career(jk) just so I can consume Franci's sweets. You can catch her at the Whole Food's Market selling her unique cupcakes and goodies on The Alameda on Saturday mornings or find her new recipes on her instagram page @francicakes. She has such innovative flavors like Horchata, Champagne, etc. I've also had her bake a cake for me for Bridal Shower and it was bomb and beautiful, her prices are really good too.I am a fan!

We tried cupcakes everywhere from Monterey to San Francisco franci cakes is top 2 along with Mrs delish. Moist cakes light frosting we had the churro and the S' mores you can't go wrong with either one very good.

I found Franci Cakes at a local craft fair and the design and decorations on her cupcakes were amazing! I asked for a custom order during the holidays and she was amazing with her response time and ability to meet my requests. Ordering was easy with the communication and having the cupcakes delivered to my home was convenient! The cupcakes tasted amazing and were a hit at the party. The cupcakes were moist and delicious and the decorations were all on point! I would order cupcakes/sweets again from her anytime!

A Franci Cakes order showed up on my doorstep (7/04/2020) without a note. I didn't order it. How do I get a hold of Franci Cakes to find out who sent it? Otherwise, I'll have to throw it out to be safe. There should be a note on every delivery.Update: Mystery solved. Cupcakes and cookies were yummy. I still believe Franci Cakes contact info on website and notes from sender should be included in the order.
