Oh Cake!

Phenomenal baker who bakes very high quality and tasty cakes, cupcakes, and assorted sweets. Laurel runs her small business from her home, and she is still operating in the Tri-City area during COVID. Her chocolate fill cupcakes and her toffees are AMAZING

Did it taste like a $125 cake? Sure. Did it look like a $125 Cake? Not so much. My cousin is expecting a baby! But having a 5 week old newborn made it hard to host a shower. Still, I was determined to contribute. I volunteered to do a game, make the diaper cake, and order one heck of a gourmet cake! Oh Cake was used for my shower previously and while I didn't get to taste a single bite at the time, people raved to me about the unicorn cupcakes they made for me. I recommended Oh Cake to a few people shortly after... and then, got the opportunity use them myself. To be frank, I was a bit embarrassed. It kind of looked more like a supermarket sheet cake. I understand that the photos I sent for inspiration were fondant and Laurel was using buttercream. But still, the colors and plastic figurines missed the mark. I know, #firstworldproblems. Communication was also spotty. Being a new mom, I didn't have time to chase a vendor down. I also didn't have time to research and shop around. The email on their website is a no go. Initially I inquired about cupcakes but the expectant mother decided she wanted a cake instead. Always give the pregnant lady what she wants. It's her party. But after a few emails including the inspiration photos of CAKES, Laurel emails me a while later asking about CUPCAKE toppers from before. Confusing. She also doesn't utilize a single email thread which I think is not the best practice. She also doesn't always email back which I think is another not the best practice. I asked to order a couple of extra cupcakes and she didn't respond whatsoever. On the plus side, she followed up to see if I was satisfied and wanted to rectify the situation. On the not so plus side, she didn't follow through. I would give her 3 stars on my experience alone. I would give her + half a star for my friend's positive experience and am rounding up because this is a small business and she is working out of her home.

Not only did she accept my last minute order, but her cake far exceeded my expectations. Not only was it beautiful, it was delicious.Thank you, Laurel!

My mom ordered a last minute baby shower cake( same week as the shower in May ) via Texas to be delivered as a surprise to my house in Bay Area and Laurel was so sweet enough to accept it. She went above and beyond, even asking my mom if she wanted to have her stop for balloons on the way so sweet !!! the cake itself was amazing, so fresh , and the cream was so light and yummy! Loved how it was not overly sweet , it really was perfect! Thank you Laurel ! Your the best !

This review is long overdue. Laurel is an artist! Not only was she able to replicate the cake designs we wanted, the cakes tasted fresh and delicious too! Our guests still talk about the kids birthday cakes from a decade ago.

I had two cakes made for my sons first birthday. The first cake was for cake smash photos and the second for his first b day party. Both cakes looked and tasted amazing. The cake that was made for my sons first birthday party was above what I expected. I asked them to make a cake of Chica, the character from Sprout channel,And I was so amazed by the outcome!!! The cake was super detailed and looked identical to the character in the show. I would definitely come back here whenever I am in need of a cake!!

Laurel is such an amazing baker. Her cakes were super delicious and price was very fair. Pictures of our baby shower cake are posted on the website. I placed the order in early December knowing how quick bakers book up. She responded kindly and promptly event though she had her hands full with other projects and upcoming competitions. We picked her death by chocolate cake with chocolate ganache and vanilla cake with fresh banana cream filling. Both were outstanding and well received by all of our guests. We had many people tell us how beautiful the cake was and how yummy. We asked for service for 55 and we got more than we had planned for. Great job Laurel. Thank you so much. And we look forward to working with you again soon! God bless!

The first time I tasted Oh Cake was 10 years ago at a friend's wedding. And since that day my husband and I knew that we wanted to book her for our future wedding.So now, when it was finally our turn to start planning our wedding, and we made sure to track her down and thank goodness she is on Yelp because Laurel does all her masterwork from home. Upon meeting her, she was very professional and such a sweet lady. Her price is fairly reasonable and she was able to stay within our budget. We decided to go for her signature Neapolitan cake. It truly is one of the best cake I ever tasted! Our wedding guest loved it too. Some even came back for seconds. By the end of the night it was all gone.What I also love about Oh Cake is that Laurel said instead of saving our top tier, she will just bake us a fresh one for our first year wedding anniversary. We are beyond excited to have her delicious cake again! We highly recommend her and we will definitely be coming back to her for future events. THANK YOU AGAIN, LAUREL!

I couldn't have asked for a better experience when working with Laurel for my wedding cake. :) Listen, I'm a foodie and I know a few things when it comes to cake. Laurel is the real deal! I tried a couple of her famous flavors before deciding- Neapolitan and an intense chocolate cake (I forget the exact name). Holy cannoli. First we'll talk about the Neapolitan- amazingly clever layers of chocolate and vanilla cake with not-too-sweet strawberry cream. Laurel's cake texture is perfection every time, moist and soft. The flavors were scrumptious. LOVE ON A PLATE. The chocolate which I got for my then fiance's birthday. Delicious, moist chocolate cake with layers of filling- chocolate buttercream (which I would bathe in if given the chance and guarantee that no one would judge me) as well as a light chocolate mousse. It was delicious but not too rich so that I could enjoy my whole piece of cake. I went with the Neapolitan for our wedding cake. It was gorgeous and amazing, beautifully decorated. People said they really liked it, including my sister and she is extremely picky. :PI will be going to Laurel for future cakes!I'll attach pictures when I get a chance. :)

I got several cakes from her after I originally posted the review. She was just great to work with the cakes were awesome!
