My brother-in-law and sister-in-law were married four years ago and got their cake from Cake Expressions. I tried their cake a year later (after it had been frozen for a full year) at their first anniversary and thought it tasted amazing! My husband and I decided to go there for our cake tasting and loved several of their samples. We decided to go with their Mango Mousse and it was a crowd pleaser! We wanted a simple design so we agreed on a three-tier cake with a scroll design. The cake frosting was ivory like my dress and the scroll frosting was white, which really make the design pop out. The cake and the dress are two things people never forget and we will never forget our amazing cake from Cero at Cake Expressions!!!

Cero and his cakes are AMAZING!! He made a beautiful 3-tier wedding cake for us that included intricate scrolling, Swarovski crystals, and 3 amazing flavors! We really enjoyed our experience tasting the different flavors and working with Cero and his staff to design our dream cake. We felt confident that Cake Expressions was going to deliver a lovely and delicious cake, and they did not let us down. We got many compliments on the beauty and the taste of the cake, so we were extremely happy with the results and would recommend Cake Expressions to other couples for their wedding. As an added bonus, if you provide them with an 8x10 of your cake after your wedding, you will receive a free anniversary cake the next year! No need to freeze the top layer of your cake if you go with Cake Expressions! :)

In my experience, wedding cakes are usually known for looking beautiful and tasting so-so. What we got was a perfectly decorated cake that tasted delicious. Seriously, people still mention it to us! Cake Expressions was super flexible by modifying one of their fillings for us and by working with a lace/ribbon design I found for our cake. Additionally, they have a great deal where if you bring in an 8x10 of your wedding cake they'll make you a cake for your first anniverary. We can't wait to take advantage of that!

We were thrilled with our cake! Our guests loved all the flavors, and we loved how easy it was working with Anthony Cero. He is super experienced, accommodating and very reasonably priced for the San Francisco Bay Area.

The cake is on the more expensive side (~$7 per person) but it was exactly what we wanted and very delicious. Bonus is they will make you an anniversary cake if you send them a photo of your cake. No frozen cake for us!

In general I feel that wedding cakes are way over priced. However, Cake Expressions were reasonably priced and my cake turned out exactly how I envisioned it. They were easy to work with and everyone complimented on how tasty the cake was.

My wedding cake came out beautiful and tasted amazing! I had many compliments on the style and beauty of my cake and also the flavor! We went for taste testing thinking we were going to go with white or chocolate, because we are very picky eaters and they had all flavors out for us to taste we ended up going with something completely out of our ordinary because it tasted so delicious! They were friendly and easy to work with!

Both my wife and I really enjoyed the spectacular and delectable cake that Cake Expressions made for us. From a different company, we got hand-crafted lifelike mini-dolls of ourselves, and when we put that on top of our cake, it was just the most spectacular cake ever! ALL of our guests complimented it. 5/5 for a terrific cake!

We tried 5 other bakers, all more expensive than this one, and Cake Expressions beat them easily. Excellent flavors, great presentation, and a very courteous staff. They even took extra effort to match the color of the ivory fondant and red in the red velvet to match our wedding colors.
Of note: one big area that stood out here is that they mix white chocolate in their fondant icing, which actually makes it taste edible. Was a huge plus over other bakers that make cakes where the fondant is so nasty you have to discard it after the cake is presented...

Cake Expressions is a small mom and pop business that is great at what it does. The day you meet with them to taste cakes, they have a plate all ready for you to choose each frosting, cake flavor, and filling. They have hundreds of photos of cakes to choose from and are even open to you telling them exactly what you want. They draw your cake right on your contract and they will even match colors exactly. They made a ribbon of frosting on my cake match my bridesmaids dresses to a T and she even made it look like satin, which is what the dresses were. They will even make a free 1 year anniversary cake for you if you give them a 5x7 or 8x10 professional photo of your cake! They did a great job arranging the flowers on the cake as well! The cake tasted wonderful! It was moist and delicious and better than I expected! And it was delivered right on time!

Cero at Cake Expressions is the best in the business! The tasting was the most fun and easiest wedding planning event we experienced. We had a beautiful three layer cake with each layer a different flavor. Several of our guests came up to me and raved about how awesome the chocolate with butter brickle icing was! Cero was a pleasure and extremely proffesional and timely. I highly recommend him, his work and his cake!

Created a beautiful cake with custom icing decoration. Cake did not taste as good as samples did during initial tasting. Delivery was on time. Reasonably good value for money.

We changed the flavor and design of our cake last minute. Cake Expressions were able to accommodate all of our needs, and people there were extremely nice to work with. The cake turned out to be really beautiful and was the talk of the party! It tasted great, and we could not ask for more!

Our cake was perfect. It was yummy and the correct colors. It was delivered on time and everyone I spoke to were very professional. I was able to sit down with my cake maker and talk with her about my cake.
The only thing that concerns me is that I called to find out when my money was due and they had a hard time finding my order.

Great looking and tasting cake! Was responsive to changes! Only negative was that a phone call wasn't returned promptly, but when they realized the mistake, the owner contacted me directly which was nice.

After reading a few reviews and meeting with the owners, I went with Cake Expressions and overall, had a bad experience. My wife and I wanted something more cute than traditional so we went with multi-tiered cupcakes. Our color theme was white and yellow flowers so we asked for the cupcakes to be white cake with white and yellow flowers in butter frosting. Well the cake itself was not what we had sampled as far as taste and more than half of the cupcakes were chocolate, throwing out whole theme off. The flowers on the top had green on them and overall the presentations was not very nice. We ordered about 200 of these cupcakes and at the end of the night we had about 170 left because they did not taste very good at all. Overall we were very disappointed with this vendor. We felt that something as easy as cupcakes could have been done a lot better and at least tasted as good as a Safeway Bakery.
