Recently placed a semi-large order for a birthday party. I took a chance with Patty’s Cakes and Desserts solely based on the rave reviews from my fellow Yelpers. Couldn’t have made a better decision! I made an initial inquiry on their website about availability and some initial questions about my proposed order and pricing. I was connected with Paulina U. She was OUTSTANDING to work with from beginning to end. Kind, patient with all of my many questions, and quick to respond. Paulina made the process to place an order simple and stress free. The professionalism and organization between our interactions validated for me their expertise in their cakes and handling orders for events/special occasions.
My party was on a Sunday and the Patty’s Cakes and Desserts is closed on Sunday. This proposed a small hiccup in my plans, but everything else about the ordering process and their offerings checked off all of the boxes for me. I scheduled to pick up my order on the Saturday prior to my event, and though we did store a cake and several cupcakes overnight, they tasted super fresh and moist the next day as if they had just been prepared. Our order consisted of
– 8″ chocolate cake with Peanut butter mousse. (minor custom design)
– a dozen mini cupcakes (lemon blueberry, neapolitan, s’mores, and chocolate with oreo)
– 7 standard sized cupcakes (2 chocolate with oreo, 2 s’mores cupcake, chocolate with peanut butter mousse, chocolate with vanilla mousse, and a white razzle)
– 2 vegan cupcakes (vegan chocolate with chocolate fudge and vegan chocolate with chocolate mousse)
Another deciding factor of booking with Patty’s Cakes and Desserts were their vegan and gluten-free offerings. Their ability to cater to the different diets and allergies in our group also made them a definite choice and one-stop shop for my group’s needs. Aside from their moist and light cake, their frosting is true to their claim of also being light and airy. It was not a rich, overly sweet buttercream. I tend to not like buttercream frosting (or most frosting on cakes/cupcakes), but I found the frosting from Patty’s Cakes and Desserts to be absolute perfection.
The quality and taste of Patty’s Cakes and Desserts is undeniable. For that reason, I would reorder if I needed a cake for an event in that area of OC.
