The West Side Bakery

We hired The West Side bakery for our wedding event Nov 20, 2021 at Gervasi Vineyard. We had a small cake with a cupcakes and french macarons for our favors. Barb is a pleasure to work with. Everything was delicious. i would definitely recommend and hire again for any future events. Photo Cred: Sabrina Hall Photography

I've been here several times and have always had wonderful experiences. They also have some of the best vegan options around. I ordered a birthday cake for an extremely picky boss this week and he was blown away by the carrot cake. Carrot cake is his absolute favorite, he's tried many, so this is big. The funfetti cake also received many compliments from another birthday event. They just need a gluten free option, my poor husband keeps missing out!

I cannot say enough good things about West Side Bakery!! As just a basis, their cakes are incomparable in taste to any other bakery in town. They are deliciously moist and their buttercream is so light and smooth. Barb made my wedding cake and I asked for her to copy the lace pattern on my dress in the design of the cake. She literally made the cake all that I dreamed of!! She made a design that matched my dress perfectly and looked so beautiful on the cake. It was so worth it to have a unique cake and she is just so talented. Cannot recommend enough!!

I order a two tier birthday cake for my daughter. It was $237. It wasn’t that good sadly. You would expect that an expensive cake would be flavorful and mind blowing delicious but the cake that I order was nasty. It was dry and you can hardly taste the flavors. It was a chocolate peanut butter cake and a strawberry banana cake. The flavors were nothing unordinary. How could they mess it up?! It was dry and nasty. I don’t know what people are ordering from there that is soo good but it was my first time ordering from there because I saw that the reviews were good. The cake was nasty. They got the decorations wrong and it wasn’t the way I wanted even though I specifically told the lady on the phone how I wanted it to look. I sent them two pics of how I wanted the cake to be decorated and it was easy peasy decoration. How could they get it wrong?! It was so simple!! They decorated the cake a different way. (Eye roll***) Then the lady on the phone told me that there’s a 25% upfront charge for the cake order. I said ok and gave her my credit card number and she charged me full price for it!!! What the heck?!?! Your only suppose to charge my card $59 dollars and if you do an excellent job with my cake then I’ll pay the full difference. I’m so mad at them. I will never go again!

I'd give The West Side Bakery more than 5 stars if I could. We worked with Barb and her team for our Wedding cake and cupcakes, and the whole process was so easy! They provided us with 3 cakes at our tasting, and we were sold right away! They were SO delicious, and Barb was so friendly. She even worked with me to surprise my husband with a Grooms cake. HIGHLY recommend!
