2024-01-31 21:00:46Krumbs Cakes came highly recommended. We went in for a tasting for our wedding. I had prefilled an online form with our request prepared to have a sweet time with my groom-to-be. When we arrived for our appointment, they were not expecting us. Miscommunication on their end. I was hoping for a special experience. The person who did the tasting did her best to accommodate considering the miscommunication, which we appreciated.We had a Spanish-themed wedding and requested a ruffle around a three tier cake with one inch polka dots (I showed photos).In order to create the look we wanted for the cake, we needed to go with a fondant icing. Krumbs standard fondant is made with marshmallows. We asked if the gelatin in their marshmallows is vegetarian, they needed to get back to us on that. (Gelatin is made from pig bones. We are vegetarians.) In order to have a vegetarian fondant made for our cake, we were charged an additional $50. I was considering a buttercream frosting per our wedding planner, but it would not create the look we were wanting.When the cake arrived at our wedding, the ruffle was beautiful but the one inch polka dots, were tiny white pearls evenly spaced in a pattern, not what I requested and shared on the form and in my inspiration images.The vanilla cake with raspberry filling tasted amazing (minus the fondant).Our wedding day was beautiful. The cake looked beautiful (our florist crowed the cake with a cascade of gorgeous flowers), it was delivered on time and we all got to enjoy it. The fondant and pearls were not going to change our joy. However, the communication challenges impacted our rating for this review.Photo ©2022 Olivia Smartt Photography San Francisco

2019-12-01 03:23:12Christian and his team did an amazing job. My husband and I wanted to have a brownie cake at our wedding (and surprisingly that was harder to find than I expected). I reached out to Krumbs Cake and Christian responded promptly with the excitement to create a brownie cake for us (for the first time). We went in for a tasting and everybody was super kind and excited to create a brownie cake for the wedding. They really listened to us and did such an amazing job. We got a three tiered brownie cake with salted caramel on the top for just my husband and I to cut. For the guests we had sheet cake brownie made as 3x4 inch brownies with a dollop of the salted caramel frosting on top of each. The brownies were delicious and at the end, all the brownies had been eaten! I highly recommend Krumbs Cakes.

2022-06-02 03:07:24Krumbs cakes is our favorite bakery for custom cakes in the Bay Area!! Ever since they baked our wedding cake in 2011, weve been hooked! Their cakes are fluffy, moist, and the ingredients are fresh and high quality and everything is made from scratch. Christian is the friendliest Baker and so easy to work with.Theyve also baked cakes for some of our wedding anniversaries, baby showers, babys 1st birthday, kids birthdays, baptism, graduations, mothers day, fathers day, etc.Some of our favorite flavors are berry filling with chocolate cake, passion fruit filling with coconut cake, prickly pear filling with vanilla cake, and so many more! Also, Ive never had a Gluten Free cake that tastes as good as Krumbs!!Krumbs has created cakes for us including the following inspired themes: Star Wars, Mexican art, My Little Pony, Mermaids, Pandas, and many others, all of which we have absolutely LOVED!!!

2021-07-15 21:57:38Christian made our wedding cake exactly how we wanted. He was willing to make a 3 tier cake with two bottom tiers made from styrofoam. We both arent huge cake fans, so we bought a different dessert option for our wedding guests. My parents are traditional, so they really wanted us to have a cake to cut into for a photo. Christians willingness to provide styrofoam tiers allowed us to give my parents what they wanted, an elegant/extravagant cake to cut into for the photo, as well as save us money (only cost us $166)!We ordered a vanilla cake with Meyer lemon cream filling as well as a gluten and dairy-free cupcake with dairy free lemon frosting (for the gluten-free, dairy-free bride). We ordered a laser-cut cake topper from Etsy and got cake flowers from our florist. Krumbs cake delivered it to the venue before the reception began and placed everything on the cake. We loved how the cake turned out!

2021-09-23 07:00:02Highly recommend cakes or cookies from Krumbs Cakes. Christian and his team at Krumbs Cakes were absolutely amazing. We ordered two custom birthday cakes for my grandpas 90th birthday and brothers 30th birthday party back in October 2019. Both cakes were beautifully made. I coordinated our entire party and trip on behalf of my father, from Hong Kong where I currently live with my family. Christian was very accommodating and everything from design request, payment and delivery was a breeze. For the price, we paid it would have only gotten us one tiny custom cake over here in Hong Kong so we were beyond thrilled with the end results and had plenty of cake left over after the party.*Apologies for taking so long to post a review.

2022-03-17 21:17:41The cake for my wedding was beautiful. We had a 3 tiered cake, each with a different flavor. I only got to try the lemon layer, but it was delicious and very moist. They were even able to make me a Grooms cake kind of last minute that had a bourbon filling my fiancé loved! Thank you for the amazing cakes!

2018-05-30 07:17:33Christian and Krumbs Cakes are simply the best. Their custom cakes are stunningly beautiful and delicious at the same time. Challenge the Austrian chef Christian and his team to design the craziest customized cake you can imagine. Theyll get it done for your special occasion, be that your sisters wedding, your parents wedding anniversary, your godsons graduation party, or your companys financing round closure party.

2023-12-11 19:08:20Christians cake was a major highlight of our big night. I wish I had a picture to show but the photographer needs a couple weeks to process the photo evidence.Cake tasting was fun and easy and the final result was the best cake weve ever seen (and eaten). My husband and I have nothing but the best to say about Krumbs Cakes.We will definitely be ordering more cakes in the future.
