Sweet Surrender Specialty Desserts & Pastries 
Rating: 5.0 (6 reviews)
  • Starts at $250
  • Serves Rancho Santa Margarita, CA

I started baking in my early teens for fun. Home-style baking at first, then training in my cousin's bakeries in Solvang, California. Family and Friends began to request pies, cakes and other dessert items for their special events from me, so I decided to make it my business. Menu available on my website

The quality of their work was superior - the desserts were fresh, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. They created a perfect array of unique sweets for our guests, going above and beyond to make our dessert table look stunning. Julie is a true master of her craft, and her passion shines through in every item she makes. There wasn't a single dessert left at the end of the night - our guests devoured every last bite! We were also thrilled to receive a fresh anniversary cake from Sweet Surrender to enjoy on our first wedding anniversary. It was perfection.

  • Starts at $7
  • Serves Rancho Santa Margarita, CA

Simply sweet cakery was founded on passion. our love for baking, design, and people, drives us to make sure everything we make is the absolute best it can be. simply sweet cakery operates differently than most bakeries. we do not have a storefront with pre-made items for sale. as a custom order boutique bakery, we work with you one on one from start to finish, to make sure what you order is perfect, delicious, and enjoyed by you and your guests. we believe in quality over quantity, which gives us the time to stay organized and detail-oriented.

Simply Sweet Cakery provided a beautiful cake for our wedding day. Their communication was quick and friendly, they had a very easy planning process. Our tasting box pick up was simple and enough cake for the two of us. They were a preferred vendor for our Wedgewood wedding venue and an excellent choice . Our cake was perfect and our guests were thrilled with how it tasted and looked. We got so many complements on the Dutch chocolate flavor! We were so happy with Simply Sweet Cakery's contribution to making our special day even more wonderful.

We hired Connor to make our wedding cake and we are tremendously happy we did. We were in the unique position of planning our California wedding while living in Massachusetts, but Connor was awesome to work with. He was extremely communicative over phone and email, he offered to ship samples to us (but we ended up trying them when we happened to be in California for other reasons), and he understood our colorful/wildflower vision perfectly. He sent us some mock-ups of the cake design, we iterated a few times, and the final product was exactly what we were looking for. The flavors were also delicious - we ended up going with 3 flavors because we loved them so much. Quite possibly the most delicious cake I've eaten.. and we received so many compliments from our guests. We are just so happy. Thank you Connor for making our spectacular wedding cake - you'll be hearing from us for every single anniversary to follow :)

You can feel the love and care in every bite of Sweet Cute! I’ve tried 8-10 of their flavors and each one knocks it out of the park. Birthday cake has real cake pieces, the chocolate covered strawberry had me over the moon, and every vegan or gluten-free flavor has truly impressed me. Sweet Cute is willing to work with you for custom ingredients and orders, too! They catered for an event of mine that was 150 people and were able to incorporate specific ingredient requests. The business is so easy to work with and the founder brings so much passion into her product. I even order individual pints here and there because I can’t get enough! 11/10 experience.

Mariela was so amazing to work with! She was kind, listened to our wants and needs, and even took on the challenge of doing a cake design she hadn’t done before, for our wedding! We ordered a small, tiered wedding cake along with a few dozen cupcakes for our guests and everything was delicious!! We had chocolate and vanilla and Oreo flavors and everyone loved it all! She even made us a batch of different flavors to try for tasting and they were all so good, it was hard to decide! But we are so happy with our final decision on the cake and even happier with how beautiful it turned out! Her pricing was more than fair and the cakes were more than scrumptious! Thank you, Mariela!

  • Starts at $175
  • Serves Rancho Santa Margarita, CA

Handmade with love and the best ingredients in NYC since 1995. We bake fresh and ship same-day, so cookies arrive ready to enjoy (though we recommend warming them in the oven for that famous gooey center).

We brought out Levain cookies for our guests as the last round was called at the bar, they were the perfect delicious last note before we headed off to the after party. Everyone scrambled for them, and I saw a few getting stashed in pockets for later! My favorite text from a friend the next morning was: "I have to say, Levain cookies for breakfast is def a thing. Fills the belly. Calms the demons." :)
