The Reviews

Written By: Ronna Hoyle

We ordered two cakes from Alexander’s Patisserie. The first cake was for our engagement party. We did the tasting on on a Friday afternoon. The place is busy but very easy to get around. We picked our cake and paid for it. We then ordered the second cake. For the wedding. This cake was more complex than the first one. It had three different flavors. White chocolate raspberry, lemon with lemon curd, and coconut with coconut cream and raspberry. Both cakes were delicious. The cake was beautiful. The complexity added more detail to the cake. And it was delicious. We loved it. The best part was that we did not have to do any decorating. The cakes were already beautiful. Everything worked smoothly. And the cakes were delivered on time. On the day of the wedding. The second cake was more complex. But we had some problems with the delivery. The driver could not find the place. It took him a long time. And then when he got there the cake was not ready. He had a lot of problems and was very late. But the Alexander’s team was very nice and tried to solve the problem. The cake was finally ready after a long delay. The cake was delicious but we were not so happy with the way the second cake was delivered.

Alexander’s custom cakes are absolutely amazing! We used their cakes as inspiration for our designs and I can’t say enough great things about our cake. They were so patient with us through the process and I loved getting to meet with them to talk about our designs. They made sure we were getting exactly what we wanted and every detail was exactly what we were hoping for.

The most important part of course, is the taste! Their cakes are so delicious and they have such a wide variety of flavors and fillings. We did a vanilla cake with lemon filling, raspberry filling, and buttercream frosting. It’s absolutely my favorite!

I highly recommend Alexander’s custom cakes. Their customer service is unbelievable, their custom cakes are so beautiful, and their flavors are to die for!

Wow, wow, wow! Alexander’s pastries is THE place to go for wedding cakes in the Bay Area. I’ve tried all of the flavors and each one is better than the last. The cakes are not only delicious but beautiful. I had a four-tiered cake with each different flavor.

They offer a tasting of all of their cakes and fillings on a Saturday morning. This is the only place that I was able to try all of the flavors and combinations of cake and filling. Everything is delicious!

I had a picture of the cake that I wanted and they were able to create it. The end result looked even better than the picture.

They are incredibly busy (as are all bakeries), but they still made time to talk to me and answer all of my questions.

The pricing is perfect. A three-tiered cake with each different flavor is about $165 (I think it’s about $15 more for a fourth different flavor). That’s the price of a nice restaurant dinner that you and your fiancé can eat afterwards (no waste!)

Get ready to be wowed by the flavor, look and price of Alexander’s cakes.

By the way, the cake was DELICIOUS. Even my brother who hates all things sweet loved it and had a second piece.

My husband and I decided to go with something non-traditional for our wedding cake. He is a big Doctor Who fan and I love the movie Snow White. So we wanted our cake to be Doctor and Snow White in a story. We also wanted the cake to be “cake-y” but still delicious. We had several meetings with Chef Alex at Alexander’s to brainstorm ideas for the cake. We ended up with a wedding cake filled with red velvet cake, cream cheese frosting, and ganache (for the TARDIS) and also pineapple cake, cream cheese frosting, and coconut cream filling (for the house at the end of the rainbow). We were really pleased with how everything turned out. The cake was so delicious. We had several different flavors and they were all great. The details were amazing. We also had some Doctor Who themed cupcakes that were a big hit. On top of everything, Chef Alex and his team were really helpful and great to work with. They also made an anniversary cake for us in the shape of a carrot (our favorite TARDIS insignia)! It was a really fun and different kind of wedding cake. Thank you Alexander’s!
