Sweet Palette Bakery

I used the Sweet Palette Bakery for my wedding. Let me start off by saying that they did an amazing job. I had four wedding cakes made, all with various fillings. The cakes looked amazing and were yummy tasting. The owner, Jose, did an amazing job and delivered them on time! I highly recommend this place to anyone wanting beautiful and delicious creations!

I try to support local as much as possible, so I needed a cake for my sister’s birthday. Saw on local media a cake that they have previously made that is exactly what we wanted, so we walked in and before we showed them what we wanted they said they couldn’t do it. They are too busy. We were very disappointed that they didn’t seem interested in our business. As much as we understand how busy this time of the year can be, I feel like it could have been handled a little bit better. 8 days notice, it wad an 8 inch cake is all we wanted. We are not compelled to give it another try.

So I’ve seen some monstrosity of cakes on their ig but I also saw one that was actually what we wanted. I love small town bakeries most of the time but I have been here once looking for macroons and no one even acknowledged me. However I was willing to give it another chance. We went in to ask for an estimate and they flat out said no they were too busy with a bit over a week in advance even for a small cake. I’ve never had any of their pastries but I can tell your their customer service is terrible. I will not be back and I will highly recommended no one does either.

Let me start off by saying, I have no idea what a couple of you are saying. This place has the most amazing cupcakes! I know cupcakes, I use to have my own cupcake/​cake bakery. When you are a baker you tend to shop around when you go to different towns; tasting and testing to see what is what. I love this place! The frosting is made fresh everyday, and it’s a light fluffy whipped frosting! All of the cupcakes have filling at no extra cost, like other cupcake bakeries! Some of my favorite items to eat besides the cupcakes are the mini strawberry pizzas (which you can’t just have one, they are soooo yummy), next is the chocolate dipped s’mores, then the éclairs, the cheese cakes that are in an edible chocolate bowl, oh, and the heart shaped cookies are also really good, the macaroons are also delightful! I had them make a bunch for my sisters baby shower and everyone just raved over them! They were 100% worth every penny! For this place being in a small building, they sure do do a lot! I order stuff from here for my kids’ teachers, and friends all the time; I always have everyone asking where I got the baked good from, and most people don’t even know they even exist. I would go there everyday if I could! You will not be disappointed, unless you go there too late in the day, because they tend to sell out fast; even though they tend to make over 200+ cupcakes a day, and dozen and dozens of strawberry pizzas, they can’t keep up with the demand, which is a great things, it really says a lot of this place!

Love this place! Amazing cupcakes and the best in town. I’m so happy they opened up! I’ve been waiting for a yummy place like this for a long time. I recommend this place to anyone with a sweet tooth!

My husband and I have been on a hunt for good cupcakes ever since we were stationed here from San Diego. There is a cupcake shop we love in Visalia but who wants to drive there all the time.
The appearance of the cupcakes and the size of them get 5 stars. The taste not so much. There is nothing unique about the cupcakes. Right when I walked through the door I knew right away there was whipped cream used as icing instead of a buttercream icing made from scratch. That in itself was a disappointment but I still wanted to try the actual cake. The cake was pretty bland and tasted like a box of Duncan Hines or Pillsbury cake mix. Definitely nothing special.
I feel like the cream cheese filling that was used inside my red velvet cupcake should have been used as the icing instead of whipped cream. I would have enjoyed my cupcake a little more if that were the case. My husband had the smores cupcake and he felt the same way I did about them. Unfortunately as much as we wanted to like this bakery we won’t be back.

I’ve been craving fancy cupcakes for a while. Since moving from LA to Hanford, I’ve been searching for places like Sprinkles cupcake, but couldn’t find it. Then I came across Sweet Palette on social media and saw pictures of their cupcakes. They looked so good that I have to go try them. I had the chocolate one and red velvet. My husband tried the rasberry white chocolate. We both really enjoyed them. The cupcakes tasted as good as they look. I really like the fact that they are not overly sweet. It was perfect! I also enjoyed the fillings. Definitely will come back for more!

Cupcakes were just ok. It didn’t have that fresh bakery homemade taste. Was similar to cupcakes I can get at Save Mart or Walmart.

Since prior to his opening when I first meet Jose, he has clearly shown a talent that has been missing in our area for many years. This magnificent young man a self-​taught baker, Jose has without questioned demonstrated superior talents and creativity with his products that have always been superior. Was in the store yesterday and it was packed again.
I have always found that unless a complainer gives the events in its entirety, hence, the question, what the real story! Moreover, from time to time, every business has a blip and recovers; otherwise, they would all be out of business after the first hiccup.
The successes coming to Jose will be many and could not be more pleased for his business.

No stars for this bakery. Unilocal made me check a star. Do not order wedding cakes from this place. Ordered a cake, paid 350 and it was not decorated right, looked plain and the middle cake was lopsided. Wedding started at 3 pm & cake wasn’t ready until after 2pm so the bride wasn’t able to tell see it was wrong until after her ceremony. I still don’t understand how the owner allowed the cake to leave the premises looking like it did. He posts a lot of cake pics on instagram but the cake we ordered looked awful.

I wasn’t blown away by what I had but it was good: a lemony custard filling in a light fluffy dough shell and topped with blueberries and strawberries. I do appreciate the size of the cupcakes for the price. The cupcake was for my niece so it was vanilla which I’m generally not a fan of anyways. I did like it enough that I will go back. I was eyeing the chocolate mousse that is in an edible white chocolate cup and maybe try a chocolate or red velvet cupcake.
It seems by looking at the Facebook page that when I visited, the bakery was not stocked with A LOT of what the bakery makes. I would LOVE to try the various cheesecakes he listed on FB: pistachio, snickerdoodles, and chocolate lovers. Also, macaroons!
Hopefully, next time I go there will be more of a selection.
Also, I didn’t see it listed anywhere but the bakery does do wedding cakes. The owner stated that he ideally likes a 30-​day advance order.

I just had the best cupcake of my life here. Also, the strawberry pizza was a great breakfast, they are not as sweet as they look, and therefore not too overpowering to eat early in the morning.

Best bakery in Hanford by far and one of the best i have ever been to anywhere.

My review so far is just on cupcakes. I tried 6 different flavors: Banana… strawberry.lemon.peanut butter… oreo. and red velvet. The cupcakes were all decorated beautifully. The actual cake on all of the cupcakes was somewhat dry so that was dissapointing. The only exception was the banana which was my favorite. Peanut butter was a close runner up. The lemon was good however along with the strawberry the filling tasted canned. The strawberry cupcake was just a white cake with strawberry topping… I would love to see some fresh strawberry mixed into the cake. The red velvet and oreo were total misses for me. I think the red velvet needed the cream cheese frosting all the way around and not just in the middle. Hopefully with time the flavors will get as strong as the presentation.
