Jaqki’s Cake Creations

Jaqki made our wedding cake and our gender — reveal cake and hopefully she will be around to make my baby’s 1^st birthday cake. My husband and I love her chocolate cake and we love her. Unlike what a couple of bad reviews mentioned about her, we were treated nicely… like an old friend almost. She was accommodating with our requests and we appreciated that.

Jaqki was amazing! I ordered a two-​tiered cake for our upcoming engagement party a week before the event and Jaqki was able to squeeze us in for a 30 min cake tasting! She was very friendly and helpful and easy to work with. When I was undecided between choosing the second flavor, she was so patient and eventually helped me make a confident decision! I went with her well known marbled cake with Bavarian cream for the top tier and the bottom tier was white chiffon with strawberry, both very delicious. Her frosting alone is to die for! It’s a combination of whipped cream and buttercream, making it the perfect combination, I promise. It’s not overly sweet, punch you in your teeth and blast you with sugar, but a more delicate and pleasantly palatable sweetness that will keep your fork scraping for more.
We picked up the cake the day before the event and kept it refrigerated. When we served it the next day, the cake was still moist and just as tasty as when we sampled it during our tasting! Amazing! I highly recommend using Jaqki’s Cake Creations if you are able to. Her prices are very affordable, I called around to several other bakeries and Jaqki’s prices were 40% cheaper! The fact that I was able to get a super delicious cake at such a reasonable price at the last minute makes Jaqki a godsend, truly!
Her bakery is small so I would recommend taking only 1 – 2 other people with you while doing a cake tasting. Parking is generally easy as there is street parking right out front and a small private lot in back. If you show up early, there is a Starbucks right down the street if you want to sneak in some caffeine or kill some time.
Jaqki is definitely going to be my go-​to-​gal for all future cake needs, her work adds that special something to those special events in your life, I will be recommending her to all my family and friends :)
THANK YOU JAQKI!
P. S. She’s pretty old school, keeps records of everything on paper — no computers, email, etc. Also, cash only. A deposit is required day of tasting and the balance is due day of pick up or delivery, which by the way I believe is $ 75 for delivery.

Jaqki’s cakes are so beautiful and delicious. I received so many compliment from the quince cake she did for my daughter. The taste test was awesome. She freshly served full slices of cakes any favor you wanted. We were in a sweet sugar rush bu the time we were done. Great price, great cake, and great service. I love Jaqkis cake!

My husband and I got our wedding cake from here which was recommended by our venue. The cake was amazing and everyone loved it. There was no left overs that’s how good the cake was.
The cake was beautiful and amazing! Jackie mention that the natural frosting was better and she was so right. I mean the cake just melts in your mouth. We even had the top of the cake a year later and it was so good.

I first met Jaqki when I was looking for a bakery to make my wedding cake. I was impressed by her portfolio available in her bakery as well as the time spent getting an idea of what I had in mind for my big day. She went above and beyond to get it just right. The cake turned out amazing and just as promised! Not only beautiful, but tasty! I’ve been back for all my cake needs! Love her!

We were really happy with our wedding cake! I only had one tiny bite of it during the cake cutting at our wedding, but it seemed good. I wish I had been able to taste more. Jaqki was very helpful during our cake tasting and had HUGE pieces for us to try. She even packed up the left over cake for us to take home. I do wish that we had been able to try smaller pieces of more options because there were some flavors that I was interested in that I didn’t feel comfortable selecting without trying first. All in all though, it was a good experience!

We got our wedding cake from Jaqki and it was solid. We had a fairly large wedding (180+ people) and Jaqki’s Cake Creations were on a list of cake makers from our venue. We scheduled a meeting there and the owner was a very pleasant and sweet woman to deal with. She provided a list of the different cake bases and icings that were available with some suggestions of popular mixes. We tried several different combinations, which were all delicious, and finally settled on a red velvet combo. During our meeting we also discussed design and some custom Wall-​E and Eve wedding toppers we wanted to use. We were assured that everything would be fine.
Fast-​forward 6 month to the wedding and everything didn’t quite meet our expectations. We we saw the wedding cake we noticed that the cake a little crooked and as such the cake toppers very wobbly, and feel off a couple times during the evening. Also when it came to serving the cake, we found our cake slices to be on the dry side and not tasting quite as good as we remembered. After the wedding, we talked to some guests and some people loved the cake and found it moist and a couple people also got some dry slices as well. My wife and I took home most of the left over cake and as we went through eating it there indeed were moist parts and dry parts. Overall, just an ok experience.

Jaqki did a fabulous job our our wedding cake. It looked beautiful and tasted amazing! Thank you so much for the awesome cake… We all LOVED it! :)

Our cake was exactly what we wanted at a reasonable price. Jackie was so sweet and easy going. Our cake fit our venue perfectly and luckily she had delivered there many times so we felt confident. We also noticed everyone actually ate all their slices of cake. We did 2 different flavors and some people had both and said they were both delicious. The only thing that made me a bit nervous was my groom called about a week and a half out from our wedding to make final payment and she said she didn’t have any design notes on our cake, we had met several months before that and decided then. Of course we were a little concerned, but once I made my way down there, it was a quick review of examples and she did it exactly how we asked. Other than that, it was great!

I was walking down Burbank Blvd one morning, super early and walked passed this bakery. Guess what was out in front of their store in trash bags? Pillsbury cake mix boxes!!! o_​O I’m not a baker but aren’t you supposed to bake your cakes from scratch??? If you’re at home, use cake mix but an expensive bakery with custom creations??? No. I can’t believe what they charge and they use boxed cake mix! They charge an arm and a leg for decorating the cake because the cake costs them 99 cents. I’m not sure what made their trash spill out all over the curb but that was what was inside. Not just one box, I mean boxes on top of boxes. Without entering the bags, there were easily 10 cake mix boxes that I could see spilling out of the top. If you want custom cakes, go to a real cake bakery where they actually bake from scratch and not just mix and pour! Terrible!!!

Our wedding cake was not only beautiful, it was delicious! Jaqki was a pleasure to work with and she went above and beyond to please me with my particular wants. Can’t wait to order birthday cakes from her. My wedding party loved how moist our cake was. She did an amazing job!

My wedding cake was delicious! And it looked so beautiful. We chose two different flavors on our four tier wedding cake and they were both equally great. Jaqki was so great to work with and so helpful. I highly recommend her for any event and will use her in the future!

My husband and I ordered our wedding cake from Jaqki’s Cakes. I couldn’t have been happier with our beautiful and delicious cake. My mother and I met with Jaqki for a cake tasting and had a wonderful experience. She was very helpful and her years of experience steered us in the right direction. We tried several different combinations of cake and filling. Each layer of our cake had a different combination, but our favorite was Jaqki’s special marble cake with fudge/​bavarian crème filling, yummy! We had so many compliments on our delicious wedding cake. I definitely recommend Jaqki’s cakes!

I located this gem of a place on Unilocal and I couldn’t have been more happy with the outcome of the beautiful look and delectable taste of my 3 tier wedding cake! Also Jackie saved the day when a nearby florist flaked out on my appt. by picking up the roses for my cake for me and not charging me extra! She calmed me down and made my day with this small gesture to help a desperate bride to be, she is awesome!

Weve ordered cakes from Jaqki 3 times now. Everytime our guests devour them and always look forward to cake time. Not only are they pretty, they are delicious! We cant steer away from the Marble cake with chocolate fudge and bavarian crème filling.
Jaqki is a pleasure, has been with the business 30 years!
Enjoy!

MY Cake for my wedding was from here and ill tell you I have never received SO many compliments on cake in my entire life! it was delicious gorgeous huge and very well priced! I cant wait to have a baby just so I can have her make my shower cake !!!

Bad experience dealing with her. We made an appointment with her for a cake tasting for our wedding. The whole time she had a bad attitude, she was condescending and continuously kept making references that some of the stuff we liked was too expensive, even though we did not give her a budget. My wife and I are Hispanic and we don’t look ghetto, not sure what her problem was.
Even though we made an appointment for cake tasting, she did not have any cake for us to try. Which defeats the whole purpose of a cake tasting.
If you want someone who is a pleasure to deal with, don’t go here.

I’ve been to about 7 different bakeries in search of the perfect fairly priced wedding cake. Jaqki’s was the best. The spice cake is amazing. She listened to my ideas and made exactly what I wanted. Thank you Jaqki for making my special day even better.

Jaqki’s cakes are amazing! Taste great, look beautiful & Jaqki herself is so sweet!
She made my husbands grooms cake, our wedding cake and both our kids birthday cakes. I’ve also called on her last minute for a baby shower cake for my sister in law and again, she came through! Most recently she made a beautiful baptism cake for my niece.
Her cakes are always a hit at our parties! I refer her to all our family & friends!

Okay, so I was really nervous about coming here when I was reading the reviews. A few people were saying she was difficult, nickel-​and-​dimed for everything, and didn’t have fresh cake. WRONG!
The Castaway is paying for my wedding cake, so I have to choose from three bakeries where I wanted my cake from. I started with Jaqki’s since I liked the pics people posted. Apparently, you get a set type of cake (there are a LOT to choose from) and you kinda play with color and design and flavor.
I cannot even BEGIN to explain how tasty the cake was. I have been craving it everyday now! :(I had my mom, sister and fiancé with me, and she let us try 4 different types. We chose the marble cake with vanilla custard. Although, the lemon was a close 2^nd! Oh, dear Lord was it scrumptious. And I normally don’t like cake icing! She was super sweet, patient, and funny! She even gave us pointers on our trip to Hawaii for our honeymoon. Once my cake is made, I’ll post a pic of it to Unilocal :)
It’s a small cozy little place, (almost a hole in the wall). I wouldn’t bring more than 3 others with you. It would be too crowded and unnecessary. She has cakes displayed all over and a few albums to look through.
PS They tend to be at David’s Bridal in Burbank with samples, and they hand out little discount flyers! :)
