Reviews Your Sweet Expectations

Carolyn was very kind and responsive. The cake I ordered, a barn cake for my daughter’s two year old birthday party, was everything I was hoping for. Not only as it adorable, it was also delicious! I wouldn’t hesitate to order a special event cake from Your Sweet Expectations again.

Ordered my daughters sweet 16 cakes from them and they were delicious! This was last year and since than we only order our cakes here! They won't disappoint!

Carolyn and her team have the absolute cutest shop in the Sonoma County area, and they provided our wedding cake as part of our package from the Fairview at Foxtail Golf Course. Honestly, I am so pleased with our choices! We set up an appointment with Carolyn a few months before the wedding, and she was running a little behind. To make up for this, they gave us some complimentary coffee and a treat. (Ooey gooey cake is freaking amazing, in case you missed it.) When we did get to the tasting, it was SO MUCH FUN. She brings out a little tray of different cakes, different fillings, and then the two different icings that she offers. Pro-tip, both icings are great but they're known for their Whipped Cream Cream Cheese Icing (WCCCI) so just save yourself the trouble and just go with that. As for the different cakes and fillings, there are so many options and so many varieties and so many combinations in turn! For a full listing of what they have available, see their website. Carolyn is also great at giving you suggestions of what is popular and what goes well together. We ended up picking a cupcake tower with a top tier for just the two of us. The top tier is a yellow cake with lemon cream and strawberry cream filling. The cupcakes were red velvet with cream cheese filling, pink champagne with raspberry filling, and a yellow cake with chocolate cream filling, All of course with WCCCI. They came on the day of the wedding and arranged everything together, including putting our custom cake topper on top of it! The cupcakes were GORGEOUS. They ended up looking like roses swirled prettily and there were plenty to go around. Our guests LOVED them and we encouraged them to take extra home. Every flavor combination we picked went over well and we loooooved our top tier. We froze the remaining cake so that we can enjoy it again! BONUS, Your Sweet Expectations gives you a free cake on your one year anniversary! So overall, this bakery is DELICIOUS and AMAZING.

I BECAME A DIABETIC TODAY AND IT WAS TOTALLY WORTH IT!! We ordered a birthday cake for my sons 2nd birthday and I had to lie to the other children that there was nothing left. It was fantastic. The balance of flavor was on point from the delicious cake to the frosting that was perfect and not overpowering or lacking. In the past we used a pastry chef at our old house for every special occasion. Sweet Expectations was more economical and leaps and bounds ahead in flavor. Some people, like Angie, and her one star review just don’t have a palate for fine cuisine and amazing pastry chefs. Their lives must lack tremendously versus the incredible cake from GOD I enjoyed this afternoon celebrating and this evening when I couldn’t resist devouring the morsels I hid from everyone else. Thank you so much Sweet Expectations for making my sons birthday a success and creating a shortage in insulin. It was totally worth it and we will be back for all of our special occasions and diabetic withdrawal needs. Thank you again. Cheers, Austin

Got my wedding cake through Your Sweet Expectations and they absolutely delivered. Locals know this place as the best of the best, with good reason. I am a pie person by nature, but the cake that we had was exceptional, the best cake that I have ever had, and beautifully decorated to our specifications. The best part was that there was NO leftover cake at the end of the night, our guests loved it!
