My husband and I ordered a small wedding cake for our special day and it was wonderful. We requested something simple yet elegant with flowers, and the execution was beautiful. We both loved the complex black sesame flavor (rare for a cake in our city) and I’m still drooling thinking about it! I would definitely order a cake from PQ again, especially for special occasions like birthdays or renewing our vows.

Sf Candy Bar 

5.0

  • Serves Palo Alto, CA

When I opened SF Candy Bar in 2012, the business was busy from the start. In 2012, the economy was just coming out of a recession and Silicon Valley started to attract top talent from all over the world. Experiential add on features, like our candy buffets, was fun at office parties, trade shows and holiday parties. Brides and Mitzvahs also found so much joy in our services. Fast forward to more than a decade later, we have added on more services from popcorn buffets, custom packaged party favors, and trail mix buffets. SF Candy Bar is dedicated to providing stunning buffet designs to guests at special events.

We recently had SF Candy Bar cater a popcorn buffet at our event, and it was a huge success! The setup was stylish and well-organized, with an impressive variety of popcorn flavors that appealed to everyone. From classic buttered and caramel to more unique options like white cheddar and spicy sriracha, the selection was both fun and flavorful. The popcorn was fresh and perfectly seasoned, with each flavor offering a deliciously satisfying crunch. The presentation was eye-catching, with decorative jars and scoops that added a charming touch to the buffet. The SF Candy Bar team was professional and attentive, ensuring the buffet remained fully stocked and inviting throughout the event. The popcorn buffet was a standout feature that guests couldn't stop talking about. SF Candy Bar made it a delightful and memorable experience.

Auntie Viv's 

5.0

  • Starts at $500
  • Serves Palo Alto, CA

Auntie Viv's is an AAPI woman-owned & family operated small business adventure. When we visited Maui for the first time, and I fell in love at “first taste” with my very first Hawaiian shave ice. How I describe this phenomenon: “It literally was like a deliciously flavored, puffy cloud that instantly melted in my mouth & tasted like liquid gold. It was the best epicurean experience ever." I had my sights set on opening my own shave ice business & spending more time with my husband & two young daughters. I found myself being unhappy, working really long hours & it took a toll on my physical & mental health. Auntie Viv's opened Sept. 2017.

I was completely lost on what to do for dessert for my wedding until I stumbled upon Auntie Viv's!! My husband and I went to Hawaii for our first vacation together so having shave ice brought back so many memories. I booked her services only a month before my wedding, communication was prompt and smooth. I was so happy she could accommodate on such late notice. Vivian arrived early and figured out all the logistics of setting up so she could get ready for service which was a detail I missed but she handled it so well. The shave ice was so delicious, my friends and family still tell me about how good the shave ice was to this day! Having Auntie Viv's at my wedding was such a highlight, and I would definitely book her again for events in the future.

Awarded Best of Zola
Karlie was very easy to work with. We met with her and then based on our conversation she sketched out ~6 different design ideas and also shared some example photos of different design aspects. The final cake looked exactly like what we had in mind. I remember during the wedding telling my husband that I was surprised they ended up using real flowers instead of sugar flowers. We didn't realize until the next day that they were actually sugar! They looked incredibly realistic and matched the floral decor perfectly. Also - the cake itself was delicious. We had plans to freeze some of it and eat it on our first anniversary, but ended up eating it all. Oops. We received numerous compliments from our guests. Thank you Story Cake Studio!

We had our wedding reception at a brewery and wanted some easy to eat sweet and salty snacks. These popcorn flavors were delicious, they sent us flavors to try before we decided. We chose 4 flavors and they shipped them right to our house. The popcorn buckets had our cute custom labels which they designed for us and looked PERFECT! We had tons of compliments on the popcorn. We ordered plenty and people were grabbing them to take home at the end of the night. A perfect snack after a few beers. Theu were very fast with the samples and the order too!

Secret Kitchen SF 

5.0

  • Starts at $1
  • Serves Palo Alto, CA for additional fees

I really love cakes and desserts. Like, I REALLY love them! I have professional training in the tastiest pastry areas: from chocolates to caramels, classic to modern European cakes. The wedding dessert table is the happiest place in the world, and my aim is to provide that for your big day.

Elena was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding cake and desserts. I can't say the same about the rest of food we had for our wedding, so I am glad we went with her for the most important part. From the moment we reached out, she was incredibly responsive, helpful and on top of every detail. She listened to my fiancée's (now wife!) desire for an actually TASTY cake with really unique buttercream flowers. I'd never seen such pretty designs on a cake before, but this is my first wedding, so maybe everyone has them these days? Elena even drew a detailed sketch to show us exactly what the final cake would look like. It was a HUGE hit with our guests. Everyone raved about the lemon flavor. It tasted like I imagine a Sicilian lemon tasting without ever having been to Siciliy. The cake and desserts (we had tiramisu cups too!) from Secret Kitchen SF were the standout of the evening, almost eclipsing this modest groom. I definitely heard more oohs and aaaah during dessert than I heard about my tailored suit (waste of money, boys!). We're so grateful to Elena for helping make our special day even more memorable.

Driven by a lifelong love for the art of baking, my passion for cake-making ignites my soul. Amidst the challenges of the pandemic, I found solace and purpose in the kitchen, channeling my creativity into crafting delectable confections. My journey began with a formal education in culinary arts in 2001, followed by an exhilarating experience working at the 02' Winter Olympics. This exposure fueled my ambition to venture into the world of cake baking, where every ingredient tells a story, and every slice brings joy.

We had the pleasure of working with Ms. Dee from Cake Baking Cakes for our wedding cake last November (2023), and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. Ms. Dee was professional, attentive, and delivered exactly what we wanted. The cake was not only stunning but also absolutely delicious. We got so many compliments on the dessert!!!! The set up was beautifully done I couldn’t have asked for anything better! She handled the delivery and setup with ease, ensuring everything was perfect for our special day. We've also enjoyed her cupcakes, which are equally delightful. Ms. Dee's talent and dedication made our wedding unforgettable. Highly recommend her for any special occasion!

I've enjoyed mochi donuts from other businesses but someone told me I had to try Mochata and I'm glad I took their word for it. Best mochi donuts hands down that I've had in a long time! I reached out to Erik to inquire about catering mini mochi donuts for my wedding in March 2024 and his customer service was on a whole other level. He was so personable and friendly that I just wanted to order just because of that (go small businesses go!). I asked if he had samples to try and he gladly made a batch and I ended up ordering 5 dozen mini donuts. Everyone at my wedding LOVED them. So much that I didn't even get to have any myself during reception! What stands out the most about Mochata's donuts is that the flavor is actually IN the donut itself. Not just the icing that we're all used to. And the texture? Exactly the way a mochi should taste. Flavors? ON POINT!! The toppings are very generous, especially the Cookies N Cream and Mint Oreo. My absolute favorites are Coconut Pandan, Ube and Strawberries N Cream and my husband always goes for the Mint Oreo. Now that it's post-wedding, I've been having cravings so I ordered more just for my family and I to enjoy. I haven't tried all the flavors yet but I have no doubt that they all taste delicious. I also recently got myself a Thai Horchata drink. I never thought about combining the two flavors together and it was super good! Now I feel like I need to try every flavor of that as well. Thank you Erik for being able to make my wedding day even more special! Definitely plan to be a regular customer for whenever I have a craving.
