My daughter’s birthday was approaching and one of the key components to her Birthday celebration is her cake. I had made it a tradition since her cake for her first birthday was just too precious that I wanted to continue getting her nice custom cakes for her birthdays.
As her birthday got closer I was looking forward to going to Hans and Harry’s Bakery in Bonita which is where I have been getting her cakes done since her first birthday. They have always been super nice and have been great in creating custom cakes for us according to our birthday theme. Not to mention delicious cakes. This years theme was Frozen.
Unfortunately, when I arrived to Hans and Harry’s Bakery I discovered that they no longer create custom cakes. I was in complete shock with this curve ball. I was told that the owner thought that they were taking too long creating custom cakes and no longer wanted to provide them. I was very sad to hear this because I know I am not the only one that will pay for these once a year beautiful custom cakes but it was time to move on, I guess.
It is hard to find a bakery that not only makes great cakes but that they taste good as well. So I started searching online and going on Yelp to see what other bakery I could go to. I ended up deciding to check out Cake in Mission Hills San Diego and was so happy to be welcomed and received with such great customer service. It put me at ease because like I mentioned before for us the cake is the main focus to my daughter’s birthday celebrations. My daughter looks forward to her cake, the first two years not so much because she was too young but since last year (her 3rd birthday) and this year she has been greatly involved in her cake creation. Cake bakery was kind enough to listen to what we wanted as far as the decoration for the cake. I even had a picture with me as an idea of what we wanted and they said they could do it and even make it better; they told me not to worry that they were going to take care of us. I felt and knew that I could trust them.
The day had arrived to celebrate Natalia’s birthday and I was busy taking care of some things at home so I asked my husband to pick up the cake. My daughter and I were anxiously awaiting for the cake to arrive. When we saw it we fell in love. My daughter’s eyes sparkled with happiness. I was so thankful and grateful and new immediately that sometimes things happen for a reason. It was meant for us to switch bakeries. Cake did an amazing job with the cake. The Olaf, made out of chocolate, that they created was just too cute. Also, you should know that they don’t use fondant on their cakes (fondant is that thick icing that is used to decorate or sculpt cakes) they use butter cream frosting which in my opinion is a lot better than the fondant that usually ends up just being a blanket of icing you don’t really eat.
If you are looking for delicious cake, beautiful creations, great customer service and just in general a great bakery do not look any further and give Cake in Mission Hills San Diego a try. Love it, I recommend it, and I will definitely be back. Thanks again Cake for saving the day and giving us and awesome cake that not only was the highlight of my daughter’s birthday celebration but it was a huge success with everyone and specially with the Birthday Girl.

Se acerba el cumpleaños de mi hija y para nosotros uno de los detalles principales para las celebraciones de cumpleaños de mi hija es el pastel. Desde el primer año que ordené su pastel para su cumpleaños me gusto tanto que decidí en hacerlo una tradición. No importa si la celebración es chica ó grande el pastel siempre será el centro de atención de su fiesta.
Y como cada año ya sabía en donde iba a ordernar el pastel porque la panadería, Hans and Harry’s Bakery, de Bonita, Ca ha sido el lugar que nos ha hecho los pasteles desde el primer año. Estaba muy emocionada de ir a la panadería y ordernar el pastel. Cuando llego a la panadería me dicen que ya no hacen pasteles personalizados. Me dijeron que el dueño decidió ya no hacerlos porque se tardaban mucho y por eso los descarto. Me quede muy decepcionada y a la vez un poco desconcertada porque ahora que iba hacer.
Es muy difícil encontrar una panadería donde no solo hacen bonitos pasteles pero que también estén buenos. Me puse investigar por Internet y buscando en Yelp otras panaderías para ver a donde iba ir ahora. Me decidí por Cake en Mission Hills San Diego y cuando llegué me recibieron muy bien. Yo llevaba una foto de la idea que quería para el pastel y me dijeron que si lo podían hacer y hasta mejor. Me dijeron que no me preocupara que ellos se iban a encargar de hacerlo bonito y especial para mi hija. Me hicieron sentir muy bien que supe que podía confiar en ellas.
Se llego el día y como yo estaba ocupada haciendo otras cosas en casa le pedí a mi esposo que si podía recoger el pastel. Mi hija y yo estábamos ansiosas por ver el pastel. Cuando llego mi esposo con el pastel nos quedamos con la boca abierta. A mi hija le brillaban los ojos de felicidad. Les quedo el pastel hermoso y hasta hicieron un Olaf de chocolate. También quiero mencionar que el pastel estaba delicioso. Cuando ví el pastel me di cuenta que por algo pasan las cosas tal vez ya era hora de cambiar de panaderías.
Quedamos muy satisfechos con el pastel, estaba riquísimo, nos dieron buen servicio y regresaremos otra vez. La tradición de tener un pastel hermoso y decorado del tema de la fiesta continuo y mi hija estuvo muy contenta. Gracias a Cake por su maravilloso trabajo. Se los recomiendo.
