I have used Plumeria for years for various events (birthdays, holidays, memorial services, etc.) and every time the baked goods that I order are excellent. Jennifer, the owner, is a very talented designer and she never fails to exceed my expectations. My favorite are her sugar cookies, which are addictive. Regardless of the occasion she always designs something delightful!

We used Plumeria Cake Studio for our daughter's wedding and it was the most beautiful wedding cake our guests had ever seen! It was so beautifully decorated and tasted so good! My daughter and her new husband absolutely loved it! Thank you for making our daughter's wedding special with this beautiful cake!

Extremely disappointed with the product. My cake felt like a complete afterthought that was put together at the very last minute. They poorly brushed a stencil on my cake and called it a day. We agreed upon a cake design (of a cake that they made in the past for another client) and it came out completely different. When confronted about it they said they do their best to make it close to the inspo. as possible. Let me repeat, the inspo was from a cake that they already did. I was so disappointed and upset when I saw that cake at my wedding. We as brides pay so much money to wedding vendors so when I saw such poor quality in my cake I felt taken advantage of. I don’t see how someone can put that together and think it was acceptable to send out. I do not recommend. I appreciate the refund on the cake top but it’s just NOT okay to treat a clients product so poorly.

We can't say enough good things about Plumeria Cake Studio! From the initial consultation to the moment we cut into our wedding cake, the entire experience was exceptional. The cake tasting was an event in itself – the flavors were out of this world! It's not an exaggeration to say that Plumeria's cakes are in a class of their own. They were so delicious, moist, and flavorful, unlike any wedding cake we've ever had.Beyond the taste, the cake was also a work of art. The owner listened intently to our vision and ensured that every detail, from the design to the flavors, was exactly as we wanted it. They truly brought our dream cake to life.And to top it all off, the delivery was flawless and right on schedule. Plumeria Cake Studio provided a stress-free and truly enjoyable experience. If you're looking for a wedding cake that not only tastes amazing but also looks stunning and perfectly reflects your style, we wholeheartedly recommend Plumeria Cake Studio!

Plumeria Cake Studio provided our delicious wedding cake. Plumeria was recommended to my husband and I by our wedding planner. We had tried several other wedding cake’s but Plumeria’s was hands down the tastiest. We met with Jennifer and she let us try several different flavors including an extra flavor which we ended up picking as a second flavor in our cake! I’m not a big cake person but I really enjoyed their cake! Our cake was exactly what we wanted and guests loved having the option of two different flavors. Thank you Jennifer with Plumeria Cake Studio for making our wedding cake so delicious and beautiful!
