Cake & Candy Specialties

So I ordered this gore makeup cake, and it came out absolutely perfect as you can tell. It exceeded my expectations. The maker of the cake (I forget her name) sounded pretty repulsed when I told her about the teeth, but she did it. That’s what matters lol. Because this cake looks sick. And when I said I was going to tip her 40 $, she refused and settled for a 20 $ tip. This is DEFINITELY the place to get a custom cake. You can google, draw and make up anything you want and she’s totally capable of crafting it. The shop isn’t in a bad neighborhood. There’s also tons of cake supplies in the shop, so you can get stuff here to add special touches to a cake you want to create at home.

This review is long overdue, but I wanted to make sure I took the time to post just how wonderful of a bakery Cake & Candy Specialties is! I wanted to surprise my mom for her 60^th birthday upon her return from vacation and Cake & Candy Specialties helped me achieve this goal. My mom has been collecting cow figurines for years, so I wanted a cute cow cake that would make her day special. Since I was surprising her after a trip at Disneyland, C & C Specialties incorporated this and added little Minnie Mouse ears to the cow figure. They also had a marble cake that was perfect to emulate the cow design on the outside. To top it all off, my mom said it was the most delicious cake she’d ever had, loving the surprise of marshmallow underneath the fondant.
Kudos to Cake & Candy Specialties for not only crafting an adorable cake that tasted amazing, but for also being incredibly customer friendly and affordable. Highly recommended.

Got beautiful minecraft cake for my 6years old daughter birthday. Thank you for your great creative and beautiful cake. Definitely recommended to anyone who looking for best cake.

I found this shop when I was looking for frog shaped candy molds for my son’s Harry Potter themed party. Loved the cakes that I saw there and decided THIS is where I will order my cakes from now on. They are works of art! So for my daughter’s birthday, she wanted a Pokemon cake. It was beautiful and delicious. Loved the chocolate mousse filling. Will continue to shop here for all our decorated cakes.

Thank you Waldi for the wonderful job you did on my moms birthday cake! You have a great deal of patience and I value that you were able to work with me via phone since I am not in the area to bring my scattered ideas for a cake to life and it was the perfect addition to my moms birthday dinner party. Everyone especially loved the carrot cake and cupcakes. We look forward to working with you again and would highly recommend your company for any event! Continued success on your business!

This place just made the most incredible cakes. Pokemon and soccer. Two very excited 8 year olds. Thank you!

I’ve been going here for several years and have never been disappointed.

After calling several cake designers in the Sacramento area, I was fortunate to find Cake & Candy Specialties. Waldi was so wonderful to work with, she understood exactly what I wanted for my daughters baby shower cake. I love that her shop is small and very personal. Waldi only does a certain number of cakes each week so I felt confident that she would give my cake the proper time and attention. And to top it off, the cake price was much more affordable than all the overpriced designers I talked to previously.
The cake turned out absolutely amazing both with the way it looked and the way it tasted! It was such a big hit… everyone wanted it in their pictures with the mommy-​to be.
Thank you so much Cake & Candy Specialties for making our special day perfect!
Waldi, see you next year for the babies first birthday cake!

My only experience here was with purchasing pre-​made boston cream pie filling. Disgusting. Drove all the way from Rocklin, and ended up throwing out the filling. Chemical after taste was very strong. Won’t purchase that again!

This is the 2^nd time I have used this bakery for my custom cake order. I wanted a 2 tier Dora the Explorer cake for my goddaughter 3^rd birthday. I didn’t want fondant characters so I supplied the cake toppers but I showed Waldi a picture of how I wanted the cake and she exceeded my expectations. The cake was absolutely beautiful as well as delicious.

Cake & candy is our go-​to bakery for cakes/​cupcakes! We recently ordered a sprinkle inspired birthday cake and cupcakes for our daughter’s 2^nd birthday and they turned out beautiful and tasted delicious! Thank you Cake & candy!

Waldi did such a great job on my son’s Minecraft themed cake. Not only did it look good but it tasted great. Everyone loved it.

They are the best! In the chaos of planning my sons Birthday party and having family over, I totally forgot to pick my order up. They called me but I missed their call. Saturday night when I realized I forgot, I was crying hysterically and my husband and I frantically googled stalked them and sent them a Facebook message, they came in on their day off at 8am to save me! Can’t believe I did that and am so thankful they did what they did. And the cake and cupcakes were amazing, everyone loved it! Will definitely use then again– always!!!

Thank you so Much candy cakes Specialties For an awesome Elsa cake for My Babygirls 4^th Frozen Birthday Party. Juliana and Everyone loved it.
This is my second cakes order from you guys and I haven’t been disappointed.

I always buy my baking supplies from here and they have us a fabulous cake tasting for our engagement party cake. We went with a lemon cake with strawberry filing and we wanted cats as the bride and groom :) we emailed them a picture and when we picked it up the cake didn’t disappoint!!! It was perfect perfect perfect!!! And it tasted delicious everyone loved the way it looked and how great it tasted and the price!!! Was the cherry on top! What a deal! All our cakes will be coming from here!!! Thank you guys for making our engagement party wonderful!

From start to finish Waldi was exceptional. We only had ²¹⁄₂ months to get our wedding planned with the brother n’ law’s leave from the military the only way for him to make it to our wedding. Waldi and her husband are very down to earth. She asks all the right questions and makes sure that you don’t make any possible bad decisions on design. Let’s face it, the many years of experience should speak for something. Trust her and your cake will be not only beautiful but delicious.
Because the only cake I got to eat was the cake smashed in my face, I asked all of our guest how it was and they ALL said IT WAS DELICIOUS.
I already found a new bride for ya Waldi!!!
My flower girl’s 8 year old big sister was asked what kind of cake she wanted for her birthday next week and she said, «A wedding cake!» LOL
*Great customer service
*Knowledgeable and experienced
*Reasonably priced
*DELICIOUS & BEAUTIFUL
*Accommodating

Just got a cake for my daughter’s 16^th birthday. The cake was absolutely gorgeous. My very picky daughter loved it. The staff here was fantastic. They were very helpful, friendly and easy to work with. They even carried the cake out to the car for me! Did I mention it also tasted delicious.
I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a specialty cake. They make every effort to do their best.

My husband suggested we take a look as Cake & Candy as he remembered the location from 10+ years ago. We procrastinated on ordering a wedding cake ceremony (how unlike me!), and we headed to Cake & Candy to see what they might be able to offer. We order exactly a week from our ceremony, were a walk-​in customer and given samples immediately to taste, looked through photos and locked and loaded our selections.
The cake was a round 9″ textured buttercream frosting yellow cake with lemon filling and OH MAN was it delicious!
David was very easy to work with and accommodating of our needs. We’ll definitely be back for future cake orders.

We had Cake and Candy Specialities do our wedding cake and it turned out amazing. Our caterer had paired up with Waldi before and it was a fantastic recommendation. We planned our wedding from London and Waldi was nothing but easy to work with. She helped to accommodate the tasting and we loved the flavour profiles. The pink champagne cake with raspberry filling was a huge hit.
We had asked Waldi to decorate the cake with leaves (we had an autumn wedding) and I could find something that I liked from a picture, after explaining to her what we wanted she exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend them for any of your cake needs not only did the cake look beautiful it tasted amazing too

I’ve just read the other reviews and mine differs because we did not order a cake from David & Waldi, but after reading and seeing the pictures I definitely will next time!
My daughter is a perfectionist when it comes to baking and found this store when searching for high-​quality supplies. It has become her go-​to because of price and selection.
Today, these wonderful people gave us an entirely new reason to think they’re the greatest! At the last minute, my daughter decided to make St. Patrick’s Day themed cookies for a party tomorrow.
Not realizing that Cake and Candy Specialties was closed on Sunday, we drove over there and arrived just as David came walking out and locked the door. We asked if they were closed and he said they were, but he very graciously unlocked the door and let us in to buy the food coloring and Shamrock cookie cutter needed. Waldi even brought cutters from the back so we could find a Shamrock!
Thank you for being awesome humans as well as obviously very creative and talented bakers!
