Gina’s Piece Of Cake

Hit or miss.
Tasted a cake from this place and loved it so much that I had to order next two birthday cakes from this place. My family was disappointed both times because the cake was so dry. They can decorate the cake nice and pretty though.
Occasionally, we will buy some pastries there when we are at the mall but they are little bit over priced in my opinion.

We met with Joe from Gina’s Piece of Cake a few months before our wedding and loved his vibe. He was super friendly and accommodating. They were able to created the perfect cake with all the flavors we wanted to incorporate. They even delivered to our venue in San Luis Obispo. The cake was gorgeous and looked and tasted exactly how we had envisioned it.

Ordered my sons birthday cake (full sheet and smash cake) from here. We did a superhero theme. Ginas did a beautiful night city backdrop on the full sheet and superman (with a W instead of S for my sons name) on the smash cake. Not only did the cakes look beautiful but they were delicious. Appreciate the details that they spent on the cakes!

Love this place! I’ve ordered my sons birthday cake from them every year and they NEVER fail to disappoint, from their yummy taste to their amazing design!!! Such a friendly staff! The only reason I didn’t give Gina’s a five star rating is because they are a tad expensive but honestly it’s worth it for the flavor and knowing you are getting a beautiful cake!!!

Disappointed they no longer give mall employee discounts. I will go elsewhere were my loyalty is appreciated.

Best bakery in Santa Maria without question. Consistent, quality, amazing customer service. My personal favorite are the oatmeal coconut cookies and the chocolate dipped macaroons. Anytime we have to run an errand at the mall it goes without saying that we will be getting a treat from Gina’s. one of the ladies in particular remembers my kids by name and things I’ve previously shared. She treats us like family and is absolutely amazing!

Good cupcakes but the muffin and turnover I had were dry. Not good service either. I went in 30 min before closing and was told they had closed early and I couldn’t buy anything. Guess they don’t care about selling!

shouts out to my home girl, emily bertizzle! yaknowimsayin! she hooked it up with some bombass cupcakes! they was sick! and plus she’s kinda cool i guess. see ya soon, emizzle! bahahahahahaha

Love this family owned business, each pastry is made with perfection. pretty cool how as you walk in the mall entrance you can see the workers making each cake from scratch… def a must come to every time I’m in town from Los Angeles.

These guys did a GREAT job on our wedding cake! Everything was as promised. The cake was a hit and tasted fantastic! GREAT JOB!

Ordered about 6 various pastries and treats from the display case. Came to about $ 15. Not bad. Problem was, the treats tasted stale, were dry, and lacked in flavor. I am a sweets connoisseur, and these were among the worst I have ever had. Not to mention, we were given an incorrect item in our box. Pretty bad when everyone takes a bite of their completely different item and then exchanges glances with one another like… really? Not worth the money, or calories. we were thoroughly disappointed.

I just ordered a cake from Gina’s for a graduation party. It was beautiful and designed exactly how I had imagined. It was so delicious and I received so many compliments on it. I highly recommend Gina’s if you’re looking for a delicious specialty cake.

The cookies and cakes are always delicious. The display case is so tempting with new items, that I cannot walk away.

So yummy! Order my daughter a smash cake for her first birthday, and she absolutely loved it! It was a confetti cake with fresh banana filling The staff at Gina’s Piece of Cake are so helpful and super friendly! The cake was so adorable! I asked for something cute and girly, and I received just that!

What a crowd pleaser! Gina’s Piece of Cake is probably one of the best pastry shops in town, and I say pastry but, they have it all! Custom cakes, cookies, breads, strawberry shortcakes (one of my fav), cupcakes and the list go’s on and on.
I have ordered cakes for special occassions and never been disappointed. Stopping in for a treat is one of my other favorite options and I exercise that option at least 3 times a month.
Gina and her team are dedicated to excellence and have mastered the art of cake and keeping my tummy satisfied. Keep it up!
Cheers Unilocalers!

Bought a Chocolate with caramel butter cream filling birthday cake here while we were in town. It was fantastic and beautifully decorated. Everyone loved it and several people said, «it’s so sweet, but DELICIOUS,» and they were right. Although, I didn’t think it was «so» sweet. It’s cake. Cake has a ton of sugar, hence sweet. This place is great. Glad I found a great bakery in Santa Maria for future stops.

In Town to visit my dad… so me and my aunt stop by the mall to check out a store. When we entered through a side entrance… a window caught my eye ! It just so cute… they alow you to view the bakers preparing the pastries for the store. I seen a young lady making some type of strawbetter preserves in the middle. Another Patry chef… was decorating a cake. I could tell they are have training to do this type of work. They just look so extraordinary how percises how they prepare and decorate the items.
Then I seen they opened !! Oh my how I could not stop my self from trying one of these items… as I glanced in the window at all the items I had to choose from I seen a small little upsidedown cake ! I knew that had my name all over it.
As I expected it was moist, delicious, and sweet with the cherry on top !!
Gina’s Piece Of Cake has a very hold school bakery feel that I just love. The pastries are excellent. I must say how could you not just stop in and try one of these delightful items.

Their cakes are delicious and beautiful but I am tired of dealing with the unpleasant counter help they hire. I’m taking off stars not for their food but for their employees.
Today I stood at the counter waiting to ask a question. The girl was in the back room looked at me once and didn’t say anything, couple minutes later she looked at me again and gave me a look like, «Argh, you’re still here.» Then I left.
If they hired someone with a customer service background and a pleasant personality I bet they would get more repeat customers. I refuse to be treated like a nuisance and will go elsewhere for my cakes from now on.

They serve coffee with free refills now. It’s good coffee. What’s wrong with them? They still mix the very old cakes and pastries in with the very new cakes and pastries. You never know what you’re going to get until you bite into it and either find yourself in heaven or wanting your fucking dollar back.
Not cool. Quality control is an order. I understand not everything can be super freshly baked but really, get rid of the super old sweets. It just throws everything off and it makes people like me dodgy to try anything at all, no matter how pretty it looks on the outside.

I really couldn’t be happier with my daughter’s 1^st birthday cake! I uploaded a picture for everyone to see on Unilocal!I met with one of the employees two weeks prior to her party to place an order. I just showed the lady the picture on my iPhone, and she wrote the most precise description since the cake almost looked exactly like the picture. They went perfectly with the Minnie Mouse theme.
The cake was amazing! We ordered 12 strawberry cupcakes with cream cheese frosting and 12 chocolate cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. They meticulously designed a Minnie Mouse silhouette head on each cupcake. The main cake was 10″ and it was so good! A marble cake with fresh strawberrry filling!
I was busy prepping for the party, but my husband and brother in law picked up the cake without a problem! I’m glad there was two of them because unfortunately, they didn’t have a box big enough for the big cake with «ears» so he had to hold it on the way home. But I literally squealled when I saw the cake and cupcakes. I couldn’t be happier! Thank you so much, Gina’s Piece of Cake for making my daughter’s 1^st birthday a memorable one! Everyone loved the cake, especially the little one!
