am a classically trained chef who’s worked in this industry for 20+ years at local restaurants, catering companies and now a personal chef. It’s been great to embrace the creativity and excitement of working with private clients. There’s nothing I enjoy more than sitting down to design a menu custom-tailored to your tastes based on what’s in season and what looks best at the market. I’m trained in California cooking with lots of experience in vegan/gluten free/keto menu design. My mission is to create delicious, seasonal, restaurant quality meals and help you to enjoy them in the most stress free way possible.

Giving clients what they ask for but exceeding their expectations. I have a "Fresh is best", attitude towards cooking. I source locally. I want you to enjoy an experience and memorable meal. I work hard to do all of the above, as if you were family. My family. Cooking wasn't always a passion. As I matured and realized the techniques I have gathered over the years were taught to me by people that were and are special to me and they taught me from love and or respect for my thirst for knowledge. The looks on people's face after they try one of the dishes I've prepared is priceless. I've found ways to make people like foods they never thought t

Your cake making services questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Fash.

How much do custom cakes cost?

A custom cake costs $70 to $400 on average, depending on which design, flavor, and size you choose. Larger, complex cakes with 3 or more tiers cost $200 to $800 or more. 

Custom cakes are an excellent way to make special memories during a birthday party, anniversary celebration, or other event.

Does Costco do custom cakes?

You can order a custom design on a cake from Costco, but ther choices are extremely limited. Depending on the location, the bakery may only be able to write a few words in frosting or put a simple buttercream image like balloons or a cactus.

However, the following locations have more options for custom designs:

  • Walmart 
  • Publix
  • HEB
  • Baskin Robbins
  • Sam's Club
  • Whole foods
  • Safeway
  • Albertson's
  • Tour Les Jours

How far in advance should I order a custom cake?

You should order a custom cake at least 1 to 4 weeks before your celebration. The exact timeline for ordering a custom cake will depend on how popular the bakery is, whether it's a busy season, and how much staff they have.

Can I return a custom cake?

No, you typically can't retuan a cake once they hand it over to you for food safety reasons. However, some bakeries will offer a partial or full refund if there's something wrong with the cake.

How do I choose a custom cake maker?

You can find a great cake maker by following these steps:

  • Compare prices from at least three local bakeries or stores.
  • Read reviews specifically for custom cake makers on Fash and Google.
  • Look at pictures of their cakes from other customers.
  • Make sure they're able to make the cake by the time you need it.
  • Get a detailed quote in writing.

What questions should I ask cake makers?

Asking these questions can help you find a high-quality cake maker:

  • How long have you been making or decorating cakes?
  • Can you make the cake I want by this date?
  • Is this price for naked cakes or frosted cakes?
  • How large of a cake would you recommend?
  • What type of frosting and fillings do you have?
  • Can you print edible pictures on the cake?
  • Do you have a minimum price or fee?
  • Can I see pictures of cakes you've done with a similar design?
  • Do you make smash cakes? How mcuh do those cost?
  • Do you make sheet cakes? How big are they?

Reviews for San Francisco cake makers & decorators

Do you appreciate incredible food, presentation, and service? Then Duane's Catering is your place. I recently had the pleasure of attending a family and friend gathering that totaled around 40 people. What a treat! These guys worked really hard to impress us. I don’t think their team could have done a better job, and was such an essential component of our friends and family event. Friends and family returned the next day to search for leftovers. We went with the Plated / Buffet to make life easy and everyone walked away full, happy, and satisfied. The 3-course meal was incredible, I started with the Gnocchi, had the Seared Ahi Tuna Salad, and had the Red Wine Braised Short Ribs for my entree. The whole group was very pleased, raving about how incredible the food was, and would strongly recommend it. The experience was beyond my expectations.
