    I cannot eat dairy, and was nervous that for my wedding day I would just not be eating my own cake. However, we found sensitive sweets and it was life changing! They made us the most incredible wedding cake, and a bunch of mini cupcakes for our guest. Everyone LOVED it. No one would have even guessed that it was vegan. I am so thankful that Sensitive Sweets saved the day. Melanie was prompt in responding to us, and the cake arrived right when she promised. Thank you, Melanie!

    I needed custom Harry Potter cookies for a friends birthday that were GF, dairy free, egg free, and nut free. Let’s all just take a moment to admire the artistry of these cookies!! I am so so happy with my order, I will be back. I live in PA so the cookies were shipped to me. I was a little nervous that they wouldn’t make it in one piece but they absolutely did!! My over all experience was fantastic, I plan on purchasing more custom cookie orders from Sensitive Sweets!

    I'm allergic to dairy, eggs, wheat, soy, nuts, and many other foods due to a medical condition. We were searching if there was any way for me to have a wedding cake, and it was unbelievable to find that at Sensitive Sweets it wouldn't even require any substitutions or special instructions! We started by ordering a tasting box, and it was my first time trying almost all of those flavors. We decided to go with the midnight chocolate cake (dark chocolate and chocolate chips) with vanilla filling and mocha frosting. Mocha. Is. Amazing. We picked the cherry blossom design and it was stunning! We got so many compliments on the design and flavor, people who didn't have any dietary restrictions were shocked it wasn't a normal cake. It was literally the most delicious thing I've ever had!

    I ordered plain gingerbread men shape cookies and a gingerbread house kit. I got the order few days before Thanksgiving day. The cookies plain are delicious, and the gingerbread house my family put it together after the Thanksgiving meal today. It was such a treat to have family time together to build the gingerbread house and have everything provided in the kit. We place the gingerbread house in the center of our dinning room table and will use it as a decoration for Christmas Day. Thank you Sensitive Sweets Bakery for helping us build our family memories.

    This place has zero customer service skills. I placed a shipment order that never got delivered to the recipient for her birthday. When I requested a refund, Sensitive Sweets’ response is that they don’t issue refunds for lost or missing packages, but yet they will issue a store credit to anyone who claims to not like the taste of their products. I have never dealt with a business such as this one that doesn’t understand the importance of providing top tier customer service. One star is actually a higher review than I would give due to my experience.

    Our wedding cake was amazing and tasted delicious! The colors matched perfectly and the design went so well with our theme we couldn’t have been happier! We will definitely be returning for our baked needs and can’t wait to see what other beautiful cakes Sensitive Sweets can whip up! We also got the donut holes for an alternative dessert and they were a hit! Thank you so much for making our wedding cake perfectly!

    Just a quick update on my previous review: I am officially married, and my wedding cake was outstanding! I opted for a simple cake and added my own topper/flowers. My family of gluten and dairy consumers devoured it! Everyone commented on how delicious the cake was. Sensitive Sweets, once again, made my day ♥️ I am allergic to gluten and dairy, which usually means dessert is not an option for me unless I make it myself. Sensitive Sweets has been a godsend. The staff is always friendly and the desserts are INCREDIBLE. My friends and family can't even tell their desserts are allergen-free. My fiance and I are in the process of ordering our wedding cake from Sensitive Sweets. I'll be sure to update my review and share photos once it is complete. I know it'll be amazing ♥️

    First time in a long time writing for somewhere I really didn’t like. The location and shop were great. The presentation and interior were fabulous. The gluten-free baked treats were not good. I mean they tasted odd flavor wise, gummy, flavorless, and unlike any gluten free baked good I’ve had before, they had an aftertaste.My daughter who also has celiac disease, agreed with my evaluation. It’s sad because I really wanted to like this place but it’s the first time that I really felt it was a waste of money. We couldn’t get passed the first bites in all that we bought. You decide.

    As someone with a dietary sensitivity to many foods, my husband was unable to eat the wedding cake we had picked out for all of our guests to enjoy. So we decided to also get a groom's cake so he could enjoy some tasty dessert too! Fortunately, Sensitive Sweets had our backs. They were able to accommodate his needs with this low-FODMAP cake. We had a video game theme to our wedding, so he asked them to design it with a Legend of Zelda theme. It both looked and tasted amazing! We've gone back many times for their other tasty treats.

    Come here if you really need a dessert fix while dealing with allergies or celiac/gluten intolerance, have a special occasion for a customized dessert, or like very sweet desserts. I -do not- like very sugary frostings or desserts. I got a few cookies and knew they would be sugarbombs, but I had a craving, so whatever. Their cookies had a gummy texture, as if they needed to be baked more. The apricot jam in the thumbprint cookie had almost no flavour, it did have a hint, but my tastebuds were dulled by all the sugar. I got the crown jewel, in my eyes, the lemon raspberry swirl. The lemon cake was great! Soft, it rolled, and the flavour was actually really enjoyable. The filling and frosting on top was very disappointing and sickly sweet. I scraped it off along with the raspberry filling. My favourite raspberry element to the spiral were the actual raspberries on top... The experience is great, though. A place where you can have anything you want and has such wide variety! It is so joyous and freeing after having your diet has been limited severely by a chronic illness... It was worth the $17, just not in the flavour category.

    I ordered a vegan cake for my son’s first birthday and they did a wonderful job! Cake looked and tasted great!

    I just wanted to take a moment to say this is THE BEST allergy sensitive bakery I have ever been to. My daughter can't eat gluten or dairy. She always feels so deprived and is sad to miss out on the sweets that her brothers and friends get but when she gets to sensitive sweets her eyes glow with excitement. And normally my other kids hate my daughters allergy foods but sensitive sweets is the exception. Their treats taste DELICIOUS. You would never know they were allergy sensitive. And they have so much variety. Sensitive sweets deserves MORE than 5 stars!

    I'm going to be honest, I was pretty disappointed by this cake. I knew it would be small, but I paid about $35 for a 4x4 cake for my birthday that I wouldn't purchase again. The consistency was odd and the flavors were muted at best. The texture seemed like it was more chunky fruit leather than cake. It's on me because I'm just vegan and was looking for a birthday treat without eggs or dairy and I should have gone to a place that used other ingredients, but I wouldn't recommend this place for a vegan cake.

    We had a special trip to Disneyland for my wife’s 40th birthday and I used Sensitive Sweets, because my son has a severe peanut and tree nut allergy. Not only was the cake very tasty, it was also very beautiful and customized perfectly…not to mention safe for everyone! Highly recommend!

    Just discovered Sensitive Sweets. I bought a loaf of white bread, a sugar cookie, and a few vanilla cake pops. Each was delicious so I don't understand the few negative reviews. I did have to nuke the sugar cookie a little so it wasn't hard but after it tasted delicious. The white bread wasn't dense like the gf bread at the store. I'm so happy I found this store and grateful it exists. I hope it NEVER closes.

    So happy to have found this place. Excellent customer service. We especially enjoyed the donuts and cupcakes. Those with and without allergies enjoyed the treats. It was wonderful for no one to be left out. Flavor was downright dreamy.

    I have a kid who has many food sensitivities. It’s honestly sad that you can’t just go to a store and and find gluten free/egg free/dairy free gingerbread houses. I assume the idea of “gluten free” hasn’t made it’s way to the holidays. However, I asked around and someone had suggested Sensitive Sweets. I don’t live in California, but I loved that some of their items are offered with shipping! I also ordered in December thinking it would take forever to get here, but the gingerbread house kits I ordered arrived a lot sooner than I had thought! Thank you Sensitive Sweets for offering a gingerbread house so that my son can experience building a house instead of having to just “sit on the side” while other kids get to make one. The kit came with the house, the frosting ingredients pre packed (very easy to mix the frosting and follow the directions), and a few small essentials (trees, snowman, candy cane, etc. plastic pieces for the home)! The directions came with the kit as well to help us build it. We all loved it and enjoyed it together as a family. I will definitely order from here again!

    10/10 the cake was amazing and what’s better is my 1 year old got to enjoy his smash cake without me worrying if he was going to be affected by allergens in the ingredients! As long as I live in California I will make the drive every year to pickup my sons birthday cake here! So thankful I got his cake here and the crew was so kind and extra careful about cross contamination!

    I just wanted to thank you and your team for the wonderful experience we had with our granddaughter this weekend. She is highly allergic to eggs (anaphylactic reaction) and while for years we have been trying to come up with recipes for her. Unfortunately, we have been unsuccessful with a recipe for a gingerbread house for her. I was so excited to find your website and find your gingerbread house was egg free. She told all her young friends and teacher about getting a gingerbread house this past week and how her house was coming all the way from California. It was delivered completely intact. Thank you for the great experience and another memory with her.
