Sugar Butter Flour

left is real cake and right is my original design. Little deviated from my design and lost the cute feel. Also two sweet for me. And charges $155 for 8 inch while a regular 8 inch cake in their store costs $60. This cake only has a special monster on it which costs $95 additional bucks

The individual cakes still looked amazing but not every one is a home run. - The Chocolate Opera is still as good as the it was the first time - The Guava Mousse is delicious from top to bottom, both layers of cake and guava mousse. This may be my new favorite. - The Hazelnut Chocolate Napoleon was pretty good but the bottom layer of vanilla sponge cake was a bit stale. If you like Ferrero Rocher, you'll enjoy this. - The Mango Raspberry Mousse wasn't bad. The layer of vanilla cake was good, the raspberry mousse was sour and the mango mousse was good but the mango flavor wasn't strong. - The Lemon Cheesecake is just a regular thick cheesecake with a lemon coating on top --- The individual cakes looked amazing but they weren't that good. - I've had better Tiramisu for a lower price. Fancier does not mean better. - The Chocolate Opera was delicious and my favorite. I enjoyed the coffee flavor on this a lot more than I did the Tiramisu. The chocolate ganache is dark chocolate so it is a bit bitter. - The Green Tea Cheesecake tasted like regular cheesecake and is dense. - The Chocolate Truffle Cake wasn't bad but wasn't great. - The Turtle Cheesecake was super sweet so if you have a sweet tooth, this is for you. It is a dense piece of cheesecake.

I ordered a strawberry shortcake. The cake was just alright. Nothing special. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't very good. Just a mediocre cake. The one thing that was good about this cake: the cake wasn't very sweet. Next time I won't buy cakes here. I think this cake isn't worth the money I paid for it.

I've been ordering cakes here for birthdays for many years now. Off late quality and customer service have gone downhill. Most recently, I ordered a quarter sheet cake which I was supposed to be chocolate but they made vanilla. My daughter was so sad when she cut the cake. It was also very sweet and most kids at the party refused to eat it. The colors on the cake were also nothing like the image I shared. When I emailed the store, they didn't even bother replying. I'll be finding another place for expensive birthday cakes.

I had read several reviews about the burnt almond cake at Sugar Butter Flour so I decided to stop by when I was in the area. The pastry case was full of all kinds of pastries that ranged from small individual servings and full sized cakes. I got an individual size burnt almond cake and yule log. The burn almond cake is a vanilla and chocolate cake with amaretto custard filling and topped with whipped cream and almonds. The yule log was chocolate cake with a custard filling and chocolate ganache icing. Overall, I was underwhelmed with the desserts. The burnt almond cake just tasted like almond extract and the yule log wasn't anything special. Based on these two desserts, I likely wouldn't return to the Sugar Butter Flour.

update: ordered a custom cake for a work event and it did not only turn out perfect but also tasted amazing!! My favorite bakery in the sf bay area! Everything tastes so amazing and looks so pretty! Never been disappointed. I'd recommend to definitely try the burnt almond. Also tried the double cheese cake for the first time yesterday (recommended by the person working there) and while I'm not a fan of cheese cakes, it was delicious and I'll definitely get it again.

😔 Disappointing Taste and Service 😔 While I was excited to try this new French-inspired bakery, I left feeling quite disappointed. 😞 🥐 Taste: The pastries, while visually appealing, lacked the delicate flavors and textures I expect from authentic French baking. 😕 It seems they're trying to emulate the French style, but many crucial details are missing. 🤷‍♀️ 👩‍🍳 Service: Unfortunately, the service was equally underwhelming. The cashier seemed impatient and more interested in rushing me through the line than providing attentive service. 😒 It felt like they were prioritizing getting to other customers rather than ensuring I had a positive experience. 😓 Overall, this bakery fell short of my expectations. I wouldn't recommend it, especially if you're looking for an authentic French pastry experience. 😕 Perhaps with some improvements to the recipes and a greater focus on customer service, they could turn things around. 🤔 #disappointed # bakery #frenchpastry #badservice #underwhelming

Very disappointed and would not come back, won’t recommend. Ordered a custom birthday cake for my wife. Wanted the same as their “Vanilla Strawberry and Cream” cake, but with raspberries instead, and extra raspberries. 1- miscommunication in the email exchange to confirm my order. When I phoned the day before the birthday to make sure everything was alright they had forgotten about my order. Luckily I called early enough so they could still make the cake on time. 2- not according to what I ordered. I asked for extra raspberries in the cake, the quantity in the cake was actually barely normal. The icing is also buttercream based, nothing like the “Vanilla Strawberry and Creme” base cake we wanted, no white chocolate / whipped cream icing. See photo. I paid 80$ for a small modification to one of their cakes (change strawberry to raspberry, ask for more raspberry) and feel ripped off given the bad icing and small amount of raspberries. Note that 80$ is 30$ extra compared to the base strawberry cake. Downgraded from 2 to 1 star has merchant did not engage to make up for the poor service.
