Eccentric International Chefs

This bakery is awesome! They were suggested to me by several friends and then I also met them at the Bridal Bazaar and tasted a couple of samples.

We went in for our tasting and everything was amazing! They were so easy to work with, they let us make payments (we were on a strict budget), and they let us make changes whenever we wanted. The cake was just as awesome the day of our wedding as it was at the tasting. And the cake turned out beautiful, we wanted something simple and sophisticated, and it was the cake of my dreams! Everyone there is friendly and I felt like I was dealing with friends rather than a business. I have already recommended them to everyone I know! I suggest checking them out at the bridal bazaars because they give you a 30% off coupon. My cake cost around $350 and served over 100 guests, and my whole top tier was left over!

This was one of my favorite vendors! iI was on a very tight budget and needed to keep the cost low on my cup cakes. They worked with me on cost and gave me everything that I wanted. I even called in about a week or two befor the wedding and almost doubled my order and they were ok with it! I was always greated with a smile and the cupcakes were fantastic!!!!!!

The cakes here are DELICIOUS!!! I found them through one of the huge bridal showcases. Both Melina and Carl are very friendly and will sit and work out a design that you would like. It was hard to communicate via email, so the best is to call them.
My husband and I did not save the top piece of our wedding cake, it was way to delicious to do so. We'll just buy a mini cake from them when our 1-year anniversary comes around.

LOVED using Eccentric International for our wedding cake! My cake was gorgeous, and tasted amazing. I loved the cake tasting, this place really cares about their customers. It wasn't busy and crowded like some other bakeries we visited, and I felt like we really got the attention we needed to feel comfortable ordering our cake. We had help with the design, and it was even drawn up for us to see.

Not sure if it was because we had our reception at Karl Strauss and Eccentric was one of their vendors, but we only had 4-5 cake options. Other bakeries did offer us more flavors. Still, the flavors we did choose were the best! The raspberry/lemon sold me and helped make my decision. I'll definitely be back to order a cake for our first anniversary (because no way was I freezing our top, we ate it all!)

We bought our wedding cake from Eccentric International Cakes and we were pleased with the cake. When we booked a cake tasting they only had 7am on a Saturday available, which was strange to me. When we showed up, they were surprised we showed, which I found odd. The tasting was delicious and we got a two tier strawberry and bavarian cream with buttercream frosting. My biggest complaint is that they showed up too close to the ceremony. We had to call to ask where they were and stressed out me, my mother-in-law and my florist who was waiting for them to show. The price seemed pretty good and it tasted really great! My reception hall didn't serve our cake to anyone else, so I was bummed no one else got to try it.

After a few cake tasting appointments at the expensive bakeries we decided to give Eccentric a shot. SO glad we did! their cakes taste amazing! They were VERY helpful, willing to work on a budget and use our design that we created by looking thru their books. We will be using them for all our cake needs from here on out...wedding referrals, birthdays, showers, etc.

Melina and Carl of Eccentric International Chefs of Santee ade the most delicious cake I have ever tasted. This was one of the most important things to me, to make sure we had good wedding cake and that it was beautiful. We got a 4 tier, with 4 different flavors. I got the best compliments about the cake. I tried at least 8 vendors before deciding that Eccentric had both the best tasting cakes AND were the best price which I thought would be impossible to find! Their shop is nothing to brag about, in a not so great neighborhood, but the drive was WELL worth it! They delivered it to the venue without any problems and we reused flowers from the ceremony to put on the cake to finish it off. It was beautiful and delish!

Yum! The best wedding cake I've ever tasted and the best price!! I took them a picture of the wedding cake I wanted, and they were able to create it.

Excellent value for the price - really helped our budget. Very friendly, family-owned business. Melina & Carl helped us a lot. Delicious cake!

My cake was delicious and beautiful. It was exactly what I asked for and more. The owners are very professional and extremely helpful. I received a coupon from the Bridal Bazaar and that helped bring the price to something a couldn't pass up. They were great! I used them for our day-of lunch as well so we would have food to snack on while getting ready.

Even though it's a little difficult to reach them over email - just phone in, and you're taken care of in a heartbeat. The cake tasted amazing!!! We provided a photo of what we wanted the cake to look like, and it didn't look much like the photo, however, it still looked decent. In the end, you just can't beat the taste. We got so many questions about where we got our cake, because it was just that good! Light, fluffy, and perfectly sweet. YUM!

A cake by Eccentric was included with my wedding package at Karl Strauss. Melina and Carl were wonderful to work with, but the cake wasn't what I pictured. It looked okay, but the decorations were more sparse than in the sketch. I would recommend buttercream frosting over fondant...the fondant on my cake had a lot of bubbles.

Our wedding cake was perfect. Eccentric International was the perfect place to get our cake. Not only did it taste wonderful, but it looked fantastic and was very resonably priced. It is a family owned company and they are extremely friendly and helpful whenever you need them. I would highly recommend them for your wedding cake.

Most delicious and affordable cakes in San Diego County! And I've tasted a lot of cakes. Our guest also raved about it.

Cake was delicious. A friend of mine had asked where we got our cake and I told her that we got it at Eccentric International Chef and she said it was really good. A lot of the guests at our wedding enjoyed the cake. I recommend this cake place to anyone having a wedding or special party that calls for great and delicious cake.

I love this bakery. They have great, tasty cakes and are really friendly and easy to work with. However, do not be stupid, like me, and pick a chocolate ganache icing for an outdoor, October wedding. The cake was kept indoors until the start of the reception but that did not keep it from melting. The chocolate started to drip down the sides and the cake looked like it might topple over. But we cut it pretty soon after the start of the reception, so it was ok. The cake still tasted delicious.

We met Carl at the Bridal Bizaare. We had the most incredible cake samples on the planet! We ordered a Valentine’s Day cake there in February 2008 too. We had a beautiful lavender and white cake for our wedding. It was chocolate raspberry with Bavarian crème.

They were helpful in designing just what I envisioned and the cake was delicious.
