PATISSERIE ANGELICA

Condra created the most amazing Groom's cake for us! I wanted her to create a cake using the three labels from my husband's wine company. We were getting down to the wire and I still had many items on my to-do list, so I gave Condra very little instruction. I simply sent her the labels and told her to create a cake with wine bottles. She took the little help I gave her and created a masterpiece! The cake was beyond my wildest dreams! It was so realistic looking that people kept touching the wine labels, because they couldn't believe it was a cake. I am pretty sure this cake was the most photographed item at our wedding and we have received so many comments about how everyone loved it! And, the cake was delicious to boot! Condra is a dream to work with and will exceed your expectations!

They did a wonderful job!!! They took the time to sketch our idea of a wedding cake and then create our dream cake it was soooo beautiful!!! looked like it belonged in a magazine!!

This bakery is amazing! Their cake tasting was a lot of fun, and they helped us design our cake, as we had no idea what we were doing. They promptly answered any questions that I had during this process, and delivered an absolutely beautiful cake on the day of. The process was smooth, the cake was delicious, and everyone was happy. I had them make cookies for my wedding favors too, and everyone loved them. There is a reason why Patisserie Angelica has such an amazing reputation!

Having worked with Patisserie Angelica many times in the past, it was a no brainer to use them for my wedding cake. Not only are their cakes amazingly delicious, but they truly are artwork. Our tasting was private and very personal, my husband was blown away by how incredible everything tasted. They were easy to get a hold of during the planning process and even accomodated when I had a change of heart and wanted to change the design of my cake. The cake was better than I could have hoped and when that was all we had in our fridge when we returned home from our honeymoon, it was still just as tasty as on our wedding night. Patisserie Angelica is AMAZING!!!

Patisserie Angelica has the most delicous cakes. And to top it off they are gorgeous! Our wedding cakes were more than we could have ever imagined.

My husband used to work at Patisserie when he was younger. He already knew that our cake would be the best around. He wanted no one else but Condra and Debbie to make our cake. I made minor change to my cake days before the wedding and it was no problem :) cake turned out gorgeous and the cake was so moist and to die for. My guests and staff at the place I got married tried it and loved it!! These ladies are awesome! ! Highly recommend

Condra and her team are EXTREMELY artistic and talented! Condra listened to the ideas we had and exceeded our expectations of our cake!Even with me changing the idea around a few times, she was very patient and flexible. I also ordered the groom's cake from PA, and they blew everyone out of the water, not only with the design, but the flavor! MUST HAVE: Beet cake!!Highly, highly recommend them!

All their cakes are delicious, they have a variety of different flavors to offer so I am sure you will find many you like. I made a tasting appointment with Condra, and looked through a lot of wedding cake design samples but I did not see the exact design I wanted but Condra and I worked closely to create the look we wanted. I sent her my wedding invitation and she was able to create the same scroll work design from it and design my wedding cake by also incorporating my wedding colors. I loved my cake it was beautiful, everything was put together very nicely. I highly recommend Condra, she responded to my emails in a timely manner and I couldn't be happier.

Truly a treat! Right on time, delicious and just how we designed! All organic, local ingredients without yucky oils or fake fats.

We knew pretty much right away that we wanted to work with Condra and Patisserie Angelica. She is a total character, which I love, and her cakes taste AMAZING. I tasted other high-end cakes in the area and they were too sweet. Condra’s flavors are interesting and take advantage of great ingredients.
We decided to do a non-traditional wedding cake and it was fun to work with Condra. She understood what we were looking for and didn’t think we were crazy to pick a stack of books as our cake (it fit the theme of our wedding). In fact, she completely ran with it. At the 11th hour, we asked her to add even more to our cake. Even though she had 9 other cakes that day, she completely delivered. Our cake was exactly what we were looking for and we could not have been happier.
All of our guest marveled at the cake – both how it looked and how it tasted. Working with Patisserie Angelica was an excellent decision and I will definitely be ordering more cakes from them in the future.

The ladies at Patisserie Angelica made deciding on our wedding cake fun, easy and exciting (I might even say it was a piece of cake). The shop is adorable, the staff is friendly and professional and best of all the cake is AMAZING! Every Patisserie Angelica cake that I've ever seen has been beautiful and unique. They are very flexible when in comes to design, in fact they encourage creativity. I found an extra piece of design inspiration after our original meeting and they were happy to accommodate my addition. Our cake was gorgeous and really tied our theme together in a way nothing else could. I would highly recommend them for any occasion

We had both a brides cake and a grooms cake. Everyone commented on not only how beautiful the cakes were, but how good everything tasted. The bakers were so easy to work with too. They really love what they do, that is for sure! Highly recommend using this bakery for any occasion.

What can I say - these people know what they're doing! We had two dramatically different cakes at our wedding - one fondant and one buttercream - they both were amazing! Not only did they look just stunning, but the taste was so fresh. They even provided "take home" boxes for the folks who were too stuffed to have cake, or for the leftovers. They will help you design what you're looking for, and make the vision happen! Beautiful!!!

These women are amazing!. I ordered the cake online and over the phone from Boston for a wedding in Sebastipol. Not only was it the stunningly beautiful but it was positively the best tasting cake anyone of us had ever had. I still dream of it. They were lovely and the day was made so perfect by Condra's attention to details. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

Our cake was incredible. I loved the women at Patisserie Angelica, they were wonderful and so easy to work with. The taste was the most important part to me. It was so moist and delicious. I can't imagine a better experience.

PATISSERIE ANGELICA provided the best tasting cake for our wedding we had EVER eaten! The ladies clearly go the extra mile to make sure that their cakes are made with the best ingredients and are consistently decicious! Condra was a dream to work with, facilitating a very smooth planning process and a beautiful, understated end result. She was even able to accomodate me with a last minute request for a red velvet groom's cake, which my husband said was one of his favorite parts of the reception. We can hardly wait to order our anniversary cake, and will definately be using this bakery years into the future for special occasions! Thank you so much Condra, and the rest of the team for our to-die-for wedding cakes!

As the mother of the bride, I was in charge of finding the cake. The couple lives in New Zealand, and I live in New York, so it all had to be done by e-mail. PA was recommended by another bakery as I wanted a cake made from scratch, no mixes or boxes. We picked the chocolate 3-tier wedding cake, with chocolate fondant covering and a made-from-scratch raspberry filling. We had lots of e-mails back and forth, and I found Condra very responsive and easy to work with. It was delivered on time, and they stayed with the cake until it was properly set up by the pool and all the kids were out of there. It looked lovely, with the simple New Zealand ferns in white chocolate fondant that the groom had requested. We ended up with less people at the wedding that we expected, so there was enough cake for seconds (lots of guests came back for that), and we even had enough for brunch the next morning. It was a pricey cake (about double a standard cake made with mixes), but the enjoyment we all got from it was totally worth it. The bride and groom were thrilled!

DELICIOUS, my family and friends are still (3 months later) talking about how great the cake tasted (and it was beautiful too). It is seriously the best cake I have every had. I can't wait to order another one for my first anniversary.

For those of you with concerns about fondant - I ordered my wedding cake during a weekend trip to Sonoma and wasn't going to be back in town until the day before my wedding. When I got home my mom (who had been cake tasting with my sister who was also getting married)asked "Are you sure you want your cake to be covered in fondant?" Someone at one of the bakeries she and my sister visited told her that fondant "can ruin the taste of your cake." (I didn't know if this was true, since I did not taste the fondant). I called Patisserie Angelica right away. No problem; they said I could come taste the cake again (the day before my wedding - since this was the only time I had) this time with the fondant to be sure that I was happy. If I didn't like it, I could change it. The bakery my mom went to obviously did not use the same fondant as Patisserie Angelica. Patisserie Angelica's fondant tastes kinda like marshmellow and went well with our chocolate beet cake. I'm happy I picked Patisserie Angelica and their fondant.

Ok. Patisserie Angelica matched the adornments on our cake to a paint chip I provided them. They perfectly duplicated the decorations from my dress (which were complicated!) and put them on the cake. The top layer was chocolate with mocha ganache, and the bottom was almond with dried apricots and vanilla custard. It was the best wedding cake I had ever tasted. And so very beautiful. They were very personal, remembering who I was when I called out of the blue at one point. Spent a lot of time helping me design my dream cake. What more could you ask for? Looks great, tastes great, easy to work with. And I thought, for what I asked them to do, very reasonable.

I asked my wedding coordinator who should I go to for a gorgeous wedding cake that tastes equally amazing and she recommended Patisserie Angelica. It was the best wedding cake I have ever tasted! The staff is happy and professional and the cake is one of the only things of our big day that turned out exactly how I imagined. I've seen many beautiful wedding cakes that tasted awful because none of them were from Patisserie Angelica. They use fresh ingredients and have years of experience that definitely paid off. We also had their truffles displayed on our dessert table that were amazing! I highly recommend Patisserie Angelica! They never disappoint!

Patisserie Angelica DELIVERED THE WRONG BACK-UP CAKE on my wedding day. The fall of 2008 we tasted many cake vendors in the area and ultimately chose Patisserie Angelica because we were so impressed by their chocolate beet cake, and the almond cake. We ordered a two-tier wedding cake, with a 12" base of the almond cake, an 8" top tier of the chocolate beet, and a 10" back-up of the chocolate beet. PA is much more expensive than other bakeries in the area, but we selected them because we felt the two flavors we chose were superior to anything else we had tasted. I had told all of our family and friends about the beet chocolate and almond cakes, and I even chose not do do a beet salad (my favorite!) as an appetizer because with the beet cake I thought it would be too much beet. After the first round of cake had been served, I noticed waiters coming out from the back with trays of a white cake with a red, fruit filling. I asked the waiters where they got this cake and they said it was the back-up cake delivered by PA. By the time my husband and I were eating cake, all the beet cake was consumed, and we were stuck eating someone else's wedding cake on our wedding day. The disappointment of having the wrong cake at our wedding was bad enough, but to add insult to injury Condra at Patisserie Angelica was not as concerned by the huge mistake she made as we felt she should have been. When we first met her we were a little put off by her ego, but figured it didn't matter because one doesn't typically have that much interaction with the cake vendor. We never got the sense from her that she appreciated our business, which we felt was the case with our other vendors. Rather, we always felt as though she knew her cakes were fantastic, and we could take her or leave her, but she could care less either way. I called Condra to tell her about the cake mix up and she apologized and offered to reimburse me for the back-up cake (which cost $150) and provide me with a chocolate beet anniversary cake. I don't live in the area and told her I was not going to drive to Sebastopol for a cake, so she offered to send a cake via UPS at a time when I would be having a party. While I do appreciate her attempt to rectify the situation, I told her that I felt she should reimburse me for the entire cake, not just the back-up cake. The whole reason we hired PA was for the chocolate beet cake, and as it turned out we only got 18 servings of that cake. If we were going to get a vanilla cake with fruit filling I would have hired Michelle Marie's in Santa Rosa, whose French basket cake is better than PA's vanilla cake at almost half the price. Condra said that she is human and can make a mistake, and then lectured me that when you punish a child, the punishment must fit the crime, and she didn't feel that reimbursing me for the entire cake was appropriate. I could tell that she wasn't going to budge so I dropped it and accepted the reimbursement and promise of a future beet cake being sent to me. If the cake had accidentally been dropped, or the driver had gotten in a car accident on the way to the venue, I would agree that accidents happen and would not hold PA at fault. If it had been a simple accident I would be happy to accept the reimbursement for the back-up cake along with the new cake being sent via UPS. However, not only did PA deliver the wrong back-up cake, but the cake box actually had a bright turquoise Post-it note with the other bride's name written in Sharpie. In my opinion, this was not an honest mistake or an accident, but negligence. Due to the fact that this error was based on negligence, I feel that PA should have graciously reimbursed me for the entire cake (approx. $700). Condra also had the nerve to imply that I somehow lucked out, because the wrong back-up cake that was delivered was 12" and I had only paid for a 10" back up cake. My interpretation of her attitude was that she feels that all of her cakes are so amazing, that it's not that big of a deal that I got a different cake than I ordered. I was also very disappointed with how the cake was decorated. The placement of the flowers and small pears on the cake seemed haphazard. The florist had left the flowers at the venue, to be arranged by PA when dropping off the cake. The placement of the cake decorations looked very rushed and I was disappointed by the overall look. In sum, if I had it to do over I would not hire PA. The cakes are delicious, but Condra has such a huge ego she is unwilling to take full responsibility for her own negligence, negligence that caused me a lot of upset on the day of my wedding. My husband and I ate someone else's wedding cake on our wedding day, and for that I feel Condra should not make a profit off my wedding. As it stands now Condra has reimbursed me for the back-up cake and issued me and IOU for an 8" square chocolate beet cake. I hope that PA will institute a standard operating procedure in which they double check the cake before dropping it off, so that this does not happen to any other bride and groom on their wedding day. Considering the other bride's name was right there on the box it would have been easy enough to double check.

So, so good!!! My wife and I got wedded at Sebastiani Winery in Sonoma. Neither of us are big dessert people, but we knew all of our guests would hate us if we didn't have some sort of "cake", so we decided to go the cupcake route. Patisserie Angelica - even though they're typically big cake people - makes AMAZING little cakes!!! We wanted black and white treats, but we didn't just want plain ol' chocolate and vanilla. So, what did we end up with, other than heaven on your palette? Our "black" treats were chocolate beet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting and white chocolate shavings on top. Our "white" treats were coconut-vanilla cupcakes with chocolate fudge frosting and milk chocolate shavings on top. They were AMAZING. And they didn't even come close to breaking the bank.

Beautiful, fun and, above all, delicious cakes. As a bonus, you can re-experience the wedding by ordering their cakes through the William-Sonoma catalog!

the cakes are very high quality artisan cakes and they taste absolutely delicious. everyone at the patisserie is extremely friendly and great to work with, their cakes look beautiful, and they offer a great value. they are much stronger with fondant than buttercream as far as cake design goes.

The cake tasted amazing and was pretty, but the finished product was not exactly as we had discussed.

Great group of people work here. The cake was fantastic, the design process was fun and we couldn't have been happier with the way our cake looked. We highly recommend this place for your wedding cake or just some pastries on the weekend.

THe cake was beautiful and soooo tasty. They worked with us to create a cake that fit our wedding and style. Thanks

The most gorgeous and yummy cake. Thank you ladies!

One of the best moments of our wedding planning was cake tasting at Patisserie Angelica. They were really busy the day we came in but we were whisked away to a private room were we had tea and cake. We were worried that things might feel rushed but when we met with Condra we realized that there was no need for concern. She was not only friendly but gave us her full attention and was happy to help us design our perfect cake. Of course we wanted a pretty cake but the most important thing to us was how it tasted and their cakes are DELICIOUS! My husband and I had a very specific idea of what we wanted and they exceeded our expectations!

YUM. Patisserie Angelica makes the absolute most delicious wedding cakes I have ever tasted. I had several friends who chose Patisserie Angelica for their wedding cakes, and I had purchased cakes from them for birthdays and other special events. The wedding cake that Patisserie Angelica made for us was really fantastic. All of our guests loved it. The cake was really beautiful. A good friend of our was celebrating his 70th birthday at our wedding, and the ladies at Patisserie Angelica arranged for a small birthday cake for him which was wrapped like a birthday gift. He loved it so much that he is still talking about that cake, nearly 3 years later!Honestly, their cakes are probably the most expensive in this area, but they are worth every dime because they are so delicious and beautiful too.

Beautiful tasty cakes

Patisserie Angelica is incredible! Their wedding cakes are amazing and they have such a great imagination and style. I hope to work with them again in the very near future. Thanks!

Patisserie Angelica is a favorite of mine, creating stunning and delicious wedding cakes and other wonderful desserts. The pastries are as close to France as I can get, reminiscent of the years I spent there. Jessica-Fleurs de France

What can I say about these cake-making sisters that hasn't already been said?For many years (15) I have been doing weddings in Napa Valley and all over our beautiful wine country. It seems as if the majority of the weddings my daughter & I capture on video, also have Patisserie Angelica create their cakes. I've recommended them on my own web site since the first time I saw their "Mad Hatter's Cake" at the Culinary Institute. It's a no-brainer after all of the years I've gone to weddings and seen literally dozens of their cakes. Remember, I'm not a bride seeing just one cake!Before the weddings I make it a point to know who the other vendors are I will be working with. If I know that Patisserie Angelica is making the cake, I can't wait to see it! They are beyond belief. These two sisters have mastered the art of elegant, whimsical, traditional, crazy, colorful, small ones, huge ones, groom's cake and yes....some very bizarre requests for cakes from their couples, and Iook forward to them every time.I have so much fun "getting the cakes on video" in so many creative ways!Condra & Deborah, you rock!

You have to see (and ofcourse taste) their cakes to believe them!

I have been referring bridal couples to Patisserie Angelica for as long as I can remember. They have yummy yummy cakes made the way I like them- with the freshest products and with love. Not only do their cakes taste good but they look divine too!

Vintners Inn is so proud to have all our wedding cakes sucessfully created by Patisserie Angelica. We feel they are the very best in Northern California and are the best representation for Vintners Inn and John Ash & Co. Restaurant. Also, Debbie and Condra are wonderful to work with!!

Patisserie Angelica creates world class cakes. They are truly professional and passionate about service and quality. They are preferred at Vintner's Inn in Napa, and I always look forward to sneaking a taste!

I have worked with Patisserie Angelica for a number of years now. Condra and Debra's commitment to excellence in the art and craft of pastry creation joined their vision for perfection has been and remains unwavering. Covenant Coordinating clients are refered to Patisserie Angelica. Patisserie Angelica's ability to craft delicious pastry and produce any style you can imagine is reknown. Not only have they delivered gorgeous wedding cakes in unique but traditional forms for my clients but they have also crafted fabulous groom's cakes such as the University of Oregon Duck for a recent bride.
