Delicious, beautiful(and gluten-free!) wedding cake. Sally Ann was great to work with too. Only hiccup was that our sheet cake was supposed to be gluten-free like the main cake but for some reason that didn’t happen(must have been a miscommunication)

SallyAnn baked our cake for our wedding last November. From the minute we walked into her shop, we new the experience was going to be a memorable one! She was very friendly and polite and offered us tea immediately. We sat down to talk through our wish list for our cake and she was very thorough and listened to all of our requests. She had all types of cake — many flavors — and fillings for us to sample and I didn’t want to stop at only a couple bites. The cakes and fillings were so unique and flavorful… I knew we found our wedding cake baker. SallyAnn was amazing to work with throughout the process. We decided to add on cupcakes and mini pies to our order and we were impressed with those as well. I reached out to SallyAnn for our one year anniversary cake(complimentary) and she’s been so sweet and helpful. She even offered to meet me after hours to give me the anniversary cake. SallyAnn goes above and beyond with her customer service, amazing cakes and attention to detail. I highly recommend any bride and groom looking for a wedding cake expert to choose Sally Ann!

Forget-Me-Not Cakes went above and beyond expectations for our wedding cake! My family has known Sally Ann for quite some time, and because we wanted a cake with a specific flavor profile we thought if anyone could make this happen it would be her. Our wedding was in late summer 2015 and we drew inspiration from one of my husband’s desserts(he if a chef), wanting to incorporate blackberry and cardamom flavors. Sally Ann created a few different options for us to taste, along with some of her standard flavor offerings. Every single one of them was so delicious we couldn’t decide. In the end we went with the blackberry, cardamom and buttercream option because it was so perfect for our wedding. Sally Ann was up for the challenge and what she created absolutely blew us away. The cake was finished with a delicately layered buttercream with olive branches and very realistic sugar California poppies. The inside was just as gorgeous, with four layers of blackberry, white cake, and cardamom cream that added a warm and magical spice to the fresh and summery blackberry conserve. We continued to enjoy this amazing creation after the wedding(it was that good and stayed fresh) sharing it with friends who were requesting seconds the day after. I can’t thank Sally Ann enough for going the extra mile with this custom cake that now, a week after the wedding, people are still talking about! I highly recommend Forget-Me-Not Cakes.

Hands down the best cake I have had in my life! Sally Ann made a cake for my wife’s 50 th birthday part that had everyone taking. The party and her blackberry and lemon cake will be remembered for years to come. Can’t wait to have her bake us another! Wonderful.

I recently used Forget-me-not for my wedding cupcakes and was thrilled with every step of the process. Sally-Ann is wonderful to work with. She set up a wonderful tasting experience, was flexible and easy to work with and her cupcakes are absolutely delicious. My friend told me after the wedding that she isn’t the biggest fan of cupcakes but she loved every single one and even took some home. She did a great set-up of the display that I was so thrilled to walk in to. I highly recommend her!

Just met with Sally Ann. They’re the best! Always deliciously sweet and accommodating. Now for the cakes. I’ve had many of their custom creations. All were perfect in every way! They have relocated to a new and better place. That address is 1435 North McDowell Boulevard in Petaluma. They are inside of the Fourchette café. Now you can enjoy some of their other pastries and goodies. I just did that too. YUM!

We tried lots of cake and hers was simply the best. Her flavors are AMAZING and our wedding cake was beautiful. We had 3 different flavors of cake — pistachio, spiced pumpkin pecan with toffee buttercream, and apple pie cake. All were so delicious. We had guests insisting on eating multiple slices of cake. We even brought the leftovers home by plane because her cakes are that good and we wanted to eat more of it– now, not a year after the wedding. Working with Sally Ann was great. She has a much broader range of flavors than most others do and her flavors and her cake taste really great and have a wonderful consistency. She worked with us to figure out what type of design I would like the most and the finished product was just what I had envisioned(but better). Thanks so much! Can’t wait to come back for more.

I waited until the last minute to get a cake for my daughter’s graduation and came across Forget-Me-Not Cakes(maybe even on Unilocal?). While the website asked for 3 weeks advance notice, it also said there might be last minute cancellations so I took a chance and immediately got an email from Sally Ann saying that she had room for one more cake. I really had no idea what I wanted and gave her only the most very basic idea of what I was looking for. She came up with a beautiful design and the cake not only looked great, it tasted great as well. it left me wishing I had another occasion that merited a fancy cake! I would definitely recommend Sally Ann and will certainly return the next time I need a cake. The cake was beautiful and I felt the cost was extremely reasonable.

We never had the opportunity to leave a review. We hired her based on the way she treated us. Fantastic customer service from start to finish. We picked something for her to create that we ran across in a picture. To my amazement she understood what we wanted. What she crated was her own take on the idea we brought her. When we saw the cake that was created we were blown away. Its was a complete work of art. Upon tasting it i remembered why we went with this company. Amazing flavor and texture. I can’t wait for our anniversary cake.

Sally Ann is such a delight to work with. She is very prompt when returning e-mails or phone calls. I ordered a cake for my husband’s graduation and she worked off my idea to make a one of a kind cake. Not only are her creations beautiful, but they’re delicious too. We went with a basic white cake with raspberry filling, but even the«basics» taste over the top in a delicious way. You can tell the cake was fresh, it was so moist and had the perfect consistency. The raspberry filling was on point too, and you could tell that it was fresh as well. I am looking forward to using Sally Ann again when our next celebration comes around. She has some very tasty sounding cupcakes so we may have to try those next.

Sally Ann is a pleasure to work with, providing a delightful cake tasting opportunity with a wide variety of choices for a wedding cake. She shared a slide show of her many creative cakes and assisted us in the unique design for our cake. The buttermilk cake with lemon filling was absolutely delicious. SallyAnn personally delivered it to our home and artfully arranged the flowers on and around the cake for our garden wedding. From the first tasting to the last bite, her service was fantastic. We highly recommend Forget Me Not Cakes and would use it again with out hesitation! Thank you Sally Ann. You and your cakes are a delight!

Sally Ann is absolutely wonderful! We hired her for our wedding and it was perfect. We decided to do a small cake and dessert table. She provided us with all kinds of samples to help us narrow them down. Let me tell you right now, this woman does quality work! Her food tastes amazing. During the process she helped us create the perfect cake and was willing to listen to everything we wanted. We changed ideas around and she was always willing to work with us and responded quickly. After the wedding everyone told me how great the desserts were and it was by far the best wedding cake they had ever had. Once you try some of her food you will know too, that she is the one.

Sally Ann baked our wedding cake and cupcakes for our wedding in Napa last month. We got married at a private estate, and Sally Ann delivered the cake herself, and set it up beautifully. From the first moment we met her at the cake tasting, we felt confident that she was the one we wanted to bake our cake. My mother and sister accompanied me to the tasting, and they are both wonderful bakers… so with their blessing as well, I knew we wouldn’t be disappointed. Sally Ann uses real, natural, fresh ingredients, and is a master of decoration. She was able to match the dogwood flower pattern on our invitations for our 3-tier cake! The only challenging part was picking the flavors and fillings we wanted, because ALL of her cakes are so delicious. We went for a vanilla cake with lemon and raspberry, and it was divine. Our caterer saved us the top tier, and we enjoyed it for several days after our wedding! Sally Ann’s prices are fair and reasonable, especially considering the high quality ingredients and impeccable decoration. Sally Ann also makes gluten free cupcakes, for which I was very grateful, since we had quite a few family members who are gluten-free. I can’t say I tried one myself, but they were all devoured by the end of the night, so I know they were a huge hit! Lastly, I would like to point out that the personal service and attention that Sally Ann puts in to her business is unique. You don’t feel as though you are just one couple of many who is shuffled through the wedding factory… Sally Ann doesn’t take on more jobs than she and her staff can personally handle. Therefore you know that she will the one decorating your cake and making it perfect. She is so personable and sweet, and if I lived closer, I would hope we could have tea together sometime. She is just that wonderful.

I ordered my 50th birthday cake from Sally-Ann — it was the most amazing cake… Just what I asked for. It looked like a big present box, wrapped in cheetah print and tied up with a bright pink ribbon and bow. The cake was delicious — a light lemon flavor with raspberry filling… Even the fondant tasted amazing. Everyone raved about it. It was a perfect accent to a perfect celebration with friends.

We hired Sally Ann and Forget-Me-Not Cakes to make our cake and other desserts for our September 2012 wedding. Working with Forget-Me-Not cakes was one of the best wedding decisions I made! First– the cake tasting was delicious and we were literally offered everything to try. Sally Ann pulled out all possible cake options(of which there were many) and so many different fillings to try. At some cake tastings, you get a bite — this was positively a buffet of cale options — go hungry! Once we signed our contract, Sally Ann was a delight to work with. I edited quantities and dessert choices about 4 times and every time she was patient with me and very kind– always willing to work with me so I got exactly what I wanted. Her pricing was also lower than other bakers in the area — so that was amazing. On the day of our wedding, our cake was beautiful(exactly what I wanted!) and delicious. We went with Black Velvet chocolate cake with chocolate Ganache and Hazelnut Praline Buttercream, Black Velvet Chocolate Cake filled with Chocolate Ganache and Espresso Buttercream, and Vanilla Buttermilk Cake filled with Lemon Curd and Lemon Buttercream– she let us switch cake types and fillings between layers so that we would have different cake options. We also had small miniature pies and galettes with seasonal fruit and chocolate covered strawberries– everything was a hit and looked beautiful! And the grand finale — you know how lots of people save and freeze the top tier of their wedding cake and then eat it on their first anniversary — well, Sally Ann doesn’t want you to eat year old cake — so on your first anniversary — she bakes you a new«top tier» of your wedding cake for you to enjoy! Sally Ann is the BEST!

We met with Sally a little over a year before our wedding and planned out how our dream wedding cake would look. She gave us a drawing of what it would look like and when our cake arrived on our wedding it looked even better than the drawing and what we were imaging. Thank you Sally Ann for our beautiful cake. Oh and it tasted amazing as well, especially the pistachio.

This review is LONG overdue. Sally Ann created a cake for my best friend’s baby shower back in February. After many emails(on my part) discussing every detail, she was able to perfectly match what we wanted. She was a pleasure to work with and I always recommend her! Check out the pictures…
