I have been searching for 5 years since I arrived in the area for a bakery that makes a simple yet delicious cake. I have finally found The One. I bought a chocolate cake with chocolate fudge frosting cake for my son's birthday and not only was it gorgeous, it was absolutely fabulous. More...

My sister recommended I check this place out for my Wedding & I'm SO glad I did! I was initially torn between this place & another nearby bakery, but after my Now-Husband & I got a closer look at the plethora of flavors they offered, we were hooked! Donna was a very easy-going lady to work with, and she was very swift to respond to Our Calls & Emails. Then the Tasting Day arrived, and we were blown away! All the Cakes we pre-selected were uniquely delicious, so of course we got stumped. Miraculously, this didn't deter the Sit-In Assistant, who snuck out of the Tasting Room, instinctively grabbed a cupcake with the ideal flavor combo from the Front Counter, and offered it to us to try. It was EXACTLY what we were looking for-- pink champagne flavored cake with Raspberry Buttercream Frosting -- so heavenly and moist!!!For the design, I offered them a few Pinterest pictures & they absolutely nailed it- everyone at the Reception admired this right until we cut it!I'm looking forward to our 1st Anniversary, when we can go into this magical shop again for our Free Mini-Version of this masterpiece!

Nolan's came up huge when I asked for a last minute custom "just engaged" cake this past weekend. We walked into the shop on Friday afternoon, asking for a cake, with custom artwork for Saturday afternoon. Â They said yes, they could do it, even though they would be working late Friday night because they had so many cakes ordered for the weekend. I can very happily say that the finished cake made the party extra special. It was a huge hit! Â And everyone's mouths watered when they heard it was a "Nolan's Cake". Â It did not disappoint. Delicious! More...

So, I sent a message to the lady that usually makes our cakes for every occasion because my daughters 5th birthday was 1 week away. She replied saying that she was sorry but that she couldn't make the cake because she has people coming from Mexico for her 25th wedding anniversary. I asked my mom if she knew anyone and she said she would think about it. My brother works in Pleasanton and had heard about Noland's so he asked me if I wanted to order the vale from there. So, I looked it up on yelp and I told him to order it please white cake and fresh strawberries. It was so good.. not too sweet... moist.. fresh.. I'll definitely be going back. More...

Ordered a last-minute cake here and my gosh it was amazing! We ordered a grand mariner yellow cake with grand mariner filling. The cake itself was perfect moisture, flavor, and consistency, the filling and the frosting were amazing! Not too sweet, perfectly made. I would recommend this place full-heartedly. My family has been ordering cakes here for 23 years, and this will continue to be our go-to place. More...

My sister was graduating with her PhD in GeoPhysics (earthquakes/earth movement). I went in just with an idea of getting a earthquake cake, did not do any research just an idea in my head. I spoke with the young lady in the front and we did a google search did not find much. A woman from the back came out and we told her what I wanted and she basically drew what I wanted from the little we found on google. I got a Confetti cake with fresh strawberries filling with a buttercream outside. Few fondant decorations and a cricket school sign. I picked it up on a Friday. Drove it down to Southern California in a cooler with a ton of ice packs(about 6 hours). Served it on Saturday and it still was an amazing cake! Everyone at the graduation party loves how moist the cake was and how the buttercream was more buttery than sweet. The strawberries were still firm and tasted amazing. It was exactly what I wanted. We found some very dramatic designs online. Like building on fire, cars with light posts fallen on them. This design was perfect for a graduation. Classy and still showed an earthquake. More...

Beautiful, moist, tasty & Â amazing cakes! I have bought several cakes here in the past. I like to support local business owners by buying cakes from local family owned businesses instead of big Corp bakeries. The staff is always warm welcome & accommodating! I had forgotten to order a cake for my lil granddaughters 5th bday . I left for a trip to New York & called on Wednesday for her cake Pickup on Saturday. I emailed her the picture and she said no problem. When I picked up the cake it was simply amazing & the best chocolate cake you will find! More...

I haven't even gotten my cake yet! Â Actually, my wife purchased a cake from Nolands a while ago for my birthday and it was great. Â Now I find myself hunting for a good pineapple upside down cake (my wife's favorite) and decided to take a chance and text them while out for dinner. Â Got the response in less than 5 minutes! Â Love that kind of service. Â Â Anyway, I really appreciate that - it will make my wife so happy! Â Â I can update this after I receive the cake - just thought I would throw in my 2 cents now based on their service response. More...

Part of the reason I've stopped by this place was due to the fact my mom recognized the name of this bakery back in the days when she worked in Oakland. She asked btw and the cashier didn't know anyways, it's a nice little hole in the wall shop with pretty good baked goods. Outside currently, they are advertising fruit tarts and for $5, you actually get a decent sized fruit tart with some good fruit on the top. The tart itself was flaky in crust and the fruit and glaze had the right amount of sweetness to it. Overall not a bad little shop to get something sweet. More...

I chose 12 cupcakes and that did not even cover the range in offer in this lovely yet discrete shop. I bought them to bring to my girlfriends as a treat and they were certainly received as such. Forget your Safeway cup cakes. These are the real McCoy with incredible toppings and surprising inserts. 12 cupcakes=$60 More...

We tried the Snow White cupcake and a chocolate chip cookie, both of which were delicious. Snow White cupcake was moist and cream was smooth and not too sweet. Â Chocolate chip cookie was buttery and chocolate chips melted in the mouth. On top of the satisfying baked goods the customer service was also friendly. What a pleasant treat! More...

I ordered a cake for my Hubby's bday and it came out perfect. Since he's a huge Raiders fan, I wanted to surprise my hubby with a Raider's themed cake and Nolands did a great job executing my idea. I ordered the marble cake with the chocolate mocha mousse filling and it was so delicious and moist. I had the cake covered with whipped cream frosting as well rather than buttercream. I placed the order over the phone And the lady who helped  me was very patient and very helpful since I was so indecisive with my order. I was a little hesitant to go out of the norm from ordering the usually chocolate cake with a strawberry filling, but at the same time I wanted to venture out and try something new; I'm very glad I did. Yes, the cake was quite pricey but very well worth every dollar spent. It was huge and we had left overs for a couple of days after sharing almost half of it with my in-laws. I will definitely be ordering again in the near future and would recommend this place if you haven't given it a try. I knocked off a star only because I'm hoping next time the would provide larger cake boxes. They placed my cake in a box that was too small and the cake was exposed. I had to get creative when I got home to cover it up so I wouldn't ruin the surprise for him. I used aluminum foil paper to cover the rest of the cake but would of been nice to have it in a larger box for next time and didn't have to take that extra step. More...

I ordered a cake for my husband's birthday. Â It was banana nut cake with fresh bananas and cream in the center. Â The frosting was cream cheese. Â The cake was delicious! Â I ordered the cake online on their website just 24 hours before I was going to serve it. Â It was so easy. Â For custom cakes, I would recommend that you order it way in advance but if your are not particular about the design, they can accommodate last minute orders. Â The cake was a bit pricey but well worth it. Â It was $90 for a 8"x8" square. Â They do sell cupcakes. Â They are large and are at $5 each.I will definitely order cake from this bakery again.

The marble cake was not too sweet (which we love), super moist & fresh with raspberry mousse filling & dark chocolate fondant, which was not hard & edible & delicious too. All my guests raved about the cake & we have a lot of foodies in our group. My BF thoroughly enjoyed the Birthday party & finished every the last morsel of the cake in the following week...
