Berkeley celebrations deserve extraordinary cakes. Whether you're hosting a birthday party near UC Berkeley campus, a wedding at a local venue, or an event at North Berkeley Gourmet Ghetto, our custom cakes become the centerpiece. We've been creating sculpted 3D cakes, ultra-realistic designs, and hand-decorated cookies for Berkeley's creative and diverse community where every celebration is as unique as the city itself since 2012.
Delivery to Berkeley takes approximately 30 minutes from our Wildwood Avenue bakery in Daly City. We also serve UC Berkeley departments and campus organizations with branded cookies and corporate celebration cakes. Order by 2:00 PM for same-day delivery, or book your custom cake 2–3 weeks in advance for the perfect design.

Berkeley Cake Ordering Tips
Berkeley is about 30 minutes from our Daly City bakery via I-80 East across the Bay Bridge. During Cal football game days and UC Berkeley graduation weekend in May, traffic on University Avenue and around campus gets heavy — we recommend scheduling delivery at least 45 minutes early for those dates. Parking near campus is limited, so we'll coordinate a specific handoff spot with you.

Frequently Asked Questions — Berkeley
Can you deliver directly to UC Berkeley campus buildings?
Yes, we deliver to UC Berkeley campus buildings regularly. We're familiar with the loading zones at Haas Pavilion, the MLK Student Union, International House, and faculty buildings. For campus deliveries, we'll need a specific building address and a contact person to meet us, since campus parking is restricted.
Do you offer vegan or gluten-free options for Berkeley customers?
We offer select vegan and gluten-free cookie and cupcake options that are popular with Berkeley's health-conscious community. These items are prepared with dedicated equipment to minimize cross-contamination. Let us know your dietary requirements when ordering and we'll walk you through available flavors and designs.
How early should I order for a Cal graduation party?
UC Berkeley graduation in May is one of our busiest weekends. We recommend placing your order at least 3-4 weeks in advance for custom cakes and 2 weeks for cookie and cake pop orders. Graduation-themed designs with blue and gold are our most requested Berkeley orders — we have templates ready to customize.
