Absolutely phenomenal.
Gina‘s cake was absolutely amazing, She went above and beyond to capture the exact cake that I wanted. I met with her and she is absolutely a doll. I got so many compliments on my cake and everyone was raving how good it was. Her Italian meringue buttercream is to die for.Gina and the Bean's reply:
Lindsay!!! It was so wonderful to work with you and serve you on your wedding day! I’m so happy that you were enjoyed your cake 😊
Here’s to a lifetime of happiness for you and your hubby 💝 -

Steve P. Sent on 01/18/2022Gina's cakes are as delicious as they are lovely
My fiance and I could not have been happier with the service, professionalism, and most importantly, the tastiness and quality of Gina's desserts. Her cake was picture perfect for our wedding day, a feat made more impressive by the fact that she delivered it by hand to our ceremony up in Santa Barbara!
Cake sampling was a delight, and we had a heck of a time deciding which of Gina's cakes was the best. Whatever flavor profile you decide, I believe you'll be impressed with Gina's skills!Gina and the Bean's reply:
Wow!! I can’t thank you two enough for trusting me with such a magical day. It was such a pleasure to work with you and serve you. Here’s to marriage bliss and a lifetime with your true love ❤️ -

A piece of Gina's heart on each bite.
Gina made an amazing job during my husband's 50th birthday party.
Communication with her was fast and easy. Immediately, she asked me the party's theme and any proper details, proving her business´ experience.
The estimate was sent promptly and according to our budget.
The crew showed up perfectly on-time and prepared.
My husband and guest were delighted with the desserts. We could all tell there was a piece of Gina's heart on each bite.
Once the event finished, the crew showed up and took care of everything.
Gina, thank you for helping me making my husband's surprise birthday party soooo perfect...Gina and the Bean's reply:
Veronica - It was such a pleasure to serve you. Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing such kind words. I just so happy that you, your guests and the "birthday boy" enjoy our sweet set up! Here's to many years of healthy and happiness!! -

Absolutely Delicious and Professional
Gina and the Bean did our backyard wedding reception and it was fantastic experience. We did a tasting beforehand, and frankly it was hard to choose because everything was delicious. On top of absolutely delicious desserts, Gina was prompt, professional and prepared. The dessert table was fabulous. You know it’s a success when the table is empty at the end of the night. The desserts were beautifully arranged and very high quality. We couldn’t be happier.Gina and the Bean's reply:
Thank you so much Cathy! It was such a pleasure and honor to serve you and your hubby and be a part of your very amazing day. Here's to marriage bliss and a lifetime of love, adventure and laughter! Don't forget to reach out for your complimentary 1st anniversary cake! :) -

Gina made the most delicious two tier, red velvet cake for my wedding! My husband and I adore red velvet and Gina’s is now on the top of our list. We planned our wedding remotely and never had the pleasure of meeting Gina or tasting the cake before ordering it, but I’m so happy we chose her bakery. She made the entire process so simple, delivered on time, and placed my flowers and cake topper perfectly. All of our guests thoroughly enjoyed the cake and couldn’t stop complimenting it. Thank you, Gina!!!Gina and the Bean's reply:
We did coordinate this without meeting face to face, didn't we?! Well, please be sure to reach out as your first year approaches so I can make you a complimentary first year anniversary cake and hopefully meet you then. :) Congratulations again!!! -

Gina was a delight during our tasting! We met at a local Starbucks and she treated my fiancé and me to a tasty beverage to go with her delicious cakes. She brought a nice selection of 4 kinds to taste. Chocolate, vanilla with lemon filling, vanilla with Carmel filling and chocolate chip cookie cake!! They were all SO delicious we still haven’t decided which we will pick! If you want a friendly, amazingly talented, and someone who will work with your budget then Gina is hands down the baker for your wedding! Thank you GINA!!Gina and the Bean's reply:
Thank you so much! I'm just so excited to be a part of your wedding team. We will make it AMAZING and your best day ever. I feel very lucky to serve you and Justin. Thank you for choosing Gina and the Bean!! -

Thank you, Gina! You made our wedding dreams come true! Our entire 170+ wedding guests loved our dessert table and the extra detail you put into making it so special. Especially adding our baby pictures and the rustic theme on display. I cannot wait to work with you for other events!Gina and the Bean's reply:
Thank you so much, Franciska! It was such a pleasure to serve you and be a part of your wedding. I couldn't be happier for you both, and your beautiful growing family :) Congratulations!!! Please stay nice and safe and in good health. Virtual hugs to you - Gina -

Gina is the best!!!!
Gina and her cakes are AMAZING! As my husband and I were in the process of searching for bakeries to create our wedding cake, thankfully Gina was recommended to us by our wedding coordinator. My husband called a number of bakeries on the phone to receive estimates, and was becoming increasingly stressed after each call. Once he spoke to Gina, he had a huge smile on his face and immediately knew that she was the baker we had been looking for all along! Gina is so sweet and was more than helpful and generous every step of the way. We greatly appreciated all of her help and quick communication. Gina did not try to overprice us simply because we were looking for a “wedding cake”, as so many bakeries we had called beforehand were seeming to do. She offered to meet for a cake tasting (All of which were so delicious!), offered to make us a similar cake as we chose for the wedding, for our 1 year anniversary, and drove out to San Juan Capistrano for the cake delivery on our wedding day! Everything about our experience working with Gina was so wonderful and we are so grateful that she was able to create our dream cake for our dream wedding! Gina, you are The BEST!Gina and the Bean's reply:
Hi Monique - I really wish that happiness could pay the bills. Words can't express how happy I am that you and Jeremy were pleased. :)
I love what I do so much because I have the pleasure of meeting couples like you, just before you embark on your life-long adventure together. I wish ALL that is wonderful, healthy and prosperous. Here's to your happily ever after!
Thanks again for letting me be a part of your wedding team :) oxox

Elana Sent on 04/08/2019Gina and the Bean - exceeds all expectations! :)
I cannot say enough positive things about Gina and the Bean.
First - the deliciousness of the cake. Wow, we were blown away. We ended up going with vanilla/carmel and chocolate/chocolate - they were both outstanding. The quality of the ingredients Gina uses is clearly top notch. The cakes are so moist and flavorful - not overly sweet like a lot of cake you might find at a different bakery. Gina is such a talented baker.
Second - Gina is SO sweet and easy to work with. She went out of her way on so many levels to provide friendly, professional service at our convenience. Planning a wedding is stressful enough, so working with a vendor as easygoing and on top of it as Gina makes the day-of so easy!
Third - super reasonably priced. We did a fair amount of shopping around for cakes until we found Gina. Her cakes were the best in quality and value. While other places were not flexible with budget, Gina worked with us to fit our budgetary parameters. The cake was beautiful, tasty, and within our budget.
I would highly recommend Gina and the Bean to anyone who needs a cake at their next party! You will certainly be pleased! :)Gina and the Bean's reply:
Hi Elana!
CONGRATULATIONS to you and Adam! It was such a pleasure to serve you two and I am just so happy that YOU were happy with the cake(s). Reach out to me a week before your 3/24/20 and I'll be happy to bake a fresh anniversary cake. :)
Welcome back home. I hope you had an amazing honeymoon!

Desiree C. Sent on 04/14/2019Perfection is an Understatment
Gina and the Bean....where do I begin! I am a local event planner and florist and met Gina about 6 months ago through one of my preferred caterers. She swept me off my feet at the tasting! Her desserts are wonderful in every single way. She has since done multiple birthday cakes, family gatherings, wedding cakes, dessert bars, and even the cutest tea party for my little princess and her friends! Every time I have booked her for something different thinking she has it no problem, she surprises me with an even bigger and better dessert and display then I imagined! She now handles ALL of my couples and clients desserts. Her prices are spot on, desserts are beyond fab, and to top it off she is the sweetest!!!Gina and the Bean's reply:
Desiree, I am blushing and just so happy that you have been pleased with what I have done so far! Thank you for the opportunity to work with you and represent your team. It really is an honor.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! oxoxox -

Gina is so awesome, I’ve used her for several of my parties and have been to a handful of events where she was the dessert vendor and OMG!!!! First of all, she is the absolute nicest person I know and is so delightful to talk to and work with, second of all, her desserts and especially her cake are beyond this world, so yummy! Lastly, she really knows how to work with your theme, people can Pinterest this stuff all they want but her creativity is really original and Gina takes pride in her business and her art.Gina and the Bean's reply:
Hi Krystal! Wow, I can't thank you enough for trusting me to be a part of your special occasions and for such sweet words!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! -
