Hiroyo and Satoko are cake wizards. They are the kindest people to work with and go the extra mile to execute your vision. There is nothing they can’t cakeify, and their detail work is stunning. And on top of it all, the cakes are delicious! I absolutely recommend them for any 3D cakes- I work with a lot of bakers and they are some of the best in the country in my opinion.

SOMA cakes made our wedding cake, and it turned out fantastic! It was a real pleasure working with Satoko who talked us through different flavors and designs to get exactly what we wanted. They were able to mix-and-match multiple flavors in one cake, and replicate design elements we liked from pinterest and elsewhere. The final product was gorgeous, and delicious!

If Yelp would allow, I would give this baker 10 stars. Satoko and her team don't make cakes, they make masterpieces. We hired her to create a custom Paw Patrol themed birthday cake for my son's 5th birthday party. She was extremely easy to work with and very responsive via e-mail. We asked for her suggestions regarding the design and she was able to give us multiple options. We made changes to the order several times and she was always extremely accommodating. The day of the party, the cake was delivered right on time and, as you can see from the picture, it was literally a work of art. The cake was a showstopper and just about every parent wanted to know who made it. The most magical moment was when my son saw his birthday cake.....his little eyes got as big as pancakes and he said "WOW!" If you are willing to pay for it, SOMA can make a cake for any occasion. These cakes are like works of art. In fact, the cake was so beautiful, we ALMOST didn't want to slice it! But when we did it was absolutely delicious! I would highly recommend SOMA!

Cakes were awesome. The owner Hiroyo is the sweetest but her partner is Rude and Nasty and greedy when communicating on the phone and emails. And doesn’t let you talk to the owner Hiroyo. Insists on talking to her and not the owner. Does not know how to conduct herself in business. Don’t think I will be going back. And mind you I have done cakes there for about 2 years. Never again.

Hello, Co-owner here. We regret that we are not able to take your orders any longer. Personal insults you gave us were absolutely unnecessary , uncalled for, and hurtful when we were merely trying to run our business with professionalism. We are aware that some people might not realize that we have a very small business hence running the business in more streamlined and efficient way with clear separation of duties becomes essential in order to succeed in running a stable business long term.
Thank you for your support until today. Wishing you many happy celebrations in your future! SOMA cakes NYC

I was fortunate to be able to sample their cupcake (this was a special treat as they normally do custom-made spectacular cakes). They were mind-bogglingly GOOD!!! Light, fluffy, moist, just the right level of sweetness and makes you smile throughout the day. Can't wait to order a custom cake!!

Beautiful cake and very well packed. 0 complaints there however it tasted horrible - like synthetic almond flavor. I ordered pistachio with lemon buttercream. I did not taste the buttercream. I was embarrassed cause everyone was gossiping how terrible the cake is and no one ate it other than 1 bite. I trashed 3/4ths of the cake away. Besides that, the cake pops (balloons) had styrofoam instead of actual cake. When my 2 year old took it and bit into it he almost choked. For $450 I expected the cake pops to be edible. This is unacceptable for the price. I do not recommend.

Hi Marta, most of our clients love our pistachio cake but we are sorry to hear that you did not enjoy it. The huge balloon decorations on the top is Styrofoam core, that is standard technique used in custom cake shops to reduce the heavy weight crushing the cake. Our sincere apologies for the disappointment, we should have explained it better! Taking notes for our future improvements. Thank you for your feedback!

Thank you for our beautiful and delicious winter themed wedding cake! Hiroyo and her team knocked it out of the park. From initial contact to tasting to placing the order everything went smoothly and Soma cakes provided top notch customer service. The flavors were delicious and our guests loved them. I particularly recommend the green tea sponge.

My experience with Soma was fantastic and I would give more stars if I could. The cake was beautiful, delicious Iand on time. I ordered a cake a week before my mother's birthday and explained the occasion and my requirements, my mother is classic carribean picky. She listened intently and the finL product was amazing and exactly what I wanted. Tbey offer delivery but my sister went to pick it up and it was raining she told me that they made her comfortable while she waited for her Uber and carried her bags to the car and wouldn't let her walk out the door without an umbrella, I'd already paid and they were under no obligation. That's just great customer service. If you are wondering, yes my mother loved the cake, so did my aunts, and her friends; that was Sunday and I'm still getting calls about how beautiful and delicious the cake was. I'll say it, customer for life.

In the middle of the pandemic covid 19, I needed a special cake for a client. Unfortunately, a lot of stores were closed but not Soma Cakes. Because I had my own vision, I designed the cake and gave the owner all the details she would need to make it. The cake turned out so beautiful that Cake Masters Magazine featured it in its weekly highlights. Soma Cakes has nimble fingers... Not to mention that the taste and texture were ...hmmm, how to find the good words ?... Simply delicious. Thanks Soma Cakes.

Absolutely loved our unicorn cake. It was spectacular and our “daughter” (also edible) was even riding the unicorn! The designer put her heart into the concept and researched before coming up with a design. Many cakes that look amazing don’t taste it. This was the perfect cake. Looked beautiful & tasted great.

My mom ordered a custom cake for my birthday from Soma cakes. First of all, the cake was absolutely DELICIOUS. I mean seriously fantastic. There’s a very famous cake place in Chelsea I used to order from - not anymore! Second of all, the lady who delivered it (I didn’t get her name) was so sweet - I was half asleep opening the door, but even in my groggy state I remember she was SO excited when she told me happy birthday that it still makes me smile days later :) Thirdly (and this is information from my mom), Soma truly went above and beyond to create my cake. My mom apparently called no less than 10 bakeries looking for anyone who could make a White Forest cake (which is basically a Black Forest cake just with white chocolate & vanilla cake) and got canned responses from every single one of them - even the ones who sold Black Forest cakes! - who refused to deviate even slightly from their menu. Soma was the only place that jumped to the task and they did an AMAZING job. Also they were very concerned with the high delivery charge (Brooklyn address) via an external service, which is why I believe the lady my mom spoke to is the one who delivered it personally instead - which is so so so nice! Thank you SO much for the delicious cake, and a million more Thank You’s for making my birthday so special (White Forest has been my favourite cake since I was little, but is literally impossible to find in North America so the last time I had it was for my 15th birthday a decade ago). I almost cried when I saw what was in the box. You are ALL amazing and I will be recommending you to everyone I know! Edit: I just saw a yelp review where the celebrant’s mom called and asked Soma to use her personal recipe so her daughter could have a cake that tastes like home - and they did it. I mean WHO DOES THAT?!! This place is an absolute GEM, and deserves all the fame I’m sure they will get in the future. Wow!!

They did a really great job on making an Italian rainbow cookie cake with a picture on top. The look and taste were just right! Also, they were very courteous during the whole process and accomodated all of my requests.
