Satura Cakes

“The cakes themselves are works of art. They are beautiful and delicious. Satura Cakes are always very fresh and not overly sweet—just a little and it’s just right. It’s a treat visually and to the taste buds.”

“The cake was beautiful and delicious…and looked exactly like we planned for it to look. They have this cool mixture of French and Japanese flavors and presentation. Satura exceeded my expectations.”

“…sublimely wonderful.”

“Not only are their desserts divine and beautifully made they also had top-notch customer service. I loved that they had small dessert options and large cake ideas. The small desserts and cakes were fresh, tasty, and beautiful!”

“I loved their cake. I’m not a cake person and this was the only cake I wanted.”

“The cake was very fresh and looked flawless. It was perfect! I really loved the taste as well. It was not too sweet nor covered in pounds of frosting. It was moist, light, and very delicious.”

Satura Cakes was founded by Hironobu Tamaki, a Japanese entrepreneur and cake lover who found himself working in Silicon Valley in the 1990s and dearly missing Japanese-style cakes. With guidance and recipes from Masahito Motohashi, one of the top pastry chefs in Japan, Hiro eventually created Satura Cakes.

Just what distinguishes Japanese-style baking? One of the wedding professionals we talked to explained, “Their attention to detail is meticulous. They also have a wonderful variety to their cakes; they aren’t like most American cakes you can find. They’re lighter than most and still very flavorful; I think that says a lot about the quality of their ingredients.” The Japanese style also tends to be lightly sweet.
