After contacting several bakeries, they were the only one confident enough to recreate our cake design--with incredible attention to detail and without relying on stencils for the bottom tier. They truly brought our vision to life. The cake was absolutely gorgeous and became one of the highlights of the celebration. It wasn't just beautiful--it tasted amazing too! The White Cake with Strawberry Mousse and Lemon Cake with Raspberry Mousse were both huge hits with our guests. The cake was incredibly moist, soft, and perfectly fluffy without being overly airy. Best of all, it was not overly sweet, allowing the delicious flavors to really shine. They also delivered the cake on time, making the entire experience stress-free. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how beautiful and delicious the cake was. Thank you, Takes the Cake Pasadena, for helping make Naomi's 80th birthday so special. We will definitely be ordering from you again! Thank you MS Lynn!

Now, the flavorfulcakes are pricey. I would always get my cakes for all my events, however, the increase of cost has gone past my price point. I don't shop there as often as I used to.

If I didn't move to San Diego, she would still be my consistent cake lady. I absolutely love her! When I first ordered, she had followed-up asking if the cakes were up to par with the taste and if they lasted well. I had to say, not only was it pretty to look at - it didn't taste bad either! Usually it's a sacrifice for one or the other! I've ordered over 6+ cakes with her and will definitely continue whenever I'm in the area. The amount of buttercream flavoring choices and real fruit used inside the cake... you really can't go wrong if you order from Karena!

We ordered the black sesame cake for my wife's bday. Overall, great presentation, good taste, easy pickup. The cake was fluffy, the cream was light , not overly sweet, and well balanced by nuts and raisins. Maybe the nuts and raisins were a bit over (some might argue it was too much texture). Will definitely be back to try other flavors

The cream/frosting is not very sugary, so it's great if you don't like super sweet cakes, but you might be disappointed if you like the more traditional American buttercream frosting (this is about 25% as sweet, which we loved). When it says that there are nuts in the filling, there are a lot of nuts! Hazelnuts, pecans, and almonds. The candied walnuts on the outside were super delicious along with the peanut candy blocks (grounds peanuts and sugar molded into blocks which reminded me of old Asian peanut candy). We also modified the cake to leave out the dried fruit (cranberries and raisins). My only negative comments was regarding service. When I showed up to pick up the cake, no one was at the front of the store. The workers were busy in the back. When they saw me, they did not acknowledge me and kept on with their work. Even when I called out for assistance, they ignored me and kept doing their assigned work. Finally, after many calls for assistance, the person working closest to the front called to someone in the back who came out to help me.

Wow, surprisingly this wonderful, beautiful, clean bakery is still around…read more We ordered our son's baptism cake from them back in 1996 - a year after the opening of their business. It was a huge success. Everyone was talking about how yummy and creamy the cake was. Even until today. My kid is now 30. Today's visit however was for a different cause. I went in to order a cake for my friend and her husband's 30th wedding anniversary. Got a very nice, pleasant greeting from Angie - the owner herself. Let me not forget to say that this is a family owned business & is run smoothly. After Angie showed me multiple cakes, I went with a two tier cake to be decorated with small yellow flowers all around the cake. The bottom to be nice and round, and the top to be slightly smaller. I chose strawberries and lemon for the fillings with Bavarian cream. One of the best fillings/cream. It's expensive, but very tasty. On the top I asked for just a regular frosting. Estimated time was given between 24 to 48 hours to pick up the cake. The writing on the top to say "Congratulations on your 30th Anniversary!". Since I knew which flavors and colors they liked, I chose accordingly. They also do catering, delivery, and pick up. They not only sell cakes, but all types of pastries and cupcakes. Various colors & GF options. Fresh ingredients cost a bit more. Every penny is worth it. I had their cakes few other times for other occasions. They customize your cakes according to your liking, preferences and specifications. They can also make nice baskets for any event along with selling knives, spatulas, and candles. I can't RAVE enough about this Cakery Bakery. It's seriously that GOOD!! Only inside seating, and also sell hot and cold beverages of any kind. Street parking only. Go give this place a try, and you will thank me later. Thank you Angela, and team. 10/10!

Milk substitutions are free of charge. Matcha Latte - Pretty sweet. It's good, but you can taste the sweetener more than the matcha. The matcha flavor is pretty subtle, in my opinion. Iced Honeycomb Latte (Oat Milk) - Strong espresso flavor without being bitter. It has honeycomb on top. I enjoyed this more than the matcha latte. Egg Sandwiches - They're tasty, but nothing special. The plain egg sandwich doesn't really taste like much and wasn't very seasoned. The okonomiyaki one has more flavor.
