Annie is the sweetest! She was so easy to work with and I love how she helped bring my vision to life. My dad loved the design for his birthday cupcakes and the whole party enjoyed the taste. I would recommend her to everyone!

Hello kitty / K-pop demon hunter, vanilla funfetti flavored cake.

Annie, did an awesome job pulling off a hello kitty/ K-pop demon hunter mashup cake for my daughter's 5th birthday. She even went the extra mile and coordinated delivery during a time the shop was closed. Would definitely recommend butter-lab for cakes. Ours was vanilla funfetti flavored and everyone loved it, just wish we would have had more leftovers. Thanks Annie!

Ube Crinkle Cookies
Jessica H.

Annie is the sweetest! I was in a pinch for my baby shower cake and she came through! She understood exactly what I was looking for. The guests loved the taste of the cake too! Not only is she great with cakes but the crinkle cookies are amazing! It is my guilty pleasure. I am pretty picky with cookies and the way she nails it... it's amazing. They are the perfect amount of flavor where it is not overpowering or overly sweet. The softness is perfect too and the cookie doesn't get hard the next day. Definitely make sure to try it if a shop has these or just order from Butter Lab directly! Definitely worth it and you won't regret it.

Annie with Butter-Lab is such a joy to work with. I ordered a cake from her for my son's 100 day bday celebration and she was able to take my vision and bring it to life! She had great communication the whole process from beginning to end. And her cake was beautiful and not too sweet!

Annie did the most beautifulllll and elegant cake for my birthday. She listened to what i like, the color tone that i want, discussed the flavors, we sent her some inspo pics and SHE NAILED IT. The cake is exactly how i envisioned it to be. Everybody LOVED the cake. It is DELICIOUS. Annie personally went to get the fresh flowers the morning of, they go so well with the cake. I can't be more happy with how the cake turned out. Annie, thank you!! Annie also makes the most delicious pandan cheesecake. Everybody - It's a MUST TRY. Trust me.

The top tier had ube halaya filling and it was so good!

I had less than a week before my event and had to order a cake fast and Annie was so responsive and accomodating! The process was pretty simple and everything went smoothly. She delivered the cake on time and provided the best customer service. I cant thank her enough. Everyone had a slice of heaven eating the beautiful cake she made. I would definitely recommend Butter-lab if you're looking for that special cake for your event!

Birthday cake inspired by Beauty and the Beast

Annie was a delight, very accommodating, and was quick in replying. She brought to life a cake my daughter wanted for her birthday. The details, piping, and flavors were amazing, and she also provided delivery which was a lovely bonus! We gave her crinkle cookies (ube and rose-raspberry) as party favors and they were a hit! Thank you for making her birthday so unforgettable!

50 Numbers Cake

At first I had no clue that this was the same company that bakes the pandan and ube crinkle cookies from Bone Kettle, but luckily Butter-Lab popped up when I began researching cakes for my father's 50th birthday. I knew I had to work with Annie because her cookies are delicious! Annie really went all out and was able to create a beautiful "50" cake along with a sheet cake. It not only looked beautiful, but it tasted amazing! I went with ube cake with cream cheese frosting. I also purchased cookies (of course) and ube bars. Again, super yummy! Will definitely purchase in the future to try the other desserts and flavors. I highly recommend. Thank you so much for helping make the celebration special!

Annie was great to work with - she made the perfect "mermaid-y" mini cupcakes for our daughter's birthday party! They looked gorgeous and magical - and most importantly tasted amazing. AND even more importantly, all the kids were delighted by how they looked and so excited to eat them. (Also me and my friends are now obsessed with the Ube crinkle cookies! Sooo special and good!) Definite recommend!

Mini crinkle cookies assorted flavors sold at Cloverleaf Coffee & Bakery.

I had Butter Lab's ube crinkle cookie for the first time from Bone Kettle restaurant in Pasadena. And oh my goodness I was hoookedddd!!! The flavor is so rich but not overpowering. And they taste naturally flavored, not artificial. And the consistency, it's like a mix between a brownie and a chewy cookie! Pro tip: if you toast it, they get warm and the outside becomes crusty too!! They're easily my favorite thing!! Since then, I've tried all the different flavors from either Bone Kettle or Cloverleaf Coffee & Bakery. My favorite is still ube!! Followed by pandan coconut, and thai tea!! Have also tried black sesame and matcha, both of which are also great! Also, try their ube blondie too! If I ever host a big event after pandemic is over, I will definitely trust Butter Lab to provide desserts and little give-away cookie gift bags for my guests!

Fabulously delicious cake!!!

Annie made my daughter's joint rainbow birthday party increbibly special! She decorated the individual birthday kid's cake with beautiful rainbows that they adored. She also made the most deliecious sheet cake for the whole party. We had leftovers and I thought how will I ever finish this. I literally ate a piece every day until it was gone. I know where I am ordering my own birthday cake this year! I love love the buter cream icing and the texture of her cakes. You will not be disappointed!! And she is super sweet and easy to work with.

We couldn't be happier with the beautiful cake from Takes the Cake Pasadena for Naomi's 80th…read morebirthday! 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!

The team at Takes the Cake was so easy to work with and made me the most delicious wedding cake!!!…read more It was allllll gone and we had enough cake for 70 guests but only 58 at the wedding ;) We went with carrot cake with cream cheese frosting, chocolate with cherry, and lemon with raspberry mousse. My mouth is watering as I type this out!

Is it pricy - yes Is the quality there - 100%…read more One of the best cake I've got in the 626 area by taste. Definitely pricy but the quality is there. 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 cake was amazingly beautiful! It was a light chiffon cake with chocolate cream on the outside…read moreand inside. 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!
