This is our go-to bakery! The staff is always helpful, and the cakes are always delicious! The family favorite for birthdays is definitely the chocolate ganache cake. The cake is consistently moist and the icing is nice and fluffy. I always recommend this place to friends. It's a bit of a drive being in OC but so worth it! read more

I came in for a customized Chivas themed birthday cake. Inside there were not many people yet, but it all looked tidy and clean. The staff was very attentive and friendly. After requesting to place an order for a cake I would need the next day the staff was more than happy to accept my order. Originally, I would have liked to order a carrot cake but those cakes need to be ordered at least a week in advance so that was very much my fault. I ended up going with a classic tres leches cake which tasted wonderful. Miriam was the one to help me out. Bonus points for having the same name ;) Miriam made great detailed questions to make sure the cake was exactly what I wanted it to be referencing off a picture I had showed her as inspiration. From size all the way down to the smallest details, Miriam disclosed information about how certain designs or details I wanted would change the presentation of the cake, and made sure I was delightlfuly satisfied with what would be the result. She broke down every last detail including how the icing would likely stain our mouths and very nicely reassured me that it would rise right off with water swishes. Overall I was incredibly satisfied with the service I was given, and I greatly appreciate how Miriam thought about every question in order to complete my desired vision. read more

I've been to Candlelight Bakery a few times over the years and have always enjoyed their tres leches cake; it's usually pretty good. Unfortunately, my most recent visit was a completely different experience and honestly left a bad taste in my mouth. I stopped by one morning because I was craving a ham and cheese croissant. Yelp showed this bakery in my search results, so I decided to swing by. When I got there, they didn't have any croissants -- just cakes, cookies, and a few sweet pastries. That was fine, but what really turned me off was the service. There were a few people waiting for cake pre-orders. One of the cash registers didn't have a line, so I stood there for a bit, but no one acknowledged me. I eventually moved to the other line and waited my turn. When I got to the front, the cashier asked if I had a pre-order. I said no, I just wanted to grab a few cookies. Instead of helping me, she told me to hold on and went straight to the person behind me to ask if they had a pre-order -- and then asked, in a rude tone, "Who was here first?" as if I had cut the line. Thankfully, the person behind me spoke up and said I was there first. I bought a few custard cream puffs and sugar elephant cookies, but sadly, they weren't worth it. The cream puffs tasted stale and the cookies tasted store-bought. After this experience, I don't think I'll be coming back. read more

Our go-to cake for my son has always been the Ganache Chocolate cake. However, this time, I decided to try the Oreo Cake. The same chocolate cake with Oreo cream filling, which is both moist and super yummy. Plus, it's not overly sweet. I also bought the Tre Leche cake to try out. OMG! It's incredibly moist and my family approved. It's been a while since I've had a Tre Leche cake, and I must say, it's a real treat. The staff here is friendly and efficient even though today is Father's Day. read more

I've gotten the a lot of the ready made cakes + treats over the years and everything is always fantastic, so when I needed a custom cake they were my first choice to call!

Not much of a selection... stopped in to grab some cookies. The bakery has a great reputation for their cakes and we were in the area so we stopped in! There weren't a lot of cookies to choose from.. we grabbed several and they were all mediocre.. really wanted to love this place :( review is based simply on cookies. The staff was friendly tho! read more

Can't get enough of that chocolate ganache cake. Been coming back here for years. It's on the pricey side. Servers are always polite .The place is small so not so much to stick around and eat the goodies. read more

My wife ordered this cake for my daughter's birthday. It was a solid option. Cake was moist and fresh and the frosting wasn't overbearing or overly sweet. I want to try their tres leches next, see if they can get to 5 stars. read more

Sent my sister inside to get some cake for my mom's bday two days ago. Can't speak on the service because I didn't go inside but it was quick and she came out with this Choco flan which I believe was only like $20-$30. It was pretty good, but I'm Filipino and the flan obviously tasted different because it's Mexican flan and not as sweet with a slight texture change. It was aesthetically pleasing to look at too. read more

Cakes are amazing! I have a family member who only buys from here. I went to a birthday party and they had white cake with strawberries!

Our go to when we are in need of the Mil Hojas cake requested by a few of my family members! You can't beat the quality, taste and price. They have several options for custom orders and have ready to go options available as well. You can't go wrong with a mil hojas, it's so fresh and light. read more

The service was great! I called on the same day I needed a cake, and they had quite a variety ready for pickup up. I purchased the tres leches cake, and next time, I'll have them add a light layer of whipped cream since this cake comes with a thick top layer. read more

Been coming here for years! Our go to for all celebrations. Had a family bday last week and picked up a red velvet cake. SO disappointed it was red and that's it I don't know what happened with the flavor and texture but it was a total miss. It had NO flavor whatsoever. Most of it was tossed in the trash as ppl just took a couple of bites. Don't k know if I'll ever go back. What a waste of money read more

We ordered a cake from my favorite spot, been coming here for over seven years and they never disappoint. Whatever design I give them for the theme always looks better than they idea, not to mention the cake always tastes great, everyone always wants to know where I order my cakes from. Even though I moved to Moreno Valley this is still my spot. Thank you again Candlelight bakery for always having the best tasting and the best looking cakes read more

Where do I start off by saying that this bakery has been my go to ever since I met my mother-in-law she put me on it is local to us and the staff is always very friendly and there is multiple options and if you need something to grab and go they always have a couple cakes that are ready and they just add a birthday topper for you if you need it or whatever the occasion may be for you. I've tried multiple of their cake flavors and I love them all. They're never dry and their frosting isn't too sweet which lets you enjoy the cake. Within the flavors, I've tried has been red velvet chocolate three milks, Choco flan, simple vanilla. And they have plenty of other treats that you can also buy like some yummy cannoli or macaroons. They also do custom cakes and personally I have never ordered a custom one, but my mother-in-law has and they always have them at the time she arranged to pick them up and they always do a great job. Pricing is reasonable in my opinion compared to other bakeries. read more

My darling co-workers brought me a cake and some thumbprint cookies from here. The cookies were tender, buttery, & very tasty. The Napoleon Cake was pretty & delicious. The base was a moist vanilla cake and the top was a slightly crispy mille-feuille topped with whipped cream, fresh strawberries, sliced peaches, & pineapple. It was light and not too sweet. My co-workers and I enjoyed these yummy treats. If I'm in the area, I'd like to try their other goodies. read more

They were friendly, bakery was basic, no frills. This review is strictly for the cookies. We were looking for a local bakery to try some fresh cookies. These cookies left much to be desired. We have this bakery a try because we had heard good reviews about their cakes. The only good cookie was the apricot thumbprint cookie. The rest of the cookies were completely tasteless. read more

My fiance got a chocolate ganache cake as a birthday gift from his sister. It's been in the fridge for a day and we got to trying it today. Id rank it as the best cake I've ever had. It was moist and the perfect amount of chocolatey but not too sweet. The whipped cream on top was delicious too. Can't pick a favorite part of the cake because I loved every part of it. Even the strawberry on top was tasty and fresh. read more

Came here for the first time on 12/14 to buy a cake for my sister and I. The customer service here was a 10000/10 from the moment I walked in. The workers were so friendly and nice! I let them know it was my first time here and had called ahead of time to see what cakes they had available for a same day pickup. Luckily I got exactly what I wanted. A classic vanilla with half strawberry and half peach filling. It was delicious!!! Everyone loved it. A sweet lady let my nephew and I sample the tres leches fruity pebbles they had and that was so bomb! I will definitely be back next year, thank you for the amazing experience and delicious cake. read more

Their flan, mil hojas, and chocolate ganache cakes are great, but I would not recommend this place for sheet cake orders. Perhaps it was my fault for not being specific enough, but I chose this place specifically because this location is considered an artistic bakery, or at least I thought so. The girl on the phone said the writing on the cake is up to their standards, and that they can't write any larger than what is displayed on the photo. I paid $110 for this half sheet cake only for it to look like this and the cake itself had more cream than actual cake. I was left really disappointed. read more

This review is just for the Chocoflan. "Not all chocoflan is created equal." - my sister She brought this over to Thanksgiving and it was so good! I don't have a sweet tooth but, still enjoyed it. Now...fast forward to January 2024. It's my MIL's birthday. I tasked myself with the cake because, I trust me more than anyone else. My husband said "I'd feel better if you called and ordered ahead." My smart sister (above) told me the same. So I did. We show up at the time I said we would be there... We (I) were running behind and of course I needed to finish my makeup SO I had my husband run in. Uh oh - cake can't be found. She asked him if I called the right place. Of course I did! Luckily, there was another cake. They apologized and it turned out just fine. In the middle of dinner, I get a call that said "we have your cake, we close at ___, what time will you be here?" AWKWARD. read more

Had high hopes but when I ordered the thres leches came it was horrible. Completely dry! Nobody ate it , it wasn't fresh to the point where it was a struggle to cut through the cake. Horrible experience, a waste of money $40! Never again. read more

Came in to order a cake 2 weeks ago for my kids bday party last Sunday morning. Clean spot walked in only 1 customer, also ordering a cake. Then it was my turn, although the young lady wasn't rude, she was just very short and annoyed about our questions for the design. She pulled out a book for pricing and she got upset when I asked about the cost being higher than what the book said. She got very upset (again not rude with her words) but with her tone of voice and demeanor just changing with the eyes rolling. Sorry we saw a different price on YOUR OWN BOOK. She explained it and made sense but it was her attitude that didn't help. Almost anything we suggested for the cake wasn't available or they couldn't do. Keep in mind it was a sports football theme party. She asked what time we would like to pick it up and said they opened at 10am so we said 10-10:30 she then said the earliest she had was 11. So why even ask? Just tell us. Said they couldn't have it ready Saturday night for us. Just overall a negative experience. I don't expect the red carpet but basic service would be nice. No big deal here just yet.... Until Sunday when it was time to pick up the cake, they have our pick up person the hardest time ever. Kept asking him for dimensions and design after he gave them our name and number for pick up. He couldn't get a hold of us because we were at the kids bday party and we couldn't answer the phones. Just ruined our cake experience and wasted extra time. So they got recommended to try this place for their cakes. Although the cake tasted good, the design wasn't of my taste. They couldn't make a normal pretty basic football field design. The value is not worth the hassle or taste. Definitely don't recommend It based just on my experience. We all have off days, maybe it wasn't their day when I ordered or when we tried picking up. Again cake tasted good, it was the service and just overall Bad experience on pick up day. delaying our bday cake cutting for our kids, We were on a time limit at the venue we were at. I guess that's on me but really they wanted identification or the metrics or the day of pick up. Luckily I didn't go and didn't find out until a few days after. That service is 0 stars. read more

Ordered a gender reveal cake last minute. (took 2 hours to come back and get it) my husband and I didn't expect nothing fancy because it was short notice and we were already eager enough to find out the gender. It was cute and simple just like how we wanted and they made our moment special. If I were to recommend a place for cakes this is your spot. Although it does get packed and busy so be prepared to wait. read more

I've been going to Candle Light Bakery for a few years now, and they never disappoint! My absolute favorite filling combo is strawberries, bananas, and their creamy custard -- all mixed together, it's pure heaven. This past weekend, we celebrated my daughter's baby shower and ordered a cake to match the theme: "On Cloud 9" The cake was not only beautiful but hands down the most delicious cake we've ever had! It was a total hit with everyone -- I just had to finally leave a review (long overdue!). Here's a picture of our gorgeous cake made by Candle Light Bakery, beautifully worded: "We are on Cloud 9 welcoming baby Jocelyn" read more

Ordered a 2 tiered cake for my aunt's 80th Birthday and Retirement and it turned out beautifully. It was a simple designed cake with fresh roses, macarons, and ribbon. The top layer was vanilla cake with whipped cream frosting and fresh strawberries. The bottom layer was marble cake with custard filling. My family loved how the cake turned out, not only was it gorgeous but it tasted good too. I ordered the cake 1 week in advance and was so happy with the customer service received. They gave careful instructions regarding the fresh flowers for the cake. Also when picking up the cake, the staff boxed the cake appropriately and helped carry the cake to the car. read more

The milhoja cake is so yummy! The cake is so light and the frosting is the right amount of light and sweetness.

Was craving something sweet while shopping at the market next door and decided to give this place a try. At the time that I walked in they only had a limited assortment of pastries left. None of them really caught my attention except for some macarons which were a little too sweet, overpriced and a limited selection. I wish they offered slices of cake in case we want to sample them. Service is a little slow they had a long line with people waiting to grab a number so that they can be called on. Almost like at a meat market when you have to grab a ticket so they know who got there first. The ambiance is blehh, no where to sit and enjoy your pastry is a little small inside, and nothing too special. I would like to be back to try the custard cream puffs if they have any left that is! read more

Updating my review to 5 stars. I've been here so many times now because their cakes are delicious. Chocolate Ganache Cake - is our go to. The cake is so moist and fluffy. The ganache cream is not too sweet and goes so well with the cake. Cookies & Cream cake - is very similar to the chocolate ganache, except the cream is different. Again, this is a solid choice for any chocolate lover. Napoleon cake - Wow!! The top layer is the flaky layers and the bottom is a vanilla sponge cake. There is also fruit on top. I loved this cake so much! I've also tried their cookies and cupcakes, which are all tasty as well. read more
