Tiffany M.

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!

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.

Choco Flan
Dexter B.

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.

I ordered a half a sheet, chocolate cake with strawberries   inside.

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

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.

Hate the writing. No effort just dull.

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.

Chocolate fudge
Virginia S.

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.

Napoleon Cake
Nikki B.

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.

Ordered my baby shower cake and gender reveal cake here! Sooo good! I'll be ordering another cake for the holidays!

Gender Reveal Cake

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.

Vanilla cake, with half strawberry and half peach filling. Almonds on the sides, 10/10 recommend. Very airy spongy cake not too heavy.
Laina O.

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.

Horchata cupcake
Martin N.

candlelight bakery is the spot for birthday cakes and cupcakes. I get this all chocolate cake that my family loves and we try to get on every birthday. They have this Horchata cupcake to die for service is excellent. Very clean establishment highly recommend this spot. They also do custom cakes, wedding cakes and they have so much other things to choose from as in desserts and pastries. Check them out won't be disappointed.

Chocolate ganache cake
Cayley D.

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.

Best cake ever

Mexican Chocolate Cheesecake when? It's been over 5 years since you've had it and nothing comes close to equaling it's decadence. Please bring it back - it's one of the few things that brought joy into my life. :(

Do they have gluten free cakes?

Is there cake tasting when placing an order?

You know what, I have not done any cake tasting... I only buy there bake goods... You should ask them ...

Are they open during Coronavirus quarantine?

No, they aren't. :( All of their locations have been closed "until further notice" as of March 27, 2020. Check them out on IG @candlelightbakery for updates. Be well.

Does anyone know their website? It seems like the one listed candlelightbakery.net is no longer operational.

That's a good one Sorry but I don't

I just really want to know why they even have a phone when they don't pick up? I called NINE times. Picture attached

Yes, they have one phone line but are an extremely busy bakery. They do not do consultations or orders over the phone, so if that's what you're looking for, you will have to stop by.

Do they use frozen/ready made whipped cream?

How much for 1 dz cupcakes?

I just ordered their horchata cupcakes a few weeks ago and it was $2.00 per cupcake, so $24.00 a dozen.

I am looking for a gluten free cake. Does anyone know if they bake gluten free cakes?

Can anyone rate their 'Tres Leches'? 1-5 scale, 5 = Best

Definitely a 5! I usually don't like tres leches because everywhere else I had it is too soggy. It's perfect here and their cakes are always fresh. I'm sure you'll love it! :)

Do any of the locations serve Italian rainbow cookies?

Unfortunately they don't :(

Do you make cakes for dogs? Sounds super extra but doesn't hurt to ask.

If I'm not mistaken, they do not make dog cakes. I recommend PJ's Pet Cafe on 7th St in Long Beach :)

Do they have fruit tart cakes?

I have never seen a big fruit tart so maybe by special order? If walking in, they do have a napoleon cake which is the closest thing. There is a lot of fruit and custard and crispy pastry inside. It's good however it's not a traditional fruit tart… Read more

Hi, Would it be too late to order a fondant cake for Saturday. I need it to feed approx. 20 people.?

Hopefully, you always mean 'next' Saturday

Do you sell a Star Wars themed cake?

I'm pretty sure they can make anything. They were able to make me a beach theme bridal cake. Good luck!

HONEY BAKERY is a nondescript little shop that sits in an old strip mall, and to give you an idea…read moreof how good it is, they've NEVER had to make upgrades to their decor to increase appeal--it's exactly the same as it's been since the 80s. I've always loved walking in there, inhaling the oven-fresh aromas like a FIEND, ever since I was in grade school-- I'll turn 51 in a few days. You have ONE slice of their special occasion shortcakes (strawberry, mango, and I think one more variety), and you instantly become a new customer--this has been their calling card for DECADES, and they EXPONENTIALLY grow their clientele with each cake sold (potentially a new customer per slice). Their customers are SO loyal that--as far as I can tell--Honey Bakery isn't even on social media--word-of-mouth, even in 2026, is all that's needed--their baked goods speak for themselves. I highly-recommend their MILK BREAD (you'll be willing to make a special trip here, SOLELY to pick up a bag or two)--if you're a bread-lover, you'll find their freshly+baked loaves to smell intoxicating, and let's see if you can stop yourself from snacking on JUST one slice, right out of the bag....they're REALLY addictive. They come THICK- and THIN-SLICED, but thick especially sells out quickly by mid-morning, so CALL AHEAD & RESERVE your order. As I was reminded by reading another customer's review, payment is CASH-ONLY.

This review is mainly for their pastries, since I also haven't tried their cakes in a while, but…read morepresumably those are still good. Every time I've gotten a pastry from here in the last 5-8 years they have slowly gotten more and more dense lol. I only ate one pastry, but this pastry had maybe 100 solid layers and I feel like I just stuffed my self at KBBQ... I miss old soft pastry. I used to love their pork sung pastry too, but now it's a pork sung dense bread with a pastry blanket on top. This is a mom and pop shop so I feel like they either hired a new baker or one took over and has a taste for very dense bread and textures... honestly texture is not bad, but way too filling and heavy for me.
