Lily D.

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.

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! They did an absolutely incredible job - it's nearly identical to the inspiration picture I provided and the cake was delicious as always! Highly recommend

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

Tres Leches

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.

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.

TinaMarie K.

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.

Maritza L.

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

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… 

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!

Very happy with the service I have received the last two times I have come here. I ordered a 10in…read morecake for a baby shower in July. The theme was Bridgerton so I wanted it to be somewhat regal looking. The mama to be had a color scheme of Tiffany blue so we chose that color for the cake and I had a specific topping in mind which they easily created there. The second cake was a half sheet Rio (bird movie) themed cake for my kids in early September. They had one of those books that had premade ideas for kids cake so I chose one of those themes and then added my own cake topper since the movie is so old they no longer have the topping toys available. Both cakes were marble flavor with a strawberry filling. Both cakes were also reasonably priced. The 10in was $60 and the half sheet was $100ish. I can't remember exactly but something around there. But other than that it's very easy to order your cake. You can do it over the phone or in person. I prefer to walk in since I live nearby and because I usually have a picture of a cake I would like them to use as inspiration and they always execute it perfectly like the picture. The gentleman there who usually takes the orders will work with you if they cannot do something and give you other options too. Overall very happy with the cakes I've gotten from here and will definitely keep coming back here.

I showed her the design, sent my file of the books image I wanted. Together we figured it would be best to design it a certain way, which was a wrap of the books and plain on the top with the number 13. She was very accommodating and said they can make it. At the end we had a cake with minor problems. The book design at the top was not even and one side didn't completely reach. Like it was rushed but overall it was okay. It had the main theme "The Summer I turned Pretty" and my daughter's favorite books on the side. The 3 on thirteen don't really look like a 3, but it worked. I paid $180 for the cake please make it look complete. As far as the taste, the fresh strawberries on white cake tasted great. The fondant was a printed piece. It fed more than 40 people and had extra.

Small cozy store with friendly counter to order what you want. Senorita bread came out quick and warm. Had to eat one in the car before leaving.

Starbread! Their Spanish bread is the one thing that most of the folks go there for. And they get a bunch of them because it is really easy to pop these in your mouth and keep going, and going, and going - much like King's Hawaiian Rolls, they are so soft and fluffy, you don't really know how much you've eaten until you've got at least 4 down in your belly. There's a discount section for older bread and pastries, but I am not sure when they get put out. Also to note, if you want a box, you're going to have to buy at least 15 pieces. I bought 10 and asked for a box and the lady flat out told me no. I can understand if it was the policy, but there was a little bit of attitude in the response. And for a place that supposedly pumps these things out, it kind took her a while to get some from the back and come back with them. So docking a star for service, but still coming back.

I love visiting this place…read more Not sure if it's the nostalgia or just the great options to choose from whether you want a cool pick me up or hungry for a savory pastry. Most recently we visited on 10/2 for the debut of their new salt bread line and matcha line! Got to try 5 new flavors of salt bread and boy were they yummy. It was just me and my husband so we were tempted to buy more but we could only eat so much bread in a day ahhahaa We got the double matcha strawberry and it was refreshing. You could tell they use fresh strawberries to make their puree and it was the perfect balance with their matcha- finished it so fast should've gotten 2 Came back on 10/4 (2 days later) bc I couldn't stop thinking about the salt bread and wanted to try more flavors... my husband was like again?? Lol. Got the double strawberry matcha, 4 pastries, and the kimchi tuna melt. Take all my money hahaha Irene helped us out and she was soo friendly and nice!! She brought out our sandwich to us and we heard her greet everyone who walked in the Cafe. Will be back soooon!! Check out their new bread and drink options, you won't be disappointed

I can't speak for the bread, but I got a matcha drink and it was pretty mediocre for the price…read morepoint. The matcha taste was not very strong and it mostly tasted like milk. This is a decent study spot since it's spacious but it gets pretty crowded and loud. I would come back to try their bread, but I would not get the matcha again
