Since several students have different food allergies, I shared the allergy information from their teacher with Cake Girl. They responded first thing the next morning and took the time to double-check everything, which gave me so much peace of mind. Pickup was easy, everything was ready on time, and the lady who helped me was so nice. I tried a cupcake myself and it was delicious! My favorite moment was at school when the teacher told one little boy, "You can have one too!" His eyes immediately lit up and he looked SO happy. It made me so happy knowing everyone could be included and enjoy the same treat. And most importantly, the second graders loved the cupcakes! Thank you, Cake Girl, for being so thoughtful and accommodating. We'll definitely be back!

Every time I stop by, they greet everyone with genuine smiles, kindness, and such positive energy. It's refreshing to see how well they interact with every guest and how much they truly seem to care about making each visit special. Their customer service is consistently outstanding, and they always make me feel welcomed and appreciated. I'll admit, I probably stop by more often than I should (don't judge me! ), but it's honestly because the experience is just as sweet as the desserts. They always leave me smiling. Thank you, Climmiesha and Ariel, for making every visit such a great one. You both are a huge reason I look forward to coming back. Keep being amazing!

Cakes- Although initially the cakes were on the heavier / sweeter side than expected, the staff…read moreshared which cakes were sweeter, used cream cheese frosting vs buttercream, were more moist (even after a couple days), etc. Our favorite has been the Red Velvet- moist, cream cheese frosting, and not as sweet. You cannot go wrong with any of the cakes if you inherently like coconut, lemon, carrot cakes, birthday, and others (seasonal favorite is berry cake- Light, buttercream frosting, fresh berries, the best!) However, indulging in the cakes is not the main reason we come here. The people who open and close the store, who make the cakes, place them tantalizingly on the shelves, have dog treats/samples available, and the ability to somehow uplift any depressing mood (esp. our chemotherapy treatment days) and even my Shiba Inu's day, are the reason we chose this location. Cici (shortened) has done it all and has gone above and beyond to even greet Rufus, our dog as we walk past the store to give him a treat. She remembers what cake my mom enjoyed during chemotherapy, and always lifted our moods. I don't leave reviews on service, usually the food is what's important. This is one exception where I need to echo other reviewer sentiments that CiCi, Lucia, and Dennis have made this location our go to location because their professionalism, hard work, friendliness, empathy are all palpable. Thank you Cici, Lucia and Dennis for the cakes and cupcakes, (even making a cream cheese frosting cupcake instead of buttercream on the spot, because we asked). Cici we are grateful for sharing your time with Rufus as he has a new friend in DTLA. Moreover, for your kindness and ability to always sweeten and uplift even our roughest days.

There's a self serving kiosk but I crashed at some point when we were looking through our choices. We ended up having the worker help us. They helped me choose my flavor because I was debating on either smores or banana. I'm glad I ended up with banana! Banana(8/10): The cake part basically tasted like banana bread and it was quite delicious! As much as I enjoyed it, I thought the frosting was overly sweet. I would still choose that flavor if I were to choose again! Protein(0/10): I thought the whole thing was very dry and it didn't help with the frosting being overly sweet. Definitely, will not be choosing this again. Service(10/10): They were kind and helpful! I accidentally dropped my cupcake and I was devastated! I asked if they were ok with switching it out and luckily they allowed it! I was very grateful for the worker that helped us! Overall, a place worth trying especially for their service!

The sweet bread is pretty good too, don't get me wrong, but the tamales are what they've been known for. The chicken, cheese, and pineapple tamales are especially good - those are the ones to get, no doubt. Yea, wait times can be long, especially during the holidays when they get super busy, so be aware of that. You'll need to be especially patient if that's when you decide to come. But, there IS a reason this place has been in business all these years.

Fyi - it's located on the second floor right next to CPK. It's a small cake shop that can handle a few customers at a time so be patient if you're coming with a group or if it's busy. The employee we interacted with was nice and more than willing to answer any/all questions. We even got to try a free sample of their chocolate cake while we looked everything over. You can build your own customizable cake if you're adventurous with plenty of toppings to choose from. They also have signature cakes if you get overwhelmed and want to keep it simple. My better half and I shared a Strawberry Shortcake. We were both surprised by how good it is! A perfectly moist and tasty treat! They also write your name on the cake box so you can take pics and humblebrag to your friends/family. We like that all the cakes are individual-sized so it's not too heavy. Bonus points for having a lot of gluten-free options! Hope Peace of Cake continues to be successful! They also have online ordering/pick-up available.

I usually only buy matcha in K-Town because it is the only place where I have consistently found…read morehigh-quality matcha. However, I decided to give this café a try because East LA cafés are rare, and I wanted to support this particular business. I ordered a matcha, a coffee for my sister, and a few baked goods. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. The matcha was poor quality, the coffee was mediocre, and the baked goods tasted like items from Ralphs or Costco. They seemed almost stale, were clearly not baked in-house, and lacked everything you'd expect from a baked item from a café. What was especially frustrating was that the matcha et al. is priced as if it were ceremonial grade, despite the quality being far below that standard. The bakery items are prepackaged products arranged to fit the café's aesthetic rather than freshly made offerings. The space itself is cute, and the woman who helped us was very kind. However, the quality of the food and drinks simply does not justify the prices. I really wanted to like this place and support a local East LA café, but the overall experience fell FAR short of expectations.
