    Quarter sheet cake.
    Nancy F.

    My favorite cake to order for any occasion/everyone's birthdays Every one is always so surprised and end up loving the cake Pictured is a quarter sheet cake with strawberries and cream inside (can feed 30 people) Custom print picture on cake. Everything is edible! 1. Call and ask for a custom cake with picture printed on top. Or you can go to the store to place the order 2. Pick between vanilla, chocolate, or marble (mix of both) sponge cake 3. Pick the fruit to go inside 4. Pick a color for the icing/frosting. They can match the color to whatever you like 5. Send the picture you want on the cake to Happybakery1@gmail.com 6. If ordering the cake the day of (same day order), you must bring a printed picture into the store. If you order at least 1 day ahead, you can just email the picture to their email Happybakery1@gmail.com

    The best part of Yelp is finding those hidden gems and connecting people to places we would have missed out on. This bakery is definitely one you should try. Not only is the owner the sweetest person you will ever meet, but she knows how to bake delicious desserts. They have been in business over 35 years and if you decide to drop by to grab a quick snack or cake you will see why. If you are a fan of the twin dragon almond cookies get ready to geek out. This bakery sells the best almond cookies. I didn't even ask how much I just grabbed a couple because after the owner told me that this is their most popular item I knew I would not be disappointed. They are crispy and crunchy in all the right ways with a great flavor. It's the perfect cookie. The real reason I stumbled here was to check out the cakes and I saw they had cookies. Reasonably priced and nicely decorated. The bonus is that they taste great. Perfect for a birthday I am planning. Overall, I am impressed. Everything was reasonably priced and I couldn't resist grabbing a few more treats. Cheers to treating yourself!

    Saw this bakery next to fresh & flash market so decided to grab a few dessert bites. They weren't the freshest pieces, probably because I came at 6 but they certainly were tasty. Besides the texture being a bit on the hard side the small cakes were sweet goodness. Overall it's pretty good especially for El Monte. 4 small cakes totaled about $7, not too shabby.

    Delicious! I loved the frosting. Party guest enjoyed it as well

    Service here was great. Helped me get what I wanted over the phone. Very simple and great tasting frosting

    Cited cakes and delicious!

    Purchased my cakes out of the Covina location before they closed. Very affordable, super cute designs and tasted amazing !

    I placed an order Monday for a Fondant fortnite cake sch for pick up on July 4th. I decided to go with this cake shop due to the good reviews and of course, the 10% discount on yelp. However, because fondant cake usually take more time to make I decided to skip the 10% and paid full price $95 + $5 for fresh fruits. Also, I felt Joe was nice enough to take my order even though it was kind of a last minute thing. The cake turned out to be a disappointment. It was not a full fondant cake so I felt it was not what we agreed on and for that i felt cheated on. Originally, Joe quoted me $43 for a quarter sheet sponge cake and I was like no no..let me send you a photo of the cake i wanted. After viewing the photo, he said that was a fondant cake and it cost $95. I agreed. INSTEAD of fondant, most of the cake was made with cream and heavy coloring. I got blue and like charcoal coloring on my hands until I went home to scrub it off with soap. Still have some on my hands right now...Also, the number 11 and other decorations were made out of cardboard NOT chocolate!!! It was a one layer cake but there were like 4 sticks inside the cake...none of this was informed to me. I was not aware so of course the people at the party wasnt aware. When the kids tried to eat the decorations they got grossed out. Disappointed & embarrassed. Joe was kind enough to give me a call back to clarify things. He told me that there were some miscommunication and apologized for not meeting my expectation. He states that they make all decoration with cardboard so it can stay stable on the cake. He offered me 10% discount on my next order...that offer is stated on yelp??? Joe, you gotta do better than that. Actually, you should have tried to fix the issue for what already happened and improve on future orders. I am still not satisfied... Honestly, the cake tasted good. All the disappointments could have been avoided if everything was explained in details. And dont go charging people for a fondant cake when it's not. Only 2 or 3 of the decorations were made with fondant DOES not count. A fondant cake means the cake not the decoration itself. Most likely, I will not come back to this bakery

    A dry Tres Leche Cake. That's going straight to the trash!
    Carina A.

    I've been coming here for over 20 years specifically for the Tres Leches cake. It's a tradition that my parents get me this cake from here because it's the only tres leches cake I like. Today is my birthday and I got my cake and I was very disappointed. It's not wet at all! It's not leaking nor does it taste moist it's just like sponge vanilla cake. My mom called the man owner and he said we didn't let him know to make it super wet which we never had to do before. It's not even wet so.. He didn't try to make it right he just said next time tell him to make it wet. Im disappointed in the cake and the customer service of the owners. We are loyal customer giving them service for over 20 years.. I'm so sad and look forward to having my tres leches cake on my birthday because it's the only time of the year I get it. It was literally the highlight of my birthday. I'm just disappointed and wish they would've made it right.

    so cute!

    First time ordering from this bakery a cake and it exceeded my expectations it was so cute and yummy exactly what i wanted. I ordered a chocolate cake with fruit filling of banana and strawberries. The cake was so moist and chocolatey but not too much on the taste buds as well with the frosting, plenty of fruit pieces in each serving. I got what i wanted overall i was happy with my purchase and will be ordering from this bakery again.

    Wow! So thankful for yelp! So happy I found her on yelp and hopefully you will be too!!!…read more Now is the time to support small business and not corporations. I contacted her last minuet- like a week before for my sons first bday. I wanted a Winnie the Pooh themed cake I called her and spend a good time on the phone with her discussing the options and details. She is so friendly and professional! It was such a easy process and piece of mind she got what we wanted. The cake was absolutely beautiful and DELICIOUS!!!! Everyone loved it- it's always hard to please everyone - but seriously EVERYONE loved it!

We used her for our children's parties for many years and the work was always great. However, I repeatedly experienced poor communication, last-minute changes, and long periods of silence. I completely understand being busy with your kids or having other commitments, but basic business courtesy is keeping customers updated and confirming details. Several times, our pickup time was changed at the last minute because of her children's cheer schedule. I'm very understanding and accommodating, but if you can't commit to a pickup time, it's better not to promise one. The final time it happened, I expressed my frustration and said I felt it was unprofessional. Instead of acknowledging it or apologizing, she became defensive and blocked me. I was not hostile. I was simply being honest after experiencing the same issue multiple times. This was several years ago, but I'm still surprised to see so many reviews praising the communication because that was absolutely not my experience. My advice: take accountability, communicate with your customers, and be professional.

I met her 4-5 years ago…read morewhen I desperately needed a cake for graduation and she not only made the cake in a two days notice, she completely blew my mind! If I didn't move to San Diego, she would still be my consistent cake lady. I absolutely love her! When I first ordered, she had followed-up asking if the cakes were up to par with the taste and if they lasted well. I had to say, not only was it pretty to look at - it didn't taste bad either! Usually it's a sacrifice for one or the other! I've ordered over 6+ cakes with her and will definitely continue whenever I'm in the area. The amount of buttercream flavoring choices and real fruit used inside the cake... you really can't go wrong if you order from Karena!

The person I gifted it to was ecstatic. If you take a look at each picture printed and cut out perfectly, the teacup molded to the perfect size, each colored detail intricately placed, absolutely every single thing done with prose and care. Talk about a passion for what she does. You absolutely won't be disappointed. Talk about a date, talk about a time, and she will work it out with you. She communicates incredibly quickly and will be sure to make you happy!

    I cannot begin to express how pleased I am with my experience here…read more I have called around to numerous bakeries and this was the only one that was within our budget! I think it's ridiculous other stores are charging $125+ for a 6 inch gender reveal cake (no decorations/ no writing). Is it because it's a gender reveal cake with either pink or blue frosting so they have to hike up the ridiculous prices?! Look no further everyone!! Get all your baked goods and beautifully made cakes here! Other places also want a week's notice before pick up. This spot is only 1 day!! I spoke to the owner over the phone and gave him the details of what my vision was for the cake. He made my vision come true, but even better than I thought it would be! And because you order the cake one day ahead, you can taste how moist and fresh the cake actually is! Versus if you were to order a week in advance anywhere else, the cake would be dry and brittle!! I cannot stress enough how happy I am with my experience here. From my inquiry over the phone up until pick up. I am very very pleased and will continue to come to this establishment. They truly deserve all the praise. THANK YOU for an amazing experience that my hubby and I will never forget!
