    What we got

    This review is long overdue! I ordered a cake from here back in April for my son's birthday, and it turned out so cute! The only small downside was having to buy the cake toppers separately since their catalogs are a bit outdated, but aside from that, they decorated the cake exactly like the picture in the catalog. The cake itself tasted good--moist, flavorful, and not dry at all. Before placing my order, I tried their mini cakes (I think they're around $3-$5 each), and those were delicious too! The owners are also incredibly kind and helpful, always willing to answer your questions.

    Quarter sheet cake.

    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

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

    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.

    Cited cakes and delicious!

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

    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.

    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

    Great service, beautiful cake!! I got what I asked for couldn't be more pleased. Will definitely be returning here.

    Baby Shower cake ( topper is mine) chocolate cake with banana filling.  Big hit at Baby shower,  everyone loved it.

    Owner is super nice and cakes are amazing. I've ordered about 4 cakes so far in the past few years and they've always been delicious and fresh. No complaints at all. I'll always go to Happy Bakery not only for their cakes but also for they're pastries. They have ready made treats to purchase and I've tried so many items already and always satisfied. I highly recommend this place.

    KK is a cute bakery that's unfortunately pretty easy to miss if you aren't looking for it…read more Staff is friendly and helpful. Items are self-serve, with the exception of a few refrigerated desserts and drinks, and you pay at the counter. There are a few stools inside, but otherwise no interior/exterior seating - it's more of a grab & go type establishment anyway. No restroom. Limited parking is available in the small shared lot, or you can try to find street parking (no issues with space in the morning). Mild noise level. They offer a good variety of both sweet and savory breads, cookies, and pastries, as well as meat buns, premade and custom cakes, and a few drinks. Everything I've tried so far has been flavorful, moist, and tasty. I will definitely be back to try the cake slices. Prices are fair. This is one of my favorite places, especially when I'm buying bulk amounts to feed friends. 10/10 recommend.

    This is a new asian bakery in the plaza with pho next door and haircut and water refill shops…read more Parking is terrible, ifkyk. They took over the donut shop, so inside still kinda look like it with the coffee machine and lotto. They have nice bread display though. The bread are yummy. If I'm nearby I'll definitely buy more. They have unique flavors like sticky rice bun (literally inside taste like the sticky rice chinese dessert, so far my favorite!) and I also got brown sugar boba bread. The lady is nice. I paid tap with my phone.

    Nobody does it quite like Karena. 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!

    Have you ever looked up beautiful pieces of artwork and wondered how the artist did it? Even more…read moreso, if that artwork could be placed in your hand and be given as a gift? Karena is incredibly talented. I can't even begin to talk about my wonderful experience. I showed her a few pictures of inspiration and she told me what she could and couldn't do. Once we agreed on an inspiration picture and idea she put my specifications to work and low and behold, an absolute masterpiece! The detail on each part of the artwork was outstanding. 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!

    This was a lovely sweet treat for the evening. We ordered cannolis, brownies, chocolate cake, and…read morechocolate strawberries for the family. I absolutely recommend the cannolis! They were the best cannolis I've ever had! I often find that cannoli stuffing is too sweet, but I did not have that problem here. It was the perfect blend of lightness and sweetness. The nut brownies were super delicious as well. They are very rich and flavorful, perfect for chocolate lovers! Furthermore, the service was excellent. The lady working was very kind and patient with us while we took a while to order. I definitely recommend this bakery to everyone in the community.
