If you're looking for a huge fruit cake to share with family, this is the place to be! I came in to the shop a day prior to when I wanted to pick up my order for their 1/2 size fruit cake that feeds about 25 people which was $60. I ordered this cake specifically for my husband's 35th birthday to share with his family which there was about 20 of us so it was the perfect size. I mean who doesn't like a not so sweet tasty cake with yummy fruits on top?! The inside of the cake consisted of vanilla sponge cake and "mil hojas" which is light layers of puff pastry. The outside of the cake had a variety of fruits like strawberries, grapes, pineapples, kiwis, and peaches. It was such a hit that the whole family killed it within that day. Both the adults and kids loved it! Definitely will be ordering this again for another family party :)
I called 5 days before pickup for a fruit cake without the cake part, only crispy "cookie." It's about $40 for 1/4 sheet sized. They say it feeds about 10-15 which is pretty accurate. It looks small but it's very filling. Pickup was easy and the staff was very nice. Delicious cake and very crispy. Fruit was not tart at all despite it being February.
BE AWARE! The guy up front will scam you! I'm almost positive he has done this many times before but don't be stupid and let that old Asian man up front scam you! Take out your calculator and make sure he doesn't take your hard earned money. I came in on a whim to get a cake for a last minute get together. I got the $38 fruit cake-it was already made and ready to go in the display case up front. Saw that they also sold mini plates for $3 and some forks for $2. I figured I'd be courteous to the host at the get together so I grabbed one of each which totals FIVE DOLLARS. I asked the guy if he prefers cash or card and he said cash. He said the cake is $38 and the plates/forks will be SIX dollars. I told him NO! The signs clearly state three and two dollars. He looked kinda mad. So I gave him $100 bill cash. So my cake + plates + forks = $43. I gave him $100 but he came back and said "here is your $55". I was pissed that he tried to gyp me AGAIN! I told him "No you owe me $57 not $55!" So he was pissed he couldn't scam me so he went back to the register to grab out $2 more dollars to give me my correct change. Imagine if he did that to every customer that walks in-it adds up! Normally I wouldn't leave a bad review but I just had to cuz he tried to scam me like I'm some dumb person. No ethics whatsoever. This is my second time here for their fruit cakes-cakes are decent. But be aware. Sure it's just a couple of bucks but come on-just be an honest person if he asked for tip or something I'd give it to him.
I thought the cake here was good - but not "all time." I was expecting more in the mil hojas layer and it was more like a compressed cookie than a "thousand leaves" of a thin layered pastry. The secret to a good "mil hojas" cake is the pastry layer - it cannot be hard like cookie -- it must be very light! The frosting was good -- but nothing notable. I think the fruit was fresh - but I couldn't tell if the peaches and kiwis were from a can. I probably wouldn't go back -- the cake didn't blow me away. I'm going to say the best cake of this style that I have had was at Long Phung Bakery in Westminster.
I normally get my Vietnamese fruit aka cookie cake from Vans bakery. Which is what Vans bakery is known for tiL my cousin told me about this bakery. Vans bakery can be a slight more in pricing I noticed. Possibly since i think of their known bakery staple name. This would be my go to local place in Anaheim if I didn't want to make the drive out to Garden Grove area for Vans Bakery. Their cake is just as good. Only thing is that they currently only do 3 type of fruit topping, Peach, pineapple and strawberry. The thick custard like in the cake filling is not overly sweet also the whipped cream they use. It's the perfect blend of sweetness. I Requested full pastry aka cookie tart instead of half & half. which is pastry & sponge cake, as good. Just my preference is the full tart. They charge extra when you do it full pastry/cookie. I noticed. When i ordered my cake the gentleman did say it's a customized cake order. He didn't inform me it was going to cost more. Til i went and picked up the order and saw the sizes and prices listed on the wall. Asked the lady associate and she mentioned it's a customized order. It would have been great if they told me that over the phone when i made my order that'll it'll cost more. Not that I'll change my mind but in case for other customers. It could help with choosing which cake they'd prefer along with pricing. End the end everyone loves the cakes. Definitely Was a hit for sure and highly recommend. Btw they write the greeting/wishes on the cake when you pick up the cake
The cake was DELICIOUS! Staff was friendly and the place looked nice. Located in a busy shopping center. I could see it being hard to find parking on a weekend.
I ordered a 3/4 milhojas cake the day before a baby shower over the phone for pickup by 1pm the next day. It all felt very unofficial so I called the morning of the shower just to confirm that they had my order and they did. I had asked them to leave it blank until I get there because I wasn't sure if I wanted writing or if I would decorate it myself. They were fine with that. When I arrived there was just a blank cream banner across the cake. I had decided to decorate it myself so I didn't request writing. My car was parked right in front of the bakery so the man helped me carry it out to the trunk of my car. It was a very quick and easy process. I didn't get to try the cake because I had to leave early but I heard people enjoyed it.
Great cake shop! Usually call it in and there has never been an issue with my order. They are very friendly and quick. The fruit placed on top is always fresh and the merenge they use on the sides is melt-in-your-mouth delicious!
Food: You cannot go wrong with any baked goods at the JK Bakery. They have been in business for 25 years and when you try their baked goods you will see why! I got the Milojas Cake for my mothers birthday and they delivered. I recommend the 1/2 Sheet for big to small party because even if you have a small party everyone will want to take some home. Service: They are the sweetest people! This is a family owned and operated business that is handled with lots of care and love. We have been coming here for many years and they always do it right! Ambiance: It is a small very cozy spot. It feels like you are visiting family. When you come here. I recommend the Cream Puffs. read more

1/24/25 I was on the hunt for a birthday cake. I usually go to red ribbon or 85 degrees, but I wanted something different. The last fruit/wafer tart cake I purchased was in Santa Ana, a while back. I check their reviews and decided to pop in to check it out. The store is very simple, not much space but straight the the point with item availability. The owner assured me all cakes were made fresh, a few times a day depending on demand. I decided to get 1/4 sheet cake for my FIL and BIL birthday dinner. I loved the skillful writing of the names. I also got a coffee cake slice to try. We ate the cake after dinner and everyone was impressed but how fresh and delicious it was. The wafer crisp was crispy (not soggy) and the cake was soft and delicious. The coffee cake was very coffee tasting. Since I don't drink coffee, it tasted strong for me. However, my husband and girls enjoyed it a lot. Reasonably priced bakery and much closer to home. I highly recommend you give them a try. Fresh ingredients, taste, and texture! read more

A hidden gem! The kindest people own & operate this business. I can call them in a pinch and get up to a full sheet with little to no notice. The fruit tart cake is delicious is light, with fresh fruit and a creamy whipped topping that never makes me feel guilt to indulge in a slice or three. . . read more

Hands down, one of the best fruit cakes I've ever had! I highly recommend trying one because no one else can make them this good! The cake is so moist and soft and fluffy. The thing that really adds the wow to it is the crusty pastry layer! The combination of the sort of crunchiness with the softness is really different than just eating a normal fruit cake. I also love the custard and the whipped cream frosting. Both are not too sweet or overwhelming and they don't taste bitter due to too much food coloring. The fruit is pretty fresh as well! Plus, the decorations are really intricate and detailed and you can tell they were done with hard work and love. Overall, great bakery! :) read more
