3Q cake
Olee L.

Amazing sesame cake roll with sesame whipped cream! Heavenly tasted! You cant order on the spot or visit the store. You need to get on her FB page private group. If she opens for order, you have to sign up fast otherwise it is sold out. She makes birthday cake also. I love the cake roll. 3Q cake is only ok to me.

Maybe because I saw extremely positive reviews for this place, hence my expectations. Sadly, my hopes fell flat. Nonetheless, support local business! Judy has her own fan base in the area. If you want to order anything, you'll have to join her private FB group by answering a few questions asked in Mandarin. We ordered a custom birthday cake - You'll have to do this 2 weeks in advance. You get to choose the cake flavor, and 2 different types of filling. The exterior will be your typical Asian whipped cream with fresh fruits. After you order through her google form, you'll have to text her as well so she can check if she got your order. Then, you can choose to pay via PayPal (show the receipt in person during pickup), or pay credit card (I think she also takes cash). The latter methods are in person during pickup. Day of, Judy called us to say she was running late (which we were totally fine with). We arrived in the small parking lot, and her shop is in between a bunch of auto repair shops. When we went inside, the space was pretty packed with inventory, and you see Judy and her staff super busy all doing their own thing: she's assembling cakes, someone is folding cake boxes, another is carrying out baked sponge cakes... We got a cake with black sesame base, with taro filling and pudding filling: +/-1 black sesame was poorly mixed in the entire batter. However, the pieces that I bit into had a nice sesame flavor! The cake itself was nice, light and moist though. +/-1 a bit disappointed by the taro filling - it was just chunks of taro mixed in the whipped cream. I was hoping it would be mashed taro instead. +1 pudding tasted homemade! I liked it. -1 a bit surprised there was SO much whipped cream. I wish there was a way to ask for less (probably is). For $38, this was quite a pricey 8" cake. Would I get it again? Not sure. Would I want to try other stuff she sells in her FB group? Probably!

This is a home style Taiwanese chef who has a commercial kitchen to meet demand for her style of food. Every business is a community; this one is no exception. Photos of the cakes are on FB, there are regular rotation items which show up on mamacook for less than a day. Menu varies depending on what customers want. This isn't a substitute for korean bakeries. They don't sell to the general public via walkup traffic. Everything is made to order after ordering on wechat/FB/mamacook. The owner gives cooking classes. Cakes use whip cream wo the additives in the commercial korean bakeries. You can customize the inside layers and outside to your liking and control the sweetness level by indicating the amount of sugar added to the cream pre whipping. The cheesecake is asian style, they take it out of the mold when you show up for pickup. If you eat it right away or a hour or so later it is one of the best warm light, fluffiest cakes you can experience. The steam hasn't condensed. Many shops follow this protocol including Uncle Tetsu or Subway with their fresh bread. If you like taiwanese style food, this is the place to go. Not as salty as the commercial restaurants and better food quality. Some of the noodle soups are good; they sell out regularly. Very popular w/kids. Homemade broth and not strong flavor or overly salty. The 3lb packs of make your own dumplings are designed for people with kids and less time to cook and shop. This is a better style than buying frozen dumplings because it takes less room for storage, the final product is better; store premade dough/filling in airtight container in fridge. Enough for 4 people for multiple servings. Helps tremendously with meal prep. Most of the customers don't use Yelp. English too much trouble. the lower reviews don't understand the how this business works or the customer base.

wontons in red chilly sauce made from Judy's hand made frozen wontons
Renee C.

Judy's handmade goods always bring back memory of good time and flavor back in Taiwan. This is an unique shop that rotates it's menu daily, providing great selection of different Taiwanese cuisine. You need to contact Judy through the Facebook to be added to a private Facebook group to see the daily pre-order menu and place orders. I think they used to provide family cooking classes but due to covid19 it's transformed into making take-out orders for baked goods and Taiwanese cuisine. This photo is wonton in red chilly sauce, a copycat of ding tai fun, made from Judy's hand made frozen wontons (+soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, chopped green onion, sesame oil, trader joe onion crunch, hot sauce, and **peanut powder**). Judy seeks for healthy natural ingredients put-together authentic Taiwanese baking and dishes. No shortcut with pre-made overly-processed ingredients. She's wearing multiple hats, running this whole operation by herself most of the time, from managing orders, shopping &preparing ingredients, baking /cooking, packaging, and lastly assisting pickup/customer interaction. Please support small business through this tough time by exploring more local takeout options. We can make it through together.

Strawberry Fresh Cream Swiss roll and Black Forest Swiss Roll

The cake rolls are absolutely delicious! The cake is light and moist with right level of sweetness, the cream and filling are light and fresh and the amount is really generous .You'll taste no artificial flavor but the flavor from high quality ingredients. If you like Japanese or Taiwanese cake rolls, this is the right place for you.

On window, everything made to order.
Doug C.

Weekly menu changes via FB post. Everything freshly made. Very high quality. Have to place order in advance; can pay via paypal to be covid safe. No dining outside. Commercial kitchen. Other reviews accurate. This is by far the best asian bakery in the bay area for cakes. Big difference when something is not refrigerated and premade. I never knew that. Taiwanese style. Cheesecake: order from FB group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/Judyhandmadecake/. Join and wait fro approval. Takes a while bc owner is so busy. CC is warm and freshly popped out of mold when you pickup. The freshly baked results in different texture than anything from local bakeries or franchise chains. Not sweet, not like an American cheesecake, more like a souffle. Similar to a chawan mushi custard. Similar to the Japanese cheesecakes. Very light. Other reviews accurate, the light airy texture changes after refrigeration. Better than mass produced cheesecakes which are either shipped over frozen like Paris Baguette. Also sell wonton, jiaozi dough/filling in DIY kits. They post when available and you order through mamacook: https://mamacook.mobi/en/customer/events They speak english on pickup, most customers are chinese speaking. pickup line moves slowly. budget 1/2 hr.

Sushi cake: shredded pork (pork "sung") & cucumber inside, nori (seaweed) outside.
Gina C. M.

In addition to traditional cakes, there are Asian flavors as well as a unique "sushi cake" with shredded pork (pork "sung") & cucumber inside, nori (seaweed) outside. Other offerings include cold noodles & Taiwanese sticky rice, as well as Chinese pastries & bao.

Store is a "deli inside an auto repair plaza & cross street is Kifer". Submit orders via Google Doc in their Facebook group: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe4cPW2We2HSs-rwW4LWdvL1vIxIdY1_66F22X6iYB8d6J_fQ/viewform Order 14 days in advance for weekend orders. ( Weekday orders: 7 days in advance.) Can also order via various foodie groups on FB. Usually pick up Tue & Sat at various locations including Sunnyvale & Cupertino.

I dropped by to see if I could grab a last minute cake and was told they only had grape and it was…read moregoing to be $72 :(. To be fair, this was close to opening. The staff was friendly and patient as I took my time selecting pieces! I ended up choosing four to share later. Each slice is around ~$12.50. - Salted Egg Meat Floss -- (4/5) This is similar to the classic meat floss buns from Asian bakeries! It wasn't sweet and I was pleasantly surprised by this. - Chocolate Sesame -- (2/5) I wouldn't recommend if you wanted sesame. This just takes like chocolate, which was still good! - Pandan Raspberry -- (5/5) This was the favorite of our group! The raspberry is very tart, so it helps balance the cream and tastes fresh. Couldn't really taste the pandan however. - Peanut + Red Bean mochi -- (4/5) This one does have a layer of silky mochi on top that stretches and provides some chew with each bite. It's not too sweet, perfect for those craving a classic Asian dessert taste palate. It's a turn right off Lawrence express, I wasn't expecting the location to be so close to a busy street. Yet, the store itself was quiet and also spacious. A lot of tables to sit at.

Crepe cake cafe with well made desserts…read more Situated right next to a huge parking lot, I came here with a friend for some cake and to pass the time before a dinner reservation. Interior is very neutral/beige with the pops of color coming from some plants scattered inside the space. There's WiFi available and for 6pm on a Saturday, it was empty. We ordered two cakes: pandan raspberry and a tiramisu. Both were really well layered but it tasted like the tiramisu had far more cake layers than the pandan raspberry. The pandan raspberry was more raspberry with minimal pandan flavor. The tiramisu tasted just like its name and was great! Both were very lightly sweet cakes, and it was surprisingly easy for my friend and I to devour two slices and still feel ready for dinner later. I wouldn't get the pandan raspberry again, but would be willing to try other slices with how the tiramisu was. The downside is the cakes are pricey. And it feels the interior can't decide if it's trying to be minimal on purpose, or the furnishings were meant for a smaller space/grab-and-go only spot originally but then they moved to a larger location with seating. Good cakes, I would consider swinging by here to pick up a slice for a special occasion.

I've ordered three cakes from Sugar Butter Flour now, each for my daughter's birthday celebrations…read more My little one has a very creative mind and very specific tastes, and I am so happy with the work from this cake artist! Each cake has been absolutely wonderful, and the flavors are always on point. The bakery is located in an unassuming strip mall, but don't let the simplicity of the storefront fool you. These are top-notch, custom cakes that both the kids and adults at her parties always enjoy. The team is highly responsive, friendly, and great to work with. I feel the pricing is very fair for the quality of custom-made cakes you receive. This has officially become my go-to bakery for custom cakes. Highly recommend!

The custom cakes here look amazing!…read more I stopped by the store to see if we could taste the cake before committing to it. I learned the wedding cake flavors aren't the same flavors they have at the store in cake and cupcake form. Luckily when speaking with the young man, he said "we do have wedding cake kits right now". We happily purchased one right away, but wondered how fresh they could be if they had it on demand. Yup, most of the cakes were super dry and hard. The chocolate cakes also didn't have that deep chocolate flavor. Admittedly, we do not like buttercream and wedding cakes usually are limited to that as well as fondant. Every option here is buttercream based so we weren't huge fans, but leaned toward more the tropical flavors: mango, passionfruit, lemon. The mocha, hazelnut and caramel were pretty tasty too. Props for the princess cake!

Never thought I say this but TikTok brought me to Basquia Bakery (inside Mega Mart, a Korean…read moresupermarket). Well kinda... I usually get the same item at Basquia Bakery: Korokke, a Korean style fried bread with a crispy panko exterior, filled with savory mash potatoes. For $3, it's a good deal for a snack. Some of Basquia Bakery's baked goods are not labeled so I would have totally overlooked their Korean mochi bread if it weren't for TikTok. Last fall, Korean sweet potato mochi bread (goguma ppang) went viral. For months, the commercial frozen ones were sold out at Korean markets. The supply has since been replenished (along with frozen kimbap) but if you can't commit to an entire bag like myself, then this is for you. Plus, this may be the only bakery in NorCal selling freshly made Korean mochi bread. M E N U Along with mochi bread, Basquia Bakery sells cakes (slice + whole), roll cakes, fruit tarts, cream puffs, bread, buns, k corn dogs, etc. For drinks, they have non-caffeinated lattes (e.g. black sesame and beer). M O C H I B R E A D Available in pairs ($4) or a variety box of the five flavors ($9). I went with the latter. Visited Saturday morning around 9:45 am and the had about a 50% supply left. Can we talk about how adorable these are?! The mochi bread is shaped based on their flavors. The mochi "bread" is mochi with a chewy exterior filled with a mashed filling. This is my personal preference but I like mochi that has more of an elastic, bouncy QQ chew which this didn't quite have. The texture did improve after air-frying the leftovers. Flavors: * Sweet Potato // 4 stars Looks and tastes exactly like the real deal with sweet, fluffy mashed interior but hits different with the slight gelatinous chew. Tip: Eat this with kimchi. It's adds a delicious tang and heat to contrast the natural sweetness. * Corn // 4 stars Enjoyed the creamy corn filling with kernels for texture. * Potato // 4 stars Savory, creamy mashed potatoes. I wanted to pair this with a steak. Lol. * Chestnut // 4 stars I love roasted chestnut but this has cinnamony, chocolatey notes from the dusting of cocoa powder + cinnamon. There were chunks of roasted chestnut. * Kabocha // 3 stars Again, tasted like the real deal but too sweet for me. Overall, glad I tried this cute novelty at Basquia Bakery. I'm now convinced to buy a bag of the commercial frozen ones, yanno for taste test comparison purposes. ;)

HUGE thank you to the very lovely people at La Patisserie who made a custom cake for my brother's…read morebirthday. They matched the reference photo I gave them almost exactly - and actually made it look better than the photo! They were so kind and patient in our back-and-forth about the cake details and it was packaged so carefully on the day of the pick-up. Every step of the process went so smoothly and I cannot recommend them enough. Plus, everything I have ever had from them has been delicious. This place is such a gem within the Bay Area. I am beyond grateful to the wonderful and talented staff at La Patisserie.

I've been coming to La Patisserie in Cupertino for years, usually when I'm already in the area…read moreshopping. There are a lot more fancy dessert shops around the Bay Area these days, but somehow I still come back for their Guava Cake. It's actually a strange craving. I don't think about this cake every week. Sometimes I completely forget about it for months, then one day something goes wrong in my brain and suddenly I NEED a guava cake. I've had this cake many times over the years and that's probably what impresses me most - it really hasn't changed much. Same fluffy cake, same very fragrant guava flavor, same bright old-school appearance. Maybe the angle of the whipped cream piping has changed a few degrees over the years, but I'll allow that process deviation. The guava flavor is the main reason I keep buying it. To me, it tastes surprisingly natural and close to real fruit. I've had plenty of guava desserts where you immediately get that artificial syrup/flavoring impression. I don't get that here. The guava is strong and fragrant, the cake itself is very light and fluffy, and the mousse and glossy guava topping give you that fruit flavor in almost every bite. This is definitely an old-school cake. It's not trying to be Lady M or some modern Instagram dessert. And that's fine. A good traditional cake is still a good cake. Usually I'm buying the whole cake to bring to someone's house, so I've watched a lot of first-timers try it over the years. Guava is guava - some people think it's on the sweet side, others love how fragrant it is. But somehow this is the one guava cake I've brought around that pretty much everybody ends up liking. And one comment I hear a lot is how natural the guava flavor tastes. It's around $70 for a whole cake now, which definitely isn't cheap. But if I'm paying that much for cake, at least give me something I can actually remember the next day. This one I can. If I'm planning to pick one up around 4 or 5 PM, I normally order earlier in the day. I've learned not to conduct unnecessary cake-inventory experiments. After all these years, La Patisserie's Guava Cake is still basically the same cake I remember. Dr. C long-term stability study: PASSED. Whipped cream piping angle may have experienced minor process drift. No CAPA required.

The canvas is a creamy white frosting, the base wrapped with flowing grass icing and white and yellow flower fondant. A classic whimsical Winnie and Piglet are nestled in the grass. As you make your way to the top of the cake, there's a "Hunny" jar with overflowing honey icing spilling over the side, and little fondant bees enjoying the bountiful honey. Perched at the top next to the honey jar is a chocolate yellow honeycomb, a perfect touch to this artful cake. The cake was an absolute hit with guests, and a perfect centerpiece.
