My husband and I cannot recommend Fortune Bakery enough! We wanted a simple, "not-too-sweet"…read morewedding cake (iykyk) for our April reception, preferably one that harkened back to my childhood growing up in the SGV. The classic, nostalgic look of Fortune Bakery's cakes (the old-school red gelee for lettering, the soft whipped piping all around) absolutely fit the bill and we placed our order about 2 weeks prior to our wedding reception. The timing initially made me nervous, but fear not-they're on top of things and your cake will be ready as promised! The folks at Fortune Bakery were so friendly and accommodating. Joe was totally game to take on my design requests (orange and white roses with vines; Chinese character for double happiness) and even offered to open up the bakery early on Saturday morning so we could pick up the cake and deliver it to our venue nearby in Pasadena (note: you must arrange for your own cake pickup). We ordered a vanilla with strawberry sheet cake for our guests (fed 75 guests with plenty leftover) and a single layer 7"inch vanilla with mango cake for us to display/cut. The cake was as delicious as expected and a huge hit with our guests. I was more than happy to eat leftover cake for breakfast for a week and look forward to celebrating our wedding anniversary with a vanilla mango cake for many years to come. Support these amazing local legacy shops!

I found Fortune Bakery while searching Yelp for sugar free desserts, and I was pleasantly surprised…read moreby the variety they offer. They have sugar free muffins, cookies, and cakes. The cakes must be preordered, and the smallest one looks to be around 8 inches. I'm definitely planning to order the sugar free strawberry shortcake one day. During my visit, I tried the walnut muffin, strawberry muffin, walnut and raspberry cookies. I really enjoyed the muffins. They weren't overly sweet and were very moist. At $3 each, I thought they were reasonably priced, especially for sugar free baked goods. The walnut cookies were just okay for me. I wasn't a fan of the texture and was expecting them to be a little chewier. I liked the raspberry cookies though. It was delicious and I couldn't tell they were sugar free. The customer service was good. I stopped by close to closing time, and the woman helping me was still friendly and pleasant. I'm so glad I found this diabetic friendly bakery.

Ordering was super easy and they were super responsive with making sure they understood the plan and had everything ready within only a couple days. During pick up they packed extra candles, utensils, ice pack and even helped me make sure it was secure in my car since I'd be driving over 30 mins away. I was sooo impressed that my cake was exactly like the references I provided. The cake was a hugeeee hit with the guests and I really appreciated how every part of the cake was edible. Overall great service and experience!

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!

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!

We ordered the black sesame cake for my wife's bday. Overall, great presentation, good taste, easy pickup. The cake was fluffy, the cream was light , not overly sweet, and well balanced by nuts and raisins. Maybe the nuts and raisins were a bit over (some might argue it was too much texture). Will definitely be back to try other flavors

I got peach guava and it was refreshing and light, not overly sweet like a lot of birthday cakes tend to be. I also loved the utensils that came with it and the whole unboxing experience. It felt like a lot of thought went into the packaging, not just the cake itself. Only issue is the price is kind of pricey, but it also makes sense given the quality. Not sure if its just me, but the sizing seemed like it could feed more than the selected count, especially if youre a small eater. You can tell this cake is well made and meant for special, unique moments. Would order again for another celebration.

There is a hot case which you can see what is being cooled down. The smell is always amazing. The bread loaves are great. The cakes are good, not overly sweet too. If you're lucky, they might have bags of cake scraps for sale. Try the egg tarts too, both versions are delicious, but the Macau is better. The people are always helpful and nice. Service is always good. Definitely come check it out.

The Chinese cupcake wrapped in paper was one of the best I've had. It was spongy, moist and just the right amount of sweetness. Pineapple bun is the Hong Kong style buns. The top is crispy while the rest of the bun is soft. Sesame bun was soft and filled with good amount of sesame inside. Egg tart was also good. Although the crust could be flakier, the egg custard part was very good. I haven't tried everything in the store but what I have tried recently, I liked it a lot. I will be back to try other items. The bakery is small but there is a small parking lot in the back.

There's a small parking lot in the back, but spaces can be hard to find and I ended up having to park on the street the first time I went. (FYI - they are going to open a Goomo tea shop on the corner in the same space!) D'ange has so many fun flavors of buns. I really liked the taro with mochi one. The only thing about the buns is that the fillings tend to be only on one side of the bun, so there are been times as I'm biting into the bun, I'm not getting any filling until the last couple bites. They even sell cookies and all different flavors of toast that would make some yummy brick toast desserts! And if you need a whole cake, they have them in the case ready to go too! The buns I got were great, as were the Portuguese egg tarts. They even sold Chinese tamales at my last visit, so I picked one up too. I don't know many places that sell these, and I used to eat them all the time when my grandma made them years ago, but now that no one in my family knows how to make them, it's a special treat if I can find it. They have ones with meat (with or without peanuts), and some with just the mung bean. They must be really know for this because 2 other parties ahead of me were buying tons of the tamales!

TGTG is an app that allows businesses to sell their leftover or flawed goods for a discounted price in a bundle of their choice. So you don't know what you get, BUT it reduces food waste (#sustainability) while being easier on your wallet. You pay a price they name and they give you the value they listed. The owner (I presume) handed us a prepackaged brown bag the moment we got there. It wasn't busy at all so the whole transaction was under 5 minutes. It's a mom & pop Asian bakery that's spacious and warm. Our surprise bag contained 7 mini breads: black sesame mochi, red sesame mochi, taro bun with filling, hot dog cheese bread, buo luo bao, ham + cheese bun, and another bread I couldn't quite identify. This is $21 value for $6.99 is what we paid. After heating them up, they tasted almost like fresh so we can't complain. However, I would say these days $3 would get you bigger buns at other similar bakeries, but their fillings were very generous, so it's hard to say. Parking has spots designated to the bakery so look out for the signs.

After contacting several bakeries, they were the only one confident enough to recreate our cake design--with incredible attention to detail and without relying on stencils for the bottom tier. They truly brought our vision to life. The cake was absolutely gorgeous and became one of the highlights of the celebration. It wasn't just beautiful--it tasted amazing too! The White Cake with Strawberry Mousse and Lemon Cake with Raspberry Mousse were both huge hits with our guests. The cake was incredibly moist, soft, and perfectly fluffy without being overly airy. Best of all, it was not overly sweet, allowing the delicious flavors to really shine. They also delivered the cake on time, making the entire experience stress-free. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how beautiful and delicious the cake was. Thank you, Takes the Cake Pasadena, for helping make Naomi's 80th birthday so special. We will definitely be ordering from you again! Thank you MS Lynn!
