I originally stopped by around 4pm on a weekday. No one was there. The door was locked. There was no note on the door that they had closed early. The website currently shows open until 6pm. So that was incorrect. The next day, I called to confirm their hours and confirmed I wanted to stop by to place an order. I told them I stopped by the day before, but they were closed before 4:30pm. The person I spoke to stated they would be there and denied what happened the day before. That should have been a red flag for me. As for ambiance, it was a hot day and it was definitely warm inside the bakery. I could see behind the counter and it didn't look very tidy. So I stopped by later that afternoon. The young lady at the front could not be bothered. She was not helpful. She seemed annoyed by my questions. She kept pointing at a board for me to look at for answers. I guess the owner came out from the back, and she was not very friendly. Neither of them demonstrated good customer service. They seemed annoyed and didn't seem to want to help. Against my better judgment, I proceeded to place an order. They quoted me $130 for a 10" strawberry whipped cream cake with flowers and happy birthday writing. I placed a deposit and even gave a generous tip in hopes the cake would turn out better than their customer service. The cake was placed in a box that was double the size it needed to be. There was a whole lot of box for a not so big cake. The cake looked pretty on the outside. Unfortunately, it was dry and bland on the inside. It was hard to cut and it crumbled when trying to scoop it on the fork or spoon. It did not taste fresh. The icing was okay. It wasn't sweet. Overall, it was NOT worth $130 + the generous tip I gave. I really wanted to support local business, but I won't be a return customer.
I was so excited to ask Ivy to make my wedding cake since she's been my go to baker all these years and she did such an amazing job! We made an appointment for cake tasting and narrowed it down to the three that we liked (cheesecake, lemon, and strawberry). We did three tiers (8"/10"/12") and it was more than enough to feed a party of 150 people. Ivy also delivered the cake to our venue, which was a huge help because it was one less thing I needed to worry about! The cake matched the theme perfectly and it looked so much better than the inspo pic I had. Thank you again!!
Looks nothing like the Inspo picture, the owner misinterpreted what we wanted, said we showed her two pictures when it was just one we even sent it through text, she tried to blame it on the icing being whipped cream that's why it looks bad like this but the border looks nothing like the Inspo picture, plus it was smudged when we open it, we ALSO asked for a marble cake and they gave us chocolate, The cake tasted good but there was a lot of mistakes and it was not what we asked for mostly paying 250$, not worth it and not coming back. Thank you I added the Inspo picture below.
Good cake, good price, reliable service. Good communication. Did manage expectations for final cake.
I ordered a mango sago cake for lunar new years for my family as Ivy did a wonderful job with decorating it for the day! The cake was fresh, the mango was sweet, but the crème was not too sweet which is perfect for my Asian family's taste. I really appreciate how fresh they make their cake and Ladyfinger's staff is all so nice. Thank you for the beautiful cake!
I was in desperate need of a cake for my daughters baby shower. My son-in-laws mom let me know a week before the party that her cake person went out of town. I knew no one would have a chance to make a two tiered cake at this point. I was able to find a simple sheet cake design and took it to lady fingers to see if they could do it. They Did! I got a sponge sheet cake with strawberries and crème filling. The outside was an ombré rose design. Aside from it looking like the pic, the cake was amazing. She used buttercream frosting and nothing was overly sweet! Disclaimer: I have no clue why we didn't take a pic of it but hope this works.
Went in to get a small cake for a friend. The person who helped me seemed a bit annoyed by my asking what flavor each cupcake & cake was. I ended up purchasing a few cupcakes & a Strawberry Mousse cake. I wish I could say differently but the cupcakes weren't fresh tasting and dry. Not sure how the cake was because I gave it to a friend...they thanked me but never mentioned how it tasted. Eeekkk.
We ordered a cake here for my daughter's birthday. We went with a Bluey themed cake that I got the inspiration from instagram and emailed them for a quote. I got a fairly quick response and decided to order through them. Turned out as what I expected. It was a bit on the pricier side when adding the custom decorations but other than that, everything went well from the ordering, to picking up, presentation, and taste of the cake. All our guest enjoyed it and no crumbs were left behind. Will definitely order from them again!
Cute bakery with a variety of items available to choose from Cookies Cakes Cheese cake mini sponge cakes I walked in as the cookies were just taken out of the oven YAAAY FOR ME Prices are reasonable Customer service is friendly Parking is in the back All ingredients are fresh I especially liked the mini sponge cake Very flavorful and tasty
Shout out to Ladyfingers Cakes located at San Leandro for an excellent job of doing a Bluey 10" cake!!!!!! This cake became the highlight of the party. Thanks to Ivy for making this easy for us. I am from San Diego but the kid's party is at Oakland. i googled and found Ladyfingers. I have doubts at first, but this is the most convenient for me coming from San Diego. I just paid through Zelle... that's it!!! The cake was delicious too!!! Not too sweet. Love the design and love the cake! This place is highly recommended.
Pre-ordered a 1/8 sheet durian cake, 1/8 sheet mango cake, and 12 carrot cupcakes for a party. The durian cake is SO GOOD! My family from LA raved about this cake; I should've ordered a half sheet. The mango cake was good but mangos are currently not in season so it was likely frozen mango - still delicious. I really liked the carrot cupcakes (the cream cheese frosting is not too sweet but I only ate a small portion of the frosting); they were packed with shreds of carrots and coconut. Cupcakes had a moist texture. My family thought there was too much shreds of stuff though. Ordered in person and pick up was easy. Will definitely order future cakes here!

We reached out for a custom engagement cake to celebrate some friends recently. I reached out via their email on their website and they responded quickly with fair pricing. We requested a 6 inch heart shaped cake with a reference photo, and they really did a wonderful job! Pickup was also easy and seamless. The Blackbottom cake was the perfect texture with just the right amount of sweetness; all our friends loved it, especially our recently engaged friends! Would definitely order from them again read more
I'm back! And got a Dukedom! :) Quality/Quantity - Small mixed fruit cream cake . With such fresh and generous fruits. And as usual, a beautiful presentation. See pictures. Well proportioned with cake, cream, and fruits; see pictures. Lastly, I really really liked the lady fingers, which must be a signature item as it is in the name of the business. Good firm texture, crispy shell, etc. I made sure I had a piece with each bite of the rest of the cake. Atmosphere - Small local business, please support local. To-go business. Plenty of metered parking, 3 meter maids today!! Open 6 days a week; closed Mondays. Service - 6 stars. Ivy and her team are so welcoming and professional. After Ivy read my review, she messaged me to make sure I understood what we bought and the differences between the types of cakes and encouraged me to come back to try this mixed fruits cream cake. Thanks. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success for the 45+ years. read more

I ordered vanilla cupcakes with whipped cream frosting for my sister's baby shower. I got lots of compliments. It was moist and spongy. It was like a shortcake. I did my own decorations. Will definitely come back and they were reasonably priced around $3/cupcake. read more

I can't get over how cute our gender reveal cake was. I ordered the cake 2 days ago and it was ready. It looks exactly like the inspiration picture I sent. We got the fruit sponge cake so it was perfectly not too sweet. The cake was a little pricey for a 6 inch, but we are so happy with how it turned out. read more
When we walked in we were greeted right away. Every question we asked was answered with a smile! Our first time in there. We planned on buying two items. BC if the warm customer service we purchased way more. Everything was moist fresh and delicious. I have never had carrot cupcake amazing with fresh ingredients! The icing delicious! I can't wait to return keep up the Excellent work everyone! read more

I can't recommend Ladyfingers for custom cakes enough! They always nail my vision for every cake I ask for. Ivy really listens to what I want and makes it happen perfectly every time. Her attention to detail is amazing, and always makes my events special. There will always be guests asking where the cake is from and I'm happy to refer them to Ladyfingers. They are definitely the one to go to! read more

Cake was extremely moist. Perfect amount of sweetness. I was surprised at how many layers there was. Cream cheese frosting was very smooth and not too sweet. They nailed the design I wanted. Easy to communicate. Just email them with a picture to receive a quote. read more

Recommended by a few friends. Cake was so good. It wasn't too dense, not too fluffy and just enough sweetness. Parking lot is crowded, but able to park on street as well. read more

The tiramisu cake was delicious! I had the 6inch and it fed 7 of us comfortably. There was lots of cream and you can tell the ladyfingers are really fresh. I wish there was more than two strawberry pieces. Parking can be hard as it is located in downtown but it's definitely worth it for this yummy cake. I will be back to try some of the other desserts. read more
Glad Ladyfingers opened a location in SL! We're a fan of their fruit tarts and cakes. I recommend ordering a few days ahead as they have a limited variety of cakes in-store. They do have a good amount of cupcakes, mini pastries, mini tarts, cookies, etc. available for purchase though. As for their desserts, some are better than others. I wish that their fruit tart was more consistent. On one occasion, the tart shell was perfectly cooked, flaky, but the pastry cream wasn't set. The next time the tart shell was a overcooked with a bitter aftertaste, while the pastry cream was perfect. The fruit was refreshing both times. I'd probably skip their cookies unless you prefer yours extra crispy, but I look forward to trying their mini pastries one day. Prices are average and similar to other locally-owned bakeries. read more
We had ordered a graduation cake from this place. We were happy that the cake looked superb and it was ready as promised. The only minor issue was how we wanted the names and the message to be written on a different location of the cake. Perhaps there was some miscommunication. Overall we had a very positive experience and we will order again. read more
This new bakery replaces Sweet Dee, a bakery that was popular for their cupcakes. I went far out of my way to try this new spot because it's the new second location of the original Ladyfinger's in Oakland, which started in 1979. I actually haven't even been to the original Oakland location in ages, but it was once very popular, so I wanted to give their new place a try. I only bought a Snow Ball, which was a cupcake topped with a coconut cream cheese topping. I was far from being wowed. The cream topping looked like a lackadaisical attempt, with the frosting completely uneven. Appearances aside, the cupcake itself was meh. I was told that because it was refrigerated that it should sit outside for about 10 minutes. I waited 10 minutes, but it was still hard inside, as if it may have been refrigerated from the day before. The half I took home and left outside was a bit better after sitting out for about 2 hours, but not so much so that I'd return for that or anything else. Customer service is important to any business, but especially to a new business. I wasn't feeling it, and neither were two other customers I witnessed leave after just a brief interaction with the employee. It's too bad because I love to see new local businesses thrive, but they need super friendly employees that make customers feel welcomed. Putting out a better product would make a difference too. Out of curiosity, I just skimmed through recent Yelp reviews of the original Oakland location. They look very mixed, with many expressing dissappointment and the overall sentiment that it has seen better days. read more

Instead of using the recommended vendor from my wedding venue, I researched for bakeries in the Oakland/San Leandro area and found this place. I went on the website to browse the selection and check prices. It was very quick and easy to email the owner about flavors, sizes, and design. I was able to plan just about everything through email which helped so much considering COVID and me working day shift at the hospital. It was very convenient for communication and delivery. I set up at time to go in and so a tasting. It was $10 for 6 cupcakes as the "cake testing" which was quite cheap and efficient considering the average cupcake is typically $3 & up. We chose the marble and coconut for a 2 tier cake. The only reason why I could not give 5 stars is because when I had gone in the day before my wedding, right before my wedding rehearsal, to drop off the flowers for my cake, there was a big miscommunication in the cake design. When confirming my order, they had written down a black frosted cake according to the picture I had sent several weeks prior. I showed them the picture of my desired cake which was navy blue with gold flecks. On their monitor, the same picture appeared to be black. The girl in the front went to check if my cake was already made. It happened to be in the process and was going to be frosted next. Had I gone any later nor never confirmed my cake, I would have had the wrong cake at my wedding. The navy blue coloring they used was also very vibrant and showed up great in pictures, but also stained my teeth which was evident for the rest of the night in all my pictures. Despite all of that, I still highly recommend this bakery for all your special occasion cakes and cupcakes! read more

I lived close to this bakery for years and never walked in because the store front wasn't that cute, but luckily, my sister introduced me to their cakes. The cream cakes are so good! I've tried the mango and a mixed berry one, and they were both delicious. The cake is super light, has fresh fruit in the middle and isn't overly sweet. I'm not a fan of durian, but they also have that too I'll definitely be ordering this again for future birthdays & events! Note: The parking lot is shared with a bunch of shops there and can get really full around meal times read more
