I've had the pleasure of receiving cakes from the amazing Maksen Cake House twice before, and the third time was when I finally decided to custom order one of my own and just WOW! Absolutely incredible! "Mouthwatering" doesn't even begin to describe how delicious their cakes are. Every bite was perfection, and the attention to detail on my custom cake was just beautiful. You can truly taste the love and talent that goes into every creation. needless to say, I'll be back!!!!!! read more

Wow wow WOW. AGAIN!!! Professional, tasty, beautiful! I can't recommend Maksen enough!!

I found Maksen on yelp. They took my order last minute and create a beautiful money cake that was so much fun and delicious! Thank you!

One of the best experiences buying anything from anyone. Helen was so lovely and took such special care with the cake we ordered. I sent a photo reference and she simply nailed it. She was so warm, hind and lovely that the entire experience of simply buying a cake was elevated to the point that I feel compelled to leave a 5 star review and to let people know that this is a small business you should support! The cake was for my daughter's birthday and Helen gave her flowers. She didn't have to. It was such a sweet gesture and my daughter LOVED that. Thank you for a wonderful experience, for being such a warm, inviting, kind, generous and TALENTED person. We will be back for our next cake! read more

I recently visited Maksen Cake House, from the very first moment, I knew I was in for a special experience. The warm, bright smile of the owner, Mrs. Heghine, immediately made me feel at home. She takes the time to walk you through every detail of the pastries, and it's clear just how much love, passion, and effort she puts into her work. The presentation alone is exceptional. The design of the boxes, the craftsmanship behind each pastry, and the immaculate cleanliness of the shop are truly out of this world. Their cakes are not only beautiful but also incredibly precise in detail. As for the pastries themselves: fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. They exceeded every expectation. At the event I attended, people were already excited the moment they saw the signature Maksen box, and the taste fully lived up to the hype. I can confidently say I've found a new favorite spot in town. Maksen Cake House is a gem, and I can't wait to go back for my pastries and custom-made cakes! read more

Again, Maksen knocked it out of the park! My son's first birthday cake was incredible--inside and out! read more

I was so happy with our wedding cake. It looked beautiful, tasted amazing, and the service was professional and on time. Highly recommend!

Tried it for the first time today since I was craving a good chocolate cake. Oh it was really good! To top it off the service from the lady up front was just genuine and she was so helpful. I had the tiramisu, the chocolate cake and 3 eclairs. All 3 different pastries were worth coming back for. While waiting I noticed that the store has been nominated multiple times for top store for yelp, not surprised after experiencing it for myself. Will definitely come back for more. read more

I give three stars for friendly service. Helen is kind and accommodating. Her cake itself was not even as good as a Vons birthday cake. No exaggeration, her butter frosting tastes just like cold butter with no sugar. Several guests commented on it. I've never ever experienced frosting that is legitimately cold butter. It was wild. Cake decor was close to what we discussed, but edging was more butter and no chocolate frosting edging as we discussed. Cake was average, not very moist or great in flavor. The filling was the only thing about the cake that was delicious. The handwriting on the cake, was amateur at best. I think they should go back to the drawing board and take some cake writing classes. Maybe her cakes covered in fondant are what she's known for? She went on and on about how delicious her cakes are and she only uses the most expensive ingredients...I've been buying cakes and ordering cakes for clients for years and I would beg to differ based on below average taste. I wish the owners of this bakery the best, but this is the first and last time I buy a cake from Maksen. read more

i had the little fruit tarts on a few occasions, brought by family, and it's been my favorite dessert every time. easily, i've eaten 6 in one sitting despite being full after a large meal. 0 complaints read more

Delicious cake and excellent service ! Helen was very kind and definitely recommend the space.

The cake and cupcakes I had made by this bakery were the worse I've ever eaten. The cupcakes were hard, dry and overbaked. The icing just covered up how dark they were. The cake I purchased for a momentous occasion was a disaster. I asked for icing and got that fount stuff. It was awful!!! The cutting of the cake (or serving of it )was unthinkable! Never never use these people for anything ! What they promise is not what you get! I was embarrassed and ashamed for presenting this to my Mom as something beautiful and delicious; which it wasn't! BUYER BEWARE!!!! read more

Maksen Cake impressed me once again! Heghine made my vision into a reality for my bridal shower. Besides being a creative cake artist, she is one of the kindest women I've come across. If you're looking for a cake for your special event, trust me, go with Maksen Cake house! The cake is delicious !! ( I am ordering my wedding cake here as well ) read more

I was looking for a very very last minute cake and I called this shop for the first time. Helen was the one who took my order over the phone. I had explained to her that I needed a last minute very girly cake and that I was near her shop to pick up within half an hour. She prioritized my order without hesitation and gave me exactly what I was looking for. Not only was she accommodating, her pricing for the cake was also reasonable! Her shop is so pretty and she also offers other pastries as well. Thank you again Helen for your generosity. The parking for the shop also has 2 designated spots along with a public parking and street parking. read more

We ordered a custom star shaped cake, that had both chocolate and vanilla cake/ frosting. The cake was incredible and the design was done perfectly. That's not all, we also had an issue where we could not pick up the cake on the scheduled day (our fault). The lovely woman said she would hold onto the cake and come in on her day off for us to pick it up, which was incredible and took a huge weight off our shoulders. Nothing but positive things to say about this place and I'm definitely recommending this place to anyone and everyone who will listen! Thank you so much for going above and beyond! read more

My friend told me he wanted Coconut Cream birthday cake for our church birthday celebration two days away. Little did I know, this is a special order cake with a minimum 7 day preparation time. I must've called 25 bakeries. About to give up at 6 pm Friday night--I decide to google best coconut cream cake in Los Angeles and to my delight, several reviews mentioned Maksen Cake House Bakery, it was 5 mi from my place, and they were open til 8 pm. Other reviews mentioned how they had a last minute cake order & they always came through. I rushed over after work. They agreed to do a 10x10 Raffaello Coconut Cream sheet cake. They gave me a sample & it was delicious! I picked it up Sunday before church and to my surprise it was a huge a 4 layer sheet cake more than enough for all our attendees! The cake was more than just delicious, it was moist, not too sweet, & everyone commented on how amazing it was! It was the perfect cake to honor our birthday celebrants and the crowning touch was salted caramel ice cream! Thank you Maksen, for making this birthday celebration a huge success! You are my go-to bakery from here on out! read more

I needed a cake for a co-wotker's birthday, and decided to try a place that I was unfamiliar with.

Everyone loved the cake and I'll definitely be back. read more

Maksen Cake House has been my go to for pastries for a while now. Hegine, the owner, is sincerely the sweetest and most genuine lady ever along with the two gentlemen that always assist her at the cash register. I'm all about customer service and I've never once had a bad experience here. Which is why I keep returning for any occasion. Aside from the great service they provide, their pastries are always fresh and extra yummy! I even suggested that they increase their prices because they were way too inexpensive compared to other local bakeries. My favorite amongst all her amazing cakes, pastries and goodies has to be the fruit tart I purchased last week! For all you fruit tart lovers, give Maksen Cake House a try, you won't be dissatisfied and thats a promise! read more

Delicios fruit tart! Fresh fruit and a lot of custard, my only "problem" I guess I can say or criticize would be the cookie it's either way too thick or too hard but you have to eat with a real fork and stab it down in order to literally break apart. Eating it is delicious I have nothing bad to say about the fruit tart by far it's superb. Again the only thing would be the cookie being very hard to cut while eating you need a good amount of pressure to cut through but once you cut a bite size it's fine. I understand the fresh fruits but somehow I miss the peaches. The lady that greeted me was super nice and was going to prep a different size for me no problem. read more
