After reading the reviews I wanted to try this place out and order my Goddaughter's 1st Birthday cake from here. I came to the location during hours of operation and they were closed. There was a sign posted on their door visible from outside saying to email for inquiries. I emailed them on Nov. 3rd, but I didn't not receive a response until Nov. 8th. I would've liked to have been able to try their cakes, but I guess they are very busy and not able to respond to inquiries on a timely manner. It happens. read more

I found them through yelp and they were near my work. After several quotes from different places in different cities, they quoted me the lowest for the design I wanted. I didn't want it too pricey a nice it was only my sons 1/2 birthday that I just wanted photos for. It was very easy to email and respond very quickly about 24 hour mark. I showed her the cakes design I want since it's a bit simple without any characters. It was half a 6 inch cake with stars, cloud and name banner. I opted for marble cake and whipped strawberry filling. To book it you have to put it 50% deposit and it's non refundable. It was kinda fifty/fifty with how my parents and inlaw thought about the cake. (FYI, chinese Asian parents hate too much sweets.) My mom loves the marble cake and my in-laws thought it was too sweet. I really thought they both would say it wasn't good since it's too sweet. I did take off the outer layer and did not eat the fondant since it is thick. For me, I think the cake was okay, could be a bit more moist and have more filling. The filing is very thin and I barely taste strawberry flavor. Overall the decoration on the cake was spot on for me and I loved it! The cake was okay to me. The decoration (5/5) and the cake (3.7/5). If it was for the kids eating the cake, I bet they would love this! Email them for custom cakes/quotes : cakesbypinup@gmail.com read more

I used Pin Up Cakes for my wedding and loved how my cake turned out! Everything was done online and was super easy. I sent them inspiration pictures of what I wanted and for how many people. I wanted a smaller cake for just me, my husband and our wedding party as we were doing sheet cake for the guests. After sending the pictures, they gave me different options and broke it down by how much each would cost. I loved that they did that! Since I wanted a 2 tier cake, but it was only for 12 people, they gave me the option to make the top tier out of styrofoam to cut costs! They also gave me options on if I wanted them to make flowers out of fondant, or I could bring them flowers and they would put it on, or I could have my florist do it at the venue. This also helped cut cost. I ended up with a strawberry cake with chocolate frosting and it was so delicious! I'm not a big fondant person so I was worried I wasn't going to like that part, but it was honestly so thin and not super sweet which I was very happy about. read more

I'm new to the area and am still finding my way around the city. My daughter's 5th birthday was coming up and we wanted to get her a unicorn cake because like most kids, that's her thing right now. My friend has been living here for quite sometime and recommended Pin Up Cakes. She said she hadn't tried it herself but had heard good things. Since my options were limited due to covid, and I only needed a small cake, just for my daughter to feel special, I decided to try them out. I ended up ordering a 6" cake that was enough for 10-12 people. I felt it was a little pricey, but this was my first time ordering a specialty cake and had nothing to compare it to. I usually go to Costco for our cakes, so maybe the price was fair, and that's why I'm not knocking any stars for price. The transaction was smooth and sweet, as far as leaving deposit and stuff. The girls were very friend over the phone, email and in person. I sent them a picture of the cake I wanted and they totally delivered. I personally the thought the cake tasted amazing. I'm not a fan of fondant and even that tasted pretty good to me, my brother and sister liked everything, except the fondant, they said it was a bit thick, but I totally disagreed. The "bread" part, sorry I don't know the proper cake terminology, tasted fresh, not stale. Everyone seemed to enjoy it. My baby's first birthday is coming up next month and I will most definitely be placing an order for her cake with them. I guess it's time to kiss those Costco cakes goodbye, I ain't about that life no' mo.' read more

We've now used Pin Up Cakes twice for our son's birthday. This time around, we asked for a Jurassic Park cake.

This was my first time ordering a cake from here. I have been using the same bakery for years but unfortunately they had shut down. I was so nervous to try a new bakery, however I just found my new go to bakery! First off, the cake was absolutely perfect! I sent two pictures and asked them to combine the two photos into one cake. It looks EXACTLY like the pictures I sent. When my three year old saw it, his eyes lit up and he yelled out "WOWWWWWW!" Now, not only did it look amazing, IT TASTED ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! We ordered a cookies and cream cake with fudge filling. The cake was so soft and moist and the fudge filling was perfect. The cake was an absolute hit with all our guests! We look forward to coming here again for our future events! read more

This bakery is definitely a hidden gem. They are extremely talented, professional, and work hard to bring your vision to life. If you go in to the store you will see several sample designs on display. They have unique and cute cake, cookie, and cupcake designs for every occasion. If you're looking for a quick bite they have a few ready made treats that they sell in store. Personally, the Lemon Bars are my favorite. Their lemon bars made my Kim Possible dreams comes true. They also have the chewiest and richest brownies I've ever tasted. Keep in mind they don't have a large selection, but that is due to that fact that they are a "For Order" bakery. Both of the women who work here are extremely kind, helpful, and honest. If you have any questions give them a call and they'll be quick to answer and assist you. Make sure to try something while you're there. You won't be disappointed. read more

It wasn't easy finding a bakery to make 150 wrapped cake pops for our wedding but I'm so fortunate to have found Pin Up Cakes! Prior to ordering the 150 cake pops, I ordered one of each flavor to try them out. They had: strawberry, vanilla, cookies and cream, red velvet, chocolate, and banana. When we got it, we thought the cake pops looked gorgeous and very professionally done. They made them lavender to fit my wedding color and did 3 different designs. The cake pops were so moist and delicious. It was very hard to narrow it down to a few flavors but we went with vanilla, cookies and cream, and strawberry. The strawberry flavored cake pop was my favorite! They made it easy for us to pick it up the day before and we got a lot of positive feedback about how beautiful and delicious the cake pops were! We went with a simple design, so it came out to about $2.25 per pop. They also do more extravagant and creative designs - based on characters and things like that - which looks amazing but of course will be more costly. I would come back for future cakes! read more

My family and I have purchased multiple cakes here for different occasions. Beware, you get for what you pay for here. If you want the over the top and decorated cake, it's going to cost you. If you want something basic with a little more, it's still going to cost you. We've had some pretty nice cakes here that have been on the higher end and some basic cakes that have been a little more than it should. Price varies here based on what you want and the design. Everything is made with foundant, which means lots and lots of thick sugar layer. It's edible but overwhelming. The first cake we got here was super cute, but there was just so much sugar we didn't really eat. I've tried getting a cake with minimal designs and was super disappointed and what I paid for what they made me. From there, we started doing basic cakes with like a picture overlay because the cakes were just getting pricey. Cake flavors are okay. I can't say that I am a fan, but my family does. Their designs are cute and not bad, it's just pricey just to have a decorated accessory for a party that people may or may not eat. read more

Pinup cakes surpassed my expectations. Not only was the cake beautiful, but it tasted really good. We picked the red velvet with cream cheese and the marble with raspberry & whip. Both were delicious. The cake was the exact duplicate of a picture i provided. However, I did not have them add the large characters since I have smal princess figurines I wanted to add. I was truly happy with the outcome, as were my guests. They did the cookies too exactly what we hoped to have. I will continue to order from them. They were very friendly in addition to their amazing work. They were very patient with me as well, which I appreciate since I wasn't sure if we would be able to squeeze extra items into the budget. I recommend them to anyone looking for a really amazing looking cake. It was a bit higher priced than I am used to, but their work was worth it. read more

I was extremely excited to have a custom cake created for a milestone stone birthday for my boyfriend, until Pin Up Cakes ruined my experience. They have extremely limited work hours, never answer the phone, voice mail box is full even if you tried, only in their "store front" on Saturday's. Communication is not their strong point and provide terrible customer service. After emailing back and forth for 2 weeks trying to get answers (that could've been handled in one 10 min phone call). I wanted to pay over the phone or in person, they only offered via email which i did not feel comfortable with. They told me on a Saturday we are closed on Sunday's and Monday's so i must pay by tuesday. On Monday I emailed them that I will come in on Tuesday and pay. They responded Tuesday morning"were only open on Saturday if you have to pay today." I called on Tuesday to pay and NO Answer, I emailed on Tuesday telling them i called twice, no answer, voice mail was full and to please contact me back, received NO response. I followed up on Wednesday via email again for them to respond telling me they are no longer willing to take my order! Absolutely worst customer service, they do not take accountability for not being accessible to customers, completely unprofessional and in my opinion probably their side job. read more

We'll definitely be going back for more cake!!! read more

MOST WELL-DESERVED REVIEW! Aileen is an incredible human being. Words can not convey how much I admire her and her work. Our experience has always been positive with Pinup Cakes. The quality of the work is phenomenal. My favorite combo for cake and filling is her Bavarian cream with vanilla or red velvet cake. Even though, I no longer reside near Whittier, I will drive 45 min each way to pick up my children's birthday cakes from PUC. Sadly, due to the corona virus, we have not been able to place an order for nearly three years. I was so elated to know that Alieen and her staff had weathered the storm, and were still in business creating amazing memories for our families. I'm including photo of a cake that they did for my daughter pre-covid, and a cake that she did for my son inMay, 2022. Please keep in mind that I called her merely a week before the actual party and she produced a masterpiece. No other cake shop would have done the same. Alieen, I look forward to working with you again in October. With my warmest regards!!!! Annie read more

I really really dislike these cakes and the horrible customer service when you tell them that there.cakes taste like butter instead of buttercream and the fondant is thicker then the cake layers!!! So with both being so thick and no cake, makes these cakes so horrible, no one at your party even eats it!!! I will NEVER purchase one of there high priced, grossly tasting cakes ever again!! So if you have read this and many other reviews that say basically the same thing about these horrible cakes, then that's all you need to never even attempt to buy a cake from here!!! Believe me, you will truly be disappointed and wish you had paid attention to the reviews!! Oh and this is what a cake is supposed to look like in the picture I'm posting with this review that I bought from another bakery!! And it was delicious!!! Everyone ate it and enjoyed it!!

Our first born turned 16 during the Covid pandemic. As a mother you want to give your kids normalcy as much as possible. I used Yelp to find a local source that alone by reviews helped me decide where I wanted to get her special cake. Pin Up Cakes did not let us down. First offering us options that led us to a fondant covered cake to best fit our space themed decoration. Oh and the taste...holy smokes, this cake was divine! Loves the filling of strawberry I fished whipped cream with sliced fresh bananas. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

I was really surprised that the two owners thought that their mini cupcakes were acceptable like this. Most of the vanilla ones were not even round (please see pictures). When I voiced my disappointment, one of the owners excused herself to go and talk to the other one. She came back and said she could, "shave off" the parts that were baked over. I didn't have the time for that nor do I think it's acceptable to present cupcakes that are "shaven off" at a baby shower. That would look awful! We ended up just tossing those. ** Also, please note that this has been an ongoing problem for this business. Someone else posted the SAME issue about 10 months ago! Clearly, they're not interested in fixing this issue. I wish I would have seen that review. ** I'm so disappointed. I thought this might be a good local bakery to use in the future. The other owner was helpful in helping me design the cake we also bought & it was decent (although there were parts of the cake that were stained). However, the cupcakes alone demonstrate a lack of care or professionalism on the owners' part. I suggest you get your order early if you choose to go with this business, so you have time to make adjustments if needed. read more

I was looking everywhere in LA to do a custom cake of Mickey Mouse and so many places either said they were booked for the rest of the month or told me it was going to be $350. I found on Instagram another place but unfortunately they said they were booked but recommended this custom cake place, Pinup cakes. I messaged the girl and she said that they could do the cake for $105. Still way too pricey but I thought it is a detailed cake. So I went through with the deposit of $55 and then paid $50 when I got there. When I first looked at the cake I was blown away! Then as I noticed the fondant was cracking in the back already, the ears in the back were also cracking in the back and had white powder on it. I was still like "you know what it's perfect for the price" Later that evening I did what the baker told me to which was take the cake out 2 hours prior to serving. It was easy to cut and my friend loved it BUT! The cake was like eating pounds of sugar in one bite and I'm not even exaggerating. I don't know if they did that accidentally but it was horrible. Chocolate cake should have a bit more of a chocolate side but it was like they add brown syrup to a vanilla cake and added more sugar. It also had a chocolate layer of frosting or some chocolate filling in between and then all of a sudden you get these chocolate pieces. It was one of the worst tasting cakes you could ever imagine. Guests did not even finish their cake slice because it was way too sweet and most of it went in the trash. I felt embarrassed of that cake. I cannot give it one star because it was just too damn cute of a cake, BUT I will give it two because the taste alone was just bad. read more

Details were spot on. Sweetness was extreme. The buttercream was at least an inch thick, making it inedible. The cake itself was moist and the filling was delicious.

My normal bakery is closed for remodeling & I needed a cake for a baby shower I was hosting, I found Pin Up Cakes on yelp & based on their reviews & pics I decided to take a chance! Their location is in a small quaint strip mall, upon entry of the store it has a few tables and display case of cakes, I was greeted immediately and of course I had no idea what type of cake I wanted I just new what colors & flavors lol, they were so helpful even drew it out on a paper for me so I could get an idea! WOW! I did not want fondant because in the past it's been very hard to cut even when taken out few hours in advance. So we opted for a 2 tier cake with buttercream, vanilla cake & fresh strawberry filling. When I picked the cake up it was taller than I thought it would be! My cake was basic not extravagant with detail, but it was still BEAUTIFUL & tasted sooooo goood!!! All the guests raved about how beautiful it was & how delicious it tasted! I recommend this bakery & I would definitely come back here, their prices are not as competitive & slightly higher as my go to bakery in Norwalk but the taste & presentation was well worth it! My fiancé birthday is next month, soooo now I have another excuse to order a cake!! Thank you Pin Up Cakes!! read more

We chose Pin Up Cakes for our wedding because they have really creative ideas and affordable prices. They are true artists. We knew the cakes looked good, but we were pleasantly surprised that they tasted amazing, too. We went in for a tasting and they had crafted up something amazing and new in addition to what we requested. We ended up going with 3 types of cupcakes: red velvet with cream cheese (always a crowd pleaser) and two seasonal flavors since it was a halloween wedding: pumpkin with cinnamon chocolate frosting and maple with cream cheese frosting (it tasted like a donut!). As for the cake, we had a vague idea of what we wanted but they worked with us to make it truly customized. We chose a chocolate cake with ganache and buttercream frosting. We got so many compliments on our cupcakes and people were taking boxes of them home. My boss gave some to his kids the next day and they kept asking for more! The most special part was that Pin Up Cakes gave us a surprise of three beautifully decorated cookies with our favorite images, and a picture of us on it as a wedding gift! My brother got his hands on them and said they were so good, he was taking little bites so they would last longer. Not to self: try the cookies next time. They really made our wedding special. I highly recommend them! read more

I found Pin Up Cakes here on Yelp. I made an appointment for a cake tasting and provided them with the theme and ideas for my daughters birthday party. I was open to their creativity and input. They sketched something out for me, and I was happy. The day of my daughters party they delivered the cake and I was blown away. These ladies did a beautiful and fantastic job. The bottom tier was amazingly done and I'm sure was very tedious. Everyone at the party complimented the look of the cake as well as how it tasted. So worth the money!! I would recommend Pin Up Cakes to anyone and everyone!! I will also be using them again. **Thank you ladies. You two are an amazing team and so unbelievably talented!!!** read more
