We were shooting a movie scene In Eagle Rock and learned that our line producer was celebrating a birthday. Where to get a cake at the last minute? Searching Yelp, I found Ruby Bakery, and I hit the cake jackpot. I selected one of the vanilla strawberry cakes they had on display, the staffer quickly and expertly added a "happy birthday" message, and I paid a very reasonable price for a cake that ended up feeding over 20 people. For a small additional amount -- I think under $1 -- I bought a plastic cake cutter, since of course I'd forgotten to bring one. The cake was a huge hit! Light, flavorful, fresh-tasting. It disappeared quickly. (We have had two prior birthdays where people brought in sheet cakes --from other bakeries -- that ended up getting mostly thrown away.) I wish I were closer to Eagle Rock, as Ruby Bakery would be my go-to for celebrations. Those of you fortunate enough to live nearby, I don't think you can get a better cake anywhere in LA, especially not at this price. They do not take credit cards, but Zelle works! read more

My friends have brought Ruby's cakes to parties before, so I knew they were good, but this was my first time grabbing one myself. Will absolutely be back. Turnaround time was great! Cake itself was excellent. Went with a chocolate with raspberry filling. Delicious. The service was very kind and helpful. I hope these folks stay in business a long time!! Support local bakeries! read more

I love this bakery We always get the strawberry with almond shaving. Everyone is always so nice and helpful. I feel like everytime I do a last min. customized cake they get it done. The cake is not too sweet and not too heavy. Also very affordable. I will continue to order from them. read more

This bakery never disappoints! The fresh strawberry and whipped cream is so light and satisfying - not super sweet! Guests enjoyed the cake with seconds being served. I decorated the cake just before we left the bakery! Cake was ready when we arrived and the shop helped box and tent the cake for our car travel to the venue. Recommend for your party and events! read more

Ruby Bakery always comes through! My daughter made a last minute request for a Confetti cake w/ vanilla custard filling and whip cream frosting in Tiffany Blue- they made it happen in 24 hours, so grateful. I normally would get their FRESH Strawberries in Vanilla cake w/ whip cream & sliced almonds for special occasions and birthdays - FYI, they have them readily available for purchase in different sizes and I believe they have other fresh fruit choices to choose from like mango and peach, as well. Give them a try, you wont be disappointed. 10 out of 10 for me. read more

This is my first time ordering a cake from them and they did not disappoint! I ordered a month in advance and Amy was great to call me the night before to make sure she got my requests right. I regret not ever ordering from them before. But then again, I wasn't much to celebrate, until I had a child. I'll definitely be ordering future cakes with them! read more

Been coming here for years so it's tough one to be upset about. However, the cake in my opinion looked very rushed and sloppy. The icing ropes looked melted. And on top of that, my daughter's name was misspelled. They "fixed" it and I got back a horrible correction. It looked so bad half scrapped off. Who does that?! And the solution? Take your cake and $15 back and that's it. I get it, errors happen but even with this being THEIR error, the young girl behind the counter gave me nothing but dirty looks, eye rolls and never offered an apology. I'm guessing she's not the owner so I'm sure she doesn't care. At least the two older folks were trying to remedy their error. Either way, I was so disappointed that the cake was ugly and misspelled. I feel like I got completely ripped off. I paid way too much for this. This cake was embarrassing to present for pictures. Cake flavor was good. Cake image was terrible. read more

Ruby Bakery is an family, community favorite. CAKES are delicious and beautiful! Friendly faces and service. Best Cake place in town!

I've been going to Ruby's bakery for years and it has never disappointed! My favorite pastries are the eclair, the butterfly and of course the chocolate and coconut kisses. I've also had their strawberry cake and mango cake and both are super delicious. I ordered a custom cake for the first time recently and was SO impressed. It looked exactly like the inspo pic I sent , was super affordable and was so gorgeous. The birthday girl was so excited and it was so delicious!! 100% recommend. I added the butterflies (just a quick Amazon purchase) but the rest was the work of the amazing bakers and decorators. read more

Ruby Bakery - Custom cake - Bakeries Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Ruby's Bakery is hands down the most underrated cake spot between Highland Park and Eagle Rock. Everything tastes unbelievably fresh--like it was made minutes before you walked in. The quality is always consistent, and you know exactly what you're getting every time: something light, perfectly balanced, and genuinely delicious. This isn't the kind of cake you eat once and forget about--it's the kind you keep going back to, slice after slice, until it's gone. Never too heavy, never overly sweet, just right. The customer service is just as special--warm, welcoming, and family-like. It's cash only, prices are more than fair, and honestly, it feels like one of those rare neighborhood gems that hasn't lost its soul. We've been getting our cakes here for over a decade, and we're so grateful to have Ruby's in our neighborhood. read more

I have to admit the cakes here are good but I'm not sure they're worth the price anymore. She literally doubled the price on the cakes!! They charge an absurd amount of money for a very small, barely there cake. I know the economy is bad but there's no excuse for price gauging. If you go to Porto's Bakery you'll get a bigger cake for a lot less money. The service isn't the best either. read more

These days, it's hard to find quality at a fair price. I absolutely love Ruby Bakery! I typically go for the chocolate with strawberry filling, but their vanilla-strawberry is also popular and delicious. The cake is light, fluffy, and doesn't taste overly sweet (I.e., I don't experience sugar crashes after consumption). read more

This review for Eagle Rock's Ruby Bakery is long overdue. I've sampled many of their birthday cakes over the decades from various family & friends' gatherings. I've always found them to be really good cakes. They're never dry and are always a hit at parties. Recently, I wanted a birthday cake for my mom. I asked my lady to call and place the order for a cake that would feed 15-20 people. I wanted it to be a chocolate cake that was half banana and half strawberry. She ordered a 1/4 sheet sized cake after consulting with Ruby Bakery staff. They were very helpful. Needless to say, the cake was a hit with my entire family who had it and sampled both flavors of it. But more importantly, my mom enjoyed her birthday cake a lot. The cake was moist and the chocolate cream was delicious. The strawberry was great and so was the banana. I think, for me, I liked the strawberry a little bit more than the banana. But both were delicious. One detail I've always liked on their cakes are the shaved almonds all along the sides of the entire cake. So good. Metered street parking out front. Located on Eagle Rock Blvd near the intersection with Colorado Blvd. Staff was friendly. Bakery showroom floor was well kept. Display cases were clear and easy to peruse. We also purchased birthday candles and butterflies. They were good but just too sweet for me. read more

Every year I order my daughter's birthday cake from Ruby Bakery. People love how light and airy their whipped cream style frosting is on their cakes. I bring different designs each year and they do an amazing job on the cake decorating. The staff is so friendly and helpful.

Yes! Yes! Yes!!! Ruby's cakes are the best!!!! Light , airy , fresh and fluffy . I've been their customer for almost a decade and I simply love all the simple yet delicious flavor of their cakes. My favorites are the fresh banana cream cake and the fresh strawberry cake. They have beautiful occasion cakes and they can make whatever design you'd prefer for any occasion . They are just artsy like that and they do not disappoint. If you want to get a slice and try it out before you buy a whole cake they have buy by the slice . I love this option because sometimes I'm a super indecisive foodie and I have to have a taste of all they have to offer .... I have had interactions with almost every person working at Ruby's and I must say they are wonderful and very accommodating. If you want fresh , light, and airy occasion cakes I highly recommend Ruby's . read more

Ruby Bakery - Dirty 30 cake - Bakeries Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Really reasonably priced cakes. Got the chocolate and the strawberry shortcake one. Light and fluffy.

Absolutely love this bakery. It was recommended by a friend years ago. I order cakes for all occasions, birthdays, Mother's Day, etc. For my sister's sweet 15 (quinceañera) she had an idea and they by far exceeded it. For my younger brother's wedding, we set up a cake tasting and told them the vision they had. Staff was super helpful. They were able to personalize the cake with their wedding florals. We opted to have a two tier and sheet cake to be cut in the back by staff. They offer delivery and setup which gave us peace of mind. They are super affordable and family owned! Did I forget to mention they have amazing cream puffs!!!? read more
