    My 'Kikay' Cupcakes
    Jackie F.

    She made my 'kikay' cupcakes for my 25th birthday. Very flexibe, nice and sweet. I am very pleased of her creation. Oops, did I mention the taste? 4 people finished 8 regular cupcakes and 20+ mini cakes in no time. So now, I'm pledging cakes/cupcakes for my friends parties this year and I'll be ordering it from here! :)

    Our wedding cake!

    Shantal was recommended to me by my brother in law and I am so glad I took his recommendation under consideration. She is extremely organized, hard working, and knows exactly what she needs to do. After meeting her for our cake testing, I knew 100% that she was the one! She is very prompt and quick to respond to emails. We ended up choosing the "chocolate dulce de leche" flavor for our wedding cake and it was a great hit! Some of my family members who said they don't normally care for chocolate cake were raving about how delicious the cake was! Also the cake looked BEAUTIFUL! I was so happy with the end result! If anyone is ever looking for a cake vendor for any occasion I will be sure to recommend Shantal!

    Nightmare before Christmas cake with minimal fondant and cupcake top layer
    christine k.

    So many good things to say about Shakar Bakery and Shantal the owner/baker. Shantal made an amazing 3 layer cake for my fiance and his sister's birthday 10/2012- Nightmare Before Christmas-themed vanilla cake with chocolate ganache and top layer pumpkin flavor muffin/cupcake with cinnamon frosting. After a lot of back and forth messaging (due to picky eaters and ever-changing ideas for the look of the cake and event date- she was so understanding, patient, and easy to work with) we ended up with the most delicious, moist cake made with free-range eggs and grass-fed cow milk and butter. Shantal was so accommodating to my fiance's request that the cake not have very much fondant on top, that she re-designed the cake to figure out how to keep it moist while still using the smallest amount of fondant. However, after tasting the fondant she had used for decorating, it was so delicious, we wished there had been more! Note to self for next time, definitely go with her suggestions. I was so happy communicating with her throughout the design process and eating the final cake- YUM! Everyone at the party loved the cake and my fiance really enjoyed having his own personal pumpkin muffin on top. For my bridal shower 3/2013 Shakar Bakery set up a sweet table (in collaboration with Paper&Fondant for the decorations). Once, again, I was so very impressed with Shakar Bakery- the sweet table went so so perfectly with the orange and white theme of the shower. I was also able to pick up the cellophane bags from Shantal ahead of time so I could add personalized stickers to them. I'm so glad I ordered extra candies and chocolate covered oreos- there was pretty much nothing left of the candies and oreos by the end of the shower. Success! Finally, I went back to Shakar Bakery once again in 9/2013, this time for cupcakes for my fiance's birthday. Once again, flavor and presentation went above and beyond our expectations- flavors I ordered were: Chocolate Dulce De Leche, Red Velvet, Classic Chocolate, Orange Blossom, Peanut Butter, and Dark Chocolate Guinness. Each one was better than the one before it. So moist and delicious. We look forward to doing business with Shakar Bakery again and again in the future.

    My cart deco chandelier cake!

    My wedding finally came and went and Shantal did NOT retire. I really wanted a different type of cake for my wedding. I think the only thing I told Shantal was upside art deco lol. She filled in the rest. I gave her full creative control because I trusted her. Everyone loved the cake at the wedding and it tasted AMAZING! Thank you Shantal for everything!

    When you have 4 celebrations and last minute you call a SUPER, TALENTED Engineer, Baker and Food Network Star.... you get the most AMAZING cake that tastes out of this world and looks AWESOME! I can't thank you enough Shantal for making this happen for our big family party!!

    Shower cake for my baby girl, Louise 3 (No she's not named after the Bob's Burgers character, just a happy coincidence!)

    What can I even say about Shantal and her amazing bakery that hasn't been said? She is a wonderful baker and artist! I was surprised today by my insanely delicious baby shower cake! The strawberry and cream cupcakes that were with the order were so delicious, fresh and moist. Easily one of the best cupcakes I have ever eaten. I can't wait to eat everything that was leftover (and invite my friends back for cake!) Two days prior to getting my beautiful unicorn and rainbow cake, I loved the picture she posted on instagram of the topper. Little did I know IT WAS MY CAKE TOPPER!! Her artistry is beyond anything one could imagine. It's no wonder she won Cake Wars. Truly a talent needed in the world of cake!

    Just YUM!

    Shakar bakery designed an adorable Peppa Pig themed birthday cake for our daughter! Shantal was so accommodating and put her own creative twist on the design. As for taste- haven't had a more decadent, soft, buttery, smooth and delicious piece of cake ever!! I wish we still had some left over- we devoured it! Definitely recommend for any cake needs for kids and adults! Wish Shakar bakery only success!

There's a self serving kiosk but I crashed at some point when we were looking through our choices. We ended up having the worker help us. They helped me choose my flavor because I was debating on either smores or banana. I'm glad I ended up with banana! Banana(8/10): The cake part basically tasted like banana bread and it was quite delicious! As much as I enjoyed it, I thought the frosting was overly sweet. I would still choose that flavor if I were to choose again! Protein(0/10): I thought the whole thing was very dry and it didn't help with the frosting being overly sweet. Definitely, will not be choosing this again. Service(10/10): They were kind and helpful! I accidentally dropped my cupcake and I was devastated!

It's not my favorite bakery in Little Tokyo and I'd rather get Yamazaki's nikuman and as Cafe Dulce's name implies, they have a wider range and are more known for their sweet pastries (not saying that they don't have non-sweet things). They're almost always a part of the huge collaborations that Little Tokyo has, think the Hoyo slop stuff or the crazy Silent Hill one. Lots of art on their windows and they usually have a collab drink or something. Just know that depending on how popular the collab is, and even if it isn't, this place has lines out the door and is quite fisted. Tables in front are always full of people. Drinks are hit and miss. Every latte I've gotten, even with mixing is grainy sweet coffee slop and the matcha isn't too great either (way better options in the area), but if you have a sweet tooth for pastries it's not too bad. Decadent cream donuts, mochi donuts, savory sausage donuts, and creme brulee ones too. Shareable, but something I'd need to down with milk or some water.

They were so apologetic when I came and they offered me a different cupcake, but I declined and they gave me a free cupcake to use on a future order (that expired in six months). Jump to yesterday when I remembered I still had that coupon to redeem that was about to expire. And as it turned out, I was already planning a trip to the westside. The coupon code they had given me didn't work on their website, so I emailed customer service for assistance. They were so helpful and redeemed it for me, asking what flavor and time I wanted to pick it up. My heart raced again, fearful I would drive all that way and they would run out of the last vegan cupcake. The customer service person assured me that they would put it aside for me with my name on it. I arrived about 10 minutes after the time I had ordered it for, as traffic was atrocious. Thankfully I found a meter across the street to park at. When I arrived, the employee enthusiastically greeted me and had such a great bubbly energy. The store itself was fun and vibrant. She was very helpful in finding my item, which had been placed in the back of the store. She brought it out and it was clearly labeled on the box that it was the vegan red velvet, so I could be assured it was indeed mine. When I got home, I ate the cupcake. It was so rich and indulgent and they do such an amazing job creating a soft delectable cake with a smooth and creamy cheesecake frosting. The frosting is the perfect balance of sweet with just a little bit of tartness. Despite being so rich, the dairy free frosting didn't upset my stomach, so I was able to eat more in one sitting than I anticipated!
