Disappointed a child and a whole family with quite possibly the worst, most expensive "cake" we've ever thrown away. If they're baked daily why are they frozen? Once you thaw it then you're tasting something you would not feed your child. Would've been happier with any super market cake. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They had a huge line out the door so we thought this cake is gonna be good! It was embarrassing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I stopped by Susie's Cakes on a Saturday to pick up a birthday cake for my partner. I grabbed one of the small ready-made cakes from the display case, thinking it would be a safe and easy option. The employee told me that if I planned to serve it the next day, I should take it out about four hours beforehand, which I did. I really wanted to impress my guests and felt like I was going all out by getting a cake from here. When we finally cut into it, it was extremely dry. It was honestly embarrassing to serve, especially since everyone was looking forward to trying it. For a cake that cost around $60 and was smaller than a typical 6-inch, the quality just didn't match at all. Overall, it was a big letdown and felt like a waste of money. I wouldn't trust buying one of their pre-made cakes again. read more

Came for their cookies and yes, they are still amazing. I tried the chocolate chip and the snickerdoodles and both are yummy. Soft and chewy with a small crispy crust. My friend told me the cakes here arent too sweet so ill have to check them out next time when i get a birthday cake. read more

I finally got to try SusieCakes this weekend and I'm happy to report it was worth the wait! I was in Pasadena so I went to this location but it's nice to know that have multiple locations around the city. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The Pasadena location was nice and spacious and very clean and cute.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have a nice large parking space in the back as well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I went on a Sunday around 6:30 pm so it was pretty empty, which was nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I think the bigger crowds are earlier in the day. They close at 7 pm so I just made it. Luckily they still had a few cupcakes left and plenty of the cakes left. I decided to get a slice of their old fashioned chocolate cake, and 4 cupcakes to go. I got a red velvet, a chocolate, a vanilla, and a mocha cupcake. Everything was delicious but I have to say that the old fashioned chocolate cake slice was my favorite. They give you a ginormous piece too which is nice when you have that craving. All the cakes were very moist and the buttercream was sweet but not crazy sweet which I really appreciated. Overall, it was a great experience. I can't wait to come back again and run some of their other cakes and cupcakes! read more

Ingredients are fresh and clean as possible to organic. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The shop is very bright and clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]You can see directly into the kitchen from the glass wall.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The servicer are nice and answers as many questions you may have. Now there is a payment issue that I have glued into my mind, so what I will say, have cash, a debit card, and credit card when trying to make a purchase, because one or 2 of these methods of payments isn't accented. Now, the flavorfulcakes are pricey. I would always get my cakes for all my events, however, the increase of cost has gone past my price point. I don't shop there as often as I used to. read more

For those who don't know, SusieCakes offers a free cake slice on your birthday if you make a purchase via their app. I went to get a slice for my wife's upcoming birthday, but the staff explained I needed to make a purchase earlier in the year to redeem the offer. While I was a bit disappointed, I understood. The staff immediately offered a free cupcake, which was incredibly kind and hospitable. I ordered a slice of Chocolate Marble Cake, which was decent, though a little inconsistent - some parts were moist, others dry. My wife loved her strawberry cupcake because it wasn't too sweet. I thought it was okay; I prefer other flavors. I'll definitely try the rich chocolate cake and another flavored cupcake, like coconut, next time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]While there's no indoor seating, they kindly suggested we could sit outside at Randy's and Five Guys, as they share the same outdoor space.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]However, the tables were quite dirty, but it was nice to have a place to sit and enjoy our treats.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We will definitely be back! read more

I got this birthday cake and served five hours later after sitting At room temperature. Honestly have nothing positive to say about the cake except the appearance. The cake was dry and just had the texture that it had been sitting for several days in a refrigerator. I could be wrong but I would not get another one of their products. Hugely disappointing and to add that at 63 dollars this comes up short of cakes which cost significantly less. I hope they improve the freshness of their product I think paying customers who can afford a 63 dollar cake would expect better. read more

Stopped by here on a Friday morning. I've had SusieCakes a few times at other locations where someone else brought cupcakes as part of a celebration. I got a mini red velvet and a regular mocha. The mini red velvet had an almost crispy top and wasn't super moist. I still found it pleasant since it's so small and wasn't expecting it to live up to what a full sized cupcake is like. The cream cheese frosting was perfect. The full sized one was moist and the buttercream frosting was also amazing, but I found it a little overwhelming especially when paired with the white chocolate sprinkles on top. Not a huge deal since you can always wipe some of it off, but it did overpower the cupcake a little. Overall solid cupcakes! read more

I tried the holiday cookies from an event & they we soft & nicely sweetened! I happened to pass by this location & had to try a cake I got a slice of cake for about $8, chocolate marble. It was good but I recommend not putting it in the fridge right away as it made it more tough but when it came to room temperature, the cake was a nice texture Need to come back to try more read more

I don't come here nearly often enough which is probably a good thing cause I'd gain so much weight. Cakes are classic. You can get slices or cupcakes. They even have cookies. I got several different flavors on this occasion to try. My fav was the lemon. It had a nice tart flavor. I could have done without the sugar sprinkles cause it was sweet enough with just the frosting. Candy cane chocolate was seasonal. Peppermint and chocolate flavored which probably sounded better than it tasted. It was ok but not special enough. Carrot cake had slivers of zucchini I think. It was good and my son's favorite. My daughter liked the red velvet but I didn't think it was anything special. I got my husband the traditional chocolate which he said was ok. Slices were large enough to share or for two servings. read more

I ordered SusieCakes through the Too Good To Go app for $6.99, which is supposed to be a bag valued at at least $20. I've seen people get huge hauls from other SusieCakes locations, so I was curious to try this one. This location was decent -- I got 4 cupcakes and a cookie, which isn't bad for the price. The cupcakes were tasty, though I wasn't completely sure what each flavor was. I think I got a lemon cupcake, a flourless chocolate, a regular chocolate, and a peanut butter cupcake, plus a snickerdoodle cookie. Everything was sweet and enjoyable. Not sure if I'd get the Too Good To Go bag from this location again, but overall it was a good experience, and the service was friendly. read more

Susie's cakes at 264 S. Lake Ave. in Pasadena was a delightful surprise in our first time visit. They have many cakes on display which you could buy by the slice or buy whole cake and they're ready to go. They had a variety of cupcakes as well as holiday themed sugar, cookies that are iced. We got two slices of cake the carrot cake, which was unbelievable and the chocolate chip banana cake that was out of this world. I'm not a sweets person, but I ended up eating the whole slice. The portions are generous. The staff are friendly polite in our point so you're In-N-Out in a flash. Will definitely be going back to Susie's cakes in Pasadena for more delicious treats. read more

We saw Susie's cakes as we were walking on the street and decided to stop by for dessert. We got a chocolate chip cookie and a carrot cake, the carrot cake was good, personally a little too much nuts for me, but the flavor was good.

Not a huge cake fan, but my wife loves Susie Cakes, so I ordered the Summer Strawberry Whip Cake for her birthday, and I am now a cake fan. So light and delicious. Perfection. It's a seasonal limited time only. Better jump on it. Also, really nice staff at the Pasadena Lake Avenue store. read more

Old favorite. I've been a SusieCakes walk-in customer for almost twenty years. Recently, I put in an online order. It had special instructions. The items were made as requested and ready for pick up on time. You pre-pay on the website, so it's easy. Their items are fresh and delicious. They have a skilled home baker taste aka real ingredients rather than artificial whatever. Yeah, the price point matches this, but it's fair for the quality and flavor. Much better than store bought. Much better than competitors. Definitely recommended. Check them out for your sweet treat needs! Note: parking can be tricky for this location. I found parking up front, ran in, and ran out in a short period. Otherwise, there are parking garages nearby. read more

The service here was lovely and all the dessert options are so cute. Cupcakes are about $5, or $6 if you get the happy birthday one. This is a great spot if you have a strong sweet tooth. Personally, the frosting was way too sweet for me and I could only eat a small portion of it, which is unfortunate because otherwise the flavor was quite good. read more

Wow... just wow... first time having Susie Cakes! Upon walking in, the staff here were very friendly and so nice. We ordered a couple for a family visit, and man... they were really good! I think overall just flavor wise and the softness of the cake. Frosting is sweet but not tooth-ache sweet. Found out they have one closer to us in San Jose,CA. Give this place a try! Heads up. They have parking in the back of the store thats free for the first 90 mintues and a lot of good restaurants around the area! read more

Plenty of parking, tiffany blue colored walls, a looking glass-window, and lots of flavors! The employees were very friendly and explained what the popular and best flavors were and showed us how big the slice is. One slice is about $8 and the slice is huge! Enough for 2 people to share. We got the most popular Vanilla Celebration flavor and Red Velvet. Both were good but Vanilla Celebration was the winner with a stronger flavor :0) The butter cream is so yummy! The cashier also asked if I needed a bag and their paper bags are cute with the tiffany blue color and Susie Cakes logo on it.! read more

While waiting to be seated at Granville next door, we decided to pop into SusieCakes since my daughter loves cupcakes (her first word was cake, after all). We ordered a chocolate vanilla cupcake, they bagged it up, and we headed back to lunch, telling our daughter she could enjoy it afterward. After finishing our meal, we opened the bag only to find the wrong cupcake inside. A simple mistake, and we knew it was unintentional, but since a couple of hours had passed, my wife took it back to see if we could exchange it. The employee immediately apologized and, without hesitation, gave us not just the correct cupcake but an extra one on the house--plus, they let us keep the original one. Just outstanding customer service. We were only expecting a simple exchange, but they went out of their way to make it right, and we truly appreciated it. And to top it all off, the cupcake was absolutely delicious! We'll definitely be back. read more

SusieCakes is located on Lake, right next door to Granville, with (metered) street parking right out front. Because I had some what of a poor experience at the Susiecakes in Orange County, I had always avoided this location when it opened up a few years ago. But since my husband and I were already here for the Holidayfest event this past Saturday, we decided to come in here for something sweet. We came in a little before 2 pm. We only had one party ahead of us so the wait was short. When I was able to order, I ended up purchasing: Susie's Nutty (Peanut butter cookie), $7.95- This cookie is pretty big and it comes with 2 peanut butter cookies with a nice generous peanut butter frosting in the middle. The cookie sandwich was moist, even when consumed the next day. It was pretty filling and honestly probably a good size to share with another (but I didn't, lol). Coconut Cupcake, $4.99- My husband opted to have a cupcake and shared this with our little girl dog. I didn't have any but he enjoyed it (and so did our little girl). Gingerbread Man, $4.75- I wish the icing on the eye did not smear. But the cookie itself was just fine. It was thin but moist and had a nice chew to it. I thought the flavor of the ginger was also there but not too strong. Gingerbread Woman, $4.75- I wished the face was decorated a little bit neater but the cookie was also good. Had a nice chew and was soft. The ginger was also in each bite but not overpowered. ----------------------------------- (Total= $22.44) I paid via credit card and then waited for my purchase (as an employee came out and called out my order number while I waited). One thing I did not like when picking up my order was that the employee gave me 4 separate small white thin paper bags. Each item was placed in those bags. It would have been easier to place all my items in a box since I had to try to hold all four bags together as we left the store. It makes me wonder if I had ordered 10 different cookies, would I have been given 10 bags? Other than that, I had a better experience this time around and would consider coming back in the future. read more

Unfortunately, I was quite disappointed by Susiecakes. The cupcakes were dry and dense. There wasn't much distinction between the flavors (chocolate, vanilla, lemon, etc), they all kind of tasted the same. I am usually a buttercream lover but theirs was cloyingly sweet. I'm not sure if I got an old batch, but their cupcakes looked better than they tasted. I much prefer Sprinkles over SusieCakes. read more

I think because of the rain, there wasn't much people. [[HIGHLIGHT]]But the minute we walked in, it smelled of decadent chocolate cakes and long behold down the long hallway, there was a full glass window and you can see employees making chocolate cakes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] So naturally assume chocolate cake is the best seller. We got one huge slice of the chocolate cake, whoopie pie, and two mini cupcakes. Definitely didn't go wrong with any of our selections. Devoured everything before we could take a picture. read more

Initially came here to pick up a slice of cake for free since it was my birthday month. You only get a free slice for your birthday if you have purchased something within the previous year. Staff looked up my account and since I didn't make a purchase last year they offered me a 10% off which was nice. There are no seats inside, takeout only. Service was courteous and quick. All the cakes were packaged in separate boxes, labeled and taped securely. Luscious Lemon Cake: 7/10 Dense cake. The vanilla buttercream frosting was delightfully creamy and isn't too sweet. Sprinkles give it an added crunch. The lemon curd is tangy/doesn't taste artificial and a great contrast to the sweetness from the frosting. Vanilla Celebration Cake: 6/10 I'm generally a fan of birthday cake flavor anything and couldnt resist getting this one. Dense cake. I personally thought the vanilla frosting was too sweet. read more

If you look for a classic, fluffy and rich homemade cake with natural ingredients and great taste, SusieCakes is the right place to go to. I love the selection of sliced cakes, cupcakes, and cookies they have. The Tropical coconut, the marble cake, the red velvet, the carrot cake, the old fashioned are my favorite. I love also their seasonal cupcakes and cookies they have. The place is always spotless. The decor is very relaxing. The box color and their logo is unique and pretty. When it comes to their customer service, it is Top Notch. It is my go to cake shop when I am craving classic cake. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Upon walking in you are greeted by the decadent smells of baked goods, which you would think correlates to delicious baked goods.

Ordered two gorgeous cakes for my sister-in-law's baby shower -- one vintage style, one with daisies. Both pink, different flavors, and absolutely beautiful! Emily was amazing from start to finish -- helped me change my order with no hassle, gave great tips on when to serve and refrigerate, and even carried the cakes to my car with extra care. Thoughtful touches like adding an extra cake base really stood out. Delicious cakes, stunning designs, and excellent customer service. Highly recommend! read more

A coworker brought in SusieCakes cupcakes to celebrate a birthday, so it was the perfect chance to finally try one without making the trip myself. I went for the strawberry cupcake, which looked adorable and came with a generous swirl of frosting on top. The frosting was the highlight for me, creamy, flavorful, and tasted like something you'd get from a homemade cake rather than a mass-produced bakery item. Where it fell short was the cake itself. The texture was noticeably dry, which made it less enjoyable and not as satisfying as I hoped. A moist crumb is what makes a cupcake memorable, and this one just didn't have that balance. Overall, I appreciated the nostalgic, "real cupcake" vibe, but given the reputation SusieCakes has, I expected more consistency. Cute presentation, delicious frosting, but the cake itself was underwhelming. read more
