We couldn't be happier with the beautiful cake from Takes the Cake Pasadena for Naomi's 80th…read morebirthday! After contacting several bakeries, they were the only one confident enough to recreate our cake design--with incredible attention to detail and without relying on stencils for the bottom tier. They truly brought our vision to life. The cake was absolutely gorgeous and became one of the highlights of the celebration. It wasn't just beautiful--it tasted amazing too! The White Cake with Strawberry Mousse and Lemon Cake with Raspberry Mousse were both huge hits with our guests. The cake was incredibly moist, soft, and perfectly fluffy without being overly airy. Best of all, it was not overly sweet, allowing the delicious flavors to really shine. They also delivered the cake on time, making the entire experience stress-free. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how beautiful and delicious the cake was. Thank you, Takes the Cake Pasadena, for helping make Naomi's 80th birthday so special. We will definitely be ordering from you again! Thank you MS Lynn!

That can't be wise, especially considering how much heat enters via those windows during the summer. That aside, I was able to try their Nutella Croissant. The croissant was rich and generous without being overwhelming. You could almost say it hits a SWEET balance between rich and modest (pun totally intended). They also have fruit-shaped pastries that are going viral online, but I decided to skip on those for now. Everything looked fresh and the croissant was absolutely fresh, delicious and totally worth the price of admission.
