The best cake I’ve ever had! Absolutely delicious, and exactly what I wanted! Service was fantastic! Helen is so lovely and accommodating, she is such a great person to chat to as well. Thank you so much! I’ll be back every time I need a cake!

Delicious affordable cakes AND great customer service! I highly recommend the mango durian cake.

I forgot to call ahead to place an order so I thought I’d walk in and see if they have any cakes readily available. They didn’t have any readily available and said it will take about 15 minutes - I was in a rush for my appointment so I couldn’t wait…. The owner offered to deliver my cake later in the day at NO COST/FREE.

Please support small local businesses like these!

I love Yan's cake. I get it for every occasion. Birthdays, just because we love cake and a mahjong theme cake.

It's fresh and not that sweet!

I have been getting my cakes here for a majority of my life. If I can’t get my cake from here, I will NOT get any cake at all. My late grandmother Norah introduced me to this place in the late 2000’s. I’ve been hooked ever since. My favourite thing to ask for is chocolate butterflies because butterflies remind me of my late grandmother. I cannot recommend Yan Bakery enough, they are the best!

Thanks Helen for the durian mango cake. Best Durian cake in Vancouver. Fruit is so fresh.
Very friendly and quick service

11/10 experience with Helen!! From the start, Helen was super helpful and quick to respond. I got a custom cake done for Mother’s Day and she was very happy to help create a perfect design and flavor. The cake was beautiful and also delicious. It wasn’t too sweet and my entire family loved it! You should definitely order from Helen if you ever need a cake!

Sweet owner! The fresh mango cake was amazing! The cake itself was so soft and fluffy and the cream was not too sweet. Price is very reasonable considering the amount of mango you get!

Made a last minute order and Helen made it happen. I got the mango cake and it exceeded my expectations. Definitely going back for more.

Yan's bakery is the best! We always get cakes for birthdays and they're so delicious. Especially her fruit cream and mango cakes. She is so friendly and thoughtful. We've sent all our friends to get cakes as well - would highly recommend!

Thank you Helen and Jason for the beautiful cake. The cake was the perfect sweetness, beautifully decorated, and the handwritten words were done so nicely! Helen made sure to listen to my needs and provide us with a very delicious cake. Everyone at the gathering enjoyed it! I have personally ordered more than once from Helen for large gatherings and each time, we have been very satisfied with the cake. Looking forward to ordering more cakes from Helen! Thank you!!

I regret going with Yan bakery for my wedding. The day I went to just inquire about pricing and cake designs the owner was very pushy. She was friendly and nice to us but she was very pushy with selling her cakes, I had asked for a coffee cream cake but she kept saying it’s better to get the fruit cake ( now I think it’s because it costs more than just making a coffee cream filling). She made me feel embarrassed for even wanting a coffee flavored cake for my wedding because she said not everyone likes coffee. So suggested to go with strawberry and mango, I felt obligated to listen to her because she was very pushy and even brought out some samples for us to try so I felt bad. The cake was good but it wasn’t what I wanted, but again I felt pressured by her. I wanted to go home and discuss with my fiancé first before committing but she kept saying I need to pay the deposit right now or else she can’t provide an invoice. I said a few times that I want to think about it first but she kept pressuring me, so already being stressed with wedding planning and needing to get a cake sorted out I did end up paying that same day. She did work with me on my budget so I did appreciated that. The cost included delivery and decorating the day of. She ensured me that I just need to provide flowers the day of and she would handle everything else. We provided flowers on our wedding day for the cake but my sister said when Helen came to drop off the cake she was in a rush and said because there wasn’t a designated cake table at that time (there was a small table available that day provided by the restaurant, so I’m not sure why she had said that) that she’s not going to decorate the cake. She almost left but my sister stopped her and asked her to decorate the cake like she had promised as part of the transaction. When we cut the cake during our reception the fruit was still frozen, a few people had mentioned to us that the fruit in their cake was frozen and we had already left it out for at least 3 hours. Helen knew what time we were going to cut the cake so that should have been accounted for when she was making it. I will never go back to this bakery, I felt she talked a lot about how great her bakery is and that’s why so many people keep going back but honestly my experience was not great. I could look past her being pushy but when my sister said she almost left without decorating the cake an hour before my reception started it ruined any respect I have for her and her business. This is not to talk negatively about her cake, the sample I had was good. But my overall experience during the ordering and actual day of my wedding was not pleasant and no bride should have to experience that on their wedding day.

Helen is amazing she is absolutely the best cake bakery in Vancouver BC she needs an award for her fluffy soft cakes and soft creamy not too sweet butter cream. We have been using Yan's bakery since 2015 by accident and so happy I did.
