Custom Cakes near El Monte, CA

“This weekend, at my niece’s Sweet 16 celebration, I tasted a cake that completely changed my mind about dessert. I usually hate cake—but this one? Hands down the most delicious, unforgettable slice I’ve ever had. I was so blown away, I had to ask my sister-in-law where she got it and the exact location. It was that good.“

“Been going to this place for years and their cakes are delicious everytime. They try their best to be accommodating and they will do practically any design if you bring them materials to do so. All I did was ask them to place the flowers and decor I bought on the cake and they went above and beyond. My mom's birthday cake was absolutely stunning and everyone complimented it!“

“This place was cleaner than expected, my friend got a cone yummy and i got a rainbow sherbet the sherbet was more on the sour side but rlly good. We will come back again. My friend thought the cone was exquisite and should be in a museum. Noooooo“

“Can't go wrong with the big yellow bags. Perfect for ANY gathering of family or guests. 😉😁 Really does a great job of bringing people together. And the system they have at every location is bar none the best 👌🏽. Highly recommend if you've never been.“

“Want to acknowledge Vanessa your supervisor for such exceptional customer service really appreciate her food delicious“

“I’ve been coming here for a little while now and it is absolutely delicious, I discovered this place by accident on my way to work one day and I was hooked on the first bite of that matcha croissant, oh my goodness let me tell you I thought how could something that looks simple and beautiful be this delicious from then on every time I get a chance I come by for some pastries for myself or for my coworkers and they all agree that these pastries are a delicious delight , just tried there turkey sandwich as well the flavor of that sandwich was absolutely amazing, definitely have found a new little place to go by myself or with friends“

“Paul is very nice and made me feel so welcomed! He remembered me even though I've only been there once. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and offered great recommendations. If I recall correctly, he said that the strawberry cake ball, coffee cake, and a few others were popular picks.

There is only outdoor sidewalk seating (a total of 3 small tables with 2 seats each). The interior is tiny, and it carries the feel of a quick in-and-out pickup store. It's also right across the street from Pasadena's Central Park if you're looking for a stroll while you eat.

It's very transit-accessible. It's a 5 minute walk from the A line Del Mar station.

death by chocolate cookie ($3.85) - It's just a typical double chocolate cookie! It's a little gritty and dry (maybe it's gluten free?) but still delicious nonetheless.

coffee cake ($5.88) - sweet, with a flavor of cinnamon (not in an overpowering way). If you enjoy coffee cake, definitely get this, as vegan coffee cake is a rarity in Pasadena and LA.

ice cream sandwich ($9.25) - honestly, i think this was a little too sweet for me. The ice cream itself was plain vanilla soft serve, but when sandwiched by two entire chocolate chip cookies, I think the sweetness can be overpowering. Keep in mind that it also melts very fast (since it has the consistency of soft serve) and this makes it hard to keep the whole sandwich in shape. If you do not plan to eat it right away, I would not recommend getting this as it'll melt in a mere minute.“

“es el mejor lugar los mejores cafes y postres ynoseles olvide llevar su rikisimo pastel selos recomiendo. está rikisimo todo“

“I would like to recommend this bakery, they baked every day, so the bread always is fresh. highly recommend. tasty!!! A+.“

“My wife ordered a custom cake for my son's bday and it was perfect! This was a 4th custom cake with them and they always do an amazing job. Annie is a very talented baker and communicates well. Excellent value, service and quality. Highly recommended!“

“Definitely a pastry lovers’ indulging dream! Line was around the building on a Saturday afternoon, but moved pretty quickly. We were inside eyeing the pastries through the display in about 20 minutes. My favorite was the blueberry cheesecake crumble danish! The cream cheese was not overpowering and all the flavors were well balanced! The earl grey morning bun also a top contender with a strong enough earl grey flavor that was delectably enveloped in the flaky pastry. Cinnamon roll croissant was not too sweet and the center was the best bite! The french onion soup danish was good and tasted even better when warmed up at home. They should offer that option in store because it makes all the difference! Personally, as an almond croissant lover, I found the filling to be a little too sweet and leaned heavily on an almond extract flavor/aroma. All in all, pastries are of quality and I would return for more!“

“Best egg tarts in town. It’s carb worthy. Love the mini fruit tarts, pineapple buns, scallion buns, thick toast as well.“

“I had a problem with a product and call them up and they took care of it right away . They customer service.is great.“

“Great small cake shop that has unique flavors!“

“My little kid love this....😋“

“It was exactly 2 weeks before my daughter’s quinceanera. I had been considering making her cake but after a lot of stress and agonizing over what to do, I decided to stop into Sugar Mama’s just to see what they had to offer. Within about 10 minutes I was placing an order. The shop is very cute and the staff makes you feel instantly at ease. The order process was fairly straightforward. If anything there are almost too many options for flavors and additional toppings but that’s not a complaint. The day of our event came and the cake was beautiful. They took my inspiration photos and made her a gorgeous cake. It was delicious and reasonably priced too. Overall, we had a great experience with this business and will be back.“

“👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍“

“delicious choices of yogurt and very friendly. & very clean. will definitely be back“

“i called in and was able to order a
cake for same day pickup. the worker was extremely nice on the phone and when we arrived at the bakery. we ordered a black sesame cake for the new year and it was so delicious and came with a cake topper! not too sweet and the sesame taste was nutty and fragrant! would definitely order again! my family really enjoyed it :)“

“I love supporting small businesses. It is the spot when I crave for cheese cake or need pick it up for potlucks and parties. I love the Japanese Iced cheesecake . It's light, not too sweet Percy texture and so delicious. They have the original , matcha , strawberry and Oreo flavors. You can either one flavor or a set of all 4.

The taro snowflakes is a must try, creamy taro sponge cake made with real taro.

This shop is clean, cutesy and is family owned and I was helped by the owner's mom, she's super nice lady, the owner makes all the cakes.

They take cash, Venmo and Zelle as payment options.“

“Special Thanks to La Poblana Bakery!! We contacted Kelly last minute for pan dulce & coffee they responded really quick and they were also able to help us on Delivery it to us.
Pan dulce was delicious, we when back to thank them for what they did and also purchased more pan dulce to bring back home to Utah.
Thank you,
Rene C.“

“Highly recommend Baskin Robbins for your next cake order. Cakes taste amazing! Spoke to Brian, goes above and beyond to make your experience the best
Everyone at my baby shower loved the cake, were looking for seconds. My daughters bday was also another hit with their cakes yum! All the kids loved the jack skellington design ??
I will definitely continue ordering cakes here in the future“

“Just like I remembered from childhood. Fresh Strawberry cream cake with almonds. We use to go to this bakery all the time as kids and didn't know it was still around. The cake was not very sweet and just perfect. Really wanted butterfly cookies but were sold out. Only thing I didn't like was they don't answer their phones. Wasn't sure if they were open and was calling to check. No answer.“

“Store is great clean and employees are very helpful and courteous..small location but vary quaint“

“I absolutely LOVED (!!!!!!!!) my keto and sugar-free cake from Valentine Sweets.

First, the cake was absolutely PERFECT when my friend picked it up. Any minor frosting imperfections in these photos happened a few days later after pickup when it was not eaten right away and are completely my fault.

The cake is sweetened with monk fruit and has no grains. It tasted genuinely delicious, like classic birthday cake from my childhood. As someone on a long gut-healing journey with a lot of dietary restrictions, this felt like a dream come true. Also, no artificial food dye! Swoon!!!!

My friends without dietary restrictions loved it too, so it is not just me saying this. Also truly the prettiest birthday cake I have ever had.

I highly recommend Valentine Sweets. Great customer service, amazing ingredients, and the aesthetic is the best I have seen. My friends couldn't get over the cute little frosting bows. So delicate and sweet. I will definitely be ordering again the next time I am in LA.“

“5 stars for the service but omg we just came to try the Tiger Milk Tea with boba and oh boy avoid at all costs. Whoever thought of it had a great idea and presentation(minus the vanilla scoop making it look like chunks of cheese floating around your tea) but awful awful execution. Also did not know the brown sugar boba was popping boba and it just felt like exploding gobs of caramel with each boba, very unpleasant. Get something else!!Also big sad there's no bubblegum flavor ice cream. :(“

“The girls here are always so nice and helpful. Very fast professional service always! Last night one of the girls showed my daughters and I how they hand make the waffle cones😃 I love this 31 Flavs in particular!“

“Every holiday I venture in BR for a customized holiday ice cream cake and, each year, they are interesting and delicious. It's now a holiday tradition. The owner of this BR is cheerful and accommodating. And of course the ice cream is amazing. Thank you!“

“When the scoop’s too cold,
Lick it like it’s hot.
When the cone starts to fold,
Flip it like it’s not.
If your sprinkles hit the floor,
Scoop ‘em off the spot,
I got thirty-one flavors,
And they all taste hot!“

“冰淇淋的份量很大，CP值高！“

“Girl those creme cheese muffins with bacon are to die for! We are very pleased with our cakes too. You are a true artist.“

“Honestly, I’ve driven past this place so many times and never noticed it until we stopped to shop at Super A next door. It’s a super unassuming, small bakery, but it’s clearly a local favorite because it was pretty busy when we walked in!

They specialize in sponge cakes, and the shelves are fully stocked with all different kinds. We tried a few things, but the standout was definitely the Grenade Cake. It’s got this great crispy top that gives it a nice texture which is definitely unique.

We also picked up an ube sponge cake. It was incredibly fluffy and light, and the flavor was spot on. They have a bunch of different flavors to choose from if ube isn't your thing.

The service was friendly and efficient, too. Definitely a solid little hidden gem in Temple City if you're looking for fresh, airy cakes that aren't overly sweet!“

“Delicious and excellent price compare other bakey in the area.“

“We got the ice cream cake with chocolate cake and chocolate chip and mint chip ice cream. The ice cream cake was good and fresh. The whip cream wasn’t that good but every else was good. We got great service. Everyone enjoyed the birthday cake. Ten out of ten recommend. They have plenty of parking and no public restroom.“

“I ordered a custom cake from here, and it came out so beautiful and delicious! Such a good cake. Thank you to whoever made it. Honestly, they went above and beyond. It was definitely the star of the night. My sister loved it, and everyone was fighting for extra servings. Thank you!!“

“Baskin Robbins is too overpriced. They didn't even have my flavor.“

“These are amazing! Never had filled churros like these, they are sooo good. Highly recommend!“

“Always great!! A bit expensive though 😊😊😊“

“I’ve never had any rude interactions with these employees but you also have to understand that they also have a life so coming in with 5 minutes till closing with all your family members trying to figure out what they want puts them in overtime and me as a business man can’t afford to pay out that much O/T because you decided to wait to the very last moment . So get use to it it’s happening all around in a lot of businesses .“

“love Fabulous Cakes and frosting Supply!! This is the only store I frequent, so close to home. Virginia is slways so helpful and very knowledgeable.“

“Just tried this bakery Omg absolutely delicious“

“Baskin-Robbins is premium ice cream and is more expensive, but it worth it. The serving size is a generous scoop every time. The service is very friendly and helpful. They even offered water to a customer that was coughing and we were impressed with the concern the server had. Our granddaughter enjoyed her two scoops of ice cream so much that she wouldn't even share a little with us.“

“Friendly staff Love ice creams“

“Super friendly server with a friendly smile , top quality ingredients that you can taste“

“Ordered a cake from here because wanted a custom cake. Anyone can foot bask in robins and get a more generic if they wanted. But I wanted superb custom cake and cold stones did not disappoint us. I ordered a 6 inch with devil cake, sweat cream icecream with pecans, fudge and chocolate truffles. The frosting was fluffy pink with chocolate truffles. Absolutely one of the best cakes ever had. My sister and friends for her birthday all said it was such an awesome cake. Thank you Cold Stines for the cake and the memories“
