Adorable little home bakery with pickups in HaHa Ramen & Sushi restaurant located in downtown Hayward. My cousin ordered this amazingly cute birthday cake for our grandma and asked me to pick it up. She had contacted the baker via WeChat and was able to request a customized design on their taro flavor cake. My cousin used a popular design style from China for their reference and they were able to replicate it pretty accurately! The cake came ribbon wrapped in a clear cake box - presentation was through the roof great!For the cake itself, it was 3 stars for flavor and texture and +1 for design. It wasn't too sweet (which is the Asian standard) and the cake part itself was fragrant and fluffy. The taro cream was light and subtle. Would have liked to tasted more taro-ness but that might be because the baker uses fresh, natural ingredients instead of artificial flavors - which is appreciated.They also offer creme puffs and drinks as well but hours may vary from what's posted because when I went for pickup (2:30pm on a Sunday) the baker themselves weren't there and only the sushi restaurant staff were present. Double check you have the right order before you leave in these scenarios because I was given the wrong order by the restaurant staff. I just said I was picking up a cake and was handed another person's order - I had mistakenly assumed there was only 1 cake order that's why they didn't ask me for the name or what was ordered. Only when I took a picture for my cousin to let her know I picked up the cake did I find out I got the wrong order. Good thing I lived close enough to quickly swing back. Street parking in front of the restaurant is sparse but I didn't have trouble finding a spot on the block.Overall, a great home bakery that offers cute cake designs on this side of the East Bay!
