Cake World

Hi my name is John the Baker is very good my family be ordering cakes for long time this is is a good Service thank you

I have been coming to cake world for over 10 years. There cakes are better than most bakeries. There Tres Leche cake is still the best I’ve had in town. My complaint is that every time I come here the cakes cost more and more. I have no problem paying good money for a cake but the prices are getting outrageous especially since the decorating is sub par. This last time I ordered a Tres Leche cake with strawberry filling. Since there’s only about 7 of us I ordered a 10 inch round cake which isn’t that big. I also asked to have a picture put on it. The total price was $ 52.00. I’m sorry but that is just to much to pay for such a small cake. I think Freed’s charges less than that with much better decorations. Don’t know if I’ll return

My family and I have been ordering our cakes for every occasion from birthdays to baby showers from here since 2007. They always have the best customer service and make absolutely delicious and beautiful cakes! I have never been disappointed and will definitely continue to order my cakes from here for years to come!

Manuel Was so helpful and generous to donate Cupcakes for our school fundraiser. Very efficient and accomodating. His cakes are fabulous, and I am sure the cupcakes will be loved by all our families as well.

Place is nice w an assortment of pastries and cakes. Sorry forgot to take pics while in there. I got a donut (icky. Was dry) cheese danish (super yum & flakey) apple turnover thing (super yum n flakey) strawberry danish (tasted like a cinnamon roll w strawberry filling and was dry)
Not sure if Ill go back. Mainly wanted donuts but only had 3 kind and they looked old. Heads up you must spend $ 5 for debit card transaction and I believe she charged me an additional $.95 to use it.

I ordered a Tres Leches cake for a co-​worker for her birthday. The customer service was awesome.
Tres Leches — Excellent cake. Not soggy, perfect amount of everything and the icing was excellent!
Not much else to say. I just wanted to stop by and give them a nice rating!

I have purchased a sugar free cake 3x and each time it gets worse and worse. Nancy’s customer service and people skills are horrible. She always misspells something her writing is like a toddler and when you kindly ask her to fix it she won’t. WEIRD!?! Once you start losing pride in your craft your business suffers!

Items Selected:
Concha
Guava Turnover
Tres Leches
Carrot Cake
Cheese Danish
Vanilla Donut
Located on North Tenaya Way in a strip mall one would just as soon pass by without paying any attention lies a tiny space titled Cake World Bakery, and although neither the space nor selection is as voluminous as that of many other bakeries the quality of the goods is to-​date unsurpassed by that of other Mexican bakeries found in cities including San Francisco, Detroit, and Chicago.
Owned by a second generation baker and open at 7:00am seven days per week, Cake World occupies a small corner of the shopping plaza and with the ceiling decorated in piñata my 5pm arrival found shelves still stocked and baking ongoing, a small line forming more than once as others arrived to gather custom cakes in several styles and flavors, the tres leches undoubtedly a most popular order.
Greeted by the baker as his female counterpart was busy helping two young women design a Sweet 16 styled cake, it was with a big smile that he made suggestions when asked what he recommended, and adding on a few personal interests $ 13.34 was traded for six items, only the dry cinnamon Concha proving anything less than excellent.
Admittedly taking the non-​traditional path for a couple of items, it warrants mention that the donuts at Cake World are reportedly made from the store’s bolillo bread base, and with a soft crumb that picks up little-​to-​no grease the bite is a bit more dense than many, though the lard and leavening each work wonders beneath the light glaze to offer a sweet/​savory balance not unlike that of a traditional European Paczki, the filled versions sold out during this visit but perhaps worth a return for those seeking such a thing.
Impressed by a slice of carrot cake that saw plenty of raisins and nuts studding a spicy moist batter beneath tangy cream cheese it was onward to the items chosen by the baker that the tasting progressed and although the guava turnover was a little underfilled the golden pocket was crisp and well suited to stand up to the substantial sweetness while the cheese danish was still warm from the oven, a bit of caramelization adding a crackling top-​note to the savory filling while puff pastry shattered and flaked to the table, a very worthy contender for best of its kind and certainly the best I’ve had for a mere $ 1.25.
Tempted by flan, cheesecake, fruit turnovers, and no less than a half-​dozen other items, it was in being mindful of dinner plans to come that the sampling wrapped up with Cake World’s signature Tres Leches Cake, and although flavored and fruited options were offered a single slice of the traditional version was selected with results exceeding admittedly high expectations, each bite well balanced given the high quality of house whipped cream juxtaposing layers of yellow custard, the base not nearly as ‘wet’ as some with sweetness equally scaled back.
Purporting no expertise as relates to Mexican pastries, and actually quite disappointed with several iterations of such in the past, Cake World is turning out some truly delicious goods in a place that many would never think to look, the friendly service an added bonus and the sort of thing that leaves little doubt that an early morning visit when everything is fresh will soon see me back.

My family has been going to this bakery for over 7 YEARS! They have the best cakes! They even make a llama cake for my surprise birthday party along with a marble cake with fresh strawberry filling!
Reasonably priced for everything, my favorite is the slices of flan! I can’t help myself every time I go!
They will continue being my favorite bakery.
Muchas gracias por todo!

We were hesitant to spend $ 42 on a birthday cake for a chef friend of ours, but my wife and I figured the flavor and quality of ingredients would be worth it. WE WERE SO WRONG! The Black Forest cake we paid so much money for was just some cheap cherry flavored goo with a bitter aftertaste (not the REQUIRED black cherries) spread in between some dry chocolate-​ish cake and covered with overly sweet whipped cream. Absolutely awful! We were so embarrassed and disgusted by the cake we threw most of it in the garbage. Never again.

Run-​down hole-​in-​the-​wall bakery, you wouldn’t know it’s here if you don’t stop in the plaza for one of the other businesses. They have a surprisingly large selection of pastries and desserts, but cakes seem to be their specialty– hence the name. Several whole cakes on display for purchase, and they have several delivery trucks so I suspect they mostly deal with special orders.
Noteworthy items they have here are Mexican wedding cookies, Napoleon cakes, and various guava pastries. I found their lemon and pineapple turnovers to be overly bready with minimal filling, unfortunately. Their tres leches cakes get a lot of love, but I have yet to try them as they don’t seem to be available in individual portions.

This is my 2^nd year purchasing birthday cake from this location and I am just as impressed as I was last year. This year I turned 60 and was a little apprehensive because of the milestone being celebrated but I’m so happy I chose them again after shopping around. The tres leches cake is divine, literally melts in your mouth and not too sweet! They did a beautiful job decorating and the filling is so yummy and fresh. This is my place every year from now on! I also love the Wedding cookies, they too melt in your mouth. I’ve gotta stop myself from buying every bag!

The most memorable item I’ve had from Cake World is their Tres Leches cake. Oh my goodness, it’s super good and this is coming from somebody who shouldn’t be having dairy — the pain is worth it! I’ve also tried their Chocolate Mousse cake which was pretty and yummy. But the Tres Leches is where it’s at.
They have Danishes, doughnuts, Conchas, turnovers and other baked goods. Guava turnovers and pineapple turnovers are good here too.
I normally get a half-​sheet of Tres Leches cake and have it decorated. Depending on the complexity of the design, they need at least 5-​hr notice for custom cakes.

I used this bakery for my son’s first birthday cake. At that time, I was not thrilled about the decorating skills on the cake, but it tasted great. So this year, I decided to give them a second chance. I spoke with Manuel about our last experience and he reassured me that he would make it right this time. I provided several photos of ideas of acceptable cake designs and even provided figurines of the characters to incorporate on top.
When I picked up the cake, I was disappointed again. The decorating was not the worst, but he added an edible printout of the character that was too small scale for the cake size. It was also smooshed a bit and not evenly placed on top which sucked since it was the center of the design. The rest of the piped-​on décor was decent. To his credit, the cake was delicious. The chocolate cake was so moist and the fresh strawberries were awesome. I love their whipped cream frosting which is not too sweet and very light.
I know I will return to this bakery again in the future, but only if I do not have a complicated cake design request.

Manuel is the owner for Cake World. I’ve been going to him for years. We order all birthday cakes for the whole family from this bakery since 2004. Even cookies we donate for my boys’ charity drive, always a HIT with the teachers, parents and kids. I’m probably biased though cause he is close to our home.
I just hired him to make my parents’ 50^th anniversary cake, a 2 tier fondant with gold rhinestones which I’ll be providing. I will post pictures after the party.
I love doing business with him, he and his wife are easy to talk to, as far as ordering what I need for whatever occasion and the sweet treats are never too sweet. I don’t like sweets too much but i order them to satisfy my husband and boys’ cravings.

Best cake ever. Deserts are tasty. Always clean. You won’t find a better cake or desert place.

I have custom ordered a couple of cakes here before and the experience has been great. The cakes are delicious.
