Ordered a dozen red velvet cupcakes for my son's birthday. They were decorated quite festively and delicious. They don't have a store front but drop off at Octavia's Bookstore. Not a problem on my book. read more

I ordered a strawberry shortcake style of cake and it was AMAZING! The cake was sooo light and moist combined with the frosting, whipped cream and strawberries inside...it all pulled together deliciously! This was my first time using this bakery but definitely won't be my last. read more

Wooooowwww. This was maybe the best cake I've ever had. Devonna absolutely exceeded my expectations with this. I requested a custom Pumpkin Praline cake with cream cheese frosting with only 5 days notice, and she came through big time. The cake was ready for pickup on time and was beautifully done. And I can't explain how moist and delicious it was. It was a huge hit at our party. Butter Bakery is officially my local go to for any baked goods. read more

Devonna was extremely professional and easy to work with. We needed strawberry cupcakes (not that easy to find) for my daughter's third birthday party with just a few days' notice. She delivered with some of the most delicious cupcakes I've ever had, complete with fresh strawberries, icing from scratch and beautiful sparkles adorning everything. True works of art. My daughter and her friends were so excited. Can't wait to order for our next event! read more

This review took me a few weeks to write because I am so sad I have to share my experience. Butter (Devonna) has been my go-to cake gal for the last couple of years. She has made birthday cakes, cupcakes, and a graduation cake for my fiancée. My fiancée wanted to order me my own graduation cake as I graduated with my masters a couple weeks ago. She contacted Devonna and they were set on the design and pick-up time. Devonna sent over the invoice and it showed $140 for a cake for 15 people. Usually we pay around $100-$120 so I checked in with her, because I wanted to make sure we were paying the right price. I tried to communicate clearly that I wanted to pay her but just wanted to double check the price was correct. This was on the Monday before my graduation. I had not heard from her so I reached out a couple more times in hopes to get her paid before pick-up. I got no response but I went to go pick up the cake anyway and figured I would hear from her soon so we could pay her. I show up to the location for pickup and the woman I spoke with brought out a cake, except it wasn't my cake, it was a birthday cake. I saw her texting Devonna and she replied back immediately, telling her to take out the "happy birthday sign" -- at this point the woman in front of me told me it was my cake just wrong signage. I told her it looked nothing like what we talked about (it was blue and white) and so she called Devonna. She said I was right, it was the wrong cake and said that Devonna would call me shortly for me to pick the cake up at her house nearby. I waited in my car for 30 mins in hopes devonna would call. She never did. We texted and called her repeatedly with no answer. I really enjoyed working with Devonna but it was the day before my graduation and now I had no cake. The morning of my graduation, my fiancée had to rush to a local bakery (shout out Delight) and pick up 2 already made cakes to replace the one we were going to get from Devonna. I've reached out since then and have had no response from her. I still have no idea why we were ghosted but are very sad we had to end this relationship and write this review. read more

Got really excited about a birthday cake. However we never got it. When I went to pick it up, it was not there. They informed me that was because I had not paid in advance. Seems ok but they should have sent me a payment request and informed me of that in advance. Maybe even followed up the day before delivery as to if I would want the cake I'd agreed to. Cake was really pricey and I'll bet it would have been worth it. But I'll never know now. I'd been chatting via text with them for almost 2 weeks planning what I wanted. read more

I selfishly don't want to write this amazing review because I don't want to let the cat out the bag, but this baker is the truth! I ordered a two tier cake for my 40th and provided inspo pics as well as some toppers I specifically wanted on my cake ( I added the 40 later) when I tell you not only was the cake pretty, but it was super tasty!!! Unfortunately, often times when you buy these pretty cakes they are pretty only and lack in flavor, but this is not the case with butter bakery! I love the fact that she used actual icing and not fondant (Im sure some people request or prefer fondant) but I do not and the cake held together perfectly with the frosting! My top layer was cookie butter yummmmm and the bottom layer red velvet yummmm! Both layers were moist and delicious! I'm so very satisfied with my order and will be ordering again in the future! The reviews do not lie lol and literally everyone at my party wanted to know where I ordered the cake. So thank you for the beautiful flavorful cake! read more

Edit: Now the owner is a liar as well, because I have the emails they never responded too. Check the one star reviews as I'm not the only one. Not sure what a pandemic has to do with responding to emails, all that was needed on their part was a professional apology and a doesn't excuse like a family emergency, which with a small business would have been completely understandable. But instead rude lies and unprofessionalism... Original post: Terrible at responding to emails, no phone number given, ghosted me and left me having to run to Marie calendars at the last minute when they left me hanging for an event... What a disgraceful way to run a business. read more

Devonna is a kind, sincere baker who has made all of our kids' birthdays magical. Her cakes taste so authentic and homemade. Her butter cream is so delicious, never too sweet or heavy. She will deliver any design based on Pinterest or a photo, but add her own flare. She doesn't compromise on any of her ingredients and puts so much effort. Easy to talk to, personable, and has never failed to deliver at any of our events. Highly recommend, along with any of her savory cookies. read more

Had a party that I needed a large order of cookies for, so I searched on Yelp for a local bakery I could support. Based on the reviews, I chose this bakery hoping Yelp wouldn't steer me wrong this time. I'm so glad I ended up ordering from here! Devonna was very kind and prompt in her communication, and she even delivered them for me a couple hours before my party (the two guys who delivered were really nice and professional too). The cookies were still nicely warm upon arrival, and everyone absolutely LOVED them! Got so many compliments from those asking where I bought these cookies. Ordered the brown butter toffee, chocolate chip, and crownies, and they were all delicious. Highly recommend this place! read more

I was looking to bring my coworkers some spooky treats on Halloween so a couple of weeks ago I made some calls to bakeries around Pasadena. DeVonna emailed me a few days later to let me know she could make the type of cookies I was looking for, we discussed designs and prices through email, then we agreed on 35 custom Halloween cookies, including pumpkins, candy corn, black cats, fall leaves, bats, and ghosts for $105, to be ready on October 30. She seemed friendly and was flexible on shapes and designs, telling me that she'd let me know if she couldn't find the cutters for any of them. I was charged through QuickBooks on October 19, which did make me a bit nervous considering I hadn't even met anyone from the bakery in person, or have any sort of contact info apart from an email address. DeVonna emailed me on Oct 30 to let me know there was an emergency that happened that day, causing her to be short staffed and wondering if she could deliver them later. Since I needed to bring them to work early the next morning, I told her I would prefer if she delivered them later that night instead of the next morning. Despite the obstacles, she was still able to have them made and delivered to me on October 30. In the rush to get my cookies to me on time, someone accidentally dropped a box of the cookies and DeVonna texted me to ask if I wanted replacement cookies or a partial refund. Since it was 8:30pm, I told her I'd rather have the partial refund. About an hour later, a delivery person was at the front with the cookies. I noticed a card was included, but I figured it was just a thank you note. The cookies looked adorable! I couldn't wait to share them with my coworkers and I texted DeVonna to let her know as much, and she responded warmly. The card was very sweet, too. She apologized for the inconveniences and had included the partial refund in cash. My coworkers absolutely loved the cookies, as they were as tasty as they were cute. My coworkers know I write reviews and multiple people told me to "write a good review!" If I need baked goods for another special occasion, I'm coming to Butter Bakery first. read more

TLDR: A delicious wonderful cake made with love and wonderful customer service! So I'm the one who received the cake rather than went through the process of ordering it but I will tell you what my friends told me. So my friend Anna emailed the bakery to ask for a cake for my birthday. Long story short, the cake was in the works but when it came to a theme they said they wouldn't be able to make it in time for what Anna asked, so my friends picked out a different theme instead. Anna was a little bummed about it but glad at least to still get a cake. Devonna was able to deliver the cake all the way to me in North Hollywood. Turns out, she was able to do the theme that Anna asked for and I was in for quite the surprise! Check the photo below to see what it was. The cake was delicious and beautifully decorated. Although I don't know all of the processes that went through, Anna told me that there was great communication throughout and Devonna was very sweet and kind and tried her best to work with my friends. Thank you so much for making it work out for me. It truly made my covid birthday quite special and memorable. I did not think I'd get this kind of cake in my 20's haha. I look forward to personally ordering treats from you soon! read more

Very happy with the cake I got! I'm glad I saw this on yelp and called to place my order. I was sold when I saw matcha as one of the flavors that they make! Reponses were pretty fast and you do have to pay the full invoice to place the order, as a heads up. The cake tasted soooo good, pretty moist and the amount of icing and its sweetness was just right to compliment the matcha cake, 10/10! For the cake I got, it was $85 for 5 people and it includes the customized Happy Birthday sign. read more

WOW! Amazing! I have ordered 2 banana cream pies from butter bakery and I am blown away! The banana flavor is fresh and light, it doesn't taste artificial at all. I love the banana pieces in the pie. I am not obsessed with the crust, but it's just a vehicle for amazing banana cream and cream topping! The price is SUPER REASONABLE for the amazing quality pie. I am also impressed with the turn around time, both times I have ordered a pie on Tuesday/Wednesday for a Saturday pick up and it wasn't a problem! Do yourself a favor and order a pie for the occasion and a pie just for you. You will regret not ordering more. THANK YOU BUTTER BAKERY! read more

I'm glad I found out about this business. German chocolate cake is hard to find, and unfortunately it's my husband's favorite. The cake we got form Butter Bakery was decadent, moist, and impressive-looking. It was supposed to be for four, but we will definitely get many servings out of it! Ordering was easy -- mostly through text and invoiced via email. Pickup was at Perry's Joint and the COVID protocols were followed. read more

My brother and SIL have ordered cupcakes twice from Butter Bakery for bday parties and they are hands down the best cupcakes I've had the pleasure of devouring. Good ratio of cake to buttercream. Moist. Delicious flavor. Well worth every calorie. I crave these cupcakes every time we head down to LA. I wish there was a brick and mortar store as I would be a frequent flier, but I'll take what I can get. Can't comment on ordering process. The cost seems equivalent to other places, but the flavor is above and beyond others. Highly recommend! read more

The best customer service!! I emailed her on 3/28 the same day I needed a birthday cake for my nephews birthday and she delivered to La Canada. We had to cancel his birthday party because of the Coronavirus pandemic. I decided he still needs to have a cake of course! I didn't plan ahead though because of all the chaos going in. I ordered his gifts on Amazon and they did not arrive in time for his birthday. I wanted to make sure he had somewhat of a celebration for his 6th birthday. Butter bakery delivered !! Contactless delivery as well. She left it on the porch as requested by my sister. Delicious fresh cake! My 6 year nephew loved the cake. My 4 year old niece was so excited to sing happy birthday. We sang happy birthday to him via FaceTime. Sad day because he was expecting visitors and no one could come by. Butter bakery definitely improves his day!! read more
