Pumpkin praline cake with cream cheese frosting

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.

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.

I ordered 2 very last minute cakes and they came Out amazing. One for my son's first bday and the other for a baby shower the next day. Everyone raved about how good they were and the decoration was perfect for each event. I can't thank Devonna enough for her great work.

Cookie butter cake top later and bottom layer red velvet

Marilyn G.

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!

Last email with my disappointment they never apologized about.

Christine C.

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.

Awesome all around ! The cookies are insanely good(Crownies and lemon Blueberry are my favorite) The bars are great and ooooh the cakes!! My Birthday is coming and I can't wait to order my cake!! She made My 76 year old mom's cake!

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.

I ordered some brown butter toffee cookies for a work event, and everyone loved them!! They were the clear favorite out of all the desserts. The cookies were the perfect balance of crispy and chewy. I made sure to give Butter Bakery a shoutout, so I can't wait for this bakery to get more customers!

Farrah V.

Butter bakery is top notch! The cookies were moist and delicious! The cake was beautifully made and so delicious and the cupcakes were beautifully done! Devonna has a good thing going! Support her!

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.

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!

Devonna did an amazing job for my baby shower. The cake matched perfectly to the little pumpkin theme we described. She also did a wonderful job making us baby shaped sugar cookies. We got the strawberry flavor and it was fresh, moist and absolutely delicious. She personally delivered the cake to us the morning of which was incredibly convenient and threw in a white pumpkin which was the theme. Will be ordering from her for future events.

I ordered a dozen cupcakes from Butter Bakery to contribute to a bake sale for my kids' school. Ordering, pick-up, payment -- Devonna made everything smooth and easy! Devonna made beautiful vanilla, chocolate and confetti cupcakes for me, all presented in a pretty box. Although I couldn't eat any, I accidentally tipped one of the confetti cupcakes over when I was getting it out of the box, so I had a taste some of the vanilla buttercream frosting. It was out-of-this-world good!! I thought I didn't like buttercream frosting, but I just hadn't had *Butter Bakery's* buttercream frosting. I cannot wait for an excuse to get more! read more

I recently moved away from my go-to bakery and am happy to say I have found my replacement with Butter Bakery! Devonna made a Black Forest cake for my dad's birthday and it was a hit! The chocolate cake was incredibly moist with a rich dark chocolate flavor and was well balanced by the frosting and filling without being overly sweet. Plus, it was gorgeous! I wasn't sure how her classic cake flavors would be decorated and it was gorgeous! We are all impressed by the height and how she went the extra mile with the design. Easy to order and pick up, with excellent service. I will be back! read more

Couldn't tell you how their cakes are because we never got to that point. Initiated contact with plenty of time before event day which was mid week. I didn't find out all the pertinent information until after the weekend prior. This pretty much made what I wanted to do impossible. FYI if you are not getting a full batch of cup cakes, then you're stuck with whatever standard / special flavors they happen to already be making. I guess it was my fault for not being more insistent with questions early on in the conversation. They have a website, but it doesn't really tell you everything you need to know when you're trying to do something custom. read more

I am so excited that I found Butter Bakery! It was just about a week ago that I inquired about making a cake for my mom's birthday. My mom's favorite is German Chocolate but no one else loves coconut. So we came up with the idea of doing a regular chocolate cake and just putting some German chocolate frosting on the top. It was perfect!! I'm so happy with how it turned out and it was delicious!! Plus was delivered for free. For Christmas we spent $100 on a fancy cake from Goldbelly and this one was SO much better--and much less! Never again. Cant wait to try more things from Butter Bakery! read more

Devonna is a dream and we were so privileged to work with her for our son's second birthday! I called about a week in advance asking her to make him a cookie-themed cake, and she presented us with this gorgeous masterpiece! He absolutely loved it and had never seen so many cookies in his life. Her prices are really good for the amount of labor, detail, love, and art she puts into her work, and the cakes are easy to cut and do not fall apart easily. The cookies are all soft, and the cake is delicious. In addition to delivering the cake on a Sunday, she gave us some complimentary cookies and popcorn. We were blown away by her cake and treats! Look no further than Butter Bakery for your dessert needs. We will definitely be calling her again when we need another cake! read more

In a word, PERFECTION. I ordered a German chocolate cake for Dad's 75th; it's his favorite, so he's very discerning. Chef Devonna Banks' creation was a masterpiece! The cake was ginormous, gorgeously decorated, and generously frosted (some skimp on the coconut exterior, NOT HERE!). Everyone in the family declared it was the best cake they had ever eaten (sorry, Aunt Lou), and had TWO PIECES each. This is something I have never witnessed in the history of my family. Before eating, though, we all had to pose with the cake, because it was such a lovely presentation (and centerpiece for our meal). My father was over the moon, and has already called to let me know he is enjoying cake for breakfast (goes great with coffee, he reports). More about the cake: perfect fudgy frosting on top, thick, dreamy coconut/nut on the sides, and moist, perfectly-cooked dark chocolate cake inside. I am in awe of Chef Banks' talent and will definitely be reaching out to her for more bakery masterpieces in the future! (Did I mention the price is incredibly reasonable? Chef, I'd pay you twice as much for this stellar work.) read more

Parking is a bit annoying in this area, so you'll likely need to take a little walk to get to the alley that Kinrose is on. However, when you do enter, you're welcomed with roses, Pac Man, and unique, sweet treats! We sampled most of the menu and found our favourite flavours to be Sheer Moz Brulee and Sour Cherry & Fairy Floss. The Sheer Moz is a perfectly-balanced banana and comes with banana chips. Delicious! Yet, the more we ate the Sour Cherry & Fairy Floss, the more we loved that one. You'll find little crunchy surprises within the ice cream or the fairy floss (not entirely sure), but it all melts smoothly in your mouth. Based on these two flavours alone would we highly rate Kinrose Creamery. The other flavours can be hit or miss based on your preferences. If you're looking for quality ice cream with unique flavours, then come to Kinrose Creamery! Prices are fair, staff is friendly and efficient, and there are a number of seats within. Additionally, you can play some arcade Pac Man!

It was also definitely worth the price, it came with three pieces, which was more than enough to share between two people. The Iced Honeycomb Latte was just as good. It doesn't come sweetened at first, but as the dalgona slowly melts into the coffee, it adds the perfect amount of sweetness. If you prefer your coffee less sweet, you can always ask for less dalgona. On top of the great food and drinks, the staff was incredibly friendly.

I love beets, and they pair so well with goat cheese. What made this even more unique was that it came as a tartine/toast, which was a little different from what I usually order. Every bite seemed to get better and better! It was slightly sweet and refreshing at the same time. The fresh mint garnish was such a nice touch--it really helped reset the palate between bites. And then there were the little sprinkles of chili powder! I didn't notice them at first, but that subtle kick was such a fun surprise and added another layer of flavor. 10/10 for me! And I have to mention the blueberry scone. It was SO good that I ate it before my main meal! That should tell you everything you need to know.

I originally stopped by to pick up their famous cinnamon roll, which made the lists for top 10 cinnamon rolls in LA County. Unfortunately, they didn't have any cinnamon rolls the two times I stopped by. (I think it had something to do with how their AC is currently out and awaiting repairs). Not wanting to leave empty handed, I decided to get a few slices of cake instead. And boy am I glad I did! So far I've tried their red velvet cake, vanilla cake with strawberry frosting, and a seasonal strawberry cake. The cakes were all rich and on the denser side, and were a cross between moist and crumbly. Each cake also paired exceptionally well with the velvety thick frosting. So the backup plan was a rousing success, as all three cake slices were fabulously indulgent and the perfect treat. ****************** My Ratings: 1 Star: Terrible; just thinking about it makes me angry. 2 Stars: Wasn't a fan so Not likely to return. 3 Stars: Meh. Average. Might return if others drag me. 4 Stars: Yum! Likely to return. 5 Stars: Amazing! Would plan my day around it.

They seem to share the storefront with some other businesses, but there were some empty spaces. They had some limited high tops along the front window and one table. However it was really hot where we were sitting for an ice cream shop. Noah helped us with our order and she was super friendly. She was very gracious about offering us samples and telling us about the ice cream shop. So Wanderlust is inspired by global flavors, so you'll see unique flavors here. My cousin and I were pretty full from dinner so we decided to get the Tasting Trio ($6.50). We were told that these would be smaller scoops of each but you get to enjoy the variety, which was perfect for us. We opted for the Kinder, Ube Malted Crunch, and Japanese Neapolitan. This in itself was a nice mix of matcha, Sakura or Japanese cherry blossoms, and Hokkaido milk. All of the flavors were mild and not too sweet. I think my favorite was the Japanese Neapolitan. To be honest I was less excited by my experience with the Irvine location, but the flavors I tried here were much better. My cousin and I had a nice treat. It would have been a tad more enjoyable if it wasn't so hot here.

Bad communication & unorganized. I was searching for a bakery that is able to mimic the same Cookie Cake from the "big brand", Mrs. Field, but just make it better for my significant other's Birthday. I blindly called and said they are able to take on the task. Prior to proceeding, I asked for photos for reference to see if it would be up to standards, plus this is a custom order that has not been on her site or yelp that I can see for reference. Never got a response back via text the same day nor the next. The next two days, on the day of pick-up, I called again regarding a follow-up on the cookie cake and see how it would look like, so I can make any adjustments prior to delivery, and she said she can't... like what? She refused to send me images and asked to pay the invoice in advance when I have not seen what it looked like yet. While on the way to Perris Joint, I received the text that my order is ready. I arrived they mentioned it is not here yet, that I would wait for however long minutes. I was in a time-crunched that I needed at 12 pm, which the time I came. Since the person is hard to communicate with, I canceled. I'm always willing to support small businesses that I have been for years but support what I require, communication, and images of the cake that I asked for. Note: I believe this is a small "at-home" independent bakery. Pick up is at Perry's Joint in borderline, North Pasadena/Altadena. Perry's Joint shares the same building as the medical center, and they do not allow rear parking. Only street parking, which is somewhat hard to find. read more

So let me tell you my AMAZING experience with Butter Bakery. I called on the day of my sons birthday looking for chocolate chip cookies cause the kid doesn't like cake. A sweet lady answered the phone and I asked her if it was possible since it was so last minute. She said "Oh don't worry I'll bake some for you and have it ready in an hour". Ummmmm I was stoked to say the least and than we got creative and made him a specialized large cookie. And you wanna here the kicker???? She delivered it to the restaurant we were having his birthday dinner. She greeted me with the largest smile on her face that lighted up the room. Now let's talk about the cookies!!!! Sweet Jesus they were the best cookies we've had. They arrived warm and the presentation was superb! I think I've covered it all so don't look further!!!! read more
