Just went in to get a quote. I was quoted $400 For a small circular fondant cake that feeds 28 people. they must be out of their damn minds. They are insane if they are trying to charge these prices. I ordered a really nice cake last year that feeds 28 people and was only charged $140 read more

What can I say about this place that hasn't already been said? I live in a neighborhood nearby, and Candle Light Bakery is a regular stop on my list. They have a nice selection of freshly-baked pastries that pair wonderfully with their espresso-based beverages. The owner is serious about coffee, which is really great, because they are always bringing in new and exciting roasts that will challenge your taste buds. They offer espresso, lattes, pour over coffee, and some blended drinks also. Candle Light was largely known as a baker of cakes over the years, but ever since moving to their current location, they have really made an effort on breakfast pastries (chocolate cigars and guava flake pastries, please!) and coffee. I wish they would have even more focus on the coffee, because it is that good. Unfortunately, it is not consistent, and the espresso drinks will vary based on the server. Sterling does an excellent job, as does the shop owner. I have also tried several of their cakes. My personal favorite is to keep it simple with a fruit-filled white cake. Strawberries and peaches, or strawberries and bananas, etc. Their white cake is really light, and the fruit with whipped cream filling and toppings are fresh and delicious. read more

Have tried just a few times but really good pastries and cakes are super soft and spongy!

So we came here on Mother's Day... we pre ordered and when we got there we had to wait in line like everyone else . Fine no problem.... so after about 45-50 min a lady got there called and was complaining saying she had meat in her car and was waiting for 2 hours ... a flat out lie.... she literally was in line for 5 mins .so you guys allowed her to get in her car and serve her through the back door while we sat there and watched.... great customer service let people cut the lie for some bs reason. Thanks for treating your customers like trash.... read more

My friend brought their Tiramisu to a birthday party last month and I have to say, it was the absolute best I've ever had. I am usually not a big dessert person, as I don't like overly sweet things and usually fill up on the main meal anyway, but I honestly think I could have eaten the entire thing myself!!! As it was I had 3 pieces. Looking forward to trying other items there. read more

This was the second time (different day) I have told the girls in the front that they had a fly in their glass fridge in the front with all the cookies!! And they do nothing about it! How disgusting. They care more about people wearing their mask over their nose but are not clean to the cookies with a bug flying around. The chunky girl with rainbow eyeshadow and rainbow shirt RUDE, I couldn't help laugh cause she's more worried about the mask but not worried about the cleanliness of the bakery. NASTY! Get your guys protocols straight please! I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one telling you guys about the bug! They must have not taken it out two weeks ago when I went by! Eww! read more

I've been coming here for years. But this last time I went, terrible customer service and rude.

Went in on a Sunday rather close to closing time. Sincewhat Ireallywantedwasn'tavailable, I decided to try several different treats. The cupcakes were very good. The red velvet cake was good and so was the thres Leche. We got some assorted macaroons that were okay. The chocolate cake was okay. All in all, I didn't taste anything that would make me come back for more like it was calling my name. Maybe I didn't try whatever specialty they have. read more

I love this place. They started off in the same building but much smaller and have grown into this wonderful bakery. Their customer service is great, always willing to offer options and always will to meet your needs. I brought in a picture as I have don't in the past and they were all over it. I can wait to see my final product tomorrow! I've used this place for as long as I can remember, I've also recommended my friends and family and they've recommended theirs. Cakes are thee best!!!!! Thank you for always helping and always being there in the nick of timeall of you rock!!!! read more

WEDDING CAKE QUOTE: Well you won't get a quote over the phone. How much do you charge? Can't tell you. How much per slice? Can't tell you. Then she says "well wedding cakes are more decorated" Umm... Duh! Of course they are. So let me get this straight... you want me to waste my time, while I waste your time just to find out your cakes are NOT in my price range. How come she didnt offer me a cake testing appointment? So 1 star for bad service on wedding cakes and 5 stars for their chocolate cake with whipped cream and bananas. So 3 stars it is. Come on candlelight get your stuff together unless you guys don't know how to do nice wedding cakes so you dont try to get people to come in. read more

If you have a picture In mind of how you want your cake decorated, come here. They have accomplished every design I have shown/came up with. The cake is always decorated exactly how I wanted. BUT the taste is terrible. I don't understand how or what they do. If you buy a cake from the display it tastes great, but my custom cakes always taste terrible. The cakes In the displays are always so moist and flavorful, that's why I come back but my custom cakes are ALWAYS dry and legit have no flavor to it. All you taste is the frosting. I ordered my cake for my son yesterday and it LOOKED so amazing, but was inedible. No flavor what so ever and DRY, I'm disappointed because I did spend a good chunk of money for a 6" cake . 1 Star for flavor 5 stars for the decoration and the costumer service read more

The Napoleon cake and the Horchata Latte are awesome! Not really a hang out place because of the lack of tables and chairs. However, this maybe the place to get custom made cakes. Have not ordered one yet...but when I do, I hope it'll be a hit! We'll see. I'm a fan so far. read more

Thank You THANK YOU SO MUCH , literally ordered this cake the day before and was able to have it ready on time. I've always used candle light bakery for mostl all my birthday cakes. Their napoleon cake is theeee best. I've never had an issue with any cakes. This rosette cake was a vanilla cake with strawberry filling and let me tell you it was great! It wasn't too sweet and the whippe icing was a perfect compliment on the cake. I could have ate the entire cake it was THAT good. Best bakery in the area and counter girls are always on it !

I really enjoy going to this bakery for (obviously) it's baked goods. I recently tried their chocolate cigar and it was delicious! I am excited to see that they have grown to know incorporate a full coffee bar, which gives the place a Porto's-like feel. I wish they had more room for seating so that I can study there! I gave this place 4 stars for two reasons--- first, the costumer service is o.k. They can be a little more friendly in general. Second, they have no decaf espresso! I know what you are thinking: "what kind of person goes to a bakery/coffee shop to get decaf?!" The answer is ME! I love coffee but since i have recently had a baby and I am breast feeding, decaf has been my saving grace (I am one of those people who love coffee for it's taste not for the caffeine high although that is a plus as well). On one of my few moments that I had free, I stopped by to try the horchata late (which my husband had highly recommended). Of course, i was going to get it decaf but had to leave with a tear in my eye when I was told that there was no decaf option. :'( Oh well. I guess ill have to go back in 5 months. read more

Great selection of cakes, mini cakes, & little baked goods! All the staff was very friendly and attentive. Their most popular cake, the Napolean, is white cake with a layer of flakey pastry, topped with fruit - delicious but way too much buttercream for my liking. The people in this parking lot do nottt know how to park!! Be careful! read more

I used this bakery to order my graduation cake & cupcakes. Ordering was so smooth and the girl who helped was awesome and insightful. The day of the party I picked up the cake & cupcakes, they were all ready to go right on time! Topper & fresh flowers were added by myself the day of. The cake was SO moist and yummy, and the decor was precisely what I asked for. Cupcakes were amazing as well, the cream cheese icing on the red velvet was soo good. Was so thrilled with the outcome and was very happy with the service/ final product received. All at a reasonable price. Thanks guys! read more

Recently received a birthday cake from this bakery it was delicious. Decorated beautifully their signature horchata latte is so good as well, my only tip for improvement on the latte would be make it warmer it was kind of cold considering it's a hot coffee. The prices are very reasonable considering the high quality. I've read some reviews about the frosting changing I thought it was very good not overly sweet. Everyone should try this place! read more

Probably one of the few place in the area where you can get a decent latte. I found this place via yelp, and have not been let down. The coffee is not mindblowing, but it is decent and CONSISTENTLY so, which I can appreciate. The staff has always been very pleasant, so nothing to complain about there. The location is not the best - it's in this strip mall with a few random businesses nearby. But, the interior is clean and simpo. I haven't tried any of their cakes, but they look great. They remind me of portos cakes. The macarons are a recent addition, and they look slightly amateur-ish, but I am somewhat of a macaron snob. Overall, worth the visit if you're craving a latte while in the neighborhood. I think it's slightly on the pricey side ($4.50 for a vanilla latte) when considering the overall quality. read more

Candle Light Bakery does a job well done! There cakes are great and not too sweet. I've had the chocolate ganache, the napoleon, and strawberry shortcake. My fave so far is the strawberry shortcake. I love that it's semi-sweet and they do a nice job decorating! The only thing I don't like too much is they use a lot of frosting. Will have to ask them next time to go easy. read more

This USED to be my go to bakery for all my kids birthday cake orders. I came in today to order a basic blue 1 tier 8" cake with some checkered fondant around the bottom and a hot wheels logo on the front. I ordered something similar a couple years ago and it only cost me like $40. This cake on the other hand was around $160!!! WTH??? For a one tier 8" cake??? That's insane if you ask me.. and to top it off I originally wanted a simple hot wheels loop on the top of the cake but that loop alone was going to cost $40 BY ITSELF! I am so disappointed with this business, and sad I had to make my cake order somewhere else. read more

Called ahead and stated I did not want to buy a cake, I wanted to know if they could print an edible image for a cake I was making. (They do not sell pet options) the girl said yes. I even explained twice I did not to purchase their cake. The girl put me on hold twice, I showed up and was informed *drum roll* I must buy their cake. They said that they can't, so the CAN print an image for one of their cakes, what the girl was basically saying is they won't. The place looked nice, stuff looked good but considering I called ahead, I saw nothing special to make me come back, just go to Porto's. read more

I love ordering and eating the cakes and pastries from here. Have been for the past couple of years now. I got pretty upset though when i was eating to the soft texture of the cake when I felt like I chewed on a bone or something. It appears as though they dropped a tag into it when they were mixing the cake. Saddened to say this was my last cake. I usually buy 8 cakes a year from here. Guess I'll stay closer to home in Riverside from now on. Thanks for the memories read more

I have ordered several cakes here before and have never had an issue. This time, however, it seemed that the bakery fell short. 1. The cake was suppose to be ready at 5:30pm for pick up, instead when my sister arrived to pick up the cake at 6pm, the cake was made incorrectly and on a round sheet cake instead of square. The bakery said they'd fix it and put it on a square sheet cake that they had to spare. So my sister waited 15-20 minutes for the cake to be remade. 2. Since they had to remake the cake, you can tell that the cake looked rushed. There was a gap between the black sides and the red piping on the top of the cake and the color looked like it was fading as it went higher up the cake and went from a black color to a fading grey-blue color then to white. The writing wasn't centered and wasn't at all like the picture I had provided the bakery with. 3. When we finally cut into the cake at home the filling wasn't even a custard filling, like I had ordered. It was just plain whipped cream like frosting, pretty much like what they used to frost the exterior of the cake with. I took pictures of everything and let the bakery know what my issues were. I had my party Saturday evening (the bakery was already closed by the time we cut into the cake) and Sunday my family and I had gotten sick with the flu. I finally had a chance to call the bakery on Wednesday when we were feeling better and sent them a list of my issues and the attached pictures of what the cake was suppose to look like and what it actually looked like. When they finally answered my issues they basically called me a liar and said their baker said the cake was a custard filling (which I'm sure it was on the original round cake they made, not the sheet cake they had to remake the cake onto last minute). Since the baker said it was custard, they said they wouldn't do anything about the filling. They offered to refund me $9 for the wait and for the decoration. Just as an idea, my cake was about $50, including the additional charge of $5 for the sprayed black sides the border and writing are included in the $44 pricing of the sheet cake itself. So yippie, you're giving me back what I payed for the sprayed sides and $4 for having to wait for the cake to be remade incorrectly and for the atrocious writing on top. And then to be called a liar for the filling. The cakes are usually good, but I'm so frustrated with the customer service that this will be the last time I use this bakery. Having bought plenty of cakes from them before and raved about their cakes to others, they definitely lost a loyal customer. read more

Small cozy location with Great service and amazing selection. I decided to try out the Horchata Latte, great flavor not over powering like most places. The only concern is its a bit pricey at $4.50 for what seems to be a small cup. No size options. Also left with a red velvet and Horchata cup cakes, tiramisu, chocolate croissant, and a chocolate chip cookie. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Other than that you'll be glad you stopped by. I'll be back read more

My family buys cakes from them for our functions and everyone raves about it each time they have a slice!

The bakery is nice and maybe good for cakes, but the pastries are okay, which is why I'm only giving 3 stars. The first time I visited I got a few macarons and they were all hard and crumbly! Only one seemed fresh. When I came for my second visit, I asked of they were fresh but the girl seemed surprised by my question and didn't have an answer. I don't know how you can work at a place and not know if the pastries were made the same day or not? You or somebody else had to be there to open and see if new ones were put out, or the leftovers from yesterday. I decided not to get macarons again and got an oreo cupcake instead, which was actually really good. I also got a cream horne which they fill with custard on the spot. I prefer cream in my cream horne tho, hence the name. Overall, wouldn't recommend this place unless you wanted a cupcake, maybe. I'm sure the cakes might be good, but I don't think I'd personally take a chance on it. read more
