    Snake cake
    Melody Anne V.

    They NAILED IT!!! This is my new go to birthday bakery!!! I was planning on being crafty and doing the cake myself but then I realized I needed some professional help! I went in there and spoke with the nice staff I showed them a picture of what I wanted and they were able to work their magic! Cake was able to be made with the weeks notice I gave them and it tasted delicious!! I still get people messaging me about who did my cake!! Way to go guys

    For the life of me I cannot understand why Ernies does not have more or better reviews. They have great pastries and frankly if you are looking for a custom cake for half the price of other bakeries in town you should stop by Ernies. In recent years i have seen the business at Ernie's slow down but for now this place doesn't show any sign of closing it's doors. Ernies has been a part of the Eastside Fresno community for as long as I can remember. As other businesses have come and gone Ernies's has remained Steady.They are located in a small older building right on Kings Canyon next to a nail shop. If you blink you will likely miss it. The people working in the bakery seem to remain pretty consistent as well. Every time I go into Ernies there is one of two girls standing behind the counter which is pretty great considering the girls are always pleasant. As for the products, I love Ernies donuts. Are they the best I have had? No but they are some of the best in Fresno. I for one love their chocolate on Chocolate cake donuts. The ply me with enough sugar and energy in the morning to get on everyone's nerves at work. I also usually buy birthday cakes/party cakes from Ernie's. They are able to create amazing cake with buttercream frosting that are moist, tasty and inexpensive. I will say that I would not buy a wedding cake or cake for any other super fancy event from here because they are limited in the things that they can do (design wise). However, if I want a fun cake for a baby shower or graduation or birthday party then Ernie's is my go to bakery. Frankly, Ernies epitomizes Old school bakeries. before there were cake bosses and cake wars there were the the Ernie's of the world. No flash, no gimmicks just quaint, sweet,family run businesses specializing in customer service and goddies.

    Ernie's Bakery from the parking area. Sign in front to indicates they sell "hot" breakfast croissants...except mine wasn't.

    Went in at around 9am on a Saturday and tried their "Hot" breakfast croissant. Welp, it was definitely not hot. I was given a cold croissant and the young lady who helped me didn't even offer to warm it up. Her attitude was not very friendly either. I'm sure this place specializes more in custom cakes, but based on their customer service and false advertised item, I will not be going back.

    Omg what an amazing cake ! We asked for marble cake and we got it !! A lot of places don't really do a true marble but this place nailed it ! It was so good and the decoration on the cake was so cute ! Everyone asked where did we get the cake because it was so cute plus tasted great!! Super satisfied!!

    Have never been disappointed with any Ernie's goodies and specialty cakes. Yea they have cupcakes and cookies, but they are so fancy decorated for special occassions. Check out their FB page, great stuff!

    I ordered my sons birthday cake and baptism cake from here and they were amazing! Not only did they look good but they tasted so good!!! The cake was perfect and the frosting wasn't over powered by sugar! I will be sure to order more cakes from here and highly recommend this place. Prices are reasonable especially for the quality of the work!!

    Fornite 2 tier cake to feed 15 people.

    Customer service was ok. It wasn't like exceptionally out of this world great. I went in and looked at some photos of cake, selected this cake and place my order 5 days in advance and that was including a holiday in between the 5 days. Paid half price in order to place my order. They charged me a fee of $1.92 on top of that for using visa debit/credit card without notifying me in advance prior to ringing me up that I would have to pay for processing fee for using a bank card. So when I had my husband picked up the cake later on that week, I had given him the remainder of the balance in cash. The cake looked nice. I had order marble on top tier and chocolate on bottom tier. Taste wise, it was ok. The cake was dry and not moist. The icing in between the cake was sweet and thick. I don't know if I would order from the place again.

    I love Ernies bakery, they made this beautiful unicorn cake for my grand daughter yesterday, it was beautiful as you can see and it tasted soo good, fresh ingredients, made from scratch. Everyone wanted to know where I got it because it was delicious, the bottom layer was strawberry swirl cake and top layer was banana nut cake. Thank you Ernie for making my granddaughters birthday soo special. Will definitely be back again

    I want them make this one

    I love walking in and immediately seeing all the pastries on display. They look so pretty and cute!…read moreI went to the counter and everyone I talked to on the staff was so kind and friendly. I ordered a cake for my birthday and was able to pick it up the morning of the next day. It came with candles, matches, and a cake spatula that you can cut and serve the cake with. I got the cappuccino cake that looks like a cup of cappuccino. The inside was coffee flavored and it was so soft and fluffy. The cream also had coffee flavored and it was absolute heaven in my mouth. It had a caramel top over a white chocolate layer and it also had a chocolate handle, 3 coffee bean shaped chocolates on top, and a couple of chocolate sticks next to the chocolate logo of the bakery. They even wrote Happy Birthday in chocolate on the board the cake was on. The packaging was neat and compact so it didn't take too much space in the fridge and still kept the cake in perfect condition. I always order my birthday cakes from here every year because it's the only bakery that gets the texture of a whole cake actually right. Not dense and heavy, but light and airy and not too sweet.

I spent around 10 to 15 dollars on a few higher priced items and they turned out to be stale. To make matters worse I actually ended up getting sick after eating them. As for the service it was alright overall. The store was very busy and there were only two tellers working but they were pretty fast and I was able to check out at a quick pace. The ambience was nothing crazy to talk about and it just looks like a standard small bakery with some seating. Typically when I have an experience like this I choose not to return. My friends have invited me back since then but after that first experience I just do not have any interest in going back.

Like pork buns are 3.00 cash and 3.09 credit card. But at least that's an option now. Warmly greeted and helped at the front counter when I walked in. Looks like a traditional Chinese bakery with their decor and set up and heard the front counter lady say their food is more based on the south side of China. Their steam pork buns will always be a favorite. I was lucky enough to walk in when they brought out a fresh new batch so it was still nice and warm when I got home. Dough is sweet and fluffy with their bbq pork filling. For 3.00 a bun, it was quite smaller than I remember. The ratio of the dough and filling was also not as portioned. Some bites you just get the dough. First time having their steam chicken buns and was surprised to see that it was sliced chicken with veggies and a slice boiled egg. This was not it for me. It was like eating a stir fry in a bun. Though this bun was bigger and more portioned than the steam pork buns. This was also my first time trying their Shumai dumplings. The flavor was there. A nice umami flavor. But I was missing the bouncy texture of the meat. And for 4 for 7.00 they were pretty small (compared to the dim sum places). Looking forward to trying other others on their menu now that the menu and signs are easier to see/read.

I ordered my usual Papa's Breakfast which comes with French toast, a soft boiled egg, and garlic bread. The French toast was perfectly done with the most softest and tastiest cream on top. I got the peach topping this time, but they have different options depending on what they have in season. The soft boiled egg was so cute and came in its own little egg holder with tiny spoon. The garlic bread was nice and crispy with a satisfying crunch when you bite into it. Overall, I enjoyed my meal here as usual and it made my visit with my friend a comfortable time together.

We went for dinner on the night of their soft opening and unfortunately there were a lot of hiccups. We were not introduced to our waiter/waitress? It was someone different the first few times and then the same girl for the last half. It took over half an hour to get our drinks ordered, and we had to prompt the server to put in the appetizer order. It took an hour to get our entrees from the time we ordered them. The wine selection from France was incredible the desserts were also fantastic but sadly the rest of the menu felt a bit lacking in comparison. That all being said it was the first night and I'm sure a thousand things went wrong in the process. We'd love to come back and try the dinner again when they've got some more evenings under their belt.
