Although I miss the original Dolce's vibe and restaurant, their new branding for Layered Cakerie still hits the same luckily for just a bakery. There are many sweet treats to choose from and they all look so pretty. Don't sleep on their cookies! The raspberry linzers, blueberry lemon, and Mexican hot chocolate cookies are my favorite. I recently ordered a custom quarter sheet cake as well for my sister's 30th birthday party. I ordered in advance in the beginning of December for late January. I filled out a consult message from their website and someone reached out to me within a couple days. She consulted with me about the cake via phone call and confirmed the finalized design with me over text. I paid half over the phone and then was required to come into the store to pay the rest. We picked up the cake with no issues. I like the way it turned out and they did a better job than I ever could attempt. If I have to be a bit nitpicky, the final cake had a more soft rounded look to the edges than the more defined shape as seen in the inspo photo. Either way, my sister loved it and so did her guests. It tasted great too! There were 15 of us and we had enough cake for everyone and a decent amount of leftovers. The staff here are very nice and I love that they have regular cakes they make daily for walk in to pick up which we did for my husband's birthday. read more

The cakes and pastries are beautiful, but the cakes were hit or miss for me. We got the "build your own cake" option and selected 8 slices for $50. This saves about $4 compared to 8 individual slices. About half of the slices had inconsistent densities of cake. The Oreo in particular, one layer of cake was really dense and the others lighter. The red velvet was just dry overall and not enough cocoa/chocolate in the cake. The cream cheese icing was also lacking. The edge of the cake on one of the layers of the Neapolitan was over baked/slightly burnt. Our faves were the crème brûlée and chocolate mocha which had the best crumb textures and flavors. Overall I would come back again to try some more cakes. read more

Came across this bakery, while driving. I came when there was only 1 person ahead of me. The ladies were busy chatting. One person was helping the other customer while 3 others were chatting, maybe they saw me came in maybe not. So as I was looking through the cake fridge, since that was my first time there. One of the lady decided to asked me, "you're ready?" Her tone sounded annoyed that I was even there. Mind you, i purchased 1 full cake, 1 mini birthday cake, a box of small cakes/pastry, 3 packed of macaroons and 2 slices of individual cakes. Her body language just screaming "rude, I don't need your business" gesture. She packed those recklessly that the mini which I was gonna dropped to somebody's house, ended up touches the side of the box. SMH. Maybe I just came at the wrong day, but that was definitely a turn off. Enough about that. Cake's wise, they're okay. No complaints other than that mini marble birthday cake was overly too sweet. My kiddos loved the macaroons, so were their teachers. The horchata tres leches was yumm. The strawberry cake was light and yummy. So all these stars are for the cakes. Negative stars for the service. I still blessed their tip jar anyway. read more

This little bakery is amazing !! The workers were super nice and gave recommendations when I asked and were patient when I decided what I wanted to get. The cookies I got were incredible! Not too sweet but also moist and delicious. The store itself is super clean and welcoming. I can't wait to try more goodies from here! They have a deal where you can build your own cake by picking 8 slices of their assorted cakes for $50 which is a great deal as well. The price of the cookies and cakes here are also super reasonable especially for how high quality their pastries are! read more

The cake, cookies, and raspberry napoleon were excellent. The prices were very good and the staff were nice.

What happened to this place. Never been more disappointed for something. I have bought cakes from here the last few years probably since 2017 or 18. I bought a cake from here twice. One for my mom and one for my boyfriend. Today I decided to buy another cake for him for his birthday and what the heck. The website menu states that cheesecake is original with a graham cracker crust. Let me tell you that is no graham cracker crust. It tastes nothing like a real graham cracker. It's not sweet, and there was no texture. It looked like undercooked phyllo dough. We also got the chocolate Amore cake slice, and that was the one that I bought for my mom years ago. I even have a picture of her blowing the candles out on it, but the frosting in the cake was awful. The ganache was not soft at all, and when I put my fork into it, it was so hard and that the entire cake layers smashed, and all of the filling came out on the sides. Also, it tasted like nothing. Literally, I could not taste chocolate I could not taste any flavor in it except fake frosting. It felt like it was full of Crisco, the mouth feel with the grease layering ruined all of it. I took two bites, one to try it, the second one to verify. It was put back in the fridge and I'll leave it for him. Something happened with this bakery, and it wasn't good. read more

I've been coming to this bakery for years when it was adjoined to the restaurant which I loved. I thought the restaurant and bakery worked so well together but as I entered today I see that the restaurant is no longer and the bakery has changed it's name., I found out it's still run by the same owners. Since theres renovations going on it feels a bit unfinished with lots of emptiness at the moment. However, the quality of their baked goods remains as solid as ever. I'm excited to see the new look once the renovations are complete, but for now, I'm just glad that the quality of their baked goods remain the same. read more

Used to be part of another business. We were happy to see that they stayed and continued provided the area with amazing cakes. The service is always best when preordered but if they are not busy it won't take too long. Their chocolate chips cookies are also delicious. It's pretty quiet in there for the most part. read more

The main staff member greeted us with a smile and explained the recent rebranding and renovations with the dolce bakery to layered cakerie ! The other staff members didn't seem really happy to be there and could've greeted the other customers with a smile. Nevertheless the shop was clean and new the decor was shiny and so so cute ! On to the desserts, they were so so yummy. The linzer cookies are now my favorite!! The tiramisu was addicting as well! I didn't get to try my red velvet cheesecake cookies but from what i've heard from so i gave them to was that they were really good. The smore cookies were super rich and thick. Absolutely love this place and will for sure be back when in the area. read more

I've ordered cakes from this place a few times. My most recent experience wasn't good. I was extremely disappointed with their service. I order a 2 tier cake for 50 people, strawberry cream on top and red velvet on bottom. I gave the designer some inspiration photos. I did not want fondant so I went with butter cream and a cascade of balls down the side of the cake (like colors bubbles going down the cake). I was charged $370 and had to provide my own decorations (balls and alcohol bottles) which I did purchase and dropped off 3 days before the event as instructed by the designer. I paid the cake in full the day I ordered it. The day of my event, I sent my son to pick up the cake. Luckily he sent me a photo of the cake as they were leaving the store. The cake was not at all what we had agreed to and what I paid for. I've included the inspiration photos and a photo of the unfinished cake in this review. I had to have my son turn around go back to the store. I called the cake designer to complain and she offered no apology or explanation as to why half of the decorations were missing, she just said they would fix it. My son had to wait an hour for the cake which made him late to the party. Overall awful experience. If you plan on ordering from them, take my advice and ask for a Pic of the cake prior to picking it up. Make sure you get what you paid for! read more

What a gem in the IE! I was looking for mini cakes for a friends bday and after yelp search found this place. I was floored with their selection. I ended up getting two of the most beautiful mini cakes, cheesecakes and a cream puff. The prices are incredibly reasonable and every single item was delicious. This will be my spot for all desserts in the future. read more

Purchased a cake for a birthday party and I'm so grateful I found Layered Cakerie! It was easy to place an order over the phone with the patient and knowledgeable person who took my call. I picked up the next day and I received the same attention and friendly customer service when I arrived. Now, besides the attention the place was very clean and wide variety of choices, I ended up getting the crème brûlée and it was to die for ! So tasty. The cake was a success at the birthday party as well, everyone enjoyed it. We are most definitely coming back for more and would highly recommend this was a 10/10. Thank you (: read more

Bakeries are my weakness and this one did not disappoint!! I had to control myself so I just got a few things. The Mexican Hot Chocolate cookie sandwich with dulce de leche (caramel) filling was Ahhhmazing!! I need more!! I also tried the Raspberry linzers, cinnamon twists and almond cookies which were all good. I also got the Banana buttercup cupcake and Chocolate ganache tart. I loved the tres leche texture of the cupcake. The tart was tasty but I would have loved more ganache and less cream (?) topping. I was not a fan of that cream topping. I can't wait to go back for more! I want to try it all!! read more

Customers are greeted with a friendly welcome when you walk in. We've been coming here for years to pick up delicious cakes, but this was our first custom order.

Ordered on the phone and they had great service - informative, patient, friendly, and accommodating. I had a special request for the writing on it and they made sure it was just right. Paid over the phone and it was ready to go when I went to pick it up. There is a huge display of all their cakes and dessert when you go in, everything looks super delicious and the store is clean and modern. We tried the chocolate fresca (strawberry) and it was spongey, not too sweet, and everyone loved it. Will definitely be trying out the other cakes in the future. read more

Came here for the first time to try out a couple of desserts. The young lady that helped us was nice and patient with us and answered our questions. *** There is no inside seating or eating Here's what we ordered: Cream puff: 10/10 tasted fresh and ratio of cream was delicious Puff pastry with cream cheese: 9/10 it needed more filling Tiramisu: 7/10 mascarpone was delicious... the filling is definitely cake but no coffee flavor at all. Definitely would change my score if the coffee flavor was there. They do sell iced and hot coffee but they do not offer whip cream or any type of toppings / soft tops (bummer) Will come back to try others and update review! read more

Layered Cakerie is hands down my go-to bakery for cakes! Their hazelnut mocha cake is my absolute favorite--the perfect balance of rich chocolate, nutty hazelnut, and smooth coffee flavor. We make it a point to pick up something from here at least once a month because everything they make is just that good. Whenever I need a birthday cake, this is my first stop. One of the coolest things they offer is the option to build a custom cake with slices from different flavors, which is perfect if you can't decide on just one (trust me, it's hard to choose!). Whether you're celebrating something special or just craving an amazing dessert, Layered Cakerie never disappoints. Highly recommend! read more

My new cake shop and it'll be yours too! Absolutely loved their cakes. I was last minute cake shopping and found this gem. They have whole cakes, beautifully decorated, ready to go! They also have this option to build your own cake, you pick 8 slices of cakes (whatever flavor you want) and they put them together to form a whole round cake. Before doing that I decided to try a few of the different flavors so opted for the carrot cake (Easter themed), slice of mocha, and slice of almond rum. They were all a hit with my family. The mocha was 10/10 the best one (so far). They were all delicious but the mocha was at the top. They are just the right amount of sweetness, very moist, and flavorful. There is plenty of parking outside. There are also reward stamp cards and the staff were all helpful and kind. read more

I went in and got a full chocolate amore cake here on a whim for someone's birthday because I didn't want to get a grocery store cake. We all loved it. You always think a chocolate cake is going to be overwhelmingly rich--this was perfect. Moist cake, dense but pleasant crumb. Mousse between layers, really nice ganache on top. Usually I can only have a few bites of a chocolate cake but this one is dangerous - I could down a pretty fat slice of this really quick Worth the price and the staff is super sweet. The owner is also taking $$ donations for the fire victims in Pasadena! They have coffee and stuff too, will have to try it next time. This is my new go to place for cakes. I might even come in just to get a slice for myself one day :) read more

Cute bakery. Picked up a whole carrot cake for a birthday. Most amazing carrot cake I've ever had!!! Entire family had nothing but wonderful things to say. While there picked up a few cookies and desserts. Lemon blueberry cookie, everyone should be able to try these. Ding dong cake...very rich and easy to share. Nutter butter cookie, closest replica to a butter butter. The outside was crumbly while the cream filling was smooth. Great combination. read more

Not only are the cakes delicious and my families favorite, but the customer service is amazing every time! I love the ambiance of this bakery. I will say the only con is it is a bit on the pricier side, but worth it I think. read more

I ordered my sister's baby shower cake from here and it turned out great. I was initially disappointed when I came to pick it up because one of the design elements was done differently than I had requested. They apologized and had all of their bakers drop what they were doing to fix it asap. The cake was two tiers. We had strawberry Fresca on top and red velvet on bottom. Both were delicious, but in my opinion the red velvet was truly a standout. I got so many compliments on it at the shower and I'll definitely be getting my cakes here from now on! read more

I think I found my favorite flavor! I don't know why I waited this long to try it! The mixed berry tres leches is spot on! I ordered it for my daughter's 7th birthday and it was a hit for the kids and adults alike! The cake part was super moist but not runny so it wasn't any messier than regular cake and the sweetness was PERFECT! Not overly sweet but not bland at all and the custard and whipped frosting also had great flavor and were the perfect compliment. I love that their showcase cakes are simple yet elegant. They make great cakes for any occasion or you can add bits of your own decor if you don't want to go the custom route. We loved this much more than the strawberry Fresca which was a little more bland in flavor. read more

I was trying to find a bakery that will sell cake balls since Sam's club doesn't take pre orders and can't guarantee any items will even come. I found this place on Yelp with great reviews and selection so I thought to check this place out. I called in advance to ensure if they take preorders which they did. I decided to come here to try out the cake ball in advance so I know which to go with. When I got there, they have so many dessert choices which I find that awesome. I tried the confetti cake ball, chocolate cake ball, and a slice of Hazelnut Mocha cake. I didn't really like the chocolate cake ball because the flavor wasn't that good and end up realize it was Dark Chocolate. I know some dark chocolate can be good, but this wasn't. However, the confetti was tasty and moist. I decided to go with this one for my work Christmas party and pre ordered the 40 pieces party tray for $55 + tax. I was going to place an additional 10, but it would've been $1.50 each so I didn't as well as I don't even know if my co workers would even eat them. The hazelnut mocha cake was really good. When I came back to pick up my pre order on December 6th, I decided to order vanilla French macaron. I haven't tried a macaron before and been wanting to so I end up ordering the vanilla French macaron too. It was so good! The cake balls displayed really nicely at the Christmas party yesterday. I didn't go with any fancy design because they said if there is a design you want they do charge extra. With the tight budget I had, I couldn't do fancy design. Some of my co workers that did try the cake ball said it was tasty and even rated it at a 10. The staff was very friendly and helpful. There is plenty of parking since it's in a plaza. The price is decent so it isn't bad just coming here for 1 dessert to spoil myself. Haha I will definitely come back here to try there many different desserts. Can't wait! read more

I was looking to try a new place for a birthday cake and stumbled onto Layered Cakerie. The selection all looks amazing and it actually took me a while to decide on the flavor to go with, but in the end I went with the safe selection in their Strawberry Fresca. I was very surprised of how the cream was so light and not sugary but with just the right sweetness. I can't wait to go back and try the other flavors. read more

Picked up a Rum Cake for my dad's birthday and it was a hit ! Everyone enjoyed it !!!!

Thank you for this beautiful cake! It was a hit and very delicious! The detail was amazing

My husband wanted a cheesecake for his birthday so since we were in the area we stopped by. We ended up with the build your own cake and it was so amazing. The Oreo cookie cake was my favorite. The employees were very friendly and we will definitely be back. They have a variety of items but we only purchased the cake. My husband, my son and I finished the cake within two days It was pretty busy in there on a Sunday afternoon so be prepared to wait a little. It wasn't a long wait and the employee thanked us for waiting. Can't wait to return read more

Came on my 2 year anniversary to purchase some cake slices , we got the almond rum and the chocolate amor cake! Both super delicious our favorite out of the two was the almond rum it was moist and the almond toppings mixture added a very nice crunch . The almond rum was something we have never tried before and we are glad we did ! We would come back just for that cake alone . The staff were friendly and helpful ! read more

This place has been my favorite for many years but our relationship has come. There have been a lot of changes happening. The staff is still helpful and kind. A few months ago when I ordered a custom cake it wasn't the same. Someone stood with me at the counter very impersonal. The previous year the baker sat with me and worked with my idea and made great recommendations. So that has changed. **** THE CAKES HAVE CHANGED***** The amounts of frosting inside the cake has about tripled. And the amount of frosting to make the outside even and look pretty is insane. Now the cakes are a lot sweeter. read more
