Came in here after checking out the Davis Vintage & Craft Fair on a Sunday and my friends and I each ordered cupcakes! My friend ordered the Mr. Mango (vanilla cake filled with mango custard topped with mango cream cheese frosting), and I got the Illegally Blonde (vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream). I forgot what my third friend ordered, but she said it was good LOL. The flavor's pretty solid, there's a LOT of frosting and it's very solidified. The piping is really pretty and it's worth trying if you're craving a sweet treat, they also have vegan and gluten free cupcakes and goods being sold at the bakery. read more

We enjoyed some festive and fun cupcakes from Let Them Eat Cake! In Davis, CA! They have a ton of different flavors and you can get normal sized cupcakes or mini cupcakes. They also have plenty of vegan cupcakes options too. My favorite was the "Pot of Gold"- Irish cream cupcake with Baileys! The interior is super cute too, it's very festive with all the Christmas decorations and it's bright pink inside so it's definitely perfect for little kids or for Instagram photos!! read more

I decided to pop by on a Monday afternoon because I was in the area and got some red velvet cupcakes. They have regular sized cupcakes as well as mini ones and I got both. The regular sized one was $3.75 and the mini ones are $1.50. After trying the cupcake, I will have to admit that I felt a bit underwhelmed overall. Flavor wise, I think it was pretty good. Their frosting isn't overly sweet and there is a lightness to it which seems unique because typically cream cheese frosting on red velvet cakes are quite thick. The cake itself had a notable chocolate flavor but it was a tad bit on the dry side. Although the cupcake wasn't bad, I don't think it is anything I can rave about so if you're in the area and you're craving a little sweet treat then perhaps give them a try. read more

One of my favorite bakeries here in Davis / Yolo County! I love everything about here from their delicious drinks, unique macarons, cookies, creative cupcakes and mini cupcakes, and so much more! There is plenty of seating inside and outside. Everytime I've been here, everyone is super kind, attentive, knowledgeable about what they have to offer and answers about any allergies or concerns, and so much more! I also like how they post their daily menu and selections on their Instagram page or you can call them in store to see what flavors of cupcakes they have available. They have so much to offer! I always look forward to my visits here! read more

Very happy with my custom cake and some cupcakes I added on! I really feel like the price matched the quality for my experience. I got a custom 6" cake for ten people and simply asked for bees and honey drips made from frosting. I left the rest to them and they delivered a very cute cake! I added my own cake topper and candles and it was perfect for the event. The 6" definitely fed all 10 of us, plus we had almost half a cake for the next day. Loved that! The birthday boy loves peanut butter and chocolate more than anything so we got the "Love at First Bite" and wow!!! It was so moist and SO delicious. Cut really beautifully, too! I also added on 6 cupcakes for post turkey trot 5k snacks for my friends and I. Dubliner, Rosie, and Johnny Appleseed were soooo good! Corn off the cob was fun to try and unique, but not my cup of tea. Lol! Overall, a truly wonderful bakery with excellent customer service! read more

Updating my review. Let them eat cake is soooooo delicious. Best place to get cupcakes in Davis. Sign up for a five star reward card to save towards a reward. Everyone who works here is so nice, and the decor is soooo cute. They're very helpful and everything is properly socially distanced. There is tape on the floor six feet apart. Unfortunately, due to covid they have reduced hours. The cupcakes are pretty reasonably priced, $3 for a really good quality cupcake. I used to live in LA, and I'll say it, Candace Nelson come at me. Let them eat cake has better cupcakes than Sprinkles. On this day, there were maybe 9? Different types of cupcakes on display, including some vegan options! I was really intrigued by the "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and "down by the sea". I really enjoyed the down by the sea frosting. I didn't really taste the mimosa, but both were really quite good. I'd love to try their other selections another time! read more

Not bad! Not great. Came on a Sunday afternoon. The display case was half empty, so I may have missed the day's rush. What was left was mostly vegan options, which is cool, but I wasn't interested in trying a vegan cupcake. I got one standard sized Guinness Chocolate cupcake, one standard sized Vanilla Buttercream cupcake, and a mini Banana Split cupcake (single bite sized). The flavors were non-descript. The names and descriptions were fancy, but they tasted like normal vanilla and chocolate. I didn't taste any banana or Guinness. And they were expensive. $9 for 2 and a quarter cupcakes. Yikes. The banana split one was also dry. Won't be back. If the cupcakes were $1-$2.50, I might. read more

We couldn't have had a better experience with Let Them Eat Cake--we absolutely loved our wedding cake in October 2023! Alyssa is such a kind soul and took the time to listen to our vision. She definitely made our dream a reality and was even able to make our cakes gluten free! I highly recommend the little miss sunshine flavor. Plus, we had so much fun doing the wedding cake tasting here. read more

Very friendly and responsive staff, which I always love. Walked in on a whim with friends and had to buy several things! Mini pumpkin pie- (not pictured) filling was a little loose but shockingly good, although the crust could use a little bit more pre-bake. Very impressed, especially considering majority of the pumpkin pies you can buy are barely mediocre flavorless things. Ferrero-Roche cupcake- gorgeous looking with the gold dust, the cake itself was over cooked enough that I just ate the chocolate mouse filling and the insanely excellently decadent ganache Snickerdoodle- standard doodle, would've liked it a little softer but I'm also unsure when it was baked Oatmeal chocolate chip- not bad, but I probably wouldn't order again. Some other cupcake pictured as well that my boyfriend bought - under the sea? Can't remember name. Regular chocolate chip cookie (not pictured), thick cookie but more on the chewy than soft/gooey side that I prefer. Overall, the goods seem to have an over baked theme going, with the exception of mini pie which probably could've used another minute in oven. Flavor is good and people are very nice, I'll definitely go again and stop in for a latte or something. read more

I've been a customer for many, many years. I started visiting the bakery as a student looking for a quiet place to study and then as a new teacher looking for a peaceful place to grade. Now, Alyssa is my go-to baker for any special-occasion cake. She is extremely professional, organized, hardworking, and creative. A true artist, I think Alyssa works best when you aren't too specific with what you want, which allows her creative freedom. When I put in a cake order I usually tell her something general like "Fantasyland vibes for a gal on her 30th" or "Haunted Mansion. Whatever inspires you" and she's able to create something beyond my imagining. Did I mention her cakes are really delicious? Alyssa has been especially wonderful during quarantine. Since I couldn't be with my friends in person on their birthdays, Alyssa crafted and delivered cakes in my stead to Davis, Natomas, and Woodland. In addition, I recently planned a small, socially-distant baby shower and she and her helper came geared up in masks and gloves to set up the entire dessert table! I didn't have to stress getting the event together knowing that Alyssa would be handling all the treats, and she delivered in so many ways! Alyssa is easy to work with; fair with her pricing; socially-responsible; and overall an asset to our community. Please don't hesitate to contact Let Them Eat Cake for your next celebration, or just because. read more

Loved getting cupcakes for birthdays from here when I lived in Davis. They have so many unique flavors but not all are offered year round. I really liked the dubliner and blueberry cheesecake cupcakes. Only caveat is their cupcakes are on the pricier end but I def enjoyed getting them once in a while and I liked supporting this local Davis bakery! read more

Let them eat cake is delicious! I randomly stopped in here one day and got cupcakes during the Davis Farmer's Market. I saw that Yelp had a coupon for 1 free cupcake if you buy 5, so out I walked with 6 cupcakes! My then- fiancé and I were drooling over how delicious they were. Literally ate 2 in our car parked outside. We decided that we were interested in having Let them eat cake make our wedding cake and desserts. Fast forward a year later and Alyssa created the most beautiful Lemony Snickett semi-naked cake and desserts like we wanted! We heard nothing but good things from our guests and I'll never forget the moment we cut our cake. My taste buds brought me right back to year ago when we ate cupcakes outside of the shop. Thank you soooo much! read more

Absolutely love this place! My favorite cupcake of all time is the chai spice. I recently ordered a dozen to bring home to northern CA to share with my staff, and they were a hit! The fact that they have a variety of vegan options is so wonderful. I love that they offer a variety of flavors each day/week. The shop is cute and clean, just like a cozy little coffee shop. There isn't much seating, but I'm usually grabbing to-go, so never an issue for me. Been visiting here for over a decade now, so glad to see them continue to succeed! read more

I stopped in on my way to celebrate my friend's birthday. I didn't know it was tucked in fraternity row. I enjoyed the ambience of the shop. You could look across and see a farmer's market. I did think there might be cakes and cupcakes but there were only cupcakes. Maybe I arrived to late in the day. Overall the bakery case was somewhat full. The cupcakes were pretty tasty. Downside the frosting was a tad sweet on a couple. I'd go back. read more

Let Them Eat Cake might be my favorite store in Davis! As a big fan of dessert, I'm always looking to find my new favorite pastry or sweet. After finding out about Let Them Eat Cake, I'm not sure I can find anything better. Right next to Central Park, Let Them Eat Cake has a very simple, unsuspecting exterior. But, upon walking in you're greeted by a beautifully decorated interior and very kind employees. The cupcakes themselves are probably the best cupcakes I've ever had. Of their staple cupcakes, I'm a huge fan of the Down By The Sea and Illegally Blonde. The cupcakes are moist and flavorful. The vegan cupcakes are indiscernible from the traditional ones, meaning they're just as good. Additionally, their vegan cupcakes are made with soy, so if you have a tree nut allergy this place is still allergen-friendly (but be careful of cross contamination). For me, the biggest appeal is their weekly flavors. They have a huge list of cupcake flavors on their website and each week they put out five different flavors (along with the staples: Vanilla, Chocolate, Red Velvet, and Caramel). It's so fun being able to walk in every week and try their new flavors, knowing that each one is going to be so tasty. Overall, Let Them Eat Cake might just be my favorite place in Davis. If you're ever walking downtown or you're even remotely close to the Davis area, I highly recommend visiting! read more

An amazing place to go and get a quick sweet snack. Me and my friends stop by all the time and the workers are so nice and friendly. They joke around with us all time and always put up with my silly questions. We mostly like the macarons the cupcakes seem a little strong at times but they are still really good. And Though I have never bought a cake from them I was there for star wars day and each one looked amazing. One of the owners even came out and had a lightsaber duel with me. If you've never been to Let Them Eat Cake you need to go at least once, It's quite the experience read more

The food is always fresh, I'm a creature of habit so normally a chocolate cookie does the job. ( Delish by the way!) The other day I was feeling adventurous and tried their Reese's chocolate cookie and it blew my mind!!! Be warned, they only make two of those babies a day. If you are lucky to find any, consider yourself a satisfied customer!!!,. Service wise, the ladies are always helpful with a smile on their face! We need more places like this! ^_^ The ambiance is like a chill coffee shop that you can sit down and enjoy your sweets with no one bothering you. I owed you the picture of the cookie because it disappears too quick!! read more

Pretty good. Some of the cookies and some of the cupcakes are good. You have to go early in the day, by the end of the day most of the good stuff is gone. Cupcake flavors vary. The lady was helpful. It's really nice inside. read more

P A R K I N G plenty of parking available -- 5/5 S E R V I C E came in with yogurt from next door and kind of felt like the worker was looking a bit at us for it but just decided not to say anything but it made me feel a little awkward initially -- 3/5 F O O D got the earl grey & marshmallow macarons and the irish bailey's mini cupcake. the early grey macaron was delicious but the marshmallow just tasted like sugar to me. the irish cupcake was a little basic but alright. -- 4/5 O V E R A L L mostly for the pictures but the prices are alright! one thing i do like is that you can try different flavors of cupcakes (if you so desire) as they have the minis read more

I found this establishment by searching "gluten free" on yelp. I drove over, expecting to see one or maybe two dry, old treats like other bakeries that have gluten free "options". I was in for a massively pleasant surprise. I only saw gluten free macaroons in the case, so I asked about cupcakes. The person who was waiting on me started listing off about 10 different flavors to choose from. I was shocked. I had her flip the menu around to read it and chose 3. They keep them in the freezer, and she made sure they were packaged separately for me and away from the other treats I got for my family that do not have allergies. The woman that served me was incredibly pleasant and informative. There are so many intricate flavors, ranging from spiced eggnog, a stout chocolate, and some type of frosted cranberry. It was very hard to choose. In the end I got three GF cupcakes for myself, three regular cupcakes for my family, and a big cookie. There was a separate fridge that had big slices of cake, cheesecake, and other treats. Many options were vegan. They offer ready made cakes, which were absolutely GORGEOUS and very nicely priced for what they are offering. You can also order a custom cake in advance. There were also ready to go boxes of gingerbread or sugar cookie house kits, that included the cookie parts, icing, and little sprinkles to decorate. Overall, I would reccomend this place to anyone, whether you have a dietary restriction (vegan, gluten free) or don't and just love cake and treats! Bonus points: This place is extremely "instaworthy". You could take very cute photos here with your friends. That, or just sit back and enjoy the adorable decor while you much on a treat and sip a specialty drink made in house. 10/10. read more

I cannot believe I've lived here 8 years and only learnt about this place in the last year. Every time I have meal at Guads we always walk over for dessert. It's right next to Davis Central Park, it's a cute little boutique look shop . The girls that work there are super nice and always answer every questions we had. I Love that they have mini and regular size cupcake, cookies, and cheesecake and cake toppers. I Love the cake toppers cause it's left over piece of a cake they made but they don't waste anything and add icing to make it a snack, it's perfect imho. Every time I've been there, it's always different flavours for the cheese cake and the cake toppers, I rarely ever see repeats and it's always fun combos. They also have vegan and gluten free options as well. The prices are reasonable here definitely check them out and give 'em a try you'll never know what you'll find or fall in Love with. read more

Delicious cupcakes and cakes! They have an amazing horchata cupcake everyone needs to try. I've also had their cookies which are tasty! I bought a flash sale cake that was the perfect color for my sons super Mario birthday theme. I added a few decorations and it was perfect! I liked that it had a thin layer of buttercream so it wasn't overwhelming with sugar. They have a regular set of cupcake flavors and change out some more unique flavors that let you try something new. Must try - horchata cupcakes, Lemony Snicket cupcake, ... all the cupcakes!! read more

Cozy little place. My wife and I stopped by and hung out here with coffee and cupcakes.

Great vegan cupcakes! (4/5 green stars also) On a Saturday afternoon there were no customers inside - perhaps they were all burned out after the farmers' market. My feeling is that it's a nice space and should have more custom - I know it's summer break at UCD, but Temple Coffee was busy when I passed by. Here's my unsolicited advice to LTEC: Perhaps what you need is some really good coffee to go with your cakes - good beans and a proper coffee counter. Also, put on some music - it's too quiet. I bought their vegan S'mores cupcake to go ($3.25). It turned out to be very good. Good texture, fresh, and with a decadent topping (which is what a cupcake is all about). I don't normally go for very sweet cakes, and although the topping was sweet I found it to be nicely balanced. Baked fresh, no preservatives, gluten-free also available (and gluten-free + vegan together). Recommended. I'm also giving Let Them Eat Cake 4/5 "green stars" for social and environmental impact, based on these reasons: * They have vegan offerings that are well-made. * The chap was going to pack my cupcake into a plastic clamshell until I said I'd just take it as-is. I know that it's fairly common to pack cupcakes like this but it would be nice if they had a simple cardboard box instead. * They can make organic cupcakes upon request. * Can also use cage-free eggs upon request. I'll stick with their vegan cupcakes. * Partake in fund-raising activities in the community. Ever written a green star review? Please contact me if you have done so, or if you'd like to know more! read more

I'm going to have to check this place out in person because based on the quality of the baked goods I've had at several events around town they make delicious and beautiful cookies and cupcakes. Most recently I was at a Yelp event and Let Them Eat Cake provided shortbread cookies with the Yelp logo printed on the frosting. The cookie was excellent. In the past I've enjoyed a large selection of their mini-cupcakes flavors. Perfect for special events or just for a sweet snack, Let Them Eat Cake will be my go-to place in the future. read more

I used to live in Davis and loved visiting this bakery for their delicious cupcakes and cookies. When we were looking for a bakery for our wedding cake, we noticed that most bakeries didn't have a lot of flavor options like Let Them Eat Cake does. I was so excited that this bakery was in range of our wedding venue. I communicated with Alyssa via email and discussed what we were looking for in our wedding cake. My husband and I then met with Alyssa for our cake tasting and to review the design with her. Alyssa really understood our vision for the cake and was excited by our theme and inspiration. When my husband and I saw our wedding cake on our wedding day we were blown away. The cake was a piece of art and honestly the most beautiful wedding cake I've ever seen! Alyssa absolutely nailed it and I couldn't have been happier with the outcome. The cake was delicious as well and all our guests commented on how much they loved the cake. We definitely weren't disappointed that we had some leftovers after the wedding and can't wait for our first anniversary to finish the rest! read more

During this time, I have been there less and it is closed more, too. However I am glad about their bogo closing hour (1pm Sunday ) and the specialty boxes are cool. Hope they continue the monthly box, although it is a bit much for me as 1 person--it needs to be refrigerated if not eaten within a week or 2. I got it one month and a few things went bad :( read more

I found out about this place through Groupon(Yay, love them). They were featuring 6 for $8 deal on their cupcakes, so I bought it right away b/c that's a pretty sweeet deal! I lalalove cupcakes!!! :DD I walked here with a couple of friends(after we ate at a sushi buffet nearby, lol), when we saw the bakery, we thought it was a house! The place was pretty cute, inside and out. When we walked up to the counter, we complimented the lady working behind the counter how nice the place was and she gave us a weird look like "OoOkay". So yeah, service was kinda "ehhh". We ordered a couple of Banana's are good, a Cookie monster, an Apple hill, and a pink cupcake(forgot the name). The banana cupcake had a filling inside and it tasted quite good, the apple hill one was okay, and the pink cupcake was okay, too. I didn't taste the cookie monster(my friend ate that one). Overall the cupcakes were good, but not great, they're an average size. I wouldn't pay full price for one(only if the flavor sounds really interesting). Service was questionable; the lady helping us didn't seem friendly or really attentive(if you work at a bakery, aren't you supposed to be a good mood?). Would I come here again? Mmmaaybe...if I'm in the area and I have money to spend or if there's another Groupon deal. This place is worth checking out tho... read more
