La Patisserie has been my family's go-to bakery for special occasions and everyday treats for…read moreyears. Their burnt almond cake runs through our veins and is truly a family favorite. When we've brought it to social gatherings in the past, it's also always a hit. Their other desserts, like their lemon bars, french napoleon, and turtle cheesecake, are also major hits. So when it was time for my wedding, I knew I had to get my cake from them! It was a wonderful experience from start to finish. They offer cake tasting boxes that include their most popular flavors. However, we had a specific taste profile in mind and asked if they could custom make the samples for us - they said yes without hesitation and didn't charge us extra! The samples were delicious and the pickup process was easy. We went with a ribbon cake (chocolate and vanilla) with fresh strawberries, whipped cream filling, and vanilla buttercream frosting. I also had a very specific vision for my wedding cake - I wanted a detailed three-tier cake with buttercream vintage flowers. We also ordered a plain sheet cake with the same flavors to ensure that we had enough slices for our guests. I worked with Fariba during the ordering process and they were great. I am truly still SHOCKED at how beautiful the cake was and how it matched the inspo photo perfectly. It was a showstopper and extremely delicious. See the photo for details! We got the cake topper from etsy :)

This was my first visit, and I picked up a choux pastry and a full size round cake…read more The choux pastry was surprisingly good. It was covered in chocolate and filled with custard, and it was just the right sweetness and not too sweet. The size was pleasing, and the custard filling was good. The cake was not enjoyable; to be fair, this might or might not be due to personal taste. It was a 3-layer vanilla cake filled with lemon mousse, covered in buttercream and white chocolate bark pieces, and topped with 10 blueberries. This flavor can be found on their website catalog. I don't know if this is typical for this bakery, but the cake was heavy, claggy on the bottom, and way too sweet. The lemon mousse tasted incredibly strange, as if it were artificial or maybe had some kind of herb or weird flavoring added. The less said about the cream, the better. The white chocolate was quite good though. I saw they had a wide variety of cake offerings, but I don't think I'd want cake from here again. I might get the choux pastry again.

Upon entering, I was really impressed with how clean and nice the decor was. The tables and chairs were really upscaled and I felt like I was visiting a fancy french style cafe. There was even a small quiet room for those who needed to do some computer work and outdoor seating. The staff was really great and knowledgeable about all the products. The display case showed all of the pastries they had available. I went to the counter and ordered a little of everything, just so that I could get a good feel for it. The only table service is they bring the order to you. I had an Apple Turnover, Ube Sesame Tart, Lemon tart, and a Mini Almond Croissant. These were house made and really fresh and excellent. They serve various coffee and espressos, If you are looking for a nice relaxing cafe with great pastries-Marvel is the way to go!

It looked so pretty and we had high hopes. We took the option of adding on a fondant banner for $5 in the store and settled on berry and vanilla. Whoever was helping us was really not much help at all. I guess at least she was honest, but she didn't know what any of the cakes tasted like and if it was buttercream or whipped cream. The cake itself was dry and hard and the texture was oh so wrong. I don't know if it was old, frozen for too long, or some odd ingredients? But for $65 for a small 6", it was very disappointing. We also got the small bisou and a small napoleon. Better than the cake, but still just ok.

Also, she was so accommodating by making this cake on a Thursday when her availability is strictly weekends. However, if I knew that asking for an accommodation would mean my needs wouldn't have been met I would have looked elsewhere. I ordered a 7 inch buttercream cake but instead received fondant which went uneaten. I went back to review the invoice she sent and I realized there was a portion that said fondant but it also said buttercream so I just ignored it because I had no problems with the previous cakes I had received. This cake was for my friends son so I was so sad when they complained about the toughness of the fondant. I should have contacted her prior to make sure it would be buttercream but I believe she also could have let me know she would have been diverging from what I requested. Especially because $220 isnt cheap :(. The inside of the cake was great!

Unfortunately, the cake I received was much smaller than expected.

The cake itself lacked many details of the reference cake and it was also delivered late, making me believe that she spent extra time on final touches.

I am not a huge fan of red velvet usually (too sweet), but my husband really loves it so that's the flavor we picked. When we cut into the cake, everyone wanted a second piece. It wasn't overly sweet and paired perfectly with the cream cheese inside. I wish that I was able to get a 2nd piece, my husband didn't even get a piece since everyone ate theirs so quickly!

Emily got back to me the next day to tell me the pick up time frame and location beforehand. When I agreed to that, I was able to order online. You order 3 days before hand and the pickup time was only Friday to Sunday. I hope with their store opening in early Sept, customers can buy cakes and other products with more flexibility. My primary interest was to try their brie Basque cheesecake. It was a hit at our party! The inside was so soft, like gooey cheese about to ooze out; there's a slight hint of saltiness from the brie, but the cake itself was rich, soft as silk and delish. For our party of 10, I ordered a 6" and there was plenty left. The flavor was super rich, so I would probably be a bit constrained when calculating portions. I didn't do the pick up and my friend did. She said there were no actual products on display on the shelves; there were only pictures. You pointed to the picture, and the staff would go to the back kitchen and bring you the actual item.

Both the strawberries and the cake truly shined and the cake had just the right amount of sweetness, while the taste and aroma of the strawberries enhanced the overall richness of the cake. I doubt it would have worked nearly as well if the strawberries had been too tart or the cake overly sweet. Plus, it was so incredibly soft that even after a full dinner it went down effortlessly; it was practically addictive!

This review is specifically about the Bûche De Noël (Yule Log) cake.

This one is more traditional with chocolate flavored sponge case and very light cream between the rolled cake layers. In terms of presentation, the cake is top level, and quality and taste match the presentation beautifully. I look forward to trying other offerings in the near future. Right now Le Cake is just an online order operation with random pickup location (no storefront). I picked up the cake in a church parking lot in Saratoga. The lady who makes and delivers is very nice, and you can tell she is passionate about her creations. It will be no surprise to me when she opens a brick and mortar store very soon. In the meantime, I will certainly keep ordering online and picking up in the church parking lot.

The space feels super cozy and service was friendly. They even mentioned their Burnt Almond Cake has always been their bestseller. First bite tasted heavenly. This had more stronger almond and Italian rum flavor and I was pleasantly surprised by the sugared almond slivers coating. The custard was absolutely generous, creamy, and divine. I'd say Peter's Bakery is more traditional, but more fluffier while Sugar Butter Flour has a more modern twist and is slightly sweeter. Their version definitely has more custard, which I personally enjoy... but this may be too sweet for the older Asian parents family. I'd love to come back to try their cookies and other pastries next time. Their Burnt Almond Cake is to die for and would love to buy another one when I'm in the area. I want this to be my upcoming birthday cake!

Look at the picture. The dome of the cake was never leveled and no attempt made to level the layers with custard so I'm paying for a cake that I could've made with premade cake mix and 5% custard? We called in and the worker confirmed there are supposed to be two layers of custard in the Burnt Almond and advised me to email the owner so they could make it right. Look at the next photo. How do you as an owner - instead of simply admitting this was a rushed, dry, and unleveled cake - tell me in one message that the recipe changed because other customers had been complaining about too much custard but that you would be returning back to the original recipe? What am I, 5 years old? Just own up and say someone messed up and you'll keep the quality of your products up - but I guess that's hard to do when you ignore your long timecustomers and already got $70 for a cake that's 95% bread. I mentioned to the owner that their worker stated there would be some closure/resolve to which the owner just stopped responding. Guess when you can't be honest with your customers you...ignore them?
