I also asked for her to add strawberry filling (since it was a girl) into the cupcakes so that when we bite into it we could all find out the gender together. As you can see, Chay did a beautiful job decorating the cupcakes. The colored swirls she added was a nice touch. I wish the inner colored filling was a bit larger for impact, but overall they were still beautiful and tasted amazing. She used quality ingredients and I could tell right away. I would definitely work with Chay again if I need to bring cupcakes to a party!

Stopped by Merengue Bakery & Cafe in old town Monrovia to pick up some pastries for tonight's wine…read morepairing dinner at home. Super excited because the mini fruit tarts are going to look amazing on my newly purchased dessert tray! I was feeling a bit sleepy so I decided to fuel up & eat breakfast while I was there. I ordered a Vanilla Latte & a side order of 3 eggs + Sausage Links. If you're a big eater and want the additional potatoes and pancakes, I recommend paying a few dollars more and ordering the Breakfast platter. The Vanilla Latte came in a paper cup (a bit bummed out by not being able to take a more IG worthy picture of that), but it actually tasted really good! Same with the sausage links - it was probably one of the best tasting ones I've had for breakfast in a while. Aside from their wide selection of pastries and food options, their customer service was phenomenal. Every customer that walked through the door was greeted upon arrival and thanked on their way out. The restaurant was very clean and the cakes looked so beautiful behind the glass case. I had a pleasant experience today at Merengue Bakery & Cafe and can't wait to come back soon to try a slice of their chocolate cake!

Street parking can be tough during peak hours, but there are public lots nearby.  For the past 12 years, this has been our go-to spot, and their Guava Cake is the ultimate family favorite! This past Mother's Day, Mom wanted that exact cake. We stopped by in the morning to pick one up as usual. However, the lady at the counter informed us they would not have any ready until 2 PM and was quite dismissive and short with us. I was next in line, it was now the second person at the counter helping me, ( male ) once he knew I was looking for a guava cake, he immediately went to the back going out of his way to check and ensure we took a fresh guava cake home right then and there. He saved Mother's Day !!! I must also mention Danny and Lissette are amazing every time we order cakes for family events. It's always a great experience, and we'll definitely keep coming back for their goodies.

They also have outdoor seating too, the street parking is not too bad and we visited on a Sunday. Will come back to try their pastries next time. Highly recommended if you are a Monrovian and has not tried this place yet.

She had informed me ahead of time that some flowers are seasonal but she will try her best to recreate the same one. For those who are not too familiar with different types of flowers or have a specific preference, you can provide her with a color scheme you like and she'll work with it. The cake turned out exactly like the picture I showed her. From the color of the flowers to the rose petals that were​ coming down the side of the cake, everything was just the way I wanted it. All of the ingredients used are fresh and made from scratch so none of that boxed cake mix. The cake not only looked great but also tasted amazing. We got so many compliments on it while we were cutting it at the restaurant. Thank you, FinaLee floral cakes!

I am typically very picky about cupcakes and it was a very bummed out that sprinkles closed. I have tasted other cupcakes in the past and dots cupcakes actually hits the spot. They have a daily rotation of special selections as well as a standard flavor selection. I tried it out the Velvet, tiramisu, and coconut cupcakes. They are actually really good, and the quality and ratio between the frosting and cupcake itself was on point. The pricing is fair, considering the quality of the cupcakes. I called them on the phone ahead of time to verify inventory and the service was actually really good. The store is separated by two different lines one for the café and the other for the cupcakes. Make sure you line up in the right line for the best service. I will definitely return.

It is amazing how much variety they offer at this small shop, including but not limited to cakes, breads, bubble tea, and other desserts. I like to stop by for a drink when I am nearby.

Brown sugar boba is the perfect topping to go with this drink.
