Pretty standard cupcakes and cookies. But they really shine with the pies. I ordered a pecan pie for Thanksgiving and it was delicious! They should make mini pies or something as an alternative to cupcakes, because I'd be all over that. read more

Really cute cake shop on Lake. I was about to go down the street to another cake place until my friend suggested I try SusieCakes instead. It's a cute, clean, spacious shop with a retro color scheme with a great assortment of cakes and cupcakes. You can see the employees in the kitchen through a window working on the cakes. The cakes are simple and beautiful, though a little on the dry side. My daughter was happy to have it for a birthday cake. Will come back again! read more

What a great addition to the neighborhood! I prefer sliced cake to cupcakes for a the frosting:cake ratio. I have tried the Luscious Lemon Cake and the Red Velvet and both are great, though I'm partial to the lemon. Service is lovely, shop is clean and well organized. read more

Sometimes you just need a weighty, well-constructed, sugary, buttery, delicious treat. A fat slice of "celebration" (funfetti style) layer cake hits a spot that no other dessert can, and eating it really does feel like a celebration, even if you're just celebrating your freedom to enjoy life. read more

Excellent staff. Brianna was a huge help in finding just the right treat to celebrate with. Went above and beyond with helping us, and making sure we were well taken care of. After her recommendations, we left with more goodies than expected. She had great product knowledge, and added charisma towards the right items. The environment was clean, desserts tasted good, and we will be sure to come back soon. read more

Red velvet cake was just divine!!! Served it my daughters birthday party and it was finished.

Delicious cakes and cupcakes. Have not tried the cookies but the celebration cake and red velvet cupcakes are moist and not too sweet. A perfect fluffy texture that just melts in your mouth. read more

These were some amazing cupcakes! I loved the frosting! They were a tad drier than I like for cupcakes but still amazing! I are the strawberry cupcake! I bought these for a work event and everyone said they loved them! read more

We were highly impressed with our first Susie Cake a few years ago, however our excitement at the Pasadena store opening and the dozen cupcakes purchased for my nephew's birthday Sunday left us quite disappointed. We bought one of each available flavor (for a few flavors, two each), but apart from the strawberry lemonade and two chocolate variations, the other cupcakes were DRY! We love coconut flavored cakes, but this one tasted dried-out. Delicious frosting throughout, but the cakes themselves should be more moist. Too bad texture consistency was lacking in this purchase! read more

I'm honestly so glad Susie cakes came to Pasadena! They make one of my favorite chocolate cakes in the whole wide world and I'm not exaggerating. Every birthday I can almost guarantee one of my friends will buy me a chocolate cake from Susie cakes. I love that they keep it simple menu because then you're not so overwhelmed with 31 cupcake choices! read more

Beautiful and delicious cakes with excellent service. I ordered this online for my husband who requested this for his birthday cake last year! A New Year's Eve birthday. When I had a question I called the store, and they were so helpful. I was worried the sprinkles would be too much, but it was just the right amount. See picture. I love the red font, super cute and classic. The store itself is beautiful as well, I love the windows into the kitchen. I also noticed there is a free parking lot behind the store , so don't bother paying for parking in front. I think they prefer you to park in the back as well because it's safer, and they mentioned the parking enforcement is super strict in the area. I would definitely re-order from here! The online ordering process is very user friendly. read more

I've heard about this place so I finally decide to give it a try. This place was good like everyone said. They are known for their carrot cake and red velvet. Their price per cake is about $8 which is on the high side but it's a big slice with lots of ingredients. What u liked about it is that it's not too sweet. Their slices were so big it took me two days to finish it. read more

See all

I have been seeing more and more Susie cakes around and thought it was about time to give it a try. The cupcake flavors were extremely boring vanilla, coconut, chocolate, and strawberry. Even the whole cakes were just basic options (carrot cake, red velvet, chocolate, vanilla) Nothing unique and the cupcake was extremely sweet to me. It tastes exactly like a packaged cupcake I could buy from the average grocery store. I also tried a chocolate chip cookie and that was very disappointed. The cookies were completely deflated. Would consider coming again if I had a sweet tooth, but not my first choice. read more

Their carrot cake is probably the best I've had! and the staff are always helpful and friendly!

my mom and i were driving up to LA and wanted to stop initially at Dots Cupcakes but they were closed. So instead we searched cupcake spots in Pasadena and came across SusieCakes! For starters it is such a cute shop, exterior makes you want to come inside and when you do, you are met with the friendliness of the staff. The cupcakes looked delicious and were! Their vanilla is by far the best vanilla cupcakes my mother and I have tried and as bakers ourselves, i do not say this lightly. I am a red velvet lover and their cream cheese frosting was absolutely perfect! it was just right, not to sweet but sweet enough with the red velvet. If you stop in Pasadena, this is the cupcake shop to go to!! The cupcakes were so cute, they look like Magnolia cupcakes and were just as good! read more

I love this shop's design! White with light turquoise colour, so clean and make me just want so much red velvet cake...staff are so wonderful they gave us a birthday slice as it's my mum's birthday. Highly recommend their red velvet cupcake. read more

I tried a slice of carrot cake from here and it was the BEST effing carrot cake I've ever had in my life. It was moist, had all the right ingredients with delicious cream cheese frosting. It wasn't overly sweet and had a perfect ratio of nuts to frosting to cake. It was *miraculous*. read more

Everything about this bakery is great! It smells AMAZING when you walk in and the staff is super friendly. Bring back the Susie's Nutty forever, Susie! read more

The cakes and cupcakes are famous for a reason--real buttercream frosting and just old-fashioned yumminess. They have my son's fave cake, so we ordered the marble cake (swirls of chocolate in vanilla cake) with vanilla buttercream with chocolate chips between layers, and chocolate buttercream frosting. It's rich. It's moist. It's gooey even. And did I mention the chocolate chips? With this cake, a smaller slice will give you all the sugar-pow you may be craving without going for seconds--although we love having leftovers for breakfast. Doesn't everyone? I don't do Yelp reviews, but I had to come to Yelp to praise this location's fabulous (manager?) Laura, who helped me over the phone when my preorder from Door Dash was never actually placed. (So be careful out there. Not a bad idea to check that SusieCakes really receives your order!) Anyway, I was concerned to learn on the day of my son's birthday that SusieCakes did not have the order but Laura was amazing and helped to fix everything. We ended up cancelling the (non) order from Door Dash and instead ordered directly from the bakery. By this point, we decided to pick the cake up ourselves, although SusieCakes can have it delivered but that was a bit pricey. All in all, I found the staff (I spoke to Isabelle, too) was so great and really worked to get this cake ready for us. The cake was impressive and fresh and the service was next-level. And that would have been enough for a 5 star review. But here comes the rave part: Laura included a personal note thanking me for my patience (hey, it wasn't Susie's fault in the first place) and wishing my son a happy birthday. And she gifted us with 4 cupcakes. What a lovely ending to our cake adventure. read more

Wonderful cupcakes with buttercream frosting. Mouth watering, delicious. Couldn't wait to take a bite.

So delicious and great customer service! I have come here on multiple occasions and finally wrote a review. One of the best if not thee best bakery in town! Honestly you can't go wrong with either a full cake or even cupcakes. Moist, just sweet enough but not too sweet, and just straight up satisfying. read more

Such a delicious and beautiful cake. Vanilla cake with fresh strawberries and cream. Seasonal only. Glad we got it before availability ended! Everyone from age 2 to 74 said it was the best cake ever! Yummy! read more

The lemon cake was delicious. I just wish they had a cupcake holder so they won't shift around get banged up while carrying out. Other than that, staff was friendly and I'll definitely come back and try other cupcake/cake flavors! read more

My friends and family enjoyed these cupcakes so much. You ladies also went above and beyond with your customer service. I can't wait to order from here in the near future. -Yesi. read more

Isobel was incredible. She was so patient with me while I picked out cakes for fathers day and even helped me get a "Happy Fathers Day" inscription on the cake to make it extra special. She personally took a look at the inscription after and was just so polite. Honestly, I'd come back here just for the customer service from Isobel! read more

We were so excited to have another cupcake store in Pasadena that we went in with the hopes of ordering 24 birthday CC. Thank goodness we did a cupcake tasting before ordering. We bought 5 cupcakes (chocolate/chocolate, vanilla/ vanilla, chocolate/coconut, lemon/lemon, and chocolate/vanilla) each cupcake was either DRY, STALE, or DRY AND STALE. We ended up throwing away what we couldn't eat. read more

Always love getting cake from here! The workers were really nice, giving me a free cupcake and napkins. Every Susie's Cakes bakery is always an aesthetic visual, and this location is no exception. read more

It pains me to write this review but I must say I was very disappointed in my 45th birthday lemon cake. I had this exact cake some time ago for another friend's birthday (purchased from a different location) and had been eagerly hoping lemon would be in season for March 7. I ordered the cake and we ate it that night but it was dried out. We threw 3/4 of the cake in the trash. I messaged Susie Cakes about the quality and they acknowledged the feedback and offered to share it with their team. Maybe this was a one off? It's possible but I will return to ordering cakes from Butter on Hillhurst. read more

Disappointing. Only five types of cupcakes today and two of the types are $.50 more than their already high price of $4.75. The staff is very pleasant, and the cupcakes are good, but the selection is very limited, and the price is too high in my opinion for plain undecorated flattop cupcakes. read more

I was largely disappointed with my experience here. I came into it thinking this was one of the top bakeries in LA. I ordered a 6" round chocolate cake for a birthday. The cake was $55.00. The size to price ratio is very high. They made me schedule a pickup time for the cake because they say they are extremely busy and there will be a line out the door. When I arrived, there were no customers in the store. I justified the price to myself by thinking the cake was going to excellent. It was not. It wasn't bad in any way but it was similar in quality to what you could buy at a normal grocery store for less than $20.00. I can't see myself returning here again. The staff was friendly and the bakery was clean. read more

I adore SusieCakes and I was so excited to find out that they now have a location in Pasadena. In terms of the baked goods they have to offer, it's always wonderful and sweet. I do have to give only two stars because the service is not always as strong as other locations. I usually go to the one in La Brea. On one specific occasion, last Saturday, I went in and placed my order: one box of four cupcakes, one cupcake and one cookie. I repeated it three times and the cashier was not understanding it. I thought she understood a third time, but she still gave me the wrong order. I thought it was me because I had a mask on so maybe it was muffled. Someone next to me understood my order and so we were surprised it was incorrect. I ended up taking home the four cupcakes but I received a cupcake I didn't ask for, in place of the cookie. Also, she didn't understand I was okay with paying cashless. She kept telling my mother it was cashless even though I was at the one placing the order and my card was ready. I'm a little disappointed because I was really craving that cookie but by all means, everything else was good. I just didn't appreciate the service on this day. It seemed like everyone was working hard behind the cashier. I don't remember her name but she was the only one not wearing a mask. read more

Omg their strawberry frosting is to die for!! It's so amazing and tastes just like blended strawberries. It is the perfect amount of sweet. I'm obsessed. read more

So I think I found my go-to bakery. I just stopped by here today and the two young women who were working were so lovely and helpful, I had to leave a review. I was looking for a cake for my housekeeper who's retiring and went with the chocolate based on their recommendation. I also bought a red velvet cupcake and a chocolate cupcake for myself and the girl behind the cash register threw in a free coconut cupcake and strawberry lemonade cupcake (I was ogling those too but couldn't decide lol). I devoured all four cupcakes when I got home. I have to say, red velvet, chocolate and strawberry lemonade flavors were my favorites... so so delicious! Perfectly sweet, perfect frosting to cake ratio, the frosting was outstanding and the cake was moist. What else can you ask for? I think one of the girls told me that the strawberry lemonade flavor was a seasonal flavor and that this was the last day for it? Please please make it a permanent flavor! And give those girls a raise :) I didn't ask for their names unfortunately... read more

The slice of cake was not worth the the $8. The bread was hard and the frosting was too sweet & hard. My entire family didn't care for it.

SusieCakes was kind enough to donate cakes to Hamilton Elementary School. They were delicious! I had a slice of the lemon cake, and it was the best lemon cake I have ever had. I look forward to trying more of their cakes in the future. read more
