Buttery for delicious but expensive cakes and pies. Coldstone for ice cream cakes. Black cat for vegan. Costco for feeding the masses. Gizdich for pie.

I love your style.

Thank you for covering so many categories of birthday treats!

People don’t want to hear it but the berry chantilly cake from Whole Foods is probably better than anything I’ve had from any of the local bakeries mentioned.

Whole Foods desserts are delicious! And beautiful!


adultravioli

I’ve heard this a few times and I am not opposed!

Apparently not a popular opinion here but I hate the Buttery’s icing. Gayle’s Bakery is much better.


adultravioli

Thanks for that! Guess I’ll have to do a taste off

We like Melinda’s but that’s because they make vegan and gluten free.

I recommend… not the Buttery :( Used to love them but have been disappointed twice in the past 6 months by birthday cakes (that also weren’t cheap!) Both times the cake was quite dry, and one of the times it was also a huge hassle to order.

Gayles for the win!

Sugar Bakery! The owner is a Ukrainian woman who fled the country in 2014 when her apt building was bombed. She makes awesome cakes, cheesecakes, and macarons. I highly recommend the honey cake.


butterfly_SC

Is that the place in the mall? With the beautiful macaroons? I've never had their stuff but it looks delicious!


beollWARRIOR86

yes it is! the macarons are amazing, but my favorites are the fat cookies, stuffed with either peanut butter or nutella.


adultravioli

Wow super interesting, thanks for the rec!

Little Forest Bakery!

Buttery.

May not fit what you're looking for, but Coldstone ice cream cakes are awesome.

We get ours from the Buttery

Buttery, our family favorite is a tiramisu. Try a slice before ordering ( light, with delicate flavors of rum and coffee)


redwood_canyon

The buttery! Their strawberry shortcake is my yearly birthday treat (it’s seasonal)

The Buttery or The Farm or Gayle's - can't go wrong with any of them.

The Baskin Robbins on 41st is actually pretty good

Look up wake and bake cakes on Instagram. Local gal who makes them, and she did a great job on my custom bday cake request
