When Jessica asked the community for a new spot to grab a chocolate birthday cake for her daughter (after years of turning to SusieCakes), you all showed up with sweet suggestions. Whether you’re planning a party or just want a slice of something decadent, here’s your crowd-sourced list of bakery favorites around town:
Top Tier Treats – Pico Blvd

Multiple people raved about this one! Known for cakes that taste homemade in the best way, Top Tier Treats has serious chocolate cake fans. Fun fact: it’s run by Jamaica, who formerly owned Jamaica’s Cakes!
Pro tip: Tell her Danielle sent you 😉
Venice Bakery – Venice Blvd

Order via text? Yes please. Edith keeps it simple and sweet. Her cakes are moist, never dry, and she’s quick to respond.
📱 Edith: (310) 879-9311
Angel Maid Bakery – Westside classic
Light, fluffy, and a total fan favorite. One mom said it’s “100x better than SusieCakes”—so if you’re ready to upgrade, this one’s for you.
Sinners & Saints Desserts – Lincoln Blvd

Decadent treats and serious dessert cred—run by the same folks behind 401K Wine Bar next door. Fans love it for over-the-top indulgence. Also great for gluten free + vegan options!
Baked on Rose – A quieter gem

No one dropped many details here, but it got a shoutout from Andrea as a local spot worth checking out.
Cakes by Michaela – Home-based

Looking for something custom or gluten-free? Michaela is a one-woman powerhouse baking out of her home. She's got a great rep and a gorgeous Instagram: @cakesby_michaela
