BabyCakes Baking Co.

Yummy and unique cupcakes, helpful suggestions, a friendly staff and attentive customer service....THIS IS BABYCAKES BAKING COMPANY IN TORRANCE!! We didn't want a traditional wedding cake, and decided early on to serve cupcakes and milkshakes at our reception instead, so the search for the perfect cupcake began.

We had such great vendors when planning our wedding, vendors that we were lucky to work with and lucky to have been given recommendations for, and BabyCakes in Torrance was no exception. Khryste Langlais, the owner and head baker (cupcake queen extraordinaire) was fantastic from the first day we walked in to "test" the cupcakes.

As you may imagine, the tasting and testing of various cupcakes around town was one of the most grueling parts of planning our wedding...it was rough, but it had to be done! We tried many varieties all over Los Angeles -- from the well-known giants to the local grocer, and everything in-between -- but once we tried Khryste's creations we knew we'd found the place. Her cupcakes are anything but standard. The cake is heavier, almost "substantial" in a way that I can't quite describe. Basically, the cupcakes we chose for our wedding weren't light and fluffy, our guests weren't going to go hungry...these were CUPCAKES!

The varieties offered in the shop at any given day are varied and unique, so it took quite a few visits to sample and decide on the flavors for our reception. Ultimately we decided on four flavors: Vanilla Bean (a classic at BabyCakes), a ginger spice cake with Mango frosting (so yummy), chocolate with a candy baked in and topped with a peanut butter mousse frosting (to die for), and chocolate with raspberry and whipped frosting (so good!). The cupcakes served at our reception are still much-talked about even today, two months later....safe to say that they were a hit!

Khryste oversaw everything personally, and she went above and beyond to help us find the perfect toppers for each of our selected cupcake flavors. We topped 1/2 of them with a chocolate-molded "D", our initial, and the other 1/2 with a hard-to-find candy flower topper, which she worked to be able to find for us. The delivery and setup at the reception was flawless, and the display of the cupcakes on a variety of vintage cake stands was exactly the look I was hoping for. Everything looked truly beautiful, and that is because of the care and dedication of Khryste and her team at BabyCakes Baking Co. And did I mention that these cupcakes are GOOD!
