Reviews for Cathy's Bakery
Of all the Chinese bakeries I tried, this one actually had an English speaker. BTW, do not go to Kee Wah...probably the worst bakery I have ever gone to. Anyway, Mary is so darling, but it was still difficult to communicate with her fully. I would normally have preferred a Japanese bakery however, this one is a fraction of the price. The cake is $340 for 120 people and since the wedding is close by there is no delivery fee.
After the wedding people told me they had two pieces of cake because it was that good. I only had a few bites, but it was DELICIOUS!
communication- B
taste- A+
Great prices and tastes yummy too. A Chinese bakery. The girl said she will copy any cake picture you give her and if she can do it she will not charge extra for it. I worked with Mary and They were only about $280 for a 4 tiered cake for about 150 people.
My parents mainly dealt with the cake order. They charged extra because it was delivered to our wedding reception, which was far away from their store. It went smoothly-- showed up on time without any language barrier issues. They did not have many flavor selections and there designs were less ornate, but I'm not really into wedding cakes. I had white cake with fresh strawberries. The cake was simple and elegant and it tasted fresh and not too heavy. It complimented the dessert buffet. For the cost and overall experience, they were great.
Yummy cake, very reasonable prices. Delivery was late but I think that was actually my reception site's fault and not the bakery... it was delivered to site but got lost somewhere and didn't make it to the actual banquet room... but everything worked out. The cake itself was smaller than I thought, but tasted great - light, fluffy and fresh and just the right amount of sweetness. Would recommend.
We ordered a 3 tier buttercreme cake with 3 different flavors. I brought a picture of the cake design I liked, and they made it just as I expected. It was delicious and beautiful. The buttercreme was smooth unlike other wedding cakes that appears 'holey'. We were required to paid a $50 deposit for the cake stand and $35 for delivery to Pasadena. I didnt return the cake stand till 2 months later, the bakery didnt seem to have an issue with that, and I got my deposit back.
