Torrance Bakery

Delicious cake just the way I wanted...Marble cake with chocolate chips in the filling!!! Everyone loved it!

I bought my wedding cake from this shop. Since my husband is an artist we had a custom made cake that he designed. This bakery really helped us and really brainstormed with us to get the most for our budget. The cake was beautiful and we got a lot of compliments but there were quite a few lines that were not strait and we could tell that it was from a shaky hand. Overall, I liked my cake but I wish it was a little bit better. I really dont want to say anything bad because I know that our cake had a lot of detail and probably was hard. The place is really busy and you have to make an appointment way in advanced. People walk in constantly and the staff is not immediately friendly you have to sit down and talk to them to get to be friendly. It would be nice if they greeted you with a smile and said "how can I help you" instead of "Do you have an appointment?" Overall, they were the best for me with my budget, they were really helpful, and the owner is really nice.

Our cake was flawless and SO delicious! Unlike other bakeries that charge you an arm and a leg for fillings, the charge to "upgrade" for cream fillings is extremely reasonable- and is per tier not per slice. When we went to sample, the cake was very good but I have to say it tasted so much fresher and better on the day of the actual wedding. We received so many compliments on how good the cake was. Can't wait to see how the top tier is after freezing! This is seriously the best place for the best price in LA- I looked everywhere and this is the best!

Torrance Bakery worked with us to get a great cake on a budget. The flavors where delicious, and you have a good variety to choose from. At the tasting you only get a few of the many possible options, but if you request a certain flavor and they have some in the back they will get some for you to taste. Since we had a smaller budget we did a lovely three-tiered cake and then had sheets cakes made of the same flavors- no one even knew the difference and it saved us alot of money!

The wedding cake was a part of our package through our vendor, however, since we upgraded to have real strawberries as a part of one of our fillings and special frosting it cost a little bit more. The tasting of our cake did not do the actual cake we had at the wedding justice. The samples tasted stale but thank goodness they were AMAZING. I know you must think we are crazy for moving forward with a cake that tasted stale but I saw previous reviews and crossed my fingers that it was just the samples. They only thing I was extremely frustrated about is how they accepted payment for the wedding cake. We live about two hours away from Torrance Bakery and when we called to pay our final bill they said that they would not accept credit card over the phone and we could only mail CASH! ummmm... Mail cash huh? What happens if the money gets lost or stolen in the mail...? They wouldn't accept a personal check or money order via mail. They said I had to come to their location and pay the remaining balance if I did not want to send cash. WOW! This was the type of stress I did not expect right before our wedding. I asked to speak to a manager and explained the situation. After conversing for 15 minutes or so she finally agreed to allow me to scan my credit card and ID (in color only) and email it to them. This was obviously an inconvenience but so much better than driving in traffic for a few hours just to pay an $185.00 balance. All in all, everything else was great but I wanted to let future brides know in advance what to expect... if you live far (pay the bill in full when you are physically there). It is not something you need to stress about a few weeks before the wedding; you have enough to worry about!

The cake was perfect. They did a great job in matching the cake to my colors. And the cake tasted amazing.They were easy to work with and very professional

Overall, I was pleased with the experience that I had with Torrance Bakery. I appreciated that I was able to choose the wedding cake that I wanted, to the very last detail. The quality of cake is outstanding and my guests loved it.

TORRANCE BAKERY IS GREAT!!! The cake was beautiiful, moist, and delicious. They did a wonderful job matching the cake to our colors. Due to our budget we got a three-tiered cake, and a large sheet made of the same favors and colors. This saved us a lot of money! The staff was friendly, helpful, and professional. The cake was delivered on time and perfect. We would use Torrance Bakery again!!!

Our cake came looking like it was thrown together last minute- very sloppy looking. Very sad. Our experience with them was relatively quick up until that point so I cannot comment on their service- but the end result was very disappointing.

I loved my wedding cake. everything about was amazing.

We had ordered and paid extra for a specific type of cake and this was not fulfilled. It was embarrassing that my wedding guests complained that the cake was not as described. Please think again before hiring torrance bakery.

They had lots of great flavor options, designed beautiful cakes, and did a great job. They also taste much better than their nearby competitor Rossmoor Pastries.

They were amazing from start to finish... VERY AFFORDABLE!!! Our Guest Loved the cupcakes... (even days later)...

Ohhhh WOW!!!! The best wedding cakes in the world!!! Yummm!!!

Torrance Bakery was really great to work with, we enjoyed our cake tasting and design choices so much! Our cake came out gorgeous! Just as we requested and we received so many compliments on it. Also their cake is just out of this world! I always just felt like wedding cake was all the same but one day at a bridal expo I sampled Torrance Bakery for the first time and from that moment on knew we were working with them! Delicious!!!!

Had a wonderful experience with them! You can tell that they've been in the business of wedding cakes for a long time now just from their service.

I love my wedding cake!I would not have known about this bakery if not for FantaSea. However I was surprised when I went for my tasting it's been in business for over 80 years and it is a big bakery in torrance.I was very happy with the taste, service and the quality of my cake.

Delicious! Beautiful! Awesome! Our cake tasting was fun...the bakery was extrememly professional and on time and the cake was delicious. This is my favorite bakery in the world!!

Torrance bakery made us a wonderful, delicious cake with only 2 weeks notice. It looked even better than I could have imagined!Very creative place and willing to let the bride and groom be creative as well. Excellent!

We ordered our wedding cake from Torrance Bakery, and not only was it affordable but everybody loved it. We had a three layer cake, banana, chocolate mousse, and custard :) We ended up finishing all of it, even the top layer :)

We used Torrance Bakery for our wedding reception in January. We went back and forth a few times to nail down the details of our cake. We chose Torrance Bakery because it was part of the package where we had the reception (Chart House). They charged a lot for simple things we wanted on the cake, but in the end, they were able to make the cake that we wanted and it was one tasty cake! The banana cake with banana creme filling and red velvet with creme cheese filling were favorites. I'd recommend Torrance Bakery to anyone.

We worked with a young gal named Katy who was really sweet and helpful with answering our questions. We chose Torrance because of the quality of their cakes. Their cakes tasted the best, was the most freshest, and had the best combination of flavors. On our wedding day the cake was beautifully decorated and arrived on time for the florist to decorated. Everyone loved the flavors we chose and asked for seconds. Fortunately there was a lot left over (we had a gelato bar that took away from the cake's attention), so we froze some and will eat them periodically throughout the months to come. I would highly recommend them!

Torrance Bakery wedding cakes are the bomb! I'm not a big fan of cake, but theirs is moist and very flavorful. My cake tasting appt. was phenomenal as they were generous in giving me all the choices I asked for which was over the limit. My cake was beautiful, elegant and delicious!

My Cake was delicious. I loved it.

Torrance Bakery was the greatest!!! They allowed me to change the design of my cake without adding extra cost. They were even able to match the color of my cake to the swatch that I provided!!

The wedding cake looked beautiful and it was delicious but the top layer was made with the wrong flavor. My wife and I were not pleased about this.

Amazing!!! It was beautiful, delicious and on time!!!

I LOVE TORRANCE BAKERY. I use Torrance Bakery for all of my children's birthday and finally had a chance to use them for my wedding day. I had a four tier cake and it was very moist and very good. I received many compliments of the taste of the cake. I am a forever cutomer to Torrance Bakery.

A much better choice for Wedding Cakes in the South Bay is Picaboo Cakes by Randi Madden. You can find her on Facebook. She is flexible, helpful, her cakes taste fantastic and she will customize your cake to what ever you want!

The cake was delicious. We had timely delivery of the cake- no problems

We chose this bakery out of three that the venue offered. Our venue had an event where each bakery was present with samples at their tasting. Torrance Bakery had the best tasting cake and filling so we decided to go with them. When we arrived they brought out there most popular flavors. Their cakes were delicious and so were there fillings. We wanted to try some other fillings they had to offer so they went right on over to make them for us. We had a hard time choosing which flavors we liked the best but ended up doing marble with chocolate mousse, chocolate with raspberry mousse and vanilla with chocolate mint mousse. I had brought in a picture of the design I wanted on my cake and they said they could do it. So I let them keep the picture to do it. Everyone there was friendly and very helpful. I even changed my mind about a part of the design so I called them up and they took care of it over the phone.At our wedding the cake looked exactly the way I had hoped and was just as delicious as the day we had went for the tasting. I have no regrets about choosing them and would highly recommend them!

Torrance Bakery is one of the best bakery in our local area. The wedding cake we ordered from them was absolutely delicious. Our guest really enjoyed the tasty cake. They were very professional and very friendly. We highly recommend them.

We went in about 4 months before the wedding to pick out our wedding cake. They were on time and waiting for us at our appointment time. The staff was very helpful and organized and they even called to remind us that our final payment was due along with the cake toppers which was great because it had completely slipped my mind! The cake was delivered on time and tasted great :) Red velvet with cream cheese icing. Yum!

I love cake, and so when I tried my soon to be sister in law's wedding cake (I asked a waiter to serve me some because it looked amazing, and she wasn't serving it as she went to Duke's and served their hula pie instead - I know she is crazy, who chooses ice cream cake instead of cake cake?!) and I knew I had to have this cake for my own wedding! The cake is so moist and the frosting is yumm-y! When I went to try samples, I was given a wide variety - chocolate, vanilla, red velvet, carrot, lemon, marbled, and more - with lots of options for frosting and fillings - there was even a pineapple frosting. I was a little disappointed with taste of the chocolate cake and the red velvet, but I was never going to serve those flavors anyway. Ultimately I went with multiple layer options: marbled with fudge frosting, and yellow cake - shortcake hybrid with fresh cream and strawberries (this - yellow/shortcake - was by far my favorite). I changed my design twice, and it was never a problem. By the way, their turkey sandwiches and cupcakes are also phenomenal, my fiance practically cried with happiness when I brought him one of their cupcakes.

The wedding cake from Torrance bakery is really good. All of our guest said that the cake was very tasty and that they absolutely enjoyed it. The staff here are very professional and friendly.

The cake we got for our wedding at Torrance Bakery was one of the most delicious cake I have ever tasted. Everybody that attended our wedding loved the cake. The service was also very good too. Highly recommended!

When I initially tasted their cake at a tasting, I thought it was whatevers, but since my venue had a contract with them, I just chose the best flavors out of the bunch, upgraded to french cream and hoped for the best. Well, I have to say that the cake tasted 100X better on the day of the wedding! Some guests even commented on how good the cake was!

Both my engagment party cake and wedding cake were beautiful. The decorations were simple and elegant and the cake was very tasty. I highly recommend Torrance bakery to everyone.

We love Torrance Bakery... The cake was decorated beautifully and the taste was awesome.

Our wedding cake was beautiful, and absolutely delicious!!!! The staff was very sweet and helpful. I'd order from them again in a heartbeat!

Good service, great looking cake. A little bit too much frosting but delicious.

Our reception site had two bakeries that they work with (included in their package) and one of them was Torrance Bakery. The cakes were way better than the other bakery in Rolling Hills the only thing is that they were not as responsive when we were making the final touches to our cake. Make sure you do the cake tasting before choosing your flavor and do not be afraid to order other flavors than the regular white cake. We choose their very popular Banana Cake and our guests loved it. You can also do two different flavors on each layer for your guests to have choices. Also get your cake advisor's advice and see what cake decoration will look best with your theme. Good luck!!!

Torrance Bakery has a great reputation in the South Bay area. When I went to try different cake flavors I enjoyed the flavors but was not surprised. The cake tasted just a little better than a regular store bought. I expected something really great and amazing with their reputation but their wedding white cake is just like any other cake. The cost was high as well and I wanted to add more to the cake but simply didn't want to spend that much desert. I enjoyed the choices and display room and I was able to make a design that I wanted on my cake. I loved the opportunity to have three different flavors in my cake for no extra cost. I would recommend it but not to everyone. Please try the flavors first and then see what you like.

Yum! However the fondant was a bit thick and they put the green on the fondant roses, which I asked to have removed.

WOW!!!!! Keith is so awesome. My fiance and I were not sure what style or flavor to get our wedding cake in. Upon our first meeting Keith layed out his main flavors but ensured us that he was open to any suggestions. Our guests ranted and raved about the delicious cake and I even have a relative who called the next day to get keith's number because she was going to drop the baker she chose and go with one of Keith's delicious cakes. :)

I did not end up getting my cake from Torrance bakery, not because the cake did not taste good but because they wanted to charge me over a thousand dollars for a design that another bakery was willing to do for free, so no brainer, I went with the other bakery.

But the cake there is so good and they actually take their time to customize the flavors with fillings for you. My absolute favorite was the butterchip. It has got to be the best thing ever. I was sad not to have it at my wedding but I thought it was pretty expensive to charge me over a thousand for a simple design that another bakery was going to do for free.

The staff was very professional and friendly. They were helpful and answered all of my questions. They had a lot of different displays to compare and tons of pictures to look at for wedding cakes. The samples were the most popular flavor combos and delicious. The cake was moist and thick and the fillings were fresh and tasty. We had a simple wedding cake but still very unique for our price range.

Very easy to work with. They allow a cake tasting (which was fun). The cakes are delicious and very beautiful. I'm trying to find an excuse to use them again...perhaps a birthday party or graduation. Their customer service skills are very good as well. Overall, this place was outstanding and I highly recommend.

Cake was great! We ordered the smallest 3 tier from torrance bakery and provided a sheet cake to save costs. The cake was beautiful and tasted great!!! Delivery was about an hour later than quoted... I didn't care, but I guess my poor florist was waiting around to decorate with flowers. We were very happy with the service when we did our tasting. I would recommend for a beautiful and affordable cake!!

Torrance Bakery was great, the cake arrived on time and not a single bite was left. They also do cake tasting which was yummy and fun. The design of our cake went with our theme and we got lots of compliments, I was pleased with their service.

I can still taste our wedding cake it was so delicious! My husband chose the cake flavors: fresh strawberry, banana, spice and marble. The frosting was buttercream ... hmmmmmmm good!

My Wedding Cake was really great I would recommend them for any event as this is the only place I ever get cakes from. The only downfall was that my cake was supposed to arrive between 2:30-3:30pm, my wedding did not get there until 4:30pm the time my wedding was supposed to start. My wedding cake decorator was inconvienced and I could not start wedding until cake came. But the manager did give me a good credit for a cake when I please.

We chose the Torrance Bakery after visiting 3 bakeries in the area. It came highly recommended by our reception venue, the Queen Mary. Their portfolio of cakes did have variations of the one we were looking for. We did most of the ordering long distance. There was some discrepancy in our initial order. (They forgot that we wanted a square cake after our consultation, and adding that feature added some cost.) And when it came to paying the balance for the cake, I find out that day, that I'm not allowed to make the payment over the phone. (This is not in the contract). And that I had to make the payment in cash right when I arrive to Cali. We had orginially planned on paying for the cake with a credit card, so this set our budget off a bit.OTHER THAN THAT--- Let me tell you, my expectations were met and exceeded with this cake! It was absolutely beautiful and better than I had ever imagined! And I got soooo many compliments about how tasty it was! I loved it. I would definitely recommend booking through Torrance Bakery!

We just had our tasting with Torrance Bakery and it was great! Melissa was very helpful, patient and friendly during the consultation; she answered all of our questions with ease.

We really liked the white cake with fresh strawberry/french white cream and the marble cake with fudge filling. Melissa even gave us extra samples to take home once my fiance pointed out that I'd annihilated the fresh strawberry sample they gave us. My parents also really liked the white cake with lemon filling. Their price quote was extremely reasonable for a custom three-tier cake for 100 people - even my dad looked pleased.

They're definitely in the running! Three more cake appointments to go!

Great Cake...Very moist....were able to get the colors and pattern just right! Great work!

the cake was delicious, they were helpful and knowledgeable. i would recommend them.

During our search for the perfect wedding cake, my husband and I visited Torrance Bakery and were so turned off by the experience. We really wanted to find something that we liked because it was part of the hotel package and we were working on a tight budget. So, we though it would make sense economically to go with them. The flavors were good, especially some of the fruit fillings, but we just couldn't bring ourselves to order one of their traditional, uninspired cake designs.

Upon our arrival, one look around the showroom told me this was not going to be good. The walls were lined with faux cakes, incredibly over-decorated and not even well displayed (some of the tiers were crooked, etc). Then they handed us a binder and might as well have said, 'This is what we make. Pick a design'. Any of the designs with an asterisk were an additional charge not covered by our hotel package, which included any fondant. So, we showed them some of our own examples of what we liked that we had brought along. The salesperson agreed to get pricing for us, but it was over a hundred dollars just to add a bit of simple fondant trim to a buttercream cake.

That was the point where we walked out and they lost our business. They are clearly not interested in creating anything personalized. There are so many great, smaller bakeries in Los Angeles/OC that will make something just for you at a great price. Why waste your time at a place that couldn't care less unless you're willing to shell out some major cash?

Torrance Bakery has a great selection of cake designs to choose from. Since our cake was included as part of the contract with our hotel, it was really easy and only took one 30 min visit.

The cake has a nice crumb and density. They obviously use cake flour and for wedding cakes I think that is almost a must. It isn't overly (fake) vanilla flavored as some can be and the crust is a good thickness given what they use to cover the cakes with.

The standard frosting has an okay texture and fat level. It wasn't pure shortening like I expected, but it also obviously was not pure butter. The staff couldn't tell me what type of buttercream it was; they just called it Torrance buttercream. It isn't as light as a Swiss or Italian buttercream, but also not as grainy or dense as an American buttercream. It's more on the dense side but lightened up a bit with some protein probably. You can order the French buttercream for an extra charge, but we didn't think it was that much better to be worth the charge.

Side Note: Since I'm a cake person, my expectations from a bakery are high, so I'm probably being more stringent on this vendor than others.

I am taking off one star because on the wedding day the cake turned out to be much sweeter than we remembered from the tasting. We liked the sweetness level during the tasting but on the day of it was almost cloying and that is unacceptable from a bakery of this calibre.

I am taking off another second star because we ordered a brown ribbon for the cake and they used black instead. It was really only a difference that the groom and I noticed but we felt like it took away from the cake that we had envisioned. I doubled checked the ribbon color because I knew that when ribbon gets greasy it darkens and brown can easily turn to black, but I took a look at the ribbon after it had been taken off under light and there was no way that was brown ribbon.

Torrance Bakery did a great job with our cake, the flavors were excellent. Their service is good too. We were called a few days prior to the wedding that they didn't have a silver base available but they were very apologetic and offered a different base. However, when our wedding day came, we got our round silver base and it looked GREAT!!! The only thing that they dont do and it was a bummer, is add fresh flowers to the cake, you have to do this on your own. Other than that, they were very helpful!!!

Great and delicious cake!

Torrance Bakery provided our 3 tier wedding cake for our April 18th wedding. The price of the cake was included in our wedding package at the Portifino Hotel and Yacht Club. The cake was fabulous inside and out. We had the marble filling on one layer and the lemon filling in the two other layers. I received many complients on the taste and the look of the cake. I love Torrance Bakery and I plan to have them make a mini lemon filled cake for our one year anniversay since i seriously doubt I would want to eat a year old frozen cake. Take a look at the photo of our cake!

I am so happy that my husband and I chose Torrance Bakery for our wedding cake. I can't believe how expensive some other bakeries are, and this place is affordable and makes beautiful, delicious cakes. It was fun to make the appointment where we got to choose flavors (you do that ahead of time and get to pick lots of combinations to try). Day of appointment - we ate many different samples, and the bakery employee was patient in answering all of our questions. She even got us one sample that we hadn't pre-ordered. We ended up with a chocolate cake with chocolate mousse filling and white frosting (and now I can't remember if frosting had other "flavor" but it was white color and fabulous!). We did a three layer cake with an extra quarter-sheet on the side (to be sure to have enough cake and still keep in budget). We also paid extra for some "gumpaste" flowers - these were designed to look like lavender orchids, our wedding flower. The bakery placed these on the cake and the result was fantastic. The cake had an elegant yet simple design - "Swiss dots" and "vines" (all white). OH AND IF YOU ASK (I did this over email because I was arranging long distance), they will tell you what "most popular cake combinations" are ahead of time - I tried one or two of these but created the others myself for the sample tastings.

I loved our cake! Our experience was great. We showed got to sample so many types of cakes and frostings, it was fantastic. They have more choices at this shop than many of the others. I'm confident they can make any type of cake. My friends have even used them for personal birthday cakes since they can print edible photos onto your cake.

Our hotel has a contract with Torrance Bakery for any wedding. They made our cake and did a wonderful job copying the picture we took in. Melissa was extrememly helpful and patient answering all our questions and giving us multiple tastings! We couldn't decide on buttercream icing or fondant so she actually had a couple samples make with fondant icing so we could get a better idea of the taste. Fondant was not covered by the hotel contract but it was OK because we ended up loving our cake! Our flavors were red velvet/cream cheese, white cake with fresh strawberries, and chocolate cake with fudge filling. Everyone thought it was delicious! :)

So, my reception site actually pays for the cake itself through one of two vendors that we got to choose. I chose a higher end cake and only had to pay about $100 of my own money which isn't bad at all considering I was already preparing for that expense before finding out my reception site would take care of it. So, we gave the bakery a picture during our tasting (and the tasting was delicious). They hit the mark right on! The cake looked perfect and was probably the easiest thing about the whole wedding planning. We had our initial meeting, I called two weeks before to verify the count, and the cake was there with no problem. It was absolutely delicious as I actually ate some of it. And of course we saved the top. They were very professional and very tasty!! I definitely recommend Torrance Bakery. And in this economy I'm sure some people are worried if their vendor will even be in business by the time their day arrives and I assure you they will. They have been in business for a very long time and are just that good!

Torrance bakery was one of three bakeries that were included in our wedding package. After tasting cupcakes from each place, we agreed that Torrance Bakery was a huge step above the others in terms of taste and quality. We couldn't wait to have our cake tasting session and they didn't disappoint. We settled on 4 tier cake, where two tiers were vanilla cake and two were chocolate with chocolate mint filling, all with buttercream frosting. It was delicious! We know we were supposed to freeze the top layer of cake for our anniversary, but we ate it all the next night- it was too good to wait!

I had read great reviews about Torrance bakery so was excited to go for a tasting. Upon arriving at the showroom, I was slightly turned off by the dusty cake models on display and the rec-room feeling of the folding tables laid out in the room. The sales person was very pleasant though, and let us start the appointment 15 min. earlier than scheduled. She brought out the cakes, which were each in individually labeled cups (which is so helpful because it's impossible to remember so many flavor and filling combinations!). We were not impressed by the flavor of the cakes, however, as they were nothing special and tasted like cakes you could make from a mix. Also, in looking through the albums of cake pics, we noticed that the craftsmanship of the cakes they created seemed sub-par, and we could see uneven lines and unbalanced symmetry. This might be acceptable for those on a budget, but even the price they quoted us for a basic cake was around the same price as other bakeries who had better tasting and more beautiful cakes.

Torrance Bakery did a great job with our cake. We had a different flavor for each layer and a simple design that our florist just added fresh flowers to and it was gorgeous. The guests loved the cake and so did we.Highly recommend for cakes and pastries.

Ive had two experiences with Torrance Bakery, the first (my sisters wedding) was decent and the second (my wedding) was horrible. The cake itself was pretty but they made it the wrong color. The cake didn't match my colors at all. Thank goodness the florist covered it with flowers. I ordered an ivory cake and the cake came out an ugly dark yellow color. Literally the color of the yellow stars on this site. The manager of the bakery was not helpful at all when I called after the wedding. Over all I wish I had gone with another bakery.

They have a big showroom with lots of wedding cakes and seem pretty professional in the wedding cake business. The cake tastes great. However, for almost for every little thing you wanna add to the cake, or if you want to customize it a little (just a little, not mentioning bring your own cake picture), they charge A LOT OF money. I ended up spending almost $700 on a 4-tier cake that didn't really look that great. And another thing I don't like about them is that most of the time when I call, no one picks up the phone. And once they even messed up my appointment after I called three times within the two months before the appointment to confirm. They told me that I never called them to make the appointment (which I am SURE I did, three times!!!), but they squeezed me in eventually. Overall, Torrance Bakery is one of the disappointing vendors throughout my wedding planning. Nothing seriously went wrong, but nothing great either.

Our cake came included in the price of our reception, so we didn't exactly choose Torrance Bakery, but it was a great choice! We were very happy with our cake, and it tasted great. We paid extra for fondant, and it looked perfect. The cake was delivered on-time, in perfect condition. Overall, a good experience :)

Delicious and beautiful!

Great Cakes! Great pricing!

This bakery has the best tasting cakes in Southern California! I would use them again. I have one qualm about the cake topper which was not quite what I ordered but it worked!

Great cake, delicious and fed all of our guests. Only complaint my wife had was a color of one of the frostings and how it didnt match flowers, but i think it matched find and looked great. Recommended.

Torrance Bakery works with our Reception Venue, The Blue Water Grill. The bakery allowed us to taste test several varieties of cake, fillings, and frostings. That was one of the best days of the planning. Our consultant worked with us to design a beautiful cake with real sea shells. We had three layers, two were white cake with fresh strawberries and whipped cream filling, the middle tier was chocolate cake with raspberry mouse filling. The cake was delicious and fresh. I just wish I could have had more. The only problems I had was that I tried to contact the bakery twice to confirm everything, they didn't return my calls. When the cake arrived it wasn't exactly the design that we had requested, but it was close enough and still beautiful, so all in all it was a great cake.

If you are thinking of Torrance Bakery and live out of town, make sure you set aside a specific time to do the tasting. We were in the area and thought we could just pop in. Silly us! We nixed the tasting and just went in an ordered what we thought would be good. We lucked out because it turned out to be the best wedding cake I had ever eaten! The design was beautiful and they are making us a small version for our 1 year anniversary:)

Torrance Bakery did an outstanding job on our wedding cake. It was gorgeous.......simply took my breath away on our wedding day, and it couldn't have tasted more delicious! Their lemon cake is to die for!!!!! They were very professional, answered all of our questions, gave us the design and colors we wanted, and delivered our cake perfectly on time. We couldn't have been more happy. Great vendor! Thanks Torrance Bakery!

I loved my wedding cake from Torrance Bakery.They let me pick from a wide variety of flavors and had very good design options.Our cake was really a work of art I couldn't believe how moist and delicious it was.Their service is amazing and they where really patient and caring from the first time we met.Highly recommend Torrance Bakery!

Delicious cake!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Beautiful design!!!!
Very helpful in choosing the cake flavor.

The cake was soo pretty, however the flavors of the cake were not very good. None of my guests enjoyed the taste.

Delicious!! Did the design exactly as pictured and everyone loved it!!! Price was very inexpensive for the quality! Would recommend!

I was so turned off by their lack of customer service here. They would say anything to get you finished and out the door because true, they are ridiculously busy! But we chose NOT to go with this vendor because they wanted to charge me an arm and a leg for a custom designed cake. Let's see, I think they said $7 a person extra which was on top of the regular cost of the cake! They have decent cakes, but the service is lacking big time. Not worth the hassle.

I loved the design of my cake and I received a lot of compliments on the taste.

The cake was beautiful and tasted yummy!

After a horrible experience with Mayer’s Bakery, I went back to Torrance Bakery about a month before our wedding. Their customer service was top notch at our initial meeting and once I booked with them, which was really important to me. Indrea and Melissa answered all of my emails quickly and didn't mind that I changed my mind a few times. Everything turned out just as I had requested on the day of our wedding.

I heard that the cake tasted great although I never had a chance to taste it on our wedding night but we did eat the top layer a month later and it was fantastic!

The only drawback was a little bit of a higher price but in the end, it was worth it to deal with a reputable company.

Cake was delicious! Disappointed in the tasting had to do a second tasting since I didn't lke any of the standard tasting samples. May want to call ahead and set up flavor to taste. Great bakery.

The cake was delictious!! Yum!!

The only annoying thing was going to and selecting the samples. The traditional sample flavors for the tasting didn't appeal to me. I am more of a chocolate lover. I would recommend that you sample specific flavors that you want which requires putting in a special order with at least 24 hours notice.

Our hotel venue has a contract that includes the cake with Torrance Bakery or Mayers Bakery. We only went to Torrance for a tasting and booked them. We ordered the Red Velvet, White cake with fresh strawberries, and white cake with lemon mousse. The fresh strawberries were $15 extra, no biggie. This nominal balance was due two weeks before the wedding. With all that happens the last two weeks, the $15 balance slipped my mind. I received a voicemail from the bakery 1.5 weeks before asking for the balance. I was meaning to go in person to pay. I didn't call her back right away and she called me again while I was driving with a complete attitude collecting the $15. She stated that the she left "numerous messages." When I heard that I was completely irritated. Numerous = one message. It's not like I owed $450 for the cake. It was a lousy $15. I told her that I was stopping in but she insisted that I give her payment over the phone. When I told her I was driving and my purse was in the back seat, she got her attitude again...sounding as if the world was ending if they didn't get their money and stated their balance pay off policy. Ridiculous. I finally called back and gave them a credit card. Spoke to another gal who was super sweet. It wasn't the same lady as I would've recognized her voice.

The cake on the day of was decorated the way we wanted and the red velvet layer a bit on the drier side according to my sister. We only had a bite of the white cake so I have no idea. I'm sure it tasted fine but just the way in which it was handled left such a bad taste in my mouth. I won't be ordering any personal cakes from them.

I also just remembered that at one point I wanted my cake layers to be separated so I could have my florist fill in the gaps with fresh flowers and hydrangea. I called once and remembered it was around $15-20 extra which was no big deal. But then when I actually wanted to make the change, I called and I was quoted over $100! From $20 to $100? That the lady that quoted the $100 was the same lady that called to collect.

Gorgeous, fabulous, delicious cake. They took our ideas of what we wanted and everything came out beautifully.

We used Torrance Bakery for our wedding cake. We got a cake for 125 people for about $400 and it was fantastic! We got marble cake and chocolate cake with chocolate fudge chocolate chip filling and buttercream frosting. Everyone has been raving about the cake. It was delicious!

The prices are good and the cake is yummy. They are a good place if you want to save some money on your cake.

The cake they made was very beautiful. They helped me a lot on finalizing the design.

I've been going to Torrance Bakery for years, so it was a no-brainer on what bakery I would use for my wedding cake. We had a white cake with lemon chiffon filling and french cream frosting. It was delicious!

We read a lot of good reviews about Torrance Bakery, so after our delicious cake tasting, we decided to contract with them for our wedding cake. However, when it was delivered to our venue, the delivery person was not so gentle in handling it and it began to lean almost immediately. As the evening wore on, it began to lean more and more, to the point that we decided to just cut it earlier than we had planned for fear it might topple over. The quality of the cake was good, though. Moist, delicious, and beautifully decorated. They also forgot our cake stand we had ordered. I would certainly recommend shopping around for cakes a bit. There are a ton of vendors out there that would most likely do a better job that what Torrance Bakery did for us. After a phone call to the wedding cake department stating my displeasure with the service I received, they offered my money back on the cake stand(rightfully so), and a complimentary one-year anniversary cake next year. Nice, but hardly makes up for the lack of quality service.

They were wonderful! The cakes were delicious and beautiful! I got cupcakes for my guests, and they were adorable!

We are now addicted to Torrance Bakery!! At our wedding cake tasting appointment we were hooked. We tasted 6 cake and filling combinations and had such a difficult time choosing just one, that we choose three! After hearing me rave about the cake, my bridesmaids surprised me with a Torrance Bakery cake at my bridal shower and all of the guests there fell in love with it too. On our wedding day, the cake was absolutely beautiful, delivered on time, and tasted delicious. We also had a groom’s cake that was artfully decorated with a golf theme, and tasted delicious too. We are making up excuses to go get another Torrance Bakery cake and highly recommend them!

The cake was beautiful and was good too. We had so many compliments on how the cake. I really love how the staff works with you when you have your cake tasting, it's very interesting how they do it but they make it more fun!

(Please note: I have to caveat that the cost of the cake was included with my reception location, so I do not know how much it truly cost. But I did not want to penalize Torrance Bakery on the "value for cost" so I rated them 5 stars.)Anyone in the (southern California) South Bay area knows about Torrance Bakery. They are famous for their cakes, and they did not disappoint. First, we thoroughly enjoyed our organized cake tasting appointment. We decided upon alternating layers for our 200+ guests wedding reception. We chose chocolate cake with raspberry mousse filling and white cake with lemon mousse filling. Those might sound like boring flavor selections, but the cake was delicious! The cake was nice and moist, while the fruit mousses were fruity (didn't taste like fake fruit) and sweet (but not too sweet). I had several people come up to me afterward telling me it was the most delicious wedding cake they have ever had! I consider that a pretty darn good compliment for Torrance Bakery. =)In terms of logistics, the cake arrived on time, was in it's place when it needed to be, the ribbon I purchased was placed on the cake as instructed, layers were decorated as we had decided, so I have no complaints. My floral vendor had even told me previously that Torrance Bakery was never late, so he loved working with them, since he had to decorate the cake with fresh cymbidiums.I would definitely recommend Torrance Bakery!

The cupcakes were amazing and the tasting was a blast. A truly wonderful vendor.

We loved our cake. We have the Style #700 with variation and it turned out great. Cake tasted great. The wedding consultant Lourie is very attentive and great to work with. Cake picture in my bio.

love love love

The cake was part of our contract at the Radisson- we had the choice of using Hansen's or Torrance, and since we had already had Hansen's cake before, we went with Torrance. The cake was perfect, exactly what we wanted. We had chocolate with raspberry mousse, and yellow with custard. I couldn't have been happier.

Best cakes in town. Not too sweet. Delivered the cake early. Exceptional service.

We had a choice of 3 or 4 bakeries through our reception venue and we went through Torrance Bakery. They were very easy to work with, answered all of our questions and provided a beautiful and delicious cake. I really loved the way the cake turned out, I'm just sorry I didn't get a chance to eat more of it!

I swear by Torrance Bakery!!!! They have been my bakery of choice for the last 5years! I have tried other bakeries and they just do not compare! If you are looking for the most moist,rich, and decadent cake, then Torrance Bakery is the way to go! Trust me!!!!!!!

So YUMMY! They recreated a cake from a picture for me and it looked great. EXTREMELY good value

EVERYONE THAT CAME TO OUR WEDDING ENJOYED & LOVED OUR CAKE. IT WAS VERY QUICK AND EASY. STRESS FREE!

We loved Torrance Bakery. We had marble cake with fudge filling with white buttercream frosting. Pics in bio. Our cake on the wedding day was just as good as the tasting, very moist. They were wonderful to work with.

They were very professional, helpful and accomodating. I left a message and they returned my call quickly. They answered all of my questions and left the store feeling confident that my wedding cake is going to be as I imagined it... and it was and more! I highly recommend them!

Our wedding reception was held at the Torrance Hilton/Doubletree, so cake from Torrance Bakery was part of our contract. We LOVED our cake - yellow cake, amaretto filling, with buttercream frosting! When we came back from our honeymoon, we found out how much our families loved our cake - one tier was left after the wedding and it was gone by the time we came back! Great service, great options, great cake!
