[Review] Scouting for A wedding baker!

Lili P. - Duarte, CA - 5 Star rating via Yelp

Visited Patty’s Cakes while scouting for wedding baker. We didn’t schedule an appointment or anything, just walked in to get more info about orders & pricing.

Space was small. Storefront was probably about 8X11′ One display area, which is also cashier. No seating area really, you have a picnic table that can seat 3-4 for scheduled tasting. Display is mainly cake balls. cupcakes are in the back as you order to go/pickup.

We asked for info and was told that Patty would be best person to give us the stuffs. We waited about 5 minutes, Patty came out with full energy! She apologized for the wait, letting us know that she’s working on a cake for, I believe, Sunday morning. She apologized again that she won’t have much time to spend with us as she likes, but definitely can give us info.

Patty also offered some tastings for us. Gave us the pricing based on what we’re thinking. I ordered additional cake balls.

Patty gave us a demo mini chocolate cupcake to show how it would be dec up. She put some edible mini pearls and glitter on it really quick. So cute and pretty. We also had the regular-size banana cupcake, raspberry chambord, lemon, chocolate, and chocolate and coconut.

Cake balls: German Chocolate, banana, lemon.

They were all amazing! so good and fluffy! The cake balls we moist too. Banana cake ball was a bit sweet for me, but banana taste was, vivid. My favs were raspberry chambord, lemon on both cake ball & cupcake. The banana cupcake was very good too, but I like the cream on top better.

I have to admit that for those with regular frosting, there were a lot. So we just ate it without lol. The cupcakes themselves were good stuffs.

I appreciate Patty’s energy and attention, even though we didn’t have an appointment, we left the place really wanting to work with Patty for the wedding. The only problem is it’s further than the venue than I thought. Wedding is on Sunday, and they don’t deliver to the venue due to distance, so we’ll have to have someone pick it up. This is the only reason why I’m scouting for others that are closer.

If I’ll be in the area, definitely will park by Patty’s to visit and get some goodies.
