Cake House

It’s not even my birthday. but I want that cake, cake, cake, cake, cake.
This is a mom and pop shop that pumps out some pretty tasty sweets. This place is so tiny and is tucked in between a boring array of generic Arial-​font business signs. It’s easy to miss driving by, but find 24hr Fitness, and there it is.
The Napoleon looks like a crumbly mess, but is by far the best thing there. Fluffy cream piped in between layers of flakiness. The cream is just the right amount of sweetness, not overly loaded with sugar. And the layers of puff pastry is so thin! I get this every time I’m there.
The cakes are moist and everything I’ve tried so far is pretty good. Good in a simplistic sense. nothing too fancy or spectacular, but just good ol’ baking. Something someone’s mom would bake. However, the shiny topcoat of glaze on some of the mousse cakes is overly ooey-​gooey sticky and gelatinous — yuck.
With not many options in Rancho, I’d say this place is their hidden gem. They are simple but get it right, unlike some other fancypants places that bake dry cakes. I won’t name names but it starts with Mirabelle and ends in Café.
Nicely baked goodies at cheap prices. So unless you want to trek on over to fancier places and break some bills, check this place out. Maybe when it’s not even your birthday.
3.5 stars

I stumbled across this establishment by doing a search on Unilocal.I am always leary of businesses that only have 1 review. I was pleasantly surprised. The bakery is tiny and does not look impressive from the outside. You might even think that based on all the hand bills stuck to the front that it is a quicky mart. Luckily this is not the case. What you will find inside is an aroma of fresh cakes and pastries staged very plainly in the cases. There is quite an assortment of various sizes and tastes. I chose one of the assortment flats and it was comprised of their honey cake and Carmel chocolate. These cakes were wonderful. The cakes are layered with thin layers of frosting and cake. Almost like a tiramisu. I highly recommend this place and I look forward to trying some of their other offerings.
