We were beginning our search for a bakery to make our wedding cake. We interviewed many bakeries that claimed to bake wedding cakes but we soon discovered that they seemed to only make wedding cakes from a list of basic cakes..... What was interesting was that they all seemed to have the same list..... We began to get discouraged. Someone told us about Angelina's in Seaside, CA. We visited Angelina's and began discussions...... One of the things that seemed to cause a lack of interest on the part of all the previous bakeries was that we were interested in having a carrot cake for our wedding cake. When we began our discussions with Angelina's we mentioned that we were considering carrot cake, Angelina's gracious staff didn't even flinch. They told us it could be done. We began thinking of possibly having alternate layers of other types of cake, not just carrot. We decided on a simple three layer cake, but were still considering wanting something else in addition to the carrot cake. Angelina's staff was more than accommodating, and very patient to say the least. We finally settled on carrot cake, Italian rum and lemon custard for the 3 tier cake...... but I (the groom) still wasn't satisfied..... I still felt there was something missing. My fiance' told me to make the decision regarding what else to do...... I couldn't make up my mind..... but finally the decision was made with Angelina's staff. We were now looking forward to a 3 tier cake of carrot, lemon custard and Italian rum layers..... WITH 2 individual half sheet cakes, one of carrot and the other of Italian Rum. Next the decision was to be made on how to decorate the cake..... So then the research was on. We decided to have the some orchids cascading down from the top layer. We showed some samples to Angelina's staff..... They understood. The BLUE orchids were supplied two days before the wedding. On our wedding day (Nov 9th), Angelina's staff showed up at our venue ON TIME and I was called outside to see the cake/s in their delivery vehicle...... I distinctly remember my immediate reaction as WOW !!!
I was blown away by the beautiful wedding cakes. Angelina's staff prepared a most delicious combination for us. Angelina's staff is wonderful, gracious, friendly and professional. Angelina's made us feel as though our desires were not impossible to attain.
We love Angelina's and would sincerely recommend them to anyone desiring perfection...... even...
Read moreWe had looked at other bakeries in the area to make our son's cake. I tried the cupcakes at Paris Bakery and while they were tasty for an adult they used chocolate ganache and it didn't have a very kid friendly flavor. I was bowled over however by the cupcakes at Angelina's Bakery. The chocolate was nice and dark chocolate flavored and the vanilla had a rich flavor. The butter cream frosting was amazing. Thick and creamy but not overly sweet. I hate buttercream that I have had from other places but Angelina's was fantastic.
I looked through their book of kid's cakes. There was nothing that really stood out to me. So I spoke with the man at the counter who I believe is the owner. He asked what I was looking for and I showed him a couple different designs that I had liked online. He worked with me to make my son the perfect Spiderman cake at a good price. I ended up ordering the deco pack for the top because it would take much longer for them to have waited on their supplier for it and I only had a week before I needed the cake. I picked it up off Amazon with prime shipping and it arrived in 24 hours and I took it back to Angelina's.
They were a bit more expensive than you would expect if you compare to grocery store cakes but I think that is because they actually make things from scratch at Angelina's unlike a grocery store that uses prebaked or prepared items or mixes and just frosts them from a prepared bucket. . I was happy with the price I ended up paying for my multi level cake which was $65 and then the cost of the deco pack.
I really wish I could post a picture because the cake was beautiful. And when I picked it up the owner's daughter who looked about 12 was working. A very sweet girl who wished my son a happy birthday and helped me get a cupcake to keep him away from his awesome cake until his party the next day. I love it that she is getting to spend time with her dad and learn responsibility and about running a business. This is a real family owned bakery. Thank you...
Read moreThe most delicious, moist, and melt in your mouth marbled cake I’ve ever had! I came to Angelina’s to get a ready to purchase cake from the display case and I was beyond impressed! Usually, you expect the ready to purchase ones to be less than the personally ordered ones. However, I had ordered one for my oldest last time (which was also delicious), but I didn’t have time to pre order this time so I got one already made. The young woman that was writing down on a notepad was gracious enough to write on the cake for me, and I was checked out immediately.
Everyone at this bakery is excellent! The cake was also not that much more than any other chain bought store, but it was a thousand times more delicious! The chocolate ganache was glossy, and rich with flavor. The filling was a light, whipped buttercream that had a hint of cherry to it. Absolutely delicious with the fluffy marbled cake crumb! My son and rest of our family were definitely beyond satisfied with our cake. Definitely, give Angelina’s a shot with either custom orders, or their ready to purchase...
