Cake - What’s Your Favorite?

Hi @foodshutterbug -

@foodshutterbug

Frances Patisserie in South Pasadena (Japanese-French cakes)

the triple berry cake at Sweet Lady Jane, but dislike their coconut layer cake ‘cuz frosting too heavy (I don’t know if Ralph’s on Olympic and Barrington does this anymore, but they sold me a stale slice that had been in their freezer for several weeks.)

Chaumont Bakery in BevHills, limited refrigerated cake slices, but very good (I used them for clients).

BTW - I’m ISO of yummy coconut layer cakes. Magnolia Bakery’s was decent, but frosting was meringue. Does anyone in SoCal make it with whipped cream frosting like some San Francisco Russian bakeries used to do in the ‘80’s?

I love the Triple Berry at Sweet Lady Jane and haven’t had the old slice issue at Ralphs but definitely feel their SLJ offerings are different than at the shop - they’ll do in a pinch.

I was gonna’ mention Chaumont too but didn’t want to get scolded. Plus they close early.

I’m ISO good Coconut Cake too!
