This place has been on my to-try list for a long time but I finally got to try it on New Year’s Day! Driving from Echo Park to Gardena was a breeze since there was no traffic
I got the 5-inch strawberry cake ($22) and it was seriously so good. How do these bakeries get their cake to be so light and fluffy, without being dry at all? I had this cake in my fridge for a good five days and kept taking small slices of it, and it never dried out (the frosting got a little hard around the edges but not a big deal) The whipped cream frosting is also my favorite. I have never liked American-style buttercream, which is usually too heavy, dense and super sweet. Give me whipped cream style frosting from any Asian bakery!
My husband and I ate the matcha cake slice the day we got it, and I liked how there was one layer of strawberry cream to help counter the slight bitterness of the matcha. The cream filling is so good, not too sweet at all.
Cream puff- I ate it the next day but the craquelin on top was still crispy/crunchy. The custard filling was so good! Not too sweet and not too liquidy or thick, just right.
The chestnut mont blanc I ate 2 days after I bought it, but the cake itself was still moist and fluffy. The chestnut flavor definitely came through, and the candied chestnut on top and inside was a good textural addition.
I would definitely go back to try more stuff. I wish it was closer to me!
