Aunt Joy’s Cakes

Thank you so much for making this happen for us at the last minute. We wouldn’t have a cake if it wasn’t for you guys!
Thank you for being a part of our special moment!
It was beautiful! More than I expected!

A friend got his birthday cake here. And it was the best cake I have ever had in my life. No hyperbole. THE. BEST.

Aaaawesome!!! Everything is SO good here, really amazing quality that you can’t find elsewhere. There’s no storefront, so the first time you go it might take a minute to find, but this bakery is a real gem!

We all loved the cake that we ordered for my son’s 1^st birthday. We had a custom design for berry whipped cake, the cake itself was amazing, I am so glad I decided to go with aunt joys for my son’S first birthday. Everyone at the party were praising for the cake. Although I had one minor issue with the final design that came up with, it dint look birthday type, I had to do some additional decoration on top to make it birthday worthwhile. But all in all, I would def recommend it to anyone and would go back to order for each and every occassion if possible. I simply cant forget the yumm taste. A great bakery which is not Portos in burbank as I would say to other friends. :):)

so, i found «aunt joy’s» off the internet and was thrilled to learn that they deliver, since this was a gift. the cupcakes i special ordered were gorgeous! the box was elegant with a beautiful ribbon. jason is great!!! we were texting images back and forth so we could get the perfect look. and, the folks who received the cupcakes said they were delicious! thank you jason! thank you «aunt joy’s…i will recommend my friends here.

We stopped by on Christmas week precisely 12÷22÷14. We wanted a birthday cake for our mother. I believe Justin or Jason helped us. They do not have any display of cakes to pick from at the shop. We couldn’t use our phones since reception was poor in there. Justin or Jason (sorry) was kind enough to let us use his iPad to look up cakes on their website. He recommended a great cake that we were able to pick up on ¹²⁄₂₄. The cake was well packed and traveled well from Burbank to Lake Elsinore. We had the cake on ¹²⁄₂₅ and our entire family is still raving about it. We’ll definitely go back and highly recommend them. And their prices are great!!!

I am so happy that I found this gem in Burbank. I just picked up a dozen cupcakes. i opened the box right when I got in the car to eat the cupcake. I’m pretty picky when it comes to cupcakes and When I finally took my first bite into the cupcake. I just stopped and said wow (I might have seen the heavens open for a couple seconds: p) Aunt Joys Bakery, Is one of the best cupcakes around. Definitely worth trying it. I like the chocolate one. ;)

This cake was the most amazing chocolate cake I’ve ever had. So moist & rich in flavor we can’t wait to place another order. Thank you for my birthday cake I’m so glad my husband found this bakery!

I love the MARBLE!!! it’s my new fave!

I just had a slice of the pistachio cake. Never had anything like that before. It was delicious. Not too sweet.

Update —
Right before I wrote my review I sent an email to Aunt Joy’s Cakes to let them know the problems I had, and they responded well; thus, I upgraded my rating. Aunt Joy’s cares about customer service!
Original post —
I special ordered the berry whip cake for a group birthday. Everyone enjoyed it — the cake was moist and the whip cream was smooth and sweetened just right. While a very good cake, I don’t agree with other reviewers it’s as good as the triple berry from Sweet Lady Jane. The triple berry cake is a denser and more flavorful cake.
It wasn’t a perfect experience. A few minor problems —
* I ordered the Berry Whip cake but when we cut into it, it was strawberries only
* I paid for delivery but the cake arrived 20 mins late. I had to call to make sure it was coming, when it hadn’t arrived by the quoted delivery time.
* The bakery is open Mon-​Fri only. My party was on Saturday. I called them to ask how the cake would be one day later. They said it would be just fine. The extra day didn’t affect the flavor or texture, but the cake was designed using edible paper, and by the next day evening time the colors of the image had bled. The design didn’t look as brilliant as when it first arrived. It’s disappointing, when you’re excited to present the cake at the party only to have it appear blurry.
Given the issues, would I special order a cake from them again? Despite the issues, yes, likely, except I’ll keep in mind the issues I had.
Bottom line — It’s a good local option and the cake tasted great.

After many of the rave reviews I read and remembering how much I enjoyed the cakes I’ve tried at Aroma’s in Studio City, I chose to purchase the Tripple Berry cake for our work monthly birthday celebration from Aunt Joy’s Cakes.
Unlike several others Unilocalers, I had no problem ordering the cake over the phone and when I arrived, it was ready to go. Finding the place was a bit difficult and I had my infant and 3 year old with me and didn’t realize they had a shared parking lot so we all got to experience the industrial side of Burbank together.
There’s no storefront here. Just a small customer pick up area with a lot of movie posters on the walls and a table that looked kinda disheveled so I wondered what my cake was really going to be like. Was I misled by the fabulous reviews? The answer to this question is no. As I had my kids with me, they gave me a free cupcake for my daughter who proudly walked down the street carrying it. What a nice gesture! I did feel the cake is rather pricey: an 8″ cake was $ 47! I’d expect that if they had a storefront and high rent to pay so the ingredients are hopefully unbelievable in quality.
We got home and I put the cake in the fridge and put my infant down, came back to the kitchen and my daughter was licking the remaining crumbs of her cupcake from the table. She never eats cake so I couldn’t believe it was all gone!
Brought the cake to work and everyone was in awe of it’s beautiful appearance, and then the fragrance it releases when it’s cut was wonderful. We all enjoyed it and everyone was asking again and again where the cake was from and mentally bookmarking it in their heads. A total success for an awesome cake. Can’t wait to try some of the other cakes!

I’m about to tear. They looked better than the picture example sent to them and they were soooo moist and rich! My hubby looooved them and the very few people we shared them with (we’re greedy) had words like «wow» and «that is GOOOD». Very very happy with the delivery too. We found our new bakery!

Joy!!! Thank you for the delicous cakes :) everything is so good here when i eat it and im full i dont want to stop eating because its so tasty. Im lucky i live close by and get to enjoy the cakes from here more often then others. LEMON CAKE & CHOCOLATE CAKES are amazing. A must try. The customer serivce is beyond great! they let u sample everything… yummm yummm… they are kind of on the pricey side but come on they taste so good its worth it!

Amazing delicious lemon cake. If you have eaten at aroma in studio city, this is where they get that one cake. Everyone talks about the amazing customer service, free samples etc… While they were nice enough, nothing spectacular and no free samples. Would definitely buy again. Expensive.

We have gotten 2 cakes from Aunt Joy’s and they were great.
It’s even better knowing that Aunt Joy was the hot blonde in Cool Hand Luke.
That’s why this is a great place to get a cake from.

This is where my wife and I get our birthday cakes. That’s the short answer.
Now for some context.
1) My wife wouldn’t care if I forgot to get her a card, had to work late and couldn’t take her to dinner or dropped the ball and didn’t send flowers to her office for her birthday but I’d DAMNED well get her a cake. But not just any cake, it has to be awesome. And that is why I get her the chocolate drizzle cake from Aunt Joy’s. It’s my get-​out-​of-​jail-​free card made from sugar and flour.
2) For my birthday she gets me the Red Velvet cake. Hands down the best red velvet cake I’ve ever had and if you wanna argue about it I’m gonna have to take you down. Then while I’m holding you down, somebody (an accomplice) will shove a piece in your mouth. Then we’ll all agree and move on to the next subject up for debate. But trust me, this is the best red velvet cake you’ll ever have.

When I say «Berry Whip Cream Cake,» you say… «Aunt Joy’s!»
(You said Sweet Lady Jane, didn’t you?)
Well, Sweet Lady Jane needs to make some room, cuz there’s another baker in the kitchen. Thanks to my dessert pimp, Sharon B., I was introduced to Aunt Joy’s pride and… well, joy: Berry Whip Cream Cake! So THIS is what love at first bite is like. It has layers of white, moist, fluffy cake, filled with homemade whipped cream and fresh strawberries, blackberries, and blueberries… it’s truly a thing of beauty. I was pleasantly surprised to find it so light, so creamy, perfectly sweet and texturally balanced. And anytime my dessert involves fruit, I always feel less guilty. Even after a second serving :)
Then I was given some of Aunt Joy’s peanut butter cookies. Peanut butter never tasted so good. The cookies were moist, chewy, full of flavor… IIs there anything this lady can’t do?!
As soon as I can no longer control these Berry Whip Cream cake cravings, guess who I’ll be paying a visit to? Aunt Joy’s is right!

At this point I should have two updates… but since I visited this place twice in about a week, I’ll combine them here… this is more on customer service since I had more interaction with the staff these visits. I was already in love with the Berry Whip Cake, but I had an urge to taste the Red Velvet… so I call ‘em up and talk to Jason (Office Manager. total cutie) and I ask about the Red Velvet. He says it’s the best and after I tell him that everyone says their Red Velvet is the best he offers to give me a free cupcake to sample the Red Velvet. So I get my fatty self to work early the next morning so I can leave Woodland Hills by 4 to make it to Burbank before he leaves… Valley folk know how crazy that 101 is– especially on a Friday! I make it in time and he gives me my cupcake in a cute little box. I’m not huge on Red Velvet so I can’t say theirs was the best BUT it was definitely in top 3. I opted to order the Berry Whip once again…
Fast forward to the following week when I pick up the cake. I’m all chatting and saying how I have to try the cookies and cheesecake next. Jason goes, «you’ve never tried our cookies?» After I shake my head, he says he’ll give me one. As he’s handing over two handfuls of cookies he says, «by one I meant some.» Is he trying to make me fall in love with him?!? First cupcake, now cookies?!? ***Cloud 9*** Ha. So my greedy self looks at the cookies to see 3 snickerdoodles, 2 oatmeal craisins, 1 peanut butter, and 3 bite-​size chocolate chip cookies. Best peanut butter cookie I ever had! I like my cookies with a little crunch yet overall soft/​chewy and all the other cookies were just that. Perfection.
All I can say is, those on my «nice» list will be happy because I’m ordering some of those goodies for the holidays :)
Quick note: Probably better to just call in order and pay when picking up. When I first ordered a cake in April I wasn’t charged tax. Second time around I ordered online, paid via pay pal and was charged tax.

To those who love the Triple Berry Cake from Sweet Lady Jane’s, be prepared for Aunt Joy’s Berry Whip Cream Cake! Aunt Joy can kick Lady Jane’s a$$ any day! The cake itself was sooo moist and all the berries (strawberries, black berries, raspberries, and blue berries) were super fresh. The homemade whipped cream is what makes it stand out the most. It wasn’t too sweet and it had the perfect consistency, it was like a cloud in my mouth. I was literally just picking out the fruit on top and adding a lot of whipped cream to it. I was addicted!
I’m so glad my sister, Sharon B., got this cake for her birthday! They also gave her some complimentary cookies to taste and they were delicious as well! There were about 3 – 4 that I tasted and I liked them all.
Just to note: This isn’t your typical bakery where you can pick up an order there at the store. You need to call in ahead at least 24 hours because everything is made to order. Also they are only open M-​F from 8AM-​4PM.
Definitely check their website out, they have lots of other goodies that I can’t wait to try out. I think I’ve found the place for my wedding cake! Now how to snag a groom!!!
