A great find. Cupcakes are top of the line. Avoid the attitude, crowds, and high prices at 'Sprinkles,' Hotcakes is better!
We happened upon this place after a huge meal at Paco Taco's 2 doors down. Even without an appetite, when I saw a guy outside eating a moist chocolate cupcake with beautiful cream cheese frosting, I went inside. The place has a beautiful, large selection of fresh cupcakes, pastries, etc. Smelled awesome in there. Friendly staff - very helpful. Looks like they do all kinds of specialty orders - beautiful cakes were being decorated by a woman in the back. It is like 'Sprinkles' in Beverly Hills only without the mean attitude, pushy lines, and high prices. These cupcakes were very reasonable in price - and much more moist than Sprinkles. Sprinkles in Beverly Hills has good icing, but DRY cupcakes. Remember, we ate Hotcakes' cupcakes on full stomachs - we were not even hungry. They still rules! All we were able to say the rest of today is, "when can we go back to Hotcakes for more cupcakes?" SOON. Street park on Centinela or behind it in the residential area. Still easier to park there than in Beverly Hills. Can't wait to try more! Very impressed.

Delicious cupcakes at a good price
Although the location leaves something to be desired, Hotcakes Bakes is worth the stop if you are looking for a diverse choice of delicious cupcakes. Their cream cheese frosting is incredible! There is parking out back if you can't find a spot on the street.

Best Carrot Cake in Los Angeles and superior customer service all in one!
I was looking for a great Carrot Cake for my partner's birthday. After reading some reviews on here, I went to Hotcakes Bakes! The reviews are completely accurate on here. The Carrot Cake was "to die for" and was made with the highest quality ingridients. It was worth every dollar I spent on it, and I will definitely order other cakes/desserts from them again. As well, their customer service was five (5) ***** stars as well. The staff wants their customers to come back and they offer superior service along with superior products.

A great local cupcake shop and bakery
This is a local shop and not as popular as the other bakeries and cupcake shops ,but as for taste it can compete against the best of them. The place is no frills and isn't as chic as other places but their cupcakes are nice and light with flavorful icings that didn't bog down the tastes buds. The frosting on their strawberry cupcakes is amazing. I'm not the biggest icing fan and usually have to wipe some excess frosting off, this time however, I was wiping up the icing on my plate with my finger and into my mouth. The taste reminded me of those strawberry shortcake ice cream bars the ice cream truck would sell when I was growing up. The english toffee was also a good one and although I'm not a maple fan, the other LA Cupcake group members liked thier fall spice cupcake. Oh and I didn't get to try the coconut, but heard some good feedback on those too. Cupcakes are $2.50/each.

No frills great bakery
We have been getting birthday cakes for the last year or so. Although I try to stay away from past or present "trendy" desserts (honestly, did you ever have a tiramisu that beat out a good brownie?). I have to admit that their Red Velvet cake is really good (albeit rarely even -- it has more than a little bit of the "homey" lopsidedness to it). The cupcakes are to my mind as good as Sprinkles, although I am not a huge fan (I miss the Van de Kamp devil's food cupcake of my 60s childhood). The baker (owner?) seems to be pretty no-nonsense, but the people interfacing with the public (usually young women) have been uniformly pleasant.

Good, hard to get to
The cupcakes were good, but the people working there weren't overly friendly. It was a bit annoying to park and the location isn't the best.

Coconut Raspberry Butter Cream Cake Rocks
Ordered the cake for a birthday and it was amazing. I'm not even a big sweet tooth and I can't get enough of that cake. Very light and moist even though it sounds really rich. I ordered the day before for a morning pick up and it was ready when I got there which was important since I was on a time deadline. Staff was very friendly and I had no problem parking right in front of the front door.

Horrible, rude, unreliable service and mediocre bakes
Horrible service! I called to order a light catering for a 10 person meeting the following day. I was assured that a box of assorted muffins, cookies, etc. would be delivered to my meeting area by 10 a.m with service materials - at least napkins included. Instead, a woman showed up half an hour late, on her cell phone and just handed over a box. When I called the store to complain, I asked for the manager and a woman who identified herself as the owner told me she had been the one who made the late delivery. She did not apologize but instead gave me excuses about why she couldn't fulfill this simple request. I asked for a refund and she screamed she would give me one and then hung up on me. Of the $65 bill, only $20 of it was refunded. And to top it off, the baked items were only so-so. I promise to never waste my time with this place again and I urge you to avoid it as well.

Great cake and customer service
My husband got my birthday cake from here and I liked it so much I ordered my 3 year old's cake here, too. The woman who took my order was very accomodating to my special requests and the cake turned out beautifully. It's nice to have a good bakery in the neighborhood.

Caution! Avoid fo uyour events
Caution!!! Do not use for your special events. The online and in-store picture gallery convinced me to use them over a more tasty bakery, which is not hard to find. Only they could not have made to many more mistakes with my party tray order. This was for my wedding I ordered a cake, which was correct but that was it. They party tray of minis had was a mismatch of full size and minis- not one of the four mini cupcake flavors I ordered was included and they gave me Burnt Caneles! The worst part was their response. I had to make several contacts to get a partial credit, on the tray only of course and then I received a nasty letter.
