Vanille de Patisserie

the bakery is snobbery. I was in hurry to get a cake for my 4 yr old boy and on the way home i saw this bakery was open. I bought a $9 dollors Japanese chocolate cake (5"" inch rounded cake) and i was in hurry to get home so I asked the lady if she can give me one free candle. She answered they do not have candles and she wrapped the cake into a ""supermarket"" style plastic bag. Well, that was a shock the bakeries in Chinese community they give free candle and plastic cutting knife and I heard this bakery is Chinese owned. They do sell reg. birthday cakes i think over $30, I wonder if beucase I didn't buy the $30 dollors birthdaycake so they won't give me a candle and nice bag. Even $9 a 5"" cake still a cake, I should get same treatment as buying $30 cake. I usually buy cakes in Japanese bakeries, they do not give you such snobbery feeling and they wrap the cake into a nice bag; and they also give you plastic cutting knife and free candle. overall, the cake taste OK and little too dry unlike a real Japanese cake. more

First off, the presentation is excellent.. So beautiful.. you cant bear to touch it.. but you will, and the taste is to-die-for. Smooth, fine and they cater to the asian palettes, who may not be into the thick and heavy frosting or cream often found in regular non-asian/ western cakes. Dont get me wrong, good cakes are good cakes. But sometimes you want to go for something on the lighter side.. even if it is just the illusion of.. Pros: fine cakes, beautifully presented, great for gifts or self more
