Gala Bakery & Party Shoppe

We first sampled Gala cakes at a friend's birthday. Delish! I have since ordered a number of cakes from Gala for birthdays and other celebrations, but the one that ""took the cake"" was my university graduation cake! The staff searched and found a perfect school logo, matched the school's green and gold colors perfectly, and created a masterpiece! I love raspberry, and orginally ordered the raspberry jelly filling. The staff advised that it would be more difficult to cut and recommended the mousse filling on a large cake. The filling was awesome and the cake held together during the cutting without becoming a mess. Order in advance, the bakery can get very busy! Stick to the white cakes with your choice of filling. Pros: Excellent and personalized service, wonderful cakes, high quality Cons: The carrot cake was a little disappointing. more

I will never go anywhere else for a cake i get so many complements and they are just gorgeous! I drive from Livermore to san leorenzo for them Pros: Great looking and tasting more

This bakery makes some of the best cakes. So good that on occassion I will just buy one with no particular reason to celebrate. I highly recommend their lemon cake...but all of the ones I have tasted are light and very fancy. They are not cheap but when you taste them you will understand why. For certain cakes you may need to allow a one week lead time so order early! Pros: Great place to get high quality cakes for special occassions Cons: You may be asked to leave a deposit. more
