Torrance Bakery

This bakery shop even has their own website. You can order cakes through the website. Well this is very uncommon but is becoming a trend that bakery shops are going online.

Torrance Bakery has two branches. Original shop is located in downtown /old town Torrance and another new one in Gardena on Western. I've heard a lot about Torrance Bakery from my Hubby as their office has many parties and sometimes they would get cakes from Torrance Bakery, or even pastries for the breakfast table. Up until yesterday, I've never tried their cakes or pastries. But since I have to find a bakery to order my boy's birthday cake, I've gone out trying many cakes around. Finally we've decided to place the order with Torrance Bakery.

This shop was named the Retail Bakery Award Year 2006 by the Modern Baking Magazine. It all started by an entrepreneur name Kirk Rossberg back in 1984 when he bought over a donut shop in downtown Torrance. Now with 74 employees they also serve lunch with simple sandwiches and salads menu. They also have a wedding cake showroom and offer large selection and varieties of delicious cake and fillings.

And about their cake, the texture of the piece of chocolate buttercream filled cake with chocolate shaving and buttercream icing which I bought from Torrance Bakery as sample was so smooth and moist. The buttercream is my favorite, which I didn't even know they have it here because most of the cakes I've eaten used whipped cream instead. One piece of choclate cake cost $2.85 which is kinda expensive for me even dollar to dollar as I can get a piece of similar cake back in Malaysia for only RM1.20 or RM2.00 the most from the local bakery shops there. Anyway, I already paid the $58 in full for the custom order of 1/2 sheet chocolate birthday cake with Pooh and Friends design. Their standard design 1/2 sheet cake only cost $47.
