      <content>Diamond, JJ or Cathy's are all good.

And, what do you mean by "cakes"?  Sponge cake? Pastries?  Non-wedding dessert cakes?

I think Cathy's Bakery has the best tarot root filled sponge cakes.  JJ's might have the best pastry selections.</content>

Great bakery in China town on north broadway, I had my wedding cake made here and was a big hit.  It's been there forever and at 1 point my grandma even worked there back in the 40's.

      <content>Ditto on the Phoenix bakery.  That's the kind of cake I grew up on with the fresh strawberry filled cakes.
If you're in the OC, my childhood bakery is there.  Song Long bakery is a French-style bakery with a Vietnamese twist.  The buttercream frosting is buttery and sweet, but light and airy at the same time...I don't know how they do it.  The light sponge cake is sprayed with a little rum during the construction process.  My parents did ask them to go light on the rum when I was a kid, but still it was the best ever!</content>
