I'd prefer central to eastside (Pasadena) - but can travel and am not opposed to westside or SFV
We tried cakes at two places - Sweet and Saucy in Long Beach (sweetandsaucyshop.com) and Flour and Flower Designs in South OC (flourandflowerdesigns.com). Our wedding planner recommended both - and we loved both but ended up using Flour and Flower simply because of the better price. Haven't seen the cake yet but we're looking forward to it!
I would suggest taking a look at this person's list of places they've tried. I've been to a few of them and I agree with her for the most part.

ETA: We LOVED Susina's. I wish I could live there and sleep on a bed made of the berry blossom cake. Yea, it's that good. Pricey but good. We eneded up going with King's Hawaiian. They had the best balance of taste and affordability.
I used Hotcakes Bakes in Culver City. Had a cupcake tower with a small cake on top. DELICIOUS. Amazing, fabulous customer service as well.
We are going with Torrance Bakery. Awesome, awesome and got great reviews. Porto's is also great. We did a tasting at Great Dane, and were not fans. I'd recommend Torrance to anyone!
We got ours from Porto's in Glendale. Mmmmm, cake... can't wait to eat some in 2 days! :)
Skiff's Bakery in Simi Valley - consistently rated as one of the best bakeries for wedding cakes. The prices are fairly reasonable since its in the valley and not in LA. We got the same type of wedding cake for my bridal shower. It was so good everyone was asking for seconds and when I took home the leftovers, I ate all 6 leftover pieces for dinner. I'm crazy religious about watching my weight... so doing that was a major thing for me. It was sooo good.
@Mrs. Louboutin - do they do cake tastings at Skiff's? Thanks for the tip!
Try Cakery Bakery in La Canada Flintridge. They are family owned and their cakes are super moist and delicious!
I second Portos in Glendale...In Monrovia there is a place called Merengue Bakery and Cafe
that is very similiar to Portos too.
I think you should definitely check out Torrance bakery in Torrance or Becker's Bakery in Manhattan Beach. Both have amazing cakes and do some exceptional work.
Plus, they're both REALLY yummy! :)
I loved Great Dane in Seal Beach. I've been to Porto's too and they have yummy yummy cakes. Torrance Bakery...I didn't like their customer service, the day we went there I think the rep was having a bad day and was really rude to us. Great Dane's also has a one year anniversary cake that they make for you, which sealed the deal for us.
Nancy Kay's Confections --- YUUUUUM! and beautiful too! She doesn't have a bakery, but has a tasting room.
Auntie Em's in Eagle Rock. They are famous for their cupcakes, but they make delicious cakes too. Don't know if they do formal tastings, but you can go try a bunch of mini-cupcakes to test out their flavors.
Susina on Beverly near La Brea--my favorite "high end" bakery.
Avoid Sweet Lady Jane!!
While I am in AZ now, I used to live in LA and can recommend 3.
Skiffs in Simi Valley. Super simple cake designs so dont expect anything elaborate but they have really yummy, moist cakes!
Torrance Bakery in Torrance, super yum!
A Sweet Design in Granada Hills, joeleen did my wedding cake and she is really sweet and accomodating. Our cake was beautiful and the grooms cake was really cool too. She did a couple of fake tiers and a sheet cake for the back and it worked perfect and saved us some money. Here is a link where you can see part of the cake and the grooms cake

Good luck!
We're using Ninong's Pastries in Granada Hills (SFV). Their cakes are delicious!

Hi LA Bees:
I'm on the hunt for places to go tasting for wedding cake and would love any positive or negative feedback based on your experiences.
TIA
