What People Are Saying About Leda's Bake Shop

The Editor

Leigh Reason

Citysearch

In Short – At once futuristic and retro, with just two large, white, space-age chairs and a table, this cheerful Sherman Oaks bakery, run by equally cheery owner Ledette Gambini, churns out artfully simple mini-cupcakes and mod, kitschy cakes for weddings, birthdays or any occasion one can think of. Flavors such as espresso buttercream, chocolate raspberry and carrot with blood orange filling have patrons emptying display cases long before closing. Custom orders are only limited by your imagination.

A LITTLE TASTE OF HEAVEN

by jyj98

WOW-Leda's has some of the best cupcakes EVER!!!! I have tried almost every flavor they have, and I must say that it is hard to pick a favorite. I love the fact that Leda's is as close to homemade as you can get.

Mini cupcakes and vegan options

by tarametblog

This shop has been open for over two and half years now and offers vegan cupcakes, which I thought I'd surely detest, but the Red Velvet vegan mini cupcake was surprisingly, sweet, moist and delicious. They do not use artificial red dye though, so although it tasted like red velvet, it didn't look red but brown.

I also sampled their yummy lime coconut, which had a layer of lime curd underneath the icing and bits of coconut inside the cake. I tried their passion fruit cupcake too, which tasted like a tropical drink. Another one that I ate was the chocolate raspberry, which although I normally like in a chocolate bar, I found it to be just OK in cupcake form. The designs on the mini cupcakes are so pretty that you hate to eat them.

  • Pros: Vegan options and mini sizes
  • Cons: Not the typical comfort food cupcake that you might be used to
