Gwen's Specialty Cakes

Hidden 💎 in Inglewood. Will be back the girl upfront was sweet "no pun intended" and the baled goods were a hit with my clients.... the cobbler 🤤

I visited this shop for the first time today and was greeted by the lovely Ms. Anita. She gave me a little background on the shop while she prepared my order. Their tarts are little bites of perfection and I wish I’d ordered more.

I highly recommend this shop for their high quality treats and excellent customer service.

Wanna be the talk of the potluck party? People will ask over and over again, who brought these little tarts. My goodness!!! The sweet potato pecan and the regular pecan mini tarts are RIDICULOUSLY ADDICTING, I've had company fight over who's going to get the last one. They have other flavors (tarts: lemon, peach and apple) but those 2(pecan) are my favorite. Gwen's bakery can easily be missed as you drive down Labrea. In order to get into their driveway you have to almost come to a complete stop. There is a small hill and Gwen's is nestled in the back, next door to a party supply. You'll see Gwen's red and white building once over the hill. The cake I had was average (don't remember the flavor but it probably was chocolate) . The tarts are a MUST! I go for every holiday's and potluck's and the guest love me.

I have frequented this bakery throughout the years. The cakes are delicious and tasty just like the catering menu.

This was my first time at this location but I've tried the mini tarts at various events.

PROs: quality is worth the price, variety of baked goods, and flavor is not too overwhelming.

CONs: Parking and they sellout.

TAKEAWAY: Plan accordingly, if you have an event call ahead. If you just want to pop-in, anything they have is good --just try it. There is a nice variety of tarts and other sweets at different price points are reasonable but not cheap.

I was lucky enough to get the tart warm, and parking. I will return to try more tarts, cakes and the pralines.

The lemon and pecan tarts are my favorite. Buy don't get me wrong. I will eat all of them with no problem, be sure to place your order in ADVANCE. Especially, for the holidays. And if you need a caterer. I definitely recommend Gwen. Her food is delicious. Treat yourself and your guest. You won't be disappointed. Good Eating.

Outstanding service and best cake I've ever tasted. ordered a cake for my daughter baby shower and it was gone in a hour. Constantly receiving calls asking " where did you get that cake!" I ordered a half carrot and half strawberry cake at the last minute and I was very pleased. Thank you!

We live in the bay and anytime we are in the LA area we stop by to get our fix.
The best sweet potato tarts period, the cakes are good too ...

This bakery made my mother in law's birthday a hit! The cake was moist and so delicious! Thank you for putting love in this cake when you made it. Happy customer.

The mini-pies (which are referred to as tarts here) are to die for! Every flavor is unreal...peach cobbler, apple cobbler, lemon, sweet potato, pecan, and last, sweet potato&pecan are ALL delectable. Muy delicioso!! Grab a dozen and enjoy...

Thank You Gwen's Cakes for my delicious Chocolate Marble Birthday Cake! My guests raved over it! The frosting was so good, I forgot to get some ice cream!

Red velvet sheet cake with a photo image for a birthday party… the cake was beautiful as well as moist and delicious.

Cakes to die for. You will want a second piece of cake. Look out Susie's because Gwen is in town and doing great in her baking of Pies and Cakes. Love you in Inglewood keep it up Gwen.

The mini sweet potato, mini pecan, and mini lemon tarts were delicious. I will definitely be back and highly recommend Gwen's Specialty Cakes
