Welcome to Lark Cake Shop!
Lark Cake Shop opened in 2007 on an unlikely stretch of Sunset Blvd. We started with the idea of baking cakes, cupcakes, cookies, pies and bars that would be inspired by the bohemian modern esthetic of Silver Lake. The “look” of our baked goods would be stylized and simple, refined yet interesting. The taste; delicious and homemade. In early 2025 we were preparing to open our Altadena location and until the Eaton Fire drastically changed our plans. We are in the process of rebuilding that location and look forward to its re-opening in 2026!
We specialize in the rich, sweet and delicious. Whenever possible we use the freshest locally produced or distributed ingredients in our products. We crack our own eggs every day. We do not use liquid eggs or other food service shortcuts. We use top of the line gourmet ingredients in all our recipes. Our dairy supplier is the Challenge Dairy Cooperative, a cooperative of more than 600 California dairies. We try to minimize our environmental footprint by using compostable cups, clamshell boxes, utensils and straws. We also use paper bags and boxes whenever possible.
Family owned and operated, Lark Cake Shop is committed to serving the finest baked goods available and providing unmatched customer service. We look forward serving you!
Frequently Asked Questions
Because the majority of our cupcakes are made with perishable ingredients, they must be kept cold. While cold, the cupcakes are not as moist or creamy as they are at room temperature. We recommend that you allow the cupcakes to come to room temperature before enjoying them. This will allow the cake to return its natural moistness and the frostings to return their natural creaminess.
Circumstances will dictate, but we recommend no longer than an hour.
We make 6″ and 8″ cakes fresh daily in a variety of flavors for walk-in customers. However, there is no guarantee what we’ll have on a day-to-day basis. If you need a specific cake, it is best to call ahead and place an order.

Yes, but because our recipe makes 24 mini-cupcakes and we don’t sell them in the shop, they must be ordered in lots of 24 of the same flavor at least a day in advance in most instances.
It’s never too early to order! Because all of our products are made by hand, we can only produce so much everyday. To assure your order can be fulfilled, please call in advance.
