Wow, this is a review I thought I had done last year and just noticed I had not Yelped Freed's Bakery as of yet! Shame on me!
My first experience with Freed's bakery was 14 years ago when we made a visit to Las Vegas from San Diego for my Sister's birthday. I recall my Mom contacting them at the last minute once we had arrived in town for a b-day cake for my little Sister. They of course came through and prepared an awesome 8 inch round marble cake with vanilla butter cream frosting (real butter cream not the shortening filled sweet artificial frosting). It was decorated so pretty and ready when they said it would be even on short notice.
My second experience with them happened to be during a visit to Las Vegas from Los Angeles with my ex-hubby to celebrate our 5 year Anniversary. I thought a nice treat would be to order a cake for our celebration. I ordered an 8 inch round marble cake with vanilla butter cream frosting decorated and personalized for our Anniversary. Once again they came through on time as promised. During our stay we kept it in the refrigerator in our hotel room and drove it back home with us to LA and it was fine.
Their staff is so helpful and truly know their stuff! They have great ideas and really take that extra step to make what you want or need happen.
Thank you for all of the great cakes and memories Freed's bakery!
Tip: When ordering white butter cream frosting always make sure you specify "real butter cream" as in "butter". They have two types, a traditional real butter cream (Ivory color tint) and a shortening butter cream (stark white) usually for birthday cakes. I like the taste of butter more than shortening it makes a world of difference!
