Let Them Eat Cake - Davis

My wife and I have wonderful memories of enjoying desserts from Let Them Eat Cake during our time in college in Davis. When it came time to plan our wedding, we knew we wanted to support a local business that we knew and loved, and Let Them Eat Cake was the perfect choice. Alyssa is incredibly talented and dedicated to creating delicious desserts. We had a great time sampling all the amazing cake flavors that Let Them Eat Cake had to offer. On our wedding day, Alyssa went above and beyond by not only making multiple flavored cakes for us, but also creating a special Strawberry Milkshake inspired cupcake in honor of my wife's late grandmother. The cakes and cupcakes were beautifully presented and were a hit with our wedding guests. If you have a specific flavor in mind, Alyssa can definitely make it happen, as she did for us. Let Them Eat Cake offers a wide variety of mouthwatering desserts to satisfy everyone's tastes, including options for vegans. We highly recommend this place whether you're looking for a delicious treat or planning desserts for your next special event!

I decided to visit this restaurant on my way to celebrate my friend's birthday. I was surprised to find it located in a fraternity row. I really liked the atmosphere of the restaurant, as I could see a farmer's market nearby. Although I was hoping for cakes as well, they only had cupcakes available when I visited, possibly because I arrived late in the day. The bakery case was well-stocked overall, and the cupcakes were delicious. The only downside was that some of the frosting was a bit too sweet. Despite this, I would definitely return to this restaurant.

Great vegan cupcakes! 4/5 green stars also) On a Saturday afternoon there were no customers inside – perhaps they were all burned out after the farmers’ market. My feeling is that it’s a nice space and should have more custom – I know it’s summer break at UCD, but Temple Coffee was busy when I passed by. Here’s my unsolicited advice to LTEC: Perhaps what you need is some really good coffee to go with your cakes – good beans and a proper coffee counter. Also, put on some music – it’s too quiet. I bought their vegan S’mores cupcake to go $3.25). It turned out to be very good. Good texture, fresh, and with a decadent topping which is what a cupcake is all about). I don’t normally go for very sweet cakes, and although the topping was sweet I found it to be nicely balanced. Baked fresh, no preservatives, gluten-free also available and gluten-free vegan together). Recommended. I’m also giving Let Them Eat Cake 4/5 “green stars” for social and environmental impact, based on these reasons: •They have vegan offerings that are well-made. •The chap was going to pack my cupcake into a plastic clamshell until I said I’d just take it as-is. I know that it’s fairly common to pack cupcakes like this but it would be nice if they had a simple cardboard box instead. •They can make organic cupcakes upon request. •Can also use cage-free eggs upon request. I’ll stick with their vegan cupcakes. •Partake in fund-raising activities in the community. Ever written a green star review? Please contact me if you have done so, or if you’d like to know more!

I love the atmosphere and that you can order custom bakes but my custom GF cupcake really tasted grainy. I understand GF items don't taste as good as their glutinous counterparts but it felt as if there was no cake texture. It was a let down as the cupcake was for my birthday.

We had a wonderful GF cake made for our wedding, and we were not disappointed. The flavor was there and the cake was not dry like other GF cakes can be. And the decorations were exactly what we asked for.
