Party Cakes

The Vintage Tea Leaf
serves delicious, high-quality
desserts. However, we understand that, for theme
parties, you may desire a special cake for dramatic
visual presentation.
The Vintage Tea Leaf
accepts cakes from only three
licensed bakeries in our area:
• Creative Cakery, 562-493-6550
• Rossmoor Pastries, 562-498-2253
• The Great Dane Baking Co., 562-493-6899
To protect the welfare
of the guests, all cakes
must come from one of the licensed bakeries
listed above, and be in the bakery box, with the
seal intact, upon arrival at the Vintage Tea Leaf.
There is a cutting charge of $2.00 per person for
special cakes. If you have selected the Queens of
High Tea or the Tea of Decadence, we will substitute
your special cake for the dessert, and waive the
cutting charge. |
