Crave Dessert Company

Crave is the perfect name for this bakery, as Heather’s creations have me stopping by every time I’m within a few miles of this spot to satiate my sweet tooth.
My current favorites are the chocolate pecan brookies (brownie outside, cookie inside and delicious all the way through) and the German chocolate brownies.
The chocolate bourbon pecan pie I purchased here and brought to a Thanksgiving party was a total hit, and I can’t wait to try her cakes when the occasion presents itself.
If you have a sweet tooth and enjoy creative desserts, you have to try Crave. Just make sure and save me some!

I was looking for a bakery to bake my fathers 85^th birthday cake. I went online and found Crave Dessert Company. I read all the rave reviews!!! I was out of town and sent an email. I received and email the next day. When I got back into town I called. Heather answered the phone. I gave my name and she immediately knew who I was. She was very pleasant and personable! I ordered the Lemon Drop Cake. I had a date that I ended up changing 3 times! Each time I called she was like no problem, we will have it ready! She totally understood and accommodated me.
The Lemon Drop Cake was fantastic!!! Absolutely delicious! And was a hit with all of the family!
Heather thank you so much! I truly appreciate your time and baking expertise!!! I will be back! And I will definitely be recommending Crave Dessert Company to everyone!

Heather is awesome! Love the brownies.
If you are ordering a cake make sure to call in your order 24 hours ahead of your pick up date.

Found this little hidden jem in Culver City while looking through Unilocal,so asked my husband if he wanted to go on a little food adventure, glad he said yes. This place was very much worth the trek from Monterey Park to Culver City, this little bakeries brownies are amazing, the mocha rice pudding was so good that it rendered me speechless and they have this thing called a «Brookie» OMG… that is enough for me to drive back to Culver City during the week to get. I can’t express with words on how good this place is, all I can really say is if your ever in Culver City drop by and grabs some baked goods you won’t be disappointed.

Amazing cake — amazing service! I even forgot to tell them I needed gluten free and in the middle of making the cake they stopped and started making a new one that was made the way I needed it — it was also beautiful — not too sweet — really high quality buttercream icing — just delicious! And it was huge and generous — fed my whole party and then I was able to give some to take home! We will definitely be back here! I crave more crave! :)

I am lucky & spoiled to say that Crave is walking distance from our office location.
I recommend the brownie box.
You can build your own, choosing the flavors you’d like or buy a box that’s ready to eat.
Salted Caramel and Espresso were among my favorites, but by far, German Chocolate stole the show. It simply just melted with it’s flavors in my mouth.
I can’t say that about ALL German Chocolate things, sometimes it can be over powering sweet, but this one was pleasant.

Heather is an amazing pastry Chef. Very creative with unique flavors and natural ingredients. Loved her pumpkin cake. Will be back!

i found out about Crave via the Venice Farmer’s weeks ago and I’ve been going since then for my weekly sweet fix. They’re very generous with their samples and am impressed with their customer services.
I had:
1. Brownies (chipotle, peanut butter, salted caramel) — my favorites are the chipotle and salted caramel. the texture is on the fudgier side.
2. Rice pudding ($ 3) — i had the coconut cinnamon and mocha. big fan of this also.
3. Tea cakes– i’ve tried a couple of their tea cakes but i always go back to the brown butter/​pumpkin. i didn’t particularly like the devil’s food cake.
Additional Info: Their plaza is right next to the Dunkin Donuts (formerly Foster’s). Their store has parking in the back that you can access from Washington Blvd.

Heather is a dream to work with and her cakes, cookies and brownies are delectable. For my fiancé’s birthday, I ordered a cookie and brownie platter customized to my liking and some of the tea cakes. She twisted her menu to satisfy his love of peanut butter and my love for chocolate.
The blue corn sugar cookies were my favorite, so buttery with the perfect amount of sweet. I also LOVED the PB&J cookies, brown butter cake, and salted caramel brownie. There actually wasn’t a bite I didn’t enjoy.
Considering using them for a dessert bar at our wedding. Lovely to work with and pure deliciousness.

We were looking for the best German Chocolate Cake in Los Angeles and I believe we found it, it was amazing! Multiple layers, chocolate frosting had the perfect balance of sweetness and creaminess. The cake was moist and delicious, hands down my favorite.

Amazing for a quick treat or an entire cake. The staff is incredible and extremely helpful. The short cashier — I believe — was so helpful, and was cute to boot!
What I like most about this place is their accommodation to food allergies. A number of their signature items are exclusively gluten free (brown butter pumpkin cake was the best thing I’ve had in awhile), and there is plenty for those with nut allergies. I’d recommend this to anybody.

Stopped into Crave today to order a cake for my husband’s birthday, time. Heather, who is always a pleasure to speak with, sen is home with a slice of her Almond Joy pie.
While we are looking forward to his birthday Hazelnut Chocolate Bundt Cake, the Almond Joy pie was the most amazing tribute to my my most favorite candy bar ever!
It was surprisingly light, the chocolate was high quality, and the crust was so delicious. Sorry, no picture this time. I was so excited to dive in, I actually forgot!

Crave Dessert Company was the BEST find I could have dreamed off while planning our wedding… I can’t recommend enough; I want the world and every bride out there to know, you have hit the jackpot. Seriously, if you are planning a wedding, a celebration or anything please go & see Heather. After shopping around for a while we came across Crave Dessert Company. LOVE from moment we took our first bite at our cake tasting. It is seriously the perfect combination of flavors in your mouth. She made the most beautiful dessert table for our wedding. It surpassed all of my dreams & expectations. All of the guests were raving about the cake and desserts! Yes, because even though we were doing a small wedding I wanted cake and desserts too ;o). Heather made it all work within our budget which is also another major plus. The quality & love you get when you go to Crave Dessert Company is incomparable. If you are blessed enough to come around this place; don’t think just go. You’ll be forever grateful like I am. Crave Dessert Company is my go to place for any event big or small.
PS can’t wait to eat the top tier of our cake next year. the yumminess awaits.

I emailed on a FRIDAY at 6 PM to see if I could pick up a birthday cake for son-​in-​law on SUNDAY around noon and Heather couldn’t have been nicer! She made a DELICIOUS ¼ sheet cake, 2 layers with an amazing lemon filling that was just like lemon meringue pie. People couldn’t stop raving! The cake texture was not too crumbly, so it was super easy to slice it. We had almost half left after serving about 20 people, so there was plenty! Beautifully done and I can’t believe how accommodating Heather was about this last-​minute project! Crave Dessert Co. is now my go-​to bakery!

Literally stumbled in here today after my eyebrow appointment next door.
A tiny little store front with a lovely baker inside. She right away offered me a sample which duh I took. Rice pudding-​really good.
Although she said they are known for the brownies, I went with what caught my eye when I walked in.
Brown Sugar Pumpkin tea cake– looked good, with pumpkin seeds on top.
Asked for a recommendation of what else was popular and she suggested the Tres Leche.
Popped open the container just now to dive in. My boyfriend says, I don’t like tres Leche, but I make him try it. Instant mmmmmmmm’s. It was this well balanced, perfectly wet mocha tasting piece of heaven.
Then we tried the pumpkin tea cake. Omg so good, at first you taste the pumpkin, the crunch of the pumpkin seeds, and then the brown butter hits. Perfectly moist and so good.
I can’t wait to try everything else! Love that this bakery is here within walking distance from Marina del Rey

Crave catered the Unilocal Masquerade Ball and everything was a hit. The cupcakes were light and the frosting creamy without being heavy. The candies and dessert bites were incredible. Had I not been completely stuffed, I would have gone crazy on everything.
The presentation was beautiful and professional as well.
Definitely have Crave cater your event!

I haven’t actually been to crave dessert company, but I recently went to a really nice event where crave dessert company catered desserts for, and I have to say that not only are their desserts, which include cake pops, cupcakes, chocolate sweets, and more, absolutely delicious, but they’re all very professionally made. Very big props for making such great desserts, and I really hope to try more of your creations in the future! For those of you interested in having them cater, they’ll do very nicely for any wedding or corporate event!

Unilocal has continuously been my friend, pretty much on a daily basis. I was looking for a cake and happily discovered Crave. I immediately feel in love with the German chocolate cake picture. I ordered it with Heather and she was absolutely so lovely and accommodating. I love supporting local shops. My cake was a hit. Even those guests who don’t like nuts or coconuts enjoyed it! Thank you, I will be back!

As the sister of someone who is having a difficult time coming to terms with celiac, Crave is a godsend!!! A lot of gluten-​free desserts can taste a little grainy, even at g-​free specialty places like Babycakes, but the brown butter pumpkin cake at Crave was so fluffy and moist I couldn’t believe it was gluten-​free. My sister who has celiac called it the best gluten-​free dessert she’s ever tasted.
The marble cake cup is also super delicious, as are the brownies (which I’m very picky about). I would comment on the apple cake and sock-​it-​to-​me cake that I brought home but my family ate all three pieces before I woke up this morning… (I licked a little crumb of the apple cake left on the plate bc I was so desperate… it was yummy… pls don’t judge me)
Also I agree with another commenter about the cashier but I believe her name was Erne. So nice and helpful!

Amazing for a quick treat or an entire cake. The staff is incredible and extremely helpful. The short cashier — Erme, I believe — was so helpful, and was cute to boot!
What I like most about this place is their accommodation to food allergies. A number of their signature items are exclusively gluten free (brown butter pumpkin cake was the best thing I’ve had in awhile), and there is plenty for those with nut allergies.
