"To fully understand Karolyn Plummer’s Sweet Red Peach bakery, look at the name. Sweet stands for sweet potato pie, red is a nod to red velvet cake, and peach stands for peach cobbler — a stunning creation that must be consumed warm for full enjoyment. All, and more, are available at any location in Inglewood, Torrance, and Riverside County. In 2025, Plummer has new outlets opening in Santa Clarita, West LA, and Pasadena." - Mona Holmes
"A bakery offering classic desserts like blue velvet cake and 7-Up cake with new locations opening soon." - Rebecca Roland
"Find Los Angeles’s finest red velvet cake at Sweet Red Peach in Inglewood and Menifee. Owner Karolyn Plummer’s recipe is so popular that customers line up daily for a slice of the bestselling dessert. The cake, which comes in a classic red hue or vibrant blue, is moist with generous layers of cream cheese frosting. — Mona Holmes, reporter" - Cathy Chaplin, Eater Staff
"Located in Inglewood, Sweet Red Peach is a family-run bakery specializing in cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and more. They’re currently offering their entire menu for curbside pick-up, which includes their excellent sweet potato cake (if it hasn’t already sold out). Open Monday-Saturday 11am-8pm and Sundays 11am-5pm." - brant cox
"Sweet Red Peach is an Inglewood landmark that’s home to LA’s best red velvet cake. Each thick slice is appropriately dense yet implausibly light, giving the silky cream cheese frosting several spongy, ruby-colored layers to cling onto. This strip mall spot is also rightly famous for its German chocolate cake and personal pans of peach cobbler. Don’t be intimidated if the line is out the door—they’re extremely efficient. Sweet Red Peach has been managing crowds of loyal customers (and occasionally Stevie Wonder) for twenty-plus years. Plan to get there before 3pm, when they start selling out of their more popular pastries and cakes. " - nikko duren, sylvio martins
