The Butter End Cakery Is Opening a Bakery in Santa Monica | Eater LA

"Pastry whiz Kimberly Bailey is opening the Butter End Cakery at 512 Wilshire Boulevard in Santa Monica at the end of June; she founded the business in 2010 and made a name crafting intricately decorated, sky-high cakes for a bevy of Hollywood clients and serving as a Food Network judge (Buddy vs. Duff 2 and Wedding Cake Championship). While best known for elaborate custom cakes, the bakery will also offer more approachable everyday sweets made using organic and locally sourced ingredients, including cakes by the slice, cupcakes, sweet and savory scones, sticky toffee pudding, chocolate bread pudding, butterscotch budino, brownies, and black-and-white cookies as an homage to her New York hometown, with sheet cakes and “every occasion” cakes decorated in Bailey’s award-winning style." - Cathy Chaplin

I cannot tell you how incredible and delicious our wedding cake cake was. We got married at Calamigos Ranch in August 2025 , 130 people. When we were trying cakes, my husband and I were traveling a lot and they were so patient with us. They gave us a 10-cake box sampler when we told them we needed to try our cakes while on the road. Let me tell you, we ate the whole entire box essentially in one sitting. For our cake, we ended up choosing coconut cake with passionfruit icing for 2 tiers and then a chocolate almond cherry for the other 2 tiers. It was so delicious. I am counting down the days until our first anniversary so I can eat the whole entire top that we saved! In addition, they were so nice, so lovely, and a great experience overall. I thought that they were also recently priced for such a well known company. In addition, the detailing of the cake was beautiful. I received so many compliments. I am a Physician Assistant and my husband is a Marine Pilot, which is the topper, and we are cutting the cake with his sword. THANK YOU BUTTER END!!!

Ordered a cake for my small wedding- confirmed multiple times with Sara regarding the design and colors of the cake to match our wedding colors (dark blue and orange). I even asked if they can provide a sketch of what they think the cake will look like to insure we are all on the same page. While the design is very beautiful- the colors we received were black/white/ and only a small amount of orange. Very disappointed to have spent $1000 on it :( even when I tried to extra follow up and confirm we are on the same page- which sadly we were not.

Wow, the Butter End is a dream! I loved the bakery that was there and I was so glad someplace as delicious as the Butter End opened here. Their cupcakes are so yummy - their butter cream frosting is perfection. I have had their custom sugar cookies at an event and wow. You need a sweet treat or want to tempt yourself for a treat or two, stop in! You won’t be disappointed!

We ordered the “pressed flower” 2 tier carrot cake with walnuts and cream cheese frosting for our July 2025 wedding. Cannot say enough great things about this cake! It was a huge hit with our guests. They delivered it to our venue in highland park on time and in tact for a very reasonable $100 fee. Can’t ask for more!

Really clean store. My wife shad the Raspberry Goat cheese macaron probably the best one she has ever had. Peanut butter cookie was ok.

Kimberly (owner and baker extraordinaire) created my wedding cake last October and it was STUNNING. Her cakes, cupcakes, cookies, scones are some of the best I’ve ever had not just in LA, but all over the world. She’s a joy to work with and as someone with a sweet tooth to rival any kid, I can tell you this is the only bakery I will ever go to now. Do yourself a favor and get the chocolate cherry almond and coconut passionfuit flavors. The best!!!

Yum! Gorgeous, elevated cupcakes that bring unique flavors to the scene. I love that they have the classics - but also unexpected gems like my new favorite: the coconut cupcake with passion fruit frosting. My other favorite was the apple pie snickerdoodle cookie. It’s a sweet tooth utopia and there’s something for everyone!!!

Butter End made the cake for my wedding and it was a huge hit! Multiple people told me it was the best wedding cake they’ve ever had (including the fussiest person I know!). They were also super easy to work with!
