Default Custom Cakes

Can anyone recommend a good bakery for a custom cake, preferably one in the NW that makes a good Tiramisu? Nothing too fancy, just looking to get one with a photo printed on it and some Happy Birthday writing

https://www.amandinebakery.net/ - On Centre Street and 25th Ave.

We got a couple of cakes here for my parents' 50th Anniversary a few years ago. They were very good. We didn't get Tiramisu, but they do have it on their menu.

Amandine is really good. You might also try the Italian Store or Lina's. I am not really sure if anybody puts writing on Tiramisu though?

Ditto for Amandine. Been using them since the 1980s. Their bavarian cream is a personal favourite.

we only use cakeworks in the NE by 32nd ave/Barlow.
They do customized hand drawn cakes, but their designs are pretty basic, but their cakes/fillings, are the best.

For a regular Tiramisu, you're probably well-advised to go to Amandine. Just don't ask them to decorate anything - we went to them for my son's birthday cake a couple years ago... the cake tasted great, but it looked like he decorated it himself - he was turning 2. Very disappointing.

Thanks for the Amandine suggestions, cake was great and the wife loved it. Only decorations I asked for was to write out happy birthday in Vietnamese and it came out great, accent characters and all

I made sure to wait until picking it up to have the writing done for that reason, along with spelling it out for him
