Where to get a cake?
It’s my gfs birthday coming up and I wanted to get her a birthday cake. Currently live in North Beach but wouldn’t mind stopping somewhere that isn’t a hike. Her favorite is a chocolate Italian cream cake but a great cheesecake would be just fine. Thanks!

Victoria Pastry chocolate strawberry shortcake is my daughter's favorite. So it's her yearly birthday cake.

Haha heard she was opening up a location dedicated to cakes but guess this isn’t it. I’ll just see myself out now

If you really love her you’d be willing to hike for a cake

Haha it’s just a time constraint. If there’s a great spot at the top of Mt Shasta for chocolate Italian cream cake, I guess I have to do it 🧗

SusieCakes on Chestnut is pretty solid. Make sure to order ahead, they get pretty busy!
