With the number of special occasions that tourists celebrate while visiting Las Vegas, it comes as no surprise that local bakeries are singularly equipped to produce impressively designed and beautifully baked cakes. When looking for wedding cakes or a special-ordered dessert for a birthday party, bake shops around the Las Vegas Valley whip up fluffy rounds of vanilla and red velvet, just right for layers of buttercream or Italian meringue. And then there are the Las Vegas restaurants that have perfected the art of the multi-layer super decadent chocolate cake. Whether looking ahead to order a celebratory cake or merely capping a Wednesday night dinner with a just-because slice, here are the best spots in Las Vegas for a tiered masterpiece or a special treat.

Cakes in surprising flavors and fun designs are available daily until they sell out. Celebrate special occasions with a cookie dough cake — layers of chocolate chip cake with cookie dough frosting and decorated with a drip of ganache. Layers of moist and fluffy confetti cake get slathered in pink vanilla frosting and a white chocolate drip with edible glitter. And then there’s one creation that looks exactly like a cheeseburger. Most flavors are also available in cupcake form.

This family-owned bakery specializes in occasion-specific cakes — with flavors of cake and frosting, plus myriad designs, all available for custom creations.

You’ll find a design. And, if not, fill out a form to get your exact vision made real in three layers of cake and Italian meringue buttercream.

This classic Las Vegas bakery is a favorite for a reason. Cakes here are tall, bordered with crumb, piped with zig-zagging swirls of buttercream, and layered with fluffy tiers. The standout is the strawberry shortcake. Rounds of white cake are iced with whipped cream and sweet strawberries — its tall layers joyously delicate and fluffy.

End your meal of hamachi crudo and Korean fried chicken with a thick wedge of Mom’s Coconut Cake. The cake itself is unexpectedly moist — super flavorful and dense enough to stand up to thick cream cheese frosting. Coconut flakes keep things a little crunchy. The slice is big enough to share — not that you’ll want to.

Paris Baguette

Cakes at this French-style bakery are so delicately decorated, they hardly appear real. Frosting is spread until perfectly smooth, berries are placed just so, and dollops of frosting are painstaking in their uniformity. A blueberry chiffon cake is stark white except for cones of lilac cream and berries. A mocha cake is filled with mocha buttercream, coated in chocolate, and topped with buttercream and caramel — all in the shape of a cappuccino.

The 20-Layer Chocolate Cake at this Italian restaurant and party brunch hot spot is one of the most popular desserts on the menu. It starts with super fudgey slices of devil’s food cake, each meticulously iced with a layer of creamy peanut butter marscapone. Then the 20 layers get covered in a sheen of ganache. A slice satisfies two to three people — but nothing is stopping you from ordering the whole thing.

Leave it to Buddy Valastro, the Cake Boss, himself — to make a good cake. At Valastro’s Las Vegas bakery, order cakes like his iconic rainbow creation with six layers of rainbow-colored vanilla cake filled with sweet vanilla icing and covered with rainbow sprinkles. Or order the carrot cake made with freshly shredded carrots and finely chopped walnuts in a cream cheese icing. Note that the vending machine versions of this cake are no substitute — you want to order from the bakery, itself.

Real chocolate lovers know that this cake is a big deal. Save room at this steakhouse for dessert, in the form of a thick slice of chocolate cake. This is ten layers of cake brushed with Bailey’s Irish cream to keep things moist, then filled with chocolate mousse and enrobed in rich and silky ganache.

Just because this bakery is French, you don’t have to get a cake that looks like a Louis Vuitton box or a bottle of Champagne — but what a delight to know that you can. For cakes more suited to the every day, go instead for a super rich red velvet fudge cake coated with crumb or one filled with fresh berries and bordered by toasted almond slices.

With 24 layers of rich, creamy chocolate, this cake weighs in at an impressive 18 pounds — each individual slice is one and a half. Inside Strip House at Planet Hollywood, layers of chocolate cake get a coating of chocolate filling. And the whole cake is enrobed in French semisweet chocolate ganache.

Suzuya Patisserie

Copy Link

This Japanese bakery specializes in cakes that offer a subtle sweetness and delicate texture. Far from the scope of rich, heavy cakes, this patisserie hones recipes that produce the style of cakes more common in Japan. A soft chiffon cake is layered with coconut custard cream and swaddled in chantilly cream and coconut flakes. And 16 layers of crepes are spread with matcha cream and red bean cream for a sweet and pleasantly bitter millecrepe cake.
