This little gem at the San Gabriel / Alhambra border has been Marlene's bakery of choice for years. Its simple, small storefront features a case with birthday cakes and other baked goods like sweet loaves and cupcakes. It also has several cases filled with figurines that serve as cake decorations.
Marlene got my chocolate birthday cake here (above), and it was delicious. Another standout is their strawberry sponge cake with a light whipped-cream frosting. They have delicious cookies as well, including their lemon cookies and their sugar-free rosebud cookies. Marlene's elementary-school teacher would buy Fortune Bakery's cookies as a treat for outstanding students. Finally, Marlene's friend Carmen loves their brownies, though we can't vouch for them ourselves.
You can call ahead to pre-order if you want to be sure that they'll have what you're looking for.
Find Fortune Bakery at 700 W. Las Tunas Dr (N. Franklin and Sycamore) in west San Gabriel. 626-576-0514.
