Welcome to Valentine Sweets

Cakes & Cupcakes Made with Care and Quality

Woman & Disability-Owned | Inclusive Bakery | Gluten-Free, Vegan & Diabetic-Friendly | Premium Ingredients

Welcome to Valentine Sweets, a Los Angeles bakery creating delicious, inclusive desserts for everyone. Founded by Chef Marianna, a woman entrepreneur and disability advocate, Valentine Sweets specializes in cakes, cupcakes, and sweets that are gluten-free, vegan, and diabetic-friendly. Our mission is to ensure every guest—whether at birthdays, weddings, or gatherings—can enjoy a beautifully crafted treat without compromising on taste, design, or dietary needs.

We take pride in using high-quality, premium ingredients, including select organic eggs, butter, and other components, to craft desserts that delight both the palate and the eye. Every creation reflects our dedication to inclusivity, accessibility, and community, bringing people together through the joy of dessert.

While our menu currently focuses on online ordering, pickup, and local delivery, we look forward to reintroducing fan favorites like our beloved tea cakes and cookies. These creations began in Chef Marianna’s kitchen and continue to reflect her passion for quality and thoughtful ingredient choices.

For now, you can visit our former storefront in Old Pasadena to pick up ready-made cakes and cupcakes daily (check Art Lunch’s hours on Google), or order custom and standard-design cakes directly through our website or by phone. Follow us on Instagram to stay updated on new creations, seasonal specials, and exclusive offers.

Our Promise
