About

About SusieCakes

SusieCakes was founded in 2006 by Susan Sarich, a Chicago native who left the corporate world to pursue her passion for baking. The name comes from her childhood nickname, and the recipes come from her grandmothers' 3×5 handwritten recipe cards — a collection she spent years preserving and perfecting before opening her first California bakery. The concept was simple: bake everything from scratch every single day, use the best possible ingredients, and never take shortcuts.

The bakery quickly became a destination in Southern California, earning a devoted following for its classic layer cakes, cupcakes, and cookies. SusieCakes expanded to multiple states — including Texas and Illinois — while maintaining the same from-scratch ethos at every location. Every item is made with slow-churned butter, whole milk, fresh eggs, and premium Guittard chocolate, sourced for quality rather than price. The bakery avoids stabilizers, artificial flavors, and preservatives, which is why items are baked fresh daily and meant to be enjoyed soon after purchase.

In 2026 SusieCakes is celebrating its 20th anniversary, a milestone that reflects the enduring appeal of timeless, honest baking. The brand now ships select cakes nationwide so customers across the country can experience the same flavors that built its reputation. Whether it's a birthday Red Velvet, a summer Key Lime Pie, or a simple chocolate chip cookie, SusieCakes positions every item as a celebration of the people and memories that inspired it.
