Beautiful and delicious, Lark Cake Shop opened in July of 2007 on an unlikely stretch of Sunset Blvd. James and Colleen Standish started with the idea of baking cakes, cupcakes, cookies, pies and bars that would be inspired by the bohemian modern aesthetic of Silver Lake. The “look” of their baked goods would be stylized and simple, refined yet interesting; the taste, delicious and homemade.

Lark Cake Shop specializes in the rich, sweet and delicious. Whenever possible they always use the freshest locally produced or distributed ingredients in their products. They crack their own eggs every day and never use liquid eggs or other food service shortcuts. They use Callebaut chocolate and Dutch cocoa powder in their chocolate recipes and Madagascar Bourbon vanilla in their vanilla recipes.

All of Lark’s dairy products are rBST and rBGH (bovine growth hormone) free, supplied by the Challenge Dairy Cooperative, a cooperative of more than 600 California dairies. They try to minimize their environmental footprint by using only compostable cups, clamshell boxes, utensils and straws as well as paper bags and boxes whenever possible.

As residents of Silver Lake for more than 20 years, the founders envisioned a local business that would keep them close to their growing family and provide a service to their friends and neighbors. They joined forces with local pastry chef Sarah Hirata and architect Ana Henton to make the ‘Lark Cake Shop’ concept a reality. They collected all their best recipes and unique designs and transformed an upholstery shop on Sunset Boulevard into what is now Lark Cake Shop.
