Flouring Cake Shop, 932 N Hill St, Los Angeles (Chinatown), CA 90012
I’ve been wondering when Flouring would open and on a recent visit to Chinatown, it was open. The shop opened about a month ago. It’s a cute small shop with cake slices, cookies, donuts, and whole cakes. They also sell mugs, trays, party supplies, piping tips, measuring cups and spoons, cake candles, cake toppers, cake pedestals, etc.
As for the rectangular cake slices, a few kinds were sold out. I spotted Belgian dark chocolate, passion fruit, cookies & cream, wildberry, black sesame, and superfetti vanilla. The slices all looked perfectly uniform and expertly decorated.
Black sesame cake slice ($7.75): The cake slice featured a layer of black sesame cake, a light buttercream, a layer of crunchy black sesame butter/spread, another layer of cake, a thin layer of buttercream, and a sprinkle of black sesame seeds. The cake was very moist and seemed to have black sesame in it. The black sesame spread is very strong, so it overpowers the other flavors. Fortunately, the black sesame spread is also very good – nutty, crunchy, and not super sweet.
Chocolate chip cookie ($4.50): A medium sized cookie, it looked great and had a lot of chocolate but the texture was pretty uniform (soft) and it wasn’t as flavorful as the better chocolate chip cookies. It’s also overpriced given the size, compared other bakeries.
There were a few tables and chairs outside and no indoor seating.
