Al Madina Pastry, 9626 Venice Blvd, Culver City, CA 90232, US

Some businesses spend millions of dollars on advertising, but Cake Divas literally did its advertising through word of mouth—one bite at a time. Its specialty creations appear at some of Hollywood's most celebrated events. The owner, baker and Diva, Leigh Grode, has also built her reputation by appearing on the TLC show, Cake Boss, as a judge. If you wish to have something truly special created for your event, check out the Web site for photos of past work. There isn't a theme or idea that can't be turned into a prize-fighting sugar masterpiece at Cake Divas.
