Where to find the best cakes in Houston

Since today is my birthday, I decided to do a post on where to find some of the best cakes in Houston. So here is the short list in no particular order:

• Leduc Gourmet Baker located on Bellaire Blvd. between Kirkwood and Boone just west of the Hong Kong shopping center has some of the best Vietnamese-French cakes in the business and for a reasonable price, too. Since the French colonized Indochina some centuries ago, the fine French way of cooking has definitely left its imprint on Vietnamese cuisine, and this does not exclude the pastries and cakes which Leduc does a fine job of producing. Their most popular cake (and one of my favorites is a coffee cake with mocha icing topped with fresh strawberries and lined with almond slivers. I grew up with my mother buying a similar cake from another nearby bakery, and it always sends me on a nostalgic run every time I eat the stuff. John and I also ordered our wedding cake from Leduc; at $2.25 per slice, it was one of the better deals we could find for such a delicious cake. We got two flavors: (1) coffee cake layered with chocolate truffle and mocha butter cream (for the chocolate lovers), and (2) amaretto cake with raspberry jam filling (for the fruit lovers).
• Whole Foods, the Austin-based grocery store specializing in organic products, makes a berry chantilly cake that is also super-delish. There are fresh berries on top with cream cheese icing, and the cake is ever moist. The best part is it's made from all organic ingredients so you know you aren't getting overly processed stuff in your system. My friend, Joanna, ordered the berry chantilly sheet cakes for her wedding, and I've never heard anyone not like the cake. Thanks, Jeanette, for first feeding me this cake for my birthday many years ago.
• Take the Cake is a bakery that I haven't had as much experience with but I've heard great things about it. I've had one cake from there that my cousin brought for Christmas lunch last year, and I do remember it was yummy. I've heard many like their Hummingbird cake (a springtime dessert with banana, pineapple, and pecan cream cheese icing--I know it sounds weird), so I might order it for my mama-in-law for our Mother's Day/my birthday dinner this weekend.

Where do you get your favorite cake?
