Custom Cakes & Baked Goods for La Mesa, the Jewel of the Hills
La Mesa, the Jewel of the Hills, sparkles with small-town character and community pride, and Auntie Lu's Bakery is proud to be part of its celebration culture. Our custom cakes have been the centerpiece of birthday parties overlooking the city from Mount Helix, our sourdough is a staple for families who walk around Lake Murray on Saturday mornings, and our cake pops have been a sweet tradition at La Mesa Oktoberfest and the Back to the '50s car show. Downtown La Mesa Village along La Mesa Boulevard is the kind of walkable, charming main street that makes you want to linger, and our baked goods are perfect for the cafes and gatherings that bring this village to life. Grossmont Center shoppers and Mount Helix sunset watchers alike trust us for celebrations big and small.
About La Mesa
La Mesa is a charming hillside city in San Diego's East County, fondly known as the Jewel of the Hills. Downtown La Mesa Village along La Mesa Boulevard features independent shops, restaurants, and a tree-lined walkability that recalls a classic American main street. Lake Murray, within Mission Trails Regional Park, is a beloved spot for walking, fishing, and morning jogs along its 3.2-mile path. Mount Helix, topped by its iconic amphitheater and cross, offers panoramic views of the surrounding valleys and is one of the most desirable residential areas in East County. La Mesa Oktoberfest is one of the largest in Southern California, and the Back to the '50s car show fills the Village with classic cars, music, and nostalgia. Grossmont Center provides major retail and dining along the 8 freeway.

“We got married at the Mount Helix amphitheater at sunset and Auntie Lu's elegant white-and-gold cake was perfect against that incredible view. A month later, she made Oktoberfest pretzel cake pops for our neighborhood party on La Mesa Boulevard. She does elegant and fun equally well.”— Heather & James W., La Mesa
Frequently Asked
Do you make themed desserts for La Mesa Oktoberfest and community events?
We do! La Mesa Oktoberfest and the Back to the '50s car show are two of our favorite events to bake for. We create pretzel-shaped cake pops, Bavarian cream cupcakes, and beer stein cakes for Oktoberfest, and cherry cola cupcakes, checkered flag cake pops, and classic car-themed cakes for the car show. During these popular event weekends, we recommend ordering at least two weeks in advance as demand is very high from La Mesa families and businesses.
