May's Cake House - Unveiling Authentic Chinese Bakery Delights in Boston

We got the mango mousse cake for a birthday. It came in a big box tied off with ribbon and two little candles taped to the box. We opted for no writing on the cake because we prefer the fruit top. It should be pretty obvious to the birthday person whose cake it is anyways. I liked that the cake was barely sweet, there was no frosting on the outside! Just thinly sliced fresh mango. The combo of the mango and the slightly sweet cake is the right amount of dessert for me. The cake is slightly denser than Western cake— same texture as angel food cake but not nearly as sweet. The 9-inch cake was more than sufficient for 8 people. Highly recommend; it’s beautiful, tasty and unique.

This is a must go to family owned local bakery! This is the spot I always go to for pastries and iced coffee milk tea! The shrimp noodles sell out fast here. This spot makes the freshest fruit cake and guarantee that it’ll be loved! The cakes are baked so fresh, lightly sweetened and so soft with every bite! Love, love, love it here! They also show support to local community based organizations, too!

We got our wedding cake here because this place means a lot to me growing with this bakery near my house. So of course my wedding cake would be from Mays. This cake was not just beautiful, it was so delicious. I am so happy I got my wedding cake here. 10/10

Friendly staff and quick service. I’ve been going here for the past 3-4 years and they have never failed me. They were able to make my order the day after I called in. My go-to for ordering birthday cakes are the Durian 1/2 sheet cake and the signature Mango Mousse cake. The cakes here are never too sweet just the way I enjoy my cakes. Since I didn’t want any writing on my cake they decorated with delicious fruits which was awesome.

Best cake around! As close to Eldo’s (that closed) as possible. Worth the drive. I took the cake up to Maine for a celebration and the party loved it!

Got the Strawberry 9 inch cake as a birthday and I'd definitely get it again! Its a typical asian style cake thats light and slightly spongy. The taste is pretty good and not too sweet. Its December, so the strawberries weren't in season and weren't that sweet, it would likely be a lot better of you got as a summer cake. I did wish they applied a little more cream on the cake as the sides only had a thin layer covering it.

Love their cakes, especially mango mouse! Fluffy sponge cake, light cream with just enough sweetness but not overly diabetic sugarly sweet. And their rice cake is such a filling breakfast/brunch.

Absolutely beautiful cake ! So happy with the outcome. Called in and picked up within 24 hours. Ladies at the counter were so kind and welcoming. Also picked up a few egg tarts and fried sticky rice, boyfriend devoured before I could take a picture will be returning for future occasions !
