Mango cake is one of my favourite cake flavours and it’s the kind of cake that I enjoy for celebratory and everyday occasions.
I’ve tried my share of good and bad mango cakes and I would say the biggest difference usually comes down to how good the mangos are. The good mango cakes choose the most perfectly, ripe and sweet mangos while the bad cakes choose less ripe and less sweet mangos.
Here is my round-up of where to get a mango cake in Metro Vancouver broken down by the ones I recommend and ones that are offered elsewhere but I have not yet tried.

My recommendations
Gary Patisserie
Gary Patisserie offers the most beautiful mango cake in this city with beautiful mango slices arranged to resemble a rose pattern. This is my top recommendation for a mango cake in Metro Vancouver.
Gary Patisserie’s mango cake is a fluffy, three-tier sponge cake wrapped with soft, sweet and juicy fresh mangoes. It tasted really fresh, sweet, delicious and makes for a nice dessert anytime.
His mango cakes are in 4″ ($35), 6″ ($40), 8″ ($50) and 10″ ($95) sizes. You can order from Gary online and he is based out of YVR Prep, a commissary kitchen. You can pickup or have the cake delivered for an additional fee.

Mango Yummy
Mango Yummy offers seasonal mango cakes including Mango Dome & Strawberry Mango.
I recently visited their new brick and mortar store in Richmond to pickup the Mango Dome. This is the cake for every mango lover featuring 2 layers of spone cake, Chantilly cream filling and fresh mango mixture. The outside of the cake is topped with freshly sliced mangoes.
I preordered online ahead (minimum one day) and paid in cash. They don’t sell slices just whole cakes in 4”, 6” or 8.”

Yan Bakery
Yan Bakery, a humble custom-cake only bakery in a strip mall on East Hastings, owned and operated by Helen Yan. They are known for good quality cakes at reasonable prices and seems to rely on word of mouth for advertising.
We enjoyed the fresh mango cake which was light, fluffy and also lightly sweet. There is no glaze on the mangos so you really get that fresh, mango taste. A 6” is $32. Cash only.
