Sweet Red Peach

Red velvet is the cake that made the name, and peach cobbler is close behind it. Sweet Red Peach is a family-owned Inglewood bakery built around cakes, cobblers, pies and cupcakes rather than a sit-down café.

Scratch-made Southern desserts

The house works in the language of celebration cakes, Southern cobblers, cupcakes and pies. The signature set is specific: red velvet cake, German chocolate cake, peach cobbler and sweet potato pie, with cupcakes carrying the same cake-shop appeal in a smaller format. There is no bread programme here, no laminated pastry and no named sourcing protocol; the whole business is aimed at sweets built for birthdays, gatherings, game-day tables and takeout boxes.

Family ownership shapes the rest. The founder still leads the company, and consistency across the dessert list matters more than seasonal reinvention, which is why the same handful of cakes has carried the bakery from one shop to several.

A small Inglewood bakery with a busy case

Treat this as a focused dessert stop with counter service rather than a place to sit. There is no seating, so the visit centres on the case and the order: colourful cakes, cupcakes, cobblers and pies, with red velvet and peach cobbler doing most of the reputational work.

The Inglewood shop is the original and the flagship, and its closeness to SoFi Stadium adds a second rhythm to the week. Around big sporting moments the bakery has leaned into themed desserts, including Super Bowl specials in 2022, which tied the sweets to local game-day culture. From that first shop the business has grown to Pasadena, Menifee, Santa Clarita and Atlanta, and the original counter still sets the standard the others work to.

Start with red velvet, then add cobbler

Start with the red velvet cake, because it is the defining order and the clearest first taste of the house style: soft crumb, generous cream cheese frosting, and none of the dryness that sinks a bad version. It is the cake most people in Los Angeles associate with the name.

Peach cobbler should come next if the Southern side of the bakery is the priority, and sweet potato pie adds another classic in the same register. German chocolate cake, or the cupcake version of it, brings coconut and pecan into the mix and shows how the celebration-cake side works in a smaller format. For a group, a cobbler and a whole cake cover more ground than a spread of cupcakes.
