This week's menu drops on Instagram

Our hours and menu shift with each themed week — so the cinnamon-roll cheesecake you saw today might be a chicken-and-waffle cupcake next week. Following along is the only way to know what's baking, and when we're open.

We sell out — a lot. DM ahead so you're never waiting out in the pink.

Our Story

From a viral pop-up to a pink dream come true

We're inside of a cake. We're inside of a dream.

Hella Cakes started as a viral pop-up and grew — fueled by nothing but the community — into a brick-and-mortar micro-bakery in the heart of Downtown Modesto. Owner Aaliyah did the framing, laid the flooring, and dreamed up every sparkly detail herself.

It's a shop built on taking a chance on yourself. Every cupcake, every glittery cup, and every themed menu is here to make your dollar feel worth it — and to prove you can chase the dream, no matter how big.

You don't need a whole community behind you, but they'll back you up once they see you. I'm a product of that.

It's the community & nothing less

From the first viral pop-up to a brick-and-mortar dream, every sprinkle of this place was backed by the people of Modesto.

I'm just trying to show my daughter it's okay to chase your dream. This is an outcome of me taking a chance on myself.
