At Merengue Bakery, your happiness is our number one priority. We treat our customers with white-glove care, sharing our passion and zeal through the delicious food we offer and the personal attention we provide.
Merengue Bakery isn’t just a bakery or a restaurant—it’s a home away from home, a place you can savor delicious food, relax and enjoy yourself.
We don’t consider ourselves a business in the normal sense of the word, we consider ourselves a family, and we’d like our guests to feel the same way. Every time we see someone smile, we know we’ve accomplished our goals!
We create custom cakes to order…and no job is too big! We hold the Guiness World Record for creating the largest cupcake—if you can dream it, we’ll create it to your exact specifications.
We’ve created cakes for movie stars, sports legends and pop stars—and every single cake we make, whether it’s for Al Pacino, Paris Hilton, Yasiel Puig, Oscar de la Hoya, Usher, Fergie, a new baby boy or a high school graduation, you’ll get treated like a celebrity!
Ricardo isn’t just the owner of Merengue Bakery—he’s their biggest fan!
As a resident of Monrovia, Ricardo was a Merengue regular for years, while running his family’s business. He was born in Los Angeles and raised by a very traditional Cuban family, learning and loving every traditional recipe his family made.
Ricky brings a love for both the bakery and the tradition to Merengue Bakery. His love for the business shines through with every creation and every single customer who enters the shop.
In his free time, you can often see him in the café, sipping on a cafécito Cubano—unless the Dodger game is on!
