Artelice Patisserie: A Treat for You and a Treat for Me
Burbank native Nick Enigma reporting back to duty and giving you a review from the store Artelice Patisserie. A few articles back I wrote about See’s Candies and how they helped me find an amazing chocolate box for my grandma’s 80th birthday. While See’s handled my quality chocolate needs, I was now searching for a decorative cake that had a beautiful presentation and tasted divine. I wanted something that would truly commemorate my grandma’s 80th birthday and make her feel special on her big day.

Nick Enigma reporting back again
From Burbank town to the pastry den
I was searching for something divine
A cake to mark a milestone time
Something beautiful
Something sweet
A masterpiece
A work to eat
For Yiayia’s birthday — eighty strong
A moment that deserved a perfect song
Not just a cake, not something plain
A celebration to remember again
Layers of mousse
Hazelnut crunch
Cherry soaked sweetness
Love in each touch
Presentation matters
Details speak
Craftsmanship strong
Elegant and unique
Careful hands
French tradition
Precision baking
Perfect condition

Nothing delayed

Advice I got from MyFriend.com
Your Buddy on the Web
I had been to Artelice Patisserie twice in the past. Once for their very colorful signature macarons that caught my eye while I was walking through downtown Burbank one afternoon. That first visit for macarons happened during a moment when I wanted to make a strong impression on a first time meet up. I was meeting the parents of my girlfriend at the time and wanted to bring something that looked polished and thoughtful.
I picked up a box from Artelice Patisserie, and from the moment I walked in with that box, the presentation spoke for itself. The colors were vibrant, the packaging looked elegant, and the quality was obvious right away. Once everyone tasted them, the response was immediate. People noticed the flavor, the texture, and the attention to detail. Purchasing these macarons was the right move and helped reinforce the type of impression I was going for.

The second time I visited was after an evening at Granville. The store was close in proximity and was on the way back, I was craving a sweet treat, Artelice Patisserie did not disappoint and hit the spot! Both times I visited, the quality of the desserts was outstanding and visually it was a gift to the eyes. They pay attention to the small details whether that is intricate decorations on their pastries or the stunning boxes they provide when you make a purchase. Everything feels intentional. Nothing feels rushed.
After expecting quality from them, I felt confident they were the perfect place to source a cake that would make my grandma’s 80th birthday even more special.
The Story Behind Artelice Patisserie
Craftsmanship That Starts at the Top
Artelice Patisserie was founded by world class pastry chefs Chef Romuald Guiot and Chef Saeed Sharifi, professionals with deep roots in French pastry tradition and international culinary experience. Their vision was to bring refined European pastry craftsmanship to Southern California while maintaining the precision, artistry, and discipline found in top Parisian patisseries.
From the beginning, Artelice Patisserie focused on delivering desserts that look beautiful, taste exceptional, and maintain consistency from order to order. That philosophy shows in every detail from the structure of their cakes to the packaging customers carry out the door.
The Burbank Location and the People Behind It
For those of us in the Burbank community, the local Artelice Patisserie location is represented by Kambiz, who oversees operations there and helps maintain the brand’s standards at the neighborhood level.
One thing that stood out to me personally was seeing Kambiz outside the storefront mingling with customers and staying connected to what was happening in real time. It created a very homely atmosphere and made the experience feel personal from the moment you arrived. At the same time, you could tell he kept a careful eye on operations and made sure everything met the high standards that the company is known for. His carefulness spoke volumes about the pride he takes in his business.
Why I Chose Artelice Patisserie for My Grandma’s 80th Birthday
I gave them a call a couple days prior to the day we were planning the birthday celebration and they were able to come up with a custom cake ready for me in no time. Many places require significant advance notice and will not do custom work on short timelines, but Artelice Patisserie handled my request with confidence and professionalism.
We were able to write happy birthday and grandma in Greek on the cake and also build a list of pastries to complement the celebration. That flexibility meant a lot to me. Because when you are celebrating someone near and dear to you, details matter.
After they took my order down, I went in the next day to pick up the items and get ready to set up for the big day. The fact they were able to accommodate my last minute custom order stuck with me because they do not just deliver quality in taste and presentation. Their responsiveness and turnaround time match that same standard. It would have taken days anywhere else. And picking up a mass produced cake would not have felt like doing my grandma’s birthday justice.
The Team That Helped Make It Happen
Associates Alina and Nina were super helpful and led me in the right direction with their recommendations both over the phone when picking out a cake to pre-order and in person when choosing what pastries to include in our dessert box.
When meeting Alina and Nina we realized we knew of each other through social media and college, proving how tight knit a community Burbank is and how important local relationships are in building trust and supporting businesses in our area. To me that is something that stands out about Burbank and all the local shops connected in it.
The Cake: Sophia
The cake I pre-ordered over the phone was their Sophia cake.
It featured light chocolate mousse with a vanilla crème brûlée insert, a hazelnut crunchy layer, and pieces of cherry soaked in liqueur.
Just looking at how layered these ingredients were I knew the cake was nothing to play with. It looked impressive and tasted even better.
It was exactly the kind of cake that makes a celebration feel complete.
“My grandma loved it.
The family talked about it.
And the presentation elevated the entire afternoon.” – Nick Enigma
When Presentation Matters Most
There are moments in life when presentation carries real meaning. Birthdays, anniversaries, family gatherings, and milestone celebrations deserve more than something ordinary. The right dessert can set the tone for the entire event and make people feel valued and remembered.

The Dessert Box Selections
Individual Portions That Completed the Table:
Based on the recommendations from Alina and Nina and what visually stood out to me in the display case, I selected a variety of individual portions from Artelice Patisserie to complement the birthday cake. These were not just desserts for me. They were part of the experience. Each one looked carefully crafted and beautifully presented, adding variety and color to the celebration table. I wanted something eye catching I make art and when I cook I enjoy curating each ingredient, I can tell they had the same sensitivity.
The individual portions I chose:
100% Chocolate Cake:
Chocolate mousse layered with chocolate crèmeux, chocolate cake, and a chocolate hazelnut crispy layer, finished with cocoa nib nougatine for added crunch and deep cocoa intensity.
Blossom:
Light vanilla mousse surrounding a pistachio and red berries insert, supported by pistachio sponge and a pistachio crunch layer that balances sweetness with nutty richness and bright fruit acidity.
Champignon:
Smooth hazelnut mousse paired with hazelnut praline and hazelnut sponge, featuring a passion fruit insert and hazelnut crunch that creates a contrast between creamy nut flavors and tangy tropical brightness.
Dubai Chocolate Pastry:
Chocolate mousse and chocolate crèmeux layered over chocolate moelleux sponge, filled with a signature Dubai chocolate center made of crispy kataifi pastry and pistachio cream, topped with whipped pistachio ganache.
Saint Honore:
Caramelized puff pastry base filled with Madagascar vanilla pastry cream, layered with salted caramel, and finished with a rich Madagascar vanilla ganache infused for 24 hours to deepen the flavor.
Tiramisu 2.0:
Vanilla mascarpone mousse layered with coffee crèmeux and soft coffee caramel filling, combined with hazelnut crunch and ladyfinger sponge to create a modern, structured take on the classic tiramisu.
WOW!!! Now tell me these selections don’t sound amazing… The ingredients and taste profiles do all the talking. – Nick Enigma
