As one of the most recognizable local chains of the Vancouver / Richmond area, Anna's Cake House has been tantalizing dessert lovers for decades. I practically grew up on these pastries and "Anna Bang" (#1) was something my family had to get whenever we came out to BC.
Their mini-cakes / pastries seem to be the most popular items to get. Each are airy and light and there are a myriad of flavors to choose from. The Napoleon (both Swiss and walnut) cakes are a solid choice, as is the chocolate cake and mango fruit tarts. Even though I'm not a fan of the coconut cakes, it seems many others are. I think their bun selection deserves a nod. I've long enjoyed their ham and cheese, curry beef, garlic hot dog buns, and their "wife cake" (loh por bang) is very solid.
This location in Lansdowne is the only one in Richmond for now. The ladies who work here are super nice and are pretty straight forward with their recommendations. Sometimes during their later hours, they'll cave and sell their pastries / buns for as much as half off. Their English isn't so great, which may be problematic for whenever they have to write it for custom cake decorations.
While it may be difficult to consider them the "best" Chinese bakery in the area, they still have a solid selection and some super service. For my family and I, this is not only a little taste of Hong Kong, but a little taste of nostalgia.

(#1) That'd be "Anna Cakes" in Cantonese. You so naughty. -

I like that they have fast and reliable service...I was freaking out cause it was my mom's birthday and no one mentioned cake....being the responsible one in the family I quickly looked up places on yelp.
Anna's had always been a favorite of mine because their cakes are not too dense or sweet to fit the Asian taste preferences. I really was saved by Anna's cause they had my cake ready within hours after I called at 11a, and I could it pick it up anytime after 2:30pm. That's what I love about Chinese efficiency.
Anyways...the cake suffered a little bit from the car ride to the restaurant for dinner. So minus 1 star for their durability factor, but overall I'm a fan!Listed in: Vancouver, BC!!!!

Landsdown Mall location has good discount after 6:30pm (Wed - Fri) Beware of crazy Chinese shoppers fighting over baked goods @ this time.

if you like cake and want to eat a whole 8" (sorry - I keep doing that. 15 cm) cake yourself, but worry about the heartburn after downing a double chocolate, the cakes that anna's produces are definitely for you!
Their light and airy cakes are interlaced with thin delicate layers of creme (almost whipped-cream like) and are fruit-topped so you can convince yourself that eating a cake for dinner is perfectly healthy because you're getting your daily ration of vitamin c.
