Sweet Lady Jane in West Hollywood makes spectacular and delicious cakes, but they are not cheap. My sister's wedding cake had a passionfruit filling that was divine.

Hansen's cakes on Fairfax (near Little Ethiopia) is the best place to get a bday cake for a large crowd. The cakes taste great and they will put anything on a cake (just look at their site). They are relatively inexpensive (much less than Sweet Lady Jane's), although much more basic (cake plus icing). Here is a link to their site: http://www.hansencakes.com/
One of LA's best know foodie secrets.

I must strongly suggest you try Porto's bakery - especially since you want a large cake. Swet Lady Jane's is fine but exhorbitant. Michel Richard also has an exquisite chocolate raspberry. But - hands down - the cakes at Porto's are superb, very reasonably priced, and they are very familiar with large orders, and indeed specialty orders of all kinds.
You can also get finger food there - the best possible meat pies, croquettes, etc. It's a fantastic spot. We catered a lot of our wedding via Porto's and at a fraction of the cost most people spend. And for my husband's fiftieth, they did a custom cake that was delicious (a tres leches, as I recall) and incredibly beautiful with a digital picture (that tasted great too!) of superman and the whole nine yards.
Porto's has a couple of spots now - they also have one in Burbank which should be very convenient to your N Hollywood location. Trust me. You'll never go anywhere else again. http://www.portosbakery.com/
