Last time I came into this amazing place I made the mistake of not trying their pup cupcakes!…read more It was my dogs birthday so I made the drive from Long Beach to HB. Because 1- My dog is worth it. And 2- they have the best human cupcakes I've ever had lol When I walked in I was immediately greeted by the owner who is so incredibly sweet. She remembered me and greeted me like she's known me for years. They had a 4 pack of pup cakes already packed up. So I grabbed those and told her it was my dogs birthday. Don't forget to ask her if she has a free candle or birthday topper available! She usually has a bunch behind the counter she hands out. She gave me a candle (I got to pick out the color) and I got a little tiny happy birthday topper to put in the pup cake PS- the pup cupcakes smell absolutely delicious! The peanut butter frosting smells out of this world. I almost took a bite. As always, this place is extremely clean Staff is great! Parking is great! Flavors to pick from are great They have a huge variety. I'm so bummed I got there too late and missed out on their coconut cupcake and they had a pistachio one!! (Her flavors are always the best and always changing) So I had to go with my old trusty. I got a wedding cake one and a birthday confetti one. Again, these cupcakes are HUGE. They have the perfect amount of frosting vs cake ratio, they are not dry at all!!! Hands down the best in Orange County I got sucked in. She can make any of her cupcake flavors into a donut. So I tried the strawberry donut (inspired by her strawberry cupcake) the donuts are all in the back and not on display like the cupcakes are It's the best of both worlds The donut was light and fresh. It tasted like a Krispy Kreme but with the delicious frosting of a cupcake. This is on the sweeter side, for me? Sweeter the better. But might be too sweet for others. I can't wait to come back here for all my cupcake and cake needs in the future!!! Give them a try, you and your dog will be extremely satisfied (I have never seen any bakery that is this dog friendly!!)

A good friend of mine had a birthday party for her daughter and the cake was so good! When I asked…read moreher the name of the bakery, she provided me this cake shop's information. I went in for a custom cake order, and the owner was able to accommodate within a 72 hour window. I'll say that my daughter does not actually eat cake. She eats frosting, but when I tell you, she ate her entire slice including the cake and the buttercream frosting! The cake was so moist and so beautiful! The prices are fair for the quality that you receive. However, I will say that when I inquired on a separate order if she's able to accommodate for gluten allergies, she said unfortunately no. Although her website does advertise that she can. Besides that, this is a solid option for custom cakes, especially if you like them small and stacked.

We'll definitely be back to paint more pieces in the future. Highly recommend supporting this local business!

Guests and kids couldn't keep their hands off these delicious treats! This was actually our second year ordering cakes from them for events, and once again, they did not disappoint. The owner, Larry, is very kind, easy to work with, and incredibly accommodating throughout the process. We'll definitely continue keeping The Baking Fool on our event vendor list. Thank you so much, Larry, for helping make our celebration extra special!

The cupcakes lived up to the yelp reviews. I ordered four dozen full size cupcakes for a child's…read morebirthday party. Two dozen triple chocolate, and two dozen strawberry wedding cheesecake. People raved about the strawberry cheesecake. I was asked by multiple people where I got these cupcakes from. I had the chance to sample both, and honestly the triple chocolate was delicious as well. The cake is moist, the frosting buttery and not super sweet. I can see why the strawberry cheesecake was the star of the show among the parents, though. As for customer service - great! Cupcake ready when promised. Larry helped me carry my order to the car, and gave me good instructions on care and transport. I would order from him again for any event.

Long story short, I realized the cake had actually been ordered at the Newport location instead of Costa Mesa. Dennis was helping me, and he was absolutely wonderful. He was so kind, patient, and accommodating. He went above and beyond by providing me with the same cake and even offered to call the Newport location to explain the situation. I've worked in customer service for over 25 years, and unfortunately, exceptional customer service like this can be hard to find these days. Dennis truly went above and beyond, and I was incredibly grateful for his kindness and willingness to help--especially on a busy Saturday. A huge thank you to Dennis and the entire staff for making what could have been a stressful situation so easy and pleasant. Your kindness and customer service did not go unnoticed! I will definitely continue coming here and purchasing all of my cakes from you. Thank you again, Dennis, and the entire team, for such a wonderful experience!

I came in on 8/2/26 to try their seasonal items: Raspberry Vanilla, Key Lime Pie…read more I brought my son with me to check out the desserts with me for the first time. He was so excited seeing the cake designs on Spiderman and Minions. We enjoyed our desserts inside. They only had 1 high top table with 2 high top chairs. I would say service was ok. I just didn't feel greeted with the most excitement by staff. Staff didn't care to know if we enjoyed our dessert, offer stickers to my kid at all. For a single parent with their young toddler, I think its important to make sure all customers enjoyed the dessert and the children have a good experience so that they always remember this place to request us coming back again. Thats just my advice when it comes to customer service for adults and kids. Though, I will try my best to be back for the raspberry vanilla cupcake, bc that did taste really good when I ate it elsewhere. Please keep this seasonal dessert permanently on the menu.

On my last visit, I got the zucchini bread. I really like their zucchini bread because it's really moist and not too sweet. Each order comes with 2 slices for $5.75 plus tax. The zucchini bread tasted good, but it fell apart pretty quickly, so I think I may have gotten a batch that wasn't baked properly. When I do get donuts, I usually go for the chocolate Long Johns or the custard malasadas. Both are tasty!

It's impossible to…read morewalk out of here without spending a solid chunk of change because everything looks and smells so good. Their cookies are absolutely massive and they are incredibly thick, dense, and heavy. The outside has a nice crispness, but the center is pure gooey perfection. They are so rich and packed with chocolate that you honestly need to break them into quarters to share, or just save the rest for later. We got the chocolate chip cookie and s'mores. Their best seller is definitely the chocolate chip. To wash it down, their Vietnamese Coffee is a must. It is strong, bold, and has that perfect sweet, condensed milk punch that hits just right. It pairs perfectly with how rich the cookies are. The spot is just a quick grab-and-go setup, and the line moves fast. Just make sure to get there on the earlier side because their popular stuff definitely sells out later in the day.
