Soooo moist and yummy! I got the butter beer flavor because it sounded like a cool novelty treat but it was actually my favorite!! The top is almost crispy and is made with cream soda - so good. I put the samplers in my freezer and it's almost better that way! You can't taste the whiskey in the whiskey chocolate flavor. read more

ho...ly...crap.... I found this vendor at the Culver City Farmers Market after my roommate had introduced me to their rum cakes, and it was all downhill from there. I currently have 4 cakes in front of me. (4 for $10? don't mind if I do.) These are some of the most delicious little cakes I've ever had. Super moist and saturated in butter, it's not for the health conscious, so stay away, as they are habit forming. After trying their lemon and pina colada cakes, I still have to say the italian butter rum still rules them all. It's worth sacrificing your teeth to give the cake a try. read more

This was one of my first UCI experiences and it was delicious. Too bad they're no longer at the UTC/Mariner's Farmer's Market. Butter Rum (Highly Recommend) Deeee-licious. Self explanatory- buttery with a nice hint of rum. Sometimes they offer pecans which makes it extra delicious. Baked to perfection: sweet, soft, and not dry. Chocolate Cake (A-OK) This was pretty good but similar to other cakes. What made this stand out was the sweetness and the cream in the middle. When I did freeze it, I felt like it tasted 5 times better. Pumpkin Spice: TBD (Still frozen in my freezer) Overall: Price was about right for such a unique cuisine. Customer service is great as they always offer samples though I did wish they allow us to try others. Other than that I can't complain. I would definitely recommend this to people that visit OC. It's a local MUST TL;DR Tips: * Freeze them for a different feel * Buy in bulk for discounts read more

The butter rum cake is definitely still delicious, just as it was years ago. It just doesn't taste as sweet as it used to taste. The butter rum cake is probably the most moist cake- the red velvet cake was very dry. read more

While these bundle cakes are delicious, the Fullerton storefront is a disappointment. There are NO set hours when they are open to the public. I've stopped so many times! but only twice was it open for the public. PLEASE have set hours -- even if only a couple of hours, a couple of days a week -- for walk-in customers. Thank you. read more

so after observing my husband Eat his peanut butter bundt (he didn't Eat at work). he took 2bites and said to spongy!!! so its still n the fridge- even though the guy said don't put in the fridge. But actually they where hot and the filling taste like hot plastic wrap eeek. and today I spoke with my sister, and she had it all confused , she thought I meant the butter rum , so when i asked How was the lemon she said to dry. samples where better. (which was the butter rum) so only bundt that actually was great where the main samples being given out. Fresh and Soft, well I was in the mood for a bundt today so I stopped at My Local Ralphs and picked up a Peach flavor bundt. I won't be looking for this at the farmers market sad to say..but 3 out of 4bundt cakes I'm good. read more

Every quarter, UC Irvine holds a weekly Vendor Fair and you can bet Dolce Monachelli always makes an appearance. For hungry college students, their free samples of their Italian Butter Rum cake stops us in our tracks to class and prove tempting and to DIE for. Then you try everything else and fall in love all over again. Their Mini Bundt Cakes are definitely a win, as you can save some money buying a couple while trying a few of their flavors. Over the years, I've become quite the regular and have tried almost all of their flavors. The Italian Butter Rum with Pecans on top are a best-seller and promising choice. For lighter, fresher tastes, I love their Pineapple Upside Down (with fresh pineapple and cherry) and Lemon Citrus. For richer chocolate tastes, I go for their Chocolate Cappuccino or German Chocolate (which is rare but my FAVORITE. A chocolate cake with a pecan/coconut filling? YES!). Their Carrot Cake Supreme is a nice choice as well. Their prices go $4 each, 3 for $10 and 4 for $12. The employees are usually always friendly and I tend to try to snag deals, as sometimes they are kind enough to lower the price for more at the end of the day, or (at one time I went), get a free one when you buy 7. (It's always a good idea to split/combine with friends to save money but get the cheaper bulk pricing.) Overall, what first drew me to these cakes was how lusciously MOIST and rich in flavor they were! Every time I eat one I almost hate myself since it is SO rich and heavy. (I feel like with that much flavor, you're only supposed to eat half?) Either way, it's scrumptious and insanely delicious and flavorful (and oily)... but judging from other reviewers, perhaps the ingredients make for the yummy kill. (TAKE CAUTION.) First thing to note: DO NOT REFRIGERATE (it ruins the moisture/texture and dries it out; they tend to tell you that when you order). FREEZING is a smart option, then let is DEFROST and it will taste just as what you fell in love with! The friendliest staff and most personable employees who love their product. Just don't indulge too much in this disastrously guilty pleasure. Reading the ingredients scare me. read more

Dolce Monachelli's - Bundt Cake overload. Trying out some new flavors and testing out trial flavors! - Bakeries Near Me - Fullerton, California

Always good. Right in the kitchen view. We come by every year around the holidays. Fancy bunt cakes. Youre gonna thank me.

Please have better transparency about the ingredients used when speaking to your customers. I asked about high fructose corn syrup and he said no (which was true according to the label) but I feel like that question should of opened up a conversation about there being dyes and preservatives used in the cakes. Shame on me for not reading the label before buying. read more

I wish there were more stars because oh my god these cakes are delicious. We bought the mini variety for my daughters birthday and they all were fantastic. Favorite tho was the churro one ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! Super moist and the cutest packaging. I'm so happy I ordered from here and I will definitely do it again. Thank you! read more

I found this booth at the popular Westwood Farmer's Market on Thursday(about 12-6p). They specialize in baked bundt cakes. The guys working the booth were very helpful and explained the different varieties. I chose 6 of them and my favorites are the butter rum and choc peanut butter. They also have gluten free, I noticed. When I get the cake urge from now on; I look for these guys. read more

Not truly gluten free. They process this gluten free with a wheat contaminated facility. Super sick now thanks dolce! Not celiac friendly!!! read more

As we were strolling through the Westwood farmer's market, the guy working the table for this place beckoned with a tray full of samples. Being the suckers that we are for free sweets, we bit hard at the hook and he reeled us in. His table had a dizzying array of different cakes and we would have loved to try them all, but we were really looking for a little treat to bring home to our cat sitters. We picked up a box of their mini bundt cakes in a variety of flavors, and after he rang us up he threw in a free 3 inch carrot cake. We didn't try it until we were 300 miles away and discovered how delicious and moist that it was - this was not your typical carrot cake at all. The gift cakes that we gave to our friends were well received, and we're kicking ourselves for not picking up a few more for ourselves. read more

Pleasantly surprised and so excited to see Dolce Monachelli's at the farmer's market Saturday morning at Wilson Park in Torrance. I know they're at many farmer's markets in LA and OC, but I don't go to farmer's market often, I just might have to now!! Do yourself a favor and buy some cakes, you will not be disappointed. I was gifted an Italian Butter Rum cake from a friend for Christmas and my whole family LOVED LOVED LOVED it!!!! It was super moist, not too sweet and simply decadent and divine. It came in a festive and decorative tin for the holiday. Since then, I discovered their mini cakes in variety packs (8 per pack) which is perfect to sample and eat the different flavors. They also have individual personal size cakes (the size of my palm, I'm 5'3). So my tip to you is get some cakes and share, sharing is caring. read more

Their Italian butter rum bunt cake especially with pecans is the best. So moist. So the higher rating is due to just this cake. Unfortunately the other cakes are a bit bland. The next okay one is the lemon one it just got too sweet mid mini bunt. I just tried the chocolate espresso and I couldn't taste the cocoa. The part with the buttercream was the only tasty part but the cake itself not that great. read more

My husband surprised me with a few cakes and so far I've tried the churro flavored cake and the confetti cake and they were both so delicious. The bread was so moist I loved it! Can't wait to come back. read more

Delicious! Their little cakes are so moist. Lots of flavors to choose from, including some infused with alcohol. The cakes are perfect. Not dry at all. Actually, quite the opposite. I also love that they aren't too sweet. Just the perfect amount in my opinion. They even have a gluten free option! And for those that want to cut down on a bit of sugar, they have a stevia option. And everyone is super friendly. When I went, they offered samples. When I tried one, I couldn't walk away without buying a few. read more

The guy who runs this place is so sketchy. Always has a new person working there, and often screws those people over (making them drive to far markets and not reimbursing them for gas). If you must buy from them, look at the stickers on the bottom of the cakes- he sells the old cakes first and puts them in the front. These have a different color sticker than the fresh cakes in the back. read more

Always to pleasure to see their cakes at a store or farmers market. I first tried the italian rum cake with nuts in a little store in HB near the ocean. Delicious. I did a pick up of the sampler boxes, they make great gifts. read more

Simply the best tiny cakes in town! The classic Italian butter rum is my favorite, but they are all delicious! Go get yourself a treat! read more

My new favorite at the Chino Hills Farmer's Market. So moist and delicious! I'm addicted!!

At SoCo Farmer's Market on Saturdays, you can pretty much sample every vendors products at each stall. It's like being at Costco on a weekend. I have been offered sugar snap peas, apples, tamales, almonds, kettle corn, hummus, flatbread with pesto sauce, bread with balsamic vinegar, pistachios and Dolce Monachelli's mini bundt cakes. Easy way to get me to make a purchase. The Dolce Monachelli vendors offered us a sample of their famous Italian Butter Rum mini bundt. Oh, wow! I was hooked. Since we wanted to grab some lunch from the food truck round-up, I told them I would be back for the 4 for $10 deal on the mini bundts after we ate. I should have made my purchase earlier. When I got back to booth, they were out of the lemon coconut flavor :( I LOVE lemon bundt cake. I ended up with the four flavors of red velvet, chocolate M&M, blueberry cream cheese and the Italian butter rum. BF ate the first two and I ate the two latter. BF said he enjoyed the red velvet and chocolate M&M equally. These cakes are small but very rich. Moist with sweet glazes and loaded with butter. I have to say their showcase flavor, the Italian Butter Rum is outstanding. My absolute favorite. Not a really strong rum flavor like a Malibu rum cake, but subtle and full of yummy buttery goodness. They make cute additions to a gift basket. I will back for some more Italian butter rum cake and want to still try their lemon mini bundt. read more

With all the excitement about how "moist" and "delicious" the cakes were, I made the mistake of not checking ingredients until I got home. What I found was horrible: 1. Thiamin mononitrate 2. Dextrox 3. Red 40 4. Yellow 5 5. Distilled monoglycerides The list goes on and on. They're trying to cut costs by adding crap and making a profit from this at the expense of our health. Never supporting them again. Why the Brentwood Farmers Market would allow such a vendor is beyond me and I will be following up with them. read more

I have an addictive personality - this I've known for some time. So in my teens, I stayed away from drugs and alcohol - and every time I went to the Sunday WLA Farmer's Market (behind the public library on Santa Monica Blvd and Purdue), I avoided sampling the mini bundt cakes from Dolce Monachelli's. But one day, one of my fave clients brought me a couple of these little bundts, and just that first taste has led to my $100 a day habit. **cue mellow Intervention music** LOL, ok so I'm not THAT addicted!! Yet....... : ) Today bf and I saw our neighbors right in front of this booth at the farmer's market, and we hung out and talked and all raved about these cakes. So after sampling the Double Chocolate and the Italian Butter Rum (they ALWAYS offer samples!) we got: Italian Butter Rum Pineapple Upside Down Strawberry Blueberry German Chocolate ($4 ea or two for $5) These super freshly baked feeling tender cake babies are the epitome of a moist and flavorful cake! It was SUPER hard to pick just these four - some of the flavors I passed up were: Lemon Citrus, Lemon Coconut, Pumpkin Spice, Chocolate Raspberry and Pina Colada. PLUS they had full sized versions of the baby cakes! The flavors are all moist and have glazes that soak MORE flavor into the cake or a little bit of icing in the bundt hole (LOL, that sounded racy for a minute!), or little pieces of nuts or coconut or berries embedded in or sprinkled on their domes. Once you bite in, they are super rich and taste like LOVE.....and BUTTER!!! (Butter IS love, isn't it?) Friendly bundt dude David and helper Jesse were explaining that they have a bakery in Santa Ana where you can phone in an order and pick up, or they are at many farmer's markets in the LA and OC areas. You MUST try a sample or two, and see for yourself how delish they are.....just be ready for their addictive lure!! read more

I passed by the Brea Farmers Market on a Tuesday evening, I picked up some fruit and rum cakes. I did come specifically for the rum cake. I had called the shop and the nice gentleman told me I would find them here. I was a bit let down. I guess I had extremely high expectations after reading all the reviews on yelp. Back in the day, I had a coworker who made home made rum cake. That was the best rum cake I have ever had. That is a fact. I purchased a few cakes. The rum cake and the red velvet were AOK. I cannot remember the third cake. Overall everything was AOK. I would not go out of my way just to get these cakes. I guess my review is the lowest now on yelp. Three stars is not bad. It is AOK. read more

I found this company at a chino hills farmers market and i bought like 5 bunt cakes and let me tell you all of them were delicious!

Tried them for the first time at the Monrovia's Farmers Market and my GF decided to buy some. The Italian Butter Rum Cake was definitely the best of the bunch. Also tried the Red Velvet and Peanut Butter. They were good, but not as good as the Italian Butter Rum Cake. All the cakes here are pretty moist and flavorful. I put some in the freezer since I didn't want them to go bad. I just put them on room temperature to thaw for a few hours before eating them and they were just fine. read more

Came to the CM Farmers Market today for food trucks and the bundt cakes caught my attention right away when I walked by the stand because there was over 15 flavors and all looked so moist and yummy! As we were walking back the cakes were calling to me again and so were the people. I gave it a shot and was suckered in as usual. They gave us a sample of their butter rum and boy it was moist and tasty!!!!! They had a special if you buy four so we bought the butter rum, lemon coconut, chocolate with reeses and another rum cake!!!!!! Now I need go get my butt to the gym and work out the calories I just indulged in! read more
