I was excited to try this place since it was on the food tv network. I got the crème brûlée cupcake because who can resist anything crème brûlée? The cupcake wasn't anything special in taste. Truck was cute, the different flavors were unique but the taste was average. It's not something I would go searching for again read more

Dreamy Creations - a display of desserts - Cupcakes Near Me

(Dined 05/18/19 SA @ 8:30pm): These creations were certainly dreamy; I wish I tried more! I recently enjoyed a viewing of "Get Out" during an Eat See Hear event at Santa Monica High School's Greek Amphitheatre when I had my first eating experience with Dreamy Creations Cupcake Truck. Although I frequently attended, worked, or volunteered at the myriad of year-around events throughout Southern California, this was my very first experience with this dessert food booth and was enticed by the festive array of cupcakes on display. Would these creations send me into a dreamy state!?: QUICK BIO "Born from love, Dreamy Creations was founded by the mother and daughter duo of Crystal Schaffner and Jenica Braddock. The butterfly logo represented the huge life transformation these two were to embark upon in their respective lives. Armed with a team dedicated and passionate to share their handcrafted sweets with the general public, their commitment to quality and taste was to offer consistency and options for everyone to enjoy. Natural and organic ingredients was key whenever possible and to be mindful of ongoing changing food allergies and eating concerns. One brick-and-mortar existed in Northridge, CA, and have garnered a couple Food Network Cupcake Wars accolades." PURCHASE Crème Brulee Cupcake ($6): Vanilla butter cake topped with homemade custard and bruleed sugar, this apparently soy-free somewhat diminutive treat packed a noticeable punch. Short and stout, it was dense, moist, and held together well. The crunchy top was candylike while the actual cake was divinely sweet. Let it be known that my frugality wasn't about $6 cupcakes, but I was intrigued while my interest was definitely piqued https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=qMJGTpyTmJu-mX7KG8ltrw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! SERVICE A lone friendly woman displayed her neatly-packaged sellable wares upon clothed tables as she welcomed you forward. Armed with charm, information, and decadent treats, I was easily succumbed like a moth to a flame. Once I decided what was to tickle my sweet tooth, I was off to devour my sweetness. Selling desserts had to be one of the easiest things to sell... and she did it with style and grace! PARKING (Varied; $5.00 this instance) Being a food truck, they were at the beck and call wherever the event was held. In this case, the event took place on a high school campus but unsure if their parking was available for patrons. Otherwise, I parked across the street at the public civic center parking lot for a $5 flat fee at this time while there seemed to be various paid parking garages, lots, and structures in the immediate area as well as metered street parking (valid until 6pm nightly) along the main drag of Pico Blvd. and other surrounding streets. Another option was a driving service like a bus, taxi, Lyft, or Uber (no nearby Metro train station). ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A simple self-sufficient food booth protected by a canopy tent, exterior visual menus caught your eye, no designated seating area, and natural lighting was prevalent during the daytime while minimal electric street and truck lighting glowed at night. There were no TVs nor background music - 'nuff said https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=z7WoJmdFuTHuTwfnRME7nA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL Dreamy Creations Cupcake Truck was exactly that, and I was happy to have made its acquaintance. The one cupcake I had was very tasty, but wished it was bigger and not so pricey. I was impressed by the offered selections and wouldn't mind a visit to their storefront to purchase treats for myself or others. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $6.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice...AMEX! 4.0 STARS read more

I came across this food truck when they were parked at Figat7th giving away free cupcakes for MasterCard holders. I learned that it was MC Customer Appreciation Day and all you had to do was show either a MC debit card or credit card to get the free item. I have both cards and after working my charm with the representative, she gave me two boxes with two cupcakes on each one. These cupcakes are regularly priced at $5.50 a piece. Kind of expensive but I got it free. Not even sure what flavors I got. I'm not really a fan of frosting on cupcakes. I find them overly sweet so I usually scrape them off with tissue paper. I did try the frosting on this cupcake and to my surprise, it had the perfect sweetness I was able to handle. The cake portion was moist and again, the sweetness was equally perfect. Loved these cupcakes so I ate them all, not on one sitting though. It was still good the next day I enjoyed the other box. read more

Light, delicious and LOTS OF FLAVORS TO CHOOSE FROM! What more can a cupcake connoisseur ask for?! My hubby and I visited the dreamy creations truck at the LA Zoo Roaring Nights event. There were lots of options. In fact we were so overwhelmed by the options that we didn't want to choose. So we opted for the mini assortment for $15. There was also an option to choose from assortments! So we went with their award-winning cookies and cream, the birthday cake, red velvet, gluten free salted caramel brownie, and the strawberry cream. All of them were great - but my favs were the red velvet followed by the birthday cake. I can't wait to visit their physical location to try some more! read more

Dreamy Creations - Cupcakes Near Me

Vegan Dreamy! I found the Dreamy Creations Cupcake truck at Vegan Exchange (formally called Vegan Sunday NoHo) and got the most popular flavor - Cinnamon Dolce. Definitely top 3 cupcakes I've ever had, placed near Chloe Coscarelli. I hope they go full vegan because they leave nothing to be desired in their vegan offerings. read more

A little bummed they didn't have a full selection on hand to choose from at the spot. Totally blame the Covid situation hopefully if I ever come back I'll get to experience what all the great reviews are talking about. Giving five stars because their service was great. I got lost, so I called and they gave me step by step turns and instructions to find them. Which was very kind because I know other business would not. They also helped me at the window giving me options for what they had there on the spot for me to take. They normally Do phone orders only but they made an exception since I was there in person and gave me what was available. The cupcake in a jar looks tiny and small but it packs a lot. It taste good and it's super cute. They have a food truck I might have to follow from now on haha read more

My husband and I saw this truck at the LA Times Book Festival this Saturday / yesterday and picked up a Creme brûlée cupcake. Very tasty and delicious, definitely understand why they won some cupcake wars! :) would like to try strawberries & Creme next time! read more

Dreamy Creations - Creme brûlée cupcake - Cupcakes Near Me

For the price it is a little bit steep for cupcakes. As one cupcake was $6 but definitely worth a try, I could not decide to get either the birthday cake or apple pie as both are my favorites so I ordered both. Neither disappointed. I thought the apple pie was on the borderline of being too sweet but the birthday cake was just right. The fondant/icing was great texture and layer to the cupcake. I think next time I want to try the cupcakes in the jar as well as there changing of seasonal flavors. read more

Tried cupcakes from this truck during the Odd Market at the Autry a couple weeks back. I got the Creme Brulee and Campfire cupcake and was a bit disappointed that the actually cake part tasted like angel food cake for both. It wasn't as moist as I hoped it would be as well. My boyfriend and I ended up not finishing the cupcakes and just tossing them in the end because we didn't want them anymore. Not to sure if I would give them another try in the future. read more

What is this sugar wizardry?! I have never spent $10+ on a small dessert and felt so happy about it! Take my money! I did not know anything about Dreamy Creations until I saw their truck at the First Thursday food truck event in San Pedro. I was instantly impressed with their selections of sweets and cupcakes. I ordered the Frosted Dream with a mini Camp Fire cupcake as topping. If I remember correctly, Frosted Dream consists of frozen vanilla custard sprinkled generously with crunchy churros and then topped with a mini cupcake of your choice as well as whipped cream. All the ingredients tasted fresh and all the flavors went so well together! Not overly sweet at al Their Camp Fire cupcake has such a unique flavor that I have no words for. I would love to know what kind of frosting they use! The crunchy churro was so crunchy and delicious, it was a perfect match with the frozen vanilla custard. I would definitely come back and try ALL of their cupcakes. They really know what they are doing! read more

OooohEeemGeeee!!! The Creme Brulee is AMAZING!! It even cracks when you hit it with a fork and that creme topping!!! We also got the df double chocolate something (sorry) for my 14yr old chocolate head son and birthday cake for the cruzinator. But, the creme brulee, SUPER SWEET AND NICE read more

Very poor quality Highest prices I've seen Dry stale tasting DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY I would not recommend eating anything from this truck read more

Dreamy Creations was pretty good! I love love loved the cherry cupcake! The Boston Cream was a miss for me because the chocolate ganache was bitter and the Creme was on top of the cupcake, which I found odd. I will definitely keep my eyes open for the truck simple because the cherry one was fantastic read more

We hired the Cupcake Truck for a private event and were pretty happy with it! They allowed us to choose 6 flavors, including a gluten free option, which was great. They also came with the cupcakes pre-packaged in boxes with was great, and they bagged the leftovers up for us at the end of the night. She was a little late, but it was due to issues with the truck and traffic. I would hire them again! read more

Fantastic cupcakes with fun flavors, friendly staff AND they have a cupcake truck! The creme brulee and campfire are my favorites and they always have a flavor of the month. We used them to make custom cupcakes for a corporate work event and they were a hit. Everyone LOVED them so much that we've ordered a few times. read more

Dreamy Creations - Corporate function - custom mini cupcakes! Such a hit! - Cupcakes Near Me

I'm obsessed with this cupcake truck. I follow their Instagram and visit them whenever they are in my area! They have very unique cupcake flavors and they look as good as they taste. I've had s'mores, creme brûlée, red velvet, and cinnamon. Creme brûlée is my favorite flavor so far. The staff inside the truck is always super friendly and ready to answer any cupcake questions I had! read more

My husband came home with 4 cupcakes the other day; and while cupcakes usually aren't my thing, these were AMAZING! He bought the double chocolate brownie, the campfire, the creme brûlée, and the cookies and cream. Each one tasted better than the last. The cakes are moist, which is a must, and the frostings aren't overly sweet, yet super flavorful. I usually hate any frosting other than cream cheese, but I found myself licking off all of the frosting on these. Can't wait for food truck day at my hubby's work again so that he can bring home more! read more

The cupcakes were worth every dollar. We tired the creme brûlée and strawberry jam filled cupcakes. They were so delicious. Very moist and fluffy. Definitely recommend. read more

I've only tried the red velvet and creme Brulee. Both were good, but that Creme Brulee ain't no joke! That's all! read more

Overrated. Tried them at a street food cinema event. The cake was pretty dry. Two of the four cupcakes I bought were crumbling apart in the box. And whoever packaged them did a really sloppy job because when I got home, one had completely fallen apart and one was upside down so all the frosting had stuck to the bottom of the box. The apple pie one was my favorite but honestly, at 6 bucks a cupcake, I probably wouldn't buy them again. read more

Good, but pricey. Moist cake, which is key. I tried the mini cupcakes and the early grey cupcake. The early grey was really good. Would definitely stop here again for some sweets if I was in the area where the truck is, but wouldn't drive out of my way or crave them. Good produce though. read more

Sooo good. At the truck, they sold out of the more interesting flavors by the end of the night, so we almost left without trying anything since we also had a churro ice cream sandwich afterall. But soo glad we settled for getting the double chocolate cupcake before walking outta there. No regrets whatsoever as we sink our teeth into the so soft frosting and cake. Never had anything like it and is the best chocolate cupcake I've ever had! But then again I've never tried a lot if those popular cupcake places like sprinkles and what not. So I may not be the expert. But there's no mistake that this double chocolate cupcake was super good!! Can't wait to come back and try the other flavors! read more

The campfire!!!! Too good!!! The frosting on top is sweet deliciousness with a perfectly toasted marshmallow. The cake portion was alright, slightly sweet and not very moist. I was skeptical for a $5.50 cupcake but I wanna say it was worth it! Just can't splurge with that price as often :) I was lucky to see the truck at the holiday artisanal la market in Monrovia/Arcadia. And super friendly. Hope they'll be back! read more

Firstly, who the heck wants to pay $6 for a cupcake that tastes and looks horrible? And then $4 for a soda that I could get at a store for $2? The cupcake is HIGHLY over-priced and their cupcakes taste atrocious. I am sorry, but if you are telling me that I have to have some silly frosting to make your cupcakes taste better you should not be in the business of making cupcakes. Certainly will not buy from them again, rather just go to Nadia's Cakes in Palmdale where I can get a way better cupcake for HALF the price read more

I went to a Food Street Cinema event with my kids and nieces tonight. Was excited to try this truck out and promised them each a cupcake... not realizing they were $7.00 a piece... for a cupcake... "discounted" to $6.75 each. I understand making up for the pandemic and supporting small businesses, but at this price, it just felt like being taken advantage of. No wonder there was no line. For reference, Dots cupcakes in Pasadena charges $3.50 a cupcake and Sprinkles charges $5.00. Cupcakes were good, but standard, and I'd never pay this price again. read more

Cupcakes are good, but definitely not worth $7.50 each. This was the price at the LA night market event. It would have been very helpful if they posted the prices on some kind of menu at the food truck. Even Momofuku's food was cheaper at the event!! read more

Once upon a time I used to babysit the genius behind Dreamy Creations. I was so happy to hear of her business and elated when I finally tried the cupcakes. They are amazing. I usually get them from the food truck since it is conviniently located at the Farmer's Market on Wednesdays. I wanted to say which one my favorite is, but it's hard! So far I think the creme brulee and the campfire are number 1. Maybe I'll try something different tonight! read more

Honestly, these cupcakes are delicious, but somehow I always miss them. Last time I went to the farmer's market they weren't open yet. I stood under the horrible sun for a few mins. Two weeks later they weren't there at all. So sad! Can you post your schedule somewhere??? I am about to go looking for a different place! read more

I found Jenica at Granada Food Trucks. She was working with another guy and they were both amazing! We ordered pumpkin cheesecake cupcakes, I don't know how they keep the cupcakes so moist. At $4.25 per cupcake, totally worth it. It usually takes us a few sittings to finish. Compare that to a $3 or $4 dessert at a coffee shop, ya know the ones at every street corner, you can't even put them in the same sentence. In truth, you really don't know amazing quality until you've tried Dreamy Creations. We're using them soon for our corporate event! Jenica you rock girl!!# winnercupcakewars read more

I visited the Dreamy Creations Cupcake Truck at Street Food Cinema in Pasadena. Based on the hype of winning Cupcake Wars 2x on Food Network, my expectations were set high. I wasn't worried about paying $6 for a single cupcake knowing it was backed by the Food Network, twice. I thought I couldn't go wrong and went for the Cookies and Cream. Well, I was so bummed after eating only half. It's definitely not worth the calories, in my opinion. The cupcake was dry. I hate to admit it, but I've had box mix cupcakes that are better. And, the frosting was very average: I didn't get any cookies or cream flavor, just basic vanilla and chocolate. I'm sad to say my cupcake was not a 'dreamy creation,' and I won't be back. read more

Was at my local Petsmart today and saw the truck. Had heard great things about their cupcakes but the girl working the truck was so rude I did not buy any. She was snappy (I don't know, I only work here was one answer) and never smiled. There are other cupcakes for less $$ and nicer employees. Never again. read more

I love cupcakes! I mean, who doesn't?! But these Dreamy Creations Cupcakes are DELICIOUS! And a cupcake truck is such a great idea! :) Can't wait to try some more of their flavors! read more

I bought the mini half dozen at an event and tried the red velvet and it was dry. It only tasted like dried cocoa powder. The frosting was grainy. Waste of 18$ and I gave the rest to my family and they didn't like it. Not worth the price. read more

I would recommend going to the actual location. There is a food fair at the northridge mall every Wednesday. They are usually there with the truck. They accept card, but the cupcakes obviously aren't as fresh as where they are baked. The truck isn't bad, just try the location off business center drive first! read more

Our office was blessed with a huge batch of these delicious mini cupcakes. They are not too sweet and that is perfect for me. I tasted the cinnamon and red velvet cupcakes. They were delicious and the buttercream icing was divine! NOT TOO SWEET just how I love my sweets! I also spotted oreo, chocolate, and sprinkles. Have not tried them but based on the taste of the cinnamon and red velvet cupcakes I am sure they aren't disappointing! read more

I have only tried the Red Velvet and it was AMAZING... Took one star away for price, over $4 is a little to much for one cupcake.

They sell some amazing cupcakes! My boyfriend and I picked up some cupcakes for dessert on the way back from a dinner outing and we loved them! We got the Campfire cupcake and the Red Velvet cupcake. We'll certainly be back when the truck is in our area again. read more

Tried them out at First Thursday in San Pedro since Sweet E's truck no longer comes out,(bummer as those treats are the bomb). Lots of flavors listed, so my son chose red velvet. There was no pricing on the truck so after boxing it up, was told that will be $6. Ummmm..it wasn't even the size of a Sprinkles or Yummy Cupcake, maybe 1/2 the size of a normal cupcake. Way over priced for the cupcake market in my opinion that wasn't that spectacular in taste and sorta dry. I'm pretty sure if the price was listed on the truck, no one would bother purchasing a $6 cupcake. I know I surely won't again. Definitely got duped on this truck. Folks looking for desserts trucks, this one will be a hard one on the wallet. read more

I don't even like dessert ... but I did try a creme brûlée cupcake and I can't wait to get it again.. so we also noticed they had orange lavender ice cream topped with coconut.. Amazing!!! Will be coming back every time!!! read more

So so disappointed. Got 2 cupcakes at the truck for $6 each - the birthday cake & the brownie. 1. Usually I think cupcakes have too much icing but ours had hardly any to cover each bite which make it difficult to 2. Eat the dry, dense, seemingly old cupcakes we bought. I mean.. when you spend $12 on 2 cupcakes (medium size not large like I'm use to at places like these) then they should be "on point" especially when advertising that you won a show 2x. All four of us tried it and all four of us were convinced that I bought old, dry cupcakes. The icing was good-whatever was on it. I would say I would try it again but I can't see myself spending another $12 for 2 more cupcakes just to update my review. It bugs me when u spend that much money-and in hindsight-it is a lot considering you are buying 2 cupcakes that are the size of a regular cupcake not like the big sizes like Sprinkle in NYC for 1/2 the cost read more
