This review is long overdue and I apologize. My experience with Karess has truly been amazing. She is very professional and creative. She supplied the desserts for my 30th dessert table back in June 14 (pictures attached). I looked on her blog at the many desserts she made, but actually wanted to request for different ones...and she did them all exactly how I imagined them to be. She is very pleasant to work with and responds to emails promptly, which is exactly how I like to work. This is what she made for me and my 100 guests. 1. Pink champagne cupcakes w/ St. Germain buttercream 2. Kahlua chocolate cupcakes w/ coffee cream 3. Martell Cordon Bleu infused chocolate dipped strawberries 4. White Chocolate Truffle spoons dipped in Chocolate with gold flakes 5. Tiramisu cups 6. Red Velvet Cake balls She supplied all the desserts with everything that was dressed on them all for an amazingly affordable price. I don't want to put her price on here as I know each person has their own unique requests, but I assure you, you will be happy with what Karess can do. I wish it was 5 stars but I could only put for 4 because I didn't actually get to taste the all the desserts. They flew off the table right after everyone sang Happy Birthday to me. I wish Karess would have made a care package for me with each dessert so I would be able to enjoy them after the party! Thank you Karess - I'll be contacting you soon with my daughter's birthday dessert table! read more

Karess perfectly helped execute my overall vision for my daughter's 1st birthday. She made a beautiful two tier ombré cake, 12 coordinating cupcakes, and 24 cake pops. I spent $220 which is very reasonable especially given the finished product. She even threw in some extra treats which was such a nice gesture. Also we got a free smash cake which you get with a minimum order I think. Not sure what that threshold is She was excellent with communication and was very accommodating. I'm referring her to all my mama friends! read more

After two years after my bridal shower, this time I needed to find someone to do the cupcakes and cakes for my baby shower. When I was doing the researchs, karess's massage on yelp came across to me, so I decided to give it a shot again, because her cakes looks really cute from the photos. And this time Karess responded really fast, and we set every details within one week, and she even offer me a free set of cake pop too. Today i finally get to see the cakes in real life, and it came out great! Everything looks so cute and taste good, wasn't over sweet. All my guests were asking about the cakes too! I'm glad that I give another shot a karess again, will definitely buy again. read more

I ordered two cakes from Karess for a graduation/birthday party. Both were beautifully designed. Karess followed my design requests to the T and everyone was very complimentary about the look of both cakes. I wanted a graduation cake that incorporated a Pokemon character and a simple design for the birthday cake and Karess gave me great options for both with examples from her Facebook page. The two flavors were red velvet with cream cheese frosting and a chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream and salted caramel. The red velvet tasted pretty standard. The chocolate cake was absolutely amazing. The salted caramel and the chocolate buttercream tasted great together. The buttercream frosting for both was also super delicious and not too sweet. I understand the frustrations of the other reviewers regarding her communication but people need to understand that this is a small business with just Karess responding to the emails. I am glad I read the reviews in advance so I gave her enough time to respond through the design planning. I will say I did have to send reminder emails twice when I didn't have a reply from her, including one regarding the delivery of the cakes on the day of the party which was pretty crucial. She did respond very quickly after I sent the reminder emails but if you're coming in with that expectation of not getting a same-day reply, there will be a lot less stress. Her pricing was competitive and the end product was very well received by the party! read more

Karess made a cake (chocolate) and cupcakes (vanilla and red velvet) for our daughter's Frozen-themed birthday party. AMAZING! Amazing flavor, consistency, just super yummy overall. And they looked great! Our guests couldn't stop talking about how incredible the cake/cupcakes were and we had people going back for seconds. We will definitely ask Karess to make desserts for our next event. She is very talented, responsive, pleasant, easy to work with, and reasonable! Highly recommend. read more

OMG. Everything was so absolutely BEAUTIFUL and delicious!!! Every guest commented how amazing the cupcakes and cake pops were!!! The Frozen themed cake was gorgeous... our 4yo couldn't keep her hands off it. Karess was so friendly and accommodating to all my requests and suggestions... she EXCEEDED my expectations and then some (which is no small feat)!! She delivered and set up the most stunning dessert table (especially under the circumstances but that's another long story and review).  I showed her off to all the mommies at the party about this rare gem of a baker I found locally in Irvine.  She is an absolute delight to work with and I will be using her going forward for all my baking needs!! You will not be disappointed! read more

Everything was so great! We got 3 dozen cupcakes- chocolate, vanilla and pumpkin spice all with cream cheese buttercream frosting- and a vanilla smash cake for my son's first birthday.

Thank you so much!! read more

This girl is still rocking it. I have been using her every year since I found her. The only change is that she gets better and better every year even though I didn't think it was possible to improve on the amazing creations that she put out to begin with. And as luck would have it, now she's making macarons. Best macarons I have ever had hands down! Thank you for doing such an amazing job and being so passionate about what you do Karess. You're awesome! I wish I could add more pictures of the macaroons and the amazing cake pops I had this year but I don't see the option on the mobile app for adding photos to an updated review. Take my word for it, you will not be disappointed. read more

Amazing on so many levels!!! She accommodated a very last minute order and THE DESIGN WAS AMAZING!!! Because I have ordered many elaborate cakes for many elaborate events, I had high hopes for the cake, but because it was so last minute, I wanted to be realistic and not have too high expectations. But...WOW! She completely surpassed my expectations. The design was exceptional and her talent far surpassed the talent of the other cake bakeries I've used in the past. I'm definitely hooked on Karess Kreations! read more

She is amazing! Did my cake for my baby shower just like the picture I showed her! She was always easy to get in contact with and responded so fast. If you go with her you won't be disappointed! I will definitely use her again in the future and recommend anyone that is looking for a fancy cake or desserts! You won't be disappointed!! read more

So... My friend used Karess's Creations for her daughter's birthday and I loved her cake. I reached out to her (via email on 6/29) for wedding cake inquiries. She responded (on July 7). Since her pricing is reasonable, I wanted to book her and I responded with questions (regarding how to book, how much do I need to pay for deposit, etc. on July 11), Karess did not respond. So I tried to re-send the email on July 21 and I sent her a text as well and I've never heard a word back. I would be fine if she could just say no. I would not recommend her to anyone based on the customer service I received. read more

Amazing. We had a last minute request for cake pops because we were dropped by a different company. We were having a Mario Brother's Baby Shower and we were a week away. Karess took our order that Tuesday and had our 40 pops ready by Saturday night. They were a HIT. They were the center of our decorations, Piranhas from the video games. She got every detail and they were delicious. She is very professional and the pops truly were the work of a very skilled baker. Thanks again for saving our party! read more

Oh my goodness, I can't even begin to describe how adorable and how perfectly to the T the cake was that Karess made for my baby shower. We got sooo many compliments. It looked exactly like the photo I sent her if not cuter, and tasted great too. The cake was a little denser than I expected but perfectly moist so it was great, and the filling and frosting weren't too sweet, and I usually don't eat frosting! Her response time via email was always super quick, and she accommodated our one week timeframe with no problem whereas most other bakers and bakeries were telling me I needed 2-3 weeks in advance. Her pricing was right in line too. I almost can't wait for the next occasion so I can have an excuse to use her again. I totally recommend! read more

Amazing flavour, better than any store bought cupcakes. Great for many occasions because of specialised designs, highly recommend

This review is so long overdue. I've been ordering cakes, cupcakes, & cake pops from Karess for over 4 yrs. I've been keeping it a secret to keep her all to myself ;) She is SUPERB at her crafts! Her work is not only beautiful but her attention to detail is amazing! I get a lot of compliments; it's so pretty that no one wants to cut it. To top it off, she uses the finest ingredients. Absolutely delicious!!! Can't wait to order from her again. read more

I specifically signed up for a Yelp account so I could write a review for Karess. First off, I couldn't get past how talented this woman is at such a young age! She's very easy to work with, incredibly accomodating and her prices are very reasonable. She made the cake (peppa pig theme), cupcakes and cake pops for my daughter's 3rd birthday and the taste was unbelievable. She knows how to make red velvet the way it's supposed to taste....moist and delish! The cupcakes were red velvet and pumpkin, both incredible. the cakepops were red velvet and banana which were so amazing that they ended up being party favors and our party guests took most of them home....leaving us with only 2 left. (sad face). I will definitely be using her for my future events. read more
