I finally got to try the famous vegan chocolate cupcake that I've heard so much about. It was honestly the best cupcake I've ever had. I don't normally like frosting but this one was so smooth, creamy and not too sweet (unlike the frosting on most other cupcakes). I am already craving another one! read more

There are not enough words to thank Kristin with Sugar Dot Bake Shop for the delicious cakes she so perfectly made for our son's first birthday. We ordered a 10inch custom specialty cake (confetti flavor with fresh strawberry and cake crunchies) and smash cake that matched but was baby friendly (which our son loved), and my only regret is not getting better pictures for this review because they don't do justice. Kristin truly helped make the birthday memorable and DELICIOUS! Not only did the cake completely finish (which is a first usually large cakes have left overs), but everyone could not stop talking about how amazing it tasted. There were definitely 2nds and 3rd helpings eaten! With all of this said, Kristin also made the process very smooth, was accommodating with pick up time, and even circled back after the party to check in. Phenomenal customer service! We look forward to ordering more cakes in the future. read more

We've been lucky enough to work with Kristin for some of the most special celebrations in our family, and her talent is absolutely unmatched. For our daughter's first birthday, she created the most stunning princess-themed cake--almond-flavored with sugared almonds inside--along with an adorable smash cake. Not only was it breathtakingly beautiful, but it was also out-of-this-world delicious. She even made the cutest little flag banner spelling out our daughter's name, it was such a thoughtful touch and so well done. This Christmas, we made a unique request for a "Happy Birthday Jesus" cake (thanks to our 5-year-old's idea), and once again Kristin went above and beyond. The cake was even more gorgeous than I had imagined, and it was one of the highlights of our holiday (and a new tradition I think!) Next up is our son's 6th birthday, and she's designing a Deadpool and Wolverine cake--proving yet again there's truly nothing she can't do! Her cakes are the perfect combination of artistry and flavor, and every bite shows her incredible skill and attention to detail. I wouldn't trust anyone else to help make our celebrations this memorable. Highly, highly recommend! read more

On September 21st, my husband and I got married in Livermore, CA. After trying a few dessert shops we settled with Sugar Dot Bakeshop. We live in Walnut Creek and found Kristin after looking all over Yelp and Google. A few months before the wedding we did a trial to find out which desserts we wanted to do. Kristin gave us a sample of every type we were thinking of. In the end, we decided upon mini cupcakes (the same flavor of our wedding cake, vegan chocolate peanut butter mini cupcakes, dark chocolate strawberries, milk chocolate strawberries, mini doughnuts, Rice Krispies, brownies, lemon bars, chocolate chip cookies, and ultimately, our wedding cake. Kristin came all the way out to Livermore to deliver the desserts for our 140 person wedding. There was so much desert and honestly NONE was left! I found out later everyone went back for thirds and fifths of dessert they loved it so much. Sadly, my husband and I didn't get to have any! Note to future brides, designate someone to make you a dessert plate since you will be too busy. Luckily, I knew they were good already from the dessert sampling we did. My husband and I did eat our fresh strawberry wedding cake. It was delicious. We just wanted a small one to ceremonially cut. Half of it is currently in our freezer to eat on our one year anniversary! Kristin was even flexible with the flavors and designs. We did not like the original flavor of wedding cake and worked with her to find the most perfect one. Additionally, she was open to decorations and frosted the donuts and Rice Krispies in University of Oregon colors. It is our Alma Mater and where we met so this meant a lot to us. Kristin was fabulous to work with and we are so excited to use her services again in the future! Thank you again for making our day special. *I plan on adding more photos as I receive them! read more

My second time ordering from Kristin. Communication to end product, everything perfect again. I especially appreciated her true care on what the finished product would look like. We exchanged five or so emails to make sure the train was the right color, etc. Here is an email I just sent her. Thank you Kristin!! "Hi Kristin! I can't thank you enough for the cake! The next morning, I asked my son what the best part of his birthday was. He said "the cake" :) :) Our whole crowd was oohing and awwing over it. And another bonus was my husband, who self proclaims, "doesn't like cake" loved it! Looks like I'll have to be in touch in June for a Father's Day cake next!! Such a pleasure to work with you always.

I highly recommend Sugar Dot Bakery. I do not live in Walnut Creek but was having my party at a local venue. After researching bakeries and corresponding with them I chose Sugar Dot. I sent a picture of my dress and some ideas of what I wanted the cake to look like. Kristen sent back pictures of possible designs. I selected one and chose her cake flavor recommendations. She delivered the cake on time. It looked beautiful (exactly as I had imagined), matched my dress and tasted amazing. read more

Sugar Dot Bake Shop is awesome! I reached out 2-3 weeks in advance of my daughter's 6th birthday party to have Kristin, the owner, design and make a Super Mario themed 6 inch cake. I showed her several photos of Super Mario cakes from my online search and she made a fantastic cake! It was exactly what I wanted for my daughter and I also had her include toy figurines on the cake. Kristin was very transparent and responsive to my emails and answered all my questions. She also designed the cake topper and sent me a draft before finalizing it. Pickup was very easy as she provided clear instructions on where to go, what time, etc. My daughter absolutely loved the cake and the other parents at the party kept asking who made it. Sugar Dot Bake Shop is the best! I highly recommend it! read more

Kristin was so awesome to work with. I had been so busy with work and so many other things, I forgot about getting a cake for my Son's Birthday party. I reached out to her 2 to 3 days prior, hoping for a long shot that she would make the cake and she took our order! Kristin has awesome AWESOME flavors. I chose meyer lemon with raspberry butter cream and EVERYONE enjoyed it! We also got confetti cupcakes with confetti buttercream and those were delicious as well. She asked for the theme and made a custom topper as well. We loved the cake and so did our guests. They kept asking for her information for future parties. Becuase the flavors we're amazing, the cake was moist and nothing was too sweet. I will definitely go back again to order more for future parties as well. Thank you Kristin! read more

Ordered a vegan chocolate smash cake for my daughter's first birthday party, along with a dozen confetti cupcakes. The chocolate cake was amazing! My daughter even enjoyed it, which means something because she's not into anything sweet, yet anyway. & the cupcakes were delicious as well; the actual cake itself was so light and fluffy. I appreciated the communication from Kristin; I felt like all my needs, wants, and concerns were quickly handled. I highly recommend. I hope to have another event soon, so I can try more flavors! read more

Not only that, but both were moist and delicious! Will absolutely order cakes from her again. read more

Kristin deserves all of these fantastic reviews and more! After having bad experiences with other bakeries and cakes in the past, my co-host and I did make sure to do some extra fine tooth comb searching for the perfect Gender Reveal cake for one of best friends. With previous bakeries, although the cakes looked beautiful, they completely lacked in taste and quality. Honestly to me, they were inedible and a waste of money. If I wanted a cake to just look nice, I'd have a photo of one. After reading the reviews for Sugar Dot, we knew it was the one... not only did she deliver over and beyond customer service, the cake was absolutely beautiful and the flavor and freshness were out of the world! Everyone ranted and raved about how delicious it was and asked where we ordered the cake from! There was not a single slice left. If you want Quality, Presentation and incredible flavors, do not order from another! read more

Kristin was amazing to work with from start to finish. She answered all of my questions, dealt with my Pinterest picture examples like a pro, and even offered her professional advice and guidance which was very much appreciated. The decoration was exactly as I had requested. The flavors were wonderful. Lemon with lemon buttercream and fresh raspberries. My sister in law, the mother to be, was thrilled with the cake. As part of the goody bag I also ordered the rice crispy treats. I really had no expectations for the rice crispy treat, because apparently I have only eaten mediocre rice crispy treats in the past. Somehow, Kristin made thee most delicious, moist and flavorful rice crispy treat I have ever had. I highly recommend adding them to your next event. read more

The cake was excellent, the cupcakes delicious, the rice krispie treats scrumptious. I 100% recommend Sugar Dot Bake Shop. Thank you Kristin!!! read more

Kristin and her cake - both are absolutely wonderful! We ordered an under-the-sea themed cake for my kid's birthday and I wanted to incorporate elements of my baby's favorite sea creatures and favorite color into the cake. Kristin understood quickly what I needed. She is also very organized and confirmed the selections I had made for my cake (flavor, size, custom elements) a couple of times before finalizing the order. I appreciated this clarity greatly. Her communication is prompt and clear - which is a big relief for working parents who probably don't have time to reiterate or repeat things. She made some suggestions around the cake flavor - and I went with what she suggested. And I am glad I did! The cake was incredibly tasty and it looked beautiful. We got so many compliments when our guests saw and tasted the cake. Kristin is also extremely clear in her instructions around how to store the cake, when it take it out from the refrigerator before use, and how to store leftovers. We greatly appreciated these details. We now know where we'll go for all our future customers cake needs. Kristin - thank you for making my baby's big day so special! We love you. read more

Kristin is amazing! We did a gender reveal with our family and even though it was close to Thanksgiving she was still super responsive and able to bake us the most perfect cake for our occasion.

Sugar Dot Bake Shop - Gluten-free naked carrot cake - Desserts Near Me

I really didn't want to leave a review less that 5 stars but my experience was not as amazing as everyone else, I'm going to leave an honest opinion with photos. I hired Kristin for my little sister's Baby Shower based on the perfect 5 stars reviews and images of her work. I have never tried any of her baked goods. So I'm pretty much going in blindly, trusting yelp reviews. We first exchanged emails and she was NOT very responsive, and did not answer most of the MANY questions I had for her. She only responded to what she wanted to answer. I find myself repeating the same questions many times and she was not friendly in her response. Yet I went with the fantastic reviews and brushed it aside. I decided I'll go ahead and place my order as what can possibly go wrong if her reviews are so great. My sister deserves the BEST. You have to pay in full once you place the order and you only have 48 hours to cancel. I decided to make it simple and also order my cake topper with her (big mistake), she charged $16. I wish she gave me samples and more options, her customer service was poor. She sent me 1 image and then a 2nd one when I ask if she can do gold glitter (she just changed the font color). Again, poor communication on her part and I didn't want to upset her since she's doing the cake for a very special event. And it's now 1 week out, I can't get a refund if I wanted to. I had to trust the process and stay positive. Day of event. I get a text from her at 9:30am (pick up time 10:30am). I was mortified of the cake image she sent me. It was NOTHING like the images I sent her, the design or the color of the cake. I couldn't believe she would even send me an image of that cake thinking I would be ok with it! One hour before pick up time does not leave much room for fixing or buying another cake! Reference images were emailed in April of pale pink frosting and white flowers. The cake I got was HOT PINK frosting and orange flowers!!!!!!!!!!! I immediately texted her that was not what I ordered. I was literally crying as I'm hosting this very important event for a very important person in my life who was having her FIRST baby and she LOVES cake!!!! So Kristin calls me and said she can do it over in 15 minutes and that she couldn't find white flowers anywhere (that's a lie, white flowers are AVAILABLE year round at many locations, even safeway). How can you not find white flowers and have them ready when I placed my order in April and it's now June. Mind you, when I drove to pick up my cake, she literally lives around the corner from Wholefoods, Safeway, and Trader Joe's and you're telling me you couldn't get white flowers for a 6 inch cake? Blows my mind. 15 minutes later she somehow pulls it together and managed to redo the pink frosting and wow even got white flowers! I dont know what makes her think it was okay for me to pay $161 for a cake that I did not want with the first image. When I came to pick up the cake, she personally brought it out and said she wouldn't let me leave with a cake I didn't love. I don't understand how that was possible because I am now 10 minutes behind schedule due to this and where else would I buy a cake an hour before the event? I didn't have time to ask for better flowers, better gold drip that didn't look orange, and a better cake topper! At this point I had to take what I got and get to the event! I was cringing when she said that to me, why would you offer this to me when I picked up the cake the day of the event. You had since April to be this nice and worked with me to make the cake I loved. But you were short and mean and couldn't even hold a phone call during the whole entire process until the day of the event. The left side of the cake where the flowers were placed began to sink at the event (perhaps from all the removal of flowers and redoing of the entire exterior of the cake). And eventually there was hole in the cake so I had to ask the restaurant to cut the cake earlier than planned. I would've taken a photo of the cake with hole in it but I was just too upset and didn't want to ruin my sister's Baby Shower pointing it out. It was a very intimate and detailed oriented event for a party of 15, it was so special for her. The cake did not taste as amazing as everyone said, or maybe because I was left a bad taste in my mouth with the whole experience that I couldn't enjoy it? I picked the most popular flavor of strawberries filling with cake crunchies. I hope this review keeps you humble and reminds you that EVERY client matters, and taking your time out to make a call once the order is placed to go over details and questions would've been deeply appreciated. I 100% regret my order placed with you as I am a very unhappy customer, it's 4am the night after the event and I'm laying here bothered by the whole experience. I hope you do better Krisitin as I am very sad about this whole ordeal. read more

I was thrilled with the GF cake that my husband ordered for me from Sugar Dot! I simply found this baker and told him to get me something fun for my 50th birthday. Kristen and my husband took it from there. The delicious cake was almond flavored and the filling was a combination of fresh raspberries and buttercream. The trick with gluten-free cakes is always to please gluten and gluten-free eaters alike and this cake achieved that! Everyone's plate was licked clean and everyone wanted a second slice the next day. As you can see from the photo that Kristen provided, the cake's exterior was decorated beautifully. I would highly recommend Sugar Dot Bake Shop for any specialty cake you might desire! read more

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kristin and Sugar Dot Bake Shop. We had a quick consultation and I told her my budget, the minimum number of cupcakes I needed, and the theme (birthday and cars!). There were no allergies to worry about, so there were plenty of flavor varieties. She absolutely NAILED it. I mean, look at these cupcakes! I wanted to make them extra special since I wouldn't be there for my boyfriend's birthday, and she delivered (she put his name on the little license plate on the green car. I mean COME ON!). She also literally hand delivered these cupcakes, which was an important service for me. EVERYONE who tried these cupcakes had amazing things to say, including that you could taste how high quality the ingredients were. My boyfriend typically doesn't like frosting and he ate FOUR cupcakes that day, frosting and all. Kristin was incredibly helpful and professional. She even included a full birthday card and little car cut out with the order. These seemed a little pricey to me at first, but they're about the same price as ordering a dozen Sprinkles cupcakes online but these are WAYYYY better, and of course they include the phenomenal decor. I cannot say enough good things about my experience here and I will absolutely be ordering from Sugar Dot again! read more
