    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!

    The cake was beautiful, moist and oh so delicious. My son and his guests loved it. I will order from Sugar Dot again.

    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.

    Kristin was so incredible to work with and made my 30th birthday cake exactly as I wanted it. Not only was the cake beautiful, it was also delicious! Everyone asked for a second slice, and my fiancé definitely had a few extra bites when putting the leftovers away. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone and I will be placing future orders! Thanks again Kristin!

    Kristin has provided great service and communication for my son's last two birthdays. She can make a wide variety of celebratory treats for your party. For his recent birthday she made a delicious carrot cake with a jack skelington theme. The carrot cake was moist and delicious as she promised. The raspberry cupcakes from last year also did not disappoint . She delivered both times right on time.

    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!

    This was the most delicious carrot cake I have ever had. We bought this cake for my dad's 65th birthday party with a Beach Boy's theme - it was perfect! Great service - wonderful cake!

    My wedding cake was absolutely gorgeous and perfect. And it tasted fantastic!!

    If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Kristin went above and beyond to make a gorgeous cake for us with our perfect day. We had a beautiful spiced apple cake with salted caramel buttercream. Everyone was blown away with how delicious the cake was! She truly made my wedding day a magical event with her hard work and dedication.

    I reached out to Kristen to make a cake for a baby shower I was hosting. I had previously had her banana chocolate chip cake at another event and it was delicious!. I sent her a few pictures of what I had in mind, and her responsiveness was immediate and professional. When I picked up the cake, it far exceeded my expectations! It fit the theme of "Sea You Soon, Baby" elegantly and each detail was perfection. Everyone raved about not only how this speciality cake looked, but tasted. So moist! I will be a customer for life when looking for a special cake. Thanks, Kristin!

    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. You are amazing at what you do!"

    Banana Chocolate cake

    Kristin was wonderful to work with. I was looking for a cake to celebrate my son's marriage. He and his wife met in college on the triathlon team and I wanted the cake to represent how they met. The end result was spot on, they loved it! Bonus, the banana chocolate cake was delicious. They both felt that it was better than their wedding cake. Highly recommend.

    Beautiful, delicious birthday cake.

    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.

There were many to choose from, and I'm so glad I overheard the other customers ahead of us saying that the vanilla salted almond toffee flavor was what they are known for. We ended up getting that flavor as one of our two. For our second flavor of two scoops, we ended up getting the marshmallow neapolitan. -Vanilla salted almond toffee: I can see what the other customers meant for "this is what they're known for." I love that the almond is candied/carmelized with toffee. It gives it a roasty flavor, which gives the flavor so much depth. The almond also gives a bit of crunch/texture, which makes this flavor so unique. -Marshmallow neapolitan: I'm not typically someone who likes marshmallows or goes for neapolitan, as I don't like super sweet and I don't like mixing flavors. You can definitely taste all 3 flavors--vanilla, chocolate, strawberry. The marshmallow doesn't make the ice cream as sweet as I would have thought, it really just adds the marshmallow texture. The ice cream is very thick and creamy. It doesn't melt too fast to meld all the flavors together (which I don't really like), and I really appreciate that the ice cream holds together so well! The gentleman helping us was very patient in letting us try several flavors. The shop had a more old time feel. There is a bench to sit on to eat for a bit, but no tables. Overall, I would totally come back to try their unique flavors!

Receiving a texted coupon for 15% off my order, I was excited to use it since I needed a birthday cake. Though there was an online code, I could not use the discount online. I called the shop several times, but there was no answer, and I even left a voice message but never heard a call back. Finally I noticed there was number on the website to text so I did, and got a response. The response was that it was too late to order the cake, and the coupon couldn't be used online ordering system because the online ordering system was different from what was used in the store. BUT I was told I can still call my order in and pay in advance over the phone to get the 15% discount if I still wanted cupcakes, and if the store didn't answer, the person sending the text said he/she would contact the store. I appreciated that kind gesture. The next morning, I settled for cupcakes and decided to call the order in and pick up the cupcakes in the afternoon since I had no time that morning to go to the store. But lo and behold, I called and again no one answered. I texted the same number from the day before and a response came back that they would contact the store to give me a call. I checked in by calling the store two more times and still no answer. And no one called back that afternoon either. Sadly, I had to give up, but was glad to give business to a way more responsive bakery with delicious cakes.

I worked from the barstools for about an hour and a half. After the breakfast rush had passed, I noticed plenty of open tables along the wall. Since I had thrown out my back this week and desperately needed more support, I moved to one of them. The sign said the table was reserved for up to two hours for customers who ordered food. Great--I had ordered food and had only been sitting there for about an hour. Nope. The same barista who took my order approached me to explain that the table was reserved for customers who ordered food. When I reminded her that I had, she asked what I ordered--as if she hadn't personally rung me up. She then told me I needed to return to the backless barstool. I challenged this because it made absolutely no sense. There were plenty of open tables, I was a paying customer and I was within the posted two-hour limit. She simply repeated that it was the policy. To be clear, the problem isn't that the policy was poorly communicated. The policy should not exist in the first place. Kicking a paying customer out of an empty chair and directing them back to a barstool is a horrible business model that lacks basic respect and hospitality. I left angry, embarrassed and regretting the money I spent here. I will absolutely not be returning.
