The cupcakes lived up to the yelp reviews. I ordered four dozen full size cupcakes for a child's birthday party. Two dozen triple chocolate, and two dozen strawberry wedding cheesecake. People raved about the strawberry cheesecake. I was asked by multiple people where I got these cupcakes from. I had the chance to sample both, and honestly the triple chocolate was delicious as well. The cake is moist, the frosting buttery and not super sweet. I can see why the strawberry cheesecake was the star of the show among the parents, though. As for customer service - great! Cupcake ready when promised. Larry helped me carry my order to the car, and gave me good instructions on care and transport. I would order from him again for any event. read more

I've been ordering cupcakes from here since COVID and they have never disappointed me. The cupcakes are always delicious and not overly sweet, which I really like. They are also very reliable with pickup times, and my orders are always ready when scheduled. I usually order the mini cupcakes for my kids' birthdays at school. My kids especially love the triple chocolate and the strawberry wedding favors flavors. The only small issue I've had is transporting them to school. Sometimes the mini cupcakes tilt a little during the drive. Other than that, everything has always been great and the cupcakes are always a hit with the kids. read more

I found The Baking Fool online while looking for bakeries near our wedding venue and I'm so glad I did! My now-husband and I did an OC bakery crawl one Saturday to pick where to order our cutting cake and cupcakes from and we both chose The Baking Fool as our top choice based on price, flavor, texture (we tried triple chocolate and ordered that flavor as well as caramel apple and pumpkin spice for our wedding - all fantastic!). They also had great suggestions for us as a business that's baked for weddings before, and pricing was great for the result. They're a small home bakery so specific orders do need to be made in advance. The Baking Fool has a repeat customer in me whenever I need cake! read more

WOW WOW WOW!! I cannot say enough good things about this company and their delicious desserts. The owners are a pleasure to deal with. Larry was so nice and such a funny guy. Their prices are unbeatable and their dessert quality is unmatched. I ordered a total of 48 mini cupcakes for my son's first birthday party (24 funfetti & 24 carrot cake). Both were absolutely delicious but the funfetti are to die for. To put it into perspective: I had about 45 adults and 10 children (including babies) at this party and only 6 cupcakes were leftover. We also had a large sized nothing Bundt Cake and over 70 macarons served. We probably had enough dessert to feed a 100 person party. So the fact that we had only 6 cupcakes left blew my mind. The mini cupcakes were the star of the show. I am not exaggerating when I say that everyone approached me to ask where the cupcakes came from. I happily provided The Baking Fool's info to them! I look forward to future orders!! read more

Baking Fool is known for their cheesecake cupcakes, and they really are as good as everyone says. Every time I order, it is always a hit. The texture is rich and creamy, the flavors are balanced, and people always ask where I got them. If you need an easy crowd pleaser for a party or gathering, order the cheesecake cupcakes from here.

I had an excellent experience with this company for my sister's graduation! They were so accommodating and attentive when I placed my order. The order came out better than expected, the cupcakes were gorgeous and absolutely delicious! They were the most talked about by my guests at the event, hands down! They conveniently offer delivery and set up, and the owner let us kindly borrow a wooden stand to set the cakes on which was lovely. He also created custom flavor cards with the school logo on them which was a nice touch! We loved the cupcakes so much, we made a personal order of different flavors the very next day which were delicious! Thank you so much for all you do! read more

I ordered 120 mini cupcakes for our baby shower in the flavors Double Chocolate, Strawberry Wedding Cake, Red Velvet, Confetti, and Caramel Macchiato, and they were a huge hit! We had about 97 guests (including kids), and pretty much all of the cupcakes were gone by the end of the event. The quantity worked out perfectly. The cupcakes were delicious. I honestly am not usually a cream cheese frosting person, but the frosting on both the standard and specialty cupcakes was so good. My husband especially loved the Red Velvet and Strawberry Wedding Cake flavors. One of our guests even mentioned that they normally don't like cake and raved about how good the cupcakes were. Ordering was also very easy. I loved that their website had all the information needed, and placing the order over the phone was simple. Larry was easy to get ahold of and very helpful throughout the process. We did have a small hiccup the day of the event, but Larry and his wife truly went above and beyond to make things right and ensure we got our cupcakes and were happy with the outcome. Their care, customer service, and effort meant a lot to us. Thank you for helping make our baby shower so special and delicious. We really appreciated everything you did and would absolutely order again! read more

My fiancé ordered cupcakes from The Baking Fool for my bridal shower and they were absolutely perfect! They were a hit! My fiance said working with Lawrence was incredibly easy. My shower was subtley Disney themed so he wanted to incorporate that theme into the cupcakes. My fiance told Lawrence what he had in mind and Lawrence walked him through what he could do. He even made recommendations and threw in ideas that my fiance could work with. Lawrence was also super accommodating! My fiance even added a dozen cupcakes last minute and Lawrence was able to help us out! He's the best. The cupcakes themselves were so beautiful! AND DELICIOUS. Each cupcake was moist and not too sweet. Each cupcake was a work of art because they were all decorated to perfection. We had 5 cupcakes available for our guests: Churro Cupcake (with a cute lil mini churro on top), Cookies and Cream Cupcake (with cute Minnie decoration and the Grey Stuff frosting from Beauty the Beast), Red Velvet Cheesecake Cupcake (decorated with a red rose for Beauty and the Beast), Triple Chocolate (decorated to represent Frozen), and a Strawberry Wedding Cheesecake. Highly recommend The Baking Fool! read more

It's their brand frosting. Every Friday they release flavors of the week to try. My friend chose for a quick wedding and they worked with us on a time crunch.

We tried these mini cupcakes at a friend's kid's birthday party and they were so good we got them for our kid's birthday party. Ordered last minute (2 days before) and were expecting to be turned away like some other places but Larry worked with us and got the cupcakes made in time for our party! We got the lemon and red velvet mini cupcakes. Practically everyone asked me where I got the cupcakes from - they were that good. Not too sweet, light batter and frosting, and did not melt sitting at room temp during a 4 hour party. Overall a big hit and we will definitely be ordering more any chance we get! read more

First of all Larry is literally a king!!! He is so sweet and so easy to work with! Picking up the desserts is easy and simple! Just drove up and the scheduled time and rang the doorbell and he was so helpful with helping me get the cake into my car. I was a bit late picking up the cake and gave him a call and he was super understanding. This is my second time ordering from his business and I am a baker myself who is always in charge of making all the family members cakes. I vow not to bake my own and I'm hesitant sometimes to entrust another person to make my cake. When I say with the bottom of my heart having my cake baked by Larry is *chefs kiss* every time I've ordered I've never ever been dissatisfied. The cake I ordered was a red velvet cake it was so delicious! The cheesecakes, and cupcakes too are perfectly moist and amazing frosting!!! For my 25th birthday the theme was 25 butter be good and I called Larry up and he was so happy to do it! He thought it was funny too. I let him take free rein and I was so happy with the end product. He made paper on the bottom of the cake to look like it was wrapped stick of butter and the knife to look like someone was cutting to get some butter. The baking fool will always be my go to baking spot for any cakes, cupcakes, or cheesecakes that I don't want to bake myself! read more

We found Larry on Yelp and was amazed by all the reviews so we took a chance ordering our wedding cake from him and it was the best decision ever!! Our wedding cake flavor was triple chocolate with raspberry filling and let me tell you there wasn't a single piece of cake leftover (I wish so now I gotta order another one haha)! We all couldn't stop raving about how delicious it tasted. It fluffy, moist, and had the right amount of sweetness (not too sweet) so it was perfect for all ages at our party. Since we had a micro wedding we did a simple cake with black frosting, black ganache dripping and flowers to match our October wedding for spooky season and it came out beautiful. If you made it this far and you're still thinking about it...just go ahead and call Larry because it is so worth it! Thank you again Larry!! read more

Definitely 120% would recommend this for people who are dessert lovers or even non dessert lovers!!! Stumbled upon this hidden gem when visiting my family's friend house which is located in this neighborhood. The owner (I assumed) was super friendly and waved at me. I was like wow what a nice neighbor. Then when I was about to leave i took a glanced over and saw their banner "The Baking Fool". I quickly went on yelp and wanted to support them. I didn't even expect much tbh! I called and the gentleman picked up the phone and i asked what cupcakes he had left, he said red velvet cheesecake. In my mind i was like eh, since i'm NOT a fan of cheesecake nor red velvet, like I said wanted to support local home bakery! When i got home I took a bite and OH MY GOODNESS, the BEST cupcake ever, i love how its not TOO SWEET, it was just so so moist!! *drooling while writing this review* Oh, did i mentioned i am not a fan of cheesecake nor RV? TOTALLY CHANGED MY WHOLE PERSPECTIVE. I called back the very next day and two days later but sadly they ran out and looks like they are completely BOOKED, which is good for them!! I won't give up, i need these cupcakes! Give them a try, i promise you WON'T REGRET IT!! read more

This review is overdue. I can't begin to describe how delicious our dessert bar was! I was in a panic to find a new baker and luckily, my aunt came across Larry's place on Yelp. I called Larry immediately to place an order and wow, did he deliver on every promise. We did a full dessert bar for our wedding. Mini cupcakes, mini cheesecakes, so many different flavors. Everyone loved them. My only regret is I didn't get to try everything but as the bride I kind of expected that. You're almost too busy to eat. My family will definitely be ordering for future parties and events. Photos are only a small preview of what we had. We couldn't fit everything on the platters so my planner replenished desserts throughout the event. Don't hesitate to order some goodies from Larry! Thank you again!!!! read more

Last time I came into this amazing place I made the mistake of not trying their pup cupcakes!…read more It was my dogs birthday so I made the drive from Long Beach to HB. Because 1- My dog is worth it. And 2- they have the best human cupcakes I've ever had lol When I walked in I was immediately greeted by the owner who is so incredibly sweet. She remembered me and greeted me like she's known me for years. They had a 4 pack of pup cakes already packed up. So I grabbed those and told her it was my dogs birthday. Don't forget to ask her if she has a free candle or birthday topper available! She usually has a bunch behind the counter she hands out. She gave me a candle (I got to pick out the color) and I got a little tiny happy birthday topper to put in the pup cake PS- the pup cupcakes smell absolutely delicious! The peanut butter frosting smells out of this world. I almost took a bite. As always, this place is extremely clean Staff is great! Parking is great! Flavors to pick from are great They have a huge variety. I'm so bummed I got there too late and missed out on their coconut cupcake and they had a pistachio one!! (Her flavors are always the best and always changing) So I had to go with my old trusty. I got a wedding cake one and a birthday confetti one. Again, these cupcakes are HUGE. They have the perfect amount of frosting vs cake ratio, they are not dry at all!!! Hands down the best in Orange County I got sucked in. She can make any of her cupcake flavors into a donut. So I tried the strawberry donut (inspired by her strawberry cupcake) the donuts are all in the back and not on display like the cupcakes are It's the best of both worlds The donut was light and fresh. It tasted like a Krispy Kreme but with the delicious frosting of a cupcake. This is on the sweeter side, for me? Sweeter the better. But might be too sweet for others. I can't wait to come back here for all my cupcake and cake needs in the future!!! Give them a try, you and your dog will be extremely satisfied (I have never seen any bakery that is this dog friendly!!)

A good friend of mine had a birthday party for her daughter and the cake was so good! When I asked…read moreher the name of the bakery, she provided me this cake shop's information. I went in for a custom cake order, and the owner was able to accommodate within a 72 hour window. I'll say that my daughter does not actually eat cake. She eats frosting, but when I tell you, she ate her entire slice including the cake and the buttercream frosting! The cake was so moist and so beautiful! The prices are fair for the quality that you receive. However, I will say that when I inquired on a separate order if she's able to accommodate for gluten allergies, she said unfortunately no. Although her website does advertise that she can. Besides that, this is a solid option for custom cakes, especially if you like them small and stacked.

Since it was my first time I was looking at the menu and their staff kept asking me questions and I felt pressured to make a decision. They did make recommendations but it wasn't anything I liked. I disclosed up front I wanted the labubu topping, and they said a drink was required. No problem. I was going to get a drink anyways. Honestly I would have gotten more stuff in general if the service was better. I ordered the Cereal Flakes Milk Tea ($7) and added the Labubu Jelly ($2.50?). For their characters, I am told they all taste the same. It looks like they use molds, but a lot of the execution is sloppy and the colors get mixed over to different sections. I would pay more for a better executed character. Okay, I had all my stuff with me and talked about outlets because I was clearly enjoying my purchase for here... tell me why... this young man decided to package everything up in togo packaging and then he even put my labubu in a separate container, and there was no space for me to throw the topping on. THIS REALLY DEFEATS THE PURPOSE OF MY VISIT. Also I gave them back all the togo materials cause I felt like that was wasteful. Anyways, I liked the drink. Don't think it tastes like a cereal drink... but oh well. The taste was good, but it needs a different name. The labubu jelly was overly gelatinous. I know it's a formula balance with the ingredients when using these molds so it comes out, and lasts, but I feel like this could be a little silkier. Enjoy the gimmick. I really didn't expect much coming here. Just for laughs and some photos. I would come back if my niece wants to check it out... but I hope their customer service improves during future visits.

She's swift and efficient with her responses. I was provided with a menu link, Instagram, Yelp, and a quote instantly to look over.

The selection of desserts offered provides a great variation to suit a range of taste buds which was perfect for what I was seeking! They are also bite sized, which made them easy for guests to grab and try a few different ones. The presentation is simple, clean, and elegant. The price points are fair and delivery/drop off can even be purchased for an additional fee if needed.

The Vegan Red Velvet Cupcake (which ironically is my favorite even though I'm not Vegan, I just think it tastes better than the regular red velvet cupcake) is 490 calories! Sheesh! But still it's pretty amazing with all of the delicious chocolate. They also make 6" and 8" cakes as well as smaller "individual" cakes. They have a club where you can sign up to get points where you can earn free cupcakes as well as a free cupcake on your birthday month which is awesome! This location is in the shopping center in CDM between MacArthur/Avocado and PCH by the library. Parking is free and plentiful and they also do curbside. However I found it's often quicker just to come inside and get your order yourself. They used to have 2 locations where one was retail and one was curbside but now it's all combined in their old retail location (the left hand side one as your'e looking at the store front). Inside you can order from a kiosk or with a person and they have the rack right when you walk in where they have their pick up orders. I like ordering online so it's easy and fast to pick up the orders and when you order online that adds to your points as well. I love how they have seasonal flavors but the Vegan Red Velvet is by far my favorite flavor! The only place that does a better Red Velvet (imho) is Nothing Bundt Cakes since they put chocolate chips in their Red Velvet cake. But if you're a fan of red velvet, I'd recommend giving the Vegan Red Velvet a try! I like it better than the non-vegan and I think that's literally the only Vegan thing I can say that about!

They wrote down my order (I got 4 different flavors) and I was set to pick up. The day I picked up my cupcakes, I noticed they looked different from the online pictures (but whatever, they still looked cute). I also noticed they gave me a wrong flavor (I ordered chocolate whiskey and they gave me caramel something instead). I made the mistake known to the cashier but she looked so confused and said "yeah.. thats the chocolate whiskey" which it clearly wasn't because there was caramel slathered on top and did not match the online description and the in person display. I showed the cashier the description and referenced the in person display and the cashier still seemed confused and said "yeah... thats the chocolate whiskey. What would you like me to do?" And I had to spell it out for her and say "take these caramel ones out and replace them with the ones I ordered" and had to point and all and the cashier just said "oh okay." It was super weird and frustrating. Anyways, taste wise- the alcohol infused cupcakes don't really have a flavor of alcohol and the batter kind of tastes like the box mix. Super strange experience for mid to below mid tasting cupcakes.

We ordered a large order of coffee, Oreo, triple chocolate, and strawberry wedding cheesecake cupcakes for our wedding. The cupcakes were such a hit with all our guests! So soft and yummy, and just the perfect amount of richness and sweetness. Many people commented on how they loved that the Oreo cupcakes had a whole Oreo on the bottom. Our families were sad when we finally ran out of the leftover cupcakes haha. We used their delivery service for $50 and it was well worth it! Larry was so professional throughout the whole process leading up to the wedding and answered all our questions about payment and options so patiently. The day of our wedding went so smoothly. Larry came on time and worked so well with our coordinators as to not disrupt any wedding activities going on, and he made sure to check with us that everything was exactly as we wanted before he left! He set up the cupcakes so beautifully using our cupcake stands (after we set up the stands). Everything looked gorgeous and pristine. It was so nice to not have to worry about picking up that many cupcakes ourselves and worrying about anything happening en route. read more

Ordered 6 dozen mini cupcakes for a Baby Shower yesterday and they were a huge hit! 2 dozen each of Triple Chocolate, Strawberry and Red Velvet. All of the guests took one of each and had nothing but good things to say. People kept coming back for more and wanted to know where I got them from. The mini cupcakes were so moist and tasty. Perfect ratio of cake to frosting and the frosting was not overly sweet. Next time, I will be sure to ask Larry for some business cards so I can share them at the event.

Last time I came into this amazing place I made the mistake of not trying their pup cupcakes!…read more It was my dogs birthday so I made the drive from Long Beach to HB. Because 1- My dog is worth it. And 2- they have the best human cupcakes I've ever had lol When I walked in I was immediately greeted by the owner who is so incredibly sweet. She remembered me and greeted me like she's known me for years. They had a 4 pack of pup cakes already packed up. So I grabbed those and told her it was my dogs birthday. Don't forget to ask her if she has a free candle or birthday topper available! She usually has a bunch behind the counter she hands out. She gave me a candle (I got to pick out the color) and I got a little tiny happy birthday topper to put in the pup cake PS- the pup cupcakes smell absolutely delicious! The peanut butter frosting smells out of this world. I almost took a bite. As always, this place is extremely clean Staff is great! Parking is great! Flavors to pick from are great They have a huge variety. I'm so bummed I got there too late and missed out on their coconut cupcake and they had a pistachio one!! (Her flavors are always the best and always changing) So I had to go with my old trusty. I got a wedding cake one and a birthday confetti one. Again, these cupcakes are HUGE. They have the perfect amount of frosting vs cake ratio, they are not dry at all!!! Hands down the best in Orange County I got sucked in. She can make any of her cupcake flavors into a donut. So I tried the strawberry donut (inspired by her strawberry cupcake) the donuts are all in the back and not on display like the cupcakes are It's the best of both worlds The donut was light and fresh. It tasted like a Krispy Kreme but with the delicious frosting of a cupcake. This is on the sweeter side, for me? Sweeter the better. But might be too sweet for others. I can't wait to come back here for all my cupcake and cake needs in the future!!! Give them a try, you and your dog will be extremely satisfied (I have never seen any bakery that is this dog friendly!!)

A good friend of mine had a birthday party for her daughter and the cake was so good! When I asked…read moreher the name of the bakery, she provided me this cake shop's information. I went in for a custom cake order, and the owner was able to accommodate within a 72 hour window. I'll say that my daughter does not actually eat cake. She eats frosting, but when I tell you, she ate her entire slice including the cake and the buttercream frosting! The cake was so moist and so beautiful! The prices are fair for the quality that you receive. However, I will say that when I inquired on a separate order if she's able to accommodate for gluten allergies, she said unfortunately no. Although her website does advertise that she can. Besides that, this is a solid option for custom cakes, especially if you like them small and stacked.

I love Amazing Cakes I have been going there for many years ..Some were Birthday cakes.. Holy first…read moreCommunion and I will be there today 8-18-26 .. Lupe is Amazing and so is her staff

Was looking for a small 8 inch round nearest to me, noticed they needed to be ordered ahead of…read moretime, so pivoted to a few cupcakes. Arrived as a walk in, I did call prior confirming they had cupcakes and they indicated they had them except red velvet. When I arrived I was greeted nicely, asked to see the cupcakes, then it went a little sour when I told her I only wanted 2 or 3. My apologies. I needed for a photoshoot, it was National Black Cat Appreciation Day. Afterwards was gonna give them to friends in celebration. I picked three, she placed in a clear plastic cupcake holder, closed the top, and smashed the frosting and decorations. She proceeded to sell to me. So rather than be more of a bother, I paid for them, couldn't use for the photoshoot, called it a day. Sour deal for me. Yes I could have complained, been picky, and asked for new ones. Should I have to? They are cake bakery owners. They know what they are doing. I did try the cupcakes, & they were no better than the experience. The three cupcakes ordered: Strawberry on strawberry birthday cake and confetti can't remember the third, it was a lemon filled maybe.
