    I spoke with Larry about doing a gender reveal cake. He had some great ideas, and was extremely flexible as well! I am gluten free so I couldn't eat it, however the icing was amazing! My husband and all of my guest raved about how good the cake was, and how dense and moist! Thank you Larry for helping with our special day!

    our wedding dessert table

    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!

    Funfetti mini cupcakes. AMAZING
    Airynn L.

    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!!

    smash cake for baby

    Larry did an amazing job creating two cakes for my son's first birthday. Not only were the cakes delicious but they perfectly captured the theme of the party. He really listened to what we wanted and delivered the perfect cakes. They were then devoured because they were so delicious. Will definitely be coming back to The Baking Fool for upcoming events we need cakes for.

    Thank you for being part of this special occasion, beginning these two young couples together. The cupcakes and the cake came out perfect!! I found The Baking Fool using a Yelp search and found the owner to be friendly, professional, accommodating AND TALENTED. Super exceeded my expectations way to go excellent service and product my next event for sure..... Highly recommend this company.

    Review from September 2024 Larry was recommended by my cousin, and he did not disappoint! We ordered cupcakes for our wedding, and they were a big hit with everyone. The strawberry flavor was a standout, and the caramel ones were just as delicious. We were really happy with the delivery, the service, and most importantly -- the taste. Would absolutely recommend!

    Flavor wedding cake for a wedding
    Ari T.

    My friend wanted a very simple cake and they nailed it. The flavor was delicate and the cake was moist. So impressed! Cupcakes were soft and most, the frosting was sweet and base of cream cheese. 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. Rescheduled the wedding but we are coming back for the second order :) Customer service 5/5 Communication 5/5 Price 5/5 Quality 5/5 Presentation 5/5

    Most delicious and beautiful Disney themed cupcakes
    Czarina D.

    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!

    Best birthday cake!
    Mona P.

    My husband ordered a custom cake for my birthday, and I couldn't be happier with the result! The design perfectly captured the theme, and the attention to detail was incredible. The flavor was out of this world--rich, moist, and just the right amount of sweetness. We had a hard time saving any for later! I highly recommend this bakery to anyone looking for a show-stopping cake that tastes as amazing as it looks! I'll definitely continue to use them for all future celebrations!

    Butter Themed Butter Stick Cake!
    Starr G.

    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!

    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!!)

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.

Funny thing was she didn't smile and the man who came after me she greeted him with a smile because they are of the same ethnicity.

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!

    This is a staple we visit every time we're in the area! This is one of the few local bakery's that…read moreare a gem. There so many items to try. I love that the menu is displayed on all the TVs with pictures. For someone who knows the desserts but doesn't know the names, it's a godsend. All pastries are freshly made to order/prepared to be heated up fresh for you. We love the dessert drinks and have been making it through the menu to try each one. I've order party trays of their jello. I called the day of to pickup. Super simple and quick. Workers are always so friendly and welcoming. They've never made a mistake on my order until recently. I gave them a call, told me to come back whenever for the missing pate chaud. The entrance where you order is tight. When the line gets long, the shop can be crowded to stand in and there is a longer wait for your order. Everything is worth a try! Reasonable prices. Small parking lot but people come and go quickly in this plaza.

    I discovered this place a while back. I have returned here and there for their rau cau (gelatin…read moremade w/agar agar). Recently, I have visited a lot more because my mom been wanting it. People do change lol The customer service here used to be great. Owner was patient and nice. Things have changed over years. Recent visit including today, the owner eyes weren't as kind as before. He was rushing my mom and felt irritated that she was asking questions. There were rau cau that came in singles and rau cau that came in 6. I never knew that the ones that came in six were just display and not for sale. My mom wanted to save the dude from grabbing single ones, so she asked for the tray of 6 Pandan coconut. He gave my mom attitude saying that he only sell the single ones. If she insisted in buying the tray of 6 then it will be extra cost. Lol in that case we rather get in singles..duh! More convenient to eat...crazy! Afterwards, when he noticed that my mom was buying more stuff, he kinda stopped with his attitude. Like yo...chill. One or two items, you're still making money. That how you became you today!!! I gonna give this place another chance. In the future, if he still act such ways..it's goodbye for good. For sure, I will lower the ratings as well. Place is lucky that although the service went down but the quality still the same.

    My family's first time trying the banana pudding from this shop! We definitely enjoyed the taste. I…read moredidn't think it was too sweet. It was just the right amount of wafers and bananas for my liking. Shop is located in downtown fullerton area. There is plenty of parking on the street or in a nearby lot

    I had such a strange experience at this location. I attempted to call in an order for their…read morealcohol infused cupcakes 1 week in advance and the girl on the other line informed me I wasn't allowed to pick out the flavors and stated "it's just whatever two flavors we have that day" which doesn't make sense and just seemed like a bad business model to me. Why offer so many flavors if you don't get a choice? I called again the next day and thankfully got a different worker who shared my confusion with me about the first worker. 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.
