If you're not counting calories and are willing to treat yourself; dolce monachellis is a great way to do so. Usually I get a box at the huntingbeach surf city nights on Tuesdays which comes with a bonus cake on the side. Enjoyed the pumpkin flavor so much that the half I was saving for home, didn't make it out of the parking lot that Tuesday night lol. Thankfully that have a bakery home store you can pick up from on select days during select hours so I cruised by for two cakes before Halloween to enjoy instead of candy this year :) Friendly staff delicious cakes and prompt service read more

This cake was so soft and fluffy it was like biting into a cloud, with a rum flavor so rich and buttery I was grinning like a kid on a sugar high. Those pecans sprinkled around the top? Crunchy perfection--gave it that extra oomph like an Italian grandma sneezed in some love. My only beef? I wish they'd chill with the dyes and artificial junk. It tasted like heaven, but I kept thinking, "Do we need all these artificial ingredients and colors (Red 40, Yellow 5) that should be avoided in my cake?" Still, it was so good I almost forgot to care and shoveled in another slice. Dolce Monachelli's, you made my birthday extra sweet--would love to see a cleaner type of choice on the ingredients, and you'd get that sixth star! read more

I need to thank the gentleman that worked the booth at Seal Beach pier this morning! I was FaceTiming my mom who lives in another state while checking out the variety of delicious bundt cakes (sampled the Italian rum and it was AMAZING). I told him it was my mom's birthday and he took the time to greet my mom a HBD as I was buying 3 delicious mini cakes. Clean and simple setup and awesome service! Thank you so much for making her day! read more

Dolce Monachelli's - Chocolate cappuccino, Ube cream, Italian rum - Bakeries Near Me - Fullerton, California

Came by this booth at the Wednesday Mt. SAC Farmer's Market. The owner Chris was at the booth and told me about the history of his company. I picked up three flavors: Chocolate Decadence, Lemon Citrus, and the one that started it all - Italian Butter Rum. The flavors were all good, although the chocolate decadence cake was pretty dry and tasted stale. The Italian Butter Rum was my favorite of the three, I can see why this one is a best seller. I would come back and get a big Bundt cake size of this one if they had it! They do have an actual store in Fullerton if you want to order ahead for pick up! read more

Stumbled upon this delectable local gem while prowling Monrovia's Friday night farmers market for dessert - what a sweet treat! We got a BabyCakes sampler and a mini Bundt - all the flavors were wonderful - I even liked their red velvet cake and I never like red velvet lol! For the mini Bundt, we tried their strawberry cake with raspberry icing and it was lovely! Our BabyCakes sampler had six flavors as follows: 2 Cinnamon Churro, 2 Chocolate, 1 Italian Rum Butter, 1 Lemon Citrus, 1 Red Velvet, & 1 Unicornfetti. All the flavors are fantastic- definitely taste according to their names. And the textures are perfectly moist and spongy - even after being refrigerated for 3 days - impressive! The lemon, strawberry, and churro were our faves. Dolce Monachelli is known for their farmers market stands which is where I found them - but they also have a store front in Fullerton. They ship their cakes all over the country as well if you order via their website (except for the BabyCakes sampler bc it doesn't ship well). Prices are reasonable given the quality. Staff at the market stall were very welcoming and they offer samples of their popular Italian rum butter. I'll definitely be seeking them out at our local weekly farmers market again! read more

These are the best Bundt cakes I've ever had. They have a variety of flavors but my favorite is the chocolate cappuccino. And the cakes are so moist it basically melts into your mouth. The service has always been good-- I've been to two different farmers markets where they were setup. Both times the people behind the table were knowledgeable and friendly. read more

My bond with these yummy mini bundt cakes transcends over a decade now - I remember when they would set up shop at the quarterly Vendor Fairs that UCI hosts. I stopped by early this evening to pick up more yummy treats. Dolce Monachelli's is a family-owned business with a retail store in Fullerton. I'm all about supporting local businesses, but the fact that I've bought bundt cakes from them way back when I was a UCI student, definitely has meaning. While their prices have gone up since my last visit (who hasn't/can't blame them) - the mini bundt cakes are just as delicious as I remember. I used to be able to pick up 3 for $10, now they are 3 for $14 or 4 for $17. Still a great deal - and you'll agree too upon first bite. Service is friendly and cheerful as usual - they offer you a sample right as you walk up. I already knew what flavors I wanted and wanted to try - picked up 2x Carrot Cake, 1x Chocolate Whiskey and 1x Chocolate Cappuccino. Chris sufficiently answered my question about what their frosting was like compared to "Nothing Bundt Cakes" - where I typically buy my bundt cakes from (more widely available). He said it was cream cheese based, and a little less sweet - which I totally agree with. My plan is to ravenously devour these four today (Monday), so if there's any more flavors I crave, I can stop by sometime before the end of the week, since they're setting up shop at UCI this entire week. read more

I feel like I totally got sold at the Farmer's Market. They offered a sample of the Italian rum with nuts and it was so delicious. We were told it was an authentic recipe of the owners mother passed down. We got a variety of flavors to try. We were so disappointed when we got home to see that the cakes are made with soy oil and a bunch of artificial ingredients. Also all of the other flavors completely fell flat compared to the Italian rum with nuts. I gave the funfetti to my kids and they took one bite and left the rest. We love supporting small businesses but we won't be buying these again. You're better off going to Nothing Bundt cakes for the price. read more

TL;DR The Italian Butter Rum cake is a standout, capturing the essence of what a great dessert should be. 4.5/5 Your Thoughts? 1.5/2 The Italian Butter Rum cake tasted homemade and impressed with its moist, light, and delicious qualities. It's the kind of cake cheating days were made for. The chocolate cake was just okay; it wasn't sweet enough for my preference, though it benefited from lacking an artificial taste, which gave it a more genuine flavor. The red velvet cake fell short of expectations and was not particularly great, lacking the distinctive qualities that typically make red velvet one of my favorites. Expenses: 1/1 I was treated to these sweets treats, but whatever the Italian Butter Rum cake cost, it's worth it. Location: 1/1 I can't recall where these were purchased from, but it must've been one of the farmer's markets I frequent. I'll update the review with more relevant details next time I grab more cake. Possibility of a Future Visit & Recommendation: 1/1 While the Italian Butter Rum cake was a delightful discovery, the other flavors did not live up to the same standard. I would consider returning to enjoy the Butter Rum cake again but might hesitate to explore further unless there are improvements in the other offerings. read more

I found these small cakes at the Monrovia Farmers Market on Friday and they were delicious. They gave out a few free samples and it was so good had to try out a few of the other flavors so I bought one to take home. Thought what's enjoyable was that they weren't overly sweet, felt like it was just right. For $5 a small cake, it wasn't too bad! read more

I have been a fan of this bakery since I was first introduced at the Whittier farmers market many years ago. So you can imagine my excitement when I found them at the Monrovia Farmers Market Friday night. I immediately went there to grab an Italian Rum Butter cake for a birthday cake this weekend. The Italian Rum Butter cake is an amazing cake that is consistently great every time you buy it. This bakery has really perfected the recipe for any of the cakes you try. Every cake is moist and light. It's buttery and rich in all the right ways. The only problem you will find yourself in is how to justify buying one of each flavor. I hope you support and enjoy this bakery as much as I have over the years. The owners are awesome and truly a stand worth stopping by if you see them at the farmers market. They also ship cakes nationwide and have a website you can place orders through. Will definitely be back. read more

I have been enjoying their gluten free cakes for years at the Friday night festival in Monrovia. They even made a large gf cake for my daughter's birthday and it made her day. Thank you for including those who cannot tolerate gluten and making the cakes so good that you can't tell they are gluten free! read more

super nice and sweet cakes are super good i wish the best for this family business. found them at UCSD and it was super good and tasty

This bakery brand can be purchased at the Local Farmers Market at Marine Stadium, Long Beach, on Wednesday afternoons from three to seven o'clock. While my favorite so far is still their taqueria margarita cake from our first market visit, we subsequently bought carrot cake, lemon poppyseed and pineapple upside down cake. This last purchase was very tasty but the toughness of the pineapple caused me to check out previous reviews. Most are quite favorable but it seems aficionados are able to tell which cakes have just been freshly baked. This last purchase may not have been. I'm looking forward to to trying their rum cake which seems to be a fan favorite. The lady who man's this booth is sweeter than the cakes thems. A treasure! read more

It's great most of their bundts flavors are non dairy if you don't add the frosting. When I called they were super helpful in answering all my questions. They even put the cream cheese frosting on the side so those of us who could eat dairy could add it ourselves. Ordered the carrot cake and it was very moist and the cream cheese frosting was yummy. If you aren't eating right away make sure to freeze! I'll definitely try the chocolate or red velvet next time! read more

Full disclosure I've never been to the actual Bakery, but I have gone out of my way to go to farmers markets that they frequent just to get their sweets!! The Italian butter rum cake is absolutely my favorite and I will bring it to every family function that I can as everyone always asks for it!!! Their confetti and cinnamon ones are my next favorite but I've honestly never had a sweet from here that doesn't hit the spot!! Worth the follow, love finding them at farmers markets. read more

As a reviewer that I have found many bakeries there have been the ones that have created the most Incredible dishes and the ones that have the most creative bakeries and the most creative recipes. There are some cakes that are from the desert restaurants which can be found that the deserts that are from the box these types of Bundt cakes are the most incredible tasting and the most flavorful. When I had attended Oktoberfest, I wanted to see the many sellers and what they offer when I had come across the tent the sweet aroma of Almond was the one that told me there was good flavor at the table. There are many bakeries that are here in San Diego that have now showcased the many flavors of the Bundt cakes and the flavorful coffees to go with them. The many years that the Bundt cake desert start in the year 1966 from the Pillsbury cook off and the many deserts that the Bundt cake was served with from the many side dishes of fried chicken. The Bundt cakes were created by David Dalquist from there Bundt Cake was created to be as a coffee house deserts yet from winning the second prize from the cook offs the desert itself and the many flavors that you see from Bundt cakes from Dolce offers are the best flavors to taste of pure almond amaretto the pure liquor taste the strong flavor making the Dolce Monachellis the best. The mini-Bundt cakes that had caught my eye the many flavors some that had light liquor flavor Chocolate Whiskey. The owner of the company that was at the Oktoberfest and what he told me about the flavors I found that it was helpful and the prices they had there some of the best to sell the small ones for $5.00. The Churro Bundt cake which had a very flavorful cake and the cinnamon and sugar that went well with the cake and the flavor I had with coffee the best in taste. The Bundt cakes at the Oktoberfest some of the best deserts which has flavor and the taste of pure flavors and the true flavors of Italian Bundt Cakes. As a reviewer the many bakeries and the many bake sales that I have attended the many cakes just have lost the flavors and yet the ones that are the greatest are the Bundt Cakes so flavorful and the best with having with large groups of people. read more

They were at the Avocado Festival in Fallbrook... I just had been craving a simple goodie, something sweet but not tooo sugary and these little cakes were the ticket. I bought the sampler pack and got a free mini cake... Delicious. The lemon is to die for, literally, so full of flavor and just the perfect size. I could have had 2, but snack size was best. The chocolate cake was yummy too. So glad to have gotten the variety pack. If you see them grab them. Delicious!!!!! read more

Never been here but they sell at the Torrance Farmers Market! 8 years ago they attracted me with a taste of their world famous Italian Rum cake and I was hooked back then it was the owners. We go at least once a month except lately been traveling a-lot but whenever we have out of town guest we make sure to get them samples and end up walking away with at least 4-6 cakes of the different variations. We have even had them shipped to friends and family because they love them. Honestly the FM is a great place to get them from cause it's open air and the Cakes taste just better out in the fresh air! You will not be disappointed. read more

I have not actually been to their storefront, however I did have the opportunity to try their Bundt cake at our semi annual street fair in Carlsbad. It was the end of the fair, and most all of their Bundt cakes were packed up in clear totes. When we walked by, I commented to my daughter how good they all looked. My daughter got pretty excited and they were kind enough to help out with one last cinnamon sugar churro Bundt cake. It was just before dinner so we took it to go for after dinner. We actually warmed it up and it was amazing. I wish I had some ice cream to go with it! Only bummer is I guess we will have to wait another 6 months to try them again! Hopefully they will come back for the next fair. read more

I sent an email inquiring if they had a pineapple upside down cakes. Within the hour I got a phone call from Vanessa stating they do have something similar but it isn't a cake. It's more like a bunt cake. I was fine with that so I placed my order. I picked it up the next day. It looked delicious & tasted great! My mom was very satisfied with the cake! I'm glad I found them on Yelp. Things to know: they email/call back quick. They don't have a store front but do sell at the local Farmers market!

Came across them at the Huntington Beach artisan's fair on a Sunday afternoon. Luckily we did because we wanted to bring a special kind of dessert for a party the next day so when we tried their sample of rum cake, we were sold! They had a deal where if you bought either a large or medium cake, you get two small cakes for free. We got to try the others flavors such as carrot cake and churro. The favorite turned out to the be the churro cake since it was not that sweet. They truly are all very moist, dense, and homemade! If you ever come across them, make sure to stop by, try and buy! read more

We did the Italian butter rum cake. We did the larger size one for a bday party. I did not call it in as suggested. I picked it up at a farmers market. Cake sat on the counter for three days and was super fresh at time of serving. Taste is simple and sublimely authentic. Don't over expect some cake that will blow you away. Do expect a fresh and moist, appropriate, fresh, tasty cake that you can feel great about serving. Just a very high quality product made by a mom and pop shop. Churro Bundt cake great too. read more

I so happened to come across this yummy bakery while at the Buena Park Farmer's Market this past Saturday. I tried walking past all of those enticing bundt cakes but I couldn't do it lol. I decided to sample the Italian Butter Rum to see if I would like it and while I did love it I really had my eye on the Red Velvet Bundt. I already had some sweets at my hotel so I decided not to get both but I really should have lol. The Italian Rum was very moist and had a nice rum flavor but it wasn't overpowering like most rum cakes are and I loved the pecans on top as well. I really liked the Red Velvet, it looked like a real Red Velvet cake should because it wasn't super red with food coloring. It was extremely moist and the cream cheese frosting in the middle was very good (although I wish there was more frosting lol). I can definitely see that being my go to if I lived in the area. I love bundt cakes so these are perfect,the perfect size and the fact that they are very moist and taste fresh is a plus. They had quite a few different flavors and I can't wait to come back to try more and even take some back home with me. read more

The Italian rum cake is literally the most delicious cake i have ever had in my life!! It is amazingly moist,light , buttery and rich all at the same time! Im in love with these cake and im going to buy plenty more everytime i go here read more

Really enjoyed meeting Chris today at the Westwood farmer's market! He drew a lot of customers in with free samples of the rum cake, including me!! I was also intrigued by their "best cakes" sign and had to see for myself. The rum cake samples, even after being frozen and thawed and out at the farmers market for a couple hours, were delicious and extremely moist. I got four cakes: the rum, the very berry blast, the chocolate cappuccino, and the chocolate whiskey. Chris recommended freezing the cakes, especially the very berry, as they can last for a couple months and people have said they taste better after thawing. I couldn't wait and tried the chocolate whiskey while it was fresh. It was the perfect soft texture with cream in the middle. THESE CAKES ARE NOT DRY. The perfect little bite. The mini bundts are about the size of my palm, but they sell larger cakes as well. Going to save the others for later, but can't wait to try!! Chris even gave me one of the cakes for free after I bought 3 for $14. He gave me his card and said to contact them to reserve flavors ahead of time because they sell out fast. Super friendly and accommodating!! So glad I stopped by. Thanks Chris! read more

Oh.My.God!!!! These bundt cakes were soooooooooooooooooo gooooooooood! Guess who's buying more this Saturday....ME!!!! We had chocolate penutbutter which was delicious. I love chocolate but hate peanut butter and somehow their bundt now has be questioning my dislike for those two flavors mixed together because I loved it! We also had chocolate cherry which I didn't get to try because my sister gobbled it up along with rum cake. Rum was my favorite. Woah.... it was so moist and the crunch from the bits on top... perfect. The bunts were 3 for $11. That's a steal considering itching bunt cakes are pricey and nowhere near as good as these guys.
