    OMG Best Bundt Cakes on the block ! Chris's sold me with just a sample and the presentation was amazing it is a family business and they ship locally please come to support this amazing family business and let's make it flourish ! Get the sampler box you will not regret it please come

    BabyCakes Sampler Box with 2 Cinnamon Churro, 2 Chocolate, 1 Italian Rum Butter, 1 Lemon Citrus, 1 Red Velvet, & 1 Unicornfetti!

    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!

    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.

    Mini bundt cake pricing as of 2/12/24 - 3 for $14, 4 for $17, 6 for $25.

    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.

    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.

    Very tasty! I purchase the sampler packs to give out for work and everyone loves them. I also can't help but get a few for myself. The churro and butter rum flavors are my personal favorites. The owners are also super nice and friendly so I would highly recommend trying this place out.

    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!

    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!

    This bakery makes such delicious Bundt cakes. They have friendly customer service and the cakes are very moist and soft. Very flavorful as well!

    Are u allowed to refrigerate the cakes? I want to store some cakes I bought for Valentine's Day, but I was told if I store the cakes I should put them in the freezer? I just want to confirm that I can leave them out in room temp and not the fridge.

    I think you'll be fine leaving them out at room temp :)

    How can I find which farmers market you'll be at next!? Is there no way to follow where you'll be?!

    Hi, I believe they have a list of farmers markets posted on their website. I hope this helps.

    Hi. Do,you have a shop or only at farmers markets?

    Speaking to the owner, it looks like for now they only appear at farmers markets!

    First time here, and I'm already a fan! There was already a line when got there (on a weekday), but…read morethat's to be expected. Thankfully, the line moved pretty quickly, although the bakery itself is small and can feel a bit tight inside. I got a small assortment of pastries, including the Japanini and some of their popular items: the Salt & Butter Roll, Curry Pan, and Kobo Kuma. Everything was warm, fresh, and delicious. I honestly wish I had gotten more. My kids enjoyed everything too. The only item that was a bit disappointing was the Sea Salt Taro Latte. It was a little too milky and sweet for my taste. I'm already looking forward to coming back to try more items from their delicious menu!

It is a little spicier than expected. I also want to try the regular Curry Pan - Oyaki Pork Shumai 4/5 - good and tastes like shumai but not a standout for me to get again - Fish Filet Panini 5/5 - surprisingly SO GOOD! The employee recommended it and I was hesitant but it ended up being one of my favorites. Kinda like the McDonalds fish filet sandwich with the tartar sauce but obviously better - Japanini 4/5 - solid, nice basil pesto tomato combo but not a standout for me to get again - Banana Matcha latte 4/5 - solid but personally prefer the one at Kei cafe more TLDR: favorites are Everything Salt & Butter Roll, Spicy Curry Pan, and Fish Filet Panini

For this first trip, I found myself enchanted by the more traditional Korean pastries - the sweet potato creamy red bean bun, the curry croquette, the salt breads and rice crackers (one of their most popular items they said.) Most everything costs between $3-5. What a steal! I ordered their new item -- a banana latte made with their own banana syrup and cold foam to go with a double shot of espresso. It was tasty though seeing the old timers with their hot brewed coffees and bean buns made me wish I'd gotten something hot too. All in all, I had a great time at Cafe Bleu and can't wait to come back and try some new things. There are lots of tables and plenty of room to meet up with friends or work or do your homework.

One thing to note for anyone with nut allergies: although the ingredient label only listed almonds, there seemed to be other nuts present as we experienced an allergic reaction despite not being allergic to almonds.

I had never tried Botox before in my life, but I decided to get it for the first time yesterday as well. I don't think the results have shown yet, so I'm planning to post a review once they do. Since we were already in Orange County, we stopped by a bakery at the Source Mall. I bought several pastries there. The fresh cream bread was very delicious. I didn't try the custard cream bread because my younger brothers ate it, so I can't really comment on the taste. I also haven't tried the pecan pie yet. Lately, Dubai chocolate cookies have been extremely popular and trendy, so I asked whether this bakery had them. They said yes, so I bought one for $6.75. However, when I tried it this morning, it was absolutely not a Dubai chocolate cookie. It was basically just a chocolate pie. There was no pistachio flavor at all, and no pistachios inside--just a very ordinary chocolate pie. That part was extremely disappointing. Also, yesterday I asked the bakery if they could provide paper plates so we could cut and share the pastries, but she said they didn't have any.
