I had the absolute pleasure of working with Carol and Christian at Krumb Cakes to create a custom cake for my spouse's 70th birthday celebration--and it exceeded every expectation. My spouse is an avid pianist, so we wanted something truly meaningful. What they delivered was nothing short of extraordinary: a stunning cake modeled after a Steinway piano, complete with intricate details from the keys to the harp to the Steinway label. It was not just a cake--it was a work of art and a perfect tribute to his passion. Beyond the visual impact, the cake itself was delicious. It served 50 guests beautifully, and everyone who saw and tasted it was genuinely in awe. People couldn't stop talking about both the craftsmanship and the flavor. Carol and Christian were also incredibly professional throughout. Krumb Cakes delivered the cake to Il Davide in San Rafael with great care and precision, ensuring everything arrived in perfect condition. I was over the moon with the entire experience--from concept to execution. If you're looking for something truly special, Krumb Cakes delivers on every level. I'll absolutely be sending referrals their way! read more

Thank you Christian, Krumbs Cakes made the most stunning Cinderella castle cake for our 6-year-old daughter Anastasia's birthday. The intricate towers, delicate sugar flowers, little carriage, and princess details were pure fairytale magic! Inside, the marzipan princess cake filling was delicious the whole cake was moist, flavorful, and perfectly sweet. Anastasia was over the moon and kept saying it was the most beautiful cake ever! Anastasia said it was perfect every detail was impeccable. Thank you, Krumbs Cakes, for making her day so special. Highly recommend! read more

I have NO idea why this place has such good ratings. We were beyond disappointed with the cake we got. We had high hopes and unfortunately they were not met. We did the cake tasting which tasted great!! We were excited and fell in love with the Princess cake flavor. It wasn't too sweet and had a jam that was slightly tart and just made the cake so good. We discussed the design I wanted. I showed him multiple pictures of design and multiple pictures of the color I wanted. He asked for a color swatch and i got him one. I also got a cake topper which I was happy with. We opted for the Strawberry Champagne, princess, and chocolate kahlua flavors Then it all went downhill. The communication was TERRIBLE! I was getting so frustrated but we still remembered how good the cake tasted so we pushed forward and gave him the benefit of the doubt. I dropped off my cake topper in the store mailbox because he was not available for me to drop it off otherwise. He told me he would tell me once he received it and days went by and I emailed him everyday asking if he could just confirmed he got the cake topper and finally after 5-6 days he responded. Come the wedding day when i saw the cake i almost cried. It was so sloppy, the edges and paint looked like a child made it. I told myself it was okay, at least it would taste good. Tell me why they had the Chocolate flavor, the strawberry flavor and a vanilla flavor!? We didn't even order Vanilla!! Not only that- it was way too sweet! The ONE thing i did not want. The WORST part was I had wanted dusty blue, the cake was a turquoise blue and he used SO much food coloring everyone's mouths turned blue! I was horrified. Not only did the cake look like it was made by a kid, all the guests look like they were at a kids birthday party. We had our wedding at the Palace hotel- this wasn't supposed to be an informal wedding, and I had all my guests leave with blue mouths. I was embarrassed and the cake didn't even taste good or was the flavor we wanted. All around terrible! read more

Christian made us a wonderful cake for our wedding in Napa, CA. From the start, he was very responsive to our inquiries and transparent about pricing. During our tasting, he gave us a nice sampling of eight different flavors, all of which were delicious. We ended up going with a three-tier, white-and-gold cake, with the top tier being "Very Berry" (Chocolate Cake with Raspberry and Blackberry Mousse Filling), the middle tier being "Princess" (Vanilla Cake with Lingonberry Jam and Bavarian Cream Filling), and the bottom tier being a fake tier for design. We sent some Pinterest/Instagram photos to Christian for stylistic inspiration. We also coordinated with our decorator to get some matching flowers for the cake, and we ordered a custom cake topper. We could not have been more pleased with the end result. Christian's team delivered the cake on the day of our wedding to our venue in Napa, CA. The cake was delivered on time, looked beautiful, and tasted fantastic. On a wedding weekend with lots of great food, Christian's cake was just as memorable for those that had a piece (or two). Simply put, if you are planning a wedding or another big event in Marin or Napa and want a high-quality, reasonably priced cake, then you should strongly consider Krumbs Cakes in San Rafael. We plan to go here to get cakes for other special events as well, such as birthdays, anniversaries, etc. read more

My sister-in-law visiting from LA for her sister/my fiance's birthday ordered a cake from Krumbs. They accomodated that request and really went above and beyond. The cake was HUGE, it was delicious, it was very appealing to the eye. They mentioned how to best store the cake for maximum freshness and taste as well. They really took care of us and my fiance's birthday, so they will definitely get us coming back! read more

OBSESSED! Christian was a savior. I had engaged with another baker for our wedding cake but after picking up frozen cake samples felt defeated and discouraged that all wedding cakes were gross. NOT Christian and his Krumbs cake. We arrived for our tasting to the friendliest of staff and the most delicious freshly baked cake samples. I think we tried at least 10 different types of cakes and filling and every single one made my mouth water. Picking a flavor was so hard but we landed on the princess cake and pink champagne cake. My last ask for my cake was that it be a replica of my 84 year old grandparents cake. They're such a huge part of my life and their 64 year marriage is one I hope to have. Most bakers I talked to wouldn't commit to making the cake but Christian was excited for the challenge. Fast forward to wedding day our cake was displayed in the middle of our dinner reception and was a crowd favorite. My grandparents got emotional when they saw it which made it all that more special. I can't thank Christian enough for the not only delicious but beautiful cake. He had a customer for life in us and I will tell anyone who will listen to hire him for all the things! Thank you thank you thank you! read more

Once again, Christian has knocked it out of the park. I think this is the 5th or 6th cake we've gotten from Krumbs. This time, he did a custom cake for my mom's birthday, complete with her dogs on it! She was so thrilled, as were all the guests, because the cake tasted amazing! It had macarons on top that were delicious and the inside cake was light and fluffy with fresh strawberry whipped frosting in between the layers. Soooo yummy! The way Christian is able to take an idea and turn it into baked art is amazing. For this cake, we (my brother and I) basically gave him very odd information - I wanted it to be a girly cake with lot of pink and flowers, and my brother wanted to incorporate all the dogs and make those the focus. The pictures don't even do this cake justice for how Christian merged our ideas and made the perfect cake to keep both of us happy. Honestly, amazing. I'll never get cakes from anywhere but here, and you shouldn't either! read more

I had six tastings while planning my wedding, and this was by far the best! Every flavor was fresh, balanced, and clearly made from scratch. It's obvious these are European-style cakes--not overly sweet like typical American ones. Christian even made a special vegan tasting for my fiancé, which meant so much to us. We ended up buying two cakes for the wedding! Incredible service and unforgettable cake. Highly recommend! read more

We're from San Francisco and were getting married in the city, but decided to venture across the bridge after striking out on other vendors due to price, size limitations (270+ people), or general availability. We feel so lucky that we came across Krumbs based on the A+ experience, from tasting to delivery. One thing we truly hoped for was a true cake-tasting experience. In the post-COVID landscape, everything is "come buy cupcakes and let us know what you think." We went out to Krumbs and were so excited to be able to sit down and be treated to all of their cake, mousse, and frosting flavors, and even though we had only inquired about one flavor, we left with two. They were also super-flexible when it came to design and weighed in with their own opinions after learning about the wedding vibe, cake topper, etc. Their pricing was affordable but the experience felt premium in every way, from the tasting to delivery and putting the finishing touches at the venue. We were able to hand them off to our venue coordinator and they managed everything from there. We also had them do our sheet cake for the rest of the guests so everyone could have the same experience. We like them so much we went back to buy a birthday cake for my mother-in-law a few weeks later. SF is great but I feel like we found a gem in Krumb's and would recommend them to anyone. read more

We ordered a custom cake for our son's 8th b day. Everyone at the party was impressed with it and cake tastes amazing. Definitely the highlight of the party, every kid was wowed. Definitely order your cake from Krumbs for your special occasion. I communicated via email with our request along with couple pictures of the design we found online, they responded fairly quickly and told us they can definitely do it and send over the estimate and link to pay. On the day of the event there was a hiccup with delivery but was quickly corrected and cake arrived within the time frame. Overall another great experience with them. read more

We had Krumbs for our wedding cake vendor and it was amazing! The testing went so well I ended up choosing 3 different types of cake/fillings. We got married in 2019 and people still ask about our cake. We had some left over and our family's were showing up to our house to see if we had any more haha. One tier was chocolate with peanut butter, one was lemon cream with vanilla and one was vanilla cake with prickly pear cream. read more

Surprisingly, it is hard to be a vegan in Marin. So, it was shocking to find a cake maker who was not only comfortable making a vegan cake, but provided a variety of flavors to choose from. The end result was not only beautiful, but also very delicious. No one would have thought the cake was vegan. It was soooo good! read more

Christian made our wedding cake exactly how we wanted. He was willing to make a 3 tier cake with two bottom tiers made from styrofoam. We both aren't huge cake fans, so we bought a different dessert option for our wedding guests. My parents are traditional, so they really wanted us to have a cake to cut into for a photo. Christian's willingness to provide styrofoam tiers allowed us to give my parents what they wanted, an elegant/extravagant cake to cut into for the photo, as well as save us money (only cost us $166)! We ordered a vanilla cake with Meyer lemon cream filling as well as a gluten and dairy-free cupcake with dairy free lemon frosting (for the gluten-free, dairy-free bride). We ordered a laser-cut cake topper from Etsy and got cake flowers from our florist. Krumbs cake delivered it to the venue before the reception began and placed everything on the cake. We loved how the cake turned out! read more

Every time I go to them I give them crazy cakes to make. They do not disappoint and come thru every time. My latest request was for a cake that mimic an Albino Abalone. Your expression is photographically superb. You know what else was superb....the cake. Yes, it looked like an Abalone, even had the mother of pearl iridescence that is seen on the underside of a real Abalone. It was ALL edible. The cake, chocolate cake with Bavarian cream. Covered in white chocolate so that the shell and cake would not damage each other. The taste....perfection. This should be your first and only choice for custom cakes. Again..SUPERB!!!! Enjoy. read more

Christian was amazing from beginning to end! I would highly recommend his bakery if you are looking for someone you can trust to do any cakes but especially your wedding cake. He was so personable when we went in for our tasting and only continued to exude his professionalism. You could tell he cared about his brides too. I changed my cake design in the middle of planning and he was so great about it. I seriously was in aw when I walked in and saw our cake on wedding day. Thank you so much for giving us our dream cake. It could not have been more perfect or taste any better!! read more

Christian does it again!!... We've been ordering cakes from Christian since our wedding cake in 2012!! We love his cakes' fluffy and moist consitency and the delicious fillings that you can taste were made from scratch with fresh ingredients. Our favorite flavors are chocolate cake with very berry filling, and coconut cake with passion fruit filling, however the Kahlua filling and champagne cake are pretty darn good too. We've ordered Krumbs cakes for all our major celebrations: wedding, baby showers, anniversaries, baptisms, birthdays, graduations, etc. We just can't get enough of Krumbs Cakes and Christian's super friendly and approachable customer service!! read more

Super disappointing and I hate to even leave this review, but I've tried to contact Krumbs several times and haven't received a call or email back. I ordered a cake for a birthday party last weekend, and while Krumbs was able to accommodate my short notice, the cake I received was -- there's no other way to put it -- horribly, horribly ugly. I had provided explicit guidance and even did a little mock-up of what I was looking for, but what I received looked NOTHING like what we agreed upon. I was looking for a simple white cake with a bit of tie-dye worked into the top -- something ethereal and gentle. What I received was a white cake that looked like it had fondant spider webs on it. For almost $300, I didn't expect my guests to wonder if the cake was an inside joke. I was asked that several times -- it was THAT ugly. I truly hope that the business owners will remedy this situation. I've called and emailed and it's been over a week with no response. read more

I should have submitted this review a long time ago but life really has been busy. My now husband and myself had to quickly find a bakery for our wedding. We both are experienced at making wedding cakes but did not want to do our own. Christian was very accommodating with our quick ordering and not much thought into our cake. The cake was beautiful and flawless! It tasted amazing (this comes from a person who doesn't often eat cake but I bake so much) and everyone loved it. Thank you so much. Sorry for the late review read more

The crew at Krumb Cakes came through for us in such a short time frame, as we planned our elopement in less than a month! All I had to do was show them some ideas I memorialized from Pinterest of what we envisioned our wedding cake to look like, drop off some silk flowers I had left over from my bouquet (which I made myself) along with our custom cake stand and said "Have at it!" Krumb Cakes exceeded our expectations.. from the taste of our gluten-free carrot cake which was down right delicious, to the cake's aesthetics -- just simply beautiful! Also, communication was always responsive on their end in answering our questions and even with updates regarding the logistics with the cake delivery to the restaurant. Again, above and beyond! If you want a delicious, beautiful wedding cake, gluten-free or not, Krumbs Cakes is the way to go! You won't be disappointed :-) Thanks again, Cristian and staff! We truly appreciate you! read more

Ordered cupcakes from Krumb's. I had a short window of time during my lunch break to pick them up, so I made sure my order was ready for pick up before arriving. When I arrived, the order was not ready and they had no idea I had submitted my order (DoorDash). After receiving, the cupcakes were not what I expected. Tasted like store bought cupcakes and the taste didn't reflect the price paid. We tried one of each flavor and the rest went into the trash. That's how bad they tasted. Won't be visiting again read more

I want to thank Christian and his team for being so communicative during our entire wedding. We worked with them through our venue coordinators at Wedgewood Stonetree. We came in to meet them for cake tasting back in February and I had described a poorly formed vision of what we wanted to match with our wedding theme. After the appointment, we had changed our mind and redesigned the entire look of the cake. It was all done with emails and photos and when we finally saw it on our wedding day in June, it was absolutely beautiful. Their flavors are amazing and it was difficult to choose which one we wanted. I was in between their strawberry cream, their lemon cream, and espresso cream. We ended up with a vanilla cake with lemon cream for our spring wedding. It was delicious and our guests kept telling me after the wedding how delicious it was. I definitely recommend them for your cake needs. read more

Based on the reviews I thought for sure I had found my go to place for custom cakes :( This cake was not what I was expecting at all. The mess ups aesthetically were one thing, but the taste was bad.
