I came across this page after searching for "heathy cakes" on Yelp, and noticed the beautiful cakes along with great ratings. After seeing the beautiful photos and awesome reviews, I knew I had to make a call. It was two days before my niece's first birthday and I thought I would call to inquire. Immediately, I spoke w Arlena (who was extremely friendly even though it sounded like she had a lot going on!) She had a busy schedule and was still able to accommodate me despite the late notice. She even gave me an earlier time after switching her schedule around. It was recommended to bring a cooler for the cake, which I did because it was a long drive for us. My niece was able to enjoy her birthday with this perfect cake. You taste the natural sweetness (but no sugar crash) from the fruits, dates, and other ingredients of the cake. The nutty crust was to die for! It was such a nice surprise and the parents were so happy to have my niece eat a healthy cake :) read more

Vegan desserts are my thing because I don't like over sweet desserts (raw or not). These desserts here are just the perfect in sweetness. They are also organic, gluten free, soy free, vegan, no processed sugar, and decadent. It is located in an industrial complex so don't expect that the store front is like a regular bakery. This is the place where the Chef produces awesome delicious raw chocolates Mothers Markets sells. However, the cakes are available in store only. I recommend bringing a small cooler when you purchase items, especially, during the hot summer. Or if you cannot wait you can eat them in the car before leaving premise. Ha ha I will be back!!!! read more

Arlena was so easy to work with and accommodated our pick up date despite a busy schedule. Happy that there is a bakery that offers unique vegan desserts. Reasonably priced for what you get and the flavors are incredible! read more

Disclaimer that I don't really have any dietary restrictions...but I'm all about trying new kinds of foods, especially when it comes to desserts. I've been meaning to try Raw Baby for a while, so I figured it'd be worth it to splurge on a nice, classy cake for my birthday. I had heard such great things about raw desserts and was really excited to try!! When I contacted Arlena, she was so accommodating, sweet and made the ordering process really seamless. It's pretty easy to place an order through her website. My family likes fruitier cakes, but I love cheesecake, so I figured the Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake would be a happy medium. Arlena actually hand-delivered the cake to me since I live close (much appreciated), and she even included a cute Happy Birthday topper! Since she doesn't use refined sugar, she can't write anything on the cake, but it was so beautifully topped with berries. It honestly looked stunning, and although the six-inch cake may seem small, that thing is definitely dense! And it's also not pricey at all if you consider all the organic goodness that goes inside it. I was blown away by the taste and texture of the cake! It was so creamy and delectable but not sickeningly sweet. I was also just so impressed with the cheesecake-like flavor. My dad, who has a sweet tooth like me and eats a dessert every night, really liked it as well. It's a great time to be supporting small businesses, and Raw Baby is one that I cannot recommend enough. Having a Covid birthday sucked, but Arlena made it really special, and I'll definitely be ordering from her again for my family's next celebration! Really looking forward to trying all the other goodies she offers :') read more

The baker, Arlene, specializes in making (per her website) "Raw, Plant-Based, Organic, Gluten Free, Soy Free, Refined Sugar-Free" treats. The Strawberry Shortcake was divine. It was light and sweet but not too sweet. It was refreshingly cool and smooth with the bottom, nutty layer offering a hearty crunch in contrast to the silky top. I wish I could try all the flavors of Raw Baby cake!! It's definitely not cheap... but it's a nice splurge for a special occasion. read more

Oh. My. Lord. I highly recommend you check out Raw Baby and try their delicious treats. My fiancé and I split the mini Peanut Butter Chocolate cake last night, he does not follow a raw vegan diet like I do, and he loved it! ⁣There is so much flavor, it tastes so fresh, I literally couldn't stop myself from eating it even after I started feeling full lol. ⁣ Their customer service is spectacular! I got to meet the owner/chef and she is a gem Please go and support this small, local business and get your self some goodies! Cakes comes in different sizes and lots of different flavors!! Already thinking about which flavor I should try next! Thank you so much Chef Arlena⁣ Also check out their ig @rawbabydesserts they post all of their goods on there!!! read more

This place is cute! So when I arrived to the location I was confused because it brought me to a place called "Gisselles"..... come to find out that they are initially the same.....just an FYI! I really liked the man that helped me.... He was super friendly and knowledgeable about what was raw vegan vs just vegan. The only thing I don't like is how it's a little on the pricer end, but it is definitely worth it since they use healthier ingredients. The raw caramel cups and the vegan raw chocolate cookie were my favorites. I got the macaroons which were good, just not my cup of Tea. I can't wait to come back and try their other delicious options! read more

Wow, I tried Raw Baby's hazelnut caramel chocolates, cookies and "Nut"ella Cake and fell in love. I have a sweet tooth, but am also quite health-conscious and have a fascination with raw vegan desserts. There truly is beauty in consuming desserts that are made with whole foods with high nutrition rather than ones with refined and processed ingredients. I feel very satisfied after having a piece of chocolate and a slice of the cake. My parents (in their mid-60's) also enjoyed the desserts. They are so delicious, creamy, satisfying, and sweet (but not the icky kind of sweet). There's also a bit of a crunch thanks to the nutty base, so you have 2+ textures to enjoy. I don't feel any sugar hangover like I do at times with other decadent desserts. Also, we had some of the oatmeal raisin and chocolate chip oatmeal cookies and they were delicious. The perfect balance of chewiness, sweetness, and a hint of salt. Definitely recommend that the next time you have an event to celebrate, that you give Raw Baby a try- especially if you have people that are health nuts. :) Of course, because this is the kind of dessert that takes a lot of prep and time (compared to the traditional flour-based cakes), place an order in advance! read more

Ok where do you start when a raw - vegan dessert shop opens in your town. Well you start by running as fast as you can to check it out. These desserts are amazing. The quality of ingredients is reflected in the price, but Extremely worth it! I purchased the tiramisu, raspberry almond ups, and peanut butter cups. These were so delicious as satisfying. I shared a peanut butter up with my sweets hating brother and he loved it, mainly because it didn't taste fake like corn syrup or other garbage ingredients this was all real food, maple syrup sweetened and not processed. The cacao and coffee in the tiramisu honestly have me a little buzzed off of approx 1/4 of the slice. So be warned and share with friends they will thank you. Grand opening is October 8th but don't wait go check them out Now! read more

The owner has such great customer services skills. Online it said that all the cakes were sold out but I decided to just give her a call. Turns out she was available and would be able to fill my order in 2 days. I was so glad that she could deliver as well. I wanted to surprise my friend on her birthday. Unfortunately she is not doing personal sizes any more because of covid. 6" cakes are the smallest that she is making right now. She did say that her cakes keep very well in the freezer if you are not able to finish! read more

If you're going to become a Vegan, this is the perfect introduction to Vegan life. I can't believe these desserts are always vegan, dairy free, gluten free, soy free and always organic. I was introduced through one of my associates and I am a believer. I ordered the strawberry banana cheesecake and lemon blueberry cheesecake for my Vegan friends and they were amazed that they were gluten free, as well. Enjoying a healthy lifestyle requires a disciplined diet and these desserts are part of my discipline. I definitely recommend Raw Baby!!! read more

I can't say enough. Arlena is absolutely amazing. Her desserts are absolutely amazing. I really don't know which one is more amazing. I ordered a 6" Raw Berry Bliss for my birthday and I was honestly sad when it was gone. My kids DEVOURED it. We all did. Arlena also hooked it up with some raspberry chocolates, that, little did she or I know, would wind up being my actual birthday cake. That day, I wound up in the hospital with my youngest for 16 hours... and all I had to eat was those delicious raspberry chocolates that Arlena had given me! Those raspberry chocolates got me through that day, no doubt about it. It was like a little mini celebration that served as a prequel to the next day that involved the most delicious dessert I have ever tasted in my entire life. Arlena, please do not make me fat. If I start coming in too much, just level with me, okay? I love you. Please thank you. read more

Beautiful and awesome tasting "cakes." I tried 2 flavors. The "Nut" Tella was amazing!! 5/5. I highly recommend it. It reminds me of a delicious moose marries fudge situation. Ate the personal in two days. Blueberry cheesecake- it was ok. 3/5. Not my favorite. But still good. Enjoyed the "crust" on it a lot. More of a coconut flavor in this one. I love coconut. But overall wasn't for me even though it is a best seller. I am determined to try each one on the menu to help me get thru this quarantine/pandemic situation so stay tuned. Good customer service, very attentive owner. read more

I had the pleasure of ordering 2 of the 4" mini cakes for me and my bday twins bdays yesterday. Arlena was great with communication, and accommodated a home delivery due to a last minute change she had to tend to. Beautiful cakes- blueberry lemon cheesecake and peanut butter cup cake, equally delicious! Unique flavors and ingredients, no fake sugary processed flavors. I will definitely be ordering again so i can try more of her natural, beautiful, yummy items!!! read more

I received this very flavorful dark chocolate ganache cake from Raw Baby and it was simply incredible.

Both of them were so amazing and DELICIOUS! I asked for the strawberry shortcake to be decorated and it was beautifully done! I wish I had a photo of the tiramisu cake but it was so good that it was gone. Compliments to Arlena who was very nice and responsive! Will be coming back to order more! (: read more

Shout out to Arlena at Raw Baby Bakery for coming through with this raw/vegan gold carrot cake during this time of covid. Needed a birthday cake for my vegan bff and stumbled upon this gem. Arlena was very personable and always made sure to ask you how you're doing before talking business. She finds out things you like or may like and suggests them. I had filled out a form for the carrot cake and add-on cookies before knowing the price and cookie options. She makes sure your questions are answered and assures you that if pricing doesn't fit your budget it's okay not to get those extras. Although the price of the cake was not what I was expecting I was sold by her personality and enthusiasm for her yummy goodies. Now for the baked goods review: Gold carrot cake: the presentation 100! It is moist, the flavor is rich which I like! Best served cold. My bff couldn't believe it was RAW! Amazing. Cookies: she says her best sellers are the oatmeal walnut raisin and the oatmeal chocolate chip. She did not disappoint. They were both delicious and I think I can even taste every ingredient in these cookies! All vegan and tasted delightful. Really recommend the oatmeal walnut raisin of the two though. Lastly, her packaging is 100. Overall super impressed by everything. Great job, Arlena and thank you for being an essential! read more

I got the lemon blueberry cheese cake and the nutella cake. This in not good "for vegan sweets". This is incredible for any sweets. Hands down one of the best cheesecakes I've had all year. My Girlfriend came eat gluten or dairy, I know the struggle of trying to make vegan food that tastes genuinely good. Raw Baby nailed it! Highlight of my weekend. Thank you. I spoke to the owner, she is very passionate about her confections and keeping it vegan. I look forward to trying more from her. I live in AZ and now whenever I am out here I'm getting something from raw baby! Isn't that close to a definition of Michelin Star? Well if I could give you six stars I would! PS I was going to post a picture but..... I ate it all before I thought about it. read more

I reached out to Arlena to order the Raw Baby Carrot Cake for my dad's birthday. Since it was just a small gathering, I didn't want anything too big. Arlena had great communication and excellent customer service. As far as the cake goes, it exceeded our expectations!! My parents don't usually eat raw/vegan foods. My dad was the first to finish his slice, and said because it's so healthy, it would be ok to eat more : ) Thank you Arlena for making our birthday celebration extra special ! read more

Raw Baby - Carrot Cake (6-8 ppl). Very yummy, would recommend! - Vegan Near Me - Laguna Hills, California

I had a great experience shopping here yesterday: Made a last minute request for a mini cheesecake and they agreed to customize the order for me so I can pick up in just a few hours. When I come to pick up my cake, they give me a box of chocolates they made to try. I've had both the cake and the chocolate and they are delicious. Very nutty and I don't have the overwhelmed feeling after having those (compared to dairy desserts with lots of refined sugar). It feels very light and I can taste all the ingredients. A really unique experience and definitely worth trying. Downside is it's a bit more expensive than the normal(dairy) desserts. But I guess it's not fair to compare since they are different products in the end. They make these by hand and really care about making healthy and high-quality desserts. read more

I got a bit turned around driving here, no fault of the business, but entered the parking lot at 3 on the nose. No problem though, the hours on yelp show open till 5. Unfortunately, this is not true. The business at this address is named Giselles Vegan and Gluten Free Bakery and is open till 3pm on Saturdays. I yelped Giselles and found the location stating such. Not sure if the Raw business is now just taking orders, but yelp needs to be updated. The stars are only due to the misinformation, not the product itself. read more

I found Raw Baby chocolates at Mother's Market and fell in love. After a little research, I discovered their kitchen was just across the road from my work and they made other clean desserts. We decided to order the raw carrot cake for Thanksgiving. First, the cake was absolutely beautiful! I got most of my family interested in trying it and everyone that did loved it! My cousin even wanted to order one for her mom when she is in town again. I'm hoping to try the cheesecake and tarts soon as well. I was just at Vibe Organic Kitchen in Newport this afternoon and saw Raw Baby chocolates on the shelf. Hoping to keep seeing them grow! read more

I was in the area yesterday and wanted to stop by to check this place out since I was just diagnosed with a few autoimmune disorders and food allergies. Loved that they are wheat/gluten free and dairy free. Little did I know, for this place you'll need to order ahead of time and it's mainly wholesale now. However, the owner was so friendly and accommodating! I did get a slice of tiramisu, carrot cake and peanut butter chocolates. Everything was a delightful burst of flavors in my mouth. Especially when most vegan desserts I had recently were bland. I liked the chocolates best. The only thing is that the slices were very petite (very small) for the pricing. My husband had a piece of my carrot cake and he didn't like it; I did though. Texture was different and not like the "cake" that you expect- more grainy. Overall, great find. read more
