    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!!

    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!

    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.

    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

    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

    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!

    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!

    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!

    Had my gender reveal cupcakes here and it was amazing! Red velvet cupcakes the graham cracker bottom, it was still moist a few days later. Will definitely order form them again.

    Mimi W.

    Amazing cupcakes for my bridal shower! I gave them a vision and they crushed it! The cupcakes were soooo good! The process how to order them and pick them up was seamless. Highly recommended!! :)

They sell by 75 cents each which is good. Parking a little tight but if you go on weekday it's not too bad. The lady who greeted me wasn't too friendly she literally started me down and looked like she just wanted to rush me out. Also guys they take cash only but if card use they charge $1 fee. So she took my order and went next door to charge my card but I didn't know next door was a coffee place guess they link together. 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. Language wasn't an issue here but to stare at customer like that I'm not coming back there ever again. Even though the cream puffs were so good very soft and not too sweet. I always go by first experience and impression. I will be looking forward other bakery's in Garden Grove.
