    I spoke with Larry about doing a gender reveal cake. He had some great ideas, and was extremely flexible as well! I am gluten free so I couldn't eat it, however the icing was amazing! My husband and all of my guest raved about how good the cake was, and how dense and moist! Thank you Larry for helping with our special day!

    our wedding dessert table

    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!

    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!!

    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.

Super exceeded my expectations way to go excellent service and product my next event for sure..... Highly recommend this company.

    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
    Ari T.

    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

    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!

    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!

    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!

I messaged Patricia right before a last minute birthday I was throwing for my daughter and boy oh boy did she come through. There was no picture I could send her that could explain the Squishy AND Love Shack Fancy theme she wanted.

Patricia is an artist and she makes the process enjoyable too. My daughter was ecstatic and loved everything about the cake.

Everyone at the party loved the cake so much from the details on the outside to the flavors inside. She put graduation caps on top of the cakes, decorations to match the degree, and colors to match the college. She had options for people who liked sweet and then not so sweet. The whipped cream is the less sweet option she offered us compared to the buttercream. She makes everything homemade, including the buttercream and whipped cream. Pickup was a breeze as well, she offered multiple time slots for my family to pick it up. Overall, my experience with Sweet Oven Bliss was truly amazing. The owner made all the difference. Her communication was so quick and she was a really nice person. Thank you so much.

However, we were really disappointed in how they handled our order. We placed our order a couple of weeks ago and received our confirmation about a week later that they were ready to be picked up. However, the email only indicated that they were ready to be picked up anytime Mon-Sun at their popup location. When we arrived, the told us that they had taken back our order because it had been over 5 days and no one had picked them up yet. Then they told us they would try and see if they could recreate our order. TBH, that is the absolute most ridiculous way to do business. No where on their site did it say it had to be picked up within a certain timeframe, AND no where on their confirmation pick up email did it say it had to be picked up by a certain timeframe either. On top of that, they said that we should have called them. Um no, it's your small business, you have left over orders that need to be picked up, then you need to reach out to the customers and let them know they only have so many more days to pick them up before they are forfeited. That's how all small business, food-related or not, handle thing, especially when there are timeframe constraints. To be clear, the time constraint was not an issue IF they had even expressed there is one, but they never did. Please clean up on your business practices, it's very important to communicate with your customer base.
