Fantastic place, I always order a custom chocolate cake with raspberries on top. The people recognize me and the cake had never failed me and I keep getting invited to their place every Thanksgiving.

I've been meaning to write this review for years now!I called them 5 years ago when I was putting together a surprise wedding for my husband. We lived in the Philadelphia area at the time. They were very understanding of my unique situation. When my mom and I ended up being in Las Vegas for a few days we decided to make the drive out to Dana Point in a day to scout everything out. I scheduled a cake tasting for around 5:30pm, but as neither of us were used to CA traffic we ended up being quite a bit late. They were SUPER accommodating and not only happily took us late, but did not rush us out, and even waited while we selected cupcakes (and even found a blank box to pack it in so that my future husband wouldn't see that I had been in CA lol!). The tasting was incredible, the cupcakes are amazing, and they still stand as having one of my favorite chocolate mousse from anywhere.They were perfect the day of my wedding, helping my cake get to the right people and destination. Sadly, my anxiety was awful the day of the wedding and I was unable to enjoy my cake, though my guests and husband said that it was the best wedding cake they had EVER had.Their anniversary cake though made it even better! Rather than take the top tier, freeze it, and then eat frostbite flavorless cake the next year they offer you a mini anniversary cake for two to collect at your one year anniversary. Given that we didn't live in CA they assured me that whenever we returned they would be happy to make us our anniversary cake. Two years later we made our way back to Dana Point and I called ahead to see if they could make us our cake. As soon as I told them that they had made my surprise wedding cake they knew EXACTLY who we were and they happily made our anniversary cake.... Free of charge as they honored my wedding from 2 years earlier. When we arrived they set us up with plates and utensils and a nice table out on their patio. It was every bit as wonderful as I could have imagined. Oh, and they say it's a cake for 2, but it could have easily fed 4-6, we ended up only eating half (and being stuffed) while we were there lol. This was 3 years ago.We now live in CA and I CAN NOT WAIT to visit them every year for my anniversary and order a cake from them! More...

The best gluten free cake! Prompt, easy to work with & delicious cake. They were able to make a beautiful design and we could not be happier! This isn't the first time we've hired them and won't be the last. Colleen is the best to work with!! More...

I cannot say enough great things about it's all about the cake. My husband and I have VERY different tastes in sweets and they were so accommodating with different flavors in each tier. Everything was DELICIOUS. we did a smaller cake with a dessert bar and everyone loved everything. From the tasting to the delivery it was seamless. I even added a birthday cake for my niece since my wedding fell on her birthday weekend. Not only did it taste amazing but it was beautiful. More...

The cake tasting was amazing. It really let us try all sorts of combinations and create flavor combos that will really reflect the bride and groom.

It's All About The Cake did an amazing job on our wedding cake, we knew immediately from our cake tasting that it was the perfect flavor for everyone (vanilla buttercream cake with raspberry and chocolate filling - AMAZING). On our wedding day we were so grateful to have a delicious dessert to share with our family and friends. Will definitely be ordering future event desserts, birthday cakes, etc. from It's All About The Cake! More...

Fabulous cakes, beautiful in fact. Our associate was so helpful and helped us figure what cake would be best. Believe it or not they weren't as expensive as I thought it would be.

Found this place by accident, but I'm happy I did. I had a country omelette and it was very good. But what stop out for me was the service. Everyone was very friendly and pleasant. Serena was our server and was great. More...

This little bake shop was perfect for our wedding. We had a great tasting with dozens of flavor options that were all delicious. We chose to do a cutting cake and cupcakes and we did the chocolate cupcakes and the lemon cupcakes. I usually don't like lemon desserts, but these were so good we ended up getting them! They also had gluten free flavors that were really good that we ordered for our GF guests. The design was simple and classic, which is exactly what we wanted and it looked beautiful with our flowers and greenery from Wildflower San Clemente. The entire process was seamless from start to finish and guests were in love with the cupcakes! More...

The wedding cake for my son and daughter-in-law's recent wedding was beautiful and delicious. They created the cake as well as the top of the cake from pictures that she gave them and included her requested unique touches to make it very meaningful and memorable to them. Many of our guests complimented us about this cake. Thank you, Colleen and the staff at Its All About The Cake, for making our special wedding cake. More...

Tam started us off, really setting a nice & welcoming atmosphere--Colleen closed the deal, very professional, sweet, and offering advice when asked. Great experience, though I was just the self-invited tag-along, and not the actual bride-to-be...? And everything tasted great--looking forward to a big fat piece of wedding cake in December!!!

We ordered a custom Star Wars themed cake for our Dec 14th company Holiday Party this year. Colleen and her design team knocked it out of the park with the design, wowing everyone. Each layer of the 3-layered cake tasted as good as it looked too! Snickerdoodle, Vanilla with lemon, and marble with chocolate ganache - what more could we ask for! Thank you so much for helping create something extra special for our party. :) More...

They do everyday pastries and special occasion cake (including a good gluten free option). There is a cafe selection as well that I have never tried as well but looks good with coffee, salads, sandwiches and such. I got my wedding cake here, baby shower cake and sometimes just a cup cake for a treat. They have amazing pastries, great decorators, and unlike some special occasion cake places, the frosting is good. Definitely schedule a tasting here if you need a special occasion cake, it's better than any other place I've tried for miles and miles around.For a daily treat, they have a cream cheese frosting cinnamon roll that my husband loves as well as amazing gluten free red velvet cupcakes. There are other things I have yet to try and all look awesome. More...

First time we came was for a cake tasting and their gluten free cakes were surprisingly moist. They let us try whatever filling combos we wanted and didn't charge. Most bakeries charge for a tasting so this bonus was appreciated! More...
