KARL!! Absolutely amazing dessert! Ordered the passion fruit cake and mini cupcakes. Churro and Ultimate Churro for Easter and not one crumb left. 10/10 the best dessert we have ever had. I would drive to Vallejo 20 more times to get his dessert. I can’t wait to keep getting all the desserts from Karl. 100% recommend and will order again.

Cakes by Karl is a gem in Vallejo, offering cakes that are both visually stunning and downright delicious. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just indulging in a sweet treat, Karl Fong’s creations deliver on flavor and quality. The red velvet cake is a standout, known for its rich taste and moist texture, and the vegan options are just as satisfying Customers rave about the balance of sweetness and the freshness of ingredients, with macaroons and mini cakes also being crowd favorites. Karl’s passion for baking shines through in every creation, from classic designs to intricate custom cakes that push the boundaries of artistry If you’re looking for a cake that tastes as good as it looks, Cakes by Karl is worth a visit. The prices reflect the craftsmanship, but the quality makes it well worth it Whether it’s a wedding, birthday, or just a craving for something sweet, this bakery delivers every time

Karl and his team provided us a beautiful fall themed cake. We were inspired to hire him after seeing him on the food network channel. It’s so great to have such a great baker in our hometown. He was open to our ideas and provided us valuable insight. Thank you so much for all your assistance on our wedding day!

100% best cake, pastry, and desert designer. We ordered a ton of stuff, and all of it was amazing. His list of deserts was vast, and the execution was exactly what we hoped for. He even threw in a separate design that I asked for but was veto'd for the bulk of our party. My only concern the communication leading up to our event, he was clear and effective whenever we reached out. I think part of this is that we had a lot of questions at different times leading up to our event that took time to answer. Karl is clearly deeply invested in his work and it shines in what he brings to your table.

I ordered some mini deserts from cakes by Karl. I ordered mini red velvet cupcakes, mini peanut butter salted Carmel cupcakes, mini lemon meringue, mini fruit tart and dark chocolate henny For a bridal shower. The deserts were amazing. I would definitely recommend this place for deserts

We ordered a cake from Karl for my mom’s birthday after seeing him on the Halloween Baking Competition. He was very friendly and took the time to sit with us to understand what we were looking for even though he seemed very busy. We asked for a bird theme, preferably in a nest with some flower detailing. We showed him some inspiration photos, but ultimately wanted him to have creative freedom. He was able to get the cake done on time for the party and it was beautiful! Definitely the nicest cake I have ever seen and the taste was great! Our guests loved it and so did my mom. Would recommend if you are looking for a creative and decorative cake for your event.

We ordered a cake for a 50th Wedding Anniversary. The cake was designed perfectly for the occasion with delicious buttercream frosting and custom, handmade roses. It was a very delicious red velvet. Highly recommend for your special occasions!

Order that unique cake for that moment to remember in life from Cakes by Karl. He is informative and patient because there's a lot of flavors to choose from so it may take you a minute to decide. His service was quick and friendly. The shop's ambiance was quaint and calm, since all he sells are his amazing cakes and some special treats.

Karl is amazing. For my daughter's birthday last year if she wanted a cake with your favorite K-pop group on it and let me just tell you that they absolutely nailed it. The cake was beautiful and it was delicious. Most important way. My daughter was so excited definitely not the high points of her birthday

Amazing service- called 24 hours before needing a cake and I was helped with urgency. Fast response- I filled out the order form and answered all my questions over the phone. Delicious cake - cake looked so beautiful and the taste was 10/10!!! Price was right-the price is reasonable and would pay more for the overall look and taste. Would definitely recommend them and use them again.

Karl was amazing! We had a small but elegant three layer cake, (carrot, strawberry with lemon, and lemon). He did everything we asked for as far as design and we couldn't have been more pleased!

Can Karl make a cake? YES HE CAN! This cake was delicious, worth every penny. Loved everything about this cake and the buttercream was delicious. This is the exact cake the bride, my daughter, wanted.

I can't recommend Cakes by Karl enough! Karl did an incredible job with our wedding cake and our special mini cake order for our family dinner the night before. As a big fan of Food Network's Halloween Baking Championship, I was thrilled to support a local winner, and he did not disappoint! The cake tasting experience was amazing. Karl offered a variety of flavors to try, making it hard to choose just two for our wedding cake. We ended up ordering mini cake samples for our family dinner so that everyone could try a few more flavors. Unfortunately, a little mishap occurred when ants took over the mini cakes while we were out to dinner. But Karl really went above and beyond--he quickly stepped in to help and delivered a fresh batch of mini cakes to our wedding the very next day. It's rare to see that kind of customer care! The wedding cake itself was a masterpiece. It looked just like the inspiration pictures I had shared with Karl, and it tasted even better! We chose a tier of vanilla cake with strawberries and a chocolate tier for the top--both were absolute hits. I plan to return to Cakes by Karl for many anniversaries to come, and I can't wait to order slices to enjoy with my husband every year. Thank you, Karl, for making our special day even sweeter!

So let's get into this cake. I was throwing my bro in law a party for his bday and a girlfriend asked me to do the cake as she wanted to use Karl. I agreed and let her order the cake. This cake was amazing. It was white cake with fresh strawberries with whip cream in the inside. Made the cake a jazz theme with fire dept as he is a fire captain. Everything on the cake was edible and the service I heard was great. The cake was delicious too. Everyone loved the cake so I needed to do a review as it was so nice I gave out karl info to so many people. If you are looking for a cake, use Karl.

Karl was a pleasure to work with. My daughter wanted a specific cake for her 25th birthday, and Karl was very responsive in his communication. He made sure he clearly understood my wishes for the cake and exceeded my expectations! If you're looking to make your celebration special, go to Karl!

One of my friends bought these delicious tarts for me as birthday gift. I loved all of them. Not only are they pretty in presentation, but they also taste delicious. I plan on coming by to try other treats.

We will call you for all our special cakes!

Beautiful cake and customizable options. We ordered their coffee cake. My family wasn't too happy with the flavor. We couldn't really detect the taste of the coffee. The cake was moist with elegant decoration. They have a nice shop with some variety of desserts. We may try a different cake flavor but will probably order by slice to sample before buying another whole cake.

The cream to cake ratio was 50/50. There was so much butter cream it was hard for all our guest and myself to eat. I ordered the cake for my 1 year olds bday. It also had a hearty price tag as well. Quite disappointed as we couldn't even finish half the cake with 30 people. Everyone tried to scrape off the butter cream to salvage what they could eat.

We sampled the cake flavors by taking a variety of cupcakes to the assisted living facility Cogir. My aunt selected the devils food with salted caramel. The cake we ordered had cream cheese filling with the salted caramel and buttercream icing on the outside. The cake was not only beautiful but it was delicious beyond expectation. The buttercream was melt in your mouth with just the right amount of sweetness. Definitely the best cake we have had since Katrina Rozelle closed.

I found Cakes by Karl as my family and I were driving home and happened to notice his pink corner bakery and had just left a very dissapointing tasting elsewhere. The welcoming and clean environment of his shop already had me feeling positive about stopping to find out more about who Karl was and what he could offer as I needed to find a baker to make my daughter's quinceañera cake. After meeting Karl that day and leaving his bakery knowing we were definitely in good hands due to his warmth, humor, and professionlism, he did not disappoint during the tasting and execution of the cake and desserts ordered. His flavor combinations are outstanding and has a range to choose from. He ia easy to work with and makes you deel at ease. His price points are competitive and better than surrounding bakeries as are his cakes and desserts. My family will continue to be customers of Karl! If you're looking for a great baker, hire Karl!!!!

Tried another dessert from Cakes by Karl, I got the Mango Mousse cake available at Berkeley Bowl. Brought it to a Pickelball (fastest growing sport in the USA) happy-hour function and it was a smash and not a dink! The cake was light, moist, not overly sweet with plenty of mango flavor. Refrigerate until serving.

Cakes by Karol is an amazing Bakery! The owner responds quickly, he is very professional and super friendly. His cakes never disappoint they are delicious and moist. Regardless if you get a simple cake it stills looks really nice and elegant. Prices are very reasonable. The bakery is small yet he still accommodates you for a group tasting. I give this place a 10!

If you have a sweet tooth, please do stop into Cakes by Karl! My best friend is getting married and we were looking for places to do her cake tasting and my boyfriend recommended this place, so I knew I had to try it. We stopped in and left with this delicious treat. It's the perfect amount of sweetness and the berries on top make it really refreshing. This is probably one of my favorite places to get red velvet cake now. I know her cakes will be different for the wedding, but if they taste anything like this I will be frequenting that dessert table all night.

The staff are delightful, considerate, and friendly. The Dark Chocolate Hennessey was fantastic (dark chocolate lover here) and for dessert I got a sleeve of the chocolate chip cookies, fresh out of the back. They were also GREAT! What a wonderful place. Stop in and see for yourself! Parking is around back, it is located on a corner.

In a matter of 3 months, I have ordered a cake from cakesbyKarl and I have not been disappointed. Each time, Karl has been easy to work with, very responsive and eager to meet my needs, even on short notice. The cakes are over the top delicious and everyone partaking has raved at how awesome they are. I definitely will continue to keep this business in mind for every occasion.

I asked Karl for a cake for a baby shower. I had the Winnie the Pooh cake toppers but he suggested a honey jar, honeycomb and daisies!! It was chocolate cake with a chocolate mousse filling. Everyone complimented on the cake!! Moist! Not too sweet! Beautiful!! Thank you Karl!

Karl made 3 amazingly delicious cakes for our daughter's 30th birthday including a flourless chocolate cake for our glutenfree guests. Delicate and beautiful. We will definitely be back for more!

A little late to review but I asked Karl to make me a small birthday cake based on two pics and a description of what I wanted and it came out sooo beautiful. I loved the whole real flowers look on cakes. The inside was red velvet, one of my fav flavors that I know they do well. It also tastes great even after freezing! Tall, moist, richly flavored, and reasonably priced. I was even worried I asked too last minute but he assured me he could make this cake in time (normally it's best to place an order at least a week prior to the b-day event).

Yummy.. this is mainly for the cupcakes. I'm so happy to have them at the BerkeleyBowl. They're delicious. I will try the cakes. I'm pretty sure they're probably just as delicious given that the cupcakes are delicious.

We stopped by on our way home from Lake Tahoe. We had watched Karl on the Halloween Baking Championship. My daughter and I rooted for him all season, so we wanted to try his cake. We purchased several cupcakes during our visit. They were all good, but some of the specialty flavors were amazing. Karl was there but didn't seem like he wanted to chat so we left him alone. He has talent with flavors though.

Been wanting to visit this local gem. Cakes by Karl made a name for himself from winning a famous bake off competition #HalloweenBakingChampionship of ⁦@FoodNetwork⁩! So of course, I'm an immediate local fan and must support. For my birthday this year I opted to try the Japanese Cotton Cheesecake. OMGodddddd! It is heavenly delicious. Super light but lots of flavor. I mean WOW. So, yes, I highly recommend this bakery. I also tried the Red Velvet cupcake. Scrumptious! I devoured that cupcake LOL! 8/3/21 Update: I tried the Salted Caramel cupcake with my sis. Jaw dropping delicious! The icing (on the mocha side) was so creamy with a hint of salted caramel. I think this could be my #1 choice of cupcake. But then again, I haven't tried all the flavors yet. I will definitely return to Cakes by Karl. I will definitely pick-up more desserts here for my friends & family.

If you are getting married in the Napa area, or Bay Area, and you want mini desserts for your wedding, book Karl!! His desserts were delicious and such a hit with everyone!! People were grabbing them by the handfuls and commented on how much they loved all the desserts. We ordered mini shooters of the mango mousse and chocolate hennessy, and got the mini fruit tart and red velvet cupcake. He made everything look beautiful and the colors were so vibrant. Everything was delicious!!! He made pickup easy and he delivers for a small fee too. Karl is incredibly nice and so easy to work with. The tasting was so fun as well. We got to try some awesome desserts and my partner said that was the most fun, and easiest part of wedding planning. Cannot recommend or thank karl enough for making our night even sweeter.

I called Karl for a last minute red velvet cake. He only had a few days in advanced and squeezed me in. I ordered a naked cake plain, red velvet, was super moist, delicious. he delivered my expectations and above. (My own decorations) my cake turned out amazing & flavorful. Thanks Karl

Karl and his team made my wedding cake. It was delicious and beautiful. Karl has great energy and he made the process super easy. My guests loved it! I've tried different bakeries in Vallejo and This bakery is by far the best. The flavors of the cakes come through and he offers delicious combinations of cakes and fillings. I'm going to be coming back here for my next party ---or even just to buy a chocolate Hennessy slice.

At first I was a little unsure when asking Karl to make the desserts to our dinner party, but I was extremely glad I did. He gave a very affordable price to the great tasting treats he provided us. Our guests liked it so much that at the end of the night I couldn't stop giving recommendations to all of my friends and family to him. To top it all off, we had a special order that we couldn't really find anywhere with the size and extravagance in mind, a croquembouche. This tower of creme puffs lathered in crunchy caramel that breaks in to tasty amber shards. I only had a few of them but when I went back for more, my guests had already devoured all of it! This special order was definitely a shot in the moon and I still can't believe that Karl was able to pull it off so well! After about half an hour of taking my sweet time eating the desserts I picked out and going back to the dessert table for more I was met with an empty table and regret for not taking more. I should've got more and eaten more but alas, I shall need to go back to his store and order more. Definitely give this place a try and you won't be disappointed!

Karl and his team did the cake and desserts for our wedding this past April 2022. From the moment we stepped foot into his shop for the first time, Karl made us feel like we were old friends. He was very generous with his samples and thorough in describing his style, numerous flavors, and various pastries, although his confections spoke for themselves. Everything we tasted was delicious, which made it a challenge to narrow our selection. We went with this three-tier cake (kahlua and chocolate raspberry), and our desserts included a Henny chocolate mousse, lemon meringue, red velvet cupcakes, caramel apple chocolate cake, and white chocolate toffee pretzel cookies. These were all a hit at our wedding and our guests couldn't get enough! My wife, our parents, and I will definitely return to his shop now and then to fulfill the cravings that are sure to arise.

Karl did a great job helping me get a cake for my sisters 25th birthday. I live out of state and he was patient helping me get everything set up long distance. My sister said the cake had great flavor (passionfruit filling and buttercream frosting) and it was very moist. This is my family's new go-to bakery in Vallejo!

Karl did an AMAZING job on my sons 1st Birthday cake. We had a music/rock and roll theme and asked for a drum cake and it definitely surpassed our expectations! Looked way better than the reference pictures I had sent him. It looked so real that the kids didn't believe us it was edible. It was a treat to see their faces when we finally cut a slice. We got the Chocolate Raspberry and it was delicious! He also made a small buttercream frosted smash cake for my son to eat and even that was very good and not overly sweet! We had a last minute emergency and change in plans for the due date and Karl was very accommodating and a pleasure to work with. Would definitely recommend for your next special occasion!

5 stars will not be enough to express the quality of the cake. We ordered a birthday cake for my sister and it came out soooo beautiful. Karl got every single detail that we wanted. He is also very easy to work with and so patient and understanding (Karl--if you are reading this, please forgive me and all my crazy texts. hahaha). The cake was also reasonably priced. But the real icing on the cake (pun intended) -- was how delicious it was! Most of the guest also took some home cause it was so delicious! I just can't say enough great words! Karl--thanks for making my sister's birthday special. WE ALL LOVED THE CAKE :)
