The cakes taste like untoasted wheat bread or a muffin that tastes like cardboard. The frosting had a chemical artificial taste to it. The staff was okay. I would have liked to have been brought a menu of photo examples for cakes. I would not recommend getting a wedding cake from here and I would recommend tasting before buying.

Such a great bakery! I ordered cake pops for my son’s birthday and they were even better than I expected. Nina and Christina are so communicative and willing to help make sure you get want you need/want, from flavors to costs. Not to mention they tested sooooo yummy! Highly recommend!

I had a friends birthday coming up and thought this would be the perfect time to try ordering some gluten free cupcakes for her. It's a bit of a hunt for an exclusive place that specializes only in gluten free baked goods in the valley area.
Was feeling pretty excited as I did see on the website they only use non-gmo ingredients and that's a good base. So they also offered a lot of different flavor combinations for the cupcakes.
The staff at Half Baked are nice and they were happy to answer all my questions about the gluten free products. I remembered my husband had picked up some of the their gluten free cookies that we shared with the same friends when we had them over for a weekend lunch and to be honest, I couldn't taste any difference in the gluten free choc chip cookies and regular cookies. Their cookies were delicious and as a test run we thought there was no issues with the gluten free cookies so this was the perfect place to try the gluten free cupcakes for my friends birthday.
I ordered a mix of different flavored cupcakes and everyone seemed to enjoy them for dessert. In fact, when I shared with a few people at the birthday dinner they were gluten free cupcakes everyone was impressed as they were fluffy in texture and not like some they had tasted before that were dense. I think we've all had those kind of gluten free cupcakes. These cupcakes were rich in flavor and not too heavy, but of course sweet as all cupcakes are.
The next day I got a call from my friends husband that the cupcakes must have been gluten and not gluten free as she had a lot of stomach distress during the night and couldn't sleep. I was beside my self as I thought they would be alright as we had done a test run with the gluten free chocolate chip cookies before. Was it possible the bakery made a mistake and gave us gluten cupcakes instead? Maybe we will never know. Mistakes can happen it's understandable. It's just disappointing when it's a friends birthday.
So would I go back to Half Baked, absolutely. It was last year when this happened and this year I baked the gluten free cupcakes instead of buying them and was very careful with all the ingredients. It all went well the next few days after her birthday so I was able to create gluten free cupcakes and keep it at a high quality in taste and flavor she mentioned.
They do bake regular non gluten free pastries and other baked goods we've tried and all have been delicious. But thought it might be helpful to others to share our experience with the gluten free side of things. We don't know 100% if there was the cupcakes and it's hard to know.....

GF-If you’ve ever eaten REAL GF bakery items, don’t waste your time here. The cupcakes are all the same! They just add the “flavors” when you order with too sweet frosting.

This place is just as awesome as the people that own it! I ordered a Frozen custom cake and they delivered exactly what I pictured in my mind. Needless to say, the cake was absolutely delicious! They also offered nut free options for mini cupcakes, which was perfect for a school event! The staff was caring, super responsive and very patient! Absolutely recommended!

I can’t speak more highly of Half Baked Co! As a vegan, I’m always delighted when I find places that offer options that cater to my dietary needs, and Half Baked exceeded all of my expectations. They crafted my completely vegan, beautiful, delicious wedding cake five years ago, which was the star of our reception. I reached out to them earlier this week to see if they could make some cupcakes for my five year wedding anniversary that match the colors and vibes of my original wedding cake, and they did not disappoint. Both experiences were nothing short of exceptional.
The staff at Half Baked Co truly go above and beyond. My original wedding cake was vegan red velvet on one tier, and vegan marble on the second tier. When I reached out to inquire about my cupcake order (which was quite short notice - entirely my fault) I asked for 6x red velvet. I didn’t want to sound overly fussy by asking if they could do red velvet and marble, especially since I was ordering on such short notice, but their staff absolutely delighted me by ASKING if I wanted red velvet AND marble! They had looked up my past wedding cake order to ensure it was as close as possible to the original, and I honestly teared up at the gesture. I picked up the cupcakes today and they’re BEAUTIFUL and instantly recognizable as a reference to our original cake!
They’re my go-to place for my most special occasions, and I hope to continue to be a happy customer for many wedding anniversaries to come :)
Dietary restrictions: many vegan options! <3

Absolutely the best vegan gluten-free cupcakes around! Owner Christina is super friendly and we love coming here!
Nina & Christina did an incredible job on our wedding cake and dessert table. We wanted a silhouette story telling wedding and they captured it perfectly. The cake turned out beautifully! We also ordered other desserts and everything was delicious. Nina & Christina were super easy to work with. I highly recommend them for wedding cakes and other yummy desserts ❤️
We had such an amazing experience working with Half Baked for our wedding cake. We were losing hope searching for bakeries that offered delicious vegan flavors and felt defeated. My mom had mentioned Half Baked so we got a tasting box and ended up loving a few flavors. We ordered another box with our final choices and ended up settling on the vegan carrot cake. SO delicious! Never would we have thought that carrot cake would be our choice but this flavor is out of this world. Their customer service was amazing and they made everything easy and hassle free. When I came in for the second cake tasting box, Nina remembered me immediately. You can tell this is a family business and that they put time and dedication into their customers. The wedding planning process can be overwhelming and to have found a place that checked every box and with whom we felt confident in was a shining light in the dark! Plus our cake turned out absolutely beautiful. We wanted something simple and classic that would highlight my parents wedding cake topper from 40 years ago. It turned out exactly how we wanted! Thank you guys!

If you're looking for the perfect cake and/or cupcakes for your wedding, then you should book Half Baked Company RIGHT NOW! We had the pleasure of working with Nina and Christina who were everything you could ask for from a vendor! They were both so responsive and helpful to any question we sent them over email, they set up an AMAZING tasting where we got to try a ton of different cupcakes with our family (which we had a heated debate on which three we liked best because they were all PERFECT), and they truly delivered on the day of our wedding! All of our guests could not stop talking about how tasty the cupcakes were and we think the overall favorite was the honey lavender cupcake, but the others were CLOSE! The best part about Half Baked Company is that you can go to their store anytime and get any baked goods you want for any occasion and while we counted down the days to our wedding, we stopped in once or twice to get a few "warm up" cupcakes! Now... quit reading this review and reach out to them because they are the absolute best and really made our wedding day perfect! :D

I am obsessed with Half Baked because they are a family-owned company that I've been ordering from for years. Recently, they made a Hollywood-themed cake for my brother's 40th birthday, and it turned out beautifully. I love that they use healthy ingredients, so I never have to worry about the quality.
