Darla’s Cake Design

Darla’s cake design did an amazing job with the cake for my grandmother’s 90^th birthday. It looked so beautiful and tasted amazing. We received a lot of compliments on the cake. And most importantly, my grandmother loved it!

The best cupcakes in Chino Hills! We love the red velvet and the peanut butter cupcakes the best. They are always so fresh and moist! I promise you they will melt in your mouth.

Nice selection of cupcakes that are beautifully decorated and delicious! They taste as good as they look!

Amazing cupcakes with wonderful workers very friendly big smiles. I personally love every cupcake they make i love all of their workers its just a very loving place. Their bakeshop makes me smile

I was in the neighborhood and just stopped in to inquire about a cake for my sons 5^th birthday. While there I got a couple of cupcakes. I figured this would be a good indication of the actual cake would be good or not. I ordered myself the salted caramel almond and let me tell you, if my mama was around, she would have gotten smacked cause it was that good!!! I will definitely be back!!!

Since I love cupcakes, bought myself a dozen cupcakes today!
Salted almond caramel
Strawberry shortcake
Cookie and cream
The party
Just vanilla
24 carot
Blueberry cheesecake
Caramel cheesecake
Rocky road
I already had two of them. The cupcakes are really moist and not dry! However, the cupcakes are a little on the sweet side. Definitely grab a glass of milk while having the cupcake.

Been here a few times, only like the cookies and cream, red velvet flavors. Wish the owner was nicer! Maybe you would get more business if you were nicer to your customers.

Looking for good cupcakes for dinner desert on a Friday, stopped by no other choices around. First off these Cupcakes were expensive $ 16 for 4 cupcakes. I thought man these will definitely be gourmet. Picked out red velvet, carrot cake, chocolate and blueberry cheesecake. Honestly, my wife did not finish a single cupcake picked at each one and said meh. The flavor was justnot there bread was mooshy, and frosting was not tasty at all. I will compare them to grocery bought cupcakes. We actually agreed the cupcakes at sams are much better n cheaper too.

My husband and I walked in one day about 30 minutes before closing. We had just returned from the doctors office and just found out the gender of our baby. We wanted to surprise our kids with some cupcakes– but to no surprise they were pretty much out of everything. We were so disappointed, however Darla (I think it was Darla) was so willing to help. She took 6 of her tuxedo cupcakes and filled them with pink filling and re-​frosted them.
It was perfect! We had more than what we originally wanted or expected. We were thinking we’d walk in, buy some pink frosted cupcakes and be done. She went totally above and beyond and I can’t thank her enough for doing so!
I can’t tell you how excited the family was to bite into the cupcakes to find out the gender. It made the moment a lot of fun.
Thanks again– we will never forget what you did for our family!

If you like a good cupcake, then this is the place to go. They offer a wide variety of interesting cupcake flavors. I’ve tried many of them, and they’re all pretty delicious. (I really enjoyed the Rise n Shine, maple and bacon cupcake… yummy!)
They also do cakes made-​to-​order, big and small for special occasions. I checked out their Facebook page, and they have pics of a lot of their nice designs.
I’m so glad I found this place. I finally found a good bakery close to home.

Very friendly staff. Darla was very patient w my custom order of cupcakes. This is a high end bakery, some very unique flavors. Those who left neg feedback are either her competitors or psycho bitches. They lack the training and yrs of exp from a Cake Wars judge who praised her work. And THAT is very difficult to achieve!
Highly recommend. Stop by and enjoy her cupcakes and other baked goods.

Cupcakes here are generally really good. My favorite is the lemon (it’s filled with lemon curd and has lemon frosting) it’s addicting! Today’s samplings were the tuxedo and cookies & cream. The tuxedo was chocolate cake with chocolate chips baked inside and buttercream frosting (hubby and the 3 year old voted it favorite of the day)
There is one cupcake here that is a contest winner that we hated… made with rose water… it’s the only one that I have not liked,
The owner is nice and the cupcakes start at about $ 3.50 each

Cupcakes here are decent but don’t dare try to order custom ones. And when I say custom all I really wanted were those fondant flat basketball, baseball, and football. I thought for a second that they were doing the math wrong, but in the end they were charging $ 3.50 for the cupcake and then an additional $ 3.00 for the topper. Really? $ 6.50 per cupcake. I’m sorry but some of your cupcakes may be good but they’re not that good!!!

Needed a last minute birthday cake and Darla saved the day. I wasn’t able to come into the shop to talk about the design of the cake so it was all done over the phone. Darla was patient and very helpful in helping me pick out the design of the cake. The cake she created was chocolate on chocolate with white cream frosting with added stripes and a champagne bottle all made out of fondant. The white frosting that she recommended was so smooth it resembled fondant. I loved it. The entirety of the cake definitely exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend coming to Darla for a custom cake.
Thank you again Darla for creating my Dad’s birthday cake in less than 24 hours. He loved it. See you again soon. All the best.

DO NOT DO BUSINESS HERE!
I’m going to come back and leave a more detailed review in a moment. Writing about it on my blog right now.
In the meantime I would suggest dolcissimo across the street. (great for cakes, go to mycupcake delight for cupcakes)
–completely messed up my daughters 1^st Birthday cake and jumbo cupcake
–wrong color of cake… i received an orange cake not a coral cake…(I will post photos in a moment too)
Update*** as you can see with the owners response she is tacky, who brings up someone’s children! My kids are treated wonderfully thank you! Anyways I’m not even going to acknowledge your filthy mouth… but I will now say you have made me want to share my experience with your nasty establishment.
I will do my best to showcase your lack of customer service and kindness to anyone in our local area that brings your business up.
You are too funny lady! All I wanted was you to admit that you were wrong… I’m not looking for a refund or anything free. Just a I’m sorry for making your daughters 1^st Birthday cake and smash cake incorrectly (not to your liking) .
Good luck

Being new to the area (and a fan of sweets) I decided to check out this Cupcake Wars contestant. I was glad I did.
The store is quaint but cute and not far off the beaten path but you kind of have to look for it. The store was clean and the displays nice. The staff was very helpful and very cordial.
Now for the good stuff. I got a flower shaped cookie as well as 2 cupcakes. The Oreo and the Blueberry Cheesecake. The cheesecake was light and airy with just the right amount of filling inside. I also really, really enjoyed the graham cracker crumble on the top. This was aesthetically pleasing and quite tasty.
I recommend this to any cupcake aficionado to try out and am certain I will be back again soon as well.

Walked into this place today purchased
4 cupcakes for $ 14.00 they looked amazing. Very limited selection.
No prices posted anywhere (bummer)
I was very disappointed the cake was dry and crumbling, falling apart, icing was hard and just way to sweet. So sweet it was just gross.
Not even my kids liked the basic cupcake with pink frosting. Again they were beautiful. Overall I felt they were way over priced and just not good.
I would Not recommended this place.

This is my favorite cupcake shop around. I like the smaller amount of frosting, I hate when the frosting is piled on.
The frosting is the best! It’s not to buttery like My Delight, and it’s not too sweet and dense like Dolcissimo. The Blueberry cheesecake is the best gourmet cupcake I’ve ever had!
The women are usually so sweet when I go there. My only issue is when my mom got her free birthday cupcake reward from SpotOn. They told us that my mom had to go home and print out the reward, even though it says on the offer that you do not need to print it out, so my mom never received her free birthday cupcake.

WHAT A MOIST SURPRISE CLOSE TO HOME! For a recent event, we ordered three dozen gourmet cupcakes from Darla’s Cake Design. We selected various cupcakes including, but not limited to, Cookies N’ Cream, Red Velvet, the Party (vanilla with sprinkles baked inside… yes, baked inside), and Strawberry Shortcake.
Once displayed in my masculine cupcake display tower, the cupcakes stole the show. Guests, upon entering my humble abode, were drawn to the delectable beauty of primary frosting colors and sprinkles that covered the moist cake center. My attention, too, was drawn to the cakes in the shape of a cup, and I wanted to skip dinner. Don’t tell anyone, but I boxed up a few to make sure I could have my sweet moment after the party.
Now as far as taste, the cupcakes were sweet, moist, and everything good about tempting a waistline. The cupcakes were certainly different than my usual locale, but I was impressed with the options that were new to me.
How about the service and the location? The service was excellent. The staff took our order promptly, made suggestions, and ensured our tasty treats would be ready on time… and they were. The location is pretty easy in and out. A small strip location on Grand Avenue with a signal to make a quick escape. Management here should be proud of their staff and their tasty surprises.

Let me first say I’ve been to Darla’s thrice now sampling each and every single flavor that I’ve seen on the menu. The customer service is very good. Anyone who has ever helped me at the counter, I presume even Darla herself, has been unbelievably warm, receptive and is obviously passionate about what they do here.
The first time I had Darla’s, I ordered four different flavors and literally tried each and every single of them. While for the most part, their flavors remained true to their descriptions, the cakes themselves weren’t moist, and the frosting carried more of a sugary sweetness versus the sweetness stemming from it’s stated flavor. I dismissed that first time because I had towards closing time and figured the cupcakes were probably just sitting out for a while.
The second and third times, I ordered a half dozen different flavors (with some repeats), and again, the same outcome, dry, hard, almost sponge like cake, with a indistinguishable frosting— meaning the flavor I was looking for was faint at best. This time I shared these with 4 other people to get their feedback. They reported it was good, but nothing special from the other boxes of cupcakes from varying locations. (Mind you, I have been to many, many cupcake stores, locally and all over the country, even past the US borders.
My third visit was just recently, and I got a cookie, the salted caramel and a vanilla. I was painfully disapointed the third time.
Maybe my taste or preferences are different than most, but after three failed attempts, I will regretfully be unable to further partake in Darla’s creations.
