Dragonfly Cakes

I first received these cakes as a gift and they were hand delivered to my house because the gift giver was late and I happened to live in Sausalito and this business actually offered to hand deliver them to me! That is not the norm for this business of course, (please don’t expect that!!) but I mention it only because it illustrates how fantastic their customer service is. They go out of their way to please their customers AND the cakes are delicious, the quality is always consistent, and the packaging superb. I have been a loyal customer ever since. They make great gifts for mothers, teachers, grandmothers, anniversaries, new home owners, and the like. The bite size pieces means your recipient can enjoy the pleasure of the cakes, without spoiling their diet so they are pretty much perfect for anyone! And, they freeze very well, if the recipient can’t get to them right away. I highly, highly recommend them!

Birthday, Easter, Mother’s Day, Weddings — these ladies can do it all. Omg. Got some for Easter and I can not wait till Mother’s Day or Something. Anything. They make the best petite fours and I would use them for a gift or a wedding cake. I saw the most amazing selection. Much better than a large frumpy cake. The fillings were to die for!!! I had one with coffee crème and chocolate. Omg! And they do not use that crappy sugar frosting? Fondit? What ever it is – it is awful. Dragonfly uses real white chocolate and they are all hand made. All real good stuff! Going to get all my special gifts and events from this place!!! LOVE IT!

I used their bridal petit fours in-​lieu of wedding cake for an intimate ceremony aboard our charter boat. The woman on the phone was friendly and helpful. I was able to customize the order and gave our clients what they wanted. They added chocolate to the mix and decorated them with the bride & groom’s initials, all for $ 1 extra. I picked them up two days in advance and they thawed perfectly (I put them on a plate and covered it with plastic wrap). Thankfully the newly weds shared with the crew –the little cakes were rich & delicious.

Amazing petit fours! The perfect little treat, I am only sad I didn’t t buy more.
It was the perfect amount of marzipan matched with a delicate flavor cake simply beautiful.
I almost finished the box of 16 myself the only recommendation would be is to buy a full 32 next time.

I jumped on a Groupon opportunity to try Dragonfly’s tiny goods and was very happy I did. The place is hidden in a non-​descript office/​warehouse setting, but upon opening the door, its like walking into the petit-​four Willy Wonka factory with warm smells of baking filling the air.
The petit fours were beautifully decorated and even better tasting. My coworkers were impressed with flavors, texture, and over taste of these little gems. They are a little pricey, but worth it. I would definitely buy more, especially their holiday themed ones– the pumpkin fall themed ones were way too cute!

Another amazing super fun class! We assembled a four layer cake, crumb coat with buttercream and covered with fondant that we rolled out. I even mixed my own pale yellow shade of fondant and decorated with fondant leaves and flowers that we made. If I could make a pretty cake at Dragonfly anybody can. I suggest doing a bit of research ahead of time so you have an idea of what kind of design you’d like to make as I felt overwhelmed trying to decide on the fly.

Absolutely lovely petits-​fours!
I had originally ordered a 24-​pc box of petits-​fours, and then got greedy and decided on another 8-​pc to make it a set of 32 lovelies.
If I remember correctly, the flavours I got were vanilla, chocolate, raspberry, and lemon. They were freshly made to order and you could definitely tell from each and every one of those delectable all-​too-​ephemeral bites.
The cake was moist, the sandwiched frosting delectable and light, while the fondant crust cracked softly under the pressure of your teeth slowly sinking into these tiny parcels of joy!
At more than $ 2 a piece, it’s on the pricey side; but then when has a petit four ever been cheap?

I ordered the chocolate and raspberry petit fours for a recent party. They were adorable and delicious — and they keep for a couple weeks in the fridge (not that they’re likely to last that long!). They’ll ship to you, or if you’re in the Sausalito area, you can pick them up.

I took a cake decorating class at Dragonfly Cakes today — it was great! The class was small enough that I got plenty of help, including some tips that made the cake even prettier in the end. We also got to taste test some petit fours and chocolates while we worked. Amy was a great instructor, very friendly and knowledgeable. If you want to learn how to make a beautiful cake, take this class.

I took a Petits Four making class and it was fantastic. I am gluten free and they were kind enough to let me bring my own gluten free cake with which to work! I couldn’t have been happier with the results!

Was looking for something different then a box of chocolates and flowers this year to get the little lady for valentines day. So I got on Unilocal last night and found Dragonfly Cakes and figured a box of cakes is different right?
Today I picked up a 16 piece seasonal sampler box of these petit fours cakes and was also given a free sample… yum. They are just the right size not too big not too small and just the right amount of sweetness and moist moist most… at this point I guess you have figured out I gave them to the wife early and yes she shared.
She loves them and they came in a cool lime green box as well so it made for a nice gift… for both of us :-)

This place is incredible! I think I can safely say that these are some of the best sweets I’ve ever had. The petit fours are almost too cute to eat (but SO worth eating!!)

Heavens to Betsey is this place serving some delicious treats!
I ordered a selection of petits fours that were all in a Summer variety, so Apricot, Raspberry, Lemon, Vanilla-​Orange.
I am not kidding you when I say these little treats were so delicious they are arguably some of the best treats I have had all year! The frosting is light and melts in your mouth. The cake is moist and fluffy-​perfect. The fruity filling is light, fresh and just divine.
She works off hours right now due to the slow season but she is super helpful and willing to work around your schedule. This little place was a delightful treat for my birthday goodness this year.

Petit fours? Little 3 bite cakes of varying flavors that I can have 3 or 4 of in one sitting before I start to overload on the sweet stuff? Hecks yes! Dragonfly cakes are still some of my absolute favorite cakes in the whole wide world. I went to a couple wedding fairs and what not where they had booths and I kept gravitating back to their booth so that I could try more of their divine treats.
Now you can order some and have them shipped to you, or you can pick them up if you feel like making the trek out to Sausalito yourself. It’s perfect for a bridal shower, baby shower, or if you are like me… just order them when you need a fix haha!
Sooo good.

These petit fours are so delicious! And they’re pretty and make fantastic displays, too. Perfect as a walk-​around dessert. They will customize for you (I had them spell out my wedding date for my engagement party). The folks were really nice and accomodating in general.
The downside is that we had to go to Sausalito to pick them up, but big whoop. Oh, and they’re not super cheap. But I think they’re a great dessert for pre-​wedding parties or a chic alternative to wedding cake.

It’s true that before I met Brooks I never really knew that those little cakes were called petit fours. And even whenever I had tried them they were usually dry and boring. Then I was introduced to Dragonfly Cakes and have a new found appreciation for these delectable creations. I’ve since kept my eyes open and have been fortunate to find Dragonfly Cakes at many different events this past year– b-​day parties, weddings, work parties…
Though food quality and customer service are usually a hard combination to find Brooks and her crew have mastered both. When you call to make an order or ask even some questions they treat you like family.
I will recommend these guys to everyone I know!
Thank you for being such a great business and part of the community!

These are a truly special treat. Not only are they presented perfectly, they taste as good as well…
My favorite is the Vanilla-​Orange (think orange creamsicle), but you will also find me eating the Chocolate (which is odd, because I don’t normally like chocolate), Apricot and Lemon flavors. Who am I kidding, I eat all of the flavors.
I was first introduced to this at Woodlands Market, but then found them again at a birthday party and again when I stayed at the Ritz on the East coast. I now order from Dragonfly for all of my events, get togethers or even random special occasions.

I haven’t even eaten the petits fours yet, but I am still giving Dragonfly 5 stars because of how lovely Brooke — the owner (I assume she is the owner) — is. I called her to order some petits fours, which I love, for my 40^th birthday party. She was easy going and helpful on the phone, and when I finally decided that I would spend the extra $ 15 to have them UPS’d to me and gave Brooke my address, she offered to drop them off because my work is near her home. I was having a bad day and it was just such a NICE offer. When we finally coordinated drop off, the petits fours (numbered 1 – 40) looked beautiful, she made me an extra pink one just for me, AND made a handful of additional ones for my kids. I just really appreciated that kind of customer service, and I was having a really crappy week too, so it was really just what I needed.
I have no doubt they taste great, but I’ll find out for sure tomorrow.

I actually ordered the all-​occasion petits fours from Costco (4 dozen for $ 74.99 which includes 2^nd day shipping). It was definitely a lot more economical than ordering from Dragonfly’s website.
Since it is a special item made for Costco, the petits fours looked a little different than the ones listed on the Dragonfly website. (They’re square, not diamond shaped and the designs were flowers and squiggly circles). The best part, however, was the order consisted of all 4 flavors (raspberry, vanilla-​orange, lemon, and hazelnut). I got these for my sister’s bridal shower and they were a big hit. Everyone thought they were so cute :)
The only petit four I had the opportunity of tasting was the hazelnut one and it was delicious and moist. The frosting was not too overpowering and sweet.
I also had a chance to talk to a Dragonfly employee on the phone and she was extremely helpful and nice. (There was a mix-​up with the tracking number on my order).

Had these at an Appel and Frank event. They are the perfect Nicole snack:
Small
Comes in pretty colors
loaded with sugar
Still, others besides Nicole will enjoy these little crack-​cakes.
