Frosting Bliss - Edit
I’ve been coming to Sensitive Sweets since their soft opening. Whenever I’m close enough to drive by I make it a point to stop in. Most items are vegan, but there’s an odd few that are not. I’ve gifted some of their make at home mixes to friends, I’ll load up on treats for everyone I know. Cookie designs are precious, and there is a large variety of treats to choose from. They offer custom service as well but I’ve never used this. There’s a limited selection of beverages to go as the bakery is not fully vegan and rather allergy free (with a lot of cross over) so you’ll need to find your soy/nut milk alternative elsewhere, or enjoy the lemonade on hand. They also offer a reward program. Sometimes I wish I could swim in their frosting and have to come in when the craving is too strong. During traffic time the intersection can be a bit difficult to navigate and during dinner time the parking can be slim as they are surrounded by other restaurants. I would suggest mornings and early afternoon for the least shopping stress. Look for the pink windows ~

Ehhhh - Edit
They don’t have the biggest range of things but they have brownies, cupcakes, seasonal items, and bread. They even have some vegan gummy worms and rings so that was exciting. You can get custom cakes for pretty much any event! It’s pretty average priced considering it’s all gluten free and vegan, however I wish things were a tad bit sweeter and I wish they had a larger range of items. I was pretty disappointed in the brownie and the brownie/cookie combo they had. They were severely lacking in sweetness and didn’t taste like anything. Considering they are catering to a very specific audience, the items weren’t bad but there’s room for improvement.

Wonderful! - Edit
I ordered cupcake push pops ahead of time & had them delivered to a family member’s house......since we were driving 500 miles to attend a family party where there weren’t going to be any vegan dessert options. The delivery was prompt & the cupcake pops were yummy! We’re really happy we had a great dessert while everyone else ate their cake.

I want to like this place. I appreciate that they tried. I think they set out to did something very tough - make desserts vegan and gluten-free and not use nuts. Well, I am a dessert fiend and got several things from here, not one was even good. I thought the things I got were stale but sadly I think that is just the consistency when you try to set out to do too many things at once. Keep trying guys, I hope you get it right someday.

Delicious Vegan & Gluten-free options - Edit
Update: I changed them form a 5 star rating to a three star because the worker was terrible! She rang up the items incorrectly (when the sign said the correct price and her register was incorrect) and didn’t want to refund the money. She had a terrible attitude and for that alone, I might not return. Delicious bakery items - loved the lemon cake push-up (my husband said the chocolate was really good)! The cinnamon bread was amazing, especially toasted! We also liked the sugar cookie, thumbprints, and muffins. A definitive must stop when we're in Orange County!

Soooooo good! - Edit
I have wanted to try this place for some time. I picked up a few cupcakes to sample and they were AMAZING. The flavor of the cake helped to balance out the sweetness of the frosting. I used to take the hour plus drive up to Erin McKenna's for good sweets. It's nice to know I won't have to make that drive as often!

excellent and very helpful - Edit
Excellent quality- gf vegan except the lemon bar has eggs. I live in Las Vegas and make a point to come here every time I am down here. The push up cake pops are awesome (moist and yummy), the cookies are super sweet but worth it. Also the have the best gf vegan bread ever

Amazing Wedding Cake but.... - Edit
I LOVED the succulent wedding cake they designed for me, the catch is you have to ask them to make it sweeter... I went for 25% sweeter and it was great!
Read moreAs is, all of their regular desserts when you visit the shop are in desperate need of additional sugar, I didn't care for anything I picked up there after my wedding cake tasting.
Pros: Vegan Wedding Cakes, Friendly and accommodating staff
Cons: Pricey, Severely lacking sugar

Vegan Cupcakes are divine! - Edit
The first time I tried their cupcakes I was not too impressed. There was some grainy texture in the cake. However, I revisited it again lately and that problem disappeared. Their cupcakes are gluten free and vegan. Their lemon bars are not vegan.
Read moreIf you are not sure, ask, the person there knows the ingredients.
What I love is the Red Velvet cupcakes. However, I tried the Mint Chocolate Chip and Black Forrest. They are divine!
I was also offered the cake pop. Vegan cake pop! It was Raspberry Chocolate. Wow, very good!
I recommend this bakery. I ordered a quarter sheet of red velvet cupcakes for my co-worker birthday and everyone in the office loved it. They don't know it was gluten free vegan.
The only caveat is that it is quite expensive. It is probably because of the quality of ingredients they use and the fact that it is gluten free.
Pros: Cupcakes are yummy, Cake pop was yummy, Gluten free vegan (check which one)
Cons: Expensive

awsome sweets - Edit
I stumbled across this bakery while searching for a vegan restaurant to eat. I bought about 5 different cupcakes for me and my wife to taste from. They were all so good that we decided to come back and order my son a birthday cake a few weeks later. the cake was beautiful and everyone enjoyed the cake very much. Which is something to say since everyone else in my family and in laws are meat eaters
Read morePros: friendly service, knowledgeable about diet restrictions, healthy for you sweets
Cons: some of the decorative fondant isn't vegan
