Karen's Bakery Fresh Pastry Preparation In Folsom, CA

Fresh each day

We base our bakery items on European baking traditions, while putting seasonal, forward-thinking spins on things to create our own unique goods. While you will find bakery items based in tradition, you will also find items that put an updated spin on those traditions.

Often our greatest works come from collaborations between client and kitchen. We enjoy out-of-the-box ideas and relish the opportunity to develop our skills and creativity.

We bake fresh each day and night to make sure our cake and pastry cases are filled and ready each morning. You will always find lots of items ready to go at a moment's notice. If you'd like to call ahead, we can pack a box for you in advance.

We are always glad to take orders in advance. Specific, custom, or special orders should be placed in advance. We appreciate a minimum of 5-7 days' notice. Larger and custom orders take more lead time, so please plan accordingly.

Information about our cakes

  • Our house designed cakes are just that, cakes that we have designed to sell here at the bakery, or through this website. All of our cakes are handmade, therefore it is possible they may show slight variations from the website images. If there is a decorating detail that you see as extremely important, please bring that to our attention so that we can meet your hopes with our focus.
  • Our cakes are created through a thoughtful and methodical process of testing, tweaking, and adjusting. We are looking for flavors and textures that we find cohesive and make us proud, with the ultimate goal to make a cake that you will fully enjoy. However, tastebuds are subjective. If a cake does not meet your expectations, please bring it back to us and allow us to consider what might have gone wrong. If it does not meet our standards for freshness or flavor quality, we will gladly give you a store credit. If we find that the cake is in keeping with our expectations, no credit or refund will be issued.
  • We make many additional cake flavors and larger sizes than you will see on this website, as well as custom cakes, but they require a telephone or in-person conversation, as there are many details that we will need to know.

  • When you come in to pick up your cake, you will be given specific instructions on the care of your cake. Most cakes are best eaten at room temperature….the flavors open up and the textures soften. Cakes can take 2-5 hours to come to room temp, depending on the size and flavor of your cake, please plan your pick up time accordingly. If you are unsure, please call us to ask about a particular cake.
  • All online orders are to be picked up in-person. Cakes cannot be shipped, nor do we offer delivery through the website. If you are looking to have a cake delivered, please reach out to the shop before you order to see if that is an available option. If it is possible, expect an applicable delivery fee based on mileage, date, and time of day.
