About Dana Point
Dana Point is a picturesque harbor town perched along the bluffs of South Orange County, named after the author Richard Henry Dana Jr. who described the area in his classic book Two Years Before the Mast. Dana Point Harbor is the centerpiece of the community, offering whale watching excursions, sportfishing charters, sailing, and waterfront dining with views of the Pacific. Doheny State Beach, one of the most popular surf and camping beaches in California, sits at the harbor's southern edge. Salt Creek Beach draws surfers and sunbathers to its wide sandy shore beneath the bluffs of Monarch Beach and the iconic Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel resort. The Headlands Conservation Area preserves dramatic coastal bluffs with walking trails and interpretive exhibits about the region's marine life. The revitalized Lantern District along Del Prado Avenue has become Dana Point's social hub, with locally owned restaurants, craft cocktail bars, and boutique shops bringing a walkable village energy to the town center. Dana Wharf, built on a historic pier, remains a beloved landmark for fishing, dining, and watching the sunset over the harbor.

Auntie Lu's Bakery delivers to all of Dana Point from our San Diego kitchen, including Dana Point Harbor, Monarch Beach, the Lantern District, Capistrano Beach, and venues near Doheny State Beach and Salt Creek Beach. Dana Point is approximately 60 miles from San Diego, making it one of the closer South Orange County cities on our OC delivery route. Orders should be placed at least 7 days in advance, and a delivery surcharge applies. For wedding cakes at the Ritz-Carlton or other Monarch Beach venues, we coordinate delivery and setup directly with the event team.
“Auntie Lu made our wedding cake for our reception at the Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel and it was nothing short of spectacular. A four-tier buttercream cake with cascading sugar flowers that matched our ocean bluff setting perfectly. The flavors were as beautiful as the design. Our wedding planner said it was the best vendor experience of the entire event.”— Amanda & Chris W., Dana Point
Frequently Asked
How do you handle wedding cake delivery to the Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel in Dana Point?
We have delivered wedding cakes to the Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel and other Monarch Beach venues and are familiar with their receiving and setup procedures. For wedding cakes, we personally transport the cake in our climate-controlled vehicle from San Diego and handle all on-site assembly, stacking, and decoration. We coordinate with the venue's banquet team in advance to confirm delivery windows and setup locations. Because Dana Point is outside San Diego, we recommend placing your wedding cake order at least 4 weeks in advance. A delivery and setup fee applies, and we are happy to do a tasting consultation either in San Diego or via shipped samples.
