Laurie was so kind to work with me to make a gender reveal cake for me and my husband. We got our wedding cake from her about 2 years ago and she used the same frosting + cake recipe, which was so special (which is why the outside is pink - raspberry frosting by request!). She was so easy to work with and made this experience so special for us. Highly recommend for any dessert need, but especially special occasions!!!!

Lori is fantastic! You can't go wrong with any thing she makes- savory or sweet! She is very accommodating when it comes to flavors/designs. Great prices for quantity of what you order. She does wedding cake tastings in house that never disappoint. Give her a call!! You'll be glad you did

She made beautiful mini pies for our wedding!!! Fabulous and adorable in five flavors: chocolate silk, coconut cream, berry crumble, strawberry rhubarb, and cherry! She delivered and arranged them for free. Her pricing is beyond reasonable! We couldn't be happier with her and the pies were such a hit with all our guests:)

What a find! Just had Lori make a fabulous chocolate truffle birthday cake for me and also the most incredible fresh fruit tart for those not big on chocolate. I can't say enough about the quality of her creations and her customer service! I will definitely be purchasing more from her in the future!

After calling other bakeries for my destination wedding, I was able to find Louri. She was the most nicest, sweetest, and helpful person I have ever met. She was able to make my dream came into a reality. I loved my cake and all who I invited loved the cake. Her cake was very affordable and she even delivered which was what I needed. I would recommend this place 110%.

If this is the place I am thinking it is then they make the absolute best coffee cake for the White Raven in Felton on this earth. Your coffee cake is insane! So epically perfect beyond words.

We ordered desserts from Lori for our Roaring Camp wedding in November 2021, and everything was amazing! We chose a small two-tier cutting cake, as well as mini cupcakes, eclairs, mini pies, and brownies. The cake flavor we chose was orange, which was THE BEST cake I've ever had. Sadly we left the very next morning for our honeymoon, and I wasn't able to save some for our return, but I brought a big chunk of it with me on the way to the airport and just sat there in the car eating cake for breakfast - refusing to let it go. We'll have to order a small one someday soon! Lori was super sweet to work with, and set everything up beautifully with the dessert trays I'd bought. She was also very reasonably priced, which we appreciate living in the Bay Area. (And came highly recommended by the Roaring Camp staff!) Please do not hesitate to schedule a tasting with her for your wedding.

A co-worker recommended Dessert First for our wedding sweets and I'm so happy I followed her recommendation. Not only was Lori great to work with every step of the way (she's so nice!) but the desserts were delicious (and pretty!) and the cost was really reasonable. Highly recommend!

She was such a lovely person to work with for our wedding cake! Not only did she deliver a cake that she had never done before... It came out beautiful... And to feed about 100.... The cake was only charged at 245!!!!!!! ( We tipped big time).... She also put together beautiful tasting cupcakes for my husband and I before... On VERY SHORT notice. She delivered to the venue for no charge ( we were in Santa Cruz though) All of our guests LOVED the lemon and raspberry layers we picked. Amazing, Buttercream done perfectly...

Dessert first is the best. Love all of their baked goods. Just ordered holiday pies and pumpkin cheesecake!

Lori is a great baker and very professional, I am so grateful for her making our wedding cake. Lori sent me her cell # on Yelp and we began texting about my wedding cake. I picked up a tasting box from the cafe she works out of and after trying all the delicious samples in the box, I texted her our final wedding day selection and some inspiration pictures of how I wanted it decorated. She was always great with communication, the price was beyond reasonable and everyone raved about the yummy and beautifully decorated cake! Thank you Lori!

Lori did a fantastic job with our wedding cake! Everyone said it was one of the best cakes they'd ever tasted -- a lemon elderflower cake, with lemon curd filling and buttercream frosting. She reached out to ensure the design was exactly the way we wanted it, and she incorporated our wedding flowers so beautifully. Lori was such a pleasure to work with - clearly a very kind soul and it meant so much to have our wedding cake made by her.

I looked all around for a place that makes banana cream pies sans coconut cream pies and they are few and far between. Finally found Laurie. I ordered both for my mom's birthday and they were absolutely delicious! My mom was so happy! And I'm glad to be supporting a small, local business in my town of Boulder Creek. I'm looking forward to ordering many more desserts from Dessert First. Oh, and it was reasonably priced.

We stopped here for some morning treats during a recent stay at a local AirBNB. This place has lots of small-town goodness. An older gentleman came in and the staff recognized him and chatted with him, and I just love the charm it lent to this bakery experience. We settled on a delicious slice of chocolate chip bread and a cinnamon roll. The bread was really thick, heavy like a pound cake, and studded with chocolate chips. What was not to love? The cinnamon roll had crunchy edges, but someone has to eat the rolls that line the outside of the pan. After that outer layer, there was so much cinnamon goodness, and it was thick and plentiful. The roll itself was the perfect blend of chewiness and dough, not too bread-like at all. The cream cheese frosting was generous and delicious. All in all, I'd come back in a heartbeat for more treats! They do have an ATM in case you need cash. Street parking was easy to find.
