If I could give 0 stars I would.Me and my husband contacted this so called “business” 11 days prior to our 1 year wedding anniversary. She answered us telling us she’d send the invoice over if the price of the cake was good for us. We immediately answered yes.She proceeded to completely ghost us for a week while we were trying to contact her via email and phone calls (which went directly into voicemail). We assumed she just forgot to send the invoice.She finally answered TWO days before our anniversary saying “so sorry I was on a quick getaway” and said she’s send the invoice over later that day. We received nothing.The day before our anniversary she decides to email us saying she has car trouble and won’t make it home to make our cake. We are now left without an anniversary cake.You could have just said to us “sorry I am on vacation and won’t be able to bake your cake anymore” instead of ghosting us.Very rude, unprofessional and disappointing.

Hard to get in contact with Katie and she cancelled the night before leaving us without a cake. I couldn’t even imagine if this happened to someone for their wedding. Would look somewhere else for a cake next time.

I could not have dreamed of a more beautiful wedding cake for our wedding on 4.22.23. Katie was a pleasure to work with and not only did the cake look beautiful but tasted amazing.

She messed up the date for our cake tasting, so we couldn’t trust her to commit to a date for our wedding cake.

We went with Katie for our wedding day cake and cannot recommend her more! We had an amazing tasting and had so many good options to choose from. Regardless of what we chose we knew it was going to be amazing. Katie was so responsive throughout the whole wedding planning process and really made us feel like she was a perfect fit! The cake was soo delicious on the day of the wedding, and we received so many compliments on it. Thanks again Katie!!

Kakes by Katie was contracted to provide the cake for our wedding several evenings ago. Katie brought our vision to life; the cake was beautifully-crafted, and tasted **amazing**. My wife, myself, and all of our guests enjoyed the two flavor options that we had, and we look forward to unwrapping our top layer (which we preserved) on our one-year anniversary. It is our pleasure to offer our endorsement of Kakes by Katie, and strongly suggest using them for your event!

The most delicious cake! It was also extremely beautiful but wow I did not expect it to taste so good! We highly recommend the almond cake with raspberry mousse you won’t be disappointed! My expectations were high and still far exceeded. Thank you for making my day so beautiful!

I am so glad I went with Katie!!! My cake was delicious and looked so beautiful. She also did cupcakes for our Rehearsal dinner that turned out amazing. The almond flour amaretto is to die for.

Cake was delicious. I am honestly surprised by all of the low ratings. We used her business for our wedding last summer. She said was quick to respond. The cake tasting took place at her house and she had a lot of flavors to choose from. We ordered a three tier cake with each tier being a different flavor (red velvet, chocolate, and lemon almond). She had drawn on an order form exactly what we described. She has a bunch of photos and books with design ideas on case you don't know what way to go. She made our cake exactly as envisioned. She hand drivers the cake and adds on flowers or cake toppers at the location. All of our guests loved the cake. We had 85 guests and ended up with Barely any leftovers.

We are so happy we hired Katie to bake our daughter’s sweet 16 birthday cake. The cake was not only delicious, it was extremely beautiful. Katie did an incredible job! We highly recommend Kakes by Katie!

My husband and I did cupcakes and a small 1 tier cake for our wedding through Kakes by Katie almost 9 years ago. My guests STILL 9 years later talk about how incredible those cupcakes were. We did 3 flavors for the cupcakes, including pumpkin, which my husband (who absolutely hates pumpkin usually) thoroughly enjoyed. I can’t recommend Kakes by Katie enough, and I tell everyone in this area to go to Katie. Our tasting session was lovely and personalized. She was patient with us while we made our decision, and it was barely a thought on my wedding day because they were delivered exactly when they needed to be. If you’re looking for the best place for delicious cakes, this is it.

The wedding cake Katie made us was beautiful and delicious! Katie even helped with a last minute surprise groom cake. Our guests raved about the cake and how delicious it was. The cake was moist the buttercream was delightful. My only regret is not getting an even bigger cake. Our guests took every extra piece home because they loved it so much! Highly recommend kakes by Katie! Prepare for your guests to devour every crumb!

How does this woman only have 2 stars? She made the absolute BEST wedding cake for me- so much so that the staff was asking who made it bc it was so fresh and AMAZING! (We provided them with extra pieces. The topper came with instructions and was delicious a year later. After the wedding cake Katie did every one of my birthday cakes until I moved away. I did tastings with these other people. They aren't bad, but y'all- Katie stands on a WHOLE different level. If I can figure out how to add my pics I will. She's even done 3 birthdays in one cake. Ie: a golf course with jag paw prints separated by a race track with a race car and the bottom was my favorite- daisies. Someone needs to write more reviews. This should be number 1

She waited till 2 weeks before our wedding and advised could not make our wedding cake or grooms cake - Why oh Why would you not advise at the very beginning? Also, not very responsive. I searched and searched for the email she allegedly stated she sent; however, no evidence and the reason why is we never gave her one. So disappointed - JUST TELL THE CLIENT IN THE BEGINNING IF YOU DON’T WANT TO DO IT!
