I planned my daughter’s 8th birthday party at a remote location an hour away from home. Between packing gifts, food, decorations, and balloons, the last thing I wanted to worry about was transporting a birthday cake that could easily tip over or get ruined.

That’s where Deborah’s Specialty Cakes came to the rescue.

I told them I wanted a pink Roblox cake for my daughter, and not only did they craft the most gorgeous and delicious cake, but they also went above and beyond to make sure it arrived safely. Although they are normally closed on Sundays, this sweet company saw a momma in need, and made it happen. They hand-delivered the cake directly to the party location!

I can’t say enough good things about the quality, care, and kindness shown by this business. It’s no wonder they’ve been going strong for over 30 years. Thank you, Deborah’s, for making my daughter’s day truly unforgettable. We are forever fans!

We love Deborah’s Specialty Cakes! I have Celiac and feel safe eating their gluten free cake…it’s made with care and tastes remarkable! Try the “Black Velvet” frosting, it is divine and makes for a super cool “galaxy” cake!

This cake was so delicious!!! I ordered a heart shaped red velvet cake with Italian buttercream icing and filing! My friend got a divorce and I wanted to celebrate an end of an error lol for him! My first time ordering from Deborah’s Specialty cakes and it WILL NOT be my last!! Also, this cake was vegan and it was so moist!!! They created my order exactly how I wanted with a few extra touches to tie it all together! They displayed wonderful customer service from booking and picking up the cake! Affordable prices and local is a plus for me! I can’t wait to order again from them! Google needs to add 6 stars option!!

The cake was absolutely perfect on the outside-I could not have asked for it to look any more spectacular! It was a bit dry and did not taste “right” to me. Only a couple of people at my graduation luncheon ate their cake, so I know it was not just me! We ended up throwing the rest in the trash-which never happens with cake at my house! I felt like I was throwing $$$ away, as the cake was not cheap. I had read all the great reviews and thought it would be delicious. I was disappointed.

Absolutely incredible!!! This is the first cake I have ordered/picked up from Deborah’s Specialty Cakes and they are the ONLY bakery I will buy from moving forward. I am blown away by the cake they made- it’s even better than the reference photo I sent (see the pictures for the expert piping work and attention to detail)! Gorgeous and delicious! Like their baked goods, their customer service is impeccable. The DSC team is friendly, helpful, and quick to respond. Such a fantastic local business!

Wonderful place to get your specialty cakes/desserts. Conveniently local and great customer service! They have lots of options for cakes/desserts, including loads of dairy free options. We will definitely be using them for future events.

I had my wedding cake done with Deborah’s Specialty Cakes last year. I have food allergies (soy, gluten, peanut, tree nut, and barley) in my family and they worked with me to make a delicious, beautiful, allergy-friendly cake! This small business is so lovely and goes above and beyond. They even put the extra flowers that didn’t fit on the cake in a mason jar. I can’t say enough about them. I’m ordering a small version of our cake for our first wedding anniversary! :)

We got vegan cupcakes for our rehearsal dinner and our vegan wedding cake from here and it was incredible! They were very upfront and honest about their prices and options. There were very unique flavor options that we weren’t expecting and got a sample box and ended up getting the Graham cracker cookie icing and the lemon curd filling and we couldn’t stop thinking about days after our wedding! Would highly recommend and look forward to going back for our anniversary.

The cakes Deborah made for my twins' 3rd birthday party were absolutely perfect! It was one of the few places I could find that would do eggless cake (my twins are allergic) and the cakes were still so delicious even without the use of eggs. Everyone at the party asked where we had the cakes made because they were so well decorated and delicious! Highly recommend.
