Did a cake tasting several months back and the cake samples at the tasting were moist and better than the wedding cake itself. Sad to see that the couple didn’t get the exact quality that we had at the tasting, as the cake was dry, crumbly and dense. The only good things were that the cake visually looked nice and flavors were there.

I’ve used Kristen for the last 3 of my cake needs and will be using her for a fourth in the next month and for all any future cake needs. I have never came across someone so talented before . She has made every cake I have requested look absolutely amazing and taste amazing! I look forward to getting our cakes from Kristen because I know hands down how absolutely amazing they are going to be . Here is a picture of the cake Kristen just made for my daughter’s 4th birthday party and everyone at our party was raving over this cake !! Thank you Kristen and purple tulip cakery for making my daughter’s birthday an absolutely amazing experience! Can’t wait to see how great the next cake comes out !!!

We've now had 2 cakes and cupcakes from Purple Tulip, and they are by far some of the best cakes I've ever had. Cookies and cream, funfetti, chocolate, and almond with strawberry have all been stellar. She can make any design you show her! My sons 1st birthday cake was amazing and she has our loyalty forever now!

Kristen and her shop are amazing! The cake was not only a masterpiece outside, it was delicious inside. We will be ordering again and again from this shop.

The absolute best! Kristen has made three cakes for me over the years, and I am consistently blown away by her creations! Her cakes were absolutely beautiful, and taste just as amazing as they look. A true artist!

I got a cake for a friend's birthday. It was a quarantine birthday so I knew she wasn't going to have a party or anything so I wanted her to have a nice cake. Most of these cakes were so big (which would make sense as they are usually for parties) but she worked with me and gave me the smallest cake and personalized it. I requested small details like an eiffel tower and a champagne bottle and requested that it was pink and she made magic. The cake was moist and the frosting was delicious. Everything on the cake was edible except the flowers. It was really beautiful and my friend seemed super excited and happy ?. She also said how good the cake tasted. I would love to order from her again, she did a beautiful job.

I found Kristen thru a mommy group I am in because my prior cake person cancelled on me 48 hours prior to my sons 1st birthday for a fondant cake! Talk about a panic! She immediately got back to me & said she would help me! I was so thankful! AND THE BEST PART - they delivered it and set it up for me (huge help). Not only was the cake SO adorable and exceeded my expectations but it tasted so good (very moist)!

Kristen did our wedding cake. Not only did she recreate the cake of my dreams, down to every finite detail, the cake was also the most delicious cake I have ever eaten!

Kristen is a dream to work with and her cakes are not only beautiful but also delicious. She has made several cakes for me and each one has been exceptional! Can’t wait for my sister’s wedding to see the cake that you will design.

Kristen’s cakes are not only works of art - she can do anything. But they are super delicious and moist. So many options and everyone raves. She is pure joy to work with and a master baker and artisan. I can’t rave about her cakes enough.

Kristen's cakes are true works of art. Each cake is more beautiful than the one before--she can create anything your heart desires. And the cakes are delicious. I'm a big fan of the banana cake with salted caramel buttercream. I've ordered several cakes from Kristen and have never been anything but pleased. I will definitely be getting my next wedding cake from the Purple Tulip!
