excellence bar none. 5 stars!

Ordered a last minute elopement cake and was amazed by how beautiful and delicious it was! Exactly what I was looking for

Authentic macarons and gluten-free options. Baked goods. Small business, and locatiom may be closed during wedding season, as she caters on-site for specialty events. Beautiful presentation as well as flavors.

Aurora blew my freaking socks off. I did not give this girl much to go off other than my color scheme and I told her just to create something amazing. She went out of her way to match the flowers with my florist and exceeded my expectations!! Just LOOK at the little gold details! She was kind and easy to work with and I would suggest her 1000%. The fondant wasn’t too rich in flavor, and the cake was perfectly made! We chose the raspberry lemon cake and I actually had my father-in-law vacuum seal it so it would taste just as good a year from now! Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️

Aurora makes delicious small batch cakes and they do not disappoint! I exclusively order through her for elopements. The cakes are always delicious, and my clients are blown away by the silky smoothness of the buttercream. And that it actually tastes good, not just looks good!

Wow. Got the 8” Tiny Dancer for my wife’s birthday and it was beyond delicious. True quality ingredients and fantastic execution to make an aesthetic and scrumptious cake. Thank you, this was the best cake since my wedding.

I never thought I would ever have a 'cake emergency' in my life....but it happened. After several calls, I was referred to this amazing bakery. The cake was divine, the service was spectacular, and I am so happy to have found this hidden treasure in the back of one of the cutest stores in Kalispell. This is my turn to now for all cake needs - not just emergencies.

I just scheduled my birthday cake order with Aurora (3rd year year now) and am so excited. Ephemera is my go to for all the wonderful treats. Aurora is kind and goes the extra mile every time I order.

Ephemera I debated leaving a review at all, but honest reviews help businesses grow. I would love to tell you how the cake tasted but it never showed up. Over three days, April 24, 25 and 26 I chatted about a cake for my mother’s surprise 80th birthday party. On April 26 we confirmed all the details of the cake and the date. Aurora also confirmed she would deliver the cake. I paid and tipped on this same date for a May 11 delivery. The venue had recommend the bakery and a local friend had said how amazing the bakery has been doing. On May 11 the cake was to be delivered at 1 PM for a 2 PM Party. 1 PM no cake. 2 PM I asked the front of house if they had received a cake at any point, no cake. At 2:30 PM I sent a business message saying I was checking on the cake. At 3 PM I clicked through profiles to find a cell phone number and sent a text message checking on the cake. A few minutes later I received a call from Aurora, which begin with her telling me it was her personal cell phone. At this point I am 2 hours into a surprise party, which honestly at 80, the fancy cake with the raspberry compote was a part I was really excited about, beyond the guests of course. She said she had the wrong date. She had it on the 18th. But she also said she was overwhelmed with the event she did with a local florist. So I’m not sure which it is because our messages clearly confirm May 11 as does the order that was paid with gratuity. I said it’s whatever. I can’t control it. I went back to the party and while visiting my mom joyfully says Bridget someone else is here! She thought it was a surprise friend she didn’t recognize. It was Aurora. She brought macarons she had on hand and flowers. She also clearly refunded my money. We did not like the macarons. My mom did keep the flowers. If this had been a wedding, this would have been a tragedy. If this had been a FIRST birthday instead of an 80th, it would have been horrible. I really hope we “took one for the team” here and she never has a scheduling issue of this magnitude again. I could have just gone to a grocer and had a cake. I chose to support a locally owned business and it failed. If you choose Ephemera just make sure and check schedules and confirm dates, I “hear” the cake is great.

Amazing quality! Customer service is top notch. Definitely recommend as a premier bakery to go to in the Flathead Valley!

Best flavors around, truly. So divine. No matter what season it is the macarons are beyond delicious. We got a custom birthday cake(s) as pictured below, and they were the hit of the party! Very professional and timely service and the shop is completely ethereal! A must!

Ephemera saved my celebration life! I was desperately looking for a number shaped cake for my husband’s birthday. I was searching online and even went into bakeries to see if anyone did them. I am so thankful I came across their Facebook page and saw it, a number cake! The flavor is absolutely delicious and the perfect amount of sweetness but not overwhelmingly sweet. My husband was so surprised on how amazing it turned out, same as me. Will definitely be trying other cakes/ desserts from Ephemera. This made a great first impression and not to mention, the service and quick response! Great work! ❤️ I will post cake in comments!
