We Knead the Dough made the perfect cake for our celebration! The vanilla cake with chocolate mousse filling was absolutely delicious, and the fruit-filled layers were just as amazing—fresh, light, and flavorful. It truly was the icing on a great evening spent celebrating wonderful people. Beautifully made, and just as tasty as it looked. Highly recommend!

Cake for a 50th anniversary celebration. Communication leading up to the event was seamless and the cake was exactly how we had asked. It was stunning and made the evening very special for my parents. We did a two tier — one of chocolate mousse and one of fruit mousse. Both flavors were delicious. Cake was moist and flavorful. We will definitely be back for the next celebration! Thank you Lori and We Knead the Dough.

The cake looked beautiful, but the taste was just okay… nothing special, kind of like a store-bought cake. The biggest issue for me was the communication. I spoke with Lori on the phone and told her I was between two cake options. I picked one, and during that same conversation, I clearly told her I wanted “Happy Birthday [my name]” written on the cake. She asked me to text her my name too, which I did. So it wasn’t just assumed.. it was discussed directly.
On the day of pickup, I called her multiple times to confirm the address and to ask if the cake was ready. I had people coming over and was in a rush, so everything needed to be smooth. When I arrived, the cake had no writing on it. I told her, and while she did offer a last-minute solution, it was rushed and stressful …not something you want to deal with right before your guests arrive.
What frustrated me even more is that days later, I kept getting automated messages asking me to leave a review and my name was WRONG in those messages. That’s the same name I had texted her myself. When I asked why she had me send it in the first place, she said it was just to know who she was speaking to, which doesn’t really make sense if it wasn’t even used correctly on the cake or in the system.
Also, in the photo of the cake I chose, there were several gold candles. Over the phone, she said she would include them, so I didn’t bother getting any. But when I picked up the cake, she only gave me one candle. After I asked, she came back and gave me two more so three in total, still not what was shown. So i had to go to different stores to find long gold candles which I would order days in advance if she didn’t tell me that she would provide them.
For $130, the cake(small) tasted average, and the whole experience felt more stressful than it needed to be. Definitely expected better.
Everything was amazing! The cake was one of the most delicious cakes we have ever ordered! Everyone raved about the detail of of the cake! We will absolutely be ordering from you guys again!
Lori from We Knead the Dough made the most wonderful pink champagne cake with white butter cream and fresh raspberries for a bridal shower I hosted this past weekend.
Lori was very easy to work with and created a cake to go with our Italian Amalfi theme.
The cake was tastefully decorated. It was moist, and was soft and light in texture.
The cake layers and buttercream had just the right amount of sweetness.
I have gotten numerous compliments on the cake since my event.
Lori will make all of my special occasion cakes. I don’t feel any need to go anywhere else.
I ordered a custom 2-tiered vanilla cake with lemon Bavarian cream filling and buttercream frosting, decorated with strawberries and herbs, for a bridal shower. The cake looked and tasted amazing, and everyone commented on how light and delicious the cake tasted. Laurie was very helpful and great to work with.
It was really nice experience. I ordered cake for old lady’s birthday. However, I was worried about my order because of too short notice. But she made perfect and wonderful cake for me. Everyone really satisfied it. Her decoration and chiffon were the best!
The cake was amazing and tasted great too!!
I had the most beautiful & delicious bridal shower cake! I am still in awe of how perfect it was!
We had such a great experience working with Laurie! She brought our vision to life perfectly, and even added some thoughtful touches that made it extra special and we had so many people comment about how delicious the cake was!!! Highly recommend!

Lori and team created a beautiful cake for our daughter’s bridal shower! After showing her some pictures she got the colors and style just right!

Lori and her staff go above and beyond to make sure her customers are satisfied! I have ordered four cakes from them and will continue to in the future. The detail on the desserts are unmatched. Last month I totally forgot to place an order for an event and I reached out last minute, they made it happen! :) I cannot speak enough about We Knead the Dough!

Lori was wonderful to work with! She spent time going over options for my daughter in laws baby shower cake. We loved having a gluten free portion that was a beautiful addition to the larger cake. Already gave lots of shower guests your information and will definitely see you again!
