Cakemakers Etc

Dan the Cakeman is the absolute sweetest and best baker! We got married in September and he made our amazing wedding cake (2 layers-red velvet cake with cream cheese icing and chocolate cake with chocolate icing all covered in buttercream icing), 3 different types of cookies (chocolate chip, sugar and macadamia nut) and cupcakes (wedding cake with vanilla buttercream icing) and they were all so good! Our guests have since talked about our desserts and how good they were! We didn't have much left, everyone loved all the options! Dan was so easy to work with and he was able to bring my vision to life. We wanted two things out of our desserts, to look pretty and taste amazing and he did just that! He has our business for life!

Unfortunately we did not get to try Dans cake. When we initially reached out for a wedding cake quote and Dan called us in no time. He talked us through the process in deciding flavor and size, and we agreed on the perfect cake. It sounded even better than we’d hoped and the price was unbeatable! We were smitten by Dans character, and were so excited for our wedding cake. Unfortunately our wedding was canceled last minute due to my father’s death and so we reached out to see if we could get a refund. He wasn’t able to provide one, which is perfectly fair, so we asked if it could be donated, perhaps to the children’s hospital. Dan recommended instead donating cupcakes to Ronald McDonald House for thanksgiving. While we may not get to try one of Dans fabulous cakes, we were so grateful to have worked with him. I would take my business to Dan any time and highly recommend you do too. Thanks Dan!

Dan created a gorgeous wedding cake for my client's wedding! He is such a joy to work with too. He nails it with that classic, wedding almond flavor.

Dan The Cake Man is the best. His cakes are his babies and it shows in taste and looks when you are passionate.

Bad food, worse service. I can't speak to the quality of the cakes, but avoid their catering at all costs.

Worst customer interaction I have ever seen. Is this the way you speak to your customers when they politely asking you for something.. hung up all of a sidden..what.. 10 secs is that your patience limit?
