Ashley Cakes

adorable and fun, and their cakes taste & look insanely good! You will not regret using them!!

it turned out better then we could have imagined.

on: her cakes are beautiful AND delicious. It was so fun planning out our cake in her adorable cake cottage. At the meeting we got to sample different flavors (all fabulous!) while she sketched out our cake design. She also talked us through different cake design options, and we were able to get her professional opinion on our ideas. When we left the meeting, we had a fully rendered picture of what our cake would look like; super reassuring that our design would be exactly what we wanted on our wedding day. She was also very flexible when we had to make major design changes to our cake because of pandemic related reception/location changes . She was so sweet in making our revisions and even got us an updated sketch of our cake. Ashely made the hardest part of the cake vendor experience choosing our flavors! If she is available for your date, snag a spot quickly!

ision and brought it to life in a way we did not know was possible. The 3-tiered masterpiece they created was absolutely stunning and delicious! Guests were going back for seconds and thirds, and the groom’s mother even stole a piece from the groom’s father. We would highly recommend choosing Ashley Cakes for your wedding cake!

ver eaten.

itary discount. They went above and beyond by not only providing an anniversary cake (that I can't wait to taste again!) but Ashley even provided a sketch of our cake that will definitely go up in our house. We tried a number of other cake vendors and Ashley Cakes was definitely the best!

ing about wedding planning was hectic and always changing, but Ashley was a dream to work with and made the wedding cake process a stress-free (& delicious) process! She also gives a sweet sketch of your wedding cake which is a lovely keepsake! 5 stars all around :)

anges which Ashley and Josh were super supportive, patient and understanding. The cake wasn’t only beautiful but the taste of each flavor was amazing. ❤️

asting box because my fiancée was working out of town while I was selecting vendors and he wanted to taste cakes when he got back, to changing our plans 3 times over the last 6 months due to Covid. We got married over the weekend with just our parents and Ashley created the most beautiful and delicious cake for our small 10 person gathering. Both our families commented on how moist and tasty the cake was – even after 3 days the left overs tasted unbelievably fresh. They have created life-long clients of my husband and I! We are so looking forward to our full wedding cake from Ashley Cakes next year for our rescheduled reception.

as beautiful and was so yummy!

was THAT good. My favorite part of working with Ashley is that she creates a digital design of your cake that you can frame and display. Just a cute little detail that you wouldn't get elsewhere!

I was out-of-state during the planning, and she happily set up a tasting for both my parents and for me. Ashley also helped us land on the idea of a "tuxedo cake", so that each slice had two different flavors for guest to try. Overall, I would absolutely recommend Ashley.

sign. Although our cake was traditional, Ashley made it elegant and fun. Ashley and her husband are incredibly nice and make a delicious dessert. We can’t wait to eat our anniversary cake next year!

her entrepreneurial spirit and went to visit the cake cottage where we met Ashley and her husband, toured her kitchen and tasted her most popular cake flavors. Her attention to detail is impressive! She did an outstanding job making our cake one of kind with a marble design and fresh flowers. She even facilitated a bespoke, handmade figurine of our mini-schnauzer to be placed on the cake stand. Highly recommend!

antly because she was so kind, professional and TALENTED. She literally sketched my wedding cake in front of my eyes in 10 minutes. It was a dream. Even more, she delivered and set up my cake perfectly. I never even saw her that day in all the chaos, but when I saw the cake, it was perfect. Not a detail was out of line. AND it was DELICIOUS! Something that beautiful also tasted amazing. It was the only food I ate that evening, and it was totally worth every single bite. I recommend Ashley to any Bride <3 you're lucky to have her!

ok the time to meet with us in person before our wedding to have a tasting and go over the design with us. The results were perfect- the cake looked exactly as we discussed and everyone kept talking about how delicious it was. I would recommend Ashley Cakes for all events- not just weddings!

s super professional and easy to work with. She also seemed to know many of the other vendors in the RDU area- my photographer, florist, and event planner all raved about her. All of her cakes use buttercream icing but she uses stencils to make all kinds of intricate designs. She created a six tiered cake for our wedding of ~240 people. Only have positive things to say about her!

and discuss my vision for the cake as well as flavor profiles. On the spot, Ashley drew my dream cake. Yes! That very day, I left with a sketch of my dream cake and a tasting box (a box with sample cake and icing flavors). The day of our event, set up went flawless. The first time I saw our cake, I was taken away by its beauty and sophistication. I am so glad I chose this company for my wedding day!

to make sure we got everything we wanted plus some. If you have a special design that you want them to create in a cake, you will definitely want to use Ashley Cakes as they simply are the best.

x)! We ended up picking 3 cake flavors, 2 cupcake flavors, and 2 mini pie flavors for our wedding day and have still been told how amazing all of it was. Ashley decorated everything perfectly and the grooms cake was perfect (and totally custom from the design to the flavor)...her husband is an artist so his designs are killer. Ashley also does a fresh anniversary cake, so no sticking our cake in the freezer for our 1st anniversary! Highly recommended!

with and it did not take long to know Ashley Cakes was our final stop! They helped us make the best decisions and the final product was outstanding! I would recommend Ashley Cakes to everyone!

hat I wanted and she literally was able to just start drawing a beautiful cake! It definitely turned out amazing! She also did our grooms cake which was a Braves baseball hat. Everyone was so impressed with all the detail put into the cake. I would definitely recommend working with Ashley!

ake and filling combinations. While we had a few sporadic ideas of what we wanted the cake to look like, they were very good of taking our original ideas and making them better and more creative. They also were very accommodating, including changes closer to the wedding date. The finished product was not only beautifully designed, but also very tasty! We received numerous compliments from guests about the flavor and the design. Would definitely recommend!

e cake by ourselves (Josh, my husband, and my mom just kinda sat and watched because it looked like Ashley and I knew what we were doing)! I also had discovered that Ashley likes Grumpy Cat (as do I!) and so we kept teasing my husband that we'd put Grumpy Cat stickers or something in the cake! :) We ended up with a 5-tier cake (2nd from the top was fake!) with sparkly frosting, flowers, pearls, sparkly ribbon, sugar flowers, and a belt detail to mimic the belt on my dress! The cake flavors we got for the tasting were all so delicious! It was kinda hard to choose! We ended up going with almond cake with amaretto filling for the bottom and middle layers and a pumpkin spice cake with cinnamon cream cheese filling for the layer in between! It was delicious, and our guests were all raving about how good the cake was! I personally was glad that I got to take the leftovers home! :) Ashley also made the top layer a chocolate cake with a chocolate mousse filling just for me, and I really enjoyed it!! :) One of my favorite things about the cake was the surprise Ashley left for me on the cake! On the back of our cake, Ashley had made a frosting replica of my family's cat (which is grey) and added a sparkly pink bow with bling! Ashley worked on this surprise with my mom and brother, and later I was told that originally she was planning on putting a generic cat, and then noticed on Instagram (since we follow each other!) that this particular gray cat kept coming up on my insta, so my mom told Ashley how I had joked about walking our kitty down the aisle in a sparkly harness! I so loved the little replica of our kitty!! That surprise was one of my favorite details from the entire day!! :) Ashley and Josh made the most delicious and beautiful cake I've ever had! I am so glad I got to work with them, and they are so sweet on top of their awesome talent! I am definitely planning on finding another reason/excuse to work with Ashley again and get another cake! :D Thank you so much Ashley and Josh, we had so much fun working with you and hope to stay in touch!! :)

the cake. We had some cupcakes leftover, so we froze them. They were still yummy 2 weeks later. Thanks, Ashley.

olutely beautiful cake! We had a fall wedding, and the pumpkin spice flavor was amazing and so fitting for the time of year. :) The banana pudding and almond with buttercream layers were just as delicious! I know there are lots of options out there for wedding cakes, but if you're unsure who to go with, I encourage you to at least go meet with Ashley and Josh - they are absolutely wonderful; I can assure you you will not be disappointed. They were so attentive and provided wonderful ideas. They are true artists! We couldn't have been happier with our wedding cake from Ashley Cakes - we are still talking about it :) Thank you SO much Ashley and Josh!!

g a perfect wedding cake for us. Ashley and her husband, Josh, were SO pleasant to work with. We received rave reviews from our wedding guests! Highly recommend Ashley Cakes!

eir office as she helped my ideas come to life and sketched my wedding cake. We then ate the entire sample box in the parking lot because we just couldn't wait any longer it was all so good. She made the entire process so enjoyable and one to remember. Not to mention, people are still raving about how good the cake was. You can't go wrong with having Ashley as one of your Vendors.

o Ashley for the amazing cake!

ything went flawless day of, and when I had a million other things on my mind, I didn't have to worry about the cake. It was there on time and set up! It was perfect!

working with a local small business rather than a big chain, because they were so personal and sweet and their cake was INCREDIBLE! My husband and I didn't have any time to sit down at our wedding, of course, so the only taste of our cake we got was when we cut it. Luckily, there were some cupcakes left afterwards, and we have been going hard on those! They are so delicious! We didn't get to see Ashley the day of the wedding when she delivered the cake, but she assembled the display and cake topper perfectly and there was nothing for me to worry about. Such a relief. I would recommend Ashley Cakes to all my friends, and I hope to work with them again someday :)

not disappoint. I highly recommend them!

ents. From beginning to end, they work with your schedule and budget. Most beautiful cake I have ever seen.....and tasted.

she did three for our wedding cake! It was beautiful (we wanted a rustic, textured buttercream, and it was perfect) and tasted great. My husband requested a "pig pickin cake" to go with our theme (we had an outdoor wedding with barbeque from The Pit and a bluegrass band) and she happily agreed, even though she'd never made one before. She incorporated Carolina blue (my husband's request) with adorable decorations on the cake and a really cute banner as a topper. I can't wait to get our anniversary cake next May - she throws that in for free, so you don't have to worry about saving a cake for a year!

the cake. You will not be disappointed.

to work with and I now consider them friends! Ashley and Josh did my husbands grooms cake and our wedding cake/cupcakes. I thought asking for a cake of a hot sauce bottle was going to be too much but these two did it and did it perfectly! It was as if they enlarged a bottle of cholula hot sauce and stuck it on the cake! My husband was so surprised and LOVED it. Now onto our wedding cake.... Gorgeous, beautiful, delicious!! These were just some of the words our guests used about our cake and cupcakes! The flavors were delicious and the details they put on the cake and every single cupcake were just amazing. I could go on and on about these two, but in the end it would all just mean the same. You would be silly to not pick these two for your cake. Ashley and Josh; thank you for everything you did for us! We love you and cannot wait to recommend you to anyone that God brings to us along the way!!

asting the most delicious cake we had ever had, our decision was made. Ashley Cakes was the first cake vendor we met with, and we didn't need to meet with anyone else. They are quick to respond, very creative, and great at bringing ideas to life. I also worked with Ashley and Josh to create a record player Groom's Cake for my husband at our rehearsal dinner, and I could not believe my eyes! Ashley and Josh created a masterpiece that everyone thought was a real record player at first glance. Ashley and Josh make delicious and beautiful cakes, and are just wonderful people!

t cake right in front of our eyes! Our cake was not only gorgeous, it was incredibly delicious! I personally loved the carrot cake ;) Ashley Cakes is the best in this entire area and I would recommend them to anyone! - The Folks :)

. However that did not affect the quality of the cake or the presentation. The butter cream frosting was to die for! And I love how they took our desire for strawberry and chocolate and turned it into a delightfully moist Neopolitan! And the flowers decorating the cake were absolutely beautiful. There are no complaints here. It was even reasonably priced!!

! If you can get beyond them being adorable, sweet, helpful and easy to talk with, you will have a difficult time choosing a flavor- they're all good!! She was able to make the exact replica of the cake my daughter had chosen and then, because our guest list was pretty large, they made additional sheet cakes that could be cut and served promptly after the cake cutting. We heard raves about the cake which was a vanilla with a light strawberry mousse filling and a hint of almond. The icing was perfect and not too sweet. The style was "Dotted Swiss" with a ribbon and two beautiful peony (sugar) flowers that everyone thought were real! One of our best choices four a wonderful wedding!!

day. Ashley took the time to talk with me to find out what I envisioned and helped us design a cupcake display that was not only beautiful but delicious! Everyone loved the surprise filling inside each cupcake!

ome trying all the different combinations she suggested. The cake was moist and the icing flavors were terrific from mint chocolate chip (my husband's favorite) to strawberry cream cheese and lemon. One of my biggest complaints about weddings is that the cake is dry and the fondant is not tasty, so I requested no fondant, and you would never be able to tell we didn't use fondant! The cake was SO moist and we got several compliments on how delicious the cake was. Several of my friends are getting married in the next few weeks and they are using Ashley Cakes as well and I am so excited to get to eat more of it! Not to mention, the complimentary anniversary cake topper you get a year from now, because who really wants to eat year-old frozen cake. Ashley Cakes is great!
