Blue Thistle Cakery

We can not recommend blue thistle & heather enough!! We tried soo many other cakes in Kansas City and blue thistle was the absolute best. She was super easy to work with and accommodating. She made our vision come to life and we were so obsessed with how our wedding cake turned out. We also received so many compliments from guests about how beautiful the cake was and how delicious it tasted as well. She was one of the best vendors we had!

We tasted cakes from several KC wedding cake bakeries. Blue Thistle blew them all out of the water with the amazing, moist, flavorful flavors!! Not only the taste was excellent but Heather really took the design inspiration and nailed it - the cake was gorgeous, delicious, and fit into our wedding decor. I ended up liking it more than the inspiration picture! Honestly looking forward to our one-year anniversary so we can break into the blue thistle cake in the freezer!!!

Heather was by far the nicest vendor at my wedding. She was so friendly, professional, and easy to work with. I asked her to make a very difficult, sculptural dragon cake, with hundreds of scales, which she pulled off seamlessly. Even though it was a complicated and unusual cake, there were no surprise fees or upcharges. We asked Heather make multiple cakes due to some dietary restrictions, and she happily accommodated us. Upon our request, she made a cake with monk fruit sugar, a challenge which I'm sure required some extra work and experimentation in the kitchen. Again, there were no extra charges for this, although they certainly were warranted. The cakes were gorgeous, delicious, and very reasonably priced, given the care and artistry that went in to making them. I recommend Blue Thistle whole heartedly to everyone in the Kansas City area! Blue Thistle Cakery is a world class wedding cake bakery.

Heather is the cutest person ever! She was a joy to work with!! Not only are her cakes breathtaking to look at, but they taste fantastic!! Pretty sure I'll be continuously buying her cake tasting box just to eat the cake flavors again! It's soooo good! I will for sure be hiring her again for future cake needs. I'm so thankful we had a bunch of cake leftover, so we froze it and now we've got cake to eat for our birthdays and of course, our anniversary! We also ate some for an entire week after our day and it never dried out! Our cake was almost too pretty to cut!! I'm so glad I hired her!! Her detailing is just perfect! Our wedding day was also my sister's birthday, so she made a separate cake just for her which was incredibly special. Thank you so much Heather! Highly recommend!!

Heather was an absolute joy to work with!! I am so sad that my wedding is over, but so glad that our paths crossed during the wedding planning process. Everyone at our wedding had glowing reviews of our cakes!! We were absolutely thrilled with how everything turned out and did I mention that her cakes are absolutely delicious?! We had the peony, carnation, poppy, and cosmos. Thank you thank you Heather for the beautiful work that you do, you are truly a gem!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Heather, Blue Thistle Cakery for our wedding cake, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the extraordinary experience! From the very beginning, Heather impressed us with her creativity, fun-loving spirit, and genuine kindness. The process of selecting our cake flavors was an absolute delight, with Heather going above and beyond to provide a beautiful sampling experience that far exceeded our comparisons in both taste and presentation. Needless to say, each flavor was a taste sensation that left us (and our family and friends) wanting more. Our wedding theme, classic with a modern edge and a neutral palette, was perfectly embodied in the stunning 3-tier cake that Heather crafted for us. The use of rice paper and baby's breath florals showcased her incredible design skills, resulting in a truly unique and elegant masterpiece. What set Blue Thistle apart was Heather's collaborative approach and willingness to bring our vision to life. We ended up choosing four flavors – Red Velvet with whipped white chocolate Oreo buttercream, Dark Chocolate with whipped chocolate Reese's cup buttercream, Fresh Lemon Poppy Seed with honey ginger buttercream, and Tender Vanilla Butter with fresh strawberry compote and whipped white chocolate strawberry buttercream. Each flavor was a showstopper in its own right. Being someone with a family culinary heritage, the cake was a priority for me, and Heather exceeded all expectations. The attention to detail in both presentation and taste was outstanding, making our cake not just a dessert but a highlight of our celebration. Working with this vendor was one of the most enjoyable aspects of our wedding planning journey. Her passion for her craft, combined with her kindness and creativity, made the experience unforgettable. We got to have our cake and eat it too, thanks to Heather's expertise and dedication. If you're looking for a cake artist who goes above and beyond to make your wedding cake dreams a reality, look no further than Blue Thistle Cakery. We wholeheartedly recommend their exceptional services! Thank you, Heather and Blue Thistle Cakery, for making our special day even sweeter! Photos by brittynelizabethstudios.

I cannot recommend Heather and Blue Thistle enough. Best cake I have ever had and it’s not even close. If you order tastings, you’re going to want to book her for your date before the spot is taken!

We were so impressed with Blue Thistle and Heather from the very beginning! As soon as we were engaged, I set up a tasting and we were blown away. We truly enjoyed each of the cake samples and selected the Snowdrop and Poppy for our wedding. For an entire year, we talked about how excited we were to eat the cake again! We had quite a few no-shows to our reception and it didn’t occur to us to be upset— more cake for us, right? Heather was truly a gem to work with and was always available for my (many) questions and changes to our quote. Additionally, ALL of our vendors were so excited to hear we had booked her for our wedding. Each of them raved about her talent, professionalism, and personality, as well as the cake. We would book Heather again in a heartbeat (and you should too)!

I have attended many weddings in the Kansas City area. Blue Thistle makes the best wedding cakes! Not only are they beautifully designed but taste delicious. My favorite flavor is the toasted coconut! Her cake no matter the flavor is always enjoyed by all the wedding guests and they will be talking about long after your wedding.

I cannot recommend Heather and her cake enough! She came highly recommended by our photographer, who has been in the KC wedding industry for many years, after we had been struggling to find a good cake on our own. We got her tasting box and literally every flavor was AMAZING. Even my husband, who is not a big dessert person, fell in love with her cake! On top of her phenomenal desserts, Heather is also a lovely human and great communicator. She actively worked with us on the vision for our desserts, provided sound advice on ordering, and was a supportive voice in the midst of planning a wedding during COVID from another state. We ordered the Cosmos and the Peony with blackberries for our Halloween wedding and our guests still haven't stopped raving about how good it all was! There was hardly a crumb left by the end of the night even with the extra we ordered for our cake-crazy family. Heather was also super accommodating for our anniversary cake this year as we had opted not to save cake during the wedding, although she had wonderful resources on how to do that as well. She was very responsive and worked with our schedules so we could pick up our anniversary cake in time. I can confirm her cake is worth a road trip! You will not regret booking her for your event!

Blue thistle made my cake in the heat of Covid and made my dream cake a reality. The detail of each layer looked fake it was so beautiful, almost too beautiful to eat. But the inside of the cake is even better so moist and fresh not sure how she does it! Tastiest cake I have ever had. Anyone getting married this is a must have my guests continue to talk about how good the cake was at my wedding!

We were so happy with how our wedding cake turned out! We loved the whole process with Heather and can’t recommend her enough! The cake was not only beautiful, but delicious. Our guests still talk about it to this day! Heather was very professional and easy to work with. She came very highly recommended by our wedding planner who has been in the KC wedding industry for several years. We love Blue Thistle Cakery!

First off I want to say that Heather is absolutely INCREDIBLE! I am a wedding planner and was a bride myself this November. I was fortunate enough to book Heather for our wedding. Heather is so talented that I booked her back in the summer of 2021 for my fall 2022 wedding. She is truly remarkable in so many ways! Not only does she bake incredibly tasty, moist cake, she is talented beyond belief when it comes to creativity, design and execution! You dream it, she can make it happen! Heather is also one of the biggest hype girls you will ever meet! No matter what is going on in her life both personally and professionally, she manages to put clients above herself and ensure they are happy beyond belief! She is selfless and talented! I had a vision for my wedding! I send a multitude of photos, details and fabric swatches her way and she completely exceeded my vision with gold stars! She collaborated with me and dreamt up the perfect cake masterpiece! To the point, where I actually cried (happy tears of course) when I saw it on my wedding day! Every piece of cake that was cut, was gone instantly! Guests raved about it! Not only did Heather craft up my wedding cake, she has made cakes for many of my clients and every time, her communication, detailed sketches and cake itself are above expectations! I highly recommend hiring Blue Thistle for any event, or even if you just want to enjoy a tasty treat! She is a miracle worker!

I do not even know where to begin with Heather & Blue Thistle! Heather was referred to us by my brother & sister-in-law as she created their wedding cake in 2019. I already knew how delicious Blue Thistle cakes were from their wedding, but Heather is even more incredible! She was one of the first vendors we booked (grab her early because she books quick!)and is so prompt, organized, and super talented with her designs! She worked flawlessly with our florist to create a cascading floral design on our cake and it was even better than we had dreamed! I could not recommend Heather & Blue Thistle any more!!

One of the first vendors we booked for our wedding was Blue Thistle. We LOVED all of the flavors that we tasted. We ended up having Heather make two different cakes for our wedding. The cakes were beautiful, delicious, and exactly what we wanted.

Blue Thistle was recommended to my husband and I by our florist/coordinator and we are so thrilled that we listened to their advice and booked her! Neither of us are huge dessert/sweets people but Heather's peony cake changed all of that! It is the perfect amount of sweet and fresh thanks to the strawberries and the cake itself is the lightest, most moist cake we've ever had! Both of our families were so thrilled to have leftovers to enjoy after our big day! Outside of the amazing flavor, her cakes are just stunning. She took our inspiration photos and gave us several options, opinions, and design details that complemented not only our wedding aesthetic but our stunning venue. Highly recommend Blue Thistle!!!

Heather is an absolute DREAM to work with and her cakes are phenomenal; truly unmatched. She went above and beyond every step of the way. She met me to drop off the cake samples and we got to know one another right away. She was extremely responsive and communicative when we were having trouble making decisions. She is creative and helped us come up with what we wanted when we didn’t even really know ourselves! Last but not least, her cake is absolutely delicious. I’m not normally a cake person, but Blue Thistle will make you one!! We served the peony and the poppy and our guests could not stop raving. I had family members and friends reaching out to me weeks afterwards to see where our cake was from because it was still on their minds. You’ll just have to trust me on this one.. it’s THAT good. I recommend her every chance I get and I’ll continue to do so! ♥️

Oh. My. Gosh. We could not have chosen a better baker. Heather took my vision and absolutely ran with it. When I told her what I wanted for the groom's cake, she listened and did a PERFECT job. My husband loved it so much, and our bridal cake was just as gorgeous. We were so happy with our flavor choices (The Peony and the Daffodil), and honestly, we're already tempted to un-freeze our top tier!

Heather came highly recommended by my wedding coordinator so naturally I had to reach out. Heather was so accommodating from the moment my husband and I first reached out. She allowed us to sample so many different flavors and they were all so unique. Heather did an amazing job listening to my vision when it came to the wedding cake and grooms cake. We ended up choosing a lemon poppy seed cake, carrot cake with orange buttercream, and banana walnut cake with bourbon buttercream. Let’s just say, there wasn’t a slice left.

Wow. I KNEW I needed Blue Thistle Cakery in my life for our wedding day and I have ZERO regrets. So easy to work with and the most delicious out there. Dream cake!!!

Heather's cakes are to die for - seriously SO good! We wanted a very traditional white cake with buttercream frosting. Her Tulip cake is phenomenal! Seriously the best in town! She is so talented and our cake looked stunning under the lights in our venue. We can't wait to eat it again on our 1 year anniversary. We can not recommend Blue Thistle enough!

Heather was amazing to work with! Starting with the tasting box, we were amazed with how fantastic these cakes were! We booked for our October 2021 wedding during the height of COVID and Heather was so accommodating. She was always available by phone or email for questions and was able to send us sample custom designs even though we never got to meet in person. We knew we wanted to go with a unique flavor and Blue Thistle has plenty of amazing unique flavors to offer! We ended up going with a pumpkin cake and all of our guests are still talking about how delicious it was weeks later. Plus the cake was absolutely beautiful! If you are looking for an amazing wedding cake I cannot recommend Blue Thistle enough.

We had a great experience working with Heather at Blue Thistle. During the peak of COVID we obviously couldn't do a sit down sampling, so she sent us with a great box of many flavors that we could taste at home! The cake turned out SO BEAUTIFUL, it was just as she had drawn in the sketch. I felt bad cutting into it! Would absolutely recommend her delicious and beautiful cakes!

Want to see your groom say, "Holy ****, that's amazing!"? Then get your cake from Blue Thistle. They made a replica Allen Fieldhouse Groom's Cake (for a KU alum), that was not only delicious, but so detailed he didn't even want to cut into himself.

Heather from Blue Thistle makes the most amazing cake I've ever tasted in my entire life. She recently catered my wedding this October and the cake was honestly one of my favorite things of the entire night. Not only is her cake to die for, but she is also a kind and genuine person who is always responsive even through the busiest moments of wedding season. I recommend her to everyone. PLEASE order her apple spice cake.

Absolutely the BEST! Their cakes are beyond delicious! Heather is so kind and wonderful to work with. She created a design that was exactly what I was envisioning and turned out beautifully!

Heather is the best!! Everyone raved about how beautiful but most importantly how delicious it was! People kept going back for more. Leading up to the wedding, Heather was very easy to work with and designed the cake of my dreams !

Absolute perfection! Heather is one of the nicest people I have ever met and was so accomidating as my husband and I changed our wedding date due to COVID-19. She even was willing to make us a cake for our original wedding date so we could have a little something to celebrate. The 3 cakes she made for our wedding were all SO amazing and we got so many compliments on how delicious they were. The designs were exactly what I imagined to a tee! I can't thank Heather enough and would not have trusted anyone else with our wedding cake! The best!

Heather's cakes are literally the best in town. I will ALWAYS recommend her to everyone! Not to mention, they are seriously gorgeous. You will NOT go wrong booking this lovely human to bake your wedding cake!

Cake tasting was one of the best parts of wedding planning & Heather made it an absolute dream! She prepared the cutest tasting box for us & was so kind to meet up with us to hand it off! Not only does she make THE BEST CAKE I’ve ever tasted, she’s also incredibly kind & wonderful to work with! My husband & I fell in love with so many of her flavors, it was hard to choose. My husband specifically fell in love with her pumpkin bourbon cake. The flavor didn’t really match our July wedding but, Heather was so sweet & included one tier of his favorite flavor on top of the other two flavors we had picked out. I cannot say enough good things about Heather & Blue Thistle, she is truly the best! Most beautiful, best tasting cake I could have ever imagined, everyone LOVED it 🤍🤍

Heather's work speaks for itself. It's easy to see that she creates the most beautiful cakes, but let me just tell you... it tastes even better than it looks. We were absolutely blown away by how amazing our wedding cake was. And working with Heather was an absolute breeze! From our tasting box to wedding day we were nothing short of impressed. She is so easy to communicate with and really brought our vision to life. Would recommend her to anyone planning a wedding!

Blue Thistle was our first cake tasting and our last! Once we tasted Heather’s cakes we knew immediately!! If only it was normal to have a cake for every flavor because you seriously cannot go wrong with any of them. They are all so good! We ended up picking The Carnation and The Peony. Definitely recommend!! Not only is the cake amazing but Heather is the sweetest and easiest person to work with. She is truly so talented and her cakes are a work of art! Unfortunately, we had to reschedule our wedding but Heather was extra accommodating. She already had a full schedule for the new date we selected but she was so sweet and willing to squeeze us in. We are forever grateful for Heather and life-long Blue Thistle lovers!

We picked Blue Thistle because the cakes speak for themselves. People are still commenting on how incredible the cake was 6 MONTHS LATER!! I’m not a big sweets person but I absolutely loved it. It was so flavorful with just the right amount of sweetness. Heather is so gifted and kind and you’ll never regret using her for your wedding cake. She worked with our budget and made the best cake ever. Of all my wedding vendors, choosing her was probably the best decision. We still have our top tier in the freezer and we are counting down the days until our anniversary when we can eat it!! Thank you Heather! I’ll be seeking you out for my baby shower in a few months!! 😄

Heather with Blue Thistle is the kindest, most easy going vendor to work with! She was honestly the nicest person and her cakes are absolutely beautiful and delicious. One of our favorite parts of our day was our cake! It was sooo good and she decorated it exactly how we envisioned! Thank you Heather for being such a stress free, friendly, accommodating vendor! You went above and beyond when we had to reschedule due to covid and we so appreciate all your hard work!

Heather at Blue Thistle Cakery was such a gem to work with! She made the whole process super easy! From the tasting to the final product, nothing was short of amazing. When we did our tasting, we had a hard time narrowing down the flavors we wanted since they were all so perfect. There was one flavor I particularly enjoyed that didn't make it into our final cake, so my husband contacted Heather separately to make me a mini cake of that flavor to surprise me on our wedding day. I later learned she did this at no charge which we thought was SO sweet!! I was very happy!! All of our guests commented on how great the cake was. We couldn't have been more pleased with the flavors, look, and professionalism of Blue Thistle. Highly recommend!

Blue Thistle Cakery is AMAZING!!!! Not only is the cake amazing but the cake designs are stunning as well. Honestly, sooo many people told me after the wedding that they have never had wedding cake that was soo good AND so beautiful. I had multiple people go back for a second slice. It was all the rage. I had the peony flavor and it was amazing. Honestly, I dream of the cake it's so good. Heather is also amazing, so nice, and makes your wedding cake dreams come true. I will be a really tough critic for wedding cake now because nothing can top Blue Thistle.

Blue Thistle Cakery was AMAZING!!! My guests are still talking about how good the cake was the night of my reception… Heather was so sweet to work with and her cake design was beautiful! It was exactly what I was envisioning + more. Thank you Heather for making not only a beautiful cake but delicious too!

The yummiest and most beautiful cake I have ever seen! I have always loved Heather's work and have always followed her on social media! Her presentation from the cake tasting all the way to seeing our cake on our wedding day was stunning in every way! She really focuses on every single detail, no matter how big or small! It was so easy to work with her, and seeing our dream cake come to life and then for it to taste even better than our dreams was one of the best parts of the whole wedding planning process. Her reputation speaks for itself. I had no doubt that everything would be perfect and it absolutely was! I am already counting down for our 1 year anniversary so we can have it all again!

One word-AMAZING! Heathers cakes are literally the best cakes you will ever eat! I had Heather make our wedding cake and it turned out amazing! All of the guests raved about the chocolate and peanut butter cake (The Aster) and said it was the best thing they’ve ever ate! Heather is also amazing to work with and is very attentive to your requests. I would 100% recommend Blue Thistle Cakery for your wedding day treats! I even told my husband he needs to purchase her cake every year for our wedding anniversary! 😆 Bottom line-you’ll love this cake!

I loved working with Heather and the cake she made for our wedding was so good and looked amazing! She is so easy to work with and we got so many compliments on the cake! Thank you Heather!

Heather is just the sweetest lady to work with and her cakes are AMAZING! After our to-go tasting box, my husband and I knew we had to hire her for our wedding cake! She has many different options for everyone but our personal favorite was “The Peony”..so so good and was still great a week later. She was very accommodating and flexible with us as our plans were altered by covid-19. The small cake she made for our smaller ceremony was beautiful and we can’t wait to have more for our reception in October. I would highly recommend Blue Thistle Cakery!!

cake was absolutely amazing. Taisted great even a week later. We had a lot of last minute changes do to the carina virus but they worked with us to make everything safe, beautiful and taisty. not to mention they are WONDERFUL to work with. highly recommend!!!

Heather is the sweetest person and her cakes are FABULOUS. She was supposed to do our cake for our wedding on April 25th, but we had to postpone due to the coronavirus outbreak. Unfortunately, she was unable to make a cake for our rescheduled date due to being out of town. She was incredibly understanding and generous and completely refunded all of our money. Her cakes are fabulous and we were so sad to move forward without her. We will be recommending her to all future brides.

We can not say enough about how awesome Heather is to work with when planning our special day! From the meetings, tastings, to the sketches, and the personal phone calls, she made our thoughts come to life with her attention to every detail on our cakes. Her original but classic flavors made us wish we had more to have throughout the year. Thank you Blue Thistle for being a very special part of our big day!

Before I hired Heather to do our wedding cake we wanted to have samples of the different flavors she could do. We were unable to attend her tasting one night so she offered to meet us before her tasting and even packaged up & labeled samples of 12 flavors for us to try at home later. She was very responsive through the entire process, great priced, delivered and setup the cake without issue and most importantly our wedding cake was fabulous.

We had the luck of trying Heather’s cake at an open house and knew after one bites that we had to have it for our wedding. Blue thistle is the one vendor that I recommend to everyone I know getting married, and the one our guests complimented the most!! Seriously the cakes are so delicious I’ve considered doing a tasting just to get to have some again.

I absolutely loved working with Heather! She was quick to respond and made the whole process simple, which is exactly what I needed after having to plan a wedding! I was speechless when I was my cake. It was absolutely perfect, and of course delicious! I highly recommend working with Heather for your special day :)

Wow, Heather is an unbelievable baker and decorator. She made all of my wedding cake dreams come true! My cake was a masterpiece and I don't believe it could have been done by anyone but Heather. Not to mention how amazing the actual cake was. We had an apple cake and it was amazing to say the least. Growing up my grandma made me apple cake and when I tasted Heather's I knew it was the right choice. Out guests LOVED it too! Amazing vendor and a must have on your wedding team!

Heather went above & beyond for our day. She was super flexible & accommodating as we were an out of town couple. Took the time to get to know us & what we we wanted out of our day. Then we trusted her creativity to produce a cake that reflected (inside & out) who we are & what we wanted our wedding to be. All night & for days after we received rave reviews on the cake - both look & taste.

Heather is the absolute sweetest to work with! Not only is she one of the nicest, most genuine, people but she also creates the most gorgeous AND delicious cakes. Before meeting Heather I thought I only cared about how my cake looked, however after tasting a sample of what Heather had to offer I knew that my cake would look and taste like something beyond my dreams! She is a total dream to work with and we couldn't recommend her enough to everyone!

Where do I start, Heather is amazing! I am a wedding planner and have worked with Blue Thistle many times with our clients and a styled shoot. She makes the best cakes and they are so delicious! She will make sure it is exactly how you want it and will help create the perfect cake/desserts that fits best for your perfect occasion. I can recommend booking Blue Thistle for all of your occasions when it comes to desserts! Thank you Heather for taking care of all of our clients!

I cannot say enough about Heather and Blue Thistle! Her cakes are absolutely to-die-for and her execution of your vision is spot on! We had ten different cake flavors at our wedding and each cake flavor was better than the last...I highly recommend Blue Thistle for the creativity, the absolute decadence in every cake, and for Heather's communication and professionalism throughout the entire process!

Heather is not only an amazing cake artist, but her cakes are DELICIOUS and moist. It's hard to find cakes that are both beautiful and that also taste good, but Heather has nailed the art. Not only that, but she is the sweetest and friendliest woman, and it made working with her such a joyful experience. I would have ordered a dozen of each of her flavors if I could have. I would recommend her 100% to anyone.

Heather was absolutely wonderful to work with and her cake is to die for. She worked with us to create a wedding cake that was exactly what we were looking for based on our budget. We had a number of guests tell us it was the best wedding cake they've ever had. Highly, highly recommend Blue Thistle!

Not only was our cake and cupcakes delicious but the details were absolutely beautiful. She captured our vision perfectly. Our sweets table looked amazing!!
