options, we had a lot of fun trying a bunch of different combinations and deciding which ones we wanted! We got SO many compliments on how yummy everything was. They decorated the cupcakes beautifully, and our cake was gorgeous! I don’t have professional photos yet but I was too excited to leave this review before I got them. They are the best!!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Perfect Wedding Cake!
Cakes by Stephanie in Monroe was everything we could have hoped for and more! Our cake was absolutely BEAUTIFUL — truly a centerpiece —...
and it tasted just as good as it looked. It was so moist (not dry at all!) and full of flavor. We received so many compliments from our guests.
One thing I loved is that they let you come in and get a sample pack to try flavors for free, which made choosing so much fun and stress-free. Even better, they allow you to have multiple flavors in your cake, which was such a hit with our guests!
Their pricing is very competitive, especially for the quality you receive. They also offer beautiful stand rental options that really elevate the overall look.
And one of the sweetest touches — if you’re unable to save the top tier, they will bake you a fresh cake on your wedding anniversary. Such an amazing perk!
If you’re looking for a bakery that delivers on both beauty AND taste, look no further. Highly, highly recommend! 🎂✨

us. We had a small cake to cut and then did cupcakes for guests. Our cake was absolutely gorgeous. All we had to do was send them an inspiration photo and they nailed it. It was salted caramel and it was heavenly. We had 4 cupcake flavors to choose from (cookie dough, salted caramel, lemon strawberry, and chocolate mousse) and people raved about every single flavor. They have so many options and again were amazing to work with.

We got the cake delivered to the venue for convenience, but we didn’t know the exact drop off time until the day before the wedding which was slightly stressful, but ended up not being a big deal.
I highly recommend getting a cake from them! My husband and I have already talked about wanting to get another for our anniversary because it tasted so good!

a specific design in mind for our wedding cake, and they absolutely nailed it. It was stunning exactly what I envisioned, maybe even better!
Not only did the cake look incredible, but it also tasted amazing. We chose three flavors for our cake: white cake with raspberry mousse, red velvet, and Oreo cake with Oreo mousse and every layer was a hit with our guests! So many people came up to us raving about how good it was.
We also ordered gluten- and dairy-friendly cupcakes for guests with dietary restrictions, and they were just as delicious. Everyone felt included and taken care of, which meant a lot to us.
Delivery was smooth and totally worth the additional fee of $50. Everything arrived on time and in perfect condition.
If you want a cake that’s as beautiful as it is delicious, with amazing service to match, I highly recommend Cakes by Stephanie!

cal bakery, we turned to Cakes by Stephanie —and we are so glad we did. From the very first meeting, they sat down with us, listened to our vision, and worked closely with us to create the most amazing dessert spread.
We had everything from lemon bars, blueberry bars, fruit tarts, sugar cookies, stuffed Oreos, macaroons and cheesecake—every single treat was a hit with our guests. But the highlight? Our stunning wedding cake! The cherry chip and honey lemon lavender flavors were out of this world, and the cake was beautifully decorated with pressed flowers that perfectly matched our theme.
Cakes by Stephanie’s team were professional, warm, and incredibly thoughtful. They came and set everything up so seamlessly, and their attention to detail helped make our wedding day phenomenal. We can’t thank them enough and would recommend them to anyone looking for delicious, beautiful desserts made with love.

This bakery is AMAZING! We used them to create the wedding cake of our dreams on September 9th.
I used to work at a bakery near home when I was younger so I knew where I wanted my ...
wedding cake to be from for years. Unfortunately the owner retired and the bakery took new ownership and started to change recipes. I was crushed.
At our wedding tasting however, we tried Cake's By Stephanie. They brought multiple samples to try that day and we feel in love. The pricing is so reasonable and the cake is delicious.
We booked our appointment to discuss design, flavors and placed our deposit right away. They were able to take a custom design and match it perfectly for our wedding day. We picked a four tier and got four different flavors. They offer a free year anniversary cake so we did not have to freeze our top tier which I think is awesome. I dropped off my cake topper, silk flowers and little dog figurines to be placed on our cake. They carved out tiny pieces to make it look like our dogs took a bite out of the cake, it was adorable!
Our guests still continue to compliment how amazing the cake looked and tasted. We will continue to support this incredible bakery!

We also used their bite sized pastries for my bridal shower and they also Went! You can't go wrong with anything they make!

asting. It made it so hard to pick certain flavors. We ended up going with red velvet, cherry chip, and the cookies and cream flavors. Sydnei was our “cake guide” and walked us through the tasting and the process of ordering our cake. She is so sweet and helpful! She gave us so many design options to make sure our cake design matched our wedding design. All our guests loved our cake and a lot of them wanted a second piece! We loved our wedding cake so much that we drove from Livonia, Mi to Monroe, Mi to pick up a few more slices to eat at home! I can’t wait until the next special occasion to buy another cake/cupcake. I’m not usually a cake person but I am for the cakes Stephanie makes!

hey delivered our cakes on time to the venue. We even asked to add more cupcakes the week of the wedding and they were very accommodating. The feedback I have for them was that they did not send a box to take the top tier of our cake home in (or they never communicated where it was to our coordinator) and they had an odd way of doing their deposit that we didn't love. They require a $100 deposit, but unlike most other vendors the deposit does not go towards your final bill, rather you get it back when you return a part of the cake stand a few days after the wedding. Knowing the bridal industry, it felt like they should know the days after your wedding are chaotic and couples are usually off honeymooning, so the last thing you're thinking about is returning those cake parts. Not to mention, the venue probably threw them out anyway. The baker at Cakes by Stephanie even said the parts are only worth a few bucks, so it kind of felt like the deposit was a sneaky way to charge more. Just be careful of the deposit if you want your money back. I would recommend them to friends and family and would use them in the future!

We also ordered dairy/gluten-sensitive cupcakes for our guests with food sensitivities.
The cake decoration was also simple but beautiful and went beautifully with our décor and cake topper.
