Working with Tammy was great from the start! She made us three sample cakes - which were the largest cake samples we’d gotten from any cake place around here - and all were so good...
! It was hard to choose which flavors to go with, so Tammy suggested going with two! We had a four tier cake with two different flavors for guests to choose from. We told her what we liked out of her previous cakes and their designs, and she was able to perfectly design our cake to how we imagined it. It was absolutely beautiful! Both flavors were incredible! We got compliments on the cake all night long - and are still having people tell us how great it was - in its looks and it’s taste. Besides being amazing at what she does, Tammy is a wonderful person! She was so sweet and genuine throughout the entire planning process! She’s one of the kindest people out there and she definitely makes the best cakes in this area! Highly recommend!!
Tammy was so amazing to work with! She was by far our very favorite wedding vendor. She met with us about 7-8 months before our wedding and gave us 3 large sample cakes (of our cho...
ice) to take home and try with our families. Her cakes are DELICIOUS and she has so many flavor choices! They are also decorated beautifully and she is willing to try anything you ask her to. Tammy was SO friendly and easy to talk to during our consultation and we absolutely loved her. We knew immediately after meeting with her that she was the one! We got so many compliments from our guests about how delicious the cake was. Tammy is wonderful to work with, extremely affordable, and a really great value all the way around. Definitely our easiest wedding vendor decision!
This amazing lady made the most detailed perfect cake I ever seen! She is so kind and understanding! We loved our cake and so did our guest! This cake was one of the parts of our d...

Tammy is amazing. Firstly, she was a pleasure to meet with. She was accommodating based on my schedule and travel restrictions and was extraordinarily enthusiastic. From our very f...
irst meeting I could tell that she was going to go above and beyond for my wedding cake. Her cakes were so delicious at our tasting that I had a hard time picking and so I used her own experience and judgement and it didn’t steer me wrong (went with the almond cake with amaretto icing). My guests all commented on how the cake was the best they had ever tasted. The cake was beautifully done. She even baked a completely new cake top for us to use for our 1 year anniversary, free of cost. She also was accommodating in helping us budget. We asked for her to use styrofoam for some of the cake and use a sheet cake for the majority of guests in order to minimize cost. The week of she decided that she was going to make our entire cake real (no styrofoam) for the same cost. Wow, so generous! I would use Tammy again in a heart beat
Tammy was so nice and easy to work with. I showed her an idea of what style cake I wanted and she truly ran with it. My cake was everything I could have dreamed of and more! (a mar...
ble middle layer with gold outlines AHH). I would book Tammy again and again. You will not be disappointed if you do!
Tammy was wonderful to work with. She and her staff were so friendly. We went in with just a picture and she did far more than we could’ve imagined. The cake was beautiful and tast...
ed even better! We had 4 layers and each was a different flavor. Everyone had a different favorite and nothing but great things to say. Tammy, we can’t thank you enough for adding a sweet touch to our day!
Our wedding cake was so beautiful and elegant! Tammy was amazing to work with and she got every little detail right! She is absolutely amazing. Not only was our wedding cake stunni...
ng, it was delicious!
Tammy was hands-down my favorite vendor that we used for our wedding. Not to knock any of our other vendors, but Tammy goes above and beyond for her customers. From making special ...
arrangements for us at the tasting, to designing, to delivering, she completely exceeded my expectations. She made us the most beautiful cake exactly how we pictured it. She is truly talented! Not only that, she decorated it with the flowers that my mom had bought, but ran out of time to place. You will not be disappointed if you order your cake from her.
Tammy was simply amazing. She traveled far to get to us for both our wedding and taste test. Her cake tasted delicious and I am not a big fan of cake. Personality is not everything...
when you mainly contact a vendor via email, but Tammy brings it. She was so pleasant, quick to respond, easy going, had suggestions and answers, and excited to do whatever you wanted. We had so many compliments on the look and taste of our cake.
Tammy is amazing! We talked to Tammy on the phone and via email before meeting with her for a tasting, where she brought us two small cakes to try, which was very nice because we c...
ould take them home and had some of our wedding party taste with us, which was very special. The cake was DELICIOUS and beautifully elegant. We really weren't sure what we wanted (aside from incorporating a very unique topper in the likeness of our favorite singer), and her suggestions and enthusiasm made our cake perfect, and you could tell she was as excited about our cake as we were! The guests were raving about how good the cake was, and we brought some leftover to eat for breakfast on our honeymoon; many states away and 4 days later, that cake is still moist and delicious!! Amazing!
Tammy was so nice during the whole wedding process. Since we couldn't make the tasting, because we don't live in Pittsburgh, she agreed to meet us at a location closer to us. She b...
rought two smaller cakes with flavors and fillings that my husband and I took home so we could try some. Tammy was also very accommodating when it came to the design of the cake. I had a specific type of cake that I wanted, and Tammy made it happen and she also seemed very excited to create it! I got so many compliments on the cake--the details and the flavors. We were able to get two different flavors with filling in our wedding cake. Spice cake with pumpkin cream cheese filling and Chocolate with raspberry mousse filling. Oh my gosh. Both of those were amazing but her chocolate cake was the best cake I have ever had in my life. I highly recommend Cakes by Tammy!
BEST CAKE EVER.. I had so many guests ask me where the cake was from because it was sooo good. it was decorated so beautifully. I didn't even have a picture of what I wanted it to ...
look like. I verbally told her what I was looking for and she drew up some drawings for me to approve and the cake was beyond words. it was just perfect and delicious!
Tammy is an absolutely lovely lady to work with and her cakes are divine. My main concern with cake was I wanted a cake that tasted amazing and decorations were not as big of a con...
cern to me. That being said, Tammy's cakes taste incredible and her designs are marvelous. She will also go out of her way to help you find the perfect cake. We wanted a fall flavor for our fall wedding and my husband isn't a fan of pumpkins spice, so despite the fact that it's not listed on her website, she still baked us an incredible apple spice cake that everyone loved. She also met with us multiple times to make sure everything was just right. At our first meeting, we were surprised to find that instead of bringing us a small sample slice of cake or a cupcake like most bakers, she brought us 2 full 6 inch cakes at no charge. When we wanted to taste a different flavor months later, she more than happily baked us another full 6 inch cake for free, and then surprised us with a ton of free cupcakes for my husband's Birthday. In addition to her generosity and her excellent cakes, Tammy is extremely personable, fun to talk to, and our meetings felt more like a meeting with a friend than a meeting with a wedding vendor, which made the entire process even more amazing.
My fiancé and I attempted to schedule a tasting with Tammy, it took her 2 days to respond. After scheduling a tasting she told us a few days before the meeting day that she had for...
gotten that she had plans on that day and couldn’t make it. Then during our second attempt we had a family emergency and emailed to say we needed to reschedule, and it took her 4 days to respond. Then on our third attempt we drove 40 minutes away to the meeting spot and waited 30 minutes and she never showed up nor gave us a phone call or email alerting us to the fact that she would be be missing our meeting, at least not until the next day giving excuses as to why she could not meet with us and wanted our time. In the month that we “corresponded” with her she never once responded to our emails or calls until more than 24 hours after or longer. We completely wasted our time with her and do not recommended her to anyone and we are glad we are not using her because we could be assured that she would have failed to actually bring a cake to our wedding day.
Our cake was absolutely incredible! It was, hands down, my favorite part of the reception! Tammy created exactly what I envisioned and requested, and it was absolutely beautiful. T...
he detail execution - gorgeous. Tammy was also very receptive whenever I thought about changing my design, and offered her expertise opinion in which I trusted and was not let down. If you are looking for something classy, timeless, elegant - this is your bakery!
So, I'm not going to lie, I tried a lot of cake (A LOT). Many bakeries had spectacular presentation, but the cake itself was bland or even greasy. With Tammy, there was no sacrific...
e on the part of flavor for a beautiful cake, though her artistry is also amazing. Tammy's cake is not only delicious, but she also was incredibly thoughtful about letting us try multiple options and discuss with her what we wanted. She was phenomenal! (And the cake was too :) )
One word... unreal. Our cake looked like something straight from a magazine and tasted even better! It was absolutely gorgeous and by far the most complimented thing at our recepti...
on. Tammy was so incredibly kind and went the extra mile for any questions or requests we had. She had BY FAR the best tasting cake out of any bakeries we tried (and believe me, we tried a few.) Not to mention, she was by far the most reasonably priced baker as well. You could tell she just absolutely loves her job and is such a people person. I could not recommend Cakes by Tammy enough.
Our wedding cake, for our wedding May 6, 2017 was absolutely gorgeous. Tammy is so creative and passionate about her work and it definitely shows in her product. Everyone loved the...
cake and even grabbed seconds. I love that the top of the cake is able to be used because she makes a separate anniversary cake for us. Tammy is easy to communicate with and and her cake is delicious .
I cannot recommend Tammy enough. I had originally dreamed of a Bethel Bakery cake, that is until I tasted Tammy's cake. Every single person at our (large) wedding went on and on ab...
out how good our cake was- "the best they've ever had!" Not only do her cakes taste amazing, they look amazing too. She even gives you sample cakes to take home and try, not tiny bites!
It was perfect!! everyone loved it and it tasted fantastic! Thank you for working so hard on it especially after your accident. We appreciate it and everyone had nothing but good t...
hings to say about it. Thank you for making our day special!
Continuous communication and effortless ease. Tammy was amazing. Everything was thought-out and beautiful. She has amazing options to fit every budget!

o!!! Communication with Tammy was very easy! the cake was also affordable for what you get! First off, at your first meeting she gives you sample cakes to try, well of course after we tried our first bite we knew she was a shoe in! Would highly recommend for any special event!!
Tammy was my favorite vendor of my entire wedding and I cannot sing her praises enough!! As an out of town bride, Tammy worked with me to allow me to taste some of her cakes, even ...
meeting me at night at a random hotel in Robinson to drop them off to me. We had a separate wedding cake from Prantl's for a morning brunch on the wedding day (Tammy's was for our evening reception) that I expected to be my favorite. However, at the evening reception, I was blown away!! We had the marble cake with oreo buttercream, which I expected to be good but it was by far my favorite cake I've ever had. I was also incredibly indecisive about how I wanted it decorated and what color I wanted it. She really helped me come up with a design and color scheme and I can't thank her enough. Her cake was gorgeous. I give her my highest recommendation - Tammy is AMAZING!!!
Cakes by Tammy are awesome!! The taste is amazing as is the design. She was so easy to work with and accommodating. Our cake was perfect for our big day!
Tammy did an amazing job on our 4 tiered wedding cake! We couldn't have been happier with how it turned out. It looked beautiful and tasted excellent!
We could not have been happier with our cake from cakes by Tammy. She was so great to work with and very helpful. She was willing to make any sample flavor combination we wanted ...
and was very flexible. She combined the ideas from the pictures we sent her and made our dream cake. The cake was delicious as well as beautiful.
“DID YOU SEE THE CAKE?” That is the first thing our DJ said to us before we walked into the ballroom. I said not yet and he goes… it is amazing and HUGE! Then- when everyone was ...
eating cake--- they commented on how moist and delicious it was! People ate a second piece- there was no left overs! Lets just say it is not the standard, boring wedding cake! The cake was PERFECT! The detail Tammy put into the cake was amazing – she is a great decorator. What else could you ask for – a gorgeous cake that tastes delicious! She is simply the BEST!
Tammy was great to work with from the very beginning. She had no problem meeting us at a hotel in our hometown and she brought two 6-inch cakes for us to take home and try! The two...
cakes were delicious and the generous sample allowed us to share it with the groom's family. After a couple weeks of not being able to decide on which flavors to get, Tammy offered to make us THREE more sample cakes for a small price. After we finally made our decision, I sent Tammy a couple of pictures of cakes that I saw from Pinterest. The cakes that I sent her were very different from the beautiful sample cakes she showed us, but I had total faith in Tammy and knew that her creativity and talent would shine through..and boy was I right! When I saw the cake for the first time on our wedding day, I was completely blown away! I requested an "ombré"-style cake that went from teal at the top to purple at the bottom...it was more beautiful than I even imagined and looked INCREDIBLE with the acrylic cake topper I picked out. I felt bad cutting it! I could not recommend Tammy enough for any upcoming brides and grooms...she was so easy to work with and our cake was beautiful and delicious. I already can't wait to eat our anniversary cake!
Tammy was wonderful to work with. She has many different cake, filling, and icing combinations to suit any tastes. Our guests thought the cake was beautiful and delicious.
This was one of the two choices we had with our package for our wedding and it was the best choice we made with the cake.
Tammy was super energetic and she was one that seemed t...
o have a passion for what she does. When we met with her she made us so many choices that we ended up with layers of different flavors. She does an amazing job with making sure the flavors of cake and icing are exactly to your liking.
I love that she makes a separate cake for the anniversary cake. She is very good with details and we couldn't have asked for anything better.
All of our guests complimented how amazing the cake was and a portion of it even when back with a friend to Ohio whose parents also raved how good the cake was. So kudos to Tammy and if you're looking for someone with passion on details and flavor, she's the one for you.
Cakes by Tammy is amazing and I would definitely recommend her for anyone's wedding! Tammy was great to deal with and always responded quickly to my e-mails. She can do ANY design...
on a cake. She'll show you a lot she has done in the past, but if you like a particular design, just show her a picture and she can have it done! Her cakes are DELICIOUS! Everyone at our wedding said how wonderful our cake was! I love Cakes by Tammy and will definitely be making my sister use her for her wedding! She's great!
I can not thank Tammy enough for creating the wedding cake of my dreams! Not only did she make a gorgeous wedding cake but it was absolutely delicious. After tasting several of h...
er cakes, my husband and I chose the white chocolate swirl batter with strawberry filling. My wedding guests are still talking about how amazing the cake was! I would recommend her to any bride as she takes the time to listen and is willing to create anything you want for a very reasonable price! She is the best :-)
I can not even begin to tell you how AMAZING Tammy from Cakes by Tammy is to work with. I looked at many different cake places and had high expectations for the cake I wanted. I wa...
nted a truly custom cake with intricate designs. I went to a couple bakeries that wanted to charge insane amounts of money or just told me they could not do the cake I envisioned. When I met with Tammy she said she was excited to make the cake and hoped I chose the one I showed her. She was up for the challenge. The cake was the most BEAUTIFUL thing I have ever seen! I did not want to cut it! It was a 6 tier cake with a detailed silver dragee design and edible pearls. She had to apply the design with tweezers (I now feel bad about that). My reception venue second my opinions on the cake and said it was the best one they had seen. Not only was it the most beautiful cake ever but it also tasted delicious! You will not regret going with Tammy, she was amazing!
Our wedding cake was included in our wedding package from our venue, but we had a choice between two bakers. We chose Cakes by Tammy and we couldn't have been happier with our cho...
ice. Tammy is such a pleasant person to work with! She listens to exactly what you want and gives it to you. Our cake was EXACTLY what we wanted! My husband doesn't even like cake, but he looooved Tammy's french vanilla cake with chocolate mousse filling which we used in each tier of our wedding cake. I would definitely recommend Tammy to all my friends and family. Such a great person!
We had orginally booked with another baker who called me and said they could no longer do my cake. That was the best thing that could have ever happened. Tammy saved the day! She m...
et with us at an agreed upon location and built the cake I had designed to the tee. It looked exactly like my picture. Not only that, she was much more affordable than any other baker I could find!
Thank you Tammy for making such a delicious wedding cake that my husband ate my piece while I wasn't looking!! When I met with Tammy she was friendly and fun to talk to. She was op...
en to all of our ideas and answered a lot of our questions about what was or wasn't possible. When we showed her some inspiration photos, she immediately understood our vision. When we ran into a road block with the particular color we wanted, she went above and beyond to try and match it. She kept in contact with us and provided us with updates on her progress. When she wasn't able to match the color (it was truly just an odd color), she provided us with many options (even though it was only a week before the big day). Her efforts to make us happy were much appreciated. In the end, she created a beautiful cake that fit what we pictured in our minds AND tasted so very delicious! I can't wait to chow down on that anniversary cake (which she baked and boxed separately for us).
Tammy was wonderful to work with! I brought her multiple pictures of cakes I liked and she was able to design a custom cake from them! It was the cake of my dreams! The cake its...
elf was moist and delicious! I have received so many compliments on the cake, it was definitely a hit! I would highly suggest using Cakes by Tammy!
This was one of my husbands only stern requests. He liked her cakes so much that he said he didn't even care what it looked like, because it tastes amazing. Thankfully, Tammy is a...
mazingly talented and it looked beautiful as well. She was so accommodating and let us choose different fillings AND cake flavors for each of our 4 tiers. We showed her photos of colors and styles of decorating and she put them all together and made the most gorgeous ombre buttercream cake. She's a dream!
Beautiful cake that tasted sooooo good!!! Love Tammy!
We used Cakes by Tammy for our wedding. Tammy is very easy to work with, she realizes it's your day and she will work with you so you get that perfect cake you've been dreaming of....
our cake was delicious, and just beautiful! I would highly recommend using her.
I love cake. I could admittedly eat cake for every meal of the day and not get bored of it. Chocolate, white, red velvet, I don't care...put some icing on it and I'll eat it. Ca...
ke = life. Good cake = happiness :) So I know bad cake when I taste it. Tammy's cake is out of this world, insanely good! The father of one of our wedding guests is a baker and she RAVED about our cake from Tammy, so that is saying something! We opted for 2 tiers of chocolate and 2 tiers of white, both with regular buttercream. The chocolate was perfect! Not too rich but just the right chocolate flavor! The buttercream isn't too sugary or grainy like some can be. The design and the artistry was beautiful!!!! Tammy was incredibly easy to work with and super nice! She put my fiance and I at ease and I felt like we were friends, instead of bride and vendor. Her prices are very reasonable, especially for the quality of work! Stop looking at other bakers right now and do yourself a favor and hire Tammy! You will not be disappointed!!!!
I'm sure there is a way to reply to reviews my brides have left me, but as most of you know, Im not very computer savvy! :)
I just wanted to THANK all of you for such awesome rev...
iews and tell you how much I appreciate them!
On days I question why I do this for a living (you know, the one's where I added too much vanilla to the icing, or doubled the eggs in the cake mix on accident kind'a days), all I have to do is read some reviews from my former clients and I remember EXACTLY why!!
Thank you all for making me a part of one of the most special day's of your life!
Tammy is by far the best wedding cake vendor in Pittsburgh! Even so, that I decided against our normal "go to" bakery and chose her. She was very pleasant and easy to work with. Sh...
e will even provide you with 2 large cake samples to take home and taste with your family. No job is too difficult to her. I had a very elaborate 5 tier cake and it turned out just as the picture I showed her.
I am beyond satisfied with her service. She is also very reliable and talented! Go Tammy!
Tammy made my dream cake for my wedding! It was beautiful and amazing! The price was just right as well!!!
Cakes by Tammy was a vendor that was offered through our wedding venue. We had her cakes before at a friends wedding so it was a no brainer that we were going to use her for our bi...
g day. She was able to take a picture of what we wanted and brought it to life. The cake was exceptional. The butter pecan with butter cream icing is to die for!!!
Tammy is by far the best baker I dealt with in my search for my wedding cake. After meeting with her, she insisted that we look at other vendors before making our choice. And after...
we did, there was no comparison! Tammy makes her clients feel special and appreciated...unlike other vendors that I dealt with that made me feel like I was a burden or taking up their time. She loved my ideas for my cake and incorporated all of them into what was a beauty! We received tons of compliments on the cake and I'd recommend Tammy in a heartbeat to anyone looking for a baker for whatever the occasion!
