Cakes Creatively by Crystal

Crystal was able to make us a delicious cake - but it was gorgeous too! We opted for mini pies along with cupcakes and they were a huge hit! Thank you so much!

My husband and I didn’t have a strong vision for our wedding cake, but Crystal was very patient and provided us with tons of examples. She executed our final vision flawlessly, and the cake was delicious! The buttercream is to die for.

Cakes Creatively by Crystal was better than I could’ve dreamed! Not only was the cake AMAZING, everything was put together so professionally from the tasting to the delivery on our wedding day. Crystal knew exactly how much we needed and was able to help us decide on the design and table setting to tie into our vintage-travel theme. I couldn’t ask for anything or anyone better!

Crystal did an outstanding job on our wedding cake and cupcakes! Not only was the cake amazing but she decorated it and made the display gorgeous!

Crystal couldn't have been a better choice. We planned our wedding from across the country and she went out of her way to meet us for a little tasting when we were home. She worked with our vision and our florist to make the cake that we had always dreamed of. Even more, I am gluten free, so she worked with me to make one layer GF so that i could still enjoy the cake cutting part of the reception. She has so many different delicious (husband approved) flavors that you can mix and match IN EACH LAYER! If you want a cake that people will talk about for years to come - Crystal is your girl!

Crystal did a phenomenal job on our cake!! It was exactly what we wanted and was beyond our expectations when it came to the flavor!! She is very professional and so easy to relate to I would recommend her for any occasion!

Wedding cakes can sometimes be great and other times mediocre but Crystals cakes (& cupcakes) were PERFECT!!! The flavor was delicious and they were dense, not dry, icing yummy! Everyone at our wedding loved the cupcakes! We had a wedding cake for us to cut and eat and then cupcakes for everyone else. Our flavors were lemon blueberry, cookies & cream, white chocolate raspberry, and coconut almond.

Crystal was amazing. She was super friendly, very accommodating, and she makes damn good cake!

Crystal was fantastic! We wanted a simple wedding cake with sheet cakes in the back and she was able to provide this. Her buttercream is to die for and everyone loved the peach cobbler and almond flavors that we picked. It was hard picking because she had so many good flavors to choose from! Her pricing is very reasonable and she made the cake look exactly how we described it. Would recommend Crystal in a heartbeat!

Crystal was amazing to work with from start to finish! Her attention to detail and flexibility will calm your little bridal heart! Not to mention her cakes are absolutely GORGEOUS and DELICIOUS! We had sooooo many compliments! The delivery was painless, my beautiful cake just showed up in tip top shape! Couldn't have asked for a better experience! Thanks Crystal!

Absolutely loved the cake Crystal made for our wedding reception. Not only was it stunning to look at but it was delicious! In addition to the perfect wedding cake, Crystal was easy to get in touch with and work with. I would highly recommend her cakes to anyone!

We had a cake tasting with 2 places for my daughters wedding 2 weeks ago. Both were picked based on their reviews. After the tastings, Crystal was the clear choice, her flavors were phenomiminal! My daughter had 3 flavors at her wedding, white chocolate raspberry, lemon blueberry, and pumpkin and they were all fabulous! (Highly recommend the pumpkin for a fall wedding!) Her cakes are so moist and her Swiss buttercream is delicious! We also had a family/ friends cookie table at the wedding with a couple thousand cookies. I honestly expected to have lots of cake left over with all the desserts available, but it was almost all gone......everyone loved her cakes! Crystal was so easy to work with and her cakes speak for themselves. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding cake or cake for a special event!

Crystal was fantastic. We had cupcakes as well as a cake, both tasted great. We got SO many compliments. She came and set everything up and made it look so nice. I was so happy with how everything came out.

Our previous cake baker fell through and we were left having to find someone else. I had heard such great things about Crystal and her cakes, so we decided to set up a tasting. Her cakes are delicious and so beautiful! We wanted something very simple and tasty.. and she did just that. Prices were very reasonable as well, which is always a plus!! I would 100% recommend Cakes Creatively by Crystal!!!

Crystal did an amazing job! The cake looked and tasted amazing.

Crystal made such a beautiful cake and everyone loved the flavors and decoration in the cake. It was gorgeous and had such great details. She made a wonderful cake and made it so easy to get in touch with her if needed and answered emails so quickly. If I had the chance to do it again I would pick her again to make my cake it was so wonderful.

Crystal is wonderful! Such a down-to-earth mom and amazing at what she does! Her work on our wedding cake was fabulous. She stayed in contact with me and showed up promptly before the wedding to set the cake up and add the flowers we provided. Her prices are actually very reasonable, which was a huge bonus! I would highly recommend Cakes Creatively to anybody!

I was looking for a place that offered affordable and that I can still get everything I wanted. I can say crystal did that and more. With everything we have to worry about on the wonderful day my cake was not on that list. We met in public place. She was very professional. Everyone at the reception loves the quality of the cake. I am so happy I found her. She did an awesome job!!

We are still craving our wonderful wedding cake!We may break into our anniversary cake early! Cakes Creatively by Crystal truly makes the best cake we have ever had, and on our wedding day our guests agreed! Crystal was extremely helpful during the planning process and let us do not one tasting, but two! When we couldn't decide on flavors she came up with creative ways to incorporate all of our favorites! Her designs are beautiful and the personalized service can not be beat! Thank you again Crystal for providing us with the most delicious and beautiful treat to seal the deal on our big day!

Our two-tiered wedding cake was beautiful, Crystal did a fantastic job! We had two different flavors and both were delicious and the buttercream was amazing. We are so pleased we went with her to make our wedding cake!

The cake was absolutely delicious and beautiful! We offered the almond, strawberry, chocolate (with raspberry filling), and lemon blueberry. The frosting was so good: tasty and creamy, but not too rich. All of our guests told us that the cake was delicious! The decorating was gorgeous and we're so glad we went with Crystal!

Cakes Creatively by Crystal made me cupcakes, cake pops and a cake for our wedding! It was DELICIOUS and beautiful! People came up for seconds and we didn’t have any left overs! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Cakes Creatively by Crystal! She was great, her cakes/cupcakes/cake pops were great, and I would use her again in a heartbeat!

I loved the cake we got from Crystal. She let us do several different flavors and was happy to make the chocolate covered strawberries I requested. We got so many complements on both the look and taste of the cake. I would highly recommend her. She listened to what we wanted and made suggestions to help us achieve our vision. She was a pleasure to work with.

Cakes Creatively by Crystal is a wonderful choice. We had her make our wedding cake for a wedding at the Franklin Park Conservatory. She met with us in person letting us know all of our option both for the cake and the design and she made us a three tier cake that she then placed flowers on as requested. The cake was delicious and it looked phenomenal. Crystal is a delight to work with. She is professional, pleasant, communicative, and helpful. And we could not have been happier with the final product. It was amazing and we were delighted. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a cake for a wedding or special event.

Cakes Creatively by Crystal was incredible!!! Crystal was so wonderful to work with and her cake is amazing!! She brought lots of options to the tasting so that we could be sure of what we wanted. She was also able to perfectly recreate the picture of the cake I showed her. She was very easy to get ahold of and schedule meetings with. I highly recommend her to any bride looking for a wedding cake!!

Cakes Creatively by Crystal was amazing! We tried several bakers and her icing and flavors were the best. The icing on her cakes were the best by far, not too grainy or sugary. She also did an amazing job on the decorations for our cake, it turned out so perfect based on what we wanted. All our guests loved the cake. It was amazing and I would defiantly get cake from Crystal again!

Beautiful! Crystal made the most perfect cake and it was absolutely as we had dreamed. Not only was it beautiful but it was delicious too!!! I would highly recommend her cakes for any occasion!! Thank you for making our day brighter!

The cake was delicious and beautiful. It was decorated just as we had discussed and Crystal worked well with our florist to incorporate the flowers into the decoration. We had multiple compliments on the flavors of cake that we had!

From the very first time we met Crystal, she was so personable and attentive. We knew we were looking for someone like her to make our wedding cake...and that was before we tried her delicious cakes. The European buttercream was exactly the right amount of sweet and it truly made Crystal’s cakes stand out from the other ones we tried. We ended up doing a 3 tiered cake with a mix of flavors and fillings since we loved so many of the flavors. I wanted our cake to tie in with the rest of the fall themed wedding decor and so, Crystal decorated the cake beautifully with fresh flowers—it was a huge hit!

Crystal did an awesome job with our cake. It was exactly what we wanted and tasted great. She was easy to communicate with and made sure our cake was set up and ready to for our reception.

Crystal worked with us from the day of the cake tasting to the day of the wedding to make our cakes a perfect execution of our vision. Crystal was easy to work with and was responsive to all of our questions. Her cakes were a big hit at our wedding! The flavors of cake that she offers are unique and delicious. The bridal cake turned out beautifully. And she even created a personalized Groom's cake that made our special day that much more special.

Crystal was so easy to work with and she made my cake look gorgeous! Not to mention it was delicious and my guests loved it and asked for leftovers :)

Crystal was great to work with and the cake turned out amazing! Tasted great and looked just as good, we got comments all night about it and several people asking who did for their own events. Definitely recommend!

Everyone of our guests at our wedding kept raving about the cake! Rick and myself loved it from the tasting and on the day of the wedding it was perfect! Crystal made the cake that Rick and I envisioned and it was everything we could have asked for and more!!

Our Mocha wedding cake with Chocolate buttercream was so moist and chocolaty. We had so many compliments from our guests. Crystal was so easy to work with too. Worth every penny, and it didn't break the bank either!!!

Crystal did a fantastic job for our wedding. She was very helpful and provided us with a ton of options when we were looking into the cakes for our wedding. We had five awesome flavors and it's also important to state how amazing the buttercream frosting was. Pretty much the best frosting ever.

amazing all around! crystal was such a pleasure to work with and the cake was exactly what we wanted. the flavors we’re outstanding & our guest loved everything about the cake. highly recommend for any event!

We absolutely LOVED working with Crystal. We taste tested numerous cakes at bakeries all around the Columbus area and Crystal was hands down the best. The flavors were amazing and she was able to bring our vision to life. She had so many photos of different cakes to help us narrow down the design we wanted and we couldn't have been happier with the end result. Our guests raved about the cake and I still have dreams about it! It was so good we couldn't wait until our 1 year anniversary to eat the topper...we ate it that night in our hotel room and the following day! Seriously, best decision ever. LOVE Crystal!

My husband and I had a wonderful experience using Cakes Creatively by Crystal for our wedding. We got married on 9/8/17 and were over the moon with how great the cake turned out. Crystal is very personable and accommodating. We had our wedding outdoors, and many of the big-name or chain bakeries we had tastings with would not allow us to use buttercream icing. They said since the reception will be outdoors, the buttercream would not hold up in the potential heat. However, Crystal was very accommodating and stated that she could deliver the cake and it could be stored in the kitchen of the venue, if necessary, so that I would be able to have the icing I wanted. Also, her icing is to die for!! It is so light like whipped icing but has all the flavor of buttercream and just melts in your mouth. Even my brother who claims to dislike cake was surprised to find that he really liked the one we had made by Crystal. I highly recommend this small business that has a really big taste!! Cakes Creatively by Crystal helped make our special day perfect!

Crystal did an amazing job with our cake. We live in Oregon and she was very flexible in working with us online and doing tastings with our family members instead of us. We asked her to create a new design for us and she did it flawlessly, with a beautiful cake stand. The cake tasted delicious too! She also gave us tasty mini cheesecakes with strawberries. Best bang for your buck.

Crystal was wonderful, she made my dream wedding cake come to life! Our guests loved it & even though we didnt get to eat much of it, it was so tasty!

Crystal was super amazing! She was so helpful to me through the wedding planning process and did a fantastic job on our cake! It was beautiful, delicious, and we received tons of compliments! Would definitely recommend to anyone planning their wedding! :)

We were extremely pleased with Crystal's beautiful work. Not only was our cake very tasty but perfectly made. She offered a great suggestion that included cupcakes with different flavors--which was a HIT at our wedding. We met once for a tasting; then, Crystal sent us a link to a website to help with planning how many cupcakes we needed. (We live about 2 hrs away and work the night shift, so this type of planning/communication worked perfect for us). We appreciated her professionalism and efficiency VERY MUCH, considering we planned our wedding in just 3 months! I'd highly recommend her to any of our closest friends and family.

Crystal was so easy to work with. She took my very limited guidelines and created a beautiful, romantic cake for our summer garden themed wedding. Not only did the cake look beautiful but it tasted AMAZING. We went with lemon and strawberry alternating layers with buttercream frosting. Guests were asking to take more home and both my groom and I couldn't get enough. We will use her again for any event we host!

Cakes Creatively by Crystal was a fantastic choice for our wedding! We met with her about a year in advance and did a tasting. Her cakes were the best we had in Columbus! They were incredibly moist and the european buttercream is spectacular! We went with a simple design on the outside, but loads of flavor on the inside! Our bottom layer had Fudgie Chocolate and Cookies and Cream, our middle layer had Blackberry Champagne and White Chocolate Raspberry and then we froze our top tier which was Blackberry Champagne again. My husband isn't a huge cake fan, so we did mini pies as well (They were so popular I didn't even get to try one!) I don't even think I saw Crystal on our wedding day things moved so quickly, but at one point I walked in the room and everything was set up perfectly! People raved about the cake, and I ate the leftovers all week. Crystal was affordable and professional and I would highly recommend her to any couples who are looking for a delicious cake with no stress! There is a picture of the cake on Amy Ann Photography's blog about our day! http://amyannphoto.com/blog/2017/08/18/alexa-alex-darby-house-summer-wedding/

Crystal was amazing to work with. She designed the cake of my dreams and the taste of the two flavors I choose was out of this world. I will be using Crystal again.

I wish I could save everyone the time of choosing a wedding cake vendor / artist / baker. I started my search looking for the top reviews on different websites. Then I took those, and looked at the cake designs themselves - which helped weed out a lot. Finally, I took price into consideration. My now-husband and I tried 3 vendors on that short list, and were blown away by Crystal. She is the triple threat: Delicious cakes + elegant designs + affordability. Best choice in Columbus!

I can't say enough good things about Crystal! She made everything easy right from the get go, and was super professional in every detail for my wedding cake. I met with 5 other cake shops while in Columbus - planning my wedding from Austin, TX - and I am so glad we went with her. All communication went smoothly, and at the day off, all I had to do was say hi while she was setting everything up. It looked amazing, and just as the picture I showed her of the cake I wanted. Thanks so much, Crystal!

My cake was beautiful!! Exactly what I had hoped for and it was delicious!!

Crystal created a beautiful - and delicious - cake for my client last weekend. She was a breeze to work with and she worked closely with my client to bring their vision to life. The couple offered boxed leftovers as a favor and there wasn't a single box left, it was that good!

Crystal was amazing to work with! She made the whole process super easy. The hardest part was picking which delicious flavors to go with. Our cake was simple and beautiful! Absolutely no complaints!

My maid of honor and I went to many cake testings and chose Cakes by Crystal! There were many reasons why we chose her. She was early, something that I def wanted on my big day. She was so kind. She brought many samples that were presented amazingly. Most of all the cakes were fabulous! She makes a real buttercream icing! Not the 10 lbs of pure sugar that you normally have to pick off! On the day of my wedding, May 6, 2017, she arrived early and set up the cake quickly. Including the stand. It was breath taking! Exactly what I had dreamed of! My guest and myself loved the flavors and how moist the cake was! We had peanut butter fudge top, marble middle, and an amazing almond bottom layer! With so many cake testings obviously I came to realize that cake is not cheap! Some of them cake artist literally charged per design, delivery, set up, etc. Cakes by Crystal was very reasonable! To say the least I tried the rest and picked the best! Thank you so very much!

We were so glad that we chose Cakes Creatively by Crystal to design our wedding cake. Crystal was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the process. She was always quick to respond to any of our communications or questions and was flexible with our schedule when it came to meetings. The cake itself turned out beautiful and the taste was out of this world! Her flavor choices were so unique and she let us choose up to 4 flavors for our wedding so our guests could get a variety of the flavors we loved. My advice to any couple looking to get married in the Columbus area, use Cakes Creatively by Crystal!!!

We were very pleased with our wedding cake from Crystal! We originally chose Cakes Creatively based on her description of buttercream icing. We were looking for a certain taste of buttercream and her description was on point! From our initial meet, tasting and through email correspondence, Crystal was always attentive to our needs. Our cake was reasonabley priced, flawless and we had several compliments of the overall look and taste. Our guest favorite was the apple cinnamon! We definitely recommend her services.
