Tracey truly feels like a part of our family now. She is so sweet nice and patient. She did exactly what we wanted, filled in all of the gaps of helping us with what we did not kno...
w, and everything was far better than I ever could have expected or anticipated. It tasted like the best cake I have ever had as well. Will be using her for all future events. Always.
Amazing cakes! Just WOW! Delicious, moist, and look stunning!!! Truly an artist who is also an incredible baker! Everyone raved at our wedding!!!
Tracey is amazing! First, her cakes and desserts are not only gorgeous, but delicious! At our tasting we selected a number of desserts for our dessert bar. I emailed Tracey a pictu...
re I found of a previous wedding cake she made and her version of the cake was spot on. It was beautiful, the colors were perfect, it fit our wedding theme and it tasted AMAZING !!! The desserts were set up so nicely and looked great. The ones we had were outstanding! Second, Tracey could not have been sweeter (yup, that’s a baking pun). We communicated mostly via email and Tracey was very responsive. I would highly recommend using Tracey and Cakes To Remember for any bakery needs-wedding, party, birthday - she is truly phenomenal!
The wedding cake was delicious and moist. It was skillfully decorated in detail with beautiful handmade flowers (peonies and roses) on it. All the guests enjoyed the desserts which...
were attractive to eyes and delicious in taste. Tracey was easy to communicate and responsive throughout the whole process. She gave me useful suggestions and reminders that I appreciated. Her dedication to be a professional cake artist is recognized. I am so glad that she did the cake/desserts for my daughter's wedding.
She did an amazing job for my wedding cake and cupcakes! She was very responsive! I recommend her to all my friends! Everyone loved my cake and cupcakes!
Cakes to Remember is so amazing!
The taste and decor was perfect!
Tracey is so talented and kind!
Definitely recommend!
If you’re looking for a baker who’s part artist, part magician, and 100% amazing, look no further than Cakes to Remember with Tracey! From the moment my fiancée and I stepped into ...
her world of sugary wonders, we knew we were in good hands.
Let’s start with the cake tasting—a truly spiritual experience. Tracey welcomed us into her spotless, quiet, and beautifully elegant home, which immediately set the tone for a professional and personalized experience. She laid out flavors that made us question if we’d ever actually eaten cake before. Her vanilla? Heavenly. Her chocolate? Life-changing. And don’t even get me started on the lemon—let’s just say, if I could marry a flavor, my fiancée might have some competition.
When it came to designing the cake, Tracey was a genius. She took our vague Pinterest-inspired ideas and turned them into a masterpiece in the making. “Rustic yet elegant,” we said. “A touch of whimsy,” we added. Tracey nodded, smiled, and practically read our minds.
Her communication has been just as amazing. Quick, clear, and super informative—she’s answered all our questions before we even had to ask them. And did I mention the pricing? It’s practically a steal for the level of artistry, professionalism, and attention to detail we’re getting.
We’re so excited for our wedding day, knowing that Tracey’s cake will be the centerpiece (besides us, of course). If you’re on the fence about booking her, let me save you some time—do it. You’ll get more than just a cake; you’ll get an incredible experience from start to finish.
Best cake decorator around! Used for our wedding of 215 guests, and would not change a thing about it. She knew our wedding personally, paid a great deal of attention, made exactly...
what we wanted, and even better. Highly recommend!
We use Tracey for all of our cakes and have for 14 years. We started with our wedding, moved to baby shower cakes, and now she makes all of our birthday cakes for our 3 children (a...
nd husband and me). She is great!! I just give her an idea of the theme we are using and she surprises us each time with the best looking and best tasting cakes! So excited every time we get to place an order with her!
Best cake and dessert business in the whole region. Never disappointed.
Fabulous cake decorator! Fabulous dessert maker! The best cake and desserts we have ever had. Will use for all of our future events and look forward to using her again.
Tracey did a beautiful job on my partner's and my wedding. She was fun to meet with. We smiled, laughed, had a great time, and felt like we had come over to see a friend, versus a ...
cake decorator. She let us know that she communicates best via email, as she is normally always in the cake room working, and that worked great for us. The day of, we had ordered a cake and a full dessert bar. This was a favorite part of the wedding, and the part that everyone was going to enjoy...the sweets. She did not disappoint. Everything was set up beautifully, smelled great, and tasted even better. I will admit I snuck a cherry fruit pie covered in chocolate before the wedding, and do not regret it for a minute. So many guests asked who we used, and we truly hope to help her business grow as much as possible, because it is obvious she put her heart and soul, and love into what she does.
Tracey made our wedding cake and it was by far so much more than we expected! She made she knew what we wanted, and it looked far better in person than I ever expected. Everyone ra...
ved over it at my reception, and although we had slightly more servings than what we needed for how many guests we had, we still ran out of cake because people went back to get seconds. Will definitely continue to use Cakes to Remember, and loved the experience!!!! Would very highly recommend to everyone!!!
Tracey was a delight to work with for my partner and myself. She was cheerful, knowledge, has been in the industry for decades, and created the most beautiful and delicious cake fo...
r our wedding. All of our guests raved, and it was exactly what we wanted.
Met with Tracey to go over our wedding details and she came up with a beautiful cake design for our 185 guests, and great flavors and fillings. She was a drive from our location, b...
ut with the experience, and the pricing that we could not even believe, we could not be more pleased. Tracey was our 4th cake tasting - some cakes were too dry, a cake decorator that made us feel like we were bothering her, and the others so expensive! I can say our wedding cake was one of the cheapest things we paid for, way below what we had budgeted, which left us room to use that money elsewhere. And the cake was so good and beautiful!!!! It truly was the highlight of my day...minus the new husband of course! lol
We could not have been happier with Cakes to Remember and Tracey. She truly has an amazing talent, not only with cake and desserts, but with people. She is always smiling, makes yo...
u feel welcome, and comfortable. There was some tension at my wedding. I guess Tracey could feel it when she arrived. She walked right in, smiling, happy, talking to everyone, and offering to help with other items way outside of her job description. She gave suggestions for table centerpieces, floral setups, calmed down some of my family, and kept doing it again while smiling and pleasant the whole time. At the end, she came and gave me a huge, told me to have the most wonderful day, and to be happy with myself, that I have no control over others around me, but I do have control of how I feel inside. It brought tears to my eyes, and is probably the statement that made my day. Her cake was amazing! The design was gorgeous! It was so moist and flavorful. If I have any friends getting married in the future I will immediately be telling them to go to her. I cannot say I feel that sense of loyalty to anyone else involved in my wedding.
That's it...Cakes to Remember made our day!! They made our rehearsal dinner cake, grooms cake, wedding cake, wedding desserts, dessert box guest favors, dessert trays for the brida...

Our wedding cake maker (a big storefront bakery which is local), cancelled on us the week of. We could not believe it! Someone had already recommended Tracey, but I had wanted a "s...
tore." What a mistake!! I emailed Tracey, and she made everything - and it was even better than we had expected and tasted so much fresher than the bakery we had gone to. A disaster turned into the biggest blessing for our wedding!!!!

e and desserts - and not only how they tasted but how they looked!! We had a rather large wedding - 185. Could not have been happier!! I have no clue how she does it - I know she has lots of kids, and I know she does all of the orders start to finish because she wants to make sure everything is exactly as you want it. I think she said she's been licensed as a bakery for 12 years, but she chooses to keep working at home. She did not say why, but a colleague of mine told me she had read an article on her, and that she has a young child who is disabled. She is amazing!!! You want to go to her!!!
Tracey was a true joy and takes pride in what she does. Her cakes are delicious and she was extremely flexible in making our vision for a cutting cake and cupcake tower come to lif...
e! Tracey is difficult to get a hold of, however. Other than this, I really enjoyed working with her!
I hired her a year in advance and did the cake tasting, the cakes are very moist and tasty. The communication skills are seriously lacking. You have to email and call 3-4 times bef...
ore you ever get a response. It is rather concerning when you are on the week of the wedding with no response. Also when we got the cake she didn't leave the boxes so we could box up the topper cake and the extra cupcakes. I am also pretty sure we didn't get the correct flavor for the topper. I am sad to say I am not impressed like I was at first when we met and I wouldn't recommend her.
Very disappointing! I made a June cake tasting appointment in April, and made it clear that we lived 2 hours away. The morning of the appointment, I received a message saying how a...
nother bride has to move her wedding to that day, and asked if we could possibly move our time back or reschedule.
I called, left a voicemail, and sent messages that were not even read that day! The bride was already on the road heading to see the wedding venue, but was still willing to go later in the day. However, I never received a response.
Almost a week later, still no response so I asked if it was possible just to deliver samples. The message was finally read, but there was no response.
This was very unprofessional! We understand that accommodating another bride on her wedding day was important, however you cannot disregard your other possible clients! It is very disappointing that we the customer were still willing to try and be accommodating, but the vendor wouldn’t even respond!
Tracey at Cakes to Remember is absolutely amazing!!!! Her business is located a little further out, but trust me, it is worth the trip - or do what we did - book your cake with her...
through email and paypal and schedule your tasting closer to the wedding date. All of our friends are getting married, and we have not tasted any wedding cake as good as hers - it was amazing!!! People are still talking about the cake more than my dress weeks later!!!! And her prices, for the work she does, are amazing!!! Don't look any further!!
Positives: Our cake looked perfect and tasted amazing. We had multiple guests comment that the cake was one of the best wedding cakes they had ever had.
Negatives: Tracey is very ...
hard to get ahold of. It got to the point where, on the wedding day, we were hoping that the cake would be there, but weren't positive. There had been a hurricane and a lot of places had lost power, so we were checking in with our vendors to make sure everything was okay, and we never could get ahold of her. I'm also not entirely sure that the flavors we got are what we asked for, but I can't say for sure because I didn't see most of it. (The piece of cake that I ended up getting was plain chocolate with buttercream, but that wasn't one of our choices. Still delicious though!!)
If you want to eat the greatest cake EVER, then call Cakes to Remember. Ask for the key lime. It'll change your life. Her cooking and decorating skills are exquisite. You will not...
be disappointed. She went above and beyond the day of the wedding. I was concerned about it melting in the heat and even thought, she was 100% certain that it would be fine, she agreed to come back later to ease my mind. Most vendors wouldn't have done that the day of. I've never seen a wedding cake devoured so quickly. I'm only sad that I didn't get a bite of each layer. :)
I love Tracey!!!! Our wedding cake was so moist and delicious. Our guest couldn't stop talking about how beautiful the cake & cupcakes were. I'd use Tracey again. Awesome!!!
Tracey was wonderful to work with from start to finish!! A couple of months prior to our wedding day, she welcomed my husband, myself and my parents into her home for a wonderful c...
ake tasting experience. She was so professional, kind, and answered all of our questions. The tasting was absolutely delicious and we were so excited to have her make our wedding cake! On our wedding day, the cake was even more beautiful than we ever could’ve imagined. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about it and it was one of our favorite touches to our big day. Tracey’s cakes were priced incredibly reasonably and we are so happy that we found her. If you’re looking for a cake baker to make a gorgeous cake that tastes amazing, look no further than Cakes to Remember! We were so thrilled with our cake and couldn’t recommend her more!
