Chef Shop Baking

nal cake design was simple as pie- or in this case, cake! She had also worked with our venue, Loose Mansion, many times in the past so her communication with the coordinators went seamlessly. The cake we received was the crown jewel of our vintage-inspired wedding.

!

. Her tasting box offering to pick your wedding cake is fantastic and gives you so many options to personalize just what you would dream of. She also has a wonderful selection of additional desserts outside of cakes to accompany. One of our favorites were her macarons! Her quality, price and customer service are unmatched and she her ability to design and make beautiful desserts is second to none!

area that were all wonderful but after we had Nancy's taste box we knew she was the winner, it was just a matter of deciding what flavors! We chose 2 - strawberry cake with chocolate ganache filling and lemon cake with raspberry filling - both delicious! Nancy is not only a talented baker (and chef) but is also so easy to work with and has very reasonable pricing. She also has a plethora of cake stands you can rent and generously baked a separate smaller 1-year anniversary cake for us to freeze, free of charge. Overall a wonderful experience!

sponsive, the tasting box prior to the wedding was a fun treat (everything was amazing) and our anniversary cake she made us was so special and unexpected! Would definitely recommend!

sting, we knew we had to go with Nancy! The mini desserts were a big hit, and the cake itself was both beautiful and delicious!

tifully and so delicious (white cake with raspberry filling and white buttercream frosting!). And the small sweets were delicious too. Absolutely recommend!

th us on providing gluten free red velvet mini cupcakes and dairy free macarons so that all of our guests could enjoy a sweet treat. The macarons were amazing, I’ll definitely be ordering more from Chef Shop Bakery any chance I get. Nancy was so great to work with, very communicative and thoughtful throughout the entire process. I am so appreciative of Nancy’s ability to flawlessly carry out the vision for our special day. I can’t recommend Chef Shop Bakery enough!

y was great to work with, and she did a great job designing the Whataburger cake of my Texan husband's dreams! We would recommend Chef Stark to anyone planning a wedding in the KC area.

everything turned out spectacularly. Highly recommended!!

up when you get to the final product. But this was not the case with Chef Nancy’s work. It was delicious!!! she is so kind, honest, professional, and a true creative. WE WERE SO HAPPY when we saw our cake. genuinely we were giddy with excitement. It was a beautiful and yummy addition to our day. We are going to have to order some anniversary cakes for the future:)

standing. They followed my design notes perfectly and we got exactly what we wanted.

sserts were delicious.

ughtful. She was very communicative throughout the whole process. We had some guests who were gluten free, nut free, AND dairy free, and she was very helpful in creating an alternative cake for those loved ones. We so appreciated how thoughtful she was and our guests all raved about the look and taste of the cake. Would absolutely recommend her- she's amazing!

ly executed our vision and was sweet enough to include a free anniversary cake tier. She was very patient when we changed our mind on our cake design and always responded quickly to our messages. Her prices were also very reasonable for the amazing service she provides! We cannot recommend Nancy enough!

u can pull out her one-year anniversary cake tier–it’s that good. Chef Nancy also operates so seamlessly and professionally: When we did our tasting, the icings and cakes were perfectly packaged in individual containers so we could mix and match to find the perfect combination of flavors. Because of the personalization, we were able to customize our wedding cake to taste exactly the way we wanted. Nancy was incredibly open to and receptive of all of our design inspiration as well.

y talented pastry chef! We favored a dessert bar with a dozen different treats rather than a wedding cake, and she offered several tantalizing options to choose among, from tarts and cookies to cupcakes and mignardises, including some Gluten Free options. All were delicious, without exception. She was prompt with delivery, communicative at all stages, and a breeze to work with. Her policy on COVID delays was compassionate, her advanced tasting was generous and also reasonable, and her end-products were fantastic. My wife and I cannot endorse her strongly enough. Thank you, Nancy!

ler treats and they were an absolute hit! They were all gone within minutes. If I were to do it again I’d order less cake and more treats. Everything was delicious and beautiful! Thank you, Nancy!

was perfectly moist and flavorful along with being perfectly decorated we could have asked for a better wedding cake! We highly recommend Nancy Stark!!

, cupcakes and cookies. We had so many amazing flavors and options! We wanted to include our animals in the big day somehow, so Nancy created the most amazing and adorable cookie cakes based off of photos I sent her. Everything was so beautifully presented and so yummy.

rything we were hoping for. Nancy is also just so incredible to work with. She is responsive and truly cares about helping to make your day special.

p! Our wedding was in Lake Ozark, MO, and she was able to pack up our (fake) cake, the real one, and plenty of deserts safely for our wedding planner to transport by car 2.5 hours away, that's no small feat! On top of that, she's a ton of fun to hang out with in her awesome kitchen for your tasting!

ention HER CAKE IS DELICIOUS - especially the almond flavor!!! We went for a tasting and it was hard to narrow down which flavors we wanted and were lucky enough to have quite a few on our wedding day. I only had a bite of our cake cutting because the day goes so fast, so make sure you make time to get a slice of her cake. Thank you Nancy!

led, committed to our vision, communicative, creative and most important: baked and delivered the best darn cake we could have imagined. She made the process easy (as cake?) and her prices are absolutely reasonable, given what you get in return. We cannot speak highly enough about her. Don’t look elsewhere!

ds and family members who had used her, and she delivered tenfold! I didn’t care about having some extravagantly designed multitier cake, I just wanted a simple cutting cake, with a lot of treats to back it up! We had three different flavors of her “kitchen cake” (carrot/caramel filling, chocolate/espresso filling, and red velvet/white chocolate filling), sea salt chocolate chip cookies (TO DIE FOR), and per my special request as they’re my all-time favorite… cinnamon rolls! On top of all of that we also had donuts, and I’m not exaggerating when I say there wasn’t a crumb of any of it left. We received a ton of compliments on how delicious it all was. She also was so sweet and accommodating with providing us a separate anniversary cake, and even some dairy-free cupcakes for my lactose-intolerant MOH free of charge. Highly highly recommend Nancy!

chedule and offer a cake tasting. I loved that we were able to choose multiple cake flavors and icings to try at the tasting.  She even allowed us to bring our parents along to try her cakes, which other vendors did not.  At the tasting she did not pressure us to make any decisions and really allowed us to mix and match all of the flavors and icings.  She even had my dad's approval, which is hard to come by! We chose Nancy because she was genuine, willing to draw our cake design on the spot, and her cakes tasted ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! We all left the tasting feeling good about her being our cake vendor.  Her cake was the most anticipated thing about our wedding! A few months before the wedding, I changed the design of our cake.  She was patient with us as we wanted the 5-tier cake to have flowers in between each tier. She truly listened to our request for the design and worked with our floral vendor Hitched. On the day of the wedding, I couldn't have been more happy with how the cake turned out.  It was better than I imagined and she really made the cake of my dreams.  Guests were in awe of the design and how awesome it tasted.  We purchased personalized cake boxes for guests to take slices home.  However, I'm happy to report that they were not used because there wasn't a single slice left! Nancy truly knocked it out of the park with her professionalism, design, and expertise!

ot a big cake fan, she created mini pumpkin pies for us to serve as well! Not one little pie was left! Visually stunning and the taste simply beyond words! Thank you Nancy for making the day special!

with me with my endless emails and questions lol. She knew I wanted the cakes to look just right and she did an INCREDIBLE job. They not only looked amazing but tasted sooo so so good. I can't wait to dig into our anniversary cake in the freezer :). I would highly recommend hiring Nancy! She goes above and beyond!

cake that perfectly captured our vision and made such a statement at our wedding! She was very easy to work with, organized, and such a great communicator. The tasting she hosted for us was a wonderful experience -- so professional & well put-together but also very personal. She has a ton of beautiful cake stands to rent for a reasonable price. She set up our cake table at our venue thoughtfully, and it looked beautiful. She gives her couples an extra anniversary cake-topper for free, packaged up in a neat little box for us to keep in our freezer. We cannot recommend Nancy more highly! She's incredible! We'll absolutely using her services for events we host in the future!

e the vision we had for our cake. All of our guests LOVED the cake, there wasn't a piece left at the end of the night! We also had some macarons for our gluten-free guests which were delicious!

exactly what we envisioned. We chose 3 different flavors and the guests loved them all. There was no cake left at the end of the night! Nancy is great to work with as well and is very talented. You will love her work.

veryone being extremely full from the meal, everyone went for the cake because it was so delicious!

dding. Everything was delicious!

ions and lots of flavors to choose from. After we had the cake figured out she gave us so many great options for small tart size treats to supplement the cake and complement a homemade cookie table our mom's were creating. Everything she offered was excellent. We picked the tiramisu, caramel tarts, mini cheese cakes and apple tarts, and everything was excellent. Our guests raved about every single one, but my groom and I didn't even see the apple tarts they were gone so fast! Very few of the other treats were left at the end of the nights as well, and we got so many compliments. We highly recommend working with Nancy! She made everything so easy, not to mention delicious. If you're looking for the perfect Cake/Sweets baker, Nancy is your gal!

ing. We did cake tastings with 3 other prominent KC bakers, Nancy was the best… no one came close. We challenged Nancy with our cake design and she exceeded all our expectations. The wedding cake had the KC skyline and art deco designs. One of the groom’s cakes was the Starship Enterprise and the other groom’s cake was a humpback whale. They were almost too perfect to cut, but once we did, the cakes were delicious! We would recommend Chef Nancy to anyone and everyone with dessert needs.

ully. I had an idea of how I wanted the cakes to look and they looked even better than I could have imagined. Her sugar art is wonderful. Her banana cake with caramel frosting and her vanilla cake with raspberry filling and vanilla buttercream were my favorite. She is amazing and a delight to work with.

lented - both cakes were perfect!

avor, texture, and design…which seemed impossible to find until my florist told me about Nancy. She was great to work with. She was responsive to all my requests and questions about my allergen, set up a cake tasting that was a highlight of our wedding planning, and delivered a gorgeous, sinfully delicious cake (not to mention blueberry and key lime tarts that I still dream about). My guests (who regularly eat gluten) were blown away that all of my desserts were free of gluten, and they ate every last crumb.

ry easy to communicate with and did an amazing job!

p of our cake in a year. Nancy also made us some very special cookies that look like our 2 dogs! We were so happy to be able to include them on our special day. Nancy was a dream to work with and I would highly recommend her! Prices are great and cake is even better! Thank you Nancy!!!!!!

my husband and I made our way around the guests to say hi, and we weren't even halfway through and I looked at the dessert bar and they were all gone!! Luckily someone had saved some for us. We had about 240 guests and had ordered 350 pies. So my only regret was not ordering more! She was so easy to work with and I will probably only order all my future cakes/desserts from her from now on. Love, love, love. Thanks Nancy!

us, we had a hard time narrowing it down. She was able to give us the cake of our dreams for a good price and our guests loved it!
