We have used her
for cakes for many years and she never disappoints. The most fun & taste cakes that we look forward to ordering on every special occasion. When I knew what I wanted from my grooms cake, I knew she was the only one that I could be sure & count on-that it would be fabulous and it was… It was one of the big hits and highlights of the night
Thank you so much for making such a wonderful cake for our special day and I look so forward to our next cake with you!
The cake was exactly what I had envisioned! I was referred to Erika from a family friend, she recommended the white chocolate cake, and it did not disappoint! I really appreciate the attention to detail and creative design on my cake and would definitely recommend and use her again.
Both cakes turned out amazing, especially the grooms cake. The way both tasted was very good, however for my red velvet cake I wish it was cream cheese frosting over butter cream. Erika was easy to work with and really brought the cakes to life!
Erika gave me a call after I texted her telling her how excited I was to see the cake for my daughter's Quinceanera to let me know she had made a mistake and would not be delivering the cake that we agreed on and paid for. She apologized and agreed to fully refund the cake. She did not offer any solutions for the day of the event. She gave me stories on why she couldn't pay the money back immediately, and because I had used her previously, I tried to give her the benefit of the doubt and offered several options to resolve. but kept giving me excuses about the refund, and after a while just stopped responding. I find it hard to believe that someone would take money paid for a service, not provide the service and then completely disappear.
Firstly, the cakes and desserts that Erika bakes are delicious! Very moist and every flavor tastes good! Erika delivered the cake and desserts on time and everything was exactly as we ordered it!
However, Erika’s customer service wasn’t as great. We were planning our wedding from out of town, so we only had limited times in the DFW to take care of wedding stuff. There were a couple times that we contacted Erika to schedule our cake tasting for when we were going to be in town, and she didn’t respond timely enough for us to come. When we finally got to do the cake tasting, Erika just dropped off the samples to us at a Starbucks and left. We were a bit disappointed by this (especially since we were already booked and paid in full), because we were expecting our tasting to be more of an experience and have some fun doing it.
Additionally, she seemed a little bit disorganized. There were a few times I had to follow-up on emails to get a response, and I had to repeat things from prior emails.
What an amazing cake! I’ll never forget wanting more. Daddy would not stop thinking over how great that cake was! He is a hard man 🤫and wanted to take one last piece. Luckily great Uncle Tom had his insulin. Or we would’ve had a wedding and a funeral in the planning 😆Oh and our son-in- law Stefan’s choo choo train grooms cake was off the rails!! Lol. But special thanks to Erika for pulling this one out for me!! I’m still trying to find a way to show you how joyful your tireless efforts have been. But I’ll certainly contact you in the future.
Best tasting chocolate we’d ever had!!! I had 4 tastings before a friend told me about Confections in Cake. My mom and I were just about to settle but SO GLAD we decided to call for a tasting with Erika! She made it quick and easy and it always feels the best when you don’t just settle!! Thanks for a great addition to my happy day.
We absolutely LOVED the beautiful cake that was the centerpiece for our ceremony! Special Thanks to Confections in Cake for the most tasty compliment to our night! We tried a few before we decided but yours was our first choice, from the beginning. Thank you very much.
The best EVER! My aunt Marne always made the best cakes in the world!! Especially for special occasions with our family. She passed away in 2018. 😢 Sadly she’ll be missed. When I was planning our wedding, the cake was the part that I was most distraught about. I know I told you this but I think it bears repeating now that you made me our family so happy. Confections in cake far exceeded all of our expectations! And they were high. I watched Marne put in so much effort when I was little. I’m soooo glad that there still are people in the world that take joy in what they do. You made our day so special. I’m sure that Marne would approve too! Thanks Erika!
The venue was really great and I appreciate your guidance! It was my first wedding to plan and I found out that I was a little too tough on my MOH last time. But live and learn right? Lol. But We Will Never Forget how great the CAKE looked and tasted! Also, thanks to my mom we still have some in the freezer!! I may have snuck a slice out since our special night...Thank you soooo much, Erika! I’m definitely going to call you for Brads birthday. Shhhh
Erika, it’s Steph. You did such an amazing job so I’m leaving you the review I told you that you deserve. We loved your design and I know Steven wasn’t the easiest to please but that’s what makes him so great!! Thanks for helping put both of our fears of a bad day to rest when it came to the cake!!!! You were so sweet and exceeded our expectations. You added to our happy day in a way that is hard to describe in the way that you deserve. We still talk about it. Just. Thanks girl.
We ordered both our grooms cake and wedding cake. I ordered well in advance and went through the details and made sure we agreed on the style. We asked for a referee jersey, and it was exactly as expected. Unfortunately, my cake was missing a few minor details including pearl decorations around the top tier and a cake stand. I didn’t notice it until we were cutting the cake. The cake tasted great, and it looked very nice, but I was disappointed that I’d taken the time to make sure we agreed on all the details, and it wasn’t as expected.
If you order far in advance, I’d call Erika and make sure your are clear on the detail a few days before the wedding, even if it’s written on her description she’ll provide you. When I contacted Erika, she confirmed the missing details, but there was nothing to be done at that point.
She did a wonderful job. The cake was not only beautiful but tasted good.
Erika made our wedding cake and groom's cake for us! Both of the cakes looked and tasted fantastic. We especially got a lot of compliments from guests on how much they loved our wedding cake specifically. Also, the groom's cake Erika made was made to look like a picture we gave her of a duck, since my husband loves to hunt. She level of detail she put into crafting the faux duck out of rice krispie treat was amazing, and she really made it look just like the picture we sent her! We were so happy with how BOTH of our cakes turned out! We are really happy we went with Confections in Cake for our wedding day!
Erika did an amazing job! I wish I could post the pictures, our cakes were gorgeous, and my husband's grooms cake was a robot! The cakes tasted delicious, mine was white, and his was red velvet! Perfection!
First of all - Erika bakes delicious cakes. Just the best. She was easy to work with my cake and cupcakes were delicious. We were out of state (live in Florida but had our reception in Ft. Worth, TX). The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is because our wedding cake was vanilla instead of red velvet... we didn’t realize until we cut into it. It tasted good so wasn’t a huge deal just was expecting red velvet since that’s our favorite. But other than that everyone raved about the cupcakes and everything looked gorgeous.
Erika did an excellent job with our "wedding cupcakes." She made these beautiful succulent cupcakes that were equally delicious. Very professional and arrived on time the day of the wedding.
Cake was great! However it almost didn't make it on time. Luckily I was none the wiser on the day of, but after hearing this news, I am very upset. The Baker arrived about 10 minutes before our guests arrived at the reception. I understand that Saturday is a busy day but time management is important. The venue opened at 2 pm and was ready for vendors, which was discussed with the Baker. It was our understanding that she was going to arrive well before the start of our reception at 6 pm. She cut it very close. The Baker also did not provide extra frosting for the florist in case she messed up when placing the flowers, which is very stressful when the cake arrives so last minute.
Erika did an amazing job for our wedding. The wedding cake delicious and looked amazing and the TCU horned frog groom cake turned out great! I would highly recommend Erika for anyone looking for a baker for their wedding.
Erika did such an amazing job with our cake! All our guest loved it and it looked just the way we imagined it. She was able to provide Gluten Free Cake pops for myself and some guest that have sensitivity and they tasted like the real thing! She was quick to respond to all our questions and very easy to work with. Thank you so much!!!
Late in reporting, but 1/29/2017 was magical for my husband and I, being a older couple, we wanted the best and that is what we got with Erika. My cake was as ordered and hubbies elephant, "Big Al" groom cake took the cake so to say! Everyone is still talking about who made the cakes, "Confections In Cake" and thank you again Erika. ROLL TIDE!
Erik is amazing! She won't let you down. 🍰👍🏻🙌🏼
Erika absolutely blew us away! Her incredible attention to detail and her ability to bring my daughter and son-in-law's visions to life resulted in not only the most beautiful... but the most delicious cake we've ever had! Every guest that tried it called us to rave about it and said it was the best wedding cake and groom's cake they have ever had. Erika is a delight to work with and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an out-of-this-world "cake lady"!!!
Erika did our bride and grooms cake. Everything I said, she grew on and made the most amazing cakes Ive ever seen. They tasted amazing too! I will be using her for all cakes from here on out. She did a great job on our custom cake and even got my husbands custom stickers edible to make his cake even more custom and special to us! I definitely recommend Erika!
Erika is by far the best cake vendor I have ever seen. She is so incredibly talented when it comes to her design. Not to mention her cakes are by far the best tasting cakes that I have EVER had!!!!!!! I still have people raving about how amazing the cake was!! She was able to put my vision of what I wanted into everything, and far surpassed what I wanted. She is truly outstanding!
Erika created exactly the cakes the bride and groom envisioned! The cakes were delicious!!! Hardly any leftover!! I highly recommend Confections in Cake and will definitely work with Erika again if the need arises! She was very timely and did additional floral decorations when she delivered the cake. Thanks!
Erika was amazing for my big day! She certainly delivered not only our delicious wedding and groom cake but never once did I have to worry about the logistics. As I walked into the reception hall I saw my beautiful detailed wedding cake set out and neatly areamged just the way I had imagined. Confections in Cake is the way to go, thank you Erika!!
Erika did a one of a kind custom locomotive cake for our wedding and let me say...it was absolutely amazing!! Not only did it look awesome it was so delicious! Our bridal cake was just as beautiful! I was really hoping we would have extra cake, but I think everyone loved it so much we didn't even hardly have any left over!
Erika Bridges is a Star! I first saw her work at a friend's wedding in December 2015 and knew that she had to create our son's groom's cake. Our son and daughter in law met working for a wildlife park and share a love of animals. He cares for and swims with tigers--thus a tiger cake! I sent Erika a couple of photos and she created a masterpiece! Our guests raved about the cake which was beautiful and tasted very fresh and moist. I communicated with Erika very easily by phone and email. We actually met for the first time when she delivered the cake to our venue. I highly recommend Confections In Cake and look forward to working with Erika again when we have another wedding or event!
I wish the cakes would have looked closer to the pictures I provided. I don't think we got our money's worth for what we paid for them based on appearance but the flavors were spot on.
If you want a custom cake that tastes as perfect as it looks, Erika is your girl! We wanted a very very detailed grooms cake with our college mascot and it was so perfect that no one even wanted to cut into it and there were many instagram posts of it!! Lucky for us we have a little bit leftover because it tastes just as good as it looks. The whole process working with Erika was so easy and I can't wait to get my future cakes from her.
Erika did an AMAZING job on both my bridal cake and the grooms cake, I couldn't have asked for better! They tasted so good and were picture perfect. I highly recommend her to anyone in the DFW area!! She is excellent and the cakes were above and beyond!
A great find! Erika made things easy for us to meet up, whipped up a design to our liking and a great price to match. We were very pleased with her beautiful work and never had to worry. Things went without a hitch!
Erika did a fantastic job on our wedding cake! Not only did it look amazing, it tasted fabulous! I do not like fondant at all, but the cake I wanted had to use fondant. The way she makes her fondant is unlike any other I have ever tried! It was more than just edible, it was delicious. My cake was red velvet and white chocolate! Both were so good! Everyone loved the cake! I would most definitely recommend Erika with Confections In Cake to EVERYONE!!
Let me start off by saying Erika was AMAZING! My husband and I had a very specific vision for what we wanted our wedding cake to look like and Erika not only created our vision, she made it better than we even imagined. Our wedding was in Colleyville, Texas, but we lived in Virginia so all of our planning with Erika was done over the phone and via email, but even though we only met in person once, she treated me just as seriously as if we were there locally. Additionally the cake not only LOOKED perfect, it also tasted marvelously. WE had three different flavors, and while I normally don't care for red velvet (we got it because it is my husband's favorite) I devoured two pieces of it. We ended up having some extra cake to take home with us because of guests not showing up, but even a week later when we had some of the cake it was still somehow really moist and fresh tasting (we had refrigerated it though).
We had actually spoken to over a dozen different cakeries about the cake, however each person we spoke to didn't seem to care about what WE wanted. Most people we spoke to just kept telling us the reasons the design we wanted wouldn't work, or how it would be unattractive, or they just weren't excited to be involved. Erika was the complete opposite though. As soon as I told her what we wanted (a three tier cake with one layer Kingdom Hearts, one with Harvest Mon, and one with Legend of Zelda), she immediately sounded excited, she started envisioning how she could make the three tiers blend together, and even started suggesting things that I didn't consider, like having the feather from Harvest Moon or the Ocarina from Legend of Zelda be 3D. She is by far the only person in DFW that I recommend, and her pricing is much more reasonable than most of the other cake makers.
If you want to see the cake from my wedding this is a link to the pictures of the cake. If you haven't already though, I strongly encourage you check out the official website of Confections in Cake. You won't regret it, and you'll have a great time actually working with Erika. Out of all the vendors I had for my wedding, Erika is the one I enjoyed the most.

Erika made the vision I had for my wedding cake come to life! I wanted specific lace to match my dress and flowers cascading but with a suttle touch. She did jusutt that and more than what I expected. The taste of the cake was amazing too! Everyone still raves about how "good the cake was" so good that I decided to make second order for my daughters first birthday. It was just as tasty and the detail of the cake was perfect. Not to mention my "oh oh" moment when I forgot to let her know I changed my daughters birthday party date... I mentioned to her the day before and she came through for me and it was beautiful!!! Everything I wanted. I will forever be thankful for that. The best part of it all is that it comes from a person that is passionate about making people happy in making their visions come true and establishing relationships with her clients! She will forever be my "cake lady" and a friend. Thank you Erika!
Erika was wonderful to work with! There was a slight miscommunication with our meeting, but she went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied. Not only was she extremely professional and easy to work with, the cake she made for us was absolutely gorgeous and tasted incredible! I would highly recommend going with Confections in Cake (Erika) for your wedding.
Erika is professional and amazingly talented. When we asked her to create a replica of the NHL Stanley Cup for our wedding cake, she was so excited. It came out so beautiful and perfect that it brought me to tears. I can't even tell you how many compliments we received. Definitely one of the coolest parts of our wedding. She also made my bridal shower cake on short notice as well! I've recommended her to EVERYONE in my life because not only are her cakes gorgeous - delicious doesn't begin to cover it. She's truly found her gift in life and I hope many others are able to experience it for themselves.
Erika is extraordinary. My groom wanted a very detailed cake of a specific pair of boots and she absolutely nailed it. All night people were talking about his cake and how realistic it looked. Furthermore, the cake itself was delicious. We got almond and strawberry and people raved about these 2 flavors. Erika was easy to work with and well-priced for her product and delivery (especially compared to Dallas-based companies of similar caliber).
Erika was so easy to work with. She designed our came with my husband and me when we had our tasting, and it was even better than I imagined. We barely got to taste it at the wedding - but luckily my mom saved us each a piece for when we got back from the honeymoon. It was PERFECTION. Can't wait for our one year anniversary! Whenever I need a cake, I'm calling Erika. She's the best. Period.
I was married on 08/08/15 and had Confections in Cake make my wedding cake. She was the 3rd cake vendor I had met with and as soon as I tasted her sample cakes I knew she was the winner. We booked at the end of our meeting. Her prices are comparable to most high quality vendors, but the taste is so much better than anyone else I had tried. Her cakes are beautiful and she is so easy to work with. She allowed me to make several changes to the design along the way and she even sent me sample picuters of a ruffle I wanted to try around the cake.
Beautiful cake, amazing taste, great quality for your money & would definitely recommend.
The cakes tasted amazing and they looked even more amazing. The only reason that I gave a 4 is because the cake stands did not make it to the venue with the cakes, so my cakes were just on the table. I am not sure what the going rate for cakes is so I cannot say it was a great value or not. I think we ended up with servings for 150-200 people. I tried to post a picture but it would not let me. I would and will use (for our anniversary) Confections is Cake again! Erika did amazing!!!

This cake was delicious and everyone at the wedding loved it. I was not the biggest fan of the price, but I had heard good things about the company so I went with them. She was convenient to meet up with and easy to work with. Can't wait to eat my top layer on our anniversary!
I'm not the type to brag but my wedding was awesome and my cake was the show stopper (next to my dress)! I brought Erika a picture from Pinterest of a $1200 cake with gold bows and 2 dozen roses! She sketched out my cake by hand right there in front of us, it was amazing! My cake was even better than the picture I brought her! She was on-time and available every time we reached out. My florist fell through on my flowers and didn't provide the roses like he was supposed to but Erika worked with what she had and it was incredible:-) my husband stills talks about how good the cake was; can't wait for our anniversary to eat the topper!
We had a strawberry flavored cake with fresh flowers on the top, it was amazing. Not only did it look great but it tasted great too. I'm using this service again and will hopefully use it again in the future.
Erika did an amazing job! Grooms cake and main cake looked just how we wanted and it tasted amazing. We recieved so many compliments about how delicious the cakes were.
Erika's cake was delicious! Everyone loved it, the price was reasonable for 225 guests. We got exactly what we wanted, would definitely recommend!
Erika was awesome to work with. She met with me and worked out exactly what I needed. Her cakes looked and tasted absolutely amazing! Will definitely be using her in the future!
Erika and Confections in Cake were great! Easy to work with! Cakes are not only delish on the inside but perfection on the outside! My husband chose a college stadium for his grooms cake and it couldn't have been more perfect! He didn't want to cut it!! Wedding cake was beautiful. I am still getting compliments on both cakes weeks later! I highly recommend Confections in Cake for any occasion!!
From the moment my daughter and I met Erika, we knew that we made a good choice. She is professional, well prepared, extremely talented and just a very nice person. Erica's website represents her ability to provide just about any type of cake requested. We were 100% satisfied with both the bride's cake and the groom's cake. The cakes were designed exactly as we envisioned and they both tasted delicious! Thank you, Erika....you're the best!!!
Erika did an excellent job on our wedding cake. I could not have been more pleased. The sprinkle wedding cake was exactly what I had envisioned. It looked and tasted fabulous! All of the guests raved about the cake as well. Thank you Erika!!
Erika designed and made both the Bride and Groom's cake for our June wedding. It is rare to find a combination of beautiful design and delicious cake, but she has mastered the concept. Everything looked and tasted just as we had hoped/drawn on paper.
The wedding cake itself tasted wonderful but the cake was smaller than the one we put in the contract. Plus apparently the cake did not feed the total amount of people stated on the contract. Majority of our guest did not get a piece of cake. We paid for about 136 slices we had a total of about 130 guest. The cake tasted great but to cost was overpriced. Plus she charges $100 to deliver on Friday's.
I ordered cupcakes and a cutting cake for my wedding. Erika was so quick and easy to work with. I had absolutely no problems with ordering exactly what I wanted. When I saw my cupcake tower for the first time, I was so so so happy! The colors were perfect and I loved the cute flowers on the top of each cupcake. The overall presentation looked wonderful and the TASTE was even BETTER. The cake and cupcakes were so moist and the frosting was superb -just the right amount of sweetness and a good amount of it, not too much, not too little. I love cupcakes which is why I chose Confections in Cake in the first place. I only wish I ordered more for myself. I ended up eating quite a few myself and had a handful of left overs, but I would definitely order EXTRA next time. Trust me!
Confections in Cake was without a doubt one of the easiest decisions we made during our wedding planning process. A few years
ago, they provided the cakes at my best friend’s wedding and I remember how delicious and beautiful those cakes were. As soon as I shot an e-mail over to Erika she immediately responded and we
booked an appointment for cake testing. Cake testing was probably one of the hardest decisions, only because everything tasted so delicious! Erika was easy to work with and brought to life what I had envisioned my wedding cake to look like. Last minute, we decided to add a grooms cake and she did not hesitate to make that happen. She even personally delivered and set up our cake which made that one less thing we had to worry about on such a busy day! We are so glad that we had the experience of working with Erika and highly recommend her for any wedding or special event.
I was so pleased with Confections in cake. They made our vision come to life. Erika made it extremely easy for myself, the bride and groom. The service and product was excellent. I would use her again with no question. I highly recommend Confections! One of the highlights of our wedding was our beautiful Groomscake, which was truly a work of art!
I could not have asked for a better wedding cake! We sent Erika a picture of the cake we both liked and told her what our theme was. Every detail on the cake she made for us was absolutely perfect, and I was almost in tears to see the cake I'd been imagining for so long! Not only was the cake beautiful, but it was TASTY!! All our guests were talking about it!
Erika was very quick to respond to any email we sent her way, she had lots of input and was very flexible with our budget. Would I recommend Confections in Cake? YES!! A million times yes!!
Thank you, Erika! You were amazing!! :)
First of all, I just want to say, I am a dessert SNOB. My husband is a foodie, but I am all about the desserts--so finding a cake was very important to me! I met with several individuals and Erika was the last one I met. The best truly was saved for last! Not only is Erika very professional, laid back, and an all around fun individual, but she is talented to boot! Her portfolio is stunning, but she was game for any new ideas. She was focused on what my husband and I wanted more than anything. After our first tasting, she reached out to ensure we were really happy and wanted to make sure she got me the fillings I wanted. She even met up with me again to make sure the flavors I chose were exactly what I wanted. Let's talk about her flavors...I went with the white chocolate with a raspberry jelly filling and I really can't put into words how delicious this was. I actually ordered a big cake thinking there was no way we would eat all of it and I'd get to take some home. WRONG. I've decided Erika's cakes are too good to have leftovers---there wasn't ANYTHING left!! People LOVED it! I've actually given her information to at least five friends already who were raving about how great the cake was. It was moist and the icing was perfect, which is hard on a big cake! Erika was timely and responsive on everything and we are so grateful for her service! Thank you Erika! Confections in Cake was one of the best decisions I made along the way!!
My daughter wedding cake was delicious and beautiful!
I had the white chocolate with buttercream frosting for my wedding cake. It was the best wedding cake I have ever had. Erika was great to work with.
