Cortney was an exceptional baker and artist for our wedding back in July! She had a spectacular assortment of flavors and they were delicious. She really helped make the idea of what we wanted for our wedding cake and cupcakes a reality. I couldn’t have been happier and look forward to working with her for other events in the future!
Cortney was amazing to work with! I can't recommend her enough. We received so many compliments on how beautiful our wedding cake was and how great it tasted. Cortney was very friendly, she answered our questions promptly, and worked with us and our florist to make sure our wedding cake was how we wanted it. We can't thank her enough for all the time and work she put into it. We definitely want to use her again in the future!
Cortney was great to work with to plan our wedding cake and cupcakes. We were able to schedule a tasting with her before booking and discuss cake design. It was also convenient to rent the cake stand and cupcake tiers through her. Communication was great leading up to the event and she even checked in the night before the wedding. The cake and cupcakes looked beautiful and tasted delicious!
I have ordered cakes from Cortney on three occasions. My latest order was for my daughter's wedding in August. Cortney listened to my daughter's vision and created a beautiful wedding cake. Guests enjoyed a perfect ratio of buttercream frosting to deliciously moist cake. Every time! Cortney works hard to make your occasion a special one, from cake tasting to cake delivery.
Recently just gotten married on Sep 3rd and we are STILL enjoying the leftover delicious cupcakes made from Cortney. Cortney has been nothing but amazing to work with! From the first encounter to cake tasting to final delivery, Cortney has shown nothing but professionalism and kindness. We got a 3 tier cake and cupcakes and everything tasted amazing, the cake looked beautiful with the floral touch added. Would definitely recommend Cortney and we will be looking to work with her with any future events.
Cortney’s cake and cupcakes were beautiful and just as delicious! I had so many compliments from wedding guests who ate multiple cupcakes and took some home because they loved them so much. Would highly recommend and choose her to make our wedding dessert 100 times again if I needed to!
Courtney was very helpful and very kind. She exceeded my expectations. Not only did the cake look fantastic It also tasted
Delicious
Cortney Girls Cake Closet was amazing. Her service was excellent! Her communication was immediate and detailed. The cupcakes were top notch! Our guests loved the fresh, delicious cupcakes.
I've used Cortney for special events, including birthdays and graduations. Her cakes are always the full package - they are beautiful and taste amazing. Cortney takes time to understand exactly what you want, and she's always willing to try new ideas. She is approachable, easy to work with, and super kind - highly recommend her!
Cortney did an amazing job on our wedding cake and cupcakes! We really appreciated Cortney’s customer focus and how she focuses on events and customer experience. There was no doubt we were going with her after our tasting. Her cake/cupcakes taste INCREDIBLE (and we are not huge cake people). Guests raved about how good everything tasted. Cortney was very easy to work with and made the process fun. Highly highly suggest! We will be ordering many more times from her for other events and celebrations.
Cortney's Cake Closet was a fantastic experience for us. Her service was excellent! Her communication was great. The best part was the delicious cupcakes and incredibly delicious wedding cakes! Our guests loved the cakes!
Cortney was an absolute dream to work with! From sampling different cupcakes, coming up with a cupcake/cake idea, delivery, and just adding touches to ensure everything went to plan! She really does put her heart into this, did a beautiful job and I would absolutely recommend and would book her again! 10/10
Cortney had great communication throughout the process and our guests had only positive things to say about the cake quality on our wedding day. Everything was great!
Working with Cortney was A DREAM. If you don’t read anything else, beyond this, know that Cortney creates the most gorgeous cakes that ALSO TASTE AMAZING. I highly recommend working with her for her expertise, creativity, attention to detail for what you envision and her kindness. She’s the real deal.
The wedding cake has always been a part of the wedding I was very excited for and wanted to make a beautiful spectacle of it - Cortney made my vision come to life!
She was incredible to work with from the first meeting looking at inspiration photos, colors and getting to know me and my style. Her attention to detail, understanding for my vision and creativity helped bring the 7 tier cake together. She encouraged me to sketch an idea of what I wanted the cake to look like (totally optional, I enjoy drawing so was very excited to do that) then she used that as inspiration paired with her cake creation expertise to bring it to life. She took my ideas and what decor she knew would work within my budget which was greatly appreciated.
I was planning the wedding from out of town and she was more than willing to accommodate phone calls and whatever it took. She even let me send her a paint swatch in the mail so she could color match the frosting to perfectly go with our wedding decor.
It was a beautiful work of art, Cortney is capable of creating the most gorgeous cakes! Not only that, I had handfuls of guests reach out to me after the wedding complimenting how obviously magical the cake looked, but even more so, how DELICIOUS it tasted. Usually that’s a trade off. By far the best tasting wedding cake and any cake I’ve ever had (and my guests agreed verbatim). Her wedding white flavor is incredibly special for such a simple flavor. Her strawberries and champagne flavor also blew our guests away. You will definitely want to plan to have extra ;) Light, airy, yet moist. Sweet, but not too sweet.
I could not recommend Cortney more to future brides or anyone who is looking for a beautiful delicious cake for any occasion. She’s amazing, a joy to work with and I’m grateful to have found her for my wedding. THANK YOU SO MUCH CORTNEY <3
Cortney was great to work with! We met her at a tasting and fell in love with the cupcakes. We knew we wanted a cake for us and cupcakes for the guests, but she helped us choose the right size cake and number of cupcakes. I provided a picture of what I’d like the cake to look like, and it turned out exactly as I imagined it would! Everyone at the reception commented on how good the cupcakes were, and I can’t wait to eat our the layer we saved on our one year anniversary!
So happy we were able to have Cortney be apart of our special day. She did an awesome job turning our cake and cupcake table into a reality. So many of our wedding guests raved about the red velvet cupcakes. We even saved part of our cake to freeze and eat at a later time because we couldn’t get enough! Highly recommend, thanks Cortney!!
I used Cortney for our wedding cake. On our initial meeting, she was very friendly and made the process so seamless. We sampled a few different flavors which were all delicious. She let me take a sample home to my now husband who couldn’t make it. Our cake ended up beautiful and delicious! All night people were telling me it was the best wedding cake they’ve had! I would for sure recommend her to all brides!
My son got married and they had Cortney make cupcakes instead of a traditional wedding cake.
The cupcakes were fantastic! Cortney was great to work with as well. She was so interested in how the event went when we returned her cupcake containers to her as well. I would highly recommend her to anyone!
Cortneys’s cake for my daughter’s wedding was both beautiful and delicious! She was so easy to work with, and if you like really yummy cake, Courtney is your girl. Would highly recommend!
Cortney was the absolute best, everything she provided was beautiful and she decorated the cake perfectly with the flowers from the florist. Not to mention everything she made tasted wonderful! Would definitely use Cortney again for any occasion!
Cortney did a FABULOUS job for my son's wedding. The cake was beautifully decorated, custom-made and personalized and tasted delicious! We were able to take extra to our Air BnB for the weekend and it disappeared quickly!! Thanks so much for adding your professional and personal touch to our special occasion!
Mother of the Groom
Cortney did an absolutely amazing job!! The cake was delicious and was gone by the end of the night! It looked beautiful and melted in your mouth. I am excited to get our anniversary cakes from her every year!
Cortney was a great vendor to work with. She was easy to communicate with, gave us suggestions whenever we needed help, and the cake turned out both beautiful and delicious! Couldn't have asked for a better baker for our wedding cake!
Courtney of CourtneyGirls Cake Closet is such a wonderful baker! We got my daughters wedding cake from her last year and when we needed something for her baby shower Courtney again went above and beyond for us and we had beautiful and delicious cupcakes! Thank you Courtney!

I truly wish I could leave more than 5 stars!
Cortney is absolutely INCREDIBLE!
She is truly an amazing person let alone baker!
When I tried her cupcakes for my tasting I knew instantly she was by far the baker I wanted to make my wedding cake!
The flavor of the cake truly makes your mouth water again and again! 😊
The whole entire process from day one was completely stress free, and she was always super sweet and helpful with any little questions I had!
My cake was stunning! When I saw it, it was breathtaking, everything I had dreamed about!
Somehow Courtney got in my head and figured out exactly what I had wanted!
If you are thinking about choosing Courtney to bake your cake, DO IT! You definitely won’t regret it! I’m so thankful I chose Cortney!
Cortney made a deliciously gorgeous cake for my sister’s wedding. Many guests commented on how great the cake tasted!
Courtney, was Absolutely amazing very professional and easy to work with. She made my dream of what my wedding cake would be and I am forever grateful for her talents. Her flavor of her cake and cupcakes were very delicious I would recommend for weddings, birthdays, and special occasions. Her prices were very Reasonable. I highly recommend Courtney.
Courtney girls cake closet is so cute! I found her on google and she is so nice! She made it feel so personal when going over what we wanted the cake to look like. The cake turned out way better than I ever thought it would! I 10/10 recommended using her to make your wedding cake!
Courtney was a joy to work with! She delivered a wedding cake that enormously exceeded our expectations. Our cake was 4 layers; Strawberries N’ Champagne, Red Velvet, Sweet Almond Maraschino Cherry, and Chocolate Mocha (with a raspberry filling) and a buttercream frosting. The cake was perfectly baked and decorated, and it tasted great!
After trying 5 other bakers, we knew Cortney was the one! We absolutely LOVED her cake. The cake is moist, flavors are wonderful (not fake tasting like some places) and the frosting is to die for! Cortney helped me create the perfect vision for my cake and then made it come to life! She combined multiple ideas for my 4 tiered wedding cake and it was just what I had been looking for! Guests raved about how delicious the cake was and only 4 pieces were left at the end of the night. Perfect for a late night snack! Cortney is very kind and really cares about her customers. We would highly recommend her for any occasion!
I cannot say enough good things about CortneyGirl’s Cake Closet. Cortney prepared cupcakes for my wedding and all of my guests raved about them! She was wonderful to work with and I highly recommend her for your next event!
We found Cortney via a bridal show when we sampled some of her cake and we're immediately hooked with her spice cake. We knew we had to have it for our wedding cake. She worked with us to do a tasting and go over what designs we would like. Ultimately we decided on a 2-tiered cake then a bunch of cupcakes for everyone. We showed her examples of what we wanted with the cake and gave her creative freedom and she knocked it out of the park! The design was perfect and exactly what we wanted. The cupcakes were a huge hit at the wedding too as everyone loved them and told us many times how good they were. I even had a friend text me a few days later saying how he missed those cupcakes and wish he could have more. Thank you for making the cake we dreamed off and helping make our day special!
Cortney did a great job on our wedding cake - she took my inspiration photos and made it a reality! Highly recommend booking with her :)
Cortney is awesome to work with and I’m so happy we found her to make our wedding cake. It was literally the best cake I’ve ever had in my life! I will definitely be contacting her again to make cakes for us in the future!!
We hired Cortney for our wedding through my mother-in-law who has used her in the past for multiple events and she did NOT disappoint! Although I didn't get to eat much, everything looked AMAZING. Our cake was stunning and the cupcakes were so cute. The little bit I did try was to die for and my guests couldn't stop asking me who did our desserts and raving about them! Cortney is a wonderful individual to work with and is so creative and talented!
Thank you so much Cortney for providing us with such a beautiful dessert for our big day! ❤️
Cortney baked the cake and cupcakes for our wedding last weekend. She is so sweet and fun to work with! And the cake is amazing! Cortney personally delivered the cake and cupcakes to my venue and set it up for us. I highly recommend her! Try the salted caramel cupcake you won’t regret it!
Cortney is absolutely amazing! She made a beautiful small tiered cake and cupcakes for our wedding, and everything was absolutely delicious! One of my friends said it was the best frosting he's ever had, and I definitely agreed! Cortney was also very easy to work with, and she was very quick to respond to any questions through email or text message. I never had to worry about not being able to get a hold of her, which made planning much less stressful! The cake turned out beautiful, and I loved that she was willing to help me include a small figurine of my dog on the cake, it was adorable!
If you are even considering hiring Cortney do bake for you, stop thinking about and just DO IT! From the very beginning conversations to the final product, Cortney was amazing to work with, communicates well and absolutely knows what she is doing in every aspect of her craft. Our wedding order included cupcakes for 150 guests and a two tiered cake which was perfectly decorated to bring our birch bark vision to life! I'm a person who loves unique, artistic features and I believe when you hire an artist to create a piece for you, you give them an idea and let them run. Cortney did just that and created a unique piece of art just for us. Aside from how beautiful everything turned out, they tasted AMAZING! Our guests loved the cupcakes (wedding white and chocolate) and still rave about them whenever the topic comes up. We can't thank Cortney enough for all that she did to help make our special day perfect! We won't go to anyone else for our baking needs in the future! <3
Wow! Wow! Wow! I wish I could give more than 5 stars to Cortney! She far exceeded any expectation I had for my daughter’s wedding cake! To think I just gave her a picture of what I was hoping she could recreate for us and she magically made it happen just like that. My daughter’s wedding was a Disney theme wedding and this cake was most definitely the cherry on top! Not only was it beautiful, Cortney’s cakes are also the most moist and delicious cakes you will ever taste. She also made cupcakes for my daughter’s bridal shower that were beautiful and delicious! But that wedding cake was almost to beautiful to cut into! You can’t go wrong if you decide to go with Cortney, she is the most caring person and has a vision for your event and makes it happen. She stays well connected with you during the whole process starting from the first time you meet her at the taste test, (which was quite the treat all the way through) to the end when she finalizes the final details of your cake. I can’t imagine ever going with anyone else, her cakes and cupcakes leave you wanting more, every bite is so rewarding. Right now while I’m writing this I am craving another bite! I have found a friend for life with CortneyGirls Cake Closet! Trust me, it will be the best decision you make if you select her to be your vendor for your wedding cake!
Courtney not only makes beautiful, tasty cakes but is such a pleasure to work with!!! She is very accommodating in creating your dream wedding cake. She also has gluten free options, which is awesome! Got so many compliments from our wedding guests on how tasty the cake was.
Cortney stuck with us through 3 dates and 2 venue changes due to the pandemic. She made sure every detail on our cake was just the way we wanted it. We received so many compliments from our guests on how good our cake tasted. Our wedding cake was perfect and it was so delicious! Thanks again Cortney!
Cortney was one of the recommendations from our wedding planner and I'm so glad she was! The first time we met Cortney we knew she would not only be our wedding cake baker but our new "family baker"! I can't even count the amazing compliments we received on her cake and cupcakes. So many people told us they normally don't like cake but something about Cortney's cake kept making them go back for cupcakes throughout the night. I was blown away when I saw our cake on our wedding day. I was able to provide Cortney with a picture of a cake that I liked and she nailed the design without using fondant like the original cake. Cortney is such an amazing person herself and when you talk to her it feels like you are talking to a friend you have known forever. We cannot wait for the next time we need a cake or cupcakes to order from Cortney!
We got 3 different flavors of cupcakes for the guests at our wedding and one small cake for the wedding party. They all turned out delicious and the display was beautiful! We got many compliments on the cupcakes, even from people who don’t usually like cake. Cortney was super friendly and quick to respond to emails and texts throughout the entire process. She also gave us many ideas for colors and decorations. Having Cortney as our baker took away a lot of stress during wedding planning as she stayed in close communication with us throughout the process. Her delicious desserts and friendly service will not disappoint!
As a guest of many weddings where the cake and/or desserts were only so-so, I was very skeptical that I would be able to find a cake baker that was a crowd-pleaser. Let me tell you, we won the jackpot when we found Cortney! Her cake and buttercream is the best I have ever tasted, and she is so friendly and prompt and super sweet. There was literally no cake left at the wedding and I had so many people come up to ask me who did the cake. We had three flavors served (lemon drop, French vanilla, and double dark chocolate fudge) and multiple people had all 3 flavors because they couldn't stop at 1! We are looking forward to using Cortney in the future for other parties, events, or the occasional need for something sweet. :)
As the Mother of the Bride, I was in the “tasting party” for different cake vendors (one of my favorite things to do)! CourtneyGirls Cake Closet was the hands down winner for flavor! The finished product was both beautiful and delicious! I highly recommend this cake vendor!
Courtney just made my cake for my wedding and it was amazing!!!! We choose French vanilla and double chocolate fudge and both flavors were a huge hit we hardly had any left over!!
Cortney is the absolute best to work with & has the most amazing cakes! We had Cortney make a beautiful, tasty cake for our wedding in October, and we could not have been more happy with how it turned out.
We will always recommend CortneyGirls Cake Closet! You will not be disappointed!
We used Courtney for a bridal shower, and we are happy with our expirence. Courtney had delicious cupecakes, was easy to work with and provided unique customization options to fit our exact need. Very professional and responded, in a timely manner.
We had Cortney do cupcakes and cake for our wedding on 9-19-2020. After our original cake vendor fell through, we found Cortney and couldn’t have been happier with our cakes and cupcakes! We had Cortney make 96 cupcakes with four different flavors (strawberry champagne, chocolate, vanilla with raspberry filling, and lemon drop) along with a two tier small cake (approximately 36ish servings). Guest count was 98 and we had no cake or cupcakes left over at the end of the night! Cake and cupcakes are amazing and very moist! We also had some guest with diary free restrictions which Cortney was able to accommodate. Would highly recommend!
Cortney was the cake vendor for my son’s wedding, so I knew she was good. What I didn’t know was how meticulous to detail she is. I showed her a picture and she did amazing! Not only was it beautiful, but tasted awesome (so moist). We had so many compliments on her cake & cupcakes and we hardly had any left! Cortney is not only talented and accommodating but a super person to work with! She will make sure her part in your wedding will make you happy! ❤️
Cortney made by far the most delicious wedding cake. Not only was it beautiful to look at, but we got countless compliments with how moist and tasty it was. Cortney is extremely talented, but she is also wonderful to work with as well. As a bride going through the Covid pandemic, we lost a lot of vendors. Cortney was flexible with any changes we were forced to make with the number of people we were allowed to invite as well as when we would change the design of our wedding cake. Pick Cortney for your wedding cake! You won’t regret it!
Cortney, words can't describe the feedback we received on our gorgeous wedding cake!! You by far exceeded our expectations, and the taste was phenomenal! Everyone was blown away with the cake and it was gone well before the night was over! Christina and I are truly grateful for getting referred to you, top notch! If there is somewhere for us to leave a review for you, please send it! Christina tends to have high standards and you knocked her off of her feet. She has mentioned numerous times how she's looking forward to eating more cake on our first anniversary. Thank you again.
Cortney was wonderful to work with! She makes the most delicious cakes and was willing to go the extra mile to make sure we were pleased! Many of my guests commented on how delicious our cake and cupcakes were. I plan on using CortneyGirl's Cake Closet for future special events!
Cortney makes the most beautiful cakes! I had a last minute change so came to her two weeks before my wedding and she was nothing but helpful and accommodating. Went above and beyond what I wanted my cake to look and taste like. Just amazing! Highly recommend.
Cortney is amazing. She works diligently to bring visions to life with her fabulous cakes. She has made multiple birthday cakes and cupcakes for me and my family. She goes above and beyond with her cake, frosting, and decoration options, again, working so hard to bring your wants to creation.
My out-of-state sister has even reached out to Cortney to surprise me with my own birthday cupcakes because I adore Cortney and her cakes SO much!
If you are looking for cake creations for any occasion, call Cortney! You’ll be hooked and beyond happy with the entire experience!
Cortney is so great to work with! She baked our two-tier cake for our June 27 wedding. From the moment I met Cortney I was super comfortable with her. She is down-to-earth, super friendly, and warm. She feels like a friend even though I've only met her in-person 3 times! She makes delicious cake. At the tasting we tried wedding white and yellow (both with vanilla buttercream), pumpkin with cream cheese icing, and carrot cake (maybe also with cream cheese icing? I can't recall). All were delicious. Comparing the pumpkin and carrot, we personally preferred the pumpkin. I didn't have a desire for a super fancy cake, nor did I have a specific design in mind, but I knew I wanted to use my Sola wood flowers for decoration (the same ones I would be using in my centerpieces and as part of my bouquet). The final product was beautiful and tasted amazing! I am very excited to dig into the top tier that we saved for our one year anniversary.
Courtney’s cakes are amazing! My sister’s wedding and reception was held at my house and Courtney did a fabulous job with her beautiful, delicate, original wedding cake. I plan to use Courtney’s Cake Closet for all future cake and cupcake needs. Her cakes are delicious and she is absolutely delightful to work with!💕
Cortney’s cakes are not only beautiful but delicious! I have enjoyed using her to make birthday cakes for my family and they are a hit with everyone. She is so great to work with and responds quickly. She has by far exceeded my expectations every time. I highly recommend Cortney if you looking for a cake that is not only beautiful but tastes amazing! Her buttercream frosting is the best I’ve ever had. Try her for any occasion you will not be disappointed.
You will love working with Cortney and her Cakes etc are amazing! You won’t be disappointed I promise. Usually I have found when you go to a wedding or any kind of function the cake looks really good but doesn’t taste that good or the opposite but with CortneyGirl’s Cake Closet it is BOTH delicious and looks amazing!
Cortney is so amazing! She makes the most delicious cupcakes. Everyone raved about how amazing they were. Not to mention Cortney is so sweet.
