Thank you so much for everything! The cake was beautiful and everything I wanted. The treats ie. brownies, cupcakes, bars I assume were delicious because they were literally gone by the end of the night. I was literally so relieved they were ab...
le to fit my cake in basically last minute due to poor planning on my part. Literally save me!! So delicious too. Thank you a million!
We worked with Johanna from Dream Cakes. She was responsive, professional, and easy to work with. We went with a 2-tier cutting cake just for us, and it was perfect! It was delicious, and absolutely beautiful. We could not be happier with our c...
hoice to go with Dream Cakes for our wedding and are already looking forward to having more cake on our first anniversary!
Dream Cakes knocked it out of the park with our wedding cake. Johanna was so easy to work with, communicative, professional, and accommodating. We wanted a specific cake that wasn't on her menu, and she made it for us, no problem. Her cakes are...
also AMAZING and received rave reviews from our guests. We're so happy we chose Dream Cakes and would do it again. 10/10!
Any questions?
dream cakes pdx provided our wedding cake and mini cupcake dessert bar! this vendor was great to work with and I couldn't recommend them more! their desserts are amazing, and their team is small but mighty! this vendor is easy to work with and ...
communication was smooth! they even threw in some extra cupcakes for us on the day of, a wonderful surprise and a wonderful dessert shop!
We opted for a single tier wedding cake - nothing fancy - and the red velvet was delicious and beautiful! Ordering online was easy and pick up went super smoothly.
Thank you!! I’m still dreaming about the fruit tarts and the cheesecake bites! So good and had my non- sweets eating friends rave on and on about them! Thank you so much!!

You're very welcome!
Thank you for letting us be a part of your day! <3
We had such a fun time figuring out what cake we wanted for our day. The seasonal raspberry was so perfect. We went with a tiny couples cake that was absolutely perfect - taste, look and simplicity.
My husband was so adament that we use Dream Cakes after tasting it at a friends wedding (He's a cake person). I went with it and holy moly that was the best wedding cake ever, chocolate cake with caramel and peanut butter layering it was super ...
unique and amazing! The cake bites were also a huge hit, would recommend ordering double of what you think for those cause they went so fast!
Response from the Vendor on 07/22/2020
Awe you guys! Thank you so much! Also thats extra amazing about the bites.... because I gave you double double the amount you ordered because I had so many extra, lol!
I love this!
Thank you so much for choosing me to be a part of your specia...
l day! Keep us in mind for future events! Cheers!
Johannah and her team make a damn good cake. For our wedding, we got their MAGNIFICENT carrot cake with toffee crunch and marble cake with chocolate ganache, and it was gorgeous, fresh and delicious. If I'm being honest, I still daydream about ...
the cake tasting experience we had with Dream Cakes — they sent us home with 3 mini perfect cakes in 3 perfect flavors, making the decision-making process so much harder (in the best way). Planning was flawless, delivery was flawless, decoration and taste were flawless. 15/10 would seek them out for cake again!
Response from the Vendor on 02/13/2020

Dream Cakes did a fabulous job and we loved our cake. From the moment we went in for our tasting, we knew it was going to be great. They were so pleasant and easy to talk to, as well as clearly knowledgeable about making beautiful, delicious ca...
kes. We tried three samples (all of which were delicious) and they listened to what we were thinking, providing very helpful advice. On the day of the wedding, the cake was gorgeous and so many of the guests commented on how good it was. Dream Cakes is definitely the way to go - highly recommend!
The ladies at Dream Cakes actually added a surprise 6th layer to our amazing and delicious cake, all to make my husband jump with glee at the "tallest wedding cake imaginable." We are so grateful for their amazing work and for literally making ...
our dream cake!
The cake was so good! We ate all our leftover cake immediately it was that good! They really did a great job. Thank you!
Johannah and the team at Dream Cakes were amazing! Not only did she make a beautiful cake but our guests keep saying how it was the best wedding cake they have ever eaten and we couldn't agree more!
Johannah did an amazing job with our wedding cakes and was quick and professional throughout the ordering process. We had a traditional wedding cake with multiple flavors and a unique groom's cake (Lord of the Ring's Tower!) and both looked and...
tasted fantastic. Johannah quickly got my vision for the tower cake and she executed it flawlessly. We received multiple compliments on both cakes and my husband absolutely loved the Lord of the Rings cake. I would highly recommend Dream Cakes to any Portland bride looking for the best of the best.
The cake itself was delicious. The design didn't look anything like the cake we had agreed on. It was still a pretty cake, it just didn't look like the cake we had envisioned to be our wedding cake. They were apologetic and did offer a partial ...
refund.
Beautiful cake, best of all it was delicious! Our guests loved it!
Buyer beware.
Their dream cake – watercolors and one large flower (as seen in the Dream Cakes website gallery & in photos supplied by Johannah).
A picture would be worth a thousand words . . . . . just imagine how sad the cake appeared with ...
a small band of blush & berry watercolor on the bottom third of the bottom tier - the rest plain white.
The flowers on the cake were added after the fact. Thankfully, our florist came to the rescue minutes before the reception began.
Not only did they not get the desired watercolor appearance, but they were charged extra for it!?!
To add the large single flower that the couple requested (more than the requested 30 days in advance) would have been . . . extra! And you guessed it - $75.
Up-sell and along with it - up charge - expect everything to be another $75.
How much was spent on this vendor? Too much.
No phone – just email. No credit cards, just checks.
When we tried to creatively tackle the extra costs with less cake, we were met with a brick wall.
Difficult to work with.
The cake tasted great.
NOT their dream cake.
Johannah did an amazing job! She was so great to work with, very personable, and super flexible - she made everything easy for us. She even matched the color of our cake to the exact turquoise color we used throughout the wedding. I highly reco...
mmend her! :)
Johannah is wonderful - I do not have enough nice things to say about Dream Cakes. Not only was our cake gorgeous and everything I imagined, but it was delicious. Multiple people approached me at the wedding to ask about the banana cake; so so ...
good. Johannah was super friendly and easy to get in touch with. I highly recommend Dream Cakes to anybody!
We were planning from out of state so we weren't able to do a tasting in advance but everything about the cake was great the day of our wedding. We had the chocolate cake with salted caramel filling as well as lemon curd with berries for the ot...

WOW!!!! I love Johanna she was just great to work with. She replied quick to my e-mails and makes the most amazing cakes! Our cake was beautiful inside and tasted delicious! The cake was the first to go for the desserts it was that amazing! Tot...
ally recommend her!
We planned our wedding from Chicago and then San Francisco. It's kind of crazy to take a shot in the dark about wedding vendors since we were long distance, but we couldn't have been happier with our wedding cake from Johannah. She was very res...
ponsivve to emails. We went with dark chocolate with salted caramel and white cake with home-made lemon curd and fresh berry filling (two of the more popular options). I sent a few pictures of cake designs I liked, and when I showed up to the reception, and there was a beautiful wedding cake. And best of all, it was amazing. Our guests loved the cake and so did the bride and groom!
Johannah did a fantastic job! I can not begin to express how amazing it was to work with her and how wonderful our wedding cake turned out! During the wedding process she was extremely responsive to emails and asked for details months in advanc...
e, which helped minimize the last minute wedding planning stress. She even helped me plan a surprise birthday cake for my dad and a groom's cake for our rehearsal party. She even delivered it and made a really cool airplane fondant topper for my husband's groom's cake. They were surprised and it was fun to try out some different cake flavors. For our wedding cake, I wanted something different than traditional wedding cakes. I love the look of semi-naked cakes and I also do not like the taste of fondant. We got a three tiered cake to feed 100 people. Other than the semi-naked cake request, we did not have a specific vision for our wedding cake and gave Johannah creative freedom. She suggested a splattering of gold foil and our wedding cake was everything we wanted it to be and more. Our wedding cake complimented well with our wedding decor. Johannah even contacted Something Borrowed Rentals to confirm the dimensions of our cake stand. She delivered our wedding cake in a timely manner to Zenith Vineyard in Salem. We also ordered 40 cookies, which looking back I wish I ordered more. They were a hit! Our guests raved about how delicious and moist our cake was and how fun the cookies were for a late night snack. My birthday is coming up and I have a feeling my husband is arranging a birthday cake with Johannah. She is absolutely amazing and she will do everything in her power to make your day special!
I can not say enough about how beautiful our cake was. It was exactly what I was looking for. I got compliment after compliment on how good it was and how beautiful it was. Johannah I can't thank you enough!!!
We had an amazing 6 inch gluten free bride and groom cake from Dream Cakes! It had mint colored frosting with edible gold painted around the bottom. It was gorgeous and just as delicious!! Not to mention it was affordable for a gluten free brid...
e and groom cake, for our guests we did Voodoo doughnuts which was a hit. But my husband and I loved our own personal cake!! Thank you so much!
Our wedding cake was absolutely DELICIOUS. I cannot say enough great things about Edit. The consultation was wonderful and she came through big time on our wedding day. Despite 18 inches of flooding in the area and flooded roads, our cake was s...
till delivered to our venue early and was absolutely beautiful. Would recommend her cakes to anyone that asked! We got so many compliments about how delicious our wedding cake was!
Edit was beyond amazing and delivered the cake of our dreams! Everyone raved about the cake and the fact she uses all natural products makes it that much better. I have recommended her to everyone I know getting married and will for a long time...
. Great lady!
Johanna was so easy to work with even though we were from out of state. We had to use Dream Cakes as part of our wedding package and we did so without a tasting. We were not disappointed! The cake was designed through email and came out better ...
than I could have pictures. There were so many flavors to choose from and it may have been the best cake I have ever had. Even if we could have picked our cake vendor there is no way we could have done better!
Johannah was wonderful to work with! She was prompt in all communication, gave us a fantastic tasting prior to booking, and most importantly, bakes absolutely delicious cakes! The design was beautiful--we had both a small cake and different fla...
vors of cupcakes. The cake, fillings, and frostings are all so tasty, and our guests loved them! We had so many compliments on our desserts.
My husband and I were so pleased with our wedding cake! It was delicious (our number one criteria) and exactly what we were looking for. From the start, Johannah was helpful with design ideas, flavor combinations, and was able to execute our vi...
sion perfectly. On the day of our first meeting, she had 3 mini cake samples prepared for us to take home, which were excellent and ultimately made our decision to choose Dream Cakes simple. Our wedding was held about an hour and a half away from Portland, which required a delivery fee which my husband and I felt was very reasonable.
We would happily recommend Dream Cakes to anyone looking for a personable cake baker with beautifully designed and deliciously moist cake.
Thank you Johannah and Dream Cakes for making our day special.
If you are looking for phenomenal service and the most fantastic cake ever, look no further. Johanna is amazing!!!
She is so professional, creative, and a fantastic baker. We had NO cake left from the wedding and none left on any plate. Be...
sure to order a small cake to save. Her flavors are fresh and she has a great variety to select from. The cake was moist and delicious. Everyone at our wedding was impressed.
She managed a large wedding with ease (we had 145 people), made the cakes perfectly to our specifications, and with materials we wanted, she decorated the cakes beautifully. We were so excited then we saw the cakes at the reception. She delivered on time and made our wedding a truly unforgettable event. The pictures of our cakes look like they were made for a photo shoot.
We couldn't have asked for mbetter service from anyone. I would highly recommend her, you will receive exceptional 5 star service for a very modest price.
After several cake tastings, we settled on Dream Cakes to bake our wedding cake and we were not disappointed!
OUR CAKE WAS SO DELICIOUS AND BEAUTIFUL!

Working with Judy is like working with an artist - truly! She is amazing and is really invested in each cake she works on. She keeps her business at a certain level so she can personally make each cake from start to finnish. She is a gem! She s...
at down and really got to know us and our personalties and listened to our thoughts and ideas - in the end it was just perfect. Not too mention that her cakes are gourmet! They taste amazing! You wont find better wedding cake in town - Im sorry to say - we tasted our share! So delicious!!
Dream Cakes by Judy is a cute little place in SW. Judy specializes in weddings and has many years of experience. She makes the most beautiful cakes- she can make anything from a simple one tier cake with no extras to the most extravagant cakes ...
ive seen with beautiful handmade sugar flower creations. My personal vision was a flawless smooth finish with nothing but flowers cascading down. For how smooth as i wanted this cake it was going to be hard to do without using fondant (yuck!) but Judy made it happen. She made me a perfect 4 tier cake with a flawless finish made out of her beyond delicious butter cream frosting.
Judy's cakes are so good, I did 3 cake tastings and nothing compared. There was not one single slice of cake left after my wedding. I couldn't be happier!
With Judy you don't have to choose between a wedding cake that looks beautiful and tastes great.
We ordered a three-tier cake with buttercream frosting with enough slices for 100 people - and our 75 guests devoured it. My only complaint is ...
that I didn't order enough to have any leftovers to take home - and that Judy doesn't bake for less than 100 people so it will be a long time until I get to taste it again!
Our guests raved about the lemon poppyseed cake with lemon custard and fresh whole blueberries for days. My mother loved the chocolate cake with dark chocolate ganache and whole raspberries. I'm pretty sure my father-in-law ate the entire coconut top tier.
The color also perfectly matched the pink paper I used for my menus and escort cards. It was lovely!
Our wedding was this past August and heard some many glowing reviews on Judy and her dream cakes. Our cake was no only the most beautiful cake I have ever seen it was by far the best tasting cake I have ever had. People are still talking about ...
for month later! Judy was so wonderful and easy to work with. She really listens to what you want and even better she makes you mini cakes to share with friends and family as a taster before the event. I cannot say enough great things about her and her beautiful delicious cakes, I will defiantly be coming back!!
Judy did an incredible job creating our wedding cake. She made our vision come to life even better than we had imagined (and it tasted delicious). She has an amazing talent for cake design. In addition to that the price was very reasonable. Tha...

d velvet wasn’t even on the original flavor sheet, but she made it for us, and both flavors were great. I only wish I had been able to eat more – it was totally gone at the end of the reception! We wanted a very simple cake, so we just had round layers, but I saw several photos of other cakes she had designed, and they looked great. I’ll be happy to recommend Judy to friends in the future.
When I saw my cake, it just blew me away. It was beyond what I expected and it was absolutely gorgeous! Judy does a wonderful job of making sure she gets the details of what you want, right. She's very accommodating and wants to make sure yo...
u're happy. We received so many compliments on not only the decoration of the cake, but the flavors. I would definitely recommend Dream Cakes to any one.
