I live in California but needed to plan an event near Grand Rapids Michigan that required cakes. I decided to look on the knot for a boutique baker with awesome reviews. Rachel’s reviews surpassed all others so I sent in a request. She got back to me quickly and was happy to work with me.
I ordered two of her cakes and then had to add a third because the guest list grew. Then decided to add cake pops and we ended up with 3 large cakes and 72 cake pops. I was amazed that Rachel could accommodate my requests. She was so helpful and kind! The cakes and pops were all AMAZING. I had people after the event telling me how delicious and moist the cakes were. How something so beautiful could taste so good was heard often! Rachel even hand painted one of the cakes with edible food paint as per my request. I sent her photos of the flowers and decor I chose and she custom painted an English garden theme on to the cake. It was absolutely beautiful! The others were frosted in a modern ripple technique that looked really nice flanking the painted cake.
I have planned a few events in my life and Rachel stands out as one of the best vendors I have ever worked with. She is professional, kind, and personable and everything went smoothly. I am so impressed. I would work with her again in a heartbeat!
Equinox created the most beautiful cake and cupcakes for our daughter's wedding, utilizing fresh flowers for decorating and a delicious flavor for the cakes and icing.
We also chose to give a small token to each reception guest to take with them. This was a cookie that was decorated in a cowgirl/cowboy theme. Equinox personalized some very fitting shapes and the decorating was amazing.
Highly recommend Rachel and her team for all your baked good needs. They listen to what you are looking for, are professional, timely and wonderful to work with. Will be a returning customer for future events.
