Katie was amazing right from the beginning, the tasting!! I am gluten free (unfortunate for my husband), and she made our tasting gluten free and it was still a good texture and of course delicious!! She was so open with customizing our cake and working with her was so easy. Our cake was beautiful, delicious, and delivered on time! I will be calling her for all of my cake needs for sure!

Working with Katie was such a breeze! Everything we tasted from her was delicious and at such a great value for our money. My guests raved about her donuts and cookies and our cake was so delicious, coming from someone who doesn't even particularly like cake! It was beautiful as well, she took my inspiration photos and made something gorgeous with them. We would work with her again in a heartbeat.

Katie was so helpful and communicative from start to finish when doing our wedding cake. I have a lot of dietary restrictions (dairy free & gluten free) and Katie was able to work with me to still make us a beautiful two-tier wedding cake without upcharging for the more "complicated" aspects of the ingredients. She is easy to get in touch with, reasonable with pricing, and great at what she does. Whether or not you have specific dietary needs, I would highly recommend her services to anyone. :)
We also get a complimentary mini anniversary wedding cake so we don't have to freeze our topper?! Such a bonus!
Thanks for everything, Katie!!!
Any questions?

Katie made my wedding cake and cookie dreams come to LIFE! My husband and I have an 11month old Rottweiler that we really wanted incorporated into our cake, and she went beyond my expectations with it! We did a simple 3 tiered cake with some detailed cookies on the side. The designs on the cookies were exactly what we wanted!! Not only did everything look magnificent, but the taste was OUTSTANDING as well!! Very affordable, great personality, overall you don't want to miss out on working with her!

Katie did a wonderful job!! From our initial tasting, to finding us a cake stand rental, communication leading up to the wedding, and the day-of set up, she was on point and we had no worries about our dessert—which was delicious!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Katie was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was able to make a small wedding cake for my bride and I on extremely short notice. Even thought it was short notice, she still dedicated the time to figure out exactly what we wanted and for a price that fit our budget. Our cake looked amazing and tasted amazing as well. Katie is very good a communicating and I would highly recommend her services to anyone.

I called around and must have talked to 20 local bakeries with a request for a specialty cake - Katie was the first to say no problem! It was exactly what we asked for. There wasn’t a slice left at the end of the night. Everyone loved it. She was easy to work with, friendly and went the extra mile. Thank you Katie!

Katie is AMAZING!
We wanted a huge cake with applications and flowers with a combo of real cake and extra layers to make it taller. SHE MADE THE CAKE EXACTLY LIKE WE DESCRIBED.
For us that wanted the perfect cake that both my daughter and I would like, she was the perfect person to work with. The flavor of the cake was amazing. When I asked the hall for any left over he was like: oh my gosh it’s gone!
Thank you Katie. You really gave us the sugars!!
Hello!
My name is Katie and I am the owner of Give Me the Sugars. I am 29 years old, and have loved baking since I was little. I am self-taught, and most of what I know about baking I learned from my mom, who is also an amazing baker!
Baking brings me so much joy, but seeing the happiness it brings to my clients really makes it all worth it. I always strive to give clients exactly what they are looking for, and a dessert that's as unique as they are, which makes it so much fun! In addition to baking, I love music, the gym, spending time with my family, my cats, sports, and laughing!
