Iowa Rent-A-Cake

for our wedding because they are SO GOOD, but sadly narrowed it down to 5 of our absolute favorites. The comments from guests have been endless! Thank you Shelly for sharing your talents with us on our special day!

at, unexpected questions and got right down to what our dream wedding looked like. We received many compliments on the 3 flavors of cake and on our 4 tier cake. Pricing is very reasonable and her cake is AMAZING! She is crazy talented and no one compares to her. I recommend Shelly to every one of my newly engaged friends.

s a wide variety of cake flavors (all moist and delicious - we had 5 different types at our wedding because they were all so delicious), with something for everyone and very reasonable pricing. Shelly was the picture of professionalism and responsive to all our emails and questions. Would happily recommend her to any couple!

w exactly what you should be doing/asking/buying. She made us a two tier cake for cutting with fresh floral decor and it was absolutely beautiful! Our guests raved about all four flavors of sheet cakes, especially the gluten free raspberry zinger!!

concept by talking to her and then reading her website later. Since we were planning long distance, my dad did our tasting for us and from there we picked three cake flavors. A few weeks before the wedding, we called Shelly and planned our final cake design. Shelly was very responsive to emails and scheduled phone calls in advance so we both had time to prepare. She even helped me pick the right sized cake topper. I had many ideas for the look of the cake, and she always let me know what she thought would or wouldn't work. A few days before the wedding, she let us know the window for delivery. On the day of, she delivered and set up the cake; I was thrilled with how beautiful our three tiered fake cake looked. She explained how to cut into the real portion in the back and had small ribbons marking it so we wouldn't forgot. All of our guests raved about how delicious all of the flavors of our cake were! We ended up ordering more than our guests could eat, so we got to bring home a lot of leftovers, which thrilled my husband. I took some to work as well and all of my coworkers loved the cake too, even with it being a few days old! Since we were leaving the next day to travel back home, Shelly had arranged for my dad to meet her at a location on her delivery route for her Saturday weddings so that he didn't have to drive all the way to Baxter to return the rental cake. I would recommend Shelly and her bakery to anyone!

olute pleasure to work with as well!

ariety of flavors, and they were all delicious. Shelly was so easy to work with, and by delivering and setting up the cake for us, she took away a lot of the "day-of" stress!

nization from the start made the entire process a breeze. Her unique approach to wedding cakes allowed for the perfect mix of our vision and her creative expertise to translate flawlessly into our "fake cake." Our guests chose from three delicious flavor options and were raving about how beautiful the cake looked! We cannot thank you enough, Shelly, for making this process truly a pleasure!

tion for the 5 tiered cake we desired! It was a win-win! Shelly is a wonderful, professional, and experienced pastry chef to work with. We loved her creativity and assistance helping us capture our theme. Her cakes are exceptional and we would recommend all couples to consider her cakes for their special day.

ittle spot at the back. Even better was that we got to have 3 different flavors of cake, with enough for all guests to have 1 or 2 selections. Can't imagine how we could have had a cake big enough to pull that off! If you're thinking about rental, I say absolutely go for it. And the sheet cakes are SO delicious, they are now the standard against which all others will be compared. We've attended a few other weddings now, and my husband will routinely shrug at the cake and say "Ours was so much better." Highly recommend Iowa Rent-A-Cake, Shelly was great to work with and did such an exceptional job. Thanks!

didn't have to worry about the big cake falling apart when cut. Thank you, Shelly!

ed to eating multiple pieces. :) I really enjoyed being able to pick several different types of cake for the sheet cakes, so we had something that all of our guests would enjoy.

e and different flavors instead of chocolate or white cake. I wouldn't go to anyone else! WONDERFUL!

ing your fake cake, and there is a slot in the back of the fake cake where she puts in real cake. So, when you go to cut the cake with your husband, it looks real! The guests are then served sheet cakes. This cake is fabulous, many guests said that it was the best wedding cake they had ever had at a wedding. I was on a pretty tight budget for this wedding, and Iowa Rent-A-Cake was a fraction of the cost of other traditional wedding cakes. The "fake" cake was beautiful and she provided specific instructions for transport and return following the wedding. Highly recommended!

de the perfect flavor. I didn't have to worry about the cake until the last minute (aka, two weeks to go!), and it was even better than I had imagined! And I'm not blaming her for the cake smashed on my face. But she is totally getting credit for the awesome photos of us licking up every last crumb because the flavor was beyond amazing!

eryone was talking about how good it was. I only wished I would have saved more time for cake.

ing. The only down side is you do have to provide any ribbon, flowers, cake topper that you would like, not a huge deal but if you're not artistic like myself I struggled finding what I was looking for!

n't know until the day before if I was going to have a cake or not. This was one thing i wasn't expecting and didn't want to have to worry about the day before my wedding. I also got a grooms cake from her and it was broken by the time anyone had got to the reception. I guess you can't really control this but when you pay good money for a cake you expect it to last at least a few hours.
