Michelle was such a pleasure to work with! From the first call I had regarding flavors and icing to the final product, she answered every tedious question I had with grace and kindness.
When I came up with a wild idea of literally making a mo...
untain out of my groom’s cake, she immediately took to google to find just the right image and made every detail perfect, down to the hiking trail!
The fact that the cakes were absolutely DELICIOUS and freshly baked were the icing on the cake. I can’t recommend Michelle enough. Her creativity, kindness, and skill are bar none.

Priscilla your'e amazing!!! Thank you so much for your kind words and for trusting with your daughter's design! I can't tell you enough what it was a joy to work with you and your family and I'm so happy you all enjoyed it! - Michelle
Michelle was wonderful to work with! From our introductory call to the cake design stage and ultimate end-product, we had a great experience. What impressed us was not just that the cake was beautiful (which it was!), but also that the cake was...
so incredibly delicious. It often feels like there is a tradeoff between the look of a cake and how it tastes. Not with Iris Street Bakery! This is the rare case where you could truly "have your cake and eat it too."

Any questions?
Planning a wedding 450 miles away was tasking; however, Michelle made our cake experience so magical.
We chatted online and as I was explaining the cake I envisioned Michelle took pencil and paper to draw out the cake for our wedding. As we...
completed our conversation she showed her drawing to me. At that moment, I knew we had to hire her bake our cake.
Her professionalism and creativity was refreshing. Oh, and the cake was so tasty!
Meeting Michelle during our wedding was as they say "Icing on the cake". Michelle is truly a wonderful person and it was a pleasure working with her. It was truly a magical cake experience.

for years, she was extremely friendly, was so easy to work with, and truly a professional! My husband and I were planning our wedding from a different city, which made it hard to meet with vendors, but Michelle really did make it so easy on us.

She was patient, a great communicator and always responded to my emails no matter how late in the day or night it was! She truly created the most delicious and gorgeous wedding cake of our dreams. We truly recommend hiring Iris Street Bakery for any of your festivities, big or small. Michelle, thank you once again for your amazing and gorgeous work! :)

, but never worried about my cake once I hired Michelle. My husband and I were planning our wedding from a different city, which made it hard to meet with vendors, but Michelle really did make it so easy on us.
We also got so many compliments when we got back from our honeymoon about how delicious the cake was. The pictures my husband and I took cutting the cake are also some of my favorite from the day. She helped my vision come to life and it was better than I imagined. We are truly grateful to have worked with her!!

Hi Jennifer and thank you so much for the kind words! I'm so thrilled to hear how much you and your guests enjoyed your cake. - Michelle
Michelle did an amazing job with my wedding cake and groom’s cake. Not only did both pieces look absolutely beautiful, they tasted amazing. I had proposed a tailing Redfish for the groom’s cake (as he is an avid fisherman) and Michelle was up f...
or the task. It turned out more amazing than I could imagine. She showed extreme professionalism and was able to adjust to our wedding timeline for a cake drop off, since our venue was open to the public till our ceremony started. I would hire Iris Street Bakery again.

It is very hard to find a baker in the Valley with exquisite vision and passion for their art. Michelle made my husbands vision and mine come to life. She listened to what we wanted and worked with us during the hardest time in our life. COVID...
created many obstacles in our wedding up until the very end, and Michelle did everything in her power to keep us from worrying and making us feel like a true priority. Not only do her cakes look beautiful, but they taste delicious as well! Personally, I prefer to have a better tasting cake than a perfect looking cake, but with Michelle we got both! We didn’t have to comprise with our expectations, Michelle went above and beyond with all our wants and needs, she is very professional, nice, and carrying and we feel very fortunate to have found her. You won’t regret hiring her to make your cake dreams come true, and she will make you feel safe in these times of uncertainty and make planning for cake exciting again!

d reaching out when important info was needed. Since we couldn't have our tasting meeting face-to-face, it was amazing to get a tasting box and try all of the flavors at our own pace! She was able to create 100 beautiful and delicious cupcakes, as well as a 1-layer cake for just my husband & I. Every detail, from the flowers, buttercream, and flavor came out wonderful and to our color theme. Our wedding guests could not stop raving about the cupcakes! We can't thank Michelle enough for her delicious creations that made our wedding much better.
