How many of you would trust a stranger on an airplane to recommend who to use for your wedding cake? That's exactly how this beautiful relationship began. My fiancé at the time and I were traveling to Vegas and in the aisle seat sat a man who ...was traveling alone for business. At the end of the flight, I pull out my earbuds and my fiancé introduces me to Josh. Josh says "hey, congrats on your engagement...if you need someone to do your wedding cake, my wife does a pretty good job" - and he wrote "Kaked by Katie" on a post-it. I used it as a bookmark, and later it ended up in a desk drawer... I remembered this when it came time to search for a bakery, and I was OBSESSED by what I saw in Katie's insta gallery. Come to find out, Katie was moving into a brick and mortar store, but we had our first initial cake tasting out of their home. Katie could not have been more welcoming. There was something so engaging about her, and we just clicked. I knew based on her warm personality, we were in good hands. Her ability to master any flavor combination with cake and icing and filling, along with her conversational skills to break it down in normal terms how she masters flavor combos so no taste or texture is too overwhelming, was exactly what my husband and I needed in order to make a very complicated decision. By the time we were ready to execute the design of the cake, Katie was running her business out of her shop, which is the most dreamy spot with an open kitchen and a retro-esque lounge where you can come in and "talk cake." Katie was able to emulate the design and colors of our décor into the cake, down to the milkglass vases we had as table centerpieces. On our wedding day, Katie delivered the cake in person to our reception venue and requested that our florist leave some fresh flowers to use for accents on our cake - which was perfect,because we were using my grandpa's zinnias from his garden (among other flowers our florist used) as an homage. Katie being willing to use them as another special feature and incorporating them into the cake was just another special detail for us. And finally, our groom's cake was the CUTEST. It was a basic round cake with a chocolate inside and a white icing that was peanut butter flavor complete with a fondant German Shepherd on the top that she designed to replicate our dog child, Greta. Katie nailed every element and I only wish that we could make our wedding an annual affair. She was so fun to work with and is the best in the business. She can do anything you ask, and your wedding cake will be beyond tasteful, tasty, and perfect <3 It make for some of your most fun and beautiful wedding photos and memories too :)
