Ann was an absolute dream to work with! She went out of her way to create our dream wedding cake, and it was absolutely beautiful! This was the most delicious cake I’ve ever had in my life! We had the almond cake with a strawberry filling, and we loved our choice! I had so many compliments from guests saying that it was the best wedding cake they have ever had. I would absolutely recommend Ann for any future friends weddings, and order a cake from her for all future life events!

Ann was literally so amazing. From the moment we got in contact she was so professional and then we did a tasting and her cake was out of this world. After one bite my husband and I knew we wanted her to bake our wedding cake. We were so glad when she agreed. She listened to the ideas we had and made our DREAM wedding cake. It looked perfect and tasted amazing and we got so many complements from our guests. 10/10

An was very helpful with my request all the way! She helped with cake design and was very responsive via emails for communication. We ordered only a one-tier double barrel wedding cake for cutting during the reception, not for the total number of guests. We could pick two different cake flavors and filling flavors for each barrel. The price was great for the size and overall taste, and quality. We provided flowers for final decoration on the wedding day to match the flowers (cake topper too). I highly recommend Kakes Xcetera for your wedding day!

People were still asking me about this cake a week later! It was that good! We got wedding white with Bavarian cream. It was very pretty and seriously delicious. Ann was easy to work with as well. Highly recommend!

Amazing cake and amazing price!! Super easy to work with and I got so so many compliments on the cake!! Besides the top of the cake all that was left was three slices! So many people came up to me saying they got more than one cake. Also it was beautiful!! Just what I wanted.
She is easy to work with and friendly. I would 10/10 recommend!!

Ann did an amazing job with our wedding cake and grooms cake!! I wish I could post a picture with this review because both cakes were even more beautiful than the inspiration pictures I sent her. Her cakes look amazing, are a great value, and of course taste fantastic. I highly recommend Kakes Xcetera for anyone in the Houston area planning their wedding! Thank you, Ann :)

Kakes Xcetera provided our wedding cake in early May 2019. Ohhhh man, that cake was everything you look for - gorgeous, reasonably priced, AND genuinely tastes yummy! Ann was flexible with us and helped us figure out a smart way to incorporate multiple flavors when we couldn't pick one. The cake tasting process was easy, communication was consistent and friendly throughout wedding planning, and the day of the wedding Ann arrived early to set up the cake and add the floral decorations from our florist. She also provided a beautiful cake stand for us to use. Not gonna lie, we were still nibbling on left over extra cake about 5 days later, it was so good! 100% recommend Kakes Xcetera, no negatives here- Ann is the best!

Ann, the owner is one of the sweetest ladies I've ever met and her baking skills are top notch!!! We had a beautiful 3 tier strawberry cake with cream cheese icing a long with vanilla cupcakes we served as party favors!! Both desserts were so so yummy!!! I had multiple guest telling me that they ate 2-3 pieces of cake, which made me really happy!!! Ann not only baked all 160 cupcakes, but she individually boxed and put personal wedding stickers I had ordered on each of the boxes. I offered to help her, but she refused, which am very appreciative of s caste I was up to my neck in wedding to do lists. 🙄 I am so happy we found Ann and wish I could eat her cakes every single day!! I would highly recommend her for any wedding or event!!

Ann did such a fantastic job on our wedding cake. Her price point was out of this world and yet we did not have to sacrifice on anything. I had a unique idea in mind as I wanted a some what traditional style cake that still incorporated some of our multicultural background. Ann worked with my fiance and I on the design and it came out even more beautiful than we could have ever imagined. Ann did a fabulous job with gold piping on our white cake, doing intricate henna like designs all over the cake.
We chose her Tres Leches cake with Vanilla Buttercream icing. Everyone told us the cake was one of the best they have ever had. Everything was a blur on our wedding day, but the next day we dove into the leftovers and they were right- the cake was perfect! Delicious, moist and gorgeous!
We definitely recommend Kakes Xcetera; the value of what she provided can not be beat!

My cake was beautiful and delicious. I got a white cake with vanilla mousse and vanilla buttercream icing. The cake was moist and full of flavor. Everyone loved it and gave lots of compliments. I ordered my cake for 150 people and she included extra servings. The price was very good, $487.50 for the cake itself and $100 added for a stand rental, delivery/setup/cutting(which she does herself) and the real orchids I wanted. I was very happy and pleased with Ann's service and results.

From start to finish, I loved my experience with Ann. We met her at her house to have a tasting. She asked for 3 flavors I would want to try. When we arrived, she had made several cupcakes in all of the flavors I asked for. And they were heavenly!!!
We hired her on the spot, and she was very professional and willing to do exactly what I wanted. I chose something that was harder to do, but she researched and found a way to do it for me!
My bridal cake and the grooms cake were so delicious, and looked amazing. Everyone could not stop talking about her cakes.
My favorite, and one flavor in my wedding cake, the lemon cake with lemon curd.... The best I have EVERRR tasted!!

My husband and I tried out a couple of different cake places, but this one was the best! We were able to meet up with Ann, the wonderful baker. She let us taste test 3 different kinds of cake and frosting while we discussed with her what we were looking for. We originally asked for a 2-tier cake (though we wanted more) to keep the cost down, but she was kind enough to give us a 4-tier for the same price! We were able to get 2 tiers of chocolate cake and 2 tiers of strawberry, and everything was really delicious (I wish my husband and I had had more time to eat it, :). Ann also offered to stay at the wedding after delivery so she could cut the cake for us, which we were very grateful for. After having issues with other parts of the wedding, the cake was so easy. We loved it!

Ann waited up late for me on the day of my tasting when I ended up lost an hour away, and then delivered a sample of her red velvet to me the next day when I told her after i got to the tasting that I wanted to try it. It was sooo good!! Our wedding cake was beautiful, looking exactly like the inspiration I had shown her, with the changes I asked for prefect. Also, the groom's cake, designed to look like my husband's motorcycle was amazing, the look on his face when he saw it made it that much better! Thanks Ann for making my cakes beautiful!

After going to several bakeries and not feeling that they enjoyed what they did, Ann was a breath of fresh air. Her prices were very affordable compaired with all the other places we went to. She was also close to our venue so did not charge us a delivery fee. Ann does cakes as a side job and truely enjoys it as a hobby. We met at her home and she had 6 cupcakes waiting for us in the flavors we had previously discused. While we only ate 1 of each flavor, she gave us the remaining to take with us. Our guests loved the both cakes. We had a white cake with bavarian cream and a red velvet with cream cheese frosting. There was an even balance of cake, to filling to frosting and was very tasty.
