Kathryn's Confections

Kathryn makes the best cake and frosting I've ever had, it's just a bonus that our cake was also beautifully designed!

When it came time to pick a wedding cake and find someone to recreate the vision we had in our heads we knew we might have our work cut out for us. She’s allergic to dairy, he’s allergic to nuts, and together we’re challenging to accommodate (especially when it comes to confections). All that being said, we cannot state it emphatically enough: Kathryn was the PERFECT person for the job! Right from the very first phone call she could not have been more accommodating and reassuring. Her willingness to hear us out and her confidence in her ability to get the job done put us at ease right away. She was able to make three cakes which were some of the best vegan desserts we’ve ever tasted and we ended up choosing the Funfetti, which nobody else could even offer us as an option. Kathryn is very laid back and personable which creates a comfortable environment and made our discussion feel like just that, as opposed to a meeting with a vendor. We showed her a picture of how we wanted the cake to be decorated and Kathryn shared in our enthusiasm for how it looked. Not only could she do it but she never gave us a reason to doubt that she could pull it off. Our initial thought process had us just getting a small vegan cake for ourselves and then getting the rest of the desserts for our guests from a local bake shop we were more familiar with. However, after window shopping the display case and subsequently wiping the drool from our faces we found ourselves asking Kathryn more and more questions about other desserts. For X number of guests how many desserts should we have? How many different varieties would you recommend? So forth and so on. Kathryn gave us her honest recommendations and didn’t try to ‘sell’ us on anything. Everything she was saying was making sense, the pricing was very reasonable, timing, delivery, all of the logistics would be taken care of. Essentially, it all boiled down to “tell me what you want, and I’ll make it happen.” What more could you possibly ask for from someone you just met? We left the shop that day stress free; no money down, a promise to hold the date unless she heard otherwise from us, and no hard feelings if we chose to go another route. We looked at each other and we both knew we were going to go with Kathryn’s Confections but didn’t want to rush into anything. Picked out a few things to take home (cannoli, biscotti, chocolate covered Oreos and s’mores bites) and went on our way. One bite into that cannoli and the deal was sealed. Another wedding task scratched off our list, and we never had to think twice. We ended up getting all of our desserts from Kathryn’s Confections: three different kinds of cookies, two different flavors of whoopie pies, cannoli, and of course our vegan Funfetti cake. There were never any concerns about anything and we owe her and her staff a thank you for that alone. Fast forward to the wedding day and everything was perfect. The cake came out better than anything we could have imagined; and all of the desserts were a big hit. We saw a number of guests taking pictures and making multiple trips up to the dessert table, not a single morsel was left at the end of the night. Truthfully, we even had a few people text us the following day asking where the desserts were from because they left such a lasting impression (with an open bar no less).

Kathryn is the best. We've used her for countless other events (showers, birthdays, etc.) and her cakes are SO GOOD we just couldn't imagine using someone else. My now-husband isn't a cake guy - but he LOVES her funfetti with buttercream frosting. We had a gorgeous 3-tier cake at our wedding for 100 people with simple icing and added flowers and a topper, and it was perfect. She was also able to add gluten-free cupcakes for our GF guests, and they were so happy to be able to enjoy the cake. Planning and ordering was a breeze - we highly recommend!

Kathryn made the cupcakes for our wedding and they were DELICIOUS and GORGEOUS! She did an amazing job and was able to customize them exactly how we wanted.
