Our cupcakes and cake came from the wonderful Katie Matusiak! She is amazing to work with and affordable prices!
We were thrilled with our wedding cake. It was so cute, so moist, and so delicious when we did our cake cutting! It fit our estetic perfectly! Guests are still raving (several weeks later) about the delicious flavors of cupcakes we had! She has a variety of yummy flavors to choose from, it was hard to decide. We went with 4 different flavors and were not disappointed!
The entire process was seamless while working with Katie! We highly recommend Katie for anyone looking for a perfect match for their wedding cake and cupcake needs! 🙂.
We had Katie as our baker for our wedding cake and she did an extraordinary job and we really enjoyed her. Very easy to communicate with and no stress on our end We had a high standard and she met it :)
Katie was delightful to work with and her confections are creative and delicious! We hired her for our wedding cake and desserts at the Hershey Gardens and she was a true pro—we asked for floral and color and she certainly delivered! The lemon cake with raspberry buttercream was the perfect ending to our reception. The decorations on the cake—the piping, florals, and topper placement—were all incredible. We can't recommend her enough!
We were very happy with our dessert table! The guests raved about the selections and taste. We will definitely use Katie again for other occasions.
Katie was wonderful! I had so many decisions to make and was not up to making anymore. When my husband and I sat with Katie I left it in her hands to make something special. That’s exactly what we got. The cake was beautiful, tasty and we got so many compliments on it. I highly recommend her expertise. Many people who attended are wedding came up to us and said they got several pieces and enjoyed it.
My husband and I got married at the Hershey Country Club in August 2024 and Katie was one of the cake vendors they worked with that had the cake included in our package! We had a 3 tiered applesauce cake with cream cheese frosting that was incredible! Katie even made a whole extra layer for us just in case it wasn’t enough for our 160 guests. We appreciated how she did the cake testing with different cupcakes and frosting combination recommendations. My brother and sister-in-law also recently had Katie make their Pooh Bear inspired baby shower cake. Our whole family can’t recommend Katie’s cakes enough!
"Our wedding cake was absolutely stunning! Not only did it look gorgeous, but it tasted incredible as well. The cake artist perfectly captured our vision and exceeded our expectations. We received so many compliments from our guests. Highly recommend!"
Impeccable attention to detail. My guests loved the desserts so much they asked for to go containers to take the extras home! She was very easy to communicate with and very helpful with suggestions. 10/10!
Katie made our desert bar for our 7/5/24 wedding in Harrisburg! Guests were raving about how delicious and fresh all of the deserts were! We also had a small cake made to cut for the two of us and it was out of this world! Thank you Katie for you services!
Working with Katie was very easy. We were able to get samples prior to our event determine what we liked best. Our cake was delicious and exactly as we requested. Highly recommend, thank you.
Our cake was absolutely PERFECT and exactly what we asked for. The cake itself was delicious - honestly the best wedding cake we’ve ever eaten. It looked so beautiful and we were just so thrilled with it.
We ended up doing a cupcake tower with a small cake on top. It was fantastic. The design of the cupcakes and cake was beautiful and she was really able to cater to what we wanted. The flavors were outstanding and the cake itself was so light and airy! Everyone loved them! Highly recommend!!
Katie is fantastic! We worked with her to create our wedding cake as well as some other small desserts for a dessert table. She was super easy to work with, and her desserts were AMAZING! Many of our guests said it was the best cake they have ever tasted. 10/10 recommend!
My husband and I used Katie as our baker for our wedding day. She was a dream to work with. She is a very talented baker, and made my wedding cake dreams come true. She took my inspiration and brought it to life. We ordered a cake for the two of us to cut, and then cupcakes for our guests. All of our guests raved about how good the cupcakes were. We ordered a chocolate cake, and it was the best chocolate cake we have ever had. I would highly recommend hiring Katie as your baker. You, and your guests, will not be disappointed!
We really appreciated working w Katie. She made the entire process easy and was very accommodating in regards to options the day of our ceremony. It was so hard to choose from all of the wonderful flavor options she had! Her carrot cake was some of the best I have ever had!
It was not easy finding a cake decorator thatI liked amd that had an amazing personality, until I met Katie. As soon as I met her for the cake tasting I knew I had to have her as the cake decorator for my wedding. Not only did Katie do the cake but she also made cupcakes for all the quests. Katie has a wonderful personality and is so easy to talk to and bounce ideas of off. Her creatations were so delicious that I wish I still had left over cake and cupcakes to eat. My family still talks about how wonderful everything tasted and how much they wish they lived closer so they could enjoy her desserts for every occasion. I tell everyone I can about how much they NEED to use her if they are in need of anything sweet. Thanks Katie, for an amazing touch to the best day ever! :)
Katie was so great to work with!! She was extremely accommodating and although we couldn't make it to her for a tasting she provided us with a lovely sample box that allowed my future husband and I to have an intimate tasting in the privacy of our home. When it came to the wedding day she made all our dreams come true. She provided us with a beautiful wedding cake, cupcakes, and cakepops. Everything was extremely tasty and our guests could not stop talking about the sweet treats. 10/10 recommend Katie every time!!
We are so thrilled Katie made the cake and cupcakes for our wedding. We tried several local bakeries and she was, hands down, the best. Her flavors were impressive and we fell in LOVE with all her frostings. From start to finish, she was easy to work with. She even took a family recipe and turned it into a cupcake for us! Thank you so much, everything was perfect
Katie was fantastic to work with! Our wedding cake and cupcakes were beautiful and delicious. She also did a great job setting up our cupcake display. I'd definitely recommend Katie Cakes Cakery!
Katie was so easy to work with and her baking is to die for! To start, she was beyond helpful with the taste testing; we are not local to her shop so she was nice enough to ship samples to us and even a couple days old the samples were absolutely amazing! She worked with us to make sure we had the perfect selection for our event and all the cupcakes came out absolutely deliciously. We had barely any cupcakes to take home! Highly recommend!
Katie makes the best cake around. We received so many compliments by our guests about how good these cakes were and who I got them from. I would highly recommend Katie and order from her again.
Katie's cakes are amazing! Katie was very attentive and professional from the beginning. Her creativity and skill, as well as her ability to seek to understand exactly what we were looking for made the process seamless. Thank you, Katie for bringing our vision to life and creating a memory that will last a lifetime.
Hands down best wedding cake we ever had. Katie was on the ball with everything throughout our process. We did a 4 tier cake with each tier being a different flavor and it looked and tasted incredible. Guests loved it as much as we did. Would 110% recommend working with Katie for your big day!
We received sooo many amazing comments regarding our wedding cake!! It was such a HUGE hit! I feel like normally it's just eh wedding cake - but this was not the case! Everyone lovedddd it!
Also the design was exactly what we wanted - classic, elegant and beautiful. Katie was extremely easy to work with and made the process fun! Highly recommend!
Y'all BOOK KATIE! Everything was DELICIOUS! I can't wait until they ship cupcakes, because y'allllll I'm gonna be ordering once a week 😂. But seriously, everything was a hit, everyone had something great to say about our dessert table!
Katie was wonderful to work with and responsive to requests. Beautiful design and fabulous tasting red velvet wedding cake! And Katie did some gorgeous mini cheesecakes that were to die for! Will use her services again and again!
Katie was amazing to work with, from getting the tasting box, planning, and day of our wedding. Wonderful and easy communication. The best part? Her cake is the absolute best! Amazingly delicious and beautiful. All of our guests commented on how fantastic the cake and cupcakes were. So grateful we had Katie as our baker for our wedding!
This cake was absolutely amazing. Great pricing and it was just beautiful. I am so happy I went with katie cakes & I would highly recommend her to any bride or any event. The cake was delicious and beautiful!
We got our wedding cake from Katie. It was beautiful and delicous! The hardest part was narrowing it down to just one cake and frosting flavor. We ultimately went with raspberry frosting with cholocate cake. Rave reviews from all our guests. I would highly recommend!
Katie is Wonderful to work with. I was able to give a vision of what i was looking for and she produced it with perfection!!! The cupcakes and cake she made for us were absolutely delicious. I'm still getting compliments on the flavors!! I would without a doubt recommend Katie Cakes Cakery!!
Katie's cakes was amazing!! We had a small cake and cupcakes for our wedding last month and they were delicious!! Everyone kept asking us where the cupcakes were from. She did incredible designs on our cake and was even able to incorporate our theme of hidden Mickey Mouses into the cake! She was supper easy to work with and would get back to my questions fairly quickly. I would definitely recommend her to anyone and will be using her for future needs!!
Seriously the best cupcakes I’ve ever had!! Highly recommend for any occasion.
Katie was amazing to work with! She did beautiful work on our cake and cupcakes, and they were absolutely delicious. Our guest came up to us all night raving about how good the cupcakes were. We will definitely be using Katie for future events, and will recommend her to anyone.
Katie was really great and easy to work with! We planned our PA wedding from TX and she was super responsive to emails and had no issues when we ended up postponing our wedding from 2020 to 2021. She was also very accommodating when my mother in law decided she wanted to order cupcakes for our rehearsal dinner about a month before the wedding. The cupcakes and the cake were both delicious! Our cake was gorgeous, we had a lot of compliments on it throughout the night. Really great experience with her all around!
Katie was all around great to work with, for our august wedding! She made suggestions when I needed it. She was always quick to respond. She had no problems making changes to our order. Her design for our cake, and cupcakes were perfect. She understood what my vision was for everything right away. We had an eight foot cake table. I was worried that there was going to be a lot of awkward space on the table. Katie knew exactly what I meant, without hesitation she added three dozen cookies and brought different stands and trays to fill the space. She helped set up the display. The table display was gorgeous and better than I imagined. Her prices fit with our budget and reasonable priced. Every single one of my guests LOVED the flavors and all the variety. We had cake, cupcakes, and cookies with several different flavors, everything tasted/looked amazing. She conveniently had a cupcake tower, and plenty of cakes stands,serving trays for a rental fee of only $25. I absolutely recommend her!
All our deserts were absolutely perfect and delicious. We didn’t have any left at the end of the nigh!
My husband and I recently got married, and we ordered cupcakes and a small cake from Katie. We chose 4 different flavors, all of which were delicious! As a chocolate lover, I fell in love with the chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter icing. Of course, all four of the flavors we had were incredible. The other flavors we chose were almond with raspberry icing, apple cinnamon with cream cheese icing, and a White Russian. The cupcakes and cake weren't only delicious, they were beautiful. Katie also set up the cupcakes and cake, and they looked perfect!
Katie was very responsive to our emails and in general was great to work with. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who wants beautiful cupcakes that are also the best tasting cupcakes ever!
Katie did an absolutely incredible job! The colors, the design, and presentation for my son's wedding was amazing. Every guest thought the cupcakes were BEAUTIFL and YUMMY!!! She even went beyond to include a gluten free option for one guest. The bride and groom LOVED the couples cupcake. I will definitely recommend Katie over and over. Many, Many thanks!!
Katie is amazing to work with! Our cake and dessert table was exactly what I had pictured and everything was DELICIOUS! My husband and I chose the pineapple rum cake which was to die for! Highly recommend everyone to check Katie Cakes Cakery, you will not be disappointed! Thanks so much Katie!
Katie’s wedding cakes were absolutely amazing! We chose three flavors for our cakes, and each one was so delicious! Our guests were raving about each flavor, stating the cake was arguably the best that they have ever had at a wedding. Katie was extremely easy to work with! She assisted us in our cake tasting, and helped to make my vision come to life. When there was some confusion regarding our venue and the placement of the backup cakes, Katie immediately contacted the coordinator and took care of the situation. Highly recommended!
Katie was absolutely amazing! The cake was deee-licious and beautiful! I also had a chance to try the cake pops for my bridal shower and they were the best I've ever had!!! I would highly recommend her for any specialty cakes!!! You won't regret your decision!!
Katie was incredible to work with and her cakes and cupcakes were such a hit at our wedding! Honestly so delicious and truly gorgeous! We plan to order from her in the future for holidays!
Hands down the best cake I've had at a wedding! We had a small wedding cake and cupcakes for the guests. Everyone RAVED about them! Katie was prompt and communicated well with us, she made everything easy despite planning during a pandemic! Highly recommended!
Katies Cakes are so gorgeous and I was beyond thrilled to have my wedding cake done by her! It was exactly what I was envisioning and it tasted even better. My favorite, red velvet with butter cream. It was perfectly rich and moist. I highly recommend Katie Cakes. Very easy to work with, perfect designs, and tastes amazing!
Beyond our expectations!!
Katie is amazing to work with, total confidence in her creations, from the first email I knew that she would be able to make our vision come to life! We had requested a fun/unique wedding cake and Katie blew us away with what she created for us. It was better then I even imagined. If we had it to do all over again, I would choose Katie every time. Guests are still talking about how delicious her carrot cake was!!!
Katie was absolutely amazing. She was prompt with responses and always helpful. The cake was out of this world and I had guests who normally don't like cake coming up to me and saying how wonderful the cake was. There was no cake when the day was done...many people went back for seconds! Katie did a fabulous job!
Katie was super easy to work with and our cake was beautiful. Thanks Katie!
Katie created a cupcake display with a small cake topper for our wedding. Everything looked beautiful and tasted even better. We ordered about 25 extra cupcakes and left with NONE because they were such a huge hit. We had a lemon cake with raspberry filling that was unbelievable. Everything was moist with the perfect amount of sweetness. I would love to use her services again!
I'm a sweets person, and the cake and desserts at our wedding were very important to me (as well as to my mom, from whom I inherited that sweet tooth!). Katie created an absolutely beautiful four-tiered wedding cake for us as well as a dessert table stocked and perfectly styled with trays of cookies, dessert shooters, macarons, and chocolate covered pretzels. Both were not only stunning but also delicious! Katie worked closely and patiently with us throughout the planning process to find options that would achieve our vision within our budget. We are so glad our paths crossed with Katie at a bridal event last year. Very highly recommend!!
My husband and I found Katie through The Knot and were very excited to have a tasting. She was so patient with us while we were tasting and helped us talk through what we liked, didn't like, and what our vision was for our wedding cake. We knew we always wanted a naked cake, but had only seen that style with a red velvet cake. She opened our eyes to other options and was even gave us the option to get two flavors in each layer! Our cake was so delicious and it was BEAUTIFUL!! She did such a fantastic job and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a fantastic bakery!
