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.

he 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! :)

rder. 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!

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!

She did such a fantastic job and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a fantastic bakery!
