About this vendor
Welcome to Kendra's Country Bakery where every cake is customized to suit your needs! My initial inspiration comes from my grandparents. Although I was young when they passed, I can still remember my grandfather's signature red buttercream rose hidden on every cake. In the beginning, while raising my family with my husband, I was so excited to get into the baking world and learn what it had to offer. I had been baking for years so I decided to do what I love and share it with others!
This is our 15th year in the wedding industry and we've learned that our family works well as a team, and we are successful because of that teamwork, as well as our dedication, creativity and passion.
We are honored to have been recognized nine times by Wedding Wire with Couple's Choice Awards due to many of our stellar reviews in 2015-2017, 2019, 2020- 2025. We have also received local honors at the Payson Business Showcase for 2015 & 2016, as well as "Best Taste" in the 2016 and 2019 Taste of the Rim competitions. Over the years we have honed our craft as cake artists by taking valuable trainings to advance in being innovative and current in cake design.
My daughters and I work together to create delicious and beautiful masterpieces for all events. We would like to share our joy of baking and cake art with you. We adore what we do and are grateful for the opportunity to serve. Every cake tells a story; let us tell yours!

Kendra and Maureen were fantastic to work with for our wedding! From the start, they were clear about expectations. When we went for our tasting and consultation, we couldn't belie...
ve how many options there were between the icing flavors, fillings, and cake flavors themselves! They had a thorough process for helping us figure out what we wanted from a decoration perspective, and then helped us figure out how much we needed to get everyone plenty of dessert!
Ultimately, we went with a lemon flavored cake and icing, with blueberry and strawberry fillings depending on the layer! We also purchased chocolate cupcakes with a mint frosting. All of it was delicious!
When it came to getting the items delivered, Kendra and Maureen coordinated with our venue to ensure that instructions were clear and the food was stored appropriately so that the quality was top notch. We would highly recommend them for any cake related needs!

Not only did they offer a large variety of samples, it was ALL HOMEMADE which made it so hard to choose because EVERYTHING was sooo good! They took all of our wishes and exceeded our expectations with their talent! The centerpiece they created was stunning and they even incorporated a large manzanita branch which is symbolic of where we met! So sweet! They truly made our love story come to life!
Our guests are still talking about our charcuterie style dessert table! A stunning three tiered centerpiece cake and a huge variety of their homemade desserts with fresh fruit and cannolis too! We definitely got what we paid for AND MORE! They were so kind and gifted us some extras for booking!
If you are on the fence about hiring Kendra's, don't be! Get them on your vendor list, you won't be disappointed! Worth every penny! If you want to wow your guests and have an amazing centerpiece that actually tastes good….you HAVE TO book Kendra’s! Hands down the best! We highly recommend!

day, you can see the love and pride this family has in their business. We ordered cupcakes for our guests, and they were a huge hit! They were so delicious that my wife and I didn't get to taste every flavor—we actually ran out by the end of the night. All of our friends and family loved that they could choose their own cupcake flavors.
Maureen also helped us decorate our dessert table, which made everything so much easier for us!
Thank you, Kendra and Maureen, for the delicious cupcakes and all the love you put into our wedding. You both are the best, and we look forward to ordering more cupcakes to enjoy in the future!

fresh as it looked. The presentation was stunning—exactly like what you see online, if not better. Our 12-foot dessert table was filled with beautifully crafted treats, giving our guests so many delicious options to enjoy.
Not only were they professional and communicative throughout the entire process, but they also handled an unexpected challenge with ease. On the day of our wedding, it rained, and they were incredibly flexible, ensuring everything was perfectly set up despite the weather.
I can’t recommend them enough for anyone in need of a reliable, professional baker for their event. The quality, attention to detail, and level of service were truly top-notch!
From start to finish, Kendra’s was amazing. We easily scheduled a tasting and they were supportive of our crazy ideas for our wedding cake. We were able to come up with our own com...
binations of cake and icing flavors and for each layer! They were also very professional and super nice and were pleasant to work with. It’s been a couple years and we still dream of that cake! We also still hear compliments from our families on the red velvet cake with cookies and cream filling and the carrot cake with the caramel buttercream ;). Oh, and they were able to make my vision come true of how I wanted the cake the look on the outside and it was beautiful!
Kendra and Maureen did a fantastic job with my wedding cake. It was exactly what I imagined and was delicious. I received many, many compliments from our guests. They were thoughtf...

wedding cake (kransekagge) despite not having lots of experience making them. They set aside a special box for us to try our desserts in case we were too busy to enjoy them during our big day! And the most important part of our entire experience with any and all vendors was that they provided us with friendly, prompt, and kind customer service. We will be finding reasons to use them in the future!

ake a piece of cake. Through emails and calls, our cake showcased our love of the outdoors with local wildflowers and textures that replicated wood. Our cake was added to our whimsical day!

Bakery.
Kendra and Maureen make the tasting experience alone an event. They have a questionnaire to learn the couples style and design thoughts. They take copious notes. The flavors are all amazing!
We opted for a two tier cutting cake and several dozen cupcakes so we could have a number of flavors.
They helped us choose just the right amount of cake. We had very few leftovers. Everyone commented on the beauty and flavors!
The cake is made completely from scratch and cannot be compared to the average wedding cake. Perfectly moist cake with appropriately sweet frosting!
I would 1000000% recommend using them! From the very beginning we were welcomed in with a warm embrace and a super fun cake testing. I am gluten free/vegan but my husband is not. T...
hey had AMAZING options for the both of us! Everyone loved every single item that they created, and if they lived closer, I would grab something from them every weekend. Do not use anyone else! They are the absolute sweetest and BEST!!!
Kendra’s Bakery was so amazing to work with! They designed our wedding cake exactly how we wanted, even incorporating our two dog cake toppers on top! We had an Italian lemon cake ...

You can tell they use quality ingredients and were very helpful in finding us something that fit our budget. They did the whole set up for us so we didn’t have to worry about a thing. I would highly recommend them!

Kendra and Maureen with Kendra’s Country Bakery we’re absolutely fantastic from day one! We married in Payson, AZ in May 2022 and could not be happier to have chosen them for our s...
pecial day! From the first contact, they were quick to respond and were very receptive and flexible in my indecision along the way. Our first meeting for cake tasting further validated that we picked the right people as they were warm and welcoming. Their communication is impeccable and they stayed in contact with me for several months prior to our big day, making changes as requested. I was apprehensive at first in handing over the reigns to let them put their personal touch on the vision I had for our cake, cupcakes and brownies but their confidence and expertise did not disappoint! When I first saw our sweets table upon our grand entrance, I was blown away! They took a vision and completely exceeded expectation! The display was beautiful and flavor and consistency of everything, immaculate and delicious. I can not say more good about Kendra and Maureen and highly recommend them for any of your baking needs!
Kendras Country Bakery knocked our small cake out of the park. Not only was the finished cake beautiful and exactly what we had asked for but it tasted amazing!
Words can't even describe how good and beautiful our cake and cupcakes were? I requested lemon cake infused with wild berry and carrot cake with caramel. It was amazing! The cake w...

aste testing for the couple, beautiful presentation and seriously the most delicious cake ever!
My Husband and I were blown away by how perfectly Kendra and Maureen were able to bring our wedding vision to life. Everything looked and tasted amazingly...to the point that there...
was nothing to take home at the night except for a few pieces of cake.
Now for the showstopper, the grooms cake. Kendra and Maureen did such an amazing job on making a small welder out of a cake that folks actually thought someone forgot to put away a welder at the venue and then we had folks arguing over whether or not anything was plastic/real, but of course they were able to make all of the components edible and even included the safety sheet in the back.
Not only was their workmanship amazing, but they made you feel as if you had known them for years when talking to them which made working with them that much easier. The only thing that I wish is that they weren't 4 hours away from where we live so that we could use them for every celebration in our life, but I am sure we will find an excuse to use them again in the future.
Kendra's bakery was truly incredible!!! They created a cookie/cupcake table "charcuterie" style". The display was absolutely breathtaking and the desserts were delicious. Kendra...
and her team spent quality time setting the table up and it came together beautifully. Very reasonably priced, too, for all the time and details that went into the creation.
