Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot
Kristen's Cottage is a Thornton, CO-based company that provides quality custom cakes, cupcakes, and sugar cookies for your wedding celebration. I love working with couples to create a cake that is as special and unique as they are to share with their family and friends on their special day!
I've been baking and decorating cakes for 11 years, and got my first taste of the wedding cake business after my sister asked me to create a cake for her special day. With my company Kristen's Cottage, I work to give every couple the deliciously designed cake they're looking for. Whether you are looking for a traditional tiered cake or an assortment of cupcakes with a cutting cake for pictures (or anything in between!), I believe your wedding cake should be a reflection of you, the happy couple.
I offer consultations and private tastings to help you decide on the flavor combination you want. My custom wedding cake designs can range from simple elegance to colorful and whimsical. Send me a message, and let's get started making your big day a dream come true!

I started baking and decorating cakes eleven years ago, when my daughter was born. Who knew how much I would love it?! What started as a fun, creative project for birthdays became a lot more necessary when we discovered her tree nut allergy in 2016. Rather than taking a chance, I bake her treats at home, where I know we can keep her safe.
My sister asked me to do her wedding cake (the square basketweave cake you can see in my gallery), and I was hooked! Now I'm baking under Cottage Law, out of my home, with the goal of opening an officially nut-free bakery one day.

Kristen did an amazing job from beginning to end during our process. The cake tastings were wonderful, and she was very responsive and easy to work with to bring our vision to life. Our vendor failed to note that she had coordinated delivery for the day of the wedding and had us in a panic, but Kristen was there on time with a beautiful cake! Everything was perfect and we highly recommend her!

I would strongly recommend Kristen's Cottage bakery for your wedding cake(s). We got exactly what we wanted at a very reasonable price. We were interested in something less traditional, and accommodating to guests with dietary restrictions. The cakes and cupcakes were absolutely delicious, and there were only crumbs left at the end of the reception! Kristen worked with us on absolutely every detail, and we couldn't be more grateful for our beautiful desserts!

Kristen was such a delight to work with. I had so many ideas that I passed along, and Kristen steered me in the right direction on absolutely every one of them! After the taste test, we LOVED the way Kristen's raspberry spread was, and asked if we could use it as a filling- Kristen was so willing to go above and beyond, and do it for us, and they turned out perfect. When I asked for specific things, Kristen steered me in an even better direction, making my wedding day (and cakes, of course!) absolutely perfect. I could not have asked for a better place to have my cake from than Kristens Cottage. I am forever grateful to you, thank you for all you did to make my day perfect!

Where do I begin? Our son was getting married in Colorado and we are from New Jersey. I was researching on line to find a local baker to make a wedding cake and specialty cupcakes. I came across Kristen’s Cottage and reached out to her to set up a cake testing. We flew out for a visit and met with Kristen. Her cakes were amazing and her frosting was to die for. She was so accommodating and listened to my son and daughter in law’s creative flavor ideas for their cakes. Kristen came through not only with her delicious cakes but included a setup that added to the beautiful venue. They chose a s’more cake as their wedding cake and had classic vanilla cupcakes with chocolate frosting, s’more cupcakes, French toast cupcakes with vanilla frosting and maple syrup drizzle and cookies and cream cupcakes topped with a mini Oreo. Our guests could not stop raving about them. I highly recommend Kristen’s Cottage to anyone planning an event. Her professionalism and bakery skills are phenomenal. Thank you to Kristen for helping my son and daughter in law have the wedding of their dreams!

Kristen was incredible! The cake was absolutely out of this world. We went with the lemon flavor for our wedding cake but it was a hard decision! All the flavors we sampled were exceptional. I highly recommend Kristen’s Cottage for your cake needs!

Kristen’s cakes are delicious, and the cake looked exactly like my Pinterest inspiration. Such a stunning cake to put on display at my reception. The guests loved it! There were no leftovers whatsoever!

Kristen baked the wedding cake for our wedding in September 2022. She was so prompt and professional in all of our interactions with her; out of all our wedding vendors, she was the easiest to communicate and work with. We had a white cake with white chocolate icing and raspberry filling, and it tasted amazing the day of the wedding. Wedding cake was really important for me, and Kristen was able to deliver a beautiful, elegant cake that, most importantly, was delicious. We will definitely order from Kristen again given our good experience with her for our wedding. Her prices were also very reasonable. We highly, highly recommend!!

Kristen was extremely accommodating and more than willing to make our day as stress free as possible. We had the carrot cake with the brown sugar frosting & the flavor absolutely FLOORED us. We have struggled to find a cake that compares. Not to mention that she replicated exactly how i was envisioning our cake, & it was gorgeous. Pricing was reasonable too! 10/10 would definitely recommend!

Kristen did the cake for our wedding and it was amazing! Working with her on flavor and look was super easy and she nailed what we were looking for! We had a Pumpkin Spice cake decorated to look like an Aspen tree. The design was stellar and all our guests loved it!

Kristen was so sweet and easy to work with and the cakes were absolutely incredible!! The Apple cinnamon cake with brown sugar icing was a huge hit and so many people came up to us to tell us how much they loved the cake. The wedding photographer said it was one of her absolute favorites she’s had and asked for Kristen’s info so she can refer her other clients. :)

Kristen was amazing to work with from start to finish. She had a wide variety of delicious flavors to choose from, which made it easy for us to build our dream wedding cake. Our cake was beautiful and it tasted absolutely divine. Several of our guests and vendors went out of their way to compliment the cake and said that it was the best wedding cake they had ever had! We’re so happy that Kristen made our cake and we can’t wait to eat the piece that we have stashed away in our freezer. 🥰

Our cake by Kristen was the best cake we’ve ever had - like seriously we couldn’t stop talking about it (or eating it!!) Kristen was so professional, kind and went out of her way to make sure our cake was beautiful and exactly what we wanted. I highly highly recommend using her for your wedding/events!!!

Kristen of Kristen's Cottage made the PERFECT wedding cake for my wedding in 2017. She customized my cake flavors to match my and my husband's different tastes (I love funfetti; he's a red velvet guy!), and she was happy to take on the challenge of making a new flavor for our final tier! She made delicious buttercream icing, in the most beautiful basket weave pattern, and handmade royal icing lilies (which were the icing on the cake - literally!). It was exactly what I dreamt of!!! I recommend her, 100%, if you are in need of cupcakes or cakes; her attention to detail and the level of professionalism and kindness are unmatched!

Kristen and Jeremy were awesome. We asked for something classy, elegant and delicious, and they delivered on all three. We sent the a few different photos to give an idea of our vision and Kristen absolutely nailed it. They were also so kind and helpful throughout the process. They took us through and explained our options in language that made sense to us. It was no problem that we asked for several different flavors throughout our three layers, and all were amazing. We had so many compliments on the delicious cake from guests! And they were the best price got during our search!
