Katie from Love Story Cakes was fantastic to work with! She quickly responded to all emails and was flexible throughout the process. She set up a tasting for us to make sure we loved our wedding cake flavor. The cake not only looked beautiful but was delcious as well! She even had the option to add gluten free cupcakes for gluten free guests. We cannot recommend Love Story Cakeds enough!

We decided to use Love Story Cakes after seeing her beautiful pictures on The Knot. From the start, we were very happy with how Katie arranged for our tasting and meeting. She was...
very responsive and answered all questions in a timely manner. We met at a coffee shop and talked through dessert options over six months in advance of our wedding as we were anxious to get our cake and dessert plans settled. We were pleasantly surprised at how affordable our wedding cake was. We opted for a 6 inch round on the bottom with a 4 inch round on top. Our florist left flowers for Katie to arrange on the cake after we gave her some inspiration photos. It turned out absolutely beautiful and we couldn’t have been happier. To make it even better, it was absolutely delectable. We opted to serve gourmet cupcakes in addition to our small private wedding cake. The cupcakes were gone very quickly in the night, so I would recommend purchasing more than one per person like we did!
I would highly recommend Katie at Love Story Cakes for your bakery needs!

le. There were so many delicious flavor options to choose from, and the tasting was such a fun and memorable part of our planning. She was incredibly flexible with scheduling and made every step feel smooth and stress free.
Katie had an impressive amount of knowledge and creativity when it came to design. She offered a wide range of ideas and styles to choose from. She listened to our vision and helped bring it to life in a way that was even better than we imagined.
The final cake was beyond beautiful. It was elegant, perfectly styled, and truly the centerpiece of our dessert table. Katie also incorporated some fresh flowers from our florist, and the result was absolutely stunning. We received countless compliments throughout the night, and so many guests asked who made the cake and cupcakes because they were that good!
Katie delivered not just on flavor and design but on the entire experience. We are so grateful for her talent and professionalism and would recommend her to absolutely anyone looking for something truly special!
