Sage cakery has my heart! I am a big desserts gal, and when we first consulted with Nikkie we were blown away at all the options they offer. She answered all of our questions, gave awesome suggestions and we really let her take the lead! She tr...
uly knows what’s best!! After consulting we were introduced to Ally, who is an absolute gem. We ended up making some changes to our order and she changed them all seamlessly and made the process so smooth for us. We did a small chocolate cake, brownies, pumpkin cheesecake bars, salted caramel cupcakes, warm cocoa cupcakes, chocolate chip cookies and snickerdoodles. Every dessert was delicious and unique, all of our guests loved all the sweets. 10000% recommend Nikkie, Ally, and the whole team at Sage Cakery for all of your dessert needs!

Our beautiful and tasty wedding cake was made by Sage Cakery! We had a great tasting experience with them. We came running after a planned one gone wrong and they set us up when we arrived. Sage was easy to book and communicate with as the wed...
ding approached to finalize the details. The cake came out exactly as expected and tasted great! I would recommend sage cakery, especially if you have dietary restrictions you want or need to accommodate! We ordered gluten free cupcakes for our guests who would need them. My one regret is not cc'ing my coordinator on my correspondence with them as the added cupcakes to our order were not delivered on the day of our wedding with our cake. We were reimbursed for them in full and were overall satisfied with Sage Cakery!
Response from the Vendor on 11/21/2022

From the beginning, the Sage Cakery team went above and beyond to ensure that we had our dream cake on our wedding day. In addition to figuring out how to assist us with a cake tasting from a different state, the team really worked with us to n...
ail down our design and flavors, being super patient through a few rounds of revisions. In the end, they absolutely nailed it! The cake truly looked like something off of Pinterest and it tasted fantastic! We were so impressed with their skills and truly cannot recommend Sage Cakery enough!

Working with Ally at Sage Cakery was a pleasure! We were looking for a bakery that did gluten free options since some of our guests have Celiac. Their desserts were so delicious! Also, they have so many options to pick from! Usually, when you l...
ook for GF treats you only get one or two choices. Everything we had at our wedding was GF. It was very helpful, as well, that they provided all the stands and necessities for cutting the cake. The set up was beautifully done!

Sage Cakery was great to work with! We were having a small wedding in Gambrill State Park but still wanted a really great cake. We tried a sample box and so many great flavors it was hard to choose. We settled on a chai spice half-naked cake,...
and then had red velvet mini cupcakes, gluten free s'mores cupcakes, and salted caramel bars. Everything was so good! I would definitely recommend them and I'm hoping to order from them again for future events.

Blackberry Sage is a favorite for sure, we are so glad that you loved it! Thank you so much for your support, and we hope to bake for you all again in the future.
We used Sage Cakery for our 9/17/21 wedding and the cake was incredible. All of our vendors did an amazing job, but the cake was definitely the #1 thing people raved about. I have some food allergies and Sage Cakery was so accommodating which r...

We are so honored that you chose to work with us and appreciative of your praise. Thank you for letting us be a part of your special day!
The best. Amazing (and shockingly affordable!) with allergen-friendly options. We went with a GF vegan almond cake for our wedding (hands-down best cake we've EVER had), and a dessert bar for guests. People still rave about the cardamom pear cu...
pcakes and smores bars. Creative, delicious, fantastic team!! Everything was also so beautiful, and exactly what we asked for cake-wise.
Such a great decision using Sage Cakery! We ordered a cake for our downsized 2020 ceremony and for our 2021 postponed reception and both were so delicious! Thank you Nikki!
Response from the Vendor on 08/02/2021
Thanks Megan! We were so happy to be able to bake for your wedding, not once but twice! We appreciate your kindness and hope to see you again soon!

Thank you Caris! It was so great to work with you for your wedding. We can't wait to bake for you again!
Nikki helped me to design a surprise groom's cake and our couple's wedding cake! She was extremely attentive, courteous, and brought our vision to life. Planning a wedding in 2020 brought enough stress and knowing that Nikki was able to fit our...
wedding date into her schedule, make design recommendations, and really go above and beyond on the final cakes made us feel like there was one less thing to worry about. The cakes were delicious and maintained their look/structure even in the outdoor setup. Thank you again!
We knew we needed to hire Sage Cakery as soon as we started to wedding plan for our local wedding. I didn’t even look at another bakery. Sage Cakery made my bridal shower desserts, made cupcakes for my groom for his bachelor party and for the g...
rand finale our wedding cake. We had a virtual cake consultation which was so special, we got to take a cake box with a variety of delicious flavors home and taste them before chatting with Nikkie. She was so flexible in adjusting styles based on the flavor we chose and was so great to work with. Highly recommend Sage Cakery, not just for wedding cakes but honestly any and all your dessert needs.
Nikki was absolutely wonderful to work with. So talented and creative! We showed our design and Nikkie brought it to life. The cakes? Absolutely delicious with very unique flavors and allergy accommodations, as well as many options for rentals ...
(cake stands, etc.). Very flexible with take-home tastings and virtual consultations amidst the unprecedented COVID craziness. The cake tasting boxes were amazing. And the cake the day of? DELICIOUS. Our guests raved about our cake. We are excited to try more flavors for future birthdays/holidays/events! Highly recommend to anyone!!!
Working with Nikki was so easy and she did an amazing job! Due to covid, we had to shift a lot of things (including the date) and she was very flexible. On top of everything, her desserts are delicious. We could not have asked for a better bake...

Nikkie was so amazing to work with for our wedding! We had so many delicious options for our dessert bar (mini cupcakes, cookies, brownies, lemon squares, mini doughnuts, AND a cake) that fit different dietary needs. Her flavors are unique and ...

Response from the Vendor on 12/01/2019
Thanks Kelsey! It was so nice to get to see you all when I came back to break down the display. And so ironic that there were TWO MINI VANILLA cupcakes as the only things left on the table, for you two to get to enjoy a bite together when it ...
settled down. Your wedding was dreamy, and we were happy to be a part of it all.
Nikkie is amazing! She was such a joy to work with. Her cakes are to die for and her attention to detail is exceptional. I would highly recommend hiring her for any of your baked good needs! Our wedding cake was a three tiered naked cake with t...

Response from the Vendor on 12/01/2019
Erin, thank you so much for choosing us to create the perfect cake for your big day. I absolutely love how it all came together. Wishing you the best in love and life! <3 Until we meet again! :)
Nikkie went above and beyond our expectations for a dessert "bar" for our wedding! We had several different types of dessert bars (apple ones were TO DIE FOR), cake pops, and mini cupcakes. We had a small cake to cut, which was chocolate peanut...
butter - seriously so good! The display was so beautiful, and exactly what we asked for. Nikkie was even willing to display donuts from an orchard in addition to the many desserts she provided.
Nikkie was our number one vendor for communication. Her responses are always quick and I knew I could count on her for the day of the wedding! Her prices are very reasonable. Would highly recommend to anyone for cake, desserts, etc! Also, her bakery is so cute! Can't go wrong with hiring Sage Cakery for your next event!

much love and happiness! Congratulations! <3
Nikkie was AMAZING! My husband and I searched and searched for a bakery to understand our vision, and Nikkie was just that!
She was kind, understanding and a true artist!
She made our wedding cake look and most importantly taste amazing.
I am ...
a huge chocolate lover and when I said I wanted a chocolate “naked” cake I got some looks for friends and family but Nikkie didn’t bat an eye, she turned my vision to life!
Thank you Nikkie for the amazing wedding cake and the birthday cakes we got throughout the year from you! Any special occasion, I know where I’m going for sweets <3

As a kid I loved to bake. I used to make this berry streusel recipe for just about anyone that would let me bake for them, and it still brings me just as much joy to create something that makes someone smile. Baking and cake artistry are labors of love, and I'm exploding with it. Meticulously crafting confections that are a feast for your eyes as much as your tummy. My love for flowers is just about over the top. I love to create arrangements on cakes either fresh, or hand made from sugar by yours truly. I am constantly evolving as an artist, and love learning new techniques.
