I bought my wedding cake from Sage Cakery and it was perfect! We got a blackberry sage flavored cake which was delicious and beautiful.
Booking Sage Cakery to make our wedding cake was one of the highlights of the wedding. As someone that loves cakes, I was so looking forward to trying Sage on my wedding day and I ...
was thoroughly impressed by the quality of their cakes. My husband generally doesn’t like cake as much, but even he loved the ones they made for us. The blackberry sage was a huge hit, and the decoration on the cake could not have been more stunning. It was exactly what we asked for and more. They worked with us too to add a topper my mom made for us and it looked perfect on top of the beautiful cake. We can’t wait to get another cake from them on our anniversary!
We ordered cupcakes and a small cutting cake.they were all delicious. People raved about them. We got lemon filled, raspberry filled, Ferrio Roche, and Earl Grey with blueberry ...
filling (my personal favorite). They delivered them on time and everything went smoothly. Their communication was great. I highly recommend them.
Cupcakes? You got it? Tasty? You got it? Presentation? Oh, you got it! This is the type of bakery that knows what they are doing. From tasty treats to awesome presentation, Sage is...
definitely the Fairy Godmother of all bakeries. Delicousness and uniqueness all blended into one awesome occasion that just makes you think, "Geez, why couldn't my past parties have this experience?" Let them do this for you, trust me. They are worth evey cost and just saying cost is like, "Cost? This is a budget my friend. You pay less for an extravagent experience.'
Sage Cakery was AMAZING. The cupcakes i ordered were discussed for 3 days by various guests at the wedding for how DELICIOUS and pretty they were! they delivered on timam the bri...
de and married at historic oakland manor on Nov 2. I offered around 80 to 100 various cupcakes and a 6 inch cake for around 650ish.
Sage Cakery was great to work with on our wedding day. We visited several cake vendors and the options that were provided to us by Sage were by far the best tasting. We were able t...
o choose different flavors for each cake layer. Plus, the design on the outside of the cake was custom-made by their artist just by showing them inspiration pictures from my Pinterest board. They delivered the cake on time as requested. We received numerous kudos from our guests on the cake, and we would highly recommend them!
We had a wonderful experience working with Sage Cakery. The in-person tasting and planning session was a lot of fun and all of the cake samples were delicious. The wedding cake was...

We could not be happier working with Sage for our wedding on 11/2/24. I knew after looking at their work that they had exactly what we wanted (small simple cake with a large variet...
y for a dessert table), and they were very accommodating to work with us even after having a booked schedule. They were easy to work with to customize our desserts, arrived on time to deliver everything (with a beautiful set-up) and most importantly, everything tasted amazing!! The cake pops especially were an absolute hit. We couldn't recommend Sage Cakery enough!

My guests RAVED about the cake from Sage. The look, the taste. We got a lemon cake with raspberry jam and their signature blackberry sage, and I think the blackberry was the star o...
f the show. I changed the look for the cake I wanted in the eleventh hour and the owner, Nikki, was so helpful and helped get us all settled. A seamless experience from the first tasting to the end. There was an issue with the cake stand we had requested, which I didn’t even notice (so clearly not that important lol) and Nikki was so helpful afterward and even gave us the option for a refund or credit for the rental. Awesome customer service and even better cake. You can’t go wrong with Sage for your wedding. Beautiful cakes that also taste great.
We wanted gluten free desserts for our wedding and Sage was AMAZING! My family members loved the desserts! Every single dessert was gone within an hour of them being put out! We al...

ng multiple allergies a breeze. Growing up in a gluten-free household, it was wonderful to find a bakery that makes gluten-free cakes that are even better than any other wedding cake I've had!
We ordered two dozen gluten-free and vegan cupcakes from Sage for our October 2023 wedding, to accommodate all of our many guests with dietary restrictions. We love how inclusive t...
hey are and their flavors are unbelievable!
We ran into a little snafu when going to pick up our order; it had been missed when they started the day's prep, and was not ready for pickup. The Sage team made every accommodation possible, offering to make and even deliver the cupcakes fresh the next day. They had worked with our venue and caterer, which further put our mind at ease!
Mistakes happen every day, and how you handle them is 100% a mark of how you operate as a company. Sage not only solved the problem, but found a solution that was even better than we had originally planned! We will be return customers for sure, and cannot recommend them enough for your wedding!
Our wedding cake was so delicious. I'm not a cake person, but it's so good and I still want more! Everyone loved the mini cupcakes and donuts and were asking where we got them. Th...
ank you so much for everything.

awesome suggestions and we really let her take the lead! She truly 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 wedding 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!
Sage Cakery was dream to work with. Not only was the cake absolutely delicious, but it fit our vision exactly. It was so beautiful I almost didn’t want to cut it! Nikkie was commun...

ting from a different state, the team really worked with us to nail 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! A...
lso, they have so many options to pick from! Usually, when you look 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.

some food allergies and Sage Cakery was so accommodating which really set them apart for us, and the result was delicious.
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 dess...
ert bar for guests. People still rave about the cardamom pear cupcakes 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!
Our wedding cake and cupcakes were absolutely gorgeous and unbelievably delicious! Nikki was wonderful to work with and everything came out perfectly! Thank you!
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 grand 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.

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!
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
