If you're looking for a talented baker and impressively creative artist, you've found her at The Cake Shop CNY! We recommend booking early because she's a local hit & deservedly fills up fast!
Stacey did an incredible job. She was upfront regarding the pricing and delivery. The tasting was amazing, and the cake itself was delicious and moist and everything we could have ...
wanted in a cake. We had a rough idea of what we wanted but Stacey's special accents made the cake really stand out and look amazing. She also gave us tips about how to use up extra servings, as we had a small wedding but wanted a three tiered cake.
She instructed us on how to best transport the cake so we managed to move the cake ourselves over 40 miles to the destination without issue! She also helped facilitate picking up flowers from a local florist so that they could be added to the cake prior to us picking it up.
I have nothing to say but amazing things about Stacey and the Cake Shop CNY.

ng cake—everything was amazing! All night I kept seeing people go back for more and kept receiving rave reviews!
Now let’s talk about the wedding cake, somehow Stacey took what I had dreamed up and made it into a reality. It was so incredibly perfect I honestly didn’t want to cut into it! We requested a tiny figurine of our dog taking a bite out of the cake, it looked just like him and was perfect! The wedding cake she created truly just filled my heart was so much happiness and joy.
Lastly, we had custom cookies made for our guest favors, and they left me speechless. They were above and beyond what I expected! Let me tell you, these are the most delicious cookies you will have in your life!! If you have not had cookies from the Cake Shop, run don’t walk to order yourself some for your next party!!
Overall, when working with Stacey you can see clearly that she not only loves what she does, but she puts that love into each and every one of her orders. I cannot say enough nice things about working with Stacey!! Big thank you to her for making my wedding dreams even better than I could have imagined!
Everyone RAVED about the cupcakes and cake at our wedding (us included)! Stacey was so wonderful to work with every step of the way, and I love how much she cares about the integri...
ty and quality of her product. One thing that really stood out was that included in the price was a small anniversary cake that she’ll make fresh for our first anniversary, so that we don’t have to eat year-old freezer-burnt cake saved from our wedding day. She also kept an eye on the weather, since our venue was a barn without any climate control, and she was prepared to adjust her delivery time to ensure the cake wasn’t subjected to heat/humidity for too long. In other words…she has exceptional attention to detail and really does make sure she delivers an exceptional product! We had a 2-layer cut cake along with 3 flavors of cupcakes (including 1 vegan flavor which everyone, vegans and non-vegans alike, loved) and they all looked beautiful and tasted fantastic!!
(As an aside, we HIGHLY recommend combining the spice cake, cream cheese frosting, and apple pie filling…it was an AMAZING combo!!)
My wife and I fell in love just from the tastings! The day of the wedding, everything looked amazing and tasted even better. From the cake bites to the macarons and cupcakes, every...
thing was delicious. Stacey was amazing to work with as well; super friendly, nice, responsive, and is truly masterful in her dessert making.
Stacey was amazing to work with. Once we saw her cakes we knew she was the one. And let me tell you, her cakes are AMAZING! I literally have NEVER tasted a cake so good & moist. I ...
am a huge cake fanatic, so that says something. My husband does not like cakes or sweets & loved the Italian Olive Oil cake. It was to die for. Our guests cannot stop raving about all the cupcake flavors & cake. She even made sugar flowers for our cake...absolutely amazing. I cannot say enough good things, and everyone needs to book her. You will not be disappointed. For your 1 year anniversary, she will make you your wedding cake top. She is amazing. We will be making special trips, just to get her cake. I would give her a million stars if I could. Thank you for making our day SO perfect!
