When we initially decided on a wedding date, a delicious wedding cake was one of the top priorities. We've been to far too many weddings where tons of cake is uneaten because its too sweet or it's beautiful but tasted plain. I think our crew tasted something like 4 or 5 bakeries before we found The last bite. Krissie sent us a remote box with a mix of all her icings/syrups/sponge with a guide to mix and match as we lived quite remotely. Even with our amateur mix and match the cake was divine. It's actually. hard to explain how good it was. I've travelled quite extensively across the world and eaten at my fair share of "high end" restaurants, but her cake is one of the top cakes I've ever tried. You literally cannot stop eating it because it's so good. Perhaps the biggest tell is that one of our guests marched out of the kitchen with a stack of take out containers and people started hoarding slices of cake to go. She's going to be making our anniversary cakes until either we divorce, die, or the world explodes. Oh and the cake was beautiful. I don't have a picture right not because the wedding was last week, but she did a beautiful blue ombre with cascading flowers all in icing (no fondant thank god).
It is hard to say enough about our amazing experience with the Last Bite. First off, I can confidently say that my husband's favorite part of the of the whole wedding planning process was this cake tasting. You have an opportunity to try all the flavor combinations at your disposal with the samples of cake provided. This allowed us to develop two different flavor profiles so there was something for everyone to enjoy at our reception. The cake was a huge hit at the reception. We were told numerous times it was the "best wedding cake" guests had ever tasted. I also must point out that from tasting to our wedding day everything was handled in a professional manner and I never had any doubts or concerns throughout the process. Wedding planning can certainly be stressful so the importance of having a vendor who is professional and communicative can't be overstated! Finally, the Last Bite worked closely with our florist to make sure our incredible cake looked just as good as it tasted. I can't recommend them highly enough!
When we first met with Krissie, she was so kind and our tasting was impressive! She has SO many options and prides herself on using first class ingredients and making sure that the cake taste amazing. These are European style cakes so instead of being sugary sweet, they are more complex and fire off all senses. She helped us decide what size cake we would need and we added a sheet cake, which she pre-scores and put a little flower decoration on each individual piece. Her buttercream is to die for!!!! It’s like nothing else I’ve ever tasted. We were originally going to go with a more complex design that required fondant but she encouraged us to go with the buttercream and it was the right choice! Choose The Last Bite if you’re looking for a cake that is delicious and will blow your guests taste buds out of the water! I’m counting down the days until our one year anniversary when she makes us a small tasting cake from our day!
It was the only bakery my wife and I tried - there was simply no reason to go with anyone else once we did the tasting. Our three-tier, passion fruit and raspberry cake was absolutely beautiful, and not a single piece was left over after the wedding. We decided to try Last Bite because the European-style cake appealed to us - we read that it was lighter, fluffier, and less sugary-sweet. That was exactly our experience. The fruit flavors were perfectly-blended, and the buttercream frosting was delicate and delicious. Just amazing. :)
The cake was customized to our taste. Each layer was special and uniquely created. I will be using The Last Bite again for other special events.
Really enjoyed the process with Krissie. She makes a tremendous effort to dial in your choices for the cake. Everything was on time and at the price she promised. A great experience.
I hosted a bridal shower for my niece and used The Last Bite for my cupcakes. Krissie was great to work with, she was very responsive to my inquiries and provided ideas and pictures. She did an excellent job with presentation and my quests remarked about how exquisite the cupcakes were. Would definitely work with her again.
Krissie makes beautiful and delicious cakes! I appreciate her use of quality ingredients. And how easy and enjoyable she is to work with. Highly recommend!
Krissie @ The Last Bite made a wonderful cake recently for my daughter's wedding. Going into the planning process my daughter was uncertain of the type of cake she wanted. Krissie was fabulous to work with and had excellent ideas. This cake tasted as delicious as it looked. I would highly recommend The Last Bite!
From the initial conversation with Krissie, we knew we had found the perfect pastry chef to make and design our wedding cake! We really didn't know exactly what we wanted in terms of design, but we knew we did not want to compromise taste. Krissie asked all the right questions to help give us a better idea of what we wanted, she even provides a tasting of her different cakes and mousses - they're all delicious. Our personal favorite was the vanilla cake with her fluffy buttercream frosting. In the end we decided on a three tiered white cake with deep red roses to tie in with our wedding colors and it all turned out beautifully! Several of our guests told us it was the best wedding cake they had ever tasted! Her attention to detail is impeccable and her designs are absolutely exquisite. Aside from the look at taste, she also thinks big picture and takes everything into consideration, everything from the weather for your event to the location that your cake is displayed to ensure both you and your guests are satisfied with the final product. Look no further than The Last Bite for your next event, it's five stars in our book!
When my now husband and I were planning our wedding, we were so excited to work with The Last Bite for our wedding cake! We have been a fan of all her desserts, so we knew that we were already going to be impressed before we met up for our tasting. When we met with Kristine, she had so many different taste combos, combos we never would have thought of on our own. We were wowed by the whole process of choosing our cake flavors (she even left samples to keep in our fridge for our kids to try). She took great notes and now knows our individual flavor profiles for future events!
Flash forward 6 months to the wedding...we received compliments all night! Guests raving that it was "the best wedding cake they ever tasted" and compliments about how beautiful it looked! They did exactly what we wanted...a simple, three tiered cake with fresh flowers.
I even asked Kristine if she could slip in a YODA character on the cake to surprise my husband who is a super nerdy Star Wars fan. His mind was blown!! It looked awesome!
All in all, if you are looking for an amazing cake for your wedding or special event, look no further than Kristine at The Last Bite!
I’ve personally been a friend of the family for many years, and therefore have tasted cakes from The Last Bite since I was in high school (and every cake I’ve had since is nothing compared to these). I’ve been looking forward to my own wedding to FINALLY get my personal version of these amazing cakes. Lucky me, my wedding is in August, and I had the utmost joy of doing my own personal cake tasting! Krissie is amazing and so knowledgeable of her craft, and the cake combinations were a dream! I can’t wait to see how the final cake turns out visually (but most importantly, taste-wise ;)). Thank you for the dream come true!
"Amazing!" This was the buzz at our wedding reception as guests experienced our wedding cake from The Last Bite. The cake design and presentation were stunning, with billowing, ethereal ruffles to reflect the design of my wedding dress and uniquely adorned with beautiful fresh flowers to reflect style and theme of the reception. The cake was simply stunning and the flavors, out of this world! Many of our guests had not previously experienced a European style cake and were overjoyed with the sophisticated flavors, not too sweet......pure delight! Some guests commented that they didn't see the formal cake because it disappeared so quickly! Thankfully we had plenty of (or what we thought was more than enough) sheet cake plated and ready for service. As word spread around the reception, that disappeared quickly as well! Now I know the inspiration for "The Last Bite".
From beginning to end our experience with the Last Bite and it's owner Krissie, were exceptional. We found her extremely professional, warm, knowledgeable and accommodating. I had been to a few tastings prior to meeting with Krissie but the quality and taste of her products, the artistry of her design as well as her personal talent and passion were second to none. Krissie also reminded us, this was a time to have fun! The tasting she presented was spectacular! Krissie came up with absolutely delicious, creative options that we wouldn't have otherwise known based on conversations about taste preferences with my fiancé and I. We tasted, laughed, deliberated and in the end, Krissie helped us narrow down our choices to best suit our family and friends.
Once we finalized all the details of the cake design and flavors, I never had to give it another thought. Krissie presented us with a very precise communication timeline, proactively managed the delivery and set up with the reception venue and kept me up to date throughout the process. One of Krissie's service goals is to have the cake process be worry free (as possible) once the planning is complete and she exceeded our expectations. This was a huge relief given the overwhelming number of details and decisions that go into planning a wedding! I can't say enough......creativity, beauty, blissful flavors, and professionalism all rolled into The Last Bite.
Krissie made my wife and I’s wedding cake this past summer, and we couldn’t have been happier with the result. We were both impressed by her professionalism and responsiveness throughout, and even more impressed that our cake was somehow even more delicious than we remembered from our tasting. Krissie truly has a gift, and seeing the look on my wife’s face when she first saw the cake (and later, when we took our first bite) was worth every penny.
After attending a handful of weddings, I began to think of wedding cakes as beautiful looking but ultimately disappointing desserts. But as a lifelong sweet-tooth and cake enthusiast, I was THRILLED when I found The Last Bite. After doing some research and reading all of the glowing reviews on their website/Wedding Wire/The Knot, I decided to schedule a tasting – and was completely blown away by how delicious everything tasted. Without question, Krissie makes the best cakes I have ever tried. On top of that, her cakes are stunning works of art. Our wedding guests still talk about how beautiful and delicious our cake was, and we recommend The Last Bite to everyone we know. As the cherry on top, she is an absolute pleasure to work with and does everything she can to accommodate your needs and make sure you have a stress-free experience. I’m not even normally one to write reviews, but Krissie knocked it out of the park. Can’t recommend enough!
Krissie made us an absolutely beautiful cake for our daughter's 30th birthday celebration. It tasted even better than it looked. The family agreed it was simply the best birthday cake we had ever eaten. Look no further for that cake for a special occasion. Thank you, Krissie!
The cake tasted amazing and looked exactly how I imagined it would! She was easy to work with and very professional!
