We had the pleasure of having Donna prepare our wedding cake for us and it was such a delight! Not only is she easy to work with, but her cake tasted amazing!!We wanted a really simple cake in terms of design and Donna delivered. While the design was really simple, the flavors were not! All of our guest enjoyed the cake and so did we :)She also was very flexible to work with and was able to accommodate preparing 2 small sugar free cakes for some family members who are diabetic. They were able to join in on the cake with us and said it was delicious!!

Karen truly works magic with her cakes and pastries. We have enjoyed her pastries for years when her shop was downtown, so it was natural for us to want to book her for our wedding. She went above and beyond for the private tasting and managed to skillfully and carefully execute our wedding cakes with my many food allergies/restrictions. We absolutely loved both cakes (tiramisu wedding cake and vegan traditional almond wedding cake with berries) and many guests raved about how the cakes were delicious and moist, unlike most cakes served at weddings. The service the day of the wedding (and her holding our separate frozen top layer to pick days later is clutch!) was stellar. Being from out of town, we had hoped for a little bit more communication when we came in for the tasting, but she still stuck to her word and everything was executed as promised. We couldn't have been happier with our cakes!

I can’t say enough good things about Karen! Wonderful and straightforward communication. Cake pickup was easy. Karen greeted me and immediately made me feel very welcomed, she was so kind and gave me some cake cutting tips!The cake was the best my husband and I have ever had- so delicious, moist, and flavorful. I made the choice to leave the design up to Karen, since she is the artist, and was just delighted to have received such a beautiful cake clearly decorated with such care.I loved getting to surprise my partner for his 27th birthday. Thank you again! :-)

Last minute I decided to have a small cake to cut for my wedding. Karen was able to create a beautiful fall-themed, rustic cake that was exactly what I was looking for. She also used real flowers for an elevated touch. Not only was the cake beautiful, but it was also delicious. 10 out of 10 experience!

Karen was generous enough to work in a birthday cake for my friend shortly after I moved to Asheville. With minimal notice, she agreed to the task and executed with the exact vision I had, after only a quick phone call. Great service and stuff, quality design, amazing flavor, and very cute store to pick up. I will be placing more orders in the future!

Karen, the talented creator behind our wedding cake, truly outdid herself! Not only was her creation visually stunning, but it was so delicious we (& our guests) are still talking about it!The cake was not only delicious but incredibly moist, a testament to Karen's expertise. What's even more impressive is that she made it vegan to accommodate our dietary preferences! As a vegan couple, finding a baker who could craft a cake like this was a true blessing.We wholeheartedly recommend Karen to anyone in need of a cake that not only looks and tastes amazing but also caters to specific dietary needs. Her artistry and commitment to her craft shine through in every bite. Thank you, Karen, for adding a sweet touch to our special day!

My daughter's wedding cake was truly a work of art. The flavors were heavenly. It is obvious that Karen puts a lot of love and expertise into her baking, and she was wonderful about accommodating our requests.

Karen is the absolute best and amazing to work with! We hired her to bake our wedding cake as well as the handheld desserts for our big day. Karen set up the desserts beautifully! She provided a stunning silver cake knife and server along with tiered dessert holders to showcase the small handhelds, all with their own handwritten signs and elegant holders. The two tier wedding cake and all of the cupcakes were tiramisu. We also served handheld walnut and pecan dark chocolate layer cakes, French apple tarts with an apricot glaze, and classic chocolate eclairs. Everyone raved about everything, they couldn’t get enough and we couldn’t have been happier with the jaw-dropping presentation and the mouth watering desserts. We would recommend her again and again for any event! Thank you Karen, for helping to make our day exceptionally sweet!

Karen agreed to do my wedding cake. Then she went on vacation. Upon her return she responded to one email from me and then stopped responding altogether. Consequently, there will not be cake at my wedding. Disappointed.

We loved our wedding cheesecake and cupcakes! We are not from the area so it was imposible to test the flavors before the wedding, Karen was patient and she really helped us! Our family loved it! Amazing job from Karen and her team

The wedding cake that Karen made us for our wedding was not only gorgeous but also tasted delicious! Karen, who owns her own local bakery in Asheville, was truly such a wonderful person to work with for having the perfect wedding cake for our day! She was very responsive via email and chatting over the phone to go over what we wanted to do for our wedding cake design! We were also able to go to her local shop in Asheville to finalize everything with Karen in person and taste her delicious flavors! She has some of the most unique wedding cake flavors that I have seen at any bakery and they are all so good! We were able to select the Strawberry Cream flavor for our cake and it was so loved by our guests at our wedding! Karen was so wonderful that she went above and beyond and made us a separate cake layer for our one-year anniversary to freeze. She went and gave the extra cake layer to our hotel so that they could keep it for us to take home the day after our wedding! The design of the cake was also so simple and elegant with the white buttercream frosting and fresh flower design! We couldn’t have been happier with the way the cake looked and tasted! Thank you so much to Karen for making everything so perfect! We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to make their wedding cake!
