"The frosting is to die for", is what my mother said about our wedding cake. Thank you so much Kathy for creating such beautiful and great tasting cakes for our special day. And for being so friendly and pleasant to work with from the first phone call and tasting to the delivery and setup. Our guests absolutely loved the double chocolate chip and vanilla we had for them! We cannot wait to taste our last tier on our anniversary! Looking forward to having another cake by you in the near future. We highly recommend Kathy!!

Cakes are to die for! Loved working with Kathy from start to finish. Got so many compliments on our the whole night! Remembering to post this review 1 year later while we chow down on our saved top tier…which, by the way, is just as good as it was on our wedding!
Our venue, Kindred Oaks recommended Cakes by Kathy. We got to sample some cake during an open house and WOW. We knew immediately that we wanted to go with Cakes by Kathy for our wedding cake + cupcakes. She has so many flavors to choose from - so moist and delicious. We had some leftover cupcake and I'm SO glad because I've been eating them since our wedding.
SO SO SO delicious. Kathy is professional, communicative, and we loved our wedding cake + cupcakes and we didn't have to spend a million dollars to have the cake of our dreams!
Kathy was amazing to work with! Her ability to create two DELICIOUS cakes exactly the way we described it to her was incredible. We were complimented left and right for how great our cakes looked, and those compliments quickly shifted to how amazing the cake tasted! I would recommend Kathy to anyone and everyone within her service zone.
Kathy provided the most beautiful cake (as well as the cutest cupcakes!) for my wedding reception! We received a lot of compliments on the cake and it tasted delicious! My family and I would highly recommend her. She is professional, reasonably priced, and very collaborative! We wish her the best!
I’m giving Kathy a low review because when my wife first found Kathy at the Austin bridal extravaganza, which was a year before our wedding; she told me about this cake that was to die for and we did not receive what we expected on the wedding day. I knew we had found the one because my wife isn’t a fan of sweets, so when she tried Kathy’s cake and loved it; I was also eager to end the cake hunt. At first Kathy was great at communicating. My wife and her only ever spoke through text. She never received a meeting or a consultation about what was expected when it came to cake decoration at the venue. The cake we received at the wedding did not represent the picture we had given Kathy and instead it was just a white cake and the coordinator had to tear apart a bouquet to decorate it. While reading their texts, I realized she wasn’t clear about us providing our own floral, and so she just left an undecorated cake. The second thing wrong about the cake was the flavor. The flavor of the original cake that we tasted was not the same as the cake that we had at our wedding. We had 4 people who had tried it before and all four of us did not recognize the taste, because it hardly had any filling, so it was very disappointing. The only solace was that some of our guests thought the cake tasted good, while others thought it was too sweet. Our cake was supposed to be french vanilla with a strawberry cream cheese filling, some guests however kept complementing us on the almond flavor of the filling. To conclude, it was disappointing to not have the same flavor, and unclear instructions, even though we asked numerous times if there were any details that we needed to know for the day of the wedding.
After our wedding my wife contacted Kathy to let her know of not only our dissatisfaction, but of our family and those who knew what they were suppose to be tasting. She was met with an apologetic Kathy at first, but then afterwards was given a cold shoulder. I do not wish to hurt Kathy’s business because she has good tasting cakes, and I know she can do a fantastic job because we have tasted it, BUT that is not what we received and she did not seem to care when she didn’t deliver her best to us, in our opinion.
Booked her for my wedding and received SO many compliments on the cake flavor and texture.
She also has VOLUMES of pictures of cakes she’s made previously. That was probably one of the more helpful things; I’d visited several other cake vendors and this was definitely useful. I actually ended up piecing together the design for my cake, based on the pictures she had. They were better than some of the pictures I found on Pinterest.
She was very accommodating and very reasonably priced. She sat and talked to us for almost an hour about various options, and just seemed like we wanted to make the best cake that she could for our special day & that it would be everything we wanted. I highly recommend.
Kathy is the sweetest person ever! She kindly fit in an appointment to accommodate us since we lived 3 hours away. During our visit, she showed us her portfolio and provided tastings which reassured us she was the best pick for our wedding cake/cupcakes. She was flexible in providing both options, since we aren’t enormous cake fans, which allowed us to choose a spice cake with cream cheese frosting and vanilla and chocolate cupcakes. When we saw it on the wedding day, the cake was absolutely gorgeous and it tasted even better! We recommend Kathy to everyone, including her affordable pricing options. You cannot go wrong with her!
