A++++++++++++ Sam Combs is simply amazing!!! We received so many compliments on our wedding cake from not only an artistic perspective, but also the amazing flavor and moistness of the cake!!! We went with the white cake and white butter cream with a slight hint of almond and a peanut butter cake with chocolate ganache and Sam's peanut butter with chocolate ganache filling was such a hit, we hardly had any to try for ourselves! (Luckily, our cake server saved us a piece.) Sam made the design process of the cake completely enjoyable and her artistic ability is truly a wonderful talent. Not only was the cake wonderful, she was at the venue on time and we hardly got to see her, she was in and out so quickly! It is so hard to believe that with all that she provided, she really is the MOST affordable of all the other cake vendors. We will most certainly use her again in the future for any and all other cake needs...she truly is the BEST of KC...

Sam was great! I was very excited about my cake, and our grooms cake. When I met with her, she designed something based off our Save The Dates. I loved that it was a custom design, and thought the design she came up with was wonderful! She seemed excited about working with us, and I could tell she loves what she does. I even had her do a birthday cake a few months before the wedding, and I was almost more excited about the cake than the actual birthday. The design was perfect and professional looking, and we had soooo many great comments about how the cake tasted. Our wedding cake was beautiful, it was exactly what her drawing showed. And the taste was awesome! I made sure to have a piece of cake at the reception because I knew it would taste really good. I will continue to use her for any future event. And her pricing was the best I found. By far!!!

Unfortunately, I did not get to try more than just a bite of my cake. I heard great things about Sam's cake from other brides, and I trust that it was all wonderful. I didn't hear any feedback from guests, so I can't say one way or the other. I do have to say that I was quite disappointed with the design on my cake. It looked of a novice design and technique. The design on the cake looked like piping. There were also a few knicks in the icing of the cake, which was evident in my pictures. Meeting with Sam and getting email responses was easy. I would recommend Cakes By Combs to others; however, I would suggest being specific with design and reviewing ideas clearly.

This is a baker you cannot go wrong with. Most accommodating from beginning to end. Able to see my vision, offered suggestions and every thing was just as I wanted it, from the look to the taste. Would definitely use again, over and over.

As a wedding photographer I have had a ton of wedding cake and I have to say Samantha's cake was the best I have ever had!! It was so moist and yummy. She did an incredible job helping us decide how we wanted it decorated. I absolutely loved how the cake turned out it was just beautiful!!
Thanks ;)

Sam was very easy to work with, she was flexiable and had creative ideas. She did not push her ideas on us, but worked with ideas we had and made them into a beautiful cake. Her grooms great was awesome as well. We just downloaded a picture of a Razorback Hog, and she created it to a tee! Everyone at the wedding raved about the look and the taste of the cake. Thank you, Sam!

Samantha was wonderful to work with!! She customized the wedding cake (cupcakes with a topper, at our request) exactly as we requested with multiple flavors. She also used a family recipe for one of the flavors at no extra charge. The cake was delicious!!! Samantha also took a minor glitch in stride and worked with the florist to get into the locked reception venue. And to top it all off, her rates were very reasonable - if I could give her more than 5 stars for value I would!!!

When I first saw the cakes, I was underwhelmed. There were spots on the cake where the cake was visible through the icing. It was also obvious where the ribbon was overlapped in wrapping it around the cake. The whole effect was that it looked thrown together at the last minute. The groom's cake was supposed to be a bass and have marbled fondant icing, but the icing was all one color.
Also, there was some communication issues with the delivery. Sam had told me via email that she would be delivering around 10am. I let the folks at the venue know that and they planned to have someone come in early to meet her. They called her numerous times in the days preceeding to confirm this and never heard back. When I arrived at the venue at 2pm, no one had heard from her. I called her and she told me she would be there in 15 minutes and she was. I guess it was not a big deal because the cake was there before the wedding, I just felt bad that someone had come in 4 hours earlier than needed at the wedding venue.
That being said, the cake tasted great. Sam's signature icing is delicious. We booked before the rates were raised, so I would say that I felt we got a good value for what we paid. When we met with Sam, she was very nice and hospitable and the cake tasting was something that we all enjoyed.
