    Perfect cake for our perfect day!

    We were married at the Glen Club who enlists Couture Cupcake Cafe as one of their cake vendors. Our first meeting/tasting with Ashley and Shannon went so well as we tried all the delicious flavors! It was hard to decide which ones to narrow it down to, and they gave us the idea to have some layers one flavor, and the other layers could be a different cake. We like to mix things up and had marble on some layers, and funfetti for the others. The buttercream icing was delicious!
    I think my biggest surprise was I gave them some ideas of inspiration I’d seen for our cake, and they totally nailed it beyond our wildest dreams! It was the most beautiful cake and I’m so glad we had the opportunity to have them make our cake for our best day ever! Thank you, Couture Cupcake Cafe!

    Couture Cupcake Cafe is the one and only place you should use for your wedding cake! Cathi was so wonderful to work with and created the exact wedding cake that we had in mind. The cake both looked and tasted amazing and the guests are still talking about it! The cake was made the day of our wedding and you could definitely taste the freshness of both the cake and frosting. We are so happy that we came across such a great find at Couture Cupcake Cafe and can't wait to get more cakes from here in the future!

    Last night I co-hosted a bachelorette party, and I was responsible for the cake. I'd been to Couture Cupcakes before and absolutely loved all the ones we tried, so I knew this is where I wanted to get the cake from.

    Cathi was great, she was open to my requests, and made a fantastic delicious peanut butter cake with a peanut butter fudge filling that was to die for, and the cake was decorations were above and beyond what I could have hoped for. Everyone loved the cake, and the bride was amazed. Everyone was asking where this place was, it was so good!

    We had our wedding cake made at Couture Cupcake Café--Cathi (the owner) was awesome to work with! We didn't have a clear vision of what we were looking for, just that we wanted a 3 tier cake....since the wedding was at hour home and very laid back, we really weren't sure what to do. Cathi took our "loose" ideas and came up with a design that was truly inspiring. Not only did the cake look fantastic, it tasted wonderful too! Our guests all commented on how good the cake was and everyone wanted to take a piece home! We highly recommend Couture Cupcake for all your party needs! Thanks so much Cathi!

    I have been coming to Couture since they opened to feed my addiction of cupcakes. I have literally been traveling over 50 miles before Couture Cupcake opened just for cupcakes on my day off probably once every 2 weeks! Then what appeared only 20 minutes from my house were they best cupcakes probably ever! As my now husband and I were planning our wedding I wanted to secretly have a grooms cake done and obviously they were who I wanted! It was fabulous! From making my vision a reality to the incredible taste! The frosting is like something you've never tasted in your life and the cake marries it so well! We ate that cake until it was gone! 3 layers of vanilla cake with salted Carmel between each layer and their to die for vanilla frosting. We didn't serve it at the wedding as it was too cool to demolish until the next day! Thank you for your amazing cupcakes and cakes, they are a part of our events and get togethers.

    Gorgeous cake! 2 tiered cake looked even better than the inspiration photo I provided. Everyone gathered around and immediately started taking photos.

    Tasted so good! The cake was perfectly moist and had great flavor. As we were passing out slices I started hearing people talk about how good it was (cake and icing). I also noticed people taking slices to go at the end. :)

    It was a pleasure working with the staff. It was very convenient as I was able to talk to the owner via email. She was very quick to respond (which I love!) and genuinely wanted to help make our day special.

    Got individual cakes on every table for my wedding. They were the best cakes I've ever had. The owner met with us for the tasting and listened to all of our wants and needs. She was very flexible and caring. The cakes turned out exactly as I hoped. We had so many people tell us they were the best cake they've ever had at a wedding. I wouldn't have gone with anyone else!!

    Ordered gelato for my wedding end of May, was supposed to be Amaretto flavor. I could not tell what the flavor was, nor could my guest from the feedback received which was plentiful since many were looking forward to it based on the menu. Most thought it was vanilla- but not rich or distinct in flavor. The consistency was also disappointing- not as creamy as gelato i have had before. Disappointed overall and would not recommend based on taste and cost. On a positive note, it was noted by guests that the cookie provided by Couture Cupcake that was served with each serving of gelato was delicious- tasted rich and fresh.
