    Lydia is the best!

    Lydia did an amazing job on the cake for our wedding. The process was super fun, the price was super reasonable, and the cake was better than we ever could have hoped for. We could not recommend Lydia more for your wedding cake.

    Amazing!! Beyond thrilled with the desserts!

    Lydia made my two-tiered wedding cake & 16 dozen cupcakes for my wedding last weekend. She was a blast to work with and the treats were delicious. She even gave us four massive cupcakes to take home the night of the wedding. One of my favorite vendors we booked. I highly recommend Lydia's Cakes & Confections!!

    Beautiful and delicious wedding cake & cupcakes

    I absolutely loved working with Lydia for my wedding desserts. My husband and I had a small backyard ceremony and ordered a small cake for us to cut and a dozen cupcakes for our guests. Ordering with Lydia was easy. She was responsive and collaborative about the design/decorations. On the day of, the cake and cupcakes looked better than I could have hoped and everything tasted delicious. We received so many compliments. Highly recommend!

    Unbelievable combination of beautiful cakes with incredible flavor!

    Lydia is an incredible baker, artist, and wedding consultant! She brought our Dungeon & Dragons themed wedding to life while giving us the best cake I've ever tasted. We selected 3 cupcakes and assorted squares for our guests to give more variety, with a small cake for my husband and I. Everyone LOVED them - we ordered more than one per person and had nothing left over!! I'm still dreaming of them. Highly recommend the strawberry cake - the flavor of fresh strawberries is so infused in the cake, it's absolutely remarkable. That said, there are no poor decisions here. Everything was delicious and beautiful and service was exceptional.

    Amazing flavor and design!

    We got Married in back in May of 2022, we hired Lydia for our wedding cake. We had a cake tasting where we chose 5 different combinations of bread and filling, the tasting was great because she explined all the flavors and what goes inti them in detail. We had 2 we really liked so she suggested to do both, so we did! (Oh and we got to take the left over home) Shes so creative, showed her a photo of what we wanted and our cake actually turned out better than the photo! At our wedding day, she also left 4 cupcakes the same flavors of our cake for us to have later, that was very sweet of her! One of the most important things is that she personally delivered the cake to our venue, that gave me piece of mind that it'll be there in perfect condition. The cake was flavorfull exactly like when we went to the taste test. Overall our experience with Lydia was 11/10. Thank you so much Lydia, you're awesome!

    Lydia's Cakes and Confections, Aesthetically-pleasing and delicious and easy and fun to work with!

    Lydia's Cakes and Confections was recommended to me by more than one venue and fortunately, they are located within an easy driving distance from us. Planning a Wedding through a Pandemic was definitely a bumpy right but Lydia made the process easy and seamless for us, through the flexibility of e-mails, phone calls, and in-person meetings we were able to make our Wedding cake a sweet dream come true! We opted to do a smaller cake for the cake-cutting ceremony and got several dozen mini cupcakes for our guests, and everything was aesthetically-pleasing and delicious, not to mention she was able to create a few Vegan options for our Vegan and lactose-intolerant friends! We discussed what the cake would look like and Lydia asked me for examples of cakes I enjoyed so I grabbed a few pictures from Pinterest and what she came up with took my breath away and was better than I expected. Would definitely recommend them!

    Delicious cake and brownies

    Lydia made a beautiful 3-tier cake for our wedding.
    Lydia invited us to do a cake tasting at her storefront which she walked through the different kinds of cake and frosting she offered.
    We ended up going with a chocolate cake a white buttercream frosting. It was super delicious!
    She is was also very accommodating to us needed to change out the sheet cake due to less guests attending. We ended up adding brownies for people to take home and they are very good!

    She even left some thank you cupcakes on the day of!

    Amazing, helpful, everything I wanted in a cake

    she created such a beautiful cake and was very informative about the different frosting and being outside in the summer heat. The flavors were the best thing I ever had. Also she was funny and makes you feel comfy during your testing! 10/10

    Delicious and thoughtful!

    The cakes were absolutely delicious and she even made us two little cupcakes for us to enjoy later of our cake flavors, unfortunately our guests ate them by mistake 😂

    She is full of spunk and was very accommodating when we got COVID and were unable to come in for our cake tasting.

    Delicious and beautiful

    Lydia made our two tiered cake and mini cupcakes look amazing and taste even better. I can not stress enough how flavorful and moist everything was. We had one flavor for the cake and three for the mini cupcakes, and all were huge hits. We got tons of compliments. She even put together a box of 4 cupcakes for us and a note that was sitting at our seats when we got to the reception. Perfect for a late night, post wedding snack. She was also very accommodating during the cake tasting too. Can not recommend her enough.

    Amazing cake and service

    I really enjoyed working with Lydia to create a cake that was beautiful, delicious and within my budget. I love how the cake looked and the flavors were amazing. She was totally right when she recommended the orange Popsicle flavor, it was our favorite. Everyone love the cake! I will hire her for any other cake I will need. Also, she is amazing, she helped us and walked us through the process. I will recommend her a million times!

    Absolutely great!

    We just loved Lydia! Our first meeting went very well. Lydia was very helpful and the cake tasting was amazing! The final result left me speechless. It was such a beautiful cake! It was exactly what we wanted and more. Lydia did an amazing job on our wedding cake! The flavors were great and all of our guests loved the cake. The sugar flowers had the guests wondering how they weren’t real! In all.. it was a great experience!

    Lydia and her Creations are wonderful!

    This cake was unbelievable and Lydia was very attentive and extremely talented in the execution of our concept. Most importantly it tasted as good as it looked, which is a huge compliment! It was an amazingly delicious cake, even the fondant tasted good!

    Easy Going and Professional

    My fiancé was actually the one who found Lydia, and even though at the time he had several vendors he was accessing I think we both knew from the start she’d be the one! She has always answered us quickly, she’s upfront about every detail and one look at her work online or in person and you’re guaranteed to fall in love! She is an amazing artist and very friendly which is obviously a HUGE plus! I can’t wait for our guests to “ooh” and “awe” at the cake at our wedding because I know they’re not even going to believe us when we tell them the flowers on our cake are made of sugar!

    10/10 Would hire again!

    We live in Vancouver but were getting married in Maple Valley so after some research (Thank you Google) we decided to reach out to Lydia. Because of the distance a lot of our communication took place through email. Lydia was extremely professional, prompt, patient, and kind the entire time. She really worked with us to nail down how we wanted our cake to look (not easy since we had a ton of ideas). And when we did settle on a design she walked through the process of making it for us as well as costs during a cake tasting. Her cakes are absolutely delicious by the way (we had an almond cake that several people raved about). In the end she delivered an absolutely beautiful (and yummy) cake that went beyond our expectations. It had these beautiful sugar maple leaves that were incredibly detailed and delicate. I went out of my way to show people and felt guilty cutting into it (until I took a bite)!

    Lydia is wonderful and came with no added stress so I would for sure recommend her to anyone for anything!

    Lydia made the most beautiful and delicious cake for our wedding! She gave us exactly what we wanted, a simple three tier cake with pretty frosting details and we received endless compliments on how great it tasted. Also our initial tasting was such a blast, she is warm, professional, and truly has a passion for making your cake dreams come true! Would highly recommend her for any cake needs!

    Exceptional Personal Touches & Attention to Detail

    Lydia is a joy to work with. From the very start-a mini cake tasting party with my girlfriends (husband and I were living in different countries) we couldn't have been happier to have Lydia as a part of our absolute dream of a wedding. She went above and beyond to create the cake flavors and design we hoped for (you get two types of cakes if you want, plus she makes her own fondant and uses fresh berries for her fruit layers and cakes-Amazingly yummy). She even made mini cakes and left a sweet card for us to take home from the wedding which was beyond thoughtful and so appreciated. If you want to work with a truly creative and lovely human being for your gorgeous cake then Lydia is a must. She even custom designed a wood looking cake round for the base of our actual cake which everyone thought was honestly a real wood round until someone finally decided to test the theory-she is that good!. Would love to work with her again.

    Great Experience!

    We really enjoyed working with Lydia! She took our inspiration photos and created the perfect design for our August wedding. Not only was our cake delicious, but she really went above and beyond what was expected of her. She was very professional and I cannot recommend her enough!

    Lydia's cakes are the best! Not only are they beautiful but they are also incredibly delicious. Days after the wedding guests were still talking about how good the cake was.
    Lydia was professional, accommodating, and super sweet through the whole process. She invited us into her home for a cake tasting where we got to try her delicious cakes for the first time. They were all so good, it was hard to choose. We ended up going with her most popular flavor- strawberry with strawberry filling for our tiered cake. We also got a chocolate sheet cake with chocolate mousse frosting. Both were so soooo good.
    We were originally going to get fresh flowers for our cake, but when we saw her amazingly detailed sugar flowers, we were blown away.
    The cake was a highlight of our wedding and we couldn't be happier.
