I cannot say enough wonderful things about Black Sheep Custom Cakes. Mike was always extremely responsive and flexible with my schedule. And, of course, the cake was AMAZING! My now-husband has been a huge classic car fan since he restored his first when he was 16. I wanted to surprise him with a cake replica of his first restoration at our wedding. Using just some pictures of the car, Mike created a beautiful cake replica for our big day. It was so perfect and created such a fun talking piece for our guests. Just another fantastic addition to a wonderful day.

Mike with black sheeps customs Cakes did an amazing job at our wedding!! Not only was the cake amazing.. But the experience was amazing as well. I would have never been able to have dreamt of a better idea for a wedding cake. Not only that was a grooms cake was phenomenal. We would have taken forever to come up with an idea as Genius and as Mike Elder came up with you simply moments. Simply Amazing. Thank you Mike. I would recommend your talents to ANY event.

Mike did a wonderful job demonstrating his phenomenal cake making abilities at a corporate fundraiser, that I organized. His cake was amazing and had the whole place talking about him! He addressed every detail in the vintage car cake he made! Wonderful service, as well. He is very pleasant to visit with and you can see how passionate he is about his craft!!!

Mike made our twin girls each their own beautiful cakes incorporating everything they each wanted. The cakes were the hits of their parties - and they loved having their pictures taken with him (A TV Star!). Working with Mike was easy, enjoyable and stress free.

The cake Mike and Casey created for me was absolutely perfect and more beautiful than I could have imagined. It blew me away so much, that I actually cried when I first saw our cake. Not only did it look incredible, but it was delicious. The football groom's cake was pretty awesome as well. I would encourage all to look into Black Sheep Custom Cakes. They're so easy to work with!
