We Loved our Cupcakes!

When we got our cupcake sampler from Alissa we weren’t expecting to love every single flavor and style. Even the gluten free and vegan cupcakes were as good as everything else! Something all the more impressive given her very fair prices. Working with Alissa was also easy and she was absolutely professional - leaving us with one less thing to worry about on the big day. We’d definitely recommend Cupcakes by Alissa.

10/10 best cake we ever had!!

Please don’t hesitate to contact Alissa about creating the most perfect cake for your event - this was by far the most delicious cake we have ever tasted! I emailed her about 6 weeks before my daughters wedding, and she happily squeezed us into her busy schedule - so easy to communicate with, friendly, and she delivered the most beautiful cake, just absolutely perfect! Guests were raving about the icing - you know how sometimes it looks great but it’s just too sweet - Alissa’s icing is delicious! The perfect complement to the vanilla cake with chocolate mousse filling. How sad we will be when we finish the leftover cake in my freezer - and the adorable little anniversary cake boxed up and ready to go in their freezer- such a sweet extra! (And found out that she grew the flowers that decorated this beautiful cake!) Please, don’t look any further, you will love her cakes!

Amazing to work with and delicious cake!

Alissa was amazing to work with! The cake she made was so delicious. If you book with Alissa, we would HIGHLY recommend a lemon curd and raspberry buttercream combination. It was so good! Our guests absolutely loved the cake as well. Not only was the the cake itself delicious, but we had two guests with dietary restrictions that we were able to have special cupcakes made. Alissa was more than accommodating. Thank you Alissa!

Such a good find!!

Alissa's cakes were the talk of our wedding! The only complaint was that there wasn't more and that's on us :) Alissa was so responsive, easy to work with, and helped us customize our cake and cupcakes to be better than we could have imagined. The cake was the peanut butter passion- soo good. Cupcakes were Carrot Cake and Funfetti. We couldn't be happier :)

Highly recommend Cakes by Alissa!

Cakes by Alissa is phenomenal! From the first email with Alissa to tasting the cake on our wedding day, the entire experience was amazing.

Alissa is incredibly professional, organized, and fun - when we went in for our cake tasting, we ended up just chatting with her for 30 minutes after because she is that cool of a person. Not to mention, her cakes are DELICIOUS. We got several compliments from guests (a couple even told us that they took 2 slices because they liked it so much)!

Thank you Alissa for bringing our vision for our wedding cake to life perfectly :)
