About

BEAUTIFUL, AMAZING and DELICIOUS are a few words that clients have used to describe our wedding cakes! As a home based bakery, our baking philosophy of using the finest, natural ingredients for all cakes, fillings and icings made from scratch is evident in each and every bite. Every wedding cake is custom made (no frozen cakes) in a professional yet personal manner with attention to detail to ensure that your wedding cake vision is realized.

Tastings

You're engaged! The cake tasting should be one of the fun and enjoyable parts of the wedding planning experience for each couple! As a small bakery in business for over 10 years, we commit to a limited number of wedding cakes for each week. This allows us to focus on each couple's needs and provide a high level of customer service. Tasting kits allow you to try 3 cake flavors. If you have an interest in starting the process and of course taste some AMAZING cake, feel free to message, email or call Luna!

Amazing experience

She was very quick to respond throughout the whole process. She made the entire process fairly simple and easy. She was able to work around our variety of dietary preferences and allergies to make vegan cupcakes and a few special ones for allergies. She delivered the cakes to our venue on time and got them setup. Finally and most importantly they were delicious and looked amazing.

Yum yum yum

Luna’s cake was beautiful and delicious! She squeezed us into her busy schedule, and did such a wonderful job! She was very easy to work with and professional. To our surprise, she also baked us a one-year anniversary cake that I’m already eyeing 😊

Absolutely incredible

I absolutely love Luna! She is such an incredible and easy individual to work with. She is professional, timely and detailed. We sent her inspo for our wedding cake and she nailed it. We had also used her services for our bridal shower which was also a hit. Being a vegan with an almond allergy, it was nice that she had options to accommodate all dietary limitations. Non-vegans were raving about how delicious her vegan desserts were.

Absolutely Perfect!

Amazing! The cake and cupcakes were DELICIOUS and BEAUTIFUL! Exactly what we wanted. Luna was so helpful with quantity suggestions, flavor combinations, and setting up our dessert table. She helped us individually package our cupcakes with made people more comfortable eating them during COVID, but also allowed them to take extras home.

Exceptional cakes & customer service

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Luna was AMAZING. I reached out initially because I saw Cakes and Bakes made GF cakes (at a reasonable price !!) She was very responsive and answered all my questions, and I had A LOT. She made mini GF cakes and cupcakes with all the butter creams for us to try so we can pick our flavors. All the way up until my Wedding day she was reachable and available for anything I needed (I modified my order a bit) We opted to do a 10in Gluten free red velvet cake to cut for myself and my Husband (and a few people who also ate gluten free due to gluten allergy/intolerance) and then got 3 different flavors of cupcakes (non GF) for all our guests. I’ve been gluten free for a Very long time and I’ve never had such a delicious cake. We got so many compliments on the cupcakes and flavors. We had lemon cake with raspberry buttercream icing, pumpkin spice cake with brown sugar butter cream icing and red velvet with Oreo buttercream icing. I already know I want her to make my next birthday cake! Cakes and Bakes is great. You can’t go wrong. I vetted a lot of vendors and her customer service was top notch! The pricing was reasonable and it was hard to find someone to make a small Gluten free cake. For those Non GF people out there, I was told all the cupcakes were delicious.

Incredible service & wedding cake taste!

Luna was such a pleasure to work with! She was so helpful from the beginning. She let my sister-in-law do a cake tasting for my husband and I while we were still living in CT. She also let my husband and I do another cake tasting once we moved to NC. Her cakes taste absolutely amazing! Especially the red velvet with cream cheese icing! She was more than accommodating to my husband and I and was so flexible with everything. Luna is the best and makes the most incredible cakes and cupcakes! I highly recommend her for anyone wedding or special event. The price was great and the taste was even better!

A Blessing

Absolutely delicious cake and cupcakes. Our wedding cake was stunning, simply stunning. We sent our vision to Luna and were just amazed by how beautiful the cake was and how the dessert table was set up. Our guests raved! Luna made the entire process, from tasting to the day of, stress free. Luna provided guidance and recommendations based on party size and was very responsive. Would highly recommend Cakes & Bakes and would plan to use Cakes & Bakes for any future special event needs. Luna did not disappoint and it was a blessing to have her a part of our special day.

Amazing experience!

We had such a wonderful experience! The cake tasted AMAZING. Even through postponing our wedding due to COVID, Cakes and Bakes was flexible, responsive and professional. They made it work for our new wedding date! They even made a groom’s cake for my husband that far exceeded my expectations! Can’t recommend them enough!
