Delicious Cake!

We got our wedding cake through Cakes by Cathy Young, and it was delicious! I worked mostly with her son, Brian, and he was very nice and helpful. We kept it really simple: a vanilla cake with vanilla icing and very limited décor, and it was absolutely perfect. I loved the clean, elegant look of the cake, but the taste was even better! We had so many people ask where we got our cake!

Best wedding cake ever!

Cathy's wedding cake was not only beautiful, it was delicious! Our wedding was almost a month ago and our guests are still raving about the delicious vanilla cake with raspberry filling. We heard countless times that it was the best wedding cake they had ever had. Cathy and Bryan were so easy to work with and provided a beautiful silver cake stand for the day of. Thank you, Cathy!!

So delicious!!

Many friends of ours told us about Cakes By Cathy and as soon as we tried her cakes we knew we needed to have her do our wedding cake!! We got a signature vanilla with strawberry and it was so good! We could't wait to eat in on the wedding day. Cathy was super helpful whenever we had questions and I could not have been happier with the cake she made for us! Thank you to you and your team's hard work in making our wedding day special with your delicious cake!

Get the red velvet!

Cathy was wonderful to work with! She nailed my vision of a very simple 3 tier cake, and the red velvet cake was to die for. My guests are still talking about it!

Best cake!

Save yourself some time, go visit Cathy and taste her cakes...you won't need to look any further! Our daughter lives out of town, and I was planning the wedding here in SA. A local caterer suggested Cathy, I made a tasting appointment. Cathy is so sweet and helpful, she patiently helped us decide on a cake style. My daughter and her fiance chose a 3 tier with 3 different flavors...almond, red velvet, and carrot (each with unique fillings). On the wedding day, we arrived at the venue to see the beautiful cake, it was perfect. The groom's cake was a 3 layer chocolate, also decorated just as requested. Once the cake was sliced, the guests could not believe how delicious it tasted! Oh my gosh, I have never had such moist and melt-in-your-mouth wedding cake! My only regret is that I didn't get to taste the carrot cake layer, but guests said it was divine. You cannot go wrong with a Cake by Cathy....it's worth every penny!!!

Delicious Cakes!!

Cathy's Cakes are like no other! She bakes in the comfort of her beautiful home. Her vanilla cake with buttercream frosting melts in your mouth! I showed Cathy a photo of a cake idea and she did not disappoint! One guest told me he ate 3 slices of wedding cake at the reception because it tasted so good! Our groom's cake was red velvet and Cathy also added our edible emblem for the top of the cake. Thankfully we had leftover wedding cake available and a few weeks later her frozen cake still tasted AMAZING!

BEST, beautiful cake!

Cathy and her team were so easy to work with, and her cake for my wedding was absolutely delicious! It’s one of the best cakes I’ve ever had – so moist and light – and I’m still thinking about it three weeks later. You won’t regret booking Cathy.

The best cake I’ve ever had

After the wedding I had at least 10 guests come up to me to see who made the cake (one said he ate 7 pieces!!). The best tasting cake we have ever had and for a really great price. Could not be happier with the cake!
