About

Cakes by Kathy has been designing custom wedding cakes with family crafted recipes for over 30 years. Kathy specializes in moist buttercream frosted cakes with a broad selection of homemade fillings. Her cakes are delivered and bordered on site and Kathy can also decorate your cake with fresh flowers if the florist has them available for her at the time of her delivery. She has three pricing tiers based upon flavors and ingredients and does not upcharge based upon the cake design. Bride's cakes range from $3.00 to $3.50 per serving and groom's cakes start at $2.75 per serving. Unlike some large bakeries, when you hire Cakes by Kathy, she will be the one designing your cake. She does tastings typically Monday - Thursday at her home office in Pflugerville, Texas (78660) taking her last appointment at 6pm. Kathy has albums full of her cake designs, shapes and sizes and you are always welcome to bring in a photo of the cake design that you would like for her to create. Although she can do a smooth finish in buttercream, she does not cover her cakes with fondant icing due to the taste and texture of fondant.

Kathy looks forward to creating your special wedding cake, with an emphasis on taste and moistness as reflected in her reviews.

Delicious and Beautiful

We chose Cakes by Kathy because of the quality and taste. I had originally picked out another vendor based on their relative celebrity status, but switched to Cakes by Kathy after my family and now husband kept raving about how delicious the cakes were at the tasting. The cakes were a little too sweet for my taste still (I'm not used to the South) and asked Kathy to cut back on the sugar content. It was absolutely delicious the day of the wedding and everyone loved the cakes. We ordered a 3 tier cake (6", 8", 10") and a grooms cake (8") for a party of 75 guests (not including vendors) and there was ample cake to feed everyone with seconds. With the delivery fee (about 40-50 min away), the total came out to be $554. We are so excited to try our topper again in a year!

Kathy is the Cake Guru

Kathy was amazing to work with! Her ability to create two DELICIOUS cakes exactly the way we described it to her was incredible. We were complimented left and right for how great our cakes looked, and those compliments quickly shifted to how amazing the cake tasted! I would recommend Kathy to anyone and everyone within her service zone.

If You Need A Cake THIS Is Your Lady!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! If you need Affordable and Great tasting cake look no further! I was referenced to Kathy by my officiant and I was SO glad I was. Not only is her cake affordable, but it is absolutely DELICIOUS! The french vanilla cake with amaretto filling was to die for! I was lucky enough to be able to bring some home and it did not last long and I'm sure I've gained a little post wedding weight because of it! 😂 Worth it! Even my husband who "does not like cake" loved it!
