Amazing Wedding Cake Experience with Cakes by Vivi!

Cakes by Vivi delivered an exceptional wedding cake that was both delicious and visually stunning. From the initial tasting to the final delivery, working with Vivi was a seamless experience.
The cake itself not only looked exquisite but also tasted fantastic, we had very few slices of cake left! Many of our guests commented on how it was one of the best wedding cakes they had, which speaks volumes about the quality and flavor of her creations. The flavors were rich and well-balanced, showcasing Vivi's expertise in cake design and baking.
Vivi's professionalism made the entire process enjoyable. She was attentive to our preferences during the tasting, guiding us through various options and helping us select the perfect combination for our special day. Her commitment to using high-quality ingredients was evident in every bite, as the cake was moist and flavorful.
On the day of the wedding, Vivi ensured everything went smoothly with the setup. The cake was beautifully arranged, complementing our wedding decor perfectly. Her attention to detail truly shone through.
We are thrilled with our experience with Cakes by Vivi and will definitely order from her again. We highly recommend her!

Beautiful wedding cake!

Vivi was a pleasure to work with in securing my dream cake for our wedding! I met Vivi in her tasting room in South Austin. She came prepared with mini bites of cake and frosting which I had preselected via email. Vivi has a multitude of different cake and icing flavors as well as different types of icing. We wanted to go for something light and classic so we settled on an almond base cake with strawberry cream icing. During this time we also went through the cake sizing options and prices.

Vivi and I corresponded through email through the entire process. I sent her my cake inspo photos and she shared her previous creations. Note that she also offers cake stand and cake knife set rentals - they must be returned within the next day.

I was not around for the delivery or the set-up of the cake. Vivi located the florals set aside for the cake, made sure they were secured and was off! The cake was exactly as I envisioned - clean and classic; and it was incredibly tasty!

Thank you to Viviana for working with us! We highly recommend her to other couples looking for a cake for their wedding!

Delicious and stunning Cakes by Vivi!

Vivi was so incredibly responsive and brought our vision of what we wanted our wedding cake and groom's cake to look like and then some! Her cakes not only look amazing but they taste absolutely delicious - we still have some of our guests raving that our cakes were the best they had ever had at a wedding almost a month later! We chose a lemon cake with strawberry compote and swiss buttercream frosting for our wedding cake and a fudge cake with strawberry compote and mocha buttercream frosting for the groom's cake. We highly recommend Vivi!!

Not a wedding cake but fantastic all the same!!!

5 billion stars is not enough stars - I can't recommend Vivi enough for her speed, attentiveness to detail, and willingness to pull my buns out of a jam when I needed a cake for 80 people with less than half a day's notice.

Did I mention I'm literally a thousand miles away from where the event was taking place? And that she called me after 8:00PM ET for a delivery of a cake at 5:30PM CT the very next day?

Vivi handled everything flawlessly and calmly, performed absolutely professionally from the initial [panicky] order to the names on the cake to the delivery to the actual cake itself... and saved the day with a cake that the attendees RAVED about in presentation and taste! Thank you so much, Vivi, my team sees me as a hero because of you!

4-tiers of amazingness!

Vivi was truly amazing! We met with her about 6 months before the wedding to taste test and design our cake, as it was an absolute must for my husband to have a big statement cake that also tasted delicious. We ordered a 4-tier cake, swapping every other layer with red velvet and almond. My goodness- IT WAS PHENOMENAL! We also did a mix of American and Swiss buttercream. Even with around 200 guests, we had a full tier to take home and save in our freezer for later- as is customary.

Additionally, Vivi was wonderful to work with! She was sincere and professional, and willing to create our vision. She even decorated the cake with flowers I provided when she delivered the cake, at no extra charge. She went above and beyond to make the order/delivery seamless, the cake super good, and a lasting memory of the “cutting the cake” experience. Highly recommend!

Best Tasting Cake!!

Vivian created our tiny wedding cake for us and it was PERFECT!! We requested an almond flavored cake with strawberry and buttercream filling, naked coated with flecks of gold! She delivered the cake with a smile, promptly and securely packed. The flavor of the cake was stunning! It was so moist, delicious, and beautiful! I added flowers and a topper to the cake and we were ready! Thanks so much for nailing our vision! Hope to have you make anniversary cakes for us in the future too!
