About

On WeddingWire since 2014

Deborah's Specialty Cakes is a small wedding bakery located in Athens, Georgia. This locally-owned business takes a hands-on approach with each couple, designing and crafting a cake tailored to their style and tastes. Each piece that leaves this kitchen has been baked with pride and love, along with close attention to detail so that it wows in both flavor and presentation.

Services Offered

A consultation gives the couple and baker an opportunity to collaborate and find the perfect style sweet treat for the day. Along with the wedding cake, this can include cake pops, cookies, croquembouche, and even a dessert buffet. Delivery and setup in the venue will be looked after by the bakery team.

Overall amazing!

I would highly recommend her!!

She's the best baker you can find for any occasion. Her cakes are super fluffy and moist, the fillings are delicious and the sky is the limit, and the icings are not too sweet and are overall well balanced!!

Everything was super easy - the first response on my email was really quick and extremely detailed (she obviously took a lot of time and effort to answer all of my questions). She's such a warm-hearted person that we needed only one phonecall to talk about all important questions and everything was planned with great email communication in less than a week.

Being creative with her was such a pleasure and even if you don't know at first how everything's gonna look like in the end or if you just have a rough idea at first, she will be there patiently, supportive, and helpful until you are absolutely happy with the end result.

She was super flexible to offer us a cake tasting during these tough times and it was the most amazing cake tasting you could ever imagine. We just stayed at our wedding venue and she made it possible that we could stop by on our way home, got this wonderful variety of her cakes and fillings to get an idea of what she's offering and it was so wonderful to meet the person behind the scenes.

She's gonna make our wedding cakes and 3 three tires filled with unique and special cupcakes for our wedding. I'm so excited and happy that she's gonna be a part of the most important day of our lives.

Thank you so much for everything!!

Best Money Spent

I couldn’t recommend Deborah enough. From our initial consultation all the way to the wedding day we have received nothing short of exemplary service and value. I can’t imagine the wedding with any other cake. If you’re looking for the best cake for your wedding, look no further. Deborah was hands down the best money we spent on the wedding. We will definitely steer any friends we come across to her!
