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!

Best. Cake. Ever.

Deb was incredible. Not only did she bake the world's most delicious wedding cake that tasted like a s'more - but she made my father-in-law a birthday cupcake and my bridesman a strawberry cupcake to make them feel special. It was perfect - the cake was beautiful and DELICIOUS. I would trust her with any special event.

Deborah's made our wedding cake in June and I can't say emough good things about her! She was easy to work with, her prices are fair and she was willing to go the extra mile to make our cake even nicer than the photo I gave her to work from. Our friends are still raving about how moist and delicious the cake was and that frosting!!! I have recommended her to all my friends and I can't wait to eat her cake agoin at their weddings!

Her cakes are the best by far! The tres leches cake with italian buttercream and caramel on top was soooo good. Only regret is that we should have bought two! Our bridal cake was also amazing! Deborah was patient with me through the whole process, was flexible and let me have any flavor combinations I wanted, even in the same cake! It was great, because each flavor was someone's favorite, so it worked well to make sure everyone was happy. She even decorated my cake at the event and made it look so perfect! I was amazed and am very grateful she was able to make our cakes. Now, I'm just trying to figure out the next time I will be in town with an event so I can get another cake!! Thanks, Deborah!

Deb was a joy to work with! She made our groom's cake and wedding cake, and I am still hearing from guests how delicious the cakes were. She was super responsive, had great ideas for our cakes, and is a lovely, professional person to speak with. Definitely recommend.

Deb sold us on our first cake tasting-we didn't even look anywhere else. She has a great personality, and makes a fabulous tasting cake. The hardest part was picking the flavor. Her frosting is fantastic. Our cake was 3 tier, square with botanical details/leaves and it was lovely. I wish I could eat her cake again-but we ate all of our "saved" wedding cake the night of the wedding! :)

There were certain qualities that were important to me in choosing someone to create my wedding cake. The first was presentation and ambiance. The second was delicious taste. The third was the expense. I knew that I needed someone who I could communicate easily with to achieve all my goals. Deb Dykstra of Deborah's Specialty Cakes made every step of the process easy, fun, and pleasant. Not only did I feel that Deborah was an exceptional baker (there is no better tasting cake anywhere as far as I'm concerned), but I could see that she was also an artist and could create my dream wedding cake for me. Additionally, and very important in my experience, Deb Dykstra took the time to care about me as a bride. Our wedding cake was truly the cake of my dreams, thanks to Deb of Deborah's Specialty Cakes.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
