    Dream Cakes is the best!

    We worked with Johanna from Dream Cakes. She was responsive, professional, and easy to work with. We went with a 2-tier cutting cake just for us, and it was perfect! It was delicious, and absolutely beautiful. We could not be happier with our choice to go with Dream Cakes for our wedding and are already looking forward to having more cake on our first anniversary!

I'm originally from Reno, Nevada where at age four, I baked her first batch of cookies with my great-grandma. In 2008, I moved to Portland with my bestie and attended Oregon Culinary Institute where I graduated with degrees in both the baking and culinary programs. Since graduating, I has worked in and helped open several bakeries in the PNW before purchasing Dream Cakes. I believe cake is more than just a creative outlet, it’s my contribution to society. Cake plays a major role in our special memories, so for Pete’s sake don’t skip the cake, as my grandma would say!
