Love love love!

EK Cakery was absolutely a hit at our wedding! We had an assortment of desserts of macarons, cookies, cupcakes, dessert bars, and a beautiful artistic 3 tier cake. We had many compliments about every dessert we served. At the end of the night, there were only a few macarons left! We are very pleased with everything and would love to keep giving business to EK Cakery.
*Note: The dog figure near the cake was made by me.

Amazing wedding cake

Thank you very much for creating such a special and beautiful cake for my wedding day. I look at pictures and still cannot believe how perfect it was. I received many compliments on its beauty as well as delicious taste.

Highly recommend!

Honest to goodness, cannot recommend EK Cakery enough. We booked our wedding with Erica in early 2020. She was incredibly understanding when we had to move our wedding date due to COVID.

This worked out great because it allowed us two additional years to try a wide variety of the cakerie's offerings, as we would stop by on their Saturday hours to try purchase some treats. Our favorites are by far the macaroons and cupcakes.

The day of the wedding Erica and her team were fantastic! They were super timely, rocked out set-up, and the decor options selected were perfect. We also ended up ordering a tres leche for a non-wedding event which also tasted AMAZING!!!

Also, their s'mores-flavored marshmallows? I could go on and on.

Excellent experience start to finish!

Can I give EK Cakery more stars than 5? From the very beginning with our initial meeting and tasting with Erica - we knew she was the person we wanted to work with! Our cake decoration needs weren't extreme - our wedding theme was simple and elegant - but the flavors! OMG! It was so hard to choose so we chose four! Top knotch in everything! So easy to work with and definitely the best cake I've ever had. Everyone at the wedding (including the woman who crashed the wedding) raved about it. Thank you for making our day just "that much better!"

Wonderful Small Town Business

After completing the contract everything was so easy. They literally take care of everything. I was still in the bridal suite when they set up and they just jumped right in and took care of it. Super refreshing to have people come in and do their best work! BROWNIES WERE AMAAAAZING

Absolutely Amazing and Delicious!

From the beginning, Erica has been absolutely amazing. The tasting was great - even though it was a tasting, Erica took the time to make the presentation beautiful. We were blown away by both the flavors and the looks.

For our wedding, we ended up getting a display cake for cutting which was AMAZING, four flavors of cupcakes for the guests, a variety of dessert bars, and gourmet marshmallows. All were delicious!

Erica helped us plan out the proper number of desserts so we didn't get too much and have a lot of leftovers - we only ended up with a small box of cupcakes leftover because the numbers were perfect. We also rented display stands from Erica, and the way it was set up was flawless!

Throughout the process, working with Erica was the easiest thing to do. We highly recommend Erica and EK Cakery for any of your cake and dessert needs!

Beautiful, Delicious Cake

Erica baked our wedding cake, and it was absolutely perfect! In addition to being delicious, it was absolutely stunning and exactly what I had in mind. She was wonderful to work with, and we couldn’t have been happier with her outstanding work. We would highly recommend booking with her for any event you have coming up!

We loved our geode cake from EK Cakery! We chose EK Cakery for their design and ability to create a vision. They had a nice variety in flavors and enjoyed our cake tasting at their bakery. They were so easy to work with and not a hassle or worry.
