Forever Grateful for Iris Street Bakery

I cannot recommend Iris Street Bakery enough! From the moment I tasted a sample while dress shopping at Sposa Mia, I knew she was the one who had to make our wedding cake. Her flavors were out of this world and the sampler I purchased was not only delicious but absolutely beautiful—it made the whole cake decision process genuinely fun (who knew?!). What truly sets her apart, though, is the level of attention and care she gave us throughout the entire planning process. She helped ease all my cake-related worries leading up to the big day and was such a calming, supportive presence. You can tell she pours her heart into every detail. Our cake turned out stunning and delicious—we even saved some for our one-year anniversary and I'm already counting down the days! I’ll be raving about her to anyone who’ll listen, especially all my friends and family getting married soon. Iris Street Bakery is a gem!

THE wedding cake of my dreams!!!!

I’ve been following Michelle since I saw her on the Food Network and I was so excited to finally meet with her to talk about my wedding cake! The moment my husband and I tried the cakes in her tasting box we knew she’d be making our cake. I had a really difficult time deciding on the direction that I wanted to take my cake and I had sent in way too many inspiration photos. Somehow Michelle was able to make sense of everything and create a sketch with all the pieces that I loved that just felt like me. Seeing her sketch as a cake on my wedding day is something I’ll never forget and the fact that the flavor was perfect just made my day even more amazing!!! I will always recommend Iris Street Bakery to anyone out there in need of a beautiful and delicious cake!!!

Best Service and Cake EVER!

We had such a great experience with Michelle! I had to plan my South Texas wedding from Illinois and Michelle was by far one of the easiest and sweetest vendor to work with. We officially met through our virtual consultation and my now husband and I had the best time designing our wedding cake. She went above and beyond with her beautiful sketch and at that moment I knew we were in great hands! Our cake matched the springy mood for our wedding and I was in love with the sugar flowers. We weren’t able to get our hands on a tasting box, so we were a bit nervous with our adventurous selection of a royal wedding inspired elderflower cake, lemon curd and blueberry frosting. Clearly I put my trust in the right person, because everyone was obsessed with the cake! Thank you so, so much Michelle!!! You’re the best girl!!!! ❤️

Best Part of Wedding Planning!

I cannot recommend Michelle from Iris Street Bakery enough! My husband and I decided to get married in South Texas but we live out of state and were worried about the distance when planning. Out of every step of the wedding planning the cake was by far the easiest and most delicious part! We were able to pick up our tasting boxes while we were in Texas and the rest of the process was done virtually. Super easy and Michell is such a delight to work with and our cake? I loved it then and I can’t wait for another taste on our one year anniversary!

Hands Down Favorite

Our experience with Iris Street Bakery was a 10 out of 10 from start to finish! We met Michelle at a local wedding fair and she had such a fun energy and the little cake sample she provided sealed the deal. We started off with a take home tasting box and everything tasted so good it was tough to make a decision. During our virtual consultation, I had a couple of cakes in my mind that I kept going back to while planning our wedding and Michelle was able to perfectly blend my aspects of each into the wedding cake I didn't even realize I had in my head. When I finally laid eyes on our cake during our reception I was beyond overwhelmed and I couldn't believe it was better in person. Her attention to detail is out of this world and when anyone is ever looking for a cake, without a hesitation, I will always say Iris Street Bakery. Thank you so much Michelle!

Incredible Cakes

Michelle was such a joy to work with from the very first welcoming "hello". She was so friendly and made the cake process so easy! She is so talented, sweet, and really makes your cake dreams come to life! Not only are her cakes absolutely beautiful, they are so delicious! At our wedding, I literally had family members commenting such nice things about the cake and they even wanted to know who made it. Speaking of our wedding, the cake was way more beautiful than what we imagined on paper. Her attention to detail is absolutely amazing. I definitely will be recommending her to others and work with her again for my upcoming celebrations! Thank you!

Sweetest Process Ever!

Michelle from Iris Street Bakery made every step of our wedding planning process so special! We first had a slice of one of her cakes at a friend's wedding a few years ago and I had been following her since! My husband and I made a little part between us with her at home tasting boxes and it has since become one of our favorite planning memories. During out consultation, she really knew the direction I wanted to take our wedding cake and she created the sketch right in front of us and it felt like a dream seeing everything come together. The most important part? The guest loved the cake and my hubs and I were able to save the top tier for our one year anniversary next year! I'm so grateful I found Michelle and I hope if you get the opportunity to work with her you go for it!

Everything I could have hoped!

Michelle was a total sweetheart! From the very start, she was all about making my wedding cake dreams come true. And let me tell you, she nailed it! The design she created was everything I wanted but couldn't bring to words, specifically the clear tier with pressed sugar flowers inside. Just perfect! And don't even get me started on the sugar flowers and gold leaf—they added such a fancy touch. Michelle was also super stoked about using color, which I was all for, and let me tell you, that cake not only looked amazing but tasted even better! Thanks a million, Michelle, for making my cake thoughts a reality!

Worth Every Penny

Working with Michelle was one of the happiest accidents of our wedding planning process. Since we were planning our wedding from afar, we thought we’d play it safe and work with a baker we’ve used in the past. As luck would have it, that baker was booked for our wedding day. After an Instagram story post seeking help, my inbox was FILLED with recommendations for Iris Street Bakery. I reached out to Michelle that same day and was able to meet and pick up a sample the weeks following during a trip down to the valley. The only thing that competes with Michelle‘s craftmanship is her personality. Her energy is incredible and her her excitement to try new things drew me to her even more—I knew she was the one. The cake itself blew us away. I had no idea that the cake flowers were sugar flowers until after the wedding…they looked so realistic that I spent our entire big day thinking they were! I can’t recommend Michelle enough, she was easily one of our favorite vendors to work with. Oh, and did I mention how we had to stop ourselves while wrapping up the top-tier post wedding to freeze because we wouldn’t stop eating it?! IT WAS SO GOOD!
