Exactly the wedding cake we were hoping for

Allison made us an incredible cake — it was beautiful AND delicious. Wedding cake tasting was a delicious highlight of the planning process, and Allison is such an artist, we loved how it turned out!

Lake Tahoe Cakes is amazing! Book with them!

Lake Tahoe Cakes is amazing. We booked them for our wedding in September and were blown away with the cake.
They were super easy and fun to work with. We had initially gone for a tasting where we met Allison and talked more details. We had so much fun trying all the flavors and chatting. We had initially walked away thinking we were going to do a smaller cake and a dessert bar and when the wedding got closer we totally switched to doing a 4 tier cake! That is a big change and they were so accommodating and patient with us. Our correspondence was mostly all through email and they are always very responsive.

Allison and Lisa, it was really a pleasure to work with you. The cake was beautiful!! Everyone loved it and commented on how amazing it was and it tasted delicious! Matt and I will be forever grateful that you were a part of our day.

Not just dessert, ART!

Allison is not only a wonderful human, but an epically talented artist as well. To call her a baker would be an extreme understatement. She is a wizard of wedding cakes and will give you something beyond your imagination. As a Wedding Planner, I know that your wedding cake is a focal point of your day and we trusted NO ONE ELSE. Her cakes are not just cake, they are pieces of ART. She created the most stunning wedding cake we could have dreamed of. Our inspiration was tweaked and perfected it into something unique and custom just for us. She perfectly matched the moody and romantic style, color and flowers for our wedding day, even crafting the most stunning handmade flowers and foliage. Not only was the cake GORGEOUS, but it tasted so incredibly amazing!! She also made us favor boxes with macarons for our guests and ensured those matched as well. They were DELICIOUS. Allison - you are amazing and we can't thank you enough for such an incredible wedding cake. It was far beyond anything we dreamed. You will always be our favorite!! - Lindsey & Ray

Yummy Desserts Bar

The dessert bites from Lake Tahoe Cakes for our wedding were absolutely delicious! Our guests couldn't stop complimenting the variety and flavors of each treat. The standout favorites were definitely the s'mores bites and the strawberry shortcake cups—they were a huge hit!

Lake Tahoe Cakes also did an exceptional job with delivery and setting up the display for the dessert bar, making everything look as amazing as it tasted. We couldn't be happier with our experience and highly recommend them for any event!

Magical cakes

Lake Tahoe cakes was an excellent choice! Everything was so beautiful and delicious! We opted for 3 flavor combinations a lemon cake and blueberries filling, a chocolate cake and brown sugar buttercream and raspberry jam, and a apricot jam almond cake with almond frosting. All three were amazing.... I'll admit it... I opted to eat all three!

They also made beautiful French macarons for our wedding favors. So delicious as well!

We would highly recommend selecting Lake Tahoe Cakes for you wedding goodies and cake!

Delicious Desserts!

Allison did an incredible job bringing our small cake and dessert bar to life! We wanted a fairly minimalist cake, and what she brought to life was exactly like the inspiration photo we shared. We received nothing but positive compliments on the desserts, especially the tiramisu jars! Everything was absolutely delicious, and we highly recommend Lake Tahoe Cakes for your big day.

D e l i c i o u s

We cannot recommend this *sweet* bakery in South Lake Tahoe enough. My husband and I planned a destination wedding and relied heavily on online reviews and social media accounts to make our decision. Lake Tahoe Cakes not only produces absolutely gorgeous desserts, they are incredibly tasty, too. We decided to do a small cake for cutting and focus on a spread of dessert treats for our wedding sweets. EVERYTHING was devoured. After sharing the first bite of our cake cutting, my husband stood there and continued to feed each other the slice of cake (it was too good to put down). We also ordered the bakery's adorable Lake Tahoe cookie with a red heart stamped on it, honoring our wedding location for our welcome bags. Again, they were delighted by all our guests. This bakery is easy to work with (I changed my cake design at least three times :)) and beyond delicious. You can't go wrong!

Lake Tahoe Cakes Rocks!

My husband and I got married in a fairly small ceremony in Lake Tahoe this June. For our reception we knew we didn't want a traditional huge cake, but still wanted something special to mark the occasion. Lake Tahoe Cakes helped us to create a beautiful cupcake display that was such a hit with our guests. The cake flavors they offered are classic, but really tasty and trust me there was not a single cupcake left over. I will be buying our one year anniversary cake from them for sure!

Professional and Delicious!

We hired Lake Tahoe Cakes to serve our wedding in the North Lake Tahoe area and she was the right choice. We visited a few months before the event to do a tasting and we were impressed with every flavor she offered. And she made it easy for us to pick the cake that worked for us. She also provided customized desserts, even ones that other vendors said they wouldn’t do for us. We highly recommend!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
