Delicious Wedding Cake (and cookies)!

Rachel Bailey is wonderful! She made our groom's cake, wedding cake, and decorated sugar cookies for our wedding weekend and everything was gorgeously decorated and tasted amazing. Rachel was very timely to all communications. I am so thankful we found Rachel and picked her for our wedding!

Rachel was very responsive and easy to communicate with during the entire cake tasting, and ordering process. The presentation of the cake/cupcakes was beautiful and elegant, and the flavors were delicious. We would definitely recommend her!

AMAZING! The cake looked incredible and tasted SO GOOD

The cake WAS STUNNING! OMG! Exactly what I wanted. It was elegant and gorgeous. The taste WAS SO GOOD TOO! I have been to several weddings where the cake was pretty, but the taste not so much so thank you for making both of these happen. I would USE AGAIN and I RECOMMEND 100%! THANK YOU!

Amazing Gluten Free Cakes!

We originally arranged to work with Rachel from for our wedding in September 2020. Due to the pandemic, we had to postpone our celebration until August 2021. Rachel was so accommodating with all the changes we were forced to make. Her gluten free cupcakes were INCREDIBLE! As a bride with celiac, I couldn't have imagined a better dessert. We would definitely recommend! Thanks for everything!

The most beautiful cake!

Rachel was so great to work with and her work product was amazing! Our cake was exactly what we were looking for. I sent her a picture of what I wanted the cake to look like and it turned out exactly how we wanted. Throughout the wedding planning process I would often have random little questions to ask and she was also very responsive and more than accommodating. A friend recommended me to Rachel and said I would LOVE her. Well she's right. I will be using Rachel for any and all cake needs in the future. Thanks again for everything, Rachel!

Yummy cakes that are absolutely beautiful

She outdid herself. The cake was beautiful. I had many compliments on the white chocolate raspberry layer. We chose 3 different cake types for each layer. At the tasting, it was hard to decide because they all were delicious. Very punctual and setup with little fuss. Thank you so much!

Best Cake Ever!

From day one Rachel was so lovely and helpful. I messaged her on WeddingWire about her services and she replied very quickly.
When we went for our cake tasting, she Had provided a variety of options based on what I had asked for.
We went with the chocolate cake for the top layer and let me tell you it’s THE BEST chocolate cake I have ever tasted! (And we had the gluten free one)
She decorated the cake perfectly and it was more than we could have wished for!
Thank you so much!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
