Allison is simply the BEST!!!

Allison is an amazing baker. She create several different cakes for our "coffee hour" reception and just knocked it out of the park. She made us a beautiful tiered couple's cake for cutting and also made the most decadently delicious sheet cakes with fresh berries for mass service to our guests. She was a joy to work with and we enjoyed getting to know her through this whole process. Every bit of what you get is worth what you pay for Allison and her phenomenal talents We shared our vision with her and she ran with it completely blowing us away on the most special day for us. We couldn't have been happier. Thank you, Allison!!!

My Go To!!

The Cake Effect is my “go-to” for every occasion. I have been a return customer for years. I have had countless cakes and cupcakes baked to perfection by Allison at The Cake Effect. Allison is extremely talented and reliable. Everything always comes out better than expected and tastes delicious. The Cake Effect hands down makes my favorite banana split cupcakes.

Lastly, I’d love to acknowledge how Allison goes above and beyond for her customers. I had a situation where I last minute was not able to pick up my cake that I had paid for and she went out of her way to deliver it to me. Best customer service one could ask for. I would recommend The Cake Effect to everyone and anyone!

Engagement heart cake

I was looking for a heart shaped engagement cake to feed 15 to 20 people with some specific Decorations that I had in mind. Within the hour of my request, Allison had contacted me. I sent her a picture of what I was envisioning and she said it would be no problem. When I came to pick it up, it had exceeded all my expectations. It was absolutely beautiful. And I can say I have never tasted a better vanilla cake and buttercream frosting. She is also very reasonably priced. I would recommend her for any baked needs.
