Get to know Krissie....
Krissie is truly passionate about making cakes and bringing joy to people's special occasions. She began her love of baking as a child but went on to obtain a Nutrition Science degree from the University of Washington & a Pastry Arts degree from the Seattle Culinary Academy. Taking the advice of so many of her friends to start her own business in 2001 proved to be a success! Krissie continues to perfect her dream and the excitement definitely comes through in every one of her creations. In her spare time she enjoys hiking, trail running, yoga and loves her three cavalier pups. But mostly, she relishes her time with her husband Dan and three adult children and two grand babies.
It is hard to say enough about our amazing experience with the Last Bite. First off, I can confidently say that my husband's favorite part of the of the whole wedding planning process was this cake tasting. You have an opportunity to try all the flavor combinations at your disposal with the samples of cake provided. This allowed us to develop two different flavor profiles so there was something for everyone to enjoy at our reception. The cake was a huge hit at the reception. We were told numerous times it was the "best wedding cake" guests had ever tasted. I also must point out that from tasting to our wedding day everything was handled in a professional manner and I never had any doubts or concerns throughout the process. Wedding planning can certainly be stressful so the importance of having a vendor who is professional and communicative can't be overstated! Finally, the Last Bite worked closely with our florist to make sure our incredible cake looked just as good as it tasted. I can't recommend them highly enough!

Wow, thank you Abbey for such a fabulous review! It was such an honor to make your wedding cake and to be a part of your spectacular autumn wedding at Columbia winery. It gives me such pleasure knowing how much the cake was enjoyed by everyone. I hope to work with you again in the future for any special celebration cakes you may need. Hugs, Krissie

Original Flavor
We had a great experience with Krissie! We loved how many combinations her flavors allowed for, her service is professional, and she works really well to accommodate people’s visions. You can tell that she tries, and it was really appreciated. Her prices are fair, too, which we really respect. We asked for a lot, because I had a really fantastic vision for the wedding, and I think Krissie did her best to deliver my dreams. Thank you for all of your work!
My only complaint is that our wedding cake was served to us so cold that we could barely taste it. I don’t know who’s fault this may have been, but it’s a bummer because we know that the cakes would have been incredible if we could actually taste them!

Thank you Mat for such a fabulous review! I appreciate the detail you provided for future clients. I absolutely loved working with you and Michelle and am so glad I was able to bring your vision to fruition. Though I am so sorry to hear about the cake being too cold to thoroughly enjoy. I will contact you privately to discuss further. All the best, Krissie

Look no further. Best cake ever!!
2 weeks before the wedding, my son and his informed me they did not have a wedding cake. What??! I started contacting vendors with little to no hope of getting a cake. Krissie contacted me and I asked for a miracle, and she totally delivered the most beautiful and tasty cake I've ever had! I can not imagine what she could do with a reasonable time window!!
