Creating stunning and delectable cakes in the Pacific NW May through September and in the Coachella Valley of California, October through April.
Located in Redmond, Washington and La Quinta, California, The Last Bite is a boutique bakery that specializes in European wedding cakes. Krissie knows that wedding cakes can get a bad rap prioritizing decor over flavor. That’s why we believe in wedding cakes that are both sophisticated works of art and exceptionally-delicious desserts, accompanied by exemplary service at every step. Specializing in European-style wedding cakes for 21 years, Krissie is passionate about bringing wedding dreams to life through custom-designed, handcrafted wedding cakes. Your wedding cake will be one of your final memories from this momentous celebration – shouldn’t it be unforgettable from the first look to the last bite?
The Cake:
Use only the highest quality ingredients that are organic, sustainable, and locally sourced whenever possible
Unlike traditional wedding cakes, ours are composed in the European-style with a dozen layers per tier - creating a remarkably moist and flavorful cake defined by its exceptional ingredients instead of sweetness alone
Gluten-free and other dietary restriction options available
Services Offered:
The Last Bite can make a variety of desserts for your wedding, including cakes, cookies, croquembouches, cupcakes, groom’s cakes, pastries, and even dessert buffets. They start each relationship with a consultation, to better understand your vision, as well as a tasting, to better understand your flavor preferences. They use high-quality organic, sustainably farmed, and locally sourced ingredients as much as possible, and have gluten-free, nut-free, and vegan options readily available for those with dietary restrictions. On the day of your wedding, they will deliver and set up your delectable dessert, along with a cake stand if necessary. After your wedding, they are happy to provide an anniversary cake to remind you of the joyous occasion.
Tiered cake pricing begins at $10.00 per person and sheet cakes begin at $7.00 per person

So delicious I could eat it every day
I've been to more weddings than I can count. As a general rule cakes look beautiful but I never want to eat more than a bite or so because they tend to be plain or too sweet. We did our cake tasting long distance tasting because we live out of town. Krissie sent us a box full of various mix and matches for us to try along with a booklet of suggestions. Box was well packed. We ended up going with a sheet cake (tall dark and decadent) along with a 2 tier wedding cake (midsummer dream). The cake is very moist and the flavors aren't overly sweet.

I barely got a taste of the cake because the jerks at my wedding STARTED PACKING SECONDS IN TAKE OUT CONTAINERS AND SNEAKING THEM OUT. I hope I get a chance to do it when we have our anniversary.

Mini wedding cake
Our wedding was cancelled and re scheduled 3 times. I was so thankful that Krissie was able to work with us and plan accordingly. She was in contact with us throughout the whole thing making sure we had everything that we needed. Do note that her wedding cakes are a little more spendy than other cakes, this is because they take so much more to make! It is so worth it and her carrot cake is out of this world! I would definitely recommend her.

Thank you Samantha for your glowing review. It was the highlight of my summer to make the dreams come true of my 2020 brides. A whole lot of love goes into each and every cake I make, which makes it all worth it when I receive feedback as yours. Hugs, Krissie

Best tasting cake ever
I loved that we can mix and match our own ingredients to create unique combinations, and Krissie made us three different flavored cakes for the wedding. Our guests raved about our cake, I personally hate normal wedding cake flavors like pink champagne or just chocolate. We will definitely get her cakes every anniversary or special occasions in the future!
