Delicious and great looking cake!

Amaru Confections did the best job on my wedding cake, it looked exactly the way that I wanted and pictured. They were helpful at the cake tasting appointment and they answered all my questions. It was delicious, moist and beautiful! My husband loved the cake as much as I did, he loved it so much that he came up with the idea of having Amaru Confections making a single tier cake that is exactly the same as our wedding cake, for us to eat and enjoy on our one year wedding anniversary.

This cake was beautiful! It was exactly how I pictured it. It arrived on time and communication was great. We got Lemon huckleberry, pink champagne and salted chocolate - with buttercream frosting. Everyone LOVED it. We also got gluten free cupcakes for our non flour eaters- and those went over very well too. Best gluten I would highly recommend them.

She is so easy and fun to work with. She can do anything you want. Not only will she make it beautiful, but she also makes a delictable and delicious cake. She is the only person I could find that made a beautiful cake and made it taste so good at the same time.

Amaru Confections made mini-cupcakes for my daughter's wedding. We ordered vegan, gluten-free and regular cupcakes....they were all absolutely delicious! Chris was so easy to work with and was responsive to all my inquiries. I wouldn't hesitate is recommend Amaru Confections!

One of the main reasons we had looked at Amaru Confections when we had been looking at cakes, is they have multiple flavors of cake and fillings which was important to me. When we met with Amy she was fantastic, made us feel comfortable and helped us with everything. I was so excited to see the finish product of our wedding cake when the ceremony was over and it was BEAUTIFUL. The cake and cupcakes we a hit. Everyone loved it all. We had just a little bit of cake left over by the end of the night. Cupcakes were a huge hit as well and the were gone. They did an outstanding job with the colors and everything looked perfect. This was happy bride. I had even went back and ordered our 1 year cake from them. In all honesty any special cakes that I will need, I will be ordering from them. Even my graduation cake from nursing school I will go to them and have them design and make it for me.

Chris at Amaru Confections was a pleasure to work with from the moment we walked into the store to the delivery of our beautiful cake. He was extremely flexible in scheduling a cake tasting for us being that we were planning the wedding from Las Vegas and had to fit appointments in on short weekend trips to Idaho. He was easy to get in touch with and was very open to all of our ideas for cakes, keeping the price within a reasonable range. The cake was AMAZING, beautiful and just delicious. Our guests loved it and a few even said it was the "best cake they had ever tasted". The cake arrived as planned, on time and just as we asked for - as the bride, I didn't have to think or worry about the cake one time on our wedding day as it was perfect. Thank you Chris & Amaru!

Aimee made my wedding! I told her the basics I wanted (including a tiered cake made of cheesecake), and she communicated her ideas, all of which included my desires and more, and continued to communicate with me to make this beautiful and delicious wedding cheesecake that was better than I could have imagined. My ideas necessitated someone who was knowledgable and innovative and she performed impeccably. Her imagination and ability to execute her vision in a cake is priceless. Aimee was sweet, professional, and understood the uniqueness and the importance my wedding had for me, my husband, and our families. Also, the price was less than any other quote I obtained and she was far more flexible and more communicative than the other vendors I spoke with.

Aimee was an OUTSTANDING addition to my wedding vendors. Thank goodness I stumbled upon Amaru Confections!

Chris & Amy were great! For starters we tried several big cake makers in town for our wedding, we tried Amarus 3x everytime they were the moistest! They made us a million mini cupcakes (okay 620 or so) and they were able to rent us a cake stand at the last minute when "planned one" fell through! Super great company to work with - I'll be ordering more in the near future (especially since there wasn't a single cupcake left at the end of our wedding)!

Amaru was such a pleasure to work with, and it was hands down the best wedding cake I've ever tasted. In fact, I've been there almost weekly since to buy cupcakes because I've become obsessed with their buttercream. When we met, they listened to what we wanted, used our photos for inspiration, and made three cakes that were even more beautiful than the inspiration pictures! I had lots of questions throughout the planning year and they were always quick to respond. They delivered the cakes to my venue on time and even arranged the flowers on the main cake. Amaru was even able to accommodate our last-minute request for gluten-free vegan cupcakes (our guests raved about them!). On top of all of this, they are also extremely reasonably priced. I would highly recommend Amaru for any event and plan on visiting them again and again to get my cake fix. Thank you!

Aimee makes the best cakes, I thought I would have a lot of leftover cake at the end of night, but at the end my guests had taken so much home that all we had was one piece plus the top of the cake, which we couldn't wait a year to eat. The cake itself was also beautiful, it had a diamond pattern in the icing with edible pearls, my guests couldn't believe that a cake that beautiful could be that delicious.

Amaru Confections is the way to go for a gorgeous and absolutely DELICIOUS wedding cake! Seriously, don't waste your time with other vendors... schedule an appointment with Aimee and Chris ASAP. :-)

We had gone to 2 other bakeries for a cake tasting, after Amaru, before we decided that neither came close to Amaru. They were very flexible with us even when we had a few appointment snags, and their cake flavors/combos are on a different level than anything else I've encountered. Thankfully, we had extra cake after the ceremony, to enjoy loooong after! Definitely will be using them again, for whatever else I want to celebrate... big or small!

Aimee at Amaru did an incredible job on our cake and was very affordable. The cake was beautiful and two weeks after the wedding I'm still getting compliments from people that it was the most delicious cake they've ever tasted. She was really flexible with us and really open to suggestions when it came to getting exactly what I wanted, I even talked to her just two weeks before the wedding to add a grooms cake and she did it was no problem at all - which ended up being an exact replica of a Makers Mark bottle, which was flawless. We couldn't be happier with Amaru!

Everyone raved about how great the cake tasted, and also how great it smelled! Anyone who walked by caught a wiff of it. The cake looked absolutely perfect, it exceeded my expectations of my idea. I was so happy with how beautiful it looked!
Thank you so much! Aimee is absolutely worth every penny, we're so glad we chose her to do our wedding.

Aimee was so great to work with! My cake came out gorgeous and exactly what I wanted. We decided to go with Amaru after her cake won my taste taste at the January Wedding Party Show. We planned our wedding from Seattle so all of our interactions were over the phone or email. She sent me some idea sketches and I tweeked it around and sent them back. We designed my cake to match my dress so I sent Aimee tons of pictures and fabric and lots of annoying emails. She never once seemed annoyed or frustrated with me. She seemed excited to make the cake!

We only had 100 guests but I wanted a pretty big cake so the size we got fed 134 guests. We figured, worst thing is that we'd have a ton left over but we could freeze some or give it away later. We had 7 pieces left! I think a lot of guests actually had 2 or 3 pieces! We knew it was delicious but apparently everyone else did too! Thank you, Aimee, for your hard work.

Just had my wedding last weekend and the cake and cupcakes we ordered were absolutely amazing! The cake was decorated beautifully, and looked just how I had imagined. We got the Guinness chocolate cake with Irish cream filling, and it was absolutely amazing, people are still commenting on how yummy it was! We also had vanilla cupcakes with lemon curd that were also delicious and fan favorites.
One of the best parts though was the option to have gluten free cupcakes. We have several family members with gluten sensitivities and they usually have to forego desserts, so having yummy chocolate cupcakes that were gluten free was such a treat! I think my uncle had three. :)
Delicious, beautiful cakes and cupcakes! Would definitely work with these folks again.
