    Easy, Easy 10/10

    My only regret is that my husband and I currently live in Oregon and were unable to try the samples, so we had to go off the reviews of one of his friends in Virginia, whose opinion we 100% trust. He facetimed us the whole time he was trying them and we knew based off the faces and noises he made that no matter what flavors we decided on, it was going to be gold.

    We ended up doing a three tier cake: bottom tier was chocolate (amazing, and not overly sweet), middle tier was cookies and cream (my personally favorite), and we went with a simple white and strawberry filling for the top layer. We had tons of compliments on the cake. Just writing this review at 10am makes my mouth water lol.

    Absolute perfection!

    When we did our tasting, we had chosen 3 different vendors - something everyone told us was a mistake as we would have to many choices and it would be hard to narrow down. And while each and every bakery was delicious - at the end of the day, there simply was no contest - we had 7 people at the tasting with us - and EVERY SINGLE PERSON hands down selected Crystal as the best of the best. Her attention to detail, her willingness to make the design my daughter wanted work for us within our budget, and the amazing moist, delicious, and beautiful cake she created to fit our vision - every step was beyond perfect. The compliments we received throughout the reception are only a tiny testament to the truly wonderful experience we had working with Crystal. I simply cannot recommend highly enough, it was pure joy!

    Crystal is amazing!

    Crystal did a fabulous job with our wedding cake. Not only did it look amazing but it was delicious! I wanted a simple cake with white butter cream frosting and real fresh flowers and she delivered exactly what we wanted. Crystal is truly a talented baker and I would highly recommend her for any event that you need an outstanding cake for!

    Best Wedding Cake Company Ever!!!

    My cake was ABSOLUTELY the best part of my wedding! A lot of things went wrong that day, but the cake was PERFECT! I was so amazed how every single detail was exactly the way I wanted!!! And it was sooooo delicious! I am incredibly happy and honored that Crystal was willing to make my cake (especially on only 2 weeks' notice)! My guests are still raving about it one month later!

    Wonderful Experience

    Crystal was AWESOME. We had a couple cake tastings before stumbling across Cakes by Crystal and could not be happier with our decision. She was very down to earth and created exactly what we wanted. She even delivered all the way to Corolla, NC, which we truly appreciated and the cake looked and tasted just like we wanted and expected. I do not have enough wonderful things to say about our experience with Cakes by Crystal. I look forward to being in contact with her again some time for specialty cakes! :)

    4-Tier Baily's Irish Cream Buttercream - soooo YUM!

    Crystal made our incredibly elegant and tasty wedding cake! We'd researched and tasted at several bakeries and we had the best experience tasting with Crystal. Not only did she make us several different cakes to try, she also made us a Bailey’s Irish cream frosting that was absolutely amazing and just what we wanted! I showed her the designs from some Pinterest cakes that I liked, and she said she could craft something that was very similar but also unique to our wedding and theme. We ended up going with an almond cake with Baily's Irish cream buttercream frosting for our guests and a chocolate cake with the same frosting for our top tier (I can't wait to eat that on our 1st Anniversary!!) I was so impressed with Crystal's level of professionalism and her artistic designs. Her invoice was certainly the most pretty of all of our invoices as it had her cake sketch included on it - smile! On the day of the wedding, she delivered the cake at the venue two hours in advance of the wedding, and all of the events staff remarked how helpful she was in getting the cake table and display just perfect. She even worked with our floral designer to make sure the table had some beautiful accents that went with the cake stand, which she supplied and looked amazing. The guests at my wedding remarked that the cake was one of the most delicious cakes they’ve ever had and there was proof of that as it got eaten almost all gone!! I would love to use Crystal again for any of my major life events that require sweets! I would highly recommend her as her prices are extremely reasonable and her designs are of the upmost exquisite perfection! Thank you Crystal for helping to make our wedding day so beautiful!

    We have used Crystal for her amazing tasting and beautiful cakes and cupcakes for many years. She has always provided a top-notch quality product that leaves everyone asking, "who made this cake?" and our wedding cake and cupcakes were no exception. Crystal worked with us to create 6 unique cupcake flavors and a traditional cutting cake for our day. She delivered the beautiful cake and cupcakes herself, traveling from Chesapeake, Va to New Kent, Va on the day of a hurricane! My husband and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a memorable, tasty cake for ANY occasion!

    Crystal is an amazing cake maker! I used her for my wedding as well as a 30th birthday cake for my husband. Her cakes are super delicious and look just as great. I can assure you that she will always be on time, professional and meet your expectations above and beyond. She is reasonably priced for the amazing work that she delivers! I highly recommend her!

    Crystal made our wedding cake and cupcakes for our wedding at the Williamsburg Winery on 11/21/15. Crystal was so sweet and our cake was AMAZING. Crystal was so easy to work with and was very friendly and accommodating. She was the only cake vendor we met with for our wedding cake and after meeting her, we knew she was the one for us! We chose almond, strawberry, and cookies and cream for our cupcakes and an almond cake for the wedding cake. The cake was SO tasty! We got so many compliments from our guest saying it was the best cake they had ever tasted. The display for the cake and cupcakes was absolutely stunning as well. I would recommend Cakes by Crystal to anyone in need of a cake. The cake was incredible and Crystal was a joy to work with. Thank you Crystal for helping make our day so wonderful :)

    We ordered a wedding cake, grooms cake, and 100 cupcakes from Crystal for our wedding in early October. Crystal did an amazing job on everything! My husband LOVED his grooms cake, he didn’t want to cut into it! The cake itself was delicious, everyone at our wedding went back for seconds if they could! She brought my vision to life and everything was better than I could have imagined. I would highly recommend her and will definitely be ordering from her again!

    Our cake turned out AMAZING! The tasting was set up very professionally and we had a lot of options to choose from. We decided on vanilla/chocolate marble and cookies and cream for our wedding cake which was delicious! Our cake toppers ended up not fitting properly due to my error, so she included additional toppers for us and used our personalized decorations next to the cake. The cake design itself turned out even better then I imagined!

    Crystal made us the absolute most beautiful and delicious wedding cake I have ever had! We had a beach themed wedding, and Crystal decorated our cake to fit the theme beautifully! We had chocolate batter with raspberry filling and buttercream icing. Literally everyone who had a slice of the cake said it was the best cake they have ever had. I could not be more satisfied with the cake or the service Crystal provided. If you are within her service area, GET ONE OF HER CAKES! You won't be disappointed!! :)

    I spoke to numerous cake vendors. All overpriced and the quality was horrid. I wanted to find someone who was affordable and created beautiful pieces of artwork that tasted like heaven. Bada Bing Bada BOOM! I found Crystal! My cake was gorgeous and everything I wanted it to be. The girl made me like the taste of cake. That's impossible and amazing! We went with a three tier that had cake icing ruffles and other beautiful details that I am not good at describing. Check my picture on my profile if you want to get an idea of how it looked. Her dark chocolate flavor is to DIE for. I couldn't stop eating it at our vendor meeting. It was so yummy! Cakes by Crystal is definitely a Diamond in the rough! Book her if you want a classy cake with an affordable price :)

    Crystal was awesome! We did cupcakes for our wedding guests and then a two- tiered cake for us and it was delicious. We got so many compliments from our guests on how much they loved the cake. She helped up come up with the design and gave us our cake toppers- that we will treasure forever. We had a whimsical, garden theme for our wedding with navy blue, burlap, and babies breath and Crystal gave us two burlap birds as cake toppers and we use they in our decorations at our apartment now. The cupcakes were reasonably priced compared to other cupcake bakeries, but more expensive than a grocery store (obviously). They were absolutely worth it though. We ended up going with three cupcake flavors because we just couldn't decide how many we wanted. Crystal was super flexible and made the process very easy. I can't wait for another excuse to buy from Crystal!

    Crystal is hands down, the BEST in the wedding cake industry. She took several of my most beloved Pinterest cake finds and created a gorgeous, 4 tier cake using butter-cream instead of fondant. She is so warm and personable to work with and her work speaks for itself. We chose two flavors for the cake: almond and lemon. Everyone raved about how delicious, dense and moist it was. She did a beautiful job and her pricing was wonderful for our budget.

    We had Crystal make us two cakes. A beautiful first birthday cake for our niece and the most beautiful wedding cake. She even delivered them to the rental house which was really helpful. Both cakes were really moist and tasty. One of our guest was still talking about the chocolate cake a week later :) I am so glad I found Crystal online.

    Crystal was so easy to work with and gave us wonderful ideas for our two-tiered wedding cake and 100 cupcakes! Everything turned out even better than I could have imagined it, and the staging of the cupcake tower and flowers was phenomenal! Everything was so moist and yummy, our guests were raving at the quality. I will definitely return to Crystal for future events, and will be recommending her to all!

    I ordered a cake with cupcakes for my wedding and everything looked beautiful and tasted amazing. Crystal was very flexible and allowed me to make changes to the design as needed. I would definitely use her services again.
