    Delicious and Beautiful

    We chose Cakes by Kathy because of the quality and taste. I had originally picked out another vendor based on their relative celebrity status, but switched to Cakes by Kathy after my family and now husband kept raving about how delicious the cakes were at the tasting. The cakes were a little too sweet for my taste still (I'm not used to the South) and asked Kathy to cut back on the sugar content. It was absolutely delicious the day of the wedding and everyone loved the cakes. We ordered a 3 tier cake (6", 8", 10") and a grooms cake (8") for a party of 75 guests (not including vendors) and there was ample cake to feed everyone with seconds. With the delivery fee (about 40-50 min away), the total came out to be $554. We are so excited to try our topper again in a year!

    Delicious cake!

    Kathy did a wonderful job with our wedding cake! It was beautiful and all three flavors were delicious! We had lemon cake with blueberry filling, carrot cake, and peach chiffon with amaretto filling. Our guests raved about how good the cake was. Kathy was also very easy to work with, and I highly recommend her.

    Kathy is the Cake Guru

    Kathy was amazing to work with! Her ability to create two DELICIOUS cakes exactly the way we described it to her was incredible. We were complimented left and right for how great our cakes looked, and those compliments quickly shifted to how amazing the cake tasted! I would recommend Kathy to anyone and everyone within her service zone.

    Simple process! Beautiful cake!

    Kathy provided the most beautiful cake (as well as the cutest cupcakes!) for my wedding reception! We received a lot of compliments on the cake and it tasted absolutely delicious! She is professional, reasonably priced, and very collaborative! The whole process of choosing a cake from day one to receiving the cake on the reception day went very smoothly with no hiccups! My family and I would highly recommend her and we wish her nothing but the best for her future endeavors!

    Best Tasting Cake in Austin!

    Kathy did an AMAZING job with our cake. She was very sweet and really brought our vision to life. We got SO many compliments on our cake and it tasted DELICIOUS. She was also by far the most reasonable baker we talked to and was incredibly accommodating to our budget and our needs. I couldn't recommend Kathy more!

    If You Need A Cake THIS Is Your Lady!

    ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! If you need Affordable and Great tasting cake look no further! I was referenced to Kathy by my officiant and I was SO glad I was. Not only is her cake affordable, but it is absolutely DELICIOUS! The french vanilla cake with amaretto filling was to die for! I was lucky enough to be able to bring some home and it did not last long and I'm sure I've gained a little post wedding weight because of it! 😂 Worth it! Even my husband who "does not like cake" loved it!

    Delicious cake!

    Kathy was easy to work with and has a great selection to choose from! We had the French vanilla cake with strawberry jam and everyone loved it! We saved our top to freeze and eat on our one year anniversary and we can’t wait to have it again! She also has a great collection of photos of all of her cakes so you can get an idea of all that she can do!

    The most delicious cake ever.

    Kathy was SO NICE and did an absolutely fantastic job making our cake. The thing that really sets her cake apart from others is how flavorful and delicious both the icing and cake are. We got a cake with chocolate cake and Bailey's cream (YUM omg) and then vanilla with fresh raspberry filling. Both were INCREDIBLE and our guests were raving! We will for sure be going back to get a small cake for our 1 year anniversary.

    Tasty, affordable, beautiful

    Kathy is the sweetest person ever! She kindly fit in an appointment to accommodate us since we lived 3 hours away. During our visit, she showed us her portfolio and provided tastings which reassured us she was the best pick for our wedding cake/cupcakes. She was flexible in providing both options, since we aren’t enormous cake fans, which allowed us to choose a spice cake with cream cheese frosting and vanilla and chocolate cupcakes. When we saw it on the wedding day, the cake was absolutely gorgeous and it tasted even better! We recommend Kathy to everyone, including her affordable pricing options. You cannot go wrong with her!

    Kathy made our wedding cake and it was absolutely perfect! She was so great to work with too! We met with her, unsure of exactly what we wanted and she had several albums full of prior cakes she had made to give us ideas. We customized our cake from her samples and chose one of her many delicious flavors. On the wedding day, she delivered the cake and it looked beautiful and tasted even better! Some of our guests even went back for seconds, they liked it so much! Thank you Kathy!!

    Kathy made the most beautiful and delicious cakes for me and my husband. The groom's cake was devoured so quickly and the bride's cake only didn't go as fast because there was just so much of it! Kathy helped us design the perfect cakes to represent each of us and even accommodated a special request to make the groom's cake represent the Air Force for my husband. Both turned out so amazing!

    We absolutely loved our wedding cake and the grooms cake Kathy created for us! We met Kathy at a bridal expo and were loved her cake samples. They were our favorite of the whole show, so we were super excited when we learned how affordable she was. This was one of the areas we came in under budget thanks to Kathy. Our cakes we beautiful and our guests raved about how delicious they are. We would recommend Kathy to anyone!

    We hired Kathy fairly last minute after another baker fell through and could not be happier with the cake we got for our wedding. We ordered a simple but decorative three-tiered cake with a layer of the vanilla bean with buttercream frosting, a layer of red velvet with cream cheese frosting and a layer of carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. They were all amazing. We were so happy with how it turned out and Kathy was super sweet and easy to work with.

    After our venue, our cake provider was the first thing we booked. We went to the Austin Bridal Extravaganza and sampled cakes from probably a dozen different vendors. Kathy was the clear stand-out and immediate choice. Her cake is delicious, and not dried out like you sometimes get with wedding cakes. And she only uses buttercream frosting, not fondant, which was a must for us. She's super friendly and easy to work with, and has so many flavors of cake and filling to choose from that it was hard to narrow down. We ended up doing 2 different flavor combinations, and also renting a cake stand from her. She was very accommodating in changes made to the cake design, and the final result was beautiful (and delicious!). We chose to save/freeze our top layer, and very much look forward to again having some in a year!

    Cake tasting was definitely a day to look forward to in our daughter and son-in-law’s wedding planning journey. They had five appointments in one weekend, and Kathy’s cakes and pricing were by far the best quality. Even five days after the wedding, the left-overs taste as moist as they did the day the cake was served. And, all the details our daughter dreamed to make her cake special – different flavors for every layer, the lyrics to her wedding dance song written in icing, placing flowers on each layer – were done at no additional cost! These details were all an extra expense at other bakeries. Virtually any flavor we could imagine was among Kathy’s offerings, and it was hard to narrow our favorites down to the five we selected. Kathy was delightful to work with, and one of the few vendors who called us to confirm her delivery, rather than waiting for us to check in the week of the wedding. The next time I need a cake for a special occasion, I will go straight to Kathy – going anywhere else would be a waste of time and money.

    Kathy is wonderful. She is a lovely person and her cakes are absolutely the best tasting and the best value for money in Austin. Unlike a bakery where they have huge overheads to cover and therefore charge you more, Kathy keeps her overheads low by baking the cakes in her home. She made the wedding cake for our dear friends and for our wedding as well and all our guests kept complimenting us on how wonderful it was! It was also beautifully decorated, just as we had asked. I cannot recommend her enough.

    Kathy really delivered on our cakes. My wedding cake was just as I imagined. She got every detail on it down to the T. The flavor was amazing as well. The guests were raving about it days after our wedding!! The grooms cake was just as awesome. It was chocolate, chocolate, chocolate, which all appreciated. Both cakes were more than we could have ever dreamed of and we can't wait to eat our top layer, on our first anniversary!!

    We attended 3 Bridal Extravaganzas throughout 2 years and when it came closer to our wedding, we realized at the last Bridal show, the cake vendor we looked forward to the most was Kathy's cakes. They were so moist, and tasteful! So we set up a time and date to meet for a free consultation and decided then and there are minds were made up and we wanted Kathy's CAKE! On such short notice (about 2 months or less from the wedding we ordered) and she worked with us on getting it delivered, we chose a
    3 tier Round cake, Blush Pink Ombre Style, Served 125 people, white- vanilla cake, strawberry filling with a buttercream frosting. It was amazing! and Beautiful, our guests raved the entire Reception over the delicious cake! And it was competitively priced to outmatch any competition. We were quoted the exact cake for $800 elsewhere and their cake was not nearly as moist as Kathys. You cannot go wrong with any of her selections, they are all delicious. We cannot wait to open up our top piece for our anniversary. We will be returning to Kathy to order our special occasion cakes from Kathy for years to come and we will definitely be referring friends and family to her.
    Thank you Kathy!
