Outstanding Cakes!
My husband and I sampled quite a few cakes from different vendors and Nancy was by far the best! Not only were they absolutely delicious, but she also made it to be such a fun experience for the two of us! We got to choose our top cake flavors and fillings and how she sets up the take-home testing allows you to mix and match! It was such a fun evening getting to try different flavor combinations to determine what we wanted for our big day. We got a two-tiered wedding cake and then cupcakes as well! Boy, were they a hit with our friends and family! Everyone was coming up to us saying how tasty the cupcakes were. I highly recommend going with Nancy for any and all cake needs! She's so personable and eager to make sure your cake dreams come true and that was certainly the case for us. We can't wait to dive into our wedding anniversary cake when the time comes!My husband and I sampled quite a few cakes from different vendors and Nancy was by far the best!

Best Desserts in KC!
Nancy will be our go to baker for all events going forward! Her cake and desserts were easily the best we tasted. Our guests loved them too as we had no leftovers! She also perfectly executed our vision and was sweet enough to include a free anniversary cake tier. She was very patient when we changed our mind on our cake design and always responded quickly to our messages. Her prices were also very reasonable for the amazing service she provides! We cannot recommend Nancy enough!Nancy will be our go to baker for all events going forward! Her cake and desserts were easily the best we tasted. Our guests loved them too as we had no leftovers!

Superb - highly recommend Chef Stark
Chef Stark was one of the best vendors we worked with for our wedding--responsive, flexible, friendly, reasonably priced, professional from first to last, and (not least) a superbly talented pastry chef! We favored a dessert bar with a dozen different treats rather than a wedding cake, and she offered several tantalizing options to choose among, from tarts and cookies to cupcakes and mignardises, including some Gluten Free options. All were delicious, without exception. She was prompt with delivery, communicative at all stages, and a breeze to work with. Her policy on COVID delays was compassionate, her advanced tasting was generous and also reasonable, and her end-products were fantastic. My wife and I cannot endorse her strongly enough.

11/10 reccomend!
Nancy might just make the best tasting cake in all of KCMO. When we started cake tasting over a year ago, we weren't that serious about it, just wanting to have fun and soak it all up. When we picked up our cake tasting box from Nancy, we knew immediately she would be making our cake. Choosing the frosting and cake flavor was so hard because EVERY.SINGLE.FLAVOR. was insanely delicious. We landed on white cake with cream cheese frosting. From the inside out, our cake was beautiful. It was also the most fresh tasting cake I have ever had in my life. I can't tell you how many people came up to us to tell us it was the best wedding cake they have ever had. She also made my grooms cake vision come true. It was a stack of pancakes and when I say people thought it was actual pancakes, I mean it. My niece kept trying to eat the "blueberries" on top:) Hats off to Nancy. She was a part of what made our dream wedding come true. You will not be disappointed. We will be going back each year for our anniversary(because we already ate the top tier!!) for sure but I am positive she will see us more than that. From the bottoms of our hearts, thank you Chef Stark.

I wish i could give her 10 stars!
Nancy was recommended to us during our planning process over a year ago. We were ahead of schedule in terms of choosing a cake vendor but she was willing to be flexible with our schedule and offer a cake tasting. I loved that we were able to choose multiple cake flavors and icings to try at the tasting. She even allowed us to bring our parents along to try her cakes, which other vendors did not. At the tasting she did not pressure us to make any decisions and really allowed us to mix and match all of the flavors and icings. She even had my dad's approval, which is hard to come by! We chose Nancy because she was genuine, willing to draw our cake design on the spot, and her cakes tasted ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! We all left the tasting feeling good about her being our cake vendor. Her cake was the most anticipated thing about our wedding! A few months before the wedding, I changed the design of our cake. She was patient with us as we wanted the 5-tier cake to have flowers in between each tier. She truly listened to our request for the design and worked with our floral vendor Hitched. On the day of the wedding, I couldn't have been more happy with how the cake turned out. It was better than I imagined and she really made the cake of my dreams. Guests were in awe of the design and how awesome it tasted. We purchased personalized cake boxes for guests to take slices home. However, I'm happy to report that they were not used because there wasn't a single slice left! Nancy truly knocked it out of the park with her professionalism, design, and expertise!Nancy was recommended to us during our planning process over a year ago.

The best! I have celiac (I’m seriously allergic to gluten), and am low key obsessed with baking. So when it came to my wedding cake, I wanted a gluten free cake that had a great flavor, texture, and design…which seemed impossible to find until my florist told me about Nancy. She was great to work with. She was responsive to all my requests and questions about my allergen, set up a cake tasting that was a highlight of our wedding planning, and delivered a gorgeous, sinfully delicious cake (not to mention blueberry and key lime tarts that I still dream about). My guests (who regularly eat gluten) were blown away that all of my desserts were free of gluten, and they ate every last crumb.The best!

Nancy at Chef Shop Stark was truly a pleasure to work with from beginning to end for our October 14th wedding. From the cake tasting, design process, pricing, delivery and presentation, she exceeded our expectations. The wedding day activities had me busy at the venue. We came by the cake table and saw that she had delivered the cake and cut and arranged the loose flowers I'd left for her. I only provided one picture of what we hoped for and it was just what we'd discussed and more. Though we ordered enough for our guest count, we actually ran out of cake because so many had seconds! It was not only beautiful but delicious. No one seems to remember the cake at weddings, but we are still hearing from our guests how great it was. Nancy, thanks again for helping to make this part of our special day perfect.Nancy at Chef Shop Stark was truly a pleasure to work with from beginning to end for our October 14th wedding.

Nancy is the best! She made hundreds of individual pies for us in a variety of delicious flavors. They looked amazing and tasted even better, and our guests raved about them. Nancy also made us a small cutting cake and kitchen cake for us, which were also terrific. She was easy to work with, very accommodating and very reasonably priced. We could not have been happier with the desserts at our wedding, thanks to Nancy.Nancy is the best! She made hundreds of individual pies for us in a variety of delicious flavors.

Nancy Stark has the best desserts in Kansas City. We did a small cutting cake and small treats, and everything tasted fantastic! We had a great time doing a consultation with her, and she worked with me on a request for a fruit filling for our cake. It was so delicious. She had recommendations on flavors and other small treats that I was on the fence about, but turned out perfectly!Nancy Stark has the best desserts in Kansas City.

Nancy is amazing!! She created a fun fiesta inspired four tier cake with bright summer colors for my June wedding. The cake was gorgeous and I couldn't keep track of all the amazing compliments I received. The cake not only looked wonderful, but tasted amazing. We had three different flavors: strawberry cake with cream cheese filling, lemon cake with strawberry filling and white cake with white chocolate filling. It was really hard not to choose every flavor we tired, because they were all delicious. Nancy was so easy to work with. She delivered the cake and set it up beautifully. She really does have a talent for making amazing cakes and has a design for everyone's theme.

Nancy makes the best wedding cakes we’ve ever tasted! We had three different cakes, each decorated differently and beautifully. Nancy also made awesome macarons for our gluten free guests. Everything was delicious and looked so beautiful. Nancy is such a lovely person and we really enjoyed meeting her and are grateful for her talent and unique ideas. Our guests raved about the desserts and we couldn’t recommend Nancy highly enough.Nancy makes the best wedding cakes we’ve ever tasted!

Nancy is excellent at her craft. We threw her some ideas that were out of the norm, and she embraced them, delivering beyond what I could have imagined! In addition to her artistry, her icings, fillings and cake are absolutely delicious! The tasting was a lot of fun because she allowed us to mix and match in bite size samples, but it made the flavor decision SO much harder because everything we tried was so amazing. Nancy was responsive to emails, flexible with requests, and, in my opinion, underpriced for the quality of cake and service that we received. She had the display set up on time and exactly as discussed. She was also willing to pick up the cake stands so that my family did not have to worry about returning them. I highly recommend Nancy for your event, whether it be a wedding, birthday, or other special event!Nancy is excellent at her craft.

Nancy Stark’s cakes are flawless. For our wedding, we ordered a five-layer cake with her signature buttercream frosting and had layers of white, chocolate, and Italian flavors to give our guests options. They devoured the entire thing! The flavors were balanced, the consistency was perfect, and each layer had just the right amount of frosting. The cake was also gorgeous; she channeled the earthy, elegant look we had wanted and decorated the layers with simple olive leaves and a wood/bark cake stand. We made sure it was the first thing guests saw at the center of the room when they walked in. The quality of her work is unparalleled!Nancy Stark’s cakes are flawless.

Nancy Stark is a cake artist! We tried a lot of cake… I mean A LOT of cake while trying to make the decision for our wedding. Nancy’s wedding cake was extremely well made, beautifully designed, absolutely delicious and twice the quality of all the other (exorbitantly priced) cake designers in KC. If you are lucky enough to work with her, DO IT! We have been to so many weddings where the cake was obviously an overpriced afterthought. Nancy’s cake was one of the highlights of our menu!Nancy Stark is a cake artist! We tried a lot of cake… I mean A LOT of cake while trying to make the decision for our wedding.

Chef Stark was great to work with and we ended up with unique, delicious, BEAUTIFUL cakes! She saw our vision immediately during our tasting (a fun morning) and helped us decide on a variety of smaller cakes rather than the traditional single tiered cake. She was also extremely responsive and accommodating. I knew the cakes would be delicious but I was blown away at their beauty when they arrived on our wedding day - I wish Wedding Wire would let you post pictures! Our selection included traditional white, almond with raspberry mousse, lemon, rum cake, and carrot cake - not your usual line up and our guests loved it! People always say you have a lot of cake left over - we had NONE. If you want your cakes to stand out in both appearance and flavor look no further!Chef Stark was great to work with and we ended up with unique, delicious, BEAUTIFUL cakes!

W.O.W. I am so impressed by Nancy Stark. She is a hidden gem! We got our first impression of Nancy when we visited her cute little chef's kitchen off the side of her house for our cake tasting. Many cake places will make you choose around 3 flavors to taste - she let us choose... oh, wow, I lost count... around 8 cake flavors, and the same number of frosting types too. And then she sent us home with the leftovers. We fell in love with so many flavors. She let us do a different flavor for each tier so we chose 1) Chocolate on chocolate, 2) White cake with raspberry and 3) (my personal favorite) Italian cream cake. I described to Nancy the style of cake I was drawn to and she made it a reality! I had a white-to-pink ombre cake with texture on the buttercream. A few months after selecting Nancy as our cake person, I had an idea to add a little something personal to the cake as a surprise to my husband - a little "golden snitch" from Harry Potter. I reached out to Nancy just to float the idea of making edible "snitches," and she jumped right on board (for a very minimal additional fee - almost not even worth mentioning). When I saw them in person they were PERFECT. They were so ornate and crafted perfectly. She obviously did her research because they looked just like they look in the movies. And the one thing I didn't even mention yet about Nancy is how affordable she was. I got away with a steal! Nancy was a pleasure to work with and made my day absolutely special. I can't thank her enough!W.O.W. I am so impressed by Nancy Stark. She is a hidden gem! We got our first impression of Nancy when we visited her cute little chef's kitchen off the side of her house for our cake tasting. Many cake places will make you choose around 3 flavors to taste - she let us choose... oh, wow, I lost count... around 8 cake flavors, and the same number of frosting types too. And then she sent us home with the leftovers. We fell in love with so many flavors. She let us do a different flavor for each tier so we chose 1) Chocolate on chocolate, 2) White cake with raspberry and 3) (my personal favorite) Italian cream cake. I described to Nancy the style of cake I was drawn to and she made it a reality! I had a white-to-pink ombre cake with texture on the buttercream. A few months after selecting Nancy as our cake person, I had an idea to add a little something personal to the cake as a surprise to my husband - a little "golden snitch" from Harry Potter.

“Gorgeous, delicious, best carrot cake I’ve ever had!” These were all comments I heard from our wedding guests about our cake. I absolutely loved how our cake turned out and it was exactly what I had always envisioned! It was simple yet SO beautiful, elegant, and classic! For our design we had a Dotted Swiss texture, ribbons, flowers provided by our florist, and a cake topper. The result was an elegant and timeless design, I couldn’t stop looking at it! At our initial meeting and cake testing, Nancy provided several flavors to choose from and all of them were excellent! She was great about listening to my ideas and she offered her expertise on how she would make it happen. She even did a mock-up drawing of the cake right there so I could get a visual of what all the details would look like together. For our wedding, my husband and I decided on a combination of white cake and carrot cake and it was fabulous, absolutely amazing! I loved working with Nancy and would recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone looking for a wedding cake designer. After our initial meeting and all of our email exchanges in the months leading up to our wedding day, I had no doubt that she would make us an incredible cake that was both delicious and beautiful, and she did! Thank you for everything Nancy!!!

Chef Nancy Stark did the wedding cake for our wedding. We wanted something that tasted good, was simple, but still pleasing to the eye; and Nancy created exactly that. The flavors she has are just absolutely delicious. She actively listens to what you want and will create a mock up drawing of the cake right in front of you before you leave the cake tasting. I have already recommended her to some of my other girl friends getting married and they have had nothing but the best experience with her. And I might add, HER PRICES ARE THE BEST I HAVE FOUND IN THE KC METRO AREA FOR A WEDDING CAKE!!! It was a no brainer once I found her!Chef Nancy Stark did the wedding cake for our wedding.

We used chef Nancy Stark to provide the wedding cakes and desserts for our wedding in September 2014 in KC MO.
Cake
Our biggest priority was to have delicious cake. We just wanted a simple wedding cake that looks nice in pictures but wasn't too over-the-top or extravagant. For our budget, we wanted to spend the majority of our money on taste and Nancy Stark delivered in spades!
Nancy Stark pretty much accommodated every request we had, even when we decided to have 3 cakes (red velvet with cream cheese frosting, hazelnut with espresso frosting, and coconut cake with french-style vanilla buttercream) as well as, obviously, a smallish tiered wedding cake. My wife and I tried a selection of cakes at her workshop and decided on the 3 we liked best. They were all delicious so we really had a hard time deciding. Unfortunately for us, the cakes were so popular at our reception and we were so busy greeting people that we weren't able to have any on our wedding night. sad story.
Sweets Table
We also wanted to have a table full of bite-sized sweets for our guests to take home as party favors. I won't list everything we had bc I have a limited amt of characters, but they were all amazing (esp the key lime pie) and they were gone by 9pm (reception started at 7pm). We didn't get to eat any of these either. really sad.
The night of the wedding, the morning after and pretty much anytime we've talked to our guests about the wedding, people bring up the cake and the desserts and how amazing they all were.
bottom line: delicious, responsive, affordable. If I ever need desserts in the KC area, I wouldn't hesitate to contact Nancy Stark again. Here's her website: www.chefshopstark.com. It's not the best website but let me assure that although Nancy isn't the most technically adept person, she is a wonderful chef who is clearly dedicated to her craft and pleasing her customers.We used chef Nancy Stark to provide the wedding cakes and desserts for our wedding in September 2014 in KC MO.

Chef Nancy Stark provided our beautiful cake and delicious mini-dessert options at the wedding. I would highly recommend scheduling a cake tasting, as it was immediately evident by the quality of her desserts that she would be our final pick. Very easy to work with and excellent communication. Very cute workshop as well, and I liked that she also had a background in design. Thank you Nancy!Chef Nancy Stark provided our beautiful cake and delicious mini-dessert options at the wedding.
