Tara was amazing from the get-go. We had a specific design that my (now) husband created and she brought it to life, it was everything and more than we imagined. She was open and excited for a new challenge. Speaking on the cake itself, i'm not lying when I say this was the best cake i've had, ever...and I use to work in a bakery. The flavors were amazing - we chose a white chocolate mud layer and chocolate layer, both with strawberry buttercream, which was bursting with *real* strawberry flavor. It was truly amazing! She offers tasting boxes every so often (follow her on Instagram for details), a great way to decide which flavors to go with. We ended up mixing and matching our flavors, which she was open to. Honestly, 10 stars, highly, highly recommend her! I can't wait to order a cake for our anniversary each year! -

Look no further!
Tara was wonderful from start to finish! We found her looking on Instagram and couldn’t be happier! We picked up a classic tasting box from her home and then decided on a naked, 2 tiered cake and some mini cupcakes. There was an easy to follow order form and she is super responsive to any questions. I really wanted our dog to be a part of the cake, but also wanted to incorporate our favorite hockey team since we had a hockey theme though out our big day and she made both happen! She helped guide me on what size figurine to order (from Etsy) based on the size of the cakes and everything turned out perfectly. She delivered the cake to our venue and added the figurine and florals left by our florist and that was that! So easy and hassle free. We actually forgot to put out the mini cupcakes so my husband and I got to enjoy them with close family at the end of the night. :) I highly recommend going through Tara, once you’ve booked with her, it’s truly one less stressor off your list! -

Beautiful, delicious, and reasonably priced cakes! 10/10
If you are looking for a cake, run to Tara before she books up!! Tara was absolutely wonderful to work with! Everything about my experience with her was 10/10.
When I first started looking at cakes I was extremely defeated by how much it was going to cost but then I found Tara. I went into my conversation expecting I’d have to cut some layers or other areas I wanted. When talking to her about my vision she gave me feedback on more cost effective ways to go about things so we could still achieve what I wanted. I felt like she truly wanted to help me with my vision, even if that meant less money for her. When I saw the cake at the wedding it was EXACTLY what I had envisioned and all for 1/3 of the price I was being quoted at some other cake shops that were being promoted in the wedding magazines in Sacramento.
Not only are her cakes reasonably priced and beautiful but they are also extremely delicious. I had multiple people come up to me at my wedding and even reach out to me afterwards about where I got the cake because it was so good. I had multiple people even tell me it was the best cake they had ever had at a wedding! I got the chocolate, vanilla, and funfetti flavors (but she has many more delicious ones as well)! I would 10000% recommend Tara to anyone looking for a cake. -

Amazing experience beginning to end with Tara. I contacted her very last minute before our wedding because our previous baker fell through unexpectedly. She was so accommodating and took our cake orders. Due to it being so close to our wedding date (2 weeks) I was unable to do a tasting before hand. I didn’t see the cakes until our reception on our wedding day and she did not disappoint whatsoever! The cakes were so well made! Tasted so delicious! We had our wedding cake and a smash cake for our daughter who shared her 1st birthday with our wedding day. I am so grateful that she made us the most beautiful cakes, especially on such short notice. 10/10 recommended!! -

Amazing!!!
Tara is super nice and very responsive. I found her on Instagram while I was looking at cake ideas for my wedding and when I emailed her I was so happy that she quickly responded and she also was having her cake sampler requests. From the moment I tried her samplers I knew I wanted to book with her right away! Her cakes are literally amazing and the icing is perfect! I definitely recommend the champagne cake with strawberry buttercream and classic vanilla frosting. Aside from how good the cake was, she really executed my wedding cake vision. I’m honestly so glad I booked with her to make my wedding cake. Thank you Tara you’re amazing!! 10/10 would definitely recommend! -

From beginning to end, our experience working with Tara was excellent! Her cake tasting boxes were delicious, and such a fun experience for my husband and I to enjoy before our wedding day. We chose a champagne cake, with strawberry preserve, and a whipped buttercream. YUM! She took our vision, and executed it perfectly! Coordinating our wedding details with her and drop-off was quick and seamless. She is professional, kind, and talented! Her passion for baking does not go unnoticed. We will continue to support her, and use her for future events! Highly recommend Custom Cakes by Tara! -

Amazing cake and service
Tara was amazing to work with. After requesting cake tastings from a few different bakers, we ultimately ended up going with Tara. Her process of ordering was easy as we simply gave her a picture of a previous design that she made with the flavors we desired. The day of our wedding, Tara delivered our cake on time and exactly how we envisioned it. The cake was amazing in appearance and taste. Our guests gave many complements with my wife and I being excited to have some left over for the next day. Thank you Tara for everything. I highly recommended. -

Tara was such a joy to work with - from cake tasting, to last minute additions of cupcakes. She was able to arrive after the ceremony, and set up our cake and cupcakes without a hitch! Not only that - the cake and cupcakes were the best we have ever had! You won't be dissappointed!
