    We couldn’t have been happier!

    Renae was so easy to work with, listened to exactly what we wanted and made the most beautiful and delicious cake and variety of cupcakes for our wedding! The are a lot of design and flavor options and she definitely delivered on all of our choices!

    Custom Cakes's reply:

    Thank you for supporting small business and I'm delighted everyone loved the flavors you selected. It is important to me to pair flavors together that bride and groom like and guests enjoy too. Cheers to you both. Renae

    Delicious and beautiful wedding cake!

    Renae is an artist! Not only does she design beautiful cakes, but they are delicious!!! My husband and I went wedding cake tasting at 5 different bakeries and as soon as we tried Custom Cakes we knew we had found our baker! Not only did Renae welcome us into her home and was prepared with several different cake flavors, frostings and fillings, but she was confident in her skills to deliver the cake I envisioned for my wedding. I found an inspiration picture on Pinterest, showed it to her and she throughly discussed what she would use and how she would recreate the same cake for our special day! And boy did she surpass our expectations! One of the things I was most excited to see (and taste!) at our wedding was our cake and I LOVED it! I felt a little bad cutting into it because it looked soooo pretty! 😂😅😍 We love her cakes so much we have gone back to her twice after for special occasions to buy more! If you want delicious, fresh, beautiful cakes, Renae is your gal! Also, she’s pretty awesome herself! 💓👍🏼👍🏼☺️

    Beautiful & Delicious

    After enjoying Custom Cakes NW at earlier wedding, we knew Renae's cake was the perfect choice for our son's wedding too. Moist cake in various flavors provided our guests a selection of delectable dessert and brought some back for seconds! Custom Cakes NW is the perfect choice for all your cake needs - big or small.

    Easy, simple, and got exactly what we asked for!

    Was such an easy experience from start to finish and ended up with a beautiful wedding cake! Always responded to my emails in a timely matter which when planning a wedding is super important. Appreciated her thorough notes so that we didn't miss a step in getting to the wedding day and eating our delicious cake! Great experience!

    Custom Cakes's reply:

    I could not have made your cake what it was without your contribution of fresh-of-the-vine Marionberries from your family farm. Thanks for the review and until next cake, Cheers to you!

    Book Custom Cakes!!!

    Hands down the best decision for our cake! Renae is amazing and so many people have asked where we got the cake from. The chocolate stout and Pinot raspberry noir cake were a huge hit. She’s going to be my go to for all special event cakes!

    Custom Cakes's reply:

    I'm blushing! Thanks for the review Sondra! I just make the suggestions for flavors, you choose them. So glad the cake flavors were enjoyed by everyone! I look forward to making all your special occasions a little sweeter and thanks for choosing Custom Cakes NW!

    Wedding Cake/Cupcakes

    Renae was very kind and her cakes were amazing! Everyone loved them and went back for seconds. The flowers on the cupcakes and our wedding cake was beautiful. She even volunteered to come set up later in the day to preserve the cupcakes. I will definitely be ordering from her again!

    The Ideal Wedding Cake Experience

    Renae was attentive, easy to work with, and very accommodating to our needs throughout the whole process. Equally as important: her cakes are amazing. We requested two different cake flavors for our wedding -- they were both so popular, there was no cake left at the end of the night! Our guests raved. Jaime's wedding dress featured a unique lace pattern, which Renae was able to recreate on the design of the cake. We will definitely be going back to Renae with any future cake-related needs!

    Wonderful Experience and would work with Custom Cakes in the future for sure for all types of events. Our wedding cake ended up being exactly what I asked for and more. The detail was amazing. The extra sheet cake and the cheesecake were just as wonderful. Highly recommend.

    Renae is amazing and created the perfect cake for our wedding based on our discussion and inspiration photos I shared. The cake tasted amazing, even the left overs were amazing three days later!! We also ordered macaron's that my guests ate before dinner was served! Everything was amazing. I highly recommend Custom Cakes for your event!!

    Renae with Custom Cakes was an absolute joy to work with! From the beginning, she was quick to respond and always did so with professionalism. We decided to do centerpiece cakes and she was so willing to work with us to find the most perfect flavor combinations and even gave some expert advice that made the cakes that much cuter! She can also do gluten free if there are any other brides out there that need that too. And after the wedding, all my guests were RAVING about her flavors and how good the cake was! Trust me, you can't go wrong with Renae!

    Renee is a very kind woman who truly has a passion for what she does. I remembered her cake from a friend's wedding several years ago (yes, it is that memorable!) and from that moment, I knew she would be making my wedding cake! Her cakes are absolutely delicious, she listens to what you want, and delivers on all fronts! To me, the delivery fee was totally worth it (she is in Newberg and our reception was in SE Portland). Our cake was absolutely beautiful and our guests raved about the flavors and how good it was. Several people asked where we got our cake from. I will be coming back to Renee to make our 1 year celebration cake for sure!

    Renae had such a fantastic variety of flavors reflective of the Oregon wine region. She was very available anytime I had questions. The cake was divine. Pinot noir was my favorite!

    I called the day before the event after searching online for a bakery for my sons 21st Birthday cake. I'm here visiting from California to see him play football at Linfield and have a surprise party planned. He usually likes ice cream cakes but there isn't a Baskin Robbins in McMinnville. Being a small town, I searched and found Custom Cakes and Renae did my a huge favor by taking my order. Since she was delivering a wedding cake to McMinnville on Saturday already, she's bringing the cake and delivering it to the restaurant I'm having the party at. It will be delivered while I'm st the game. It's a win-win for me, thanks again Renae for going over and beyond!!!

    The chocolate stout Wedding cake was perfect. I wish I would have got to try my caramel cupcakes I ordered, Everyone said they were great! 2 days before my wedding I called with a request to make my daughter a small graduation cake as she graduated and passed her boards to become an RN days before. It was beautiful! She loved it! Thank you for making my day and her day amazing!

    I used Custom Cakes for my wedding cake and Renae was amazing to work with. I didn't know the first thing about choosing a cake and she walked me through all the options. She was very flexible when I requested a larger cake shortly before the wedding as well. It turned out perfectly and was exactly what I ordered. Not only did it look beautiful but it tasted amazing too! I look forward to working with her again the next time I need a high quality cake!

    Our wedding cake was moist, delicious and beautiful. I was unsure of what flavor to do so we followed her recommendation and it was a huge hit. Everyone went back for seconds...thirds...and wanted to know who made it. We will always get our anniversary cakes from here, vanilla with a cream marion berry filling and vanilla butter cream frosting.

    Renae worked with me on such short notice and was able to get some cupcakes done for me--even after some coordinated efforts for me to pick them up despite being caught in horrible traffic after flying in to the area, Renae was flexible and worked with me. They turned out amazing, given that I had given a very general color scheme to work with, but so elegant and simple for the bachelorette party I was planning! I got so many compliments on how great these tasted at the event, especially her frosting that was so different from typical store bought...! They made our evening!!

    The 50th anniversary cake and cake truffles were beautiful and delicious. Our guests asked us where we had ordered them from, that they hadn't tasted desserts this good. Thanks for making the gold cake design unique and special to us. The chocolate stout cake and vanilla with blackberry mousse were the outstanding favorites and none was left. We will be calling you again for birthday cakes.
