    Kadi Bakes is the whole package!

    Kadi Bakes is the whole package. If you are looking for a wedding baker who will work with you on your creative vision, provide thoughtful and helpful feedback, AND whip up delectable treats that your guests will rave about - then HIRE HER today.

    Here’s the short story:
    She is such a sweet, kind-hearted human who pours love into everything she bakes. She is truly an artist. I’m so so grateful we found her on short notice. She made my wedding dessert dreams come true!

    Here’s the long story:

    I originally found her on a whim - we were about six weeks away from the wedding day - and I didn’t have a wedding cake or dessert option. I had thought I would source local Williamsburg bakeries and combine them into a dessert bar. What I didn’t know - is that the only way to do that is if you are personally setting it up - because (and this makes perfect sense, it just hadn’t occurred to me) if it’s from different places, due to liability, the venue staff can’t touch it. Only those who made the food can set it up (or you) to avoid cross-contamination. So when I found that out, I panicked - and sent messages out to all the available event bakers in Williamsburg - realizing that it would be much easier to have one person create, design, and manage the dessert buffet. Kadi was the first to respond via text within hours of me filling out the form. I had a very specific vision - I wanted the table to be filled to the brim with dessert options. But not just on trays - I wanted every space filled with fruit, greenery, and flowers that weren’t baked goods. Basically - a lush dessert grazing table. We went back and forth on who would supply the fruit, and at some point, we decided it would be easier not to do it.
    But then Kadi got inspired. She told me she would take it on - and man did she deliver. She went to 3 different grocery stores and hand-picked each piece. As you can see in the photos - my dessert bar looked like something out of a Dutch still-life painting. Absolutely stunning.

    Another thing Kadi did that was above and beyond was she allowed us to use the cake and specialty Italian pastries that the venue was providing us - and set them in amongst her design. I am so grateful she was willing to do that. Otherwise, I would have been up a creek.

    My guests are still complimenting us on Kadi’s creations- My guests’ favorites were the espresso chocolate chip cookies and the chocolate mousse shooters. My favorite was the lemon chiffon cupcake - light and delicate - just the perfect amount of lemon - not an ounce of artificial flavor.

    She was a key player in making our wedding day so special. I’m endlessly grateful she was a part of our vendor team.

    Great bakery!

    Kadi is a phenomenal baker to work with! After our previous baker closed her business she linked us up with Kadi and I am so glad she did! She went above and beyond for a couple she only worked with for a month and the cake turned out perfect for our wedding! If you are looking for a unique touch to your cake she is definitely the one to work with!

    Fantastic Baker

    Kadi created a stunning and tasty cake for my wedding. She also provided a variety of additional desserts - cupcakes, banana pudding shooters, sweet potato tarts, and brownies that our guests said were absolutely delicious! Kadi was easily accessible and greatly contributed to the wedding our dreams.

    Beautiful cake

    Our cake was beautiful. From conception to design, she helped to bring my idea to life. She even included our 3 fur babies!

    Showstopper!

    When it came to deciding on our wedding cake, we knew we wanted it to be magical. I have never understood why the wedding cake is something that is sometimes overlooked, or sold short, as it always has its focal moment and is constantly on display.
    We wanted our cake to be talked about and to be a focal point. Oh boy, Kadi did not disappoint! Not only was it visually beautiful, it also tasted absolutely amazing! It was a total win/win. The design consultation was a breeze. Kadi offered her expert opinions towards our vision and she created exactly what we had imagined and then some! The macrons were also a huge hit and were so pretty. Our gf guests were thrilled to have been treated also.
    Kadi is a joy to work with and a pleasure to know. Her work is flawless and she follows through with the flavour. I highly recommend her to anyone and know when we need our next cake, she will be the first person to call!

    Wedding Dreams Come True!

    Kadi was absolutely fantastic to work with from beginning to end! She has incredible cake and dessert bar options and seems to be able to make anything you can for. We chose a small 2 tier cake with 6 dessert bar items and could not have been more pleased. Everything was so delicious and we got so many compliments from our guests. Kadi really listened to what we wanted and delivered exactly what we asked for. She also provided gorgeous cake and dessert stands. I would recommend Kadi Bakes over and over!

    AMAZING wedding cake!

    We got married 2 weeks ago today and asked Kadi to make our wedding cake for us. We’d only seen pictures of her work and read her reviews but I can honestly say it was the best and easiest decision we made! It was BEAUTIFUL (exactly how I imagined it) and tasted amazing!! We did a semi naked cake and sent her some general pictures but she went above and beyond. With fresh fruit and all the colors we loved, it was perfect. Guests were talking about the cake for at least a week after. Thank you so much, Kadi! We’ll definitely be back for special events ;)

    Star of the show.

    The cake that Kadi made for us was so special and unique! It was exactly what I wanted and envisioned for our wedding cake. The attention to detail and customization went above and beyond, and everyone was raving about how amazing it was! Even my groom - who has underwhelming reactions to just about everything - was really excited to see the details Kadi put into our cake! I honestly can't say enough about it. It was so beautiful AND delicious. Thank you, Kadi!

    An Amazing Creative Professional

    Kadi and I have worked together on numerous shoots and weddings. Every time I work with her, she is prompt, professional, and extremely creative. Everything she makes is from scratch, and she can create everything from a modern painted cake to a traditional scroll finish. She is one of the most creative professionals I know, and you definitely will not go wrong choosing her to do your wedding cake and desserts.

    cactus cake made from plants

    Kadi had quite a task for our wedding. We needed two cakes, a special surprise Birthday cake for our close friend on the night of our wedding and our wedding cake. Each had to be very unique AND vegan. Kadi hit it out of the park. Every guest stated how moist and delicious the cake was and the attention to detail for our desert them was outstanding. Kadi can make you a beautiful cake without harming a single animal that tastes FANTASTIC! Plus she is lovely and kind and fun :)

    Completely custom and above expectations!

    During our first conversation I told Kadi we wanted to have cookies and something a bit outside of the box. From there she offered numerous creative ideas and suggestions and we found the perfect mix! Kadi created a cookie bar and cookie cake and was there at our wedding scooping ice cream sandwiches. It was such a great touch and each guest had their favorite item. Everything tasted great! Kadi was always thoughtful and accommodating and provided a great tasting from the start. The next morning we sat around with family eating leftover cookies, having coffee and talking about how perfect everything was the night before.

    Wonderful!!

    Kadi is wonderful! We wanted a smaller cake for our wedding and she nailed it. It was beautiful, delicious, and just the perfect size! Kadi also made our arrangement of desserts from cheesecake, brownies, mini cupcakes and banana pudding cups (which are SO delicious) the various desserts we had were a BIG hit. She makes delicious desserts, and displays them beautifully. We are so thankful to have had Kadi!

    Kadi at Kadi Bakes, was one of our vendors for the Connections for Weddings "A Salute to A Star Among Stars" Military Wedding Giveaway . She was very accommodating and super excited to create our wedding cake. She went above and beyond to get us tasting samples and was excited to explore our cake ideas. The cake was awesome and we so appreciate the generosity that was shown to us as a military couple. I would recommend Kadi Bakes if you’re looking for a wedding cake baker.

    Talent, Talent, Talent! I had a friend who use Kadi Bakes. The cake was outstanding. I knew that when my daughter was getting married that Kadi was the only choice for her special day. My daughter wanted Rustic and cupcakes. Kadi met with us and my daughter to create her dream cake! We are so blessed in the artistry of Kadi . We at the time did not have a floral person and Kadi gave us the name of lovely lady. If you want your daughter's dream cake then go with Kadi Bakes you will not be disappointed.

    Kadi was so kind and patient working with me. Her works speaks for itself but just to give you an idea of what my experience was like... I didn't really have an idea of what I wanted other than a cake and macarons somehow incorporated with it. It's like she knew what I wanted before I did because what she made was beyond what I could have ever imagined or asked for! The cake was truly stunning and perfect in my eyes!! I got so many compliments on not only the look of the cake but the taste of it too. Kadi is so nice even when I was making changes to the size and number of the order a week before the wedding!

    I attended a wedding show in Williamsburg, VA where Kadi Bakes had a beautiful and incredibly delicious display. We contracted with Kadi to make a Pittsburg Penguin Groom's Cake for the Rehearsal Dinner on Friday, and the Wedding Cake and a Dessert Display for Saturday.
    At the Rehearsal Dinner, the groom and his father (neither are big on sweets) both loved the cake, and ate every bite of it! At the wedding, guests came up to me throughout the evening complementing and raving about the beautiful cake and the delicious dessert items. I fully expected to have some cupcakes, macrons and brownies to take home, but they were so good, there weren't any left overs. My advice: put aside a few treats for yourself early on, you'll be glad you did :-)

    Kadi is the best! Not only is she incredibly talented as a baker, but she is sincerely caring and wants to help make your event as special as possible. We hired her for our wedding, where she made a one-tiered cutting cake and 8 dozen cupcakes in all different flavors. Our cake table was more gorgeous than I could have envisioned. We received compliments all day on both how beautiful it looked and how delicious it was. I'm not a cake person, but I cannot get over how delicious her cake is (especially the lemon). Additionally, even after she was done setting up the cake table, she stuck around and helped out all the other vendors without hesitation. I looked over at one point and she was up on a ladder perfecting the ceremony garland! I wholeheartedly recommend Kadi for any and all of your dessert needs

    Kadi was spectacular, easy to work with, highly recommend. Kadi wants the customer to be happy and does everything to make sure you are. I planned this wedding from out of state, Kadi was available to answer all my questions, guided me through decisions, even going out of her way to meet up with us only when I was going to be in town. My daughter wanted some specific things that meant a lot to her and her husband and Kadi was right on board making their day spectacular. A true fairly tale wedding.

    Kadi's cakes are soooooooo good. I cannot even begin to describe how amazing they taste. My wife and I recently got married and decided to have cupcakes for our guests and a mini cake all to ourselves and suffice it say we've been eating the leftover cake and cupcakes every day since. We can't get enough! You definitely won't be disappointed!!

    Kadi is amazing!! We used her for our engagement party, bridal shower, and wedding. We provided little direction for what we wanted for our engagement party cake and she created such a delicious, beautiful sheet cake. I've never seen an entire cake be eaten in one night, everyone was raving about it! For my bridal shower she made cupcakes that were to die for! For our wedding, she made a 3 tiered cake and I had just sent her a Pinterest post of a cake and she replicated it perfectly. The wedding cake was stunning!

    Kadi is very responsive in all communications and just a pleasure to work with! I'd highly recommend using her for any type of event :)

    What is there to say about Kadi Bakes???? Kadi is the ULTIMATE!!!! The 168 cupcakes and two tiered cake was the most scrumptious cake I've ever tasted. We chose different flavors of cupcakes but it seemed like our guest loved the Orange flavored cupcakes the most! I would give Kadi Bakes 10 stars if I could!!!
