    Birthday cake

    I ordered a cake for my brother's b'day with bingo theme. I send her the picture of how I need the cake and it was exactly the same and do everything as I said . And I was planning to order white chocolate cake but they recommend me to try hazelnut mousse filling , nothing to say more. The cake was delicious. Everybody in my family likes it. Will order from you again mam. Thank you so much.

    Beautiful and Professional

    I have used Kathy's Kakes for birthdays and showers, so hiring her for a wedding was practically a no brainer. Selecting the cake was very easy, and she guided us through the whole process--we didn't even have to do a tasting. She was able to match the beautiful cake I had found on Pinterest, and even used real seashells.
    Delivery was on time and professional--she even suggested moving the location of the cake away from the buffet so that the frosting wouldn't melt, and she stayed the whole time to make sure that the cutting went well and that we got our topper back.
    Elaborate cakes are her specialty, so she is definitely someone to consider. The total cost also included the delivery fee, although the venue was not too far from the bakery. I highly recommend this baker.

    We ordered a Kake from Kathy's Kakes for our wedding and was more than pleased with the cake and the service. The flavor was on point, we did three different flavors and the design turned out to be amazing. I would recommend Kathy's Kakes to anyone.

    We had a contract with Kathy's Kreative Kakes with our venue and I am really glad we got them. Kathy gave us two cake tastings when we mentioned we wanted to try the summer flavors (yummy!) and basically took control of the decoration when I gave her minimal instructions for the cupcakes. She also responds to emails quickly and was willing to work with all my changes. It ended up really beautiful (and helpful for our allergy friends) and many of our friends and family complimented us on our cupcakes. I highly recommend them.

    Kathy, the owner, sat down with us for our tasting. She has a wide arrangement of cake designs and an incredible assortment of flavors. We ordered eight cakes from Kathy’s Kreative Kakes for our wedding. The menu and her grasp on flavor combinations was spot on! The cakes were delicious! AND they delivered to our venue! I would happily recommend Kathy’s for any activity or cake you can think up. She’s excited about baking and about combining flavors. If you aren’t sure, just go in and try some of her baked goods. They will change your mind right away.

    My cake was delicious! I had a simple white 2 tier cake with lemon poppyseed cake, lemon custard filling, iced with whipped cream and covered in fresh flowers. Perfect for my simple ceremony by the beach. Everyone loved it.

    Kathleen (of Kathy's Kreative Kakes) makes a delicious cake. And with crazy design ideas, she is the Queen! I went in with an idea of what I wanted, (three teired cake with dual color DNA strand plus a raised top tier with our monogram and a yellow gold/white gold set of rings standing up on the top.) again, picture would be nice to add.
    I couldn't find the center piece that I wanted anywhere. I told Kathleen and she said she would find a way to make it work. She told me that she worked with Tap Plastics, and would be able to find something. I said OK. sounded goood to me, she was easy to trust.
    The cake was perfect!! It was not until a week later that I realized the styrophome rings at the top were actually not plastic, but edible fondant! lol. Way to go Kathy!

    I am so glad I trusted her! her creativity knows no bounds. hehehe ask her about the biggest cake her predicessor Kathy made. haha, amazing story!

    Anyway, five stars across the board, Kathy's Kreative Kakes is well worth a visit!

    Most delicious wedding cake!

    I first experienced one of Kathy’s cakes when my fiancé got it for my birthday! It was delicious, moist, light, zesty, not too sweet, and had berries interspersed—just how I like it! We loved it so much that we decided to get the same cake for our Sonoma wedding! Kathy was a pleasure to work with and her prices are surprisingly very very affordable!! We are beyond thrilled with how it came out! Thank you so much Kathy!!!

    I used Kathy's Kreative Kake's for my wedding in March 2014.

    They have books and books full of previous cakes that they've made, and they can do all kinds of complicated, beautiful designs. But I just wanted a simple white buttercream frosting, three tier round cake. I chose the lemon filling flavor from their list of wedding flavors without even going through a tasting.

    I honestly haven't ever had good wedding cakes, so I wasn't expecting much. But I and all of my guests were blown away by the taste! And my husband and I spent the week after the wedding continuing to eat the top layer -- it was so delicious that we didn't want to put it in the freezer.

    Kathy was great about coordinating with my florist, since he placed the flowers on the cake (She even offered to do it herself).

    The only reason I rate them low for professionalism is that they don't have a POS system -- they make you write your CC information down on a piece of paper which opens you up to all kinds of potential fraud.

    We got married at the San Mateo Marriott and were refered to two places for wedding cakes. The first one was Copenhagen Bakery on Burlingame Avenue. The second was Kathy's Kreative Kakes in San Mateo. Copenhagen's cake was dry and when we went to speak to someone regarding what they can do, we were shoved a bunch of books and were told to look through and find what we liked. The lady that was "helping" us was also working the register and seemed to have a lot on her plate and no time for us. SO we sampled the cakes and left.
    When we went to Kathy's Kreative Kakes, we met with Kathleen (not Kathy the owner, but Kathleen) She was VERY attentive and went through ALL our options and asked us what we had invisioned as well as suggested some that she had based off our ideas. We made a second appointment and sketched out a rough draft of what we wanted the cake to look like. It was just what we envisioned. The cake was so moist, we were impressed with the quality. We just got the feeling that we were going to be well taken care of....and WE WERE!!!! Our cake was beautiful and delicious.
