Patty was so great to work with! My now husband and I decided to do cupcakes with a small single-tier cake for ourselves. Patty walked us through everything, including the recommended number of cupcakes needed for our guest count. I never got the pleasure of meeting her in person, but my day of coordinator was beyond pleased with everything. Including that the cupcakes looked so amazing she was drooling! I gave permission for her to steal one, and the next message I received was "money VERY well spent!!!!". This was the sentiment shared by quite literally everyone, including us! Patty, everything looked and tasted AMAZING! If you ever come to the Chicago area, PLEASE bring cupcakes! Thank you for everything!!!!!! -

I really don’t think anything I say will do Patrice justice, but I’ll try!
Patrice is absolutely incredible. We opted to go with a dessert bar and very single thing we ordered was decadent! Our wedding cake was delicious and perfect, and people we went CRAZY over her oatmeal cream pies!
Patrice makes the planning process SO easy! I planned my wedding from afar and she was excellent to work with even with a 6 hour time difference. She guided me to choose an appropriate amount of items tailored to my wedding size and helped by making great suggestions. We did meet in person for a cake tasting (which were the most delicious cakes I’ve ever had, it is SO hard to choose from all her incredible flavors!) but for the rest of the planning we met virtually and planning was flawless.
On the day of the wedding she came exactly on time and set up my dessert bar beautifully, and let me know where all the extra were stored so we could refill the display or take things home. She also put together special bride and groom boxes to ensure my husband and I would get a chance to have one of everything! Patrice is one of the warmest and nicest people I’ve ever met and I’m so happy we decided to have her bake for our wedding! My entire guest list couldn’t believe how good every single dessert was!
The prices were also very affordable! We had about 65 people and paid about $1200 (for everything!), we had WAY TOO MUCH (the pictures I posted don’t show the boxes and boxes of extras), because I didn’t listen to Patrice and I over ordered, bottom line - listen to Patrice and her suggestions/guidance she will not steer you wrong! On the bright side, I was able to send folks home with delicious desserts and we got to enjoy them for days after the wedding :) -

Kendall B. Sent on 11/16/2023BEST Cake by the BEST Person!
By far the best wedding cake that you will ever taste in your life, created by one of the best people you will ever meet. Patrice is pure joy, compassion, and magic. As someone who is obsessed with dessert, the wedding cake was high on our priority list. When we tasted a Patty Bakes cake – we knew there was no going back. She was the one. She was invested in every stage of our process – ensuring that we were able to taste everything, talking through our vision, and even incorporating our cat into the wedding cake! By the end of our first conversation, I felt like I knew her all my life, and I knew we were in good hands. We trusted her to create a cake that aligned with our wedding vision, and when we saw it for the first time, I got weak in the knees. She captured our personality into a wedding cake. We did not think that was possible. Our guests raved about the cake all night (Chocolate Sea Salt Caramel, Banana Nutella, and Mint Chocolate Chip). To be fair, they’re still raving about it…Thank you SOOO much for going above and beyond to make our wedding beautiful! We love you!! -

Look no further- she’s the best of the best
Patrice is the best. Hands down. Not only is Patrice an amazingly caring and wonderful person, her cakes and desserts are beautiful and delicious. A true talent. Every single person from our wedding stopped me to rave about all of the desserts. Our cake was gorgeous, exactly what we wanted, and tasted AMAZING! If you are doing a dessert table- do not pass up the s’mores treats and the oatmeal cream pies. Patrice also made custom cookies for our rehearsal, she went above and beyond to help me surprise my husband with walleye shaped cookies. Once again, not only were they beautiful, they were so delicious that my mom wants to order them just to have some more. If I could give PattyBakes a review with endless stars I would. -

5 stars isn't enough!
I cannot even begin to describe how amazing our wedding cake was. It was easily one of my favorite details of our wedding. It tasted just as incredible as it looked. Patrice's flavors are the best I have had. Our guests raved about our cake and everyone was eating leftovers at breakfast the next morning! She took my inspiration of a "hand-painted" floral buttercream cake that matched the flowers on my bouquet and made it even better than I imagined. She is extremely detail-oriented, responsive, and organized. We had a call prior to the wedding discussing what I wanted and she created an inspo board and hand-drawn design of the cake for me to have an idea of what it would look like, going above and beyond anything I ever expected! She is also extremely kind and sweet. Couldn't have asked for a better experience! Thank you Patrice! -

Ashley G. Sent on 07/14/2023our cake was truly a masterpiece
I can't say enough about how much we loved our cake! Our cake was ocean inspired and not only was it gorgeous...it was also beyond delicious!! We went with 2 flavors (the sea the sea and honey bun) and several guests even tried both flavors. Patrice is also the sweetest and was truly amazing to work with from the cake tasting all the way to the big day! This cake was far too pretty to smash...but my husband did get some blue icing on his nose ;) -

Patrice is incredible! Not only was she such a joy to work with, but her desserts are the most delicious works of art! I did a tasting with her over a year before my wedding, and just from meeting her I knew I wanted her to bake for my wedding. She's so personable, professional and kind. Plus, her baking is top notch! Our dessert bar was such a hit, we had ZERO leftover. And our wedding cakes were incredible, we definitely made sure we saved some! I cannot recommend Patrice enough! We're already planning to return to OBX this summer, and ordering some of her Oatmeal Pies & S'mores bars are on our to do list! -

Lots of Love for Patty Bakes!!
I’d read many reviews of how good Patrice’s cake were (100% true) and fell in love with many of her designs. My daughter and I were delighted she was available to make her cake on her wedding day and also added many of the fabulous desserts my daughter and her groom loved and sampled at their tasting. It was stunning!! All the desserts were gorgeous but were also more importantly delicious!! Patrice was also so warm and fun and made you feel like you were talking to a close friend. We were delighted by her and would definitely recommend her services to anyone planning their wedding! -

Kim Sent on 05/14/2018The cake Patrice made for us was one of the highlights of our wedding. It was beautiful and delicious! Yummy and exactly what we wanted - the buttercream frosting was so light! We couldn't believe the flowers on the cake were made out of sugar - they looked like real flowers. And the chocolate drips were amazing! Patrice was excellent at communicating with us and made the process super easy and fun! She is so talented. I only wish she worked closer to us... so we could have her do our birthday cakes!

Beautiful and delicious cake
Everything down from our our phone call to selecting flavors and tastings to day of set up was absolutely wonderful. I cannot say enough kind things about Patrice. She is an absolutely gem and I’m so glad that I found her Instagram and reached out. The cake was a custom flavor, and absolutely not expecting OUR choice to play out well in the taste bud area, but she knew exactly what we were looking for and executed it beautifully. The cake was gorgeous and delicious and so were the little treats we got to go along with it!! She recommended our day of coordinator when we went to pick up our tasting cakes, chatted with us for quite awhile and we just felt like old friends. On the day of the wedding, she came to set up the cake and I was busy getting ready so I unfortunately wasn’t able to thank anyone but she found me and said hi! It was a wonderful surprise, gives you those warm and fuzzies when you’re stressed, two hours before you walk down the aisle! If we ever need a cake again, in the OBX, I will only be ordering from Patrice!!! -

Most Delicious and Gorgeous Cupcakes/Cakes
Patty Bakes is amazing! Patricia made our wedding cake and cupcakes and we could not have been more pleased. We had 3 different cupcake flavors and it was impossible to pick my favorite; they were all so good! Our guests all raved about them and we enjoyed the top tier of the cake for ourselves-we were planning to freeze it for our 1 year anniversary, but ate it right away instead :).
Patricia was also so great to work with. We had 3 large sampling cakes for our tasting. She is so energetic and made us feel like her only clients! We had a tropical theme for the wedding and she decorated our cake so beautifully with the florals. Definitely use her for any of your baking needs! -

I loved Patty's cakes the minute I saw them. Initially, I just wanted treats that our guests could easily grab but I fell in LOVE with her designs. The dreamy romantic painted flower cake that resulted was so beautiful and yummy.
On top of that the other treats we ordered my guests are literally still talking about, giant cookies, smores treats, cupcakes... are you hungry yet? They were ALL AMAZING! -

Patty made a gorgeous, sculptural cake for our wedding. Although all of our guests gawked at and photographed the cake, no one was sad to see us cut into it after dinner. We had been raving about it since our tasting six months prior, and will continue to do so. In order to get the cake to look how we wanted and to meet the minimum order for a wedding package, we got a much larger cake than we needed for the night of the wedding. This was fantastic, because we got to devour what was left over the next day or two. Next time we travel to the OBX, we plan to have a party just so we have an excuse for another of Patty’s cakes. -

Patty Bakes is officially my favorite person when it comes to sweets. Our wedding cake was just magically and Patrice was SUPER easy to work with. We cannot thank Patty enough for all she did for us and let me tell you when you sample cakes with Patty that is truly fun! She does not simply give you one small bite of a cake...no no no...she practically bakes three cakes for you to sample. Seriously, anyone looking for someone to bake their cake you should totally use Patty Bakes! -

How to describe my experience with Patty Bakes?? Words can not describe how amazing my cake was they made, how amazing it tasted, and all the compliments we had on the cake! My cousin ate four pieces because the red velvet was soo delicious. From the moment we had contact with Patrice, to the sketch, to the tasting and design of our cake everything was just perfect! I mean, I literally felt like the cake appearance, taste, texture, customer service, everything was exquisite and perfect. When we did our cake tasting we could not decide on which flavor we wanted, and Patrice suggested both so we did! We are happy we did! Thank you again for making our day just absolutely flawless in that department. -

We found Patty Bakes through our venue and are so happy we were able to work with her! From our first meeting with Patrice, she was so incredibly warm and easy to talk to. It felt like we were catching up with an old friend. Her baking skills are second to none and she is truly an artist when it comes to decorating. We absolutely loved our wedding cake, it was a masterpiece and tasted even better than it looked. My husband and I literally cheered while tasting it at our wedding. Thank you, Patrice!! You are so wonderful!! -

The best wedding cake/desserts we've ever had
Not only was the cake beautiful, it was the best wedding cake we've ever eaten, and our guests agreed. We also ordered the ginger-lime tarts, but asked for toasted meringue on top, and they were amazing. Because we had such a small wedding (17 total), we got a smaller cake and opted for more variety in desserts. Patty talked with us about our vision for the dessert table and made a really elegant and unique cake. She worked with us on coming up with a cake that was off-book as far as her regular offerings and everything turned out incredible. Our wedding coordinator and Patty have a great working relationship and planned the cake and dessert pick up, so everything was seamless. Patty was so nice and we definitely recommend her! -

Perfect experience
We are so happy we found Patty Bakes! Working with Patrice was so much fun, and she was able to work with my food allergies and still make our dream cake. It looked even more beautiful than I had imagined! And it was honestly the most delicious cake I have ever had. Thank you so much Patrice!! -

Boy are you in for a treat when you hire Patty!! She is so talented and creative when it comes to her desserts. When hunting for vendors we had a horrible first experience with a baker so finding Patty was a godsend. She was so easy to work with and even makes THE CUTEST mini cakes for your tasting. She made our dreams come to life and we could not thank her enough. She is like family and we still keep in touch either by email or IG. Mainly about our pups! -

Talk about yummmm
We had opted for a dessert bar instead of a big cake, not everyone likes the same cake and there’s always too much left over. In this case there was barely anything left over, from s’mores bars to cupcakes to tarts and everything in between Patty blew everyone away with her amazing treats. Our cake was the best cake I’ve ever had and Patty make it the perfect color and design to match our invitations. -
