Top Tier Baker at Incredible Price

Tabitha, the talented baker behind our wedding cake, deserves all the praise and recognition. Her meticulous attention to detail and passion for her craft shone through in every aspect of the cake, from the intricate design to the heavenly flavors. We're endlessly grateful for Tabitha's contribution to our special day, as her creation not only delighted our taste buds but also served as a beautiful centerpiece for our celebration. Tabitha's dedication and talent truly made our wedding unforgettable, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in search of a magical cake experience.

Amazing cake Moist and beautiful

Tabitha was amazing from tasting to set up the day of. She took the vision we had and made it work. I had the flowers and topper ready and she took care of getting everything put together. It looked beautiful! But more importantly, it tasted AMAZING. The bottom layer was cinnamon cake with cream cheese filling and the two other layers were white chocolate cake with raspberry filling The cakes were so moist! I have no idea how she had cakes that moist sitting atop one another with pillars no less! There wasn't a single piece of the white chocolate left and the only reason we had any cinnamon left was because our catering team didn't realize there was another flavor and didn't cut it right away. But what was cut was eaten. We cut all the remaining cake into slices and froze them individually and a week later they are still moist and delicious Highly recommend!

Not a crumb left.

Almost didn’t go to our cake tasting. We had hired a caterer who because he was awarded the contract to host my daughters wedding, caterer said he would throw in the cake for free!
and who doesn’t like free stuff!
But we tasted caterers cake and we’ll it wasn’t bad but it wasn’t his specialty either.
Luckily my daughter had not canceled our cake tasting with Cakes by Design.
We were blown away! All her flavors were exceptional!! We called the caterer right away and said, thanks but no thanks.
Cakes by Design was, professional, affordable, but above all spectacular in flavor, richness and scrumptious.
Our guests were blown away!! Not a crumb left!!
Highly and 100% recommended Cakes by Design.
