    I just wanna say my cake was absolutely amazing!!! I worked with Blair on the phone because i had to plan my wedding from 3000 miles away. She did a fantastic job on the cake and we had a 4 layer cake that was supposed to serve well over a hundred and we had less then 50 people and 3 layers of the cake was gone. That's how amazing our cake was. Everyone absolutely loved our cake and we did too and the design and colors were amazing as well. Thank you so much Blair!!!

    I was beyond pleased with the cakes that Blair made for my wedding. I requested over 20 individual centerpiece cakes, one tiered cake, and one groom's cake, and she accepted the challenge and did a wonderful job! The cakes were decorated beautifully, tasted fresh and moist, and were exactly how I envisioned them. Blair was easy to talk with and eager to meet with me to discuss what I wanted my cakes to be like. I felt like I was talking with an old friend and I truly felt that she wanted to make these cakes special for me. Many of the guests from our wedding asked to take some cake home with them and commented on how delicious they were and how the fondant didn't taste like rubbery fondant you usually get on wedding cakes. I was so pleased and would recommend Blair's Custom Cakes for anyone.

    Blair made not only a Gorgeous cake, but an incredibly delicious one! My husband and I were in heaven, especially since you can eat the fondant! Our guests raved about the moistness of the cake, as well as how beautiful it was. Blair, you are the best! Thanks again!

    Blair's Cake was awesome. Blair did 180 cupcakes along with a 6 inch cake for my wedding in 2010. I was planning two weddings one in Arizona and another in Central America where I'm currently living. It was such a stressful time. One of my best friends told me about Blair’s cake because Blair had done her sister’s wedding cake and thought it was the best wedding cake ever. From hearing all these good things I met with Blair. She was very sweet and knew exactly what I wanted. I saw her once then I went back to Central America and never worried about it again. When the wedding came Blair was there and ready to go. She did everything! The cupcakes looked amazing and also tasted AMAZING. My husband couldn’t stop eating the cupcakes well everyone couldn’t stop eating them. I’m very thankful for Blair’s hard work. I would recommend her for any occasion. Thank you Blair!!!!!!!

    Blair's cakes are delicious! She was very professional to meet with, listened to what we wanted and offered good suggestions/alternatives. She delivered on time and took care of everything. We had many comments on how great the cakes tasted! Blair's offers beautiful cakes that taste great! Not a combination that is easy to find. Pricing was also very reasonable!

    Blairs cakes were AMAZING! She used our little toy characters and made our cake for our Pirate themed wedding look like a pirate ship and a separate cake looked like the ocean with a shark jumping out of it, and all on a budget that did not kill us! She was the most reasonable of about a dozen different bakers we interviewed, and our cake was GORGEOUS!
    Taste?? 3 different tiers and a sheet cake, 4 different flavors to make everyone happy, and they were scrumptious! Moist and fresh, this cake could not be better!

    Blair was amazing. Not only were her prices perfect, she made my vision come to life for our wedding cake! She had lots of ideas, was very patient and easy going. She put my mind at ease and reassured me that I would not have to worry about the cake on my wedding day, and I didn't! She added fresh flowers to my cake and was gone before I even arrived at our venue. The taste of the cake was awesome! I hate when people use too much fondant; it consumes the flavor of the cake! But, Blair uses just enough to make the cake look flawless. Everytime I have a friend who is getting married, I refer them to Blair! Thanks again, Blaire!! =)

    We had our wedding cake done by Blair and it turned out exceptional....we had quite a difficult design and she made it a masterpiece! Our cake tasted amazing and had guests going back for more! Since our wedding she has done a birthday cake for our daughter and that was really beautiful as well! We don't just recommend Blair we will never go any where else for a cake ever again!

    Thanks Blair for making our special day even more amazing!

    Should have written a review a while back but it's been crazy. I had a small celebration dinner for my civil wedding and ordered a small simple but elegant cake from Blair. I've always ordered my bday cakes and other cakes from her. As always, the cakes turned out good :) The cake was moist and very delicious!!! Can't wait to order my daughters' baptism cakes from her in April!!

    Blair did an amazing job on our cake. It looked amazing - I couldn't have imagined it any better. It tasted great and everyone enjoyed it. We had a little scheduling conflict getting together for our tasting, but she was great to work with and great personality. I'd definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a great cake for a great value!

    My husband and I actually got married in a small JOP Ceremony on May 7, 2012, after he had a motorcycle accident. At that time, we had decided we would do a small get together at the end of summer with friends and family to celebrate our marriage. My best friend had offered to buy our cake for the "reception," and upon hearing that I had ordered it from WalMart, she said "NO," so I started looking for a baker 1 week prior to our party. Blair was the second number I called but the only response I got. Luckily, she lives near my best friend, and agreed to meet with us at her place the Sunday before our party. We had purchased our cake topper that same day, and we were worried that it would be too heavy for our cake, so Blair said she would put extra support in the top layer of our cake to hold the weight. She dropped the cake off at my friend's house the day of the party, and my friend got it to my place without any trouble. It was absolutely beautiful and very yummy. Our cake topper fit perfectly with no trouble at all. My guests really enjoyed the cake, but especially loved the top tier which was pink champagne with raspberry filling! We're definitely going to have that flavor for our 1-year anniversary cake. Thanks so much, Blair, for the beautiful cake!!

    I'd like to first start off by saying Blair is as sweet as can be. The reason I gave a low score on quality is really my fault. I asked for a very difficult cake. I gave her a piece of ribbon that matches my wedding color for her to make the fondant out of, but it was sheer and the color only shows if you double up the ribbon; which I tried taping together. The color I wanted was a dark olive green with a gold shimmer, but it came out very light green. I also asked for a unique looking bow that I found online made out of fondant as the topper, but I got a groom/bride topper instead. I told her though that I trust her judgment and if the bow doesn't look great, don't do it. I also told her if the color is not exact, make something that will still look nice. I was hoping for more, but for the cost, I still got a great cake.

    We did get a cake for our wedding, and we did like it even though it was not fully decorated as we wanted it, but we were able to forget that. She even let us know that she would be happy to make us a cake for our 1 year wedding anniversary. Well we called a couple of weeks before our anniversary and it took her about a week and a half and a half a dozen calls for her to return our call. She mentioned she had been sick but she would be still do a cake for us. She let us know she would make cake for us for our anniversary getaway we had a week after our actual annivesary. When we went on our getaway we called her again, and she didn't call us back until we got back. She said she was sorry and that she would deliver a cake to us the next day. We called back again the next day because we never received our cake and she didn't call us. We have since called her at least 6 times and she has never once called us back. My major complaint is out of principle. If you are going to offer your customer a free 1 year anniversary cake, you better deliver, otherwise, do not bother to offer something like that if you do not plan on delivering!

    Blair's Custom Cakes LLC's reply:

    It's to bad I didn't see this review sooner.. I would have responded right away. I would like to start by saying I spoke to both bride and groom after the wedding and they raved about their cake and were very happy with it. Secondly I did totally blow them off about the anniversary cake I fully admit to that. My son was sick sick sick and I did let them know if I could do the cake I would be happy to. But on my end it just didn't work out. And as well as lying about how they liked the cake, they are not being truthful about the 2nd anniversary cake. They called left a message and I returned the call the same hour. Told her husband (on voice mail) that I would be more than happy to make them the cake I NEVER heard back from them (after leaving 2 more messages) . I cannot please every customer but do my best to do so. I am a mom and business owner and sometimes my family has to come first. I also want to remind you this is a free convenience service that I offer for my couples I was never paid for this disservice.

    1 year later very disappointed. Was told not to save the cake topper and that on our 1 year anniversary she'd make us the remake of the cake. My wife emailed on several of her email accounts including her website on shutterfly.com. She tried for 1 month and gave up after no response from Blair. Went to another cake company to remake the cake. Don't really care for her excuse have all the emails copied and marked read. Cake was great at our wedding but as far as caring for her customers after its over we felt misled.

    Blair's Custom Cakes LLC's reply:

    Its to bad you didn't read this couples review a year ago when they said how amazing their cake was... I returned the call from them about 4 days before their anniversary and they said they had gone somewhere else for the cake. what can you do about that??

    This was a disaster! We signed a contract stating if we cancelled at least 12 weeks in advance we would get our deposit back. Well we had an unforeseen financial difficulty and had to cancel the entire wedding until next year, 2013. We called her months in advance and asked for the deposit and let her know we would still be using her, just at a later date. Well first she said she couldn't give it to us cause it would put her in a bind. We let it slide. Then she went on vacation for 2 weeks and promised we could get it back. 3 weeks later and we had to fight to get it back. Not only did she not want to give it back, she avoided phone calls, only replied (rarely) to emails. The worst part is on her business facebook page she LIED about us, stating it was NOT in our contract to get the deposit, and she changed the rules. She told 1/2 truths and got support from people who also said horrid things about us. If they would have known the truth it would be otherwise. I don't mind the rest of the mess, she isn't very professional, but to really give me a bad name on a public site? To outright LIE to look like a victim? It makes me sick. Her cakes may be great but she is a horrible business owner and has even worse customer service. I recommend going to a REAL business for a cake, not some home-run 1/2 job.

    Blair's Custom Cakes LLC's reply:

    All I have to say is WOW!! I wish I could add the emails and voicemails from this couple to back me up but that is impossible.. First off let me start by saying I have never ever worked with a more unprofessional person in my life.
    They called and said they needed their deposit back which is true. That's about the only truth here. I told them I would get back to them in a couple of days. I needed to check the contract and make sure that was even a possibility because I changed my contract many month ago saying no deposit returns.(they had the old contract which said YES refunds were possible) The first call was right before Christmas. I have to admit that with the hustle and bustle of Christmas I was not as prompt as I normally am. I did email them before the holiday saying that I was going out of town and they would be the first thing on my list when I got home. When I was on my only 2 week vacation of the year I got many nasty threatening messages. I didn't call back but did email so I had proof of our conversations. I never received a message back. When I came home we set up a time for them to come get the deposit and did not show up. We set up another time to meet and again a no show. Finally last night at 915 (I was in bed) they call my home and business line till I answered the phone. (I don't ever answer business calls after 8pm) screaming at me that I better give him the money or he taking me to court.. WOW.. so I got up and put the money under my mat.. To tell you the truth I am scared that this couple knows where I live.
