Cakes by Tawanda

"Tawanda did an excellent job for our wedding the past Saturday. She was so easy to work with and I can't say enough good things about our experience. The cake and cupcakes were STUNNING and they tasted even better. Would highly recommend her for all your wedding needs. Everyone at the wedding raved about the cupcakes, and even took some home for later. 10/10!!!"

"Cakes by Tawanda did an amazing job. On our wedding day, the cake was delivered on time, looked gorgeous, and was very delicious. I didn't want to cut it because that's how beautiful it was. If you need a cake for any occasion, Cakes by Tawanda is the place to go. Thanks for adding to my special day."

"Tawanda did an amazing job! The attention to detail on the cake was just as phenomenal as the taste. I am still in aww over it! Very impressed! Thank you for making it such a special day for us. We are truly thankful for your work!"

"I remember coming to Google trying to find a good baker in Newport News. My regular baker lost her touch and was never on time with my orders. I didn’t want to go across the water and the other bakers were out of my price range. I wanted a professional who could bring my dream to life but I didn’t want to go broke at the same time. Don’t get me wrong, I will pay for a good cake but some of these bakers are probably celebrity bakers and your girl isn’t on that level yet. The reviews for Ms. Tawanda were mixed and once I reached out to her and she told me her price I thought, she is so affordable... there is no way these cakes are going to be good. However, she was so nice and something in my spirit just said give her a try. I am soooo glad I did! The 2 cakes she did for me were absolutely stunning! The designs came out better than the pictures I provided. Not only did they look good... they were delicious!! Did I tell you that I am picky when it comes to cakes! My mother was a cake baker and decorator for years, so you have to come with that A game to impress me!! I am so happy I discovered her. When in the 757 she is my new go to! I am just so thankful for amazing quality and service at an affordable price."

"5 STARS!!! And a standing ovation! I'm from MD. We planned a family trip/birthday party in the area and I was so hesitant and worried about who to order a cake from! My original order was canceled last minute by the shop I first chose, it was a blessing... I'm glad Tawanda chose to accept such a late order or I'd have missed out on such a great thing! They are so professional and accommodating! Her assistant baker helped us pull the car up and load it and he was so friendly and bubbly!! The aesthetic of the cake was MARVELOUS and compared to the excellent quality, the prices are more than fair! Especially when you compare the price to the quality of the cake! MOST IMPORTANTLY... Usually pretty cakes aren't tasty cakes, but I was surprised by how delicious and moist her cakes are! I chose the strawberry filled cake and yellow cupcakes and made treats to match... they were a HIT with everyone!!! I can't wait to be back in the area! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BAKER!!! You'd be doing yourself a disservice by NOT supporting her business! Our traditional summer birthday trip will always be in this area so we can continue to get such amazing cakes! I want to extend my gratitude and thanks again to Tawanda and her wonderful staff!!!"
