Cakes by Rachel

"The Cakes by Rachel team could not have made the process easier for us and our December '22 wedding. Everyone we interacted with was professional, knowledgeable, and passionate. We knew we wanted a small 2-tier cake with amazing flavors and texture, but we also wanted to provide a dessert table for our guests as well. Rachel & team created a fantastic sampler box with cakes & buttercreams for us to put together on our own, along with a few things we knew we'd want on the bar. Everything was delicious, fresh, and not overly sweet! When it came to cake design, when it's hard to put into words what you want, and Rachel is able to capture it perfectly, what more can you say?? We got so many compliments on all our tasty treats we couldn't have been happier. In addition, the option to utilize display items from the bakery was an added bonus, as it meant everything would be plated in an aesthetically pleasing way. We're so excited that the bakery is local, and we will certainly be back for our anniversary cake(s)!"

"Working with Rachel was such a fun and delicious experience! We started off by signing with her, per our planner’s recommendation -- she swore she had the tastiest cakes around, and that’s what mattered most to us! As it turns out, her cakes are also GORGEOUS. What a huge bonus! After that, we moved on to the part we were looking forward to the most: the tastings. We placed an order for a variety of mini cakes in to-go cups (this was during a bad part of the pandemic, so it couldn’t be in person). Each cup could either be from a preset menu, or our own custom creation from a huge selection of layers, fillings, frostings, and even liqueur flavors…I’m sure I’m forgetting even more options. While they were all delicious, the signature “Lindsay” flavor stole the show with its white chiffon layers, creme and strawberry compote filling, and white chocolate frosting. The tiramisu-style preset option (I forget the name) was a close second. Once we picked the flavors, it was time to start on the design. We came in with no clue how we wanted it to look, other than “simple,” “white,” “organic texture,” and “totally surrounded by flowers installed by our florist.” As you can see from the photos, Rachel totally nailed it, and delivered something above and beyond what we were expecting! You can even see my husband saying “WOW that’s SO good” after we fed each other our first bites our Lindsay wedding cake. To our surprise, my mom worked behind-the-scenes with Rachel on a custom groom’s cake filled with the tiramisu flavor and styled to look like a frat cooler I made him in undergrad (IYKYK). It looked JUST like the real thing…we were astounded! Thanks Rachel for your amazing contribution to our wedding. Our only regret is not eating it even more!!"

"Rachel and her team are truly amazing! We were so happy to have her make our wedding cake and we got so many compliments on it! My mom and I went to the tasting, which was very thoughtfully put together, and came up with two very different cake flavors we wanted to incorporate. Rachel and her team made it happen and it turned out so beautifully. She is easy to communicate with and was incredibly flexible as we had to postpone our celebration several times throughout the pandemic. Thank you Rachel!"

"Rachel and her wonderful team made our wedding cake and cupcake dreams come true!!! The cake was so beautiful and beyond delicious! They were able to accommodate my gluten allergy and make an incredibly yummy gluten free cake. Our guest all raved about our cake and cupcakes! They were asking who our baker was, where they get more and even for the recipes! Highly recommend Rachel and her team! They were quick to respond and great to work with :)"

"Rachel and her team did an amazing job on our wedding cake - not only was it beautiful, but even more importantly it tasted delicious! We had so many people come up to us during the wedding just to tell us how delicious the cake was. She was also great during the entire process from the initial cake tasting, when she was so open to our ideas - a layered almond and chocolate cake with salted caramel and vanilla buttercream - even though it was complex and different, to her responsiveness in helping us reschedule our wedding from 2020 to 2021. I would highly recommend Rachel to anyone!"
