Cotton Leigh Bakery

"We ordered my dad a birthday cake that we ate as dessert for our rehearsal dinner. The cake not only looks amazing, but tasted just as good as looks! We cannot recommend Cotton Leigh Bakery enough and look forward to visiting when we're back in town."

"Cotton Leigh Bakery not only makes the most delicious desserts, but also creates the most beautiful presentation to show them off. We had a styled shoot followed by a community open house and could not have been happier. Crista is a joy to work with."

"My experience with Cotton Leigh Bakery, from a Mother of the Bride who is also a Professional Event Planner: Locally owned. Quality desserts. Delicious. Beautiful presentation. Exemplary Service. Reliable Delivery. Pricing, in comparison to other bakers in the area is competitive but not exorbitant. While doing a thorough comparative of all wedding bakers in and around the Asheville, NC area (for a destination wedding where we had zero relationship with bakery businesses), there were a lot of high priced quotes, but Crista (owner) was definitely more reasonable, especially for the artistry and quality of her products. A+ customer satisfaction Crista brought to life our specific design of a Fall themed dessert table for our daughter and son-in-laws 100 guest wedding, consisting of a variety of mini whoopie pies that represented the flavors of the fall season. Her creative display elevated above and beyond our vision. They were such a hit in fact, that there were only a dozen left at the end of the evening, which were fought over! The cake itself was stunning, containing preferred flavors of the bride and groom, and the compliments abounded with the flavor, texture, moistness aka best slice of wedding cake ever eaten comments from so many guests in attendance. Crista embellished the wedding cake with her original design of fall elements that pulled together the Fall Season themed wedding decor throughout the venue. Also to note, not every wedding cake baker who I reached out to for quotes creates sundry other desserts. But Crista does, and doesn't disappoint! Crista is an example of the quintessential small business sole proprietor who works from a very small but quaint storefront in downtown Sylva, diligently creating her delectable artistry specialized to each and every client/customer, personalized to their desires. When you reach out to her via phone or email, be patient to receive a response as she stays very busy, and know that your patience will pay off in the end. For her exemplary service, she deserves every consideration to contract for whatever confectionary need it is that you have. If I lived in the area, Cotton Leigh Bakery would certainly be my go to for every dessert need. Photos compliments of @ohsocaro (Caroline Trotter Photography)"

"I stopped in today for a cannoli. They make them to order. It was so good! They also sell cup cakes. There is a sign outside that states, “Getting Married, Schedule a Cake Tasting”. I’m guessing this must be their main source of business."

"Cotton Leigh Bakery is a gem!!!! Crista is AMAZING!!!! She can make any design you want and if it seems out of your budget DON'T WORRY!!! She will sit and work with you to get your dream wedding cake into your budget. OOOH AND THE BEST PART.... her cake, pies, e.t.c are sooooo yummy! I am extremely picky and it was well with driving 3 hours to check her out for samples. We knew she was our Baker as soon as we met her. She is so professional, personable and worth the booking! I never had to worry about a thing and as soon as I saw the cake set up I started to tear up. It was PERFECT ♡"
