    We ordered a dream cake for our wedding and it really was a dreamy cake! We tried the sampler box, but the real cake still blew us away. We love chocolate, so our selections were marble cake with nutella and vanilla custard fillings and dark chocolate cake with salted caramel and German chocolate fillings. Wow! This was delicious and perfect for our wedding. We chose the stucco style frosting decoration and loved the way it turned out. Our florist added some chocolate coated (food safety) flowers to the top of the cake which I really loved how it all came out. We will definitely be recommending and coming back to Dream Cakes for future celebration cakes!

    the best cake I've had in my life.

    Two words: TOFFEE CRUNCHIES Actually, that's doesn't at all do Dream Cakes justice, but we gotta start there. Toffee crunchies might be my all-time favorite cake topping/filling. You can get it in between the layers or on the outside - I recommend both. Other filling options include buttercream and salted caramel, and all of them are solid choices. I requested alternate layers of chocolate and white cake, with multiple different fillings. I was afraid my request might be annoyingly onerous, but Johannah and Megan at Dream Cakes are the sweetest people - they told me it was fun to make! Overall, this is probably the best cake I've ever had. Follow their advice and wait til the cake warms to room temperature, as the luscious high-quality butter in the cake softens and makes the whole bite irresistibly moist, and a perfect contrast to the toffee crunchies. The cake is the perfect (in my opinion) level of sweetness, still incredibly indulgent but noticeably less sweet than a cake you'd get at a supermarket, at Costco, or at a lesser bakery, where extra sugar might be used to disguise other imperfections in the cake. No need of that here. I think it's only during pandemic lockdown that Dream Cakes has been doing smaller individual (non-wedding) orders, so order from them while you can! One of the brightest silver linings of 2020!

    Dream Cakes is truly a bride's dream! Johanna was so easy to work with. I wasn't able to attend the tasting with my granddaughter but it must have been terribly hard for her to decide amongst all the flavors and looks. She drew a picture of what she wanted the cake to look like and the Dream Cake was just perfect! The flavors she chose were lemon cake with lemon curd and berry filling, carrot cake with toffee crunch filling, and dark chocolate cake with chocolate ganache and salted caramel. People raved about each tier but I heard the chocolate was particularly divine. The set up was perfectly done by them with fresh orchids completing the look. I cannot say enough about Dream Cakes and I'm hoping to have another occasion so we can try new flavors!

    Wedding Cake Sampler.

    Wow! Such a special treat. I picked up a wedding cake sampler that was delightful. They also provided an "Oregon Bride" magazine with the sampler which highlighted a few weddings they worked on in 2020. I thought that was a nice touch. The cakes were actually mini 2? inch cakes, rather than tiny bites that other local bakeries offer! A little bit of the butter cream icing stuck to the box but that is not a big deal as I'm sure on my wedding day this would not be a thing. The women in the shop were very nice upon arrival and showed great interest in my wedding day and possible cake design. I have not picked a bakery yet but they are high on my list, especially after tasting their scrumptious cakes!

    My daughter was in love with her 4th birthday cake! We ordered a marble cake with Nutella filling, and it was the best cake we have ever had! We will definitely be using dream cakes for all bday and special occasion events. Thanks again so much

    Our wedding cake was delicious and beautiful! After sampling a few places, this was heads and above what came to expect from cake tasting. Johannah was so fun to work with and put up with us as we leafed through each and every page of her example work. They are also extremely flexible - all three tiers were a different flavor. Dream Cakes has everything down to a very, very delicious science. If you're thinking about it, do yourself a favor and book with Dream Cakes!

    Their cakes are absolutely incredible! I found them through Victoria Bar and have been so obsessed with them. As someone who is dairy sensitive it has been incredible to find a bakery that can make delicious vegan cakes! Was lucky enough to get one of their smaller cakes for Valentines Day.

    Dream Cakes lived up to their name - they are a dream to work with and you'll be dreaming of their cake afterward! Every stage working with Johannah was a breeze. Not only was the cake beautiful, it was delicious and reasonably priced. We moved to New York City this summer but we have already talked about getting Dream Cakes when we come back to visit. Thank you, Dream Cakes! Photo credit: Olivia Strohm Photography

    Watercolor 7" cake

    I recommend this place for wedding cake and dessert!! The online ordering was SO easy. I tend to put off phone calls because of anxiety so I'm so glad there was a way to order online without ever having to call! They emailed me after I ordered to request any pictures of what I envisioned. The cake is what I envisioned exactly. I ordered a 7" cake, red velvet cake bites, lemon squares, and chocolate chip cookies. Cake: funfetti cake with a black and gold watercolor design. The taste was immaculate! So delicious. There is so much cake and frosting to even a 7" cake so it could probably feed more than what their suggestions is. I had a couple people that don't typically like cake and they said this was delicious and would eat it again. Red velvet cake bites: also delicious! My partner isn't big on cake but loves red velvet so we had to order these and we are so glad we did. These were so easy to just walk by and pop one in your mouth. Lemon squares: these weren't my favorite, but they were still good. I wouldn't order them again but there were a couple people at my reception that said they were really good. Chocolate chip cookies: these were completely gone by the end of the night. We were weary on ordering because of the price but when looking at other bakery's to just order cookies, this was still the cheapest option. We are glad we ordered them because they were delicious and were a hit for everyone! Overall definitely a 5 star place! Ordering was so simple, pickup was quick and easy. Cake and dessert was everything I wanted.

    It's not often I get to use the word "craveable" but Jo's cheesecakes are just that- INCREDIBLE! Professional, talented, generous and did I say delicious? Highly, highly, highly recommend and the shop is absolutely adorable. 11/10 recommend.

    I've eaten a lot of cake and decorated even more during the last 20 years as a wedding florist with a major sweet tooth! Dream Cakes is the absolute best in terms of both flavor and design. If you're looking for an extraordinarily special cake for your event look no further. She's the best!

    All I can say is WOW! When my husband and I walked into our wedding reception, the first thing that stood out to me over everything else was the cake. It was absolutely amazing! I was thrilled about how well the design turned out. Johannah was such an easy person to work with. She was fun, and excited to do our cake. The flavors were phenomenal! My husband and I ended up eating the top of our cake instead of saving it, and decided to just order a small version at our 1 year anniversary so we can enjoy one of Johannah's cakes again. I highly recommend Dream Cakes for any desserts, but especially wedding cake with fin designs.

I wasn't even sure I was at the right place, thought they were still transitioning from one location to another. Until someone who shared the kitchen popped out. I was told that I should order online and come by for pick up, and was strongly urged to do so because these cheesecakes were really good. When I saw that they were doing a contactless store front, I knew I had to go. This was my opportunity to try it. I texted the owner to ask if the flavor I had my eye on was available. I was halfway there before the owner responded that they had one slice of pandan cheesecake left. There are multiple forms of payment with a card reader, and various apps to pay with online which made this a breeze. The owner Kiana, even popped to introduce herself which I thought was so nice! The flavors here aren't your typical strawberry, chocolate, peanut butter cheesecakes, even though she does offer some variation of them. There's pandan, ube, lemongrass, ginger mango, passionfruit, matcha, guava, pineapple raspberry, and I heard she even cooks up something with the pickle brine from the other business that operates in that kitchen. I thought this would be one of those situations where the food won't look like the picture. The pictures are obviously styled, they look stunning. Nope! The food looked just like what was on Instagram. I am a long time lover of cheesecake, dare I say it's my favorite of the cakes. The condensed milk ube mirror glaze was a lot thicker than I thought it would be and held its form. It wasn't runny and goopy. Loved that it wasn't a sticky mess. The crust was very very thick, I've always wanted more crust on other cheesecakes. On the description, it says it's "jasmine scented almond shortbread cookie crust" slightly saltier than most crusts I've had, but still very enjoyable. I've only had the traditional graham cracker crust and I'm afraid this almond shortbread crust has ruined all other cheesecake crusts for me. I have been disappointed at a lot of places using pandan, because the flavor just wasn't there, not Muse cheesecakes though. Pandan was present indeed. I would have loved if it was a little stronger, but I think that would have overpowered the cheesecake. Each component of the cheesecake are so different and complex on its own. They come together in delicious harmony to make this beautiful slice. I grew up with a lot of Vietnamese food and pandan has a very special place in my stomach.. heart! I've never seen jasmine used outside of tea and condensed milk outside of Vietnamese iced coffee. Kiana definitely has a way with these ingredients and she's a cheesecake goddess! I really can't wait to try the calamansi, Ube, and whatever else is getting cooked up in this delicious kitchen.

Plenty of places to sit for solo diners to large-ish groups. Much of the seating is covered, and heated when the weather calls for it, and everything is kept clean. But people likely come here for the food, and this place doesn't dissapoint. There is a huge variety, from waffles, to Thai, to Sushi, Fish & chips, Mexican and so much more. There is even a bar in the back. I have to give a shout out to Smaaken Waffle Sandwiches. My partner had the chicken and waffle sandwich, and they were pretty happy about it. I had the Kid size PB & Bananas with honey, and OMG it was nummy. I took home half because it was a large serving. The waffles were perfect: crisp on the outside and soft on the inside.

It's crunchy, salty, and sweet. It's everything. But, I don't think my friends will eat it unless I take it out of the bag. I'd rather not share than to deceive. I do appreciate that the ingredients are on the bag though and have no buyers remorse. COOKIES I really like their cookies and appreciate the complementary cookie I received. My favorite is the white chocolate nutter butter. Also the 2oz chocolate chip; it was buttery, crispy and chewy in all the right places. I'm not a big chocolate fan but I like chocolate. This was perfect for me, but awakened my inner Cookie Monster. I love that they have 4oz and 2oz cookies. 2oz is a solid choice for me but the kids enjoy bigger cookies.
