Back in October of 2019 we flew over to Bend (from FL) to check out some vendors, see our venue, +…read moredo a "tasting" with a very well known local bakery. Much to our disappointment, I arrived at the bakery to find 4 very dried out cupcakes, no one to assist me, + anything but a tasting. (Yes, we had discussed a tasting via email weeks in advance; they knew we were coming.) As we drove around waiting for our next appointment my mom stumbled on these same reviews for Crumb Cakery + emailed Tara. Although we were unable to meet her on that trip, my mom insisted that she "just [had] a good feeling about Tara" so we should come back once more before the wedding to meet her. Mother's intuition... Spot on!! In January, after some shifts to our wedding plans, we made a trip out to Bend + met with Tara for a tasting. THIS WAS A TRUE TASTING!! From trying out multiple combinations to being encouraged to create our own; not to mention how absolutely delicious everything was. WE WERE SOLD! To be honest, we had not even wanted a cake but the family had pushed us to get one. As life would have it after the tasting we were reluctant to pick a flavor so we ended up choosing two for the cake + designing an entire dessert table for all 15 people (including ourselves) that would be attending the wedding. For months Tara + I messaged back and forth on how to bring this table to life + since we are from out of town she even made a run to Homegoods to pick out some display trays for us. Talk about going above + beyond! The sweets became one of our most anticipated parts of our wedding + our family could not wait to taste it all. The table display was gorgeous, everything tasted amazing, + the three boxes of leftover sweets were eaten the day following the wedding leaving us with only one box carrying our top tier to be taken back to FL with us for our anniversary! Tara is a dream to work with, a true pastry chef, + artist. If I lived in Bend, I'd go to her for all my confection needs. Please do not hesitate to contact her for whatever you need. You will not regret it! Thank you so much for everything, Tara. We love you!

I have been following Crumb Cakery for a while on Instagram. I contacted Tara and ordered a cake from the website. There are so many different options and selections to choose from. We ordered the cake two weeks out. Tara has messaged me along the way and kept me updated. I was told when the cake would be ready and when and where to pick it up. Everything went perfectly! The cake was beautiful, Tara was very punctual and it tasted amazing! Most importantly my daughter loved it. I can't recommend Crumb Cakery enough. If you are looking for a wedding cake, birthday cake or just something sweet to brighten your day, this is the place. Thanks so much for making our day and providing Bend with a "Real" bakery!

I contacted her a few weeks in advance. I was traveling to Oregon from Texas to celebrate our girls' birthdays. I mailed her the toppers for both the cake and 15 cupcakes. She was quick to respond and said she would be able to provide free delivery within the bend area which was perfect because the party was in bend. She was super nice in providing additional cupcake toppers as I ordered 24 cupcakes but didn't have enough toppers. She really went above and beyond any expectations I had. Her prices were competitive in comparison to other bakers in the area but ultimately she was the one with the most reasonable prices. The payment process was super easy too! The cakes were a huge hit at the party and everyone kept asking where I got such beautiful cakes from. The buttercream was soo good and the chocolate and vanilla cake were good too!! If I lived in Central Oregon I would definitely continue to use Elevation Desserts for my custom cakes.

Upon entering there is a counter filled with savory scones, croissants, cookies, and cinnamon rolls to name a few. I don't know everything they had because nothing was marked, but they had a nice variety. A small area had bread for sale including sourdough. There was a small area with seating on the side. I chose an unfrosted cinnamon roll, and my husband chose a chocolate glazed donut. The cinnamon roll was soft and with just the right amount of sweetness. I would have liked a small amount of frosting drizzle but they only had the other option of a heavily frosted cream cheese frosting. It still was so good! My husband's donut was very good, he said. I now wish I had bought a scone or something else to try. Alas I will have to come visit Sisters again, as I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here.

Meg of NutMeg Cakes and Catering is a truly expert pastry chef. Meg trained at the Culinary…read moreInstitute of America and from what I have tasted, she was at the top of her class. Meg's cakes are moist, light, sweet, but not overly so, and layered with amazing flavors. Meg's Black Forest chocolate cake filled with cherries and topped with a whipping cream is heavenly. Her Bailey's Chocolate Cake is even better than it sounds. I have also tasted her red velvet cupcakes filled with chocolate ganache and topped with cream cheese frosting. Seriously. Yum. Her lemon tarts are so beyond. She also does a lemon curd filled cake that is killer. Plus, I have devoured her amazing onion tarts and other savory pastries. They are totally amazing. Why have I tasted so many of Meg's treats? She is the pastry chef for Poppies and Jen's Garden, both in Sisters, Oregon. Poppies and Jen's Garden have amazing food, as well. They both strive to put out the highest quality food while targeting a different dining experience. You know they have the highest of expectations for pastries that come out of their kitchens, and Meg delivers. I work out every day and save all of my "treat" calories for one of Meg's delicious pastries. I am already dreaming about what she will make next. NutMeg Cakes and Catering is available for on-site catering, special events, specialty cakes, wedding cakes, and more. You should call Meg. You will be glad that you did!

I appreciated I could get my drink and treats at one spot and both were very good. Highly recommend if in town looking for a good treat!
