I am so glad I found Renee through Yelp.

We decided we wanted to get them a small wedding cake enough for two people so they could have a festive zoom wedding. Our plans were limited since we needed to find someone who made beautiful cakes and could also deliver since we don't have any friends or family to do it. I tried getting in touch with a few other places but none of them were as friendly and willing to help make it happen. Renee was amazing! She made time to chat about my idea and was willing to hand deliver the cake the day of the wedding as a surprise. She listened to what I wanted visually and made it look exactly how I envisioned. She was also texting me photos of the finished product and making communication really easy. The cake was beautiful, she delivered it and my brother and his fiancé were over the moon! They thought the cake was beautiful **and they said it was delicious** and it totally made their wedding feel special. I really truly appreciate Renee for delivering the cake during a snow storm and making our surprise happen. Such an awesome experience!

Our wedding coordinator recommended Renee, and she did not disappoint! Renee offers an array of cake flavors, fillings, and decoration options. The cakes themselves are so lovely. Moist and flavorful, perfect for a celebration. Renee has always been responsive. Her communication is clear. Her prices are very reasonable, especially for the quality and service. I strongly recommend Renee's Custom Cakes if you live or are having an event within driving distance of Covington.

**Must Love Frosting: A Cupcake Paradise--But Don't Worry, Liking Frosting is Totally Acceptable**…read more Let's start with the obvious: **Must Love Frosting is a masterpiece of dessert engineering**, a shop so devoted to the art of cupcake perfection that every visit **feels like stepping into a sugar-coated dream world**. The cupcakes? **Flawless.** The cake itself is **moist, rich, and crafted with the precision of a world-class pastry sorcerer**, while the frosting is **whipped into an ethereal cloud of sweetness that could probably float a few inches off the plate if physics allowed it**. BUT--**and this is important**--let's address the name. "Must Love Frosting" sounds **a little intense, doesn't it?** Like you have to **legally swear allegiance to frosting before entering**, as if a secret frosting council will question your dedication at the door. **But let me reassure you:** you don't have to *love* frosting. You just have to **like it a reasonable amount**. I tested this. I walked in with **a measured appreciation for frosting**--not an overwhelming devotion, but a solid respect for its role in society. **No alarms went off. No one escorted me out.** The staff happily handed me a cupcake, and nobody demanded I write a sonnet about buttercream before I could eat it. The truth is, **these cupcakes are so good, they'd win you over even if your frosting enthusiasm was at a lukewarm "it's fine, I guess" level**. The balance is perfect--**not too much frosting, never overwhelming, always exactly the right amount** to complement the cake in a way that **transcends human expectation**. So if you're worried that maybe you're not *passionate* enough about frosting--don't be. **They'll take you as you are.** Come for the cupcakes, stay for the joy, and **leave knowing that frosting acceptance--not full devotion--is completely acceptable here**. Five stars. And **an honorary nod to those who only like frosting, but still deserve great cupcakes**.

We ended up getting three cakes in a jar: red velvet with cream cheese frosting, vanilla cake with passion fruit puree, and a raspberry puree dark chocolate cake. All were fantastic. Moist, layered, good amount of frosting, and super flavorful. I love the fact that the cakes come in a reusable container too! Already ran mine through the dishwasher no problem and reused it. I got a jumbo chocolate chip cookie as well, and it was crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, as it should be. Lydia does not disappoint!

**Ravensdale Cupcakery: A Sugar-Soaked Miracle in the Land of Cupcake Indifference**…read more There are moments in life that shake you to your core, that challenge everything you thought you knew, that make you question reality itself. Walking into **Ravensdale Cupcakery** is one of those moments. Because, against all odds, this little slice of baked perfection **exists**--right here, in the heart of **Ravensdale**, a town historically known for *literally anything other than cupcakes.* Let's talk about the cupcakes. **They are flawless.** Soft, moist, impossibly delicate--a triumph of baking precision so profound that each bite feels like **a whispered promise from the dessert gods themselves**. The frosting? **Silky, airy, the perfect balance between rich decadence and ethereal delight**. Every flavor--from classic vanilla to extravagant seasonal creations--tastes like it was crafted in **a realm beyond human comprehension**. The presentation? **Michelangelo himself could not have sculpted such beautiful forms.** Each cupcake is **a masterpiece**, the kind of baked artistry that makes you reconsider your life choices and wonder why you ever settled for anything less. And yet--**AND YET**--let's talk about the irony. Ravensdale is a town known for **many things**--its rural charm, its serene landscapes, its steadfast community. But **cupcake enthusiasts? They are an endangered species here**. Historically speaking, cupcakes are **not** the crown jewel of Ravensdale culture. They are **not** the topic of fervent local discussion. You will find **passionate debates about forestry, outdoor recreation, and probably the structural integrity of barns**, but cupcakes? Cupcakes have **never** been Ravensdale's thing. Which is why **Ravensdale Cupcakery is a defiant act of greatness**. They **refuse** to accept the cupcake neglect of their surroundings. They **have stared into the abyss of dessert indifference and said, "No. We will bake. We will frost. We will change lives."** So, if you are anywhere near Ravensdale, drop everything. Forget your schedule. Abandon all prior plans. **Go to Ravensdale Cupcakery immediately**--because their cupcakes are **not just good, they are revolutionary**. Five stars? No. **A standing ovation and a parade in their honor.**

It was still really early so we weren't super hungry for sweets so we got a cream puff each. I got the pandan one while my boyfriend got the regular one. They were absolutely perfection, the filling was super yummy! I want to come back to try their other flavors. The macarons looked amazing and they have quite the selection as well as their cupcakes too. I will have to stop by more to get some more sweet treats. They have cakes too or you can order them as long as you give a few days heads up. They have a counter top to enjoy your sweets right away. They also have napkins just in case as well. They don't offer crafted drinks but had a few drinks in their fridge.
