Definitely hire Amber. You know when little girls dream of their wedding dress? I dreamed of my wedding cake. She was the first vendor I booked and she dealt with my neurosis for 3 years (2 year engagement + COVID) before delivering on an absolutely beautiful cake that tasted amazing too! I'm going to hire her for basically all my future important cake dates b/c she's worth every dime and more. Bottom line: Strongly recommend read more

We absolutely LOVE Amber and her beautiful work. She loves what she does and it shows in her deelish cakes and sweet buns. If you have a vision, she'll make it happen. Seriously the most beautiful, romantic (yes, a cake can look romantic damnit) looking cakes ever. Keep an eye out on IG & FB for when she does a sweetbun day. You DO NOT want to miss those days. Not even kidding, we buy anywhere between 6-12. They take us about a week to eat but oh man, we look forward to our evening sweetbuns during that time. They keep very well in the fridge; just pop one... or two in the micro for a minute-ish. They're the perfect amount of sweet. Ya know how everyones favorite part of a sweetbun is the middle? I mean, it's for good reason, its delicious. I actually cannot pick what part of her sweetbuns are my fave. The entire thing is special in its own way. The fluffy outside with a kiss of all the gooey cinnamon mixture covered in the cream cheese icing. Then moving around to the middle where both sides are covered and its a little softer. The texture when you finally make it to the middle, just go ahead and plop it all in your mouth. Goodness, whens the next sweetbun day? read more

So thankful our elopement photographer (Mollie- betweenthepine) recommended Amber to make our dream wedding cake. She made the process seamless and delivered and equally delicious and beautiful cake. We went with a 6" honey vanilla with vanilla buttercream cake and it was epic. The color was magical and even matched my now husband's suit! Lucky for me we had leftovers that served as breakfast for several days. If you're getting married in the Seattle area I would highly recommend seeking out Amber for your custom wedding cake. We also ordered cinnamon buns for the morning of the wedding which were incredible! I'm normally not a huge bun fan (I find they are usually dry with thick crumbly icing) but these were next level. Every bite was like having the center nugget! read more

Amber was amazing to work with for our wedding cake. She's not only just the sweetest woman, she also really listens to her clients' needs and delivered beyond our expectations. We are still waiting for the photos of our wedding to make it back to us, but you just have to take our word for it that it was a work of art. We told her our color theme and the rough vision we had for how the cake would look like. She blew us away with the end result. In terms of flavors, Amber invited us to her lovely cake shop for tasting; all of the flavors we had were delicious and gave us a really good idea of where we want to take our custom cake flavors. My husband was very specific with his request, and the resulting flavor Amber came up with was amazing. We had SO many guests come up to us to tell us after how delicious our cake was, it was incredible. Thank you Amber for everything, we can't wait to be back at your shop for some more sweet buns! read more

We worked with Amber for several months. One issue, is her lack of response to our emails. We had many questions, but it took forever in some cases to get answers, we always got some excuse as to why. Some of the things we asked for, she said "oh I can't do that" Really, you can not put pineapple in a simple cake? We ordered the main wedding cake and then two "kitchen cakes" We had several requests on the kitchen cakes but was told sorry not able to do that. Neither one of us were happy with the way they turned out. The carrot cake was very dry. The orange/blueberry cake, apparently blueberries were on strike that day cause in the entire cake, there were very few of them. Our main wedding cake turned out not to be as we wanted. We had requested a marble effect for the icing, it turned out just very light pink. There was to be berries with the honey vanilla bottom layer and there were none. It was to be decorated with greenery and small roses, instead it was with roses and one small piece of greenery. The cake was delivered at 11, pulled from the refrigerator at 12, cut at 2 and it was still frozen. We broke the handle on our handmade knife, trying to cut the cake. We had very high expectations in our 3 cakes, and was truly disappointed in them. The cakes were barely eaten by any of our guests. My husband visited her Instagram page and found her to be very vulgar. My husband said had he found that out up front, we would have never used her, sorry very unprofessional. Want to act like that, create a private account, not your business one. We paid the total amount up front, which goes totally against what my husband does, but I talked him into it. We paid Amber more for the cakes, than we did to have wedding catered. All we can say, be very careful if you use Amber, you might not get what you think you are paying for. And no, the cakes were not cheap. The sad part, you can pay just as much for a poor job as your can for a good job. Gary and Mary Wells Sept 18, 2022 read more
