Creative Cakes I found Tasty Cakes on yelp while searching for a bakery to make my sons birthday cake. I was impressed with the work that was presented online and wanted to patronize her business. The communication between us was fairly good with the exception of a blip when there was a family emergency. Kellie was pretty nice throughout the entire process but I did feel a little like I was bothering her with questions. I figured since I paid her $115 for a 8 inch round cake, that it was okay to make sure it was being made the way I envisioned. At some point, I went to the baking section at Michael's and looked at an 8 inch pan and thought it was super tiny. I inquired about how much it would be to make it 12 inches. I've read that she charges by the slice but I was hoping that she could cut me a deal but it didn't happen. She just said that it added 'x' amount of slices and will be an additional $55. No worries, it's a business and I completely understand. My total tab on this cake was $170. We threw a few ideas around but I gave her complete freedom to do as she wished. I'm usually hands on with everything but thought it would be nice to just let an expert do their jig. When my babies big day came, the cake was nice. It was detailed and a lot of work was definitely put into it. It was just not my personal cup of tea. Nonetheless, it was a good center piece. I ordered a bubblegum cake and I wish I didn't. When I first discusses flavors I asked about bubblegum and Kellie said that kids like it. I wanted something different so I thought it was a good choice. I only cut 20% of the cake and not one person ate a complete slice. I threw a majority of the thing away the next day. I was a little disappointed. One kid asked me what flavor it was & I said, "bubblegum." In which he replied, "Oh yeah, it tastes like bubblegum...with puke in it." I'm not blaming Kellie for my flavor choice but I would have appreciated some honesty. I suggest sticking to a normal flavor. Besides the taste, the cake wasn't very moist. I believe she started to bake on Thursday for my Saturday night party since she emailed me on a Wednesday stating that she was going to get started the next day. I know the giant (Jack the Giant Slayer theme) on top of the cake was made later because the color was more vibrant and the texture was a lot better than the main cake. This is a "cottage food" business and I really wanted to love it with all my heart. I just feel that it was a little pricey for the overall experience I had. Given the type of home based business it is, I wish she could have worked out a deal with me for a bigger sized cake. I guess I just have a chip on my shoulder because I could have ordered an amazing half sheet of scrumptious Haupia or Hawaiian Paradise cake from the notorious Kings Hawaiian bakery for under $50 if I were still in California. Tasty Cakes Cakery is a great local choice if you have the money to drop on a custom cake. Kellie does great work. If I were to do it differently, I would choose a better flavor, draw out exactly how I wanted the cake to look & ask if she could bake the cake the day before. I would have loved to meet her in person but we did everything through email, postal service to send payment, and text. She also asked if it were possible to change my drop off time because her husband was playing a game someplace and wanted to watch it, which was okay with me. I was just in school at that time, so my husband was there to receive the cake without me. Anyway, sorry for the novel. I just wanted to share my experience with my yelp community. Check her out and decide for yourself :) Solid 2.5 Stars rounded up to 3 for an A-OK experience. read more

Amazing cakes made by one woman! She is self taught and you would have thought she went to years and years of school. She made my graduation cake for massage school, my son's birthday cake this year, and I have eaten her delicious cupcakes. EVERYTHING was fantastic. She puts a lot of time and detail in to her pieces of art. I can tell she really enjoys what she does. Her prices are reasonable, especially for what you get. I will never order a cake from anyone else again. read more

I ordered a cake for my son's first birthday from Kellie. It was sesame street themed and it came out amazing! The elmo, cookie monster and big bird figures (that u could eat too!) looked exactly how they should and very realistic! The cake was so beautiful I felt bad cutting into it! I was able to make the different layers of my cake in different flavors and the cake was so moist and yummy! And there was plenty for everyone! I will definitly use Tasty Cakes for all my cake and cupcake needs! My overall experience was amazing and Kellie was very flexable and always kept in touch with me! And an awesome bonus is she delivers which made my sons party so much easier :) read more

I think that you eat first with your eyes, but the product still has to be tasty. Often, one of these is sacrificed for the other. Not with Kellie! She made an amazing cake for my son's 5th birthday. I have pretty high expectations, as I am in the food industry as well, but she far exceeded them. And, she is very reasonably priced. Kellie pays attention to every detail. There were so many little surprises on the cake, I was really impressed. Her skill is better than most professionally trained bakers. But, not only was the design perfect, it actually tasted great too! The cake was moist and delicious and the frosting was not overly sweet. I hate fondant, but she makes her own and I actually ate it! I usually have a little pile of fondant that I pull off the cake, but hers was delicious, I ate every morsel. Creative, talented, professional, imaginative, and most of all, just a very nice person. I know who is making our cakes for the future. read more

This past summer, my husband and I discovered Longmont's best kept bakery secret: Kellie of Tasty Cakes Cakery! Not only is her cake absolutely delicious, but her prices are so incredibly affordable! We were after an outlandish mountain wedding cake design and she not only understood exactly what we wanted, but she was more than excited to do it! She delivered exactly what she promised and the cake completely wowed our wedding guests. The Pastor even made mention of it during the ceremony! Never again will I be ordering a cake from anywhere else! She is personable and can tackle all of your needs whether it be a baby shower, child's birthday, graduation or wedding. She has a spectacular talent and we couldn't have been happier with our purchase. Thank you Kellie! read more

I ordered a Seahawks cake for my husbands birthday. The cake was so amazing and everyone thought that it was a center piece until I asked if they liked the cake. It was a huge hit of the party and notice cake was left at the end! It's was gobbled up fast. read more

Kellie just recently made our wedding cake, and we were so impressed! The cake was elegant and tasted amazing! Our guests raved about the flavor and many had second helpings. The thing I most appreciate about Kellie is her desire to make every cake the best she can...she truly listens to what you want and makes it a reality! I have Celiac disease and struggled for months to find someone who would make a partially gluten-free cake for me. I wanted one gluten-free tier and the rest normal for the other guests. Kellie is the only person in Northern Colorado that I found who could do this! In fact, many guests tried the gluten-free portion and said they couldn't even tell the difference! It made a huge difference to me to be able to cut and actually eat my wedding cake on my special day. I will be forever grateful to Kellie for this! read more
