Absolutely delicious wedding cake and cupcakes. Got many compliments from our guests!

Kristen and her shop are amazing! The cake was not only a masterpiece outside, it was delicious inside. We will be ordering again and again from this shop.

The absolute best! Kristen has made three cakes for me over the years, and I am consistently blown away by her creations! Her cakes were absolutely beautiful, and taste just as amazing as they look. A true artist!

Simply amazing! Ordered a wooden shoe cake for my daughter's wedding shower. Beautiful. Not to mention the ease and speed of ordering it all! Thank you!

I got a cake for a friend's birthday. It was a quarantine birthday so I knew she wasn't going to have a party or anything so I wanted her to have a nice cake. Most of these cakes were so big (which would make sense as they are usually for parties) but she worked with me and gave me the smallest cake and personalized it. I requested small details like an eiffel tower and a champagne bottle and requested that it was pink and she made magic. The cake was moist and the frosting was delicious. Everything on the cake was edible except the flowers. It was really beautiful and my friend seemed super excited and happy ?. She also said how good the cake tasted. I would love to order from her again, she did a beautiful job.

You guys seriously outdid yourselves. The cake was gorgeous, guests could not stop taking pictures of it but in top of that it tasted AMAZING. It was moist and flavorful and we got a ton of compliments on it. Thank you for helping to make my husband's 40th birthday truly memorable.

I found Kristen thru a mommy group I am in because my prior cake person cancelled on me 48 hours prior to my sons 1st birthday for a fondant cake! Talk about a panic! She immediately got back to me & said she would help me! I was so thankful! AND THE BEST PART - they delivered it and set it up for me (huge help). Not only was the cake SO adorable and exceeded my expectations but it tasted so good (very moist)!

Kristen did our wedding cake. Not only did she recreate the cake of my dreams, down to every finite detail, the cake was also the most delicious cake I have ever eaten!

Kristen is a dream to work with and her cakes are not only beautiful but also delicious. She has made several cakes for me and each one has been exceptional! Can’t wait for my sister’s wedding to see the cake that you will design.

Kristen’s cakes are not only works of art - she can do anything. But they are super delicious and moist. So many options and everyone raves. She is pure joy to work with and a master baker and artisan. I can’t rave about her cakes enough.

Kristen's cakes are true works of art. Each cake is more beautiful than the one before--she can create anything your heart desires. And the cakes are delicious. I'm a big fan of the banana cake with salted caramel buttercream. I've ordered several cakes from Kristen and have never been anything but pleased. I will definitely be getting my next wedding cake from the Purple Tulip!
