Used Cake Couture for a Corporate event - while Brie was very swift on communication and the treats were great there we a few things ignored.
Asked for finger foods (specifically the mini wraps and donuts requested): the wraps were full size and the donuts were HUGE. Very hard to eat during a networking event where you are doing more talking than eating.
Late Arrival+Late Set-up=Late Event: Brie wasn't able to come for delivery which was a-okay. Her husband, very nice guy, came to set-up. The event started at 4PM and this was discussed with Brie before the event. Her husband arrived at 3:15 to begin set-up. He had a number of items to maneuver from his car to the actual event site. He did not have a cart to transport the ordered items and we had to request one from the venue. My team, as well as I asked him a number of times if he needed assistance with set-up because we realized he had a number of things to do and he continued to say "no". Welp, 3:55PM came and he still had a few things to do. Our guests started arriving at 3:30-3:45PM and we had to hold them in a room until the set-up was complete. My team ended up just jumping in to complete the set-up, so that we could start the event. That ran us 10-15 minutes behind schedule.
Ordered items missing: We ordered unsweet tea w/ sweeteners and it was missing. Some of our guests who were not able to drink sweetened lemonade were left witout a beverage option.
There were some positives. Our group enjoyed the set-up once completed. The cookies were great - the glitter cake pops were a big hit. Everyone loved the red velvet cake pops. While I would love to work with Brie and Cake Couture again, I'm unfortunately not able to continue the relationship, as it is important that event start times not be ignored. I host very high level coporated leader and the expectation is that everything is, for lack of better words, "on point". Thank you for everything, Brie and I hope this feedback is helpful.
3 years later and I tried their storefront - ordered the cinnamon bun cupcakes and the flavor was underwhelming. Taste nothing like a cinnamon bun. Regular butter cream icing with cinnamon and a cupcake that looked like it should have been better but taste just like vanilla. How can you go wrong? Next time Iād suggest making a vanilla cupcake with a cinnamon role...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreBrie at Cake Couture did my wedding cake. It was fantastic! It was several tiers high (someone called it a "city tower") and it was just gorgeous. She spent time with me to find out exactly what I wanted, and sketched it out for me as we talked. The cake itself was UNREAL! I hate going to a wedding with "vapid cakes" (pretty on the outside, nothing to offer on the inside); Brie's cake was anything but vapid! It was not only gorgeous on the outside, but super moist and tasty on the inside. I'm not a fan of fondant normally, but hers tasted great!
The true test of her cake is that it was wrapped in Saran wrap for us to take home after the reception, and we left it in the fridge for a week since we left for our honeymoon the next day. When we got home, we unwrapped the cake, expecting it to be dry and gross, but it was still incredibly moist and delicious! We ate on it for almost another week before having to throw it out!
This is a family owned business, and they truly care about their clients and quality of work. Please save yourself the time of running around town to taste average cakes, when you can go to Cake Couture to taste the best cake...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreAs a wedding planner with Pinnacle Affairs, I had the pleasure of working with Cake Couture, and I canāt say enough about how amazing their food and desserts are. The food was absolutely unmatchedāeach dish had the warmth and comfort of a genuine home-cooked meal, yet with a level of sophistication and flavor that truly elevated the entire event. Guests couldnāt stop raving about the dishes, and it was clear that every bite was crafted with care and attention to detail.
The desserts were equally impressive, with a beautiful and delicious cake that left everyone in awe. Not only was the cake stunning, but it also tasted just as amazing as it lookedāmoist, flavorful, and perfectly balanced.
Brie, the owner, is an absolute joy to work with. She is incredibly sweet, personable, and so easy to collaborate with, making the experience even more enjoyable. Her passion for what she does shines through in every aspect of the food and desserts she creates.
At Pinnacle Affairs, we canāt wait to work with Cake Couture again. Their exceptional food, beautiful desserts, and delightful service make them a true standout in...
