I've found out the hard way that it is actually quite difficult to get a great custom cake made. You need someone who is reliable, makes delicious and beautiful cakes, and knows how to work well with people. Chris has all of these attributes. He goes above and beyond for his customers. Our cake and cupcakes were DELICIOUS. The kids and adults both enjoyed everything which is also rare. The cake was so moist and the icing was the BEST. My husband said it's by far the best cake he has ever had. We finished almost the entire cake in one afternoon! A truly amazing experience.

Working with Chris to create a custom birthday cake was a dream. He took my rambling idea and built it into a masterpiece. Totally nailed it, top to bottom it was built with the birthday boy in mind. A dream to work with, Chris was flexible about communication since it was for a surprise party and very patient as we worked through different options. He takes so much pride in his work and his excitement over your cake is infectious.
That pride shined through with the actual final product. It was a perfect, beautiful and deliciously tasty cake, and the second biggest attraction (after the birthday boy himself) at the party. Highly recommend getting a cake from Chris if you want to 'put the icing on the top' of your party! You will NOT be disappointed. He's got a loyal customer forever here.
