“discovering Williamsburg Brooklyn in the early 90s - you found out about it before the rest of the world caught up. I was looking for a fun and yummy cake for my husband's 40th birthday so a friend of a friend recommended Allie. Checked out her Instagram (@bigdaysmallbudgetcakes), everything looked super cute, so I DMed her and told her only a few things - that my husband *loves* LEGO, tart flavors, and cheesecake. Pause... then Allie laughed and said "I know exactly what I'm gonna do" in this fun mysterious way.
So forward a few weeks when she brought the surprise cake to the party, and YES, home. run. Allie baked a 4x2 LEGO brick cake (YES), with light sea blue frosting (his favorite color), a raspberry and cheesecake filling (he loves berries and New York Cheesecake), with a light fluffy interior that was *perfect* for a super hot BBQ day. His eyes lit up when he saw the cake, and it was sooo cute to watch him cut the cake together with our daughter for his big birthday.
Just as awesome as the cake, was Allie herself. I immediately felt her positive energy and brightness when I talked to her on the phone. Meeting her in person was no different (she delivered it herself!!). Allie and her cake is one of those things where you taste it and you look up at her (with half-chewed cake in your mouth) and say "Holy crap, this is *amazing*, you gotta do your own thing one day!!".
I can't wait to have another event to hire her for another fun and amazingly looking and tasting cake.
Don't hesitate, hire. Allie!”
