    Caleb and I were OBSESSED with our wedding cake!! I have a huge sweet tooth, and while some girls dreamt of their wedding dress, I dreamt of my cake. We went with a cutting cake (champagne wildberry), and his and her favorite flavor of cupcakes (creme brulee and strawberry matcha). We were drawn to work with Amanda after seeing the incredible and unique flavor choices she offered. We were able to do a tasting of a few different flavors, which Amanda was so helpful in organizing! The worst part was having to choose a flavor and not have one of everything! Our cake was beautifully decorated, in addition to being delicious!

  • Perfect Cupcakes! Literally none left!

    Uncommon Cakes was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, their communication was prompt, professional, and thoughtful. They were extremely accommodating, working with us to create a custom order that included both a small bride-and-groom cake as well as an assortment of delicious cupcakes in so many unique and delectable flavors. Uncommon Cakes truly went above and beyond, always double-checking to ensure we were happy with every detail. The end result was nothing short of stunning - their cakes are not only beautiful, but people literally could not resist them. People kept asking if it was time for cake yet, and there were quite literally not cupcakes (or bridal cake!) left at the end of the day. We are so grateful to Uncommon Cakes for helping make our special day that much more memorable.

    Uncommon Cakes was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding! From start to finish, their communication was efficient, consistent, and extremely helpful. We simply sent them a couple of inspiration photos and they worked with us to bring our dream wedding cake to life. On the day of, everything was set up perfectly and ready to go without a hitch. The cake itself was super delicious and sweet and everyone loves the pies. There were barely any leftovers for us to take home! We're so grateful to Amanda for helping make our special day even more perfect.
