They have Awesome Cupcakes and Cookies. I've tried plenty but my favorite is the Bananas Foster Cupcake. They make the best Creme Puffs I have ever tasted!

My mom was absolutely surprised to see her cake. Sarah did an excellent job making all the detail to this amazing cake. My mom loves to sew and when she saw the cake she said it was beautiful. Also the guy at the front counter was wonderful putting the cake gently into box and gently taping it. Thank you American Dream Cake for making today special.

We ordered a lemon cake with lavender and lemon flavored frosting. The frosting didn't taste like it had any lavender at all. We tasted a hint of lemon. The cake itself was of excellent quality. I did ask when picked up my order of the cake had lavender flavoring and was told it did. I don't know what happened to the frosting other than that service was great. I paid for it well I'm advanced. What went wrong?

Would 1000% recommend American Dream Cakes! They were very easy to coordinate with. They had a GREAT gallery of cakes to choose from and allowed us to customize what we wanted. They were up front about the pricing and even make recommendations for ways we could stay within our budget. But most importantly.it was an AMAZING cake. Damn near everyone at our event commented on how good the cake was. Delicious!
