The cake tasting was delicious! Allessa was very nice and worked with my daughter to bring her vision to life. They went a little over the budget I set so my only suggestion to anyone going for a wedding cake is to give the budget to Alessa up front, I didn't so that's on me. After my daughter was so excited about what they came up with I felt the little extra was worth it

Allessa created the most amazing wedding cake for our big day! We knew we were in good hands from the moment we had our first meeting + cake tasting with her, and we were not wrong. She executed our vision perfectly and even rolled with all the changes I made up until our day. Our guests raved all night about how good the three different flavors of our cake were and there wasn't a single slice leftover!
I've never been to a wedding where every guest ate a piece of cake + an extra, but Allessa's cake was an exception! It was so good, I'm still daydreaming about it. Definitely hire Kathy & Co. for your big day, you will be so thankful you did!

I cannot rave enough about how amazing of a job Kathy & Co. did on our wedding cake! This was the most beautiful cake I've ever seen and every tier was a different flavor that our guests raved about! I also appreciate how they wrapped the preserved our top tier for us so we can enjoy it on our anniversary! Would absolutely recommend them!

Cake was absolutely beautiful and was just like the images that I submitted. However, there was no flavor to the cake at all. If it wasn't for the icing, we wouldn't have been able to taste anything. Also, communication about pick up times wasn't clear. It's very telling that the owner's response was more focused on the hours of operation than the issue with the cake. They also disclosed my full first name.
From my past experiences with professional bakeries, the owner discusses available pick up times so a google business profile posting wouldn't matter. Had I not reached out, I wouldn't have even known that I needed to complete pick up by Friday. Oh well, I'll chalk this up to an expensive lesson learned. Hope other customers have better luck with their cake.

Omg! Went to the wedding festival today at the Hyatt and sampled several cakes but let me tell you none of them had anything on kathy & company's cakes! Literally every flavor was to die for! I will definitely be ordering my cake for my wedding and all my parties from kathy & company from now on! Even the gluten free options are amazing! Now just to choose the flavors that's gonna be hard because all of them are so good!

Kathy and Company made my wedding cake many years back and we decided to go with them for our sons first birthday! The range of flavors we were able to get were amazing and tasted absolutely delicious! We did Star Wars theme and Allessa did such an incredible job making his smash cake!
