We also had a 8inch Round Strawberry Cakes with Lemon Butter Cream. Everything was DELISH!!! Bridal Shower: 6-25-16I hosted my Bridal Shower with 12 of my close friends and family.

Ella was great to work with! Very easy to talk to, patient, helped inspire me and come up with a unique design for our special day. Her cakes were the lightest cakes I've ever tasted, and delicious! I can't wait for our big day and glad they'll be our Baker!There was no pressure and her prices were excellent! I'd recommend in a heart beat!

Ella and Curtis really are a dream team when it comes to cakes for any occasion. If you are interested in a beautiful and delicious cake, I suggested doing what I did and perusing Celestial Cake's Instagram page (@thecelestialcakery). It was impossible for us to choose a favorite cake on their Instagram page. We used the Celestial Cakery for my nieces 6th birthday cake. The flavor suggestions and design ideas sounded excellent for my niece who is currently obsessed with Disney's princess "Moana". The celebration was set for Friday around noon, and as promised, Curtis delivered the cake in a personal cake cooler on Thursday evening. Of course, once the cake was settled on our kitchen counter, I had to have a look at the cake. It was stunning! Not only was it a gorgeous cake, it smelled delicious. I kept catching hints of the salted caramel flavor from our living room. The next day at the party, the cake tasted just as amazing as it looked and smelled. I would recommend the Celestial Cakery to anyone looking for an amazing cake with a professional and courteous experience with Ella and Curtis. Thank you both so much!

We had our first cake tasting with Ella and never had to go to another as we knew right away that we were going to go with Celestial Cakery! We had a small two-tiered wedding cake and a dessert bar full of mini pies, macaroons, cake pops, mini cupcakes, and pumpkin pie shooters that all of our guests loved. For our rehearsal dinner, I surprised my now husband with a Grateful Dead themed grooms cake, and they knocked it out of the park. You won't regret choosing Ella and Curtis.

I found Ella in a Facebook group and I am so glad I did!! She made our groomsman cake and cupcakes for the rehearsal dinner night, and our wedding cake and cupcakes for the day of! Her flavors are AMAZING! She is punctual and was on top of everything!! Everyone loved all of the flavors we chose (4 total). We had some cupcakes left over so we took them home with us. They were gone within two days! Super easy to work with and is on top of all trends, but is also great with classic and timeless cake styles! Would definitely recommend her!

Ella a has been nothing but responsive and listened to all my concerns. She has been nothing but helpful finding the perfect combination for our special day. The cake tasting was the best experience I had yet with a baker. She answered every question I had. My taste buds have gone to new levels with her amazing knowledge of pairing flavors and fillings. Every cake I tried was made to perfection; very moist and well balanced to the last bite. I highly recommend anyone looking to have a custom cake made for any special occasion . -Ruta-

After reading great reviews about this place I called over a weekend and ended up leaving a message. By mid-week I had not got a phone call back from them so I called to inquire about ordering a graduation cake and asked appropriate questions one would ask when ordering a $60 cake to feed 8 ppl. After about 5 minutes of talking with the proprietor, he told me my best bet would be to go to Suarez. Whaaa?? We only wanted a tasty, simple cake without decoration and the owner turned me away stating they aren't set up to sample for smaller orders. They make cakes all day and yes, a small sample of almond cake could have been arranged. If they're in the business to solely make wedding cakes because it is more profitable, that is certainly their prerogative but their website should say as much and maybe take off pictures of birthday and graduation cakes they currently have on there so as not to mislead customers into believing they would like your business. My money is just as green as anyone else's and so it will go to Suarez as the owner suggested.
