Cakes on a Mission

I had a really difficult time finding a bakery to do my cake for my wedding in Las Vegas. I think it had something to do with my wedding being the day after Thanksgiving. Cakes on a Mission was actually recommended to me by the only other bakery who even responded to my inquiries. I was impressed.Cakes on a Mission also donates some of the proceeds from each cake to charity, another aspect of their business I was really impressed with.I've admitted before that I was completely not a bride-y bride for my wedding, and this carried over into my wedding cake. I really ordered a wedding cake b/c it was (for some reason) really important to my mom. And since I was dragging my family to Vegas for my wedding the day after Thanksgiving, and wasn't having the big wedding at home in Chicago, I gave in and decided to order a cake.See above, where this turned out to not be an easy process. Other bakeries just would not call/email/anything me back. But in swoops Christina from Cakes on a Mission, and she takes care of everything. She's obviously really passionate about what she does and (rightly) takes pride in her work. She was the only vendor in ALL my Vegas wedding plans that I didn't have to constantly hunt down. She contacted me, followed up, and (god bless her) put up with my lack of imagination and forethought re:wedding cake. She was awesome.We decided on a simple, classic, with Vegas themed cake. I chose red velvet cake with cream cheese filling for one layer and vanilla-bean with raspberry mouse for the other. The red-velvet was amazing, everyone said so. And the cake design was exactly what I wanted. Christina instilled so much confidence that I didn't really think about the cake, until we got to the reception and I was so happy to see it there waiting for us.I can't say how the vanilla bean cake layer was b/c its at home in the freezer. Yep, me, the girl who really didn't want to bother with the cake became so attached to it, that I had the top layer wrapped up, frozen, boxed, and shlepped it all through the rest of our trip, made it my carry-on, sat with it at the airport for 10+ hours of flight delays and finally got it home. My bridal shoes and bouquet were not this lucky.Oh and Christina was also the only vendor who followed up after the wedding, and was much appreciated.I loved this cake!

Cakes on a Mission by Christina is definitely As good as it gets!Christina made our wedding cake HER MISSION! What a beautiful, wonderful, and of course DELICIOUS cake and display. My wife and I were looking to have a unique cake for our wedding, preferably by someone whose product and expertise we knew that we could trust.When we were beginning to plan our wedding, someone suggested that we check out Cakes on a Mission and the products on their website/Facebook. We did and we were (obviously!) impressed. Once we talked to Christina about doing our wedding cake, she let us try an array of her signature cake and icing flavors. We took the samples home and wrapped up the next evenings dinner by taste-testing the cake combinations. The flavors just melted in our mouths! Wow. We knew we had to look no further for someone to bake our wedding cake!As far as cake design goes, Christina is more than adept at making any cake dream a reality. We were unsure of how we wanted our cake to look, but we knew that we wanted something that would exemplify our love for each other, our uniqueness, our relationship, and our commitment to serving God. (My wife and I have been doing a cross-country faith-walk as a witness for/commitment to Jesus Christ.) It wasn't until just about two weeks before our wedding day that we decided on our cake design, but Christina was still able to make it look EXACTLY as we wanted!! We chose the vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream icing for the base of the cake (the world) and the red velvet cake with cream cheese icing for our top tier (the bible) [see photo on storefront]. We told Christina what we wanted and approximately how many people we were expecting to attend and she BLEW OUR EXPECTATIONS OUT OF THE WATER! The cake we delicious, perfect, beautiful, and very sufficient for the amount of guests we had. In fact, there was almost no cake leftover after everyone had their second/third/etc. helping! What a blessing Cakes on a Mission was for our big day.(For proof of Christina's eye for design, definitely check out her website and the photos of our cake that I've uploaded to the storefront of this Yelp page. This is the first review on Yelp that I've written so I'm not exactly sure how you can access that... BUT I created a profile on here just to review this business. That just goes to show that I felt Cakes on a Mission was more than worthy of my recommendation and rating.)Her service, delivery, showcasemenship (think i just made up a word), promptness, communication, and kindness were impeccable. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.We recommend Cakes on a Mission to anyone and EVERYONE in the Las Vegas and North Las Vegas area planning any kind of party or celebration. Thank you Christina. You definitely helped make our big day a huge success.

I had a few cupcakes left 3 days after I bought the original dozen. They were still moist and the buttercream was still yummy. Happy tummy.

I was very disappointed with the lack of any service. I called a week before my daughter's birthday party, she told me to email her photos of what I wanted, a Minecraft Enderdragon cake and said she would get back with me, because 7 days was a short notice, she told me. I verified the email address, and sent the photos. No response via email or phone, she told me she would call me back at that phone # I called her from. I took care of the cake myself, and purchased the pans and all ingredients. I would not recommend this place. No cheer in her voice when she answered the phone, no professional greeting, and no respect. Perhaps this place is just too busy and has no need for any further growth of their business. But I would have appreciated her to not waste my time and not responding and calling me back as she said she would do.

Horrible experience and cake. I spoke to Christina and we agreed on what I wanted. The delivery girl showed up with something totally different. The writing on the cake was misspelled and was half the size I ordered. I called Christina and she argued with me over the phone about it and then wouldn't return my calls or answer her phone when I tried to get my $ back. She ruined our big day. Do not use her.

I ordered a cake for my birthday and had them deliver it. The cake was very moist and full of flavor. It was one of the BEST cakes I have tasted. Cakes On A Mission has a variety of tasty flavors. Whether you are having a kids party or a corporate event, Cakes On A Mission is a great place to order your baked treats.

Christina did an AMAZING job on my daughters first birthday cake. The details on the cake were executed perfectly! This would have to be the most beautiful cake I've ever ordered next to my wedding cake. Christina is extremely nice and easy to work with. She even hand-delivered the cake on time! I ordered a red velvet cake which was really dense but dry and lacked the rich red velvet flavor but the presentation of the cake made up for it. The best part is that a great portion of the proceeds go to charity! Cakes on a Mission is not only a great business but also an inspiration.

The cake maker Christina work with me and did a great job on my granddaughter birthday cake...And the delivery was early and on time. Will use them again.
