JodyCakes

Since going dairy and gluten free due to healthcare recommendations, finding a bakery who specializes in such cakes was a bit of challenge. We found Jody and her cakes did not disappoint! We had her make my 30th birthday cake and she did a phenomenal job with the style and vision I had, in addition to her having wonderful suggestions and helping me create my styled cake. She was such a pleasure to work with, and the cake itself was outstanding and oh so good. She is our baker for life for all future events!

Ordered a gluten-free carrot cake for my best friend's wedding shower (who has celiac) and it was absolutely delicious! Jody delivered the cake & decorated with our flowers beautifully. Best of all, the cake was incredible -- as a gluten lover myself, you would never even know it's gluten free!

I read good reviews on the cakes here . As a person with celiacs , I was excited to try the gluten free cake as she got good reviews . The cake was horrible , it was one of the worst gluten free cakes I have had . It was dry and tasted freezer burnt . The cake was Definitely frozen prior and not fresh . Would not recommend, I have had way better gluten free cakes elsewhere .

Jody did a great job for my custom GF vegan chocolate bday cake. She can do almost any design and custom makes the cake to whatever you want. You can pick up or get delivered. All of my friends didn't notice it was vegan or GF and devoured it!!! It was so good and the vegan buttercream was awesome Will be coming here for all future cake inquiries and sending all my friends Jody's way!! Excited for a continuous relationship with Jody.

Vegan birthday cake for my mom's 75th birthday. Amazing taste and awesome service. Great cake for my mother who has an egg allergy!

Jody cakes has done it again! This is a late post, but she created my daughter sweet 16 birthday cake in September and it was exactly how we wanted it. She delivered the cake to the restaurant where we were having a surprise dinner. She was prompt professional and everyone loved the cake. I highly recommend her services.

First time ordering a custom cake (in general) for a 3 year old's birthday so I wasn't sure what to expect. Originally inquired about cupcakes for his class (need to be purchased and not homemade) but then remembered belatedly that the school doesn't allow frosting so switched to a cake for personal consumption since we already went through the effort of talking about it over a week or two. I was THRILLED to hear there's a custom baker who accommodates special diets. THANK YOU!!My son is allergic to wheat, peanuts, most tree nuts, avocado, eggs, kiwi, and pineapple. We ended aiming for a gluten-free, vegan, 8-inch, 2 layered chocolate cake with vanilla frosting and sprinkles around the base. I mentioned not going too sweet, as we're used to Asian style birthday cakes or European if they're not homemade, but I knew that Jody makes American style cakes so I didn't have high expectations. If you don't know what Asian birthday cakes are, they're not that sweet. Two light sponge cakes with a whipped cream middle often with some other add in (fruit, taro paste, pudding [think flan], or even durian) and covered in a light whipped cream "frosting" and often topped with fresh fruit and hand lettering in red gel. As you can tell, not much room for food allergies - or much sugar - so I usually make his baked treats myself (and reduce the amount of sugar by 1/4 to 1/3) or, as I did in this instance, go to Jody. Communication was straightforward and easy. First through the website and continued via emails then phone calls and texts as pick up loomed near. Jody is great! She was professional and to-the-point but also flexible in regard to pick up, especially with a birthday on New Year's Eve. Listened to my ideas and didn't really suggest beyond that but that's fine. She has a bakery where you'll pick up from so she doesn't work out of a home kitchen (my sister once had a birthday where a friend bought a vegan cake from Jody a decade ago and she worked from home, or so I heard). She is BUSY though so expect some time between responses but she'll be more present as the deadline approaches.What I got looked great! Some of the piped frosting on top sort of went over the edge and there was no writing on top (I sort of thought it was a given but in hindsight, I remember her mentioning keeping it blank on top for candles and I agreed so maybe that's why it's blank? He's turning 3 though... no need for that much room. Hahaha), but no worries. No one else mentioned it.Now the cake itself! Jody mentioned the cake will be garbanzo bean (chickpea) based. The cake itself wasn't that sweet and I actually liked it. It is denser and the bean taste reminded me of certain Asian bean dessert pastes - that is to say it's not grainy like some GF baked goods/pastas can be. Which is great. Because my toddler hates grainy things. He ate the cake! Until he got the frosting and stopped eating it. He enjoys sweets (think dark chocolate) but the frosting might be the sweetest thing he's had in his life so far and he doesn't like things that are too sweet.The frosting is not in a thick layer at all, but it's so sweet. I know the ingredients of frosting and I know it's mostly powdered sugar but I forget many do use all the sugar (but it does hold its shape out of the fridge, so I'll give you that). LOL. Out of the 8 people there, 2 thought the entire cake was too sweet and heavy and couldn't eat more than 2 bites. My sister and I and a friend who are familiar with American sweetness levels were prepared with a cup of [oat] milk. The others only ate the cake part. In hindsight, perhaps I should have asked for a naked cake. Even so, I don't fault Jody. It's just a matter of taste and the fact we're not used to it. And, like I mentioned, I quite liked the cake (I often put a tiny chocolate chip sized bit of frosting on every bite) even though I'm not the biggest fan of Asian bean desserts, ironically. Excellent dunked in milk.I certainly recommend and I'm glad there's a place to go to for any baked good needs with someone with food allergies/special diets. It's nice to not make a birthday [cup/cake for once, so thank you for the break!

Placed order online. Email states to call to make sure there is availability. I call at 10:30am since google states office hours state open at 10am. Jody answers while in her car annoyed that I called wondering why I am calling when her email template instructs you to do so. The conversation does not get better as she is very unprofessional. Not sure cakes are good or not but there are other vendors that sell good vegan cakes that are more professional.

The Cakes are good by the owner is so complicated to deal with. the 1st time I ordered I just took as, ..well maybe she is just going through difficult time, let go, 2nd time, a year later came to the conclusion she is just a mean lady, She wouldn't work with you, is her way only, very complicated to deal, some of those people who just make everything difficult, no mater how easy things are, is may way only because I am the center of the universe and I am busy and stressed, well guess what everyone is LOL. So now I have a different provider who is nice and have great cakes. NO RECOMMEND BECAUSE OF THE OWNER's LACK OF CARE FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS.

GF red velvet cupcakes.....YUM! I tried JodyCakes based on the great reviews and I wasn't disappointed. Fresh, tasty GF baked goods are hard to come by. Reasonable prices, as well. So glad I found JodyCakes. She even delivers!
