This is the cake I got.
I sent her a photo of one of our Variegated Albo Plants and her leaf design frosting matched it extremely well!
a golf themed birthday cake
Paying a little extra for flowers and strawberries was totally worth it.
This is the pic of what I requested to have made.
Wine box, molded wine bottle with grapes, cheese and crackers to accompany! All edible!

Everyone loved the creative paisley shape!
Last but not least, more proof of my emails and that I was never being unreasonable. I was only asking questions.

More information that proves that I was not upset
One year later, the cake was still as delicious as it was on our wedding day :)

Vivian made the cake for my son's 1st birthday and she nailed it! I gave her an inspiration photo and she made the cake exactly how I pictured it. It was reasonably priced as well, at $40. The cake fed 10 of us! Vivian was great at communication and the whole process was a breeze. I will be hiring her for any other parties I have that require cakes!

So pleased with my order! Throwing a baby shower where bees/honeycomb/hives are the theme. Vivian only needed a week notice for 30 cupcakes. They are beautiful and perfectly done for the theme! Will definitely use her on future requests! Give her a call!

Vivian was the first baker we met with when looking for a wedding cake for our October 2015 wedding--and the last. We went for a tasting with her and hired her on the spot. Looking through her portfolio, I was impressed by Vivian's range--she can rock a seven-layer white wedding cake with pillars and a fountain, and also create a colorful topsy-turvy carnival delight. She worked with us to create something elegant yet unusual for our fall brunch wedding, and we were thrilled.We had a two-layer paisley-shaped cake. One layer was chocolate raspberry chip (which you MUST try) and the other was French vanilla with lemon filling, all covered in vanilla buttercream tinted a pretty peach color. We asked for an informal, dynamic spackle-look to the frosting, and she delivered. She also created edible flowers and added chocolate-covered strawberries to complete the look. The cake looked beautiful and tasted delicious--I really appreciated that the frosting was not overwhelmingly sweet. It also froze well, so that it still tasted fresh after we got back from our honeymoon.Pricing was pretty good for a wedding cake; we paid about $225 for 40 servings of cake (though our caterer wangled more than that out of it), and that included delivery to KC and the flowers and strawberries. Vivian delivered it right on time to our venue and set it up quickly and beautifully. Everyone loved the cake.A great product isn't the only important thing when hiring a vendor--liking the person who performs the service is just as vital. Working with Vivian was great. She always answered the phone promptly, welcomed us warmly into her home for our tasting, and took copious notes about our likes/dislikes. She welcomed reference photos, weighed in with her professional opinion when asked, and really let us know that she is extremely competent as well as passionate about her job. Vivian takes obvious pride in delivering beautiful, fresh, yummy cakes, and effortlessly makes you feel at home while you taste and design them. I highly recommend Spectacular Cakes for your event--you'll be just as delighted by Vivian and her cakes as we were.

She did an amazing job with my son's 2nd birthday party cake. It was a construction site and it turned out much better than the picture that I gave her. She was great to communicate with and I did everything over the email with easy payment option via email. I strongly recommend her and She will be our to go person for every occasion.

Very dissatisfied with the results of the cake, attention to detail is lacking. It seems as if the cake was rushed. This is a big day for the family and expected that the cake would resemble the drawing. It's a one layer...I based the decision to order from you based on reviews and passed designs. The spelling of the name is wrong as well Disappointed to say the least!!!!!!

Three calls were made and Vivian was the choice hands down. She created this awesome birthday cake(Wine box with cheese, etc) for a dear friend, from pics sent to her. Vivian's phone, email and in-person demeanor never wavered during contact and she answered all of my many questions while maintaining professionalism. The chocolate butter cream cake was Super delicious. The Birthday lady, family and friends enjoyed the presentation, but most of all the taste of the cake. It was so light and moist! Vivian is a keeper!! Will definitely order from her again.KG

Thank you Vivian for a beautiful and delicious cake for my wife's 40th birthday. Everyone lived the cake. Vivian replicated a beautiful 3 tier that I found from found google searches. Bottom tier was chocolate with mocha, and navy blue rosettes, middle lemon with a lemon curd and raspberry filling and the top was German chocolate. Everyone loved it and took some home! Thank you Vivian!!!!
