Bluebird Confections & Creations

Finding local bakers has been one of the positives of the pandemic. When larger bakeries closed, people in the community began to share their secrets for finding delicious treats. This cake, a Strawberry Shortcake fan girl's dream, was posted and I strongly recommended to my husband that I needed it, and not in another 8 weeks for my birthday. In a couple of days it showed up ... magic! The cake's frosting was a strawberry sour cream and mixed generously between the layers. The cake had a soft texture, really moist and flavorful. It was rich and a heavier treat so it lasted a few days for us to nibble on. A couple of weeks later my husband realized he hadn't prepped well for his moms birthday. He called to ask if any cupcakes were available and was lucky enough to secure a half dozen, boxed and with a bow. Lots of delicious and unique cakes available (orange creamsicle, strawberry margarita, keg lime), beautifully decorated cupcakes, brownies with or without frosting, cookies and more. Payment was easy via PayPal. Pick up is flexible. The owner is very responsive and just released her website. I can't wait to pick up my Derby pie on Oaks morning.

Bluebird makes the most adorable cakes and desserts. We've also gotten their hot chocolate bombs. She is so inventive and her concoctions are delicious. I appreciate her prompt communication and speed of being able to have it ready!

Ordered for Thanksgiving. Received a last minute call she was running behind. Give her a pass and said I'd get something another time if she's so behind. A Month later reschedule my original item and add on another thing. Again when I'm about to head out to pick up, I get a text that they need more time. Made arrangements to pick up later in the day since I had somewhere to be. Message a few times, no response. Call, no answer. Next day, no response. Next day, no response. Found others online she ghosted as well. I've now been blocked on Facebook. We have other mutual friends, she's alive, just fixed chili yesterday per her posy, so no tragic event that caused her to go silent. Just scamming. Put credit card dispute in with my bank and with Square that she uses for credit card transactions. We shall see. Have her address and phone number. Dumb way to run a scam.

RUN!!! I am another victim of Katie and Bluebird Confections and Creations. She totally scammed me for my daughter's wedding. We were having only appetizers and met several times in person to plan an incredible menu, multiple texts to confirm, had a contract...no detail was left unaddressed. Biggest day of a person's life and all. This was at a very nice venue, live band, not an small affair. She took thousands of dollars from us, was scarce the week leading up to the wedding to the point that I had to ask her on Thursday if I needed to look for another caterer! She finally showed up at 4:30 PM for a reception that started at 6 PM with NOTHING prepped. The wedding planners had to be in the kitchen skewering and plating- which threw off everything else. She didn't even bring spoons or serving pieces! She left without paying the servers, didn't settle the facility fee with the venue and took my personal serving piece that I had lent. She was contracted to bring food for 200 with all quantities listed for every app. We ran out of food quickly, and she told the planner it was only for 160. Lies are too numerous to count. Turns out, she borrowed $400 from her dad to make what little she brought- to feed 200 people. It ruined the entire night for me and I will never get that back. She has deposits for 4 events that I referred her for and isn't returning any calls, texts, nor answering her door. I was a fool and trusted her and paid via Venmo. The others paid with credit cards so they may get refunds but not sure. She has just taken down her website in the past few days so hopefully no one else gets scammed. Her prices sound great because she has NO intention of delivering what she has promised.

Do Not Have Business with Bluebird Confections & Creations Owner: Katie Holnagal or Katie Hanson‼ I ordered and PAID for a bday cake for my sons bday party, she messaged me the morning of with a sad story that I believed, gave her the benefit of the doubt, had plenty of patience and understanding (even know she had no sympathy at all for my son/her customer.. it was all about her!) It has now been a week and she keeps ignoring me, she WONT refund me MY MONEY, she wont answer my calls, keeps deleting my comments/messages and now has blocked me! Who in the world would want their business to look bad instead of simply refunding the money?! All I simply want is my money back! Very unprofessional and bad for business! I guess I will have to go to her place of business to speak with her in person since she keeps ignoring me! There are tons of comments, posts and reviews of here scamming people w/ proof not just me! And Katie Holnagal you can block me, but you can't block all my friends and family that I could have post all over social media if I choose to! Would everyone please take a minute to call/ text (502) 220-2225 and thank her for being so lovely and professional

Its good, if she has the time. She keeps things clean, and organized things would be better!

I placed an order for over $150 for the holidays that I never received. I had received confirmations of the orders and in a previous conversation she acknowledged them. She told me her electricity went out and she would call me when it was ready. I never received a call nor has she contacted me in any way to make the situation right. She basically kept my money and provided nothing in return. I do not recommend her at all, especially paying her in advance.

I ordered the strawberry cake and the key lime pie for a birthday party. The cake was huge, it looked great and tasted even better. The pie tasted better than I could have imagined. The owner was very easy to work with and super nice. The prices are incredibly low, and the taste was amazing! I recommend this place to anyone that wants a cake or pie, she blows the big companies out of the water!

Ordered christmas eve desserts on 12/15. Arrived at her home at agreed upon time to find out my order was not ready. She promised delivery that day. I texted many times that day with no response. Finally responded around 7 pm to let me know it wasnt coming at all. I was having 12 people for dinner and had no desserts. If she wouldve said that is wasnt happening earlier, I could've made other plans. Insult to injury, she never refunded my money and had to file a claim with my bank.
