    Amanda created a beautiful and incrediblly delicious two tier, two flavor cake for our son and his wife to celebrate their recent marriage. Amanda was flexible, creative, very responsive and easy to work with in this process. I cannot imagine anything better than working with her and I highly recommend her services!

  • She was amazing!

    Uncommon Cakes was the perfect choice for our wedding desserts! From the beginning, communication with Amanda was easy, responsive, and accommodating. She made sure we were happy every step of the way, offering an extensive list of cake and cupcake flavors. Amanda was the perfect addition to our wedding day - her attention to detail and willingness to customize flavors made the desserts a huge hit with our guests. The quality and taste of the cake and cupcakes were amazing, and we couldn't have asked for a better vendor to work with. Highly recommend Uncommon Cakes for any couple's wedding day!

  • Perfect cake and cupcakes!!

    Caleb and I were OBSESSED with our wedding cake!! I have a huge sweet tooth, and while some girls dreamt of their wedding dress, I dreamt of my cake. We went with a cutting cake (champagne wildberry), and his and her favorite flavor of cupcakes (creme brulee and strawberry matcha). We were drawn to work with Amanda after seeing the incredible and unique flavor choices she offered. We were able to do a tasting of a few different flavors, which Amanda was so helpful in organizing! The worst part was having to choose a flavor and not have one of everything! Our cake was beautifully decorated, in addition to being delicious!

  • Perfect Cupcakes! Literally none left!

    Uncommon Cakes was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, their communication was prompt, professional, and thoughtful. They were extremely accommodating, working with us to create a custom order that included both a small bride-and-groom cake as well as an assortment of delicious cupcakes in so many unique and delectable flavors. Uncommon Cakes truly went above and beyond, always double-checking to ensure we were happy with every detail. The end result was nothing short of stunning - their cakes are not only beautiful, but people literally could not resist them. People kept asking if it was time for cake yet, and there were quite literally not cupcakes (or bridal cake!) left at the end of the day. We are so grateful to Uncommon Cakes for helping make our special day that much more memorable.
