The Reviews

Written By: Natka McPherson

We had about 3 or 4 cake tastings in one weekend in October 2015. But we are so happy with our choice! The taste of the cake, icing, and filling were amazing. The cake was moist and fluffy. The buttercream was smooth. The cakes were about the size of a small pie. But they were so delicious. We had chocolate, almond, and cherry. We also decided to have white wedding cake with lemon curd filling and chocolate wedding cake with chocolate mousse filling. They were both wonderful. We couldn’t decide between the two cake flavors. So, we had a little bit of both. The cake was absolutely delicious. Our guests loved it. We couldn’t wait for our wedding day to have some more. Luckily, we had some saved for us. Right before the wedding, Tim (the owner) delivered the cake and set it up. It was beautiful! Thank you so much for such a delicious and beautiful cake. We will recommend you to everyone!

When my fiance and I decided to get married, we knew that we wanted to have a cake made by Dora. We looked around at a couple of other bakeries and just could not get excited about them. When we met with Dora, she was very personable and enthusiastic. Most importantly, her cakes are absolutely delicious! We were able to choose several different flavors and combinations of cake and frosting. Our favorite was the chocolate cake with chocolate fudge frosting. We also had a combination of almond and white cake with raspberry frosting, and chocolate and chocolate cake with chocolate fudge frosting. All of the cakes were moist and flavorful.

Dora did a wonderful job creating the image of two chocolate cupcakes on top of a piece of chocolate lace. The cake was exactly what I had envisioned. Our guests absolutely loved it! It was a great way to introduce people to Dora’s cakes. It is not easy to get people to try chocolate cake, but it is absolutely delicious!

I would highly recommend Dora to make your wedding cake. Her cakes are wonderful, and she is a very talented baker. We were more than thrilled with our wedding cake.

Cakes by Dora was recommended by a friend. I thought they would be too expensive, but was wrong! Their cake is sooooo good. We had the lemon and raspberry cheesecake layers, with a white cake middle layer (to get past the red velvet stigma). I normally hate red velvet, but it was fantastic! We had no idea what we wanted our cake to look like, but she sat down with us and worked out what we wanted, taking our theme and making something wonderful. The cake looked amazing, and tasted even better! Their cakes are worth every penny. We had a little trouble in the beginning because we got our name wrong, and were misfiring emails. But these people are so good that they got our name and email correct, and got back to us quickly. If you can’t tell by now, we loved them! Their cake is worth every penny, and they gave us more than we expected for our wedding! They even sent us home with samples of their cake!
