There comes a time in a boy's life when he must step up to the plate and become a man. For me that day was October 7th. I married my sweetheart with much fanfare, love and cake. While planning the wedding, I hadn't given much thought to our cake and fortunately I didn't have to. I knew of Artisan Cake Company through a friend and figured I'd give them a shot. We met with Liz and went over a few basic color schemes and ideas for our cake, but left most of the design up to her and basically forgot about it until the day of our wedding. We could have never dreamed up the beautiful cake and cupcakes Liz made for our wedding. Everyone in attendance was completely floored by the exquisite detail and intricacies of it all. From fondant to filling, the cake was divine! Liz was completely professional, prompt and polite through all of our dealings and the cake she created ended up being a centerpiece to our wedding. Liz is an extremely talented artist and I highly recommend Artisan Cake Company to anyone that is looking to get married or likes to celebrate life. Artisan Cake Co. has taken cake to a whole new level in my book. Do not hesitate to give them a call! read more

Getting ready to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary, my wife and I decided to throw ourselves a celebration complete with re-committment ceremony, open bar, dancing and a fancy cake. We chose Artisan Cake Company because of Liz's impressive portfolio and obvious love for what she does. We gave her some pretty vague and generalized ideas for the cakes and hoped for the best. When the cake was delivered, we could not believe what a fantastic job she had done. She incorporated just about every element that we had requested and turned our ideas into a beautiful (and delicious!) representation. Speaking of delicious...Liz made both Red Velvet and Spice cakes for us and my wife and I were both astounded at the texture and flavor of each variety. Going into the process, I had feared that we would have to choose either taste or presentation but, with Artisan Cake Company we were able to get the very best of both! read more

Artisan Cake Company is my go to company for anything cake! The very first time we used them was for our wedding cake. We were blown away by the end product as well as the professionalism and great communication. I honestly believe we would not have had such a great experience or cake from any other company in the Portland area. We have since gotten birthday cakes, anniversary cakes and most recently our gender reveal cake from Artisan Cake Company. Every time Artisan exceeds expectation on design, taste and professionalism. I refuse to go anywhere else! If you are hesitating because of the bad reputation that fondant has, you really shouldn't be. Their fondant not only tastes delicious but it really helps raise the bar on design. I only recommend Artisan Cake Company! Nobody else even comes close! read more

Artisan Cake Company recently made an INCREDIBLE cake for my husband's 40th birthday. Amazingly, all of our correspondence was either by phone or email - we never met in person or sampled cake in advance. Quite a gamble but we can't say enough good things about our experience! The creativity, professionalism and attention to detail were top notch, the cake was beautiful - well constructed with many many details - and it tasted awesome. Plus it was flawlessly delivered to a location almost an hour from Portland ... our guests all raved over it. It was hard to believe it was cake with how beautiful it looked! It is clear the philosophy of this company is to under promise and over deliver. We were truly amazed and would recommend Liz and Artisan Cake Company without a moment of hesitation. read more

I've used Artisan Cake Company for birthdays, anniversary toppers and have experienced nothing but amazing quality, in both the taste of the cakes, as well as the quality of work and communication! Its the reason I keep going back! If you've never tried fondant, or "think" you don't like it, you absolutely HAVE to try theirs! I cant even explain how delicious these cakes are, besides how amazingly gorgeous they are! I had her make me two toppers for my parents 30th Anniversary cake. She got the character of my parents nailed perfectly and they were elated when they saw themselves in Fondant form! I highly recommend if you want a "wow cake" AND one that tastes incredible on top of it, you have to go here!! read more

The company I work for recently ordered a Robot cake from Artisan Cake Company. We found them by just doing a local search on the internet, and what a wonderful result! Elizabeth's work was AMAZING to say the least. The Robot was so detailed and I am in awe of the time it must have taken to add all of the structural supports. The cake itself was super moist and delicious. I was a little leery of trying the fondant, as I have never really liked any before. But let me tell you, Elizabeth's recipe is fantastic! It wasn't greasy or too sweet; it was perfect. Definitely my favorite fondant experience by far. I will not hesitate to recommend the Artisan Cake Company to everyone I know! read more

I have had the pleasure of having Artisan cakes at many of my own and my friends' special events. The owner, Elizabeth, is kind, attentive, professional and not to mention TALENTED! I am blown away every time by her creations. And of course, her cakes are always uber delicious (though I admit I'm always torn because as much as I want to eat the cake I want to look at it too. Having used Artisan almost since the companies inception I have recommended them over and over again and have never had, nor heard any complaints so I will continue to recommend and praise them. Everyone is always more than satisfied. Elizabeth goes above and beyond. Thanks! read more

Wow... wow... wow... If you want a cake that will wow everyone at your event and be the centerpiece of your party then this cake company is the best! Liz is so creative, I have had her make all three of my sons birthday cakes, the first two I was blown away at the level of detail, these are truly artisan cakes, 3 years later and people still ask me about them. Recently she made my youngest son's first birthday cake, a Dr. Suess themed cake and I could not have been more pleased with the results, it was whimsical, colorful and delicious. Thank you Liz so much for making our sons birthdays so special and I can't wait for the next one!!! read more

Very disappointed with liz, did a class with her and during the class photos were taken all day long and we were promised class notes, we waited months for the notes only to get sent links to videos that were not of the class we did but similar that were already available online and a video of a tutorial that was also released on her sugar geek show that cost a whole lot less than the class. Very poor form Liz and to top it off she was too busy periscoping during class and not enough attention on her students. Would not recommend wasting your money with her classes, Avalon Cakes are more thorough and provide better direction. read more

I'm a Portland- based photographer, and I recently did a Valentines Day inspired shoot with a few models and several different vendors. Artisan Cake Co designed a cake especially for my shoot, and did a fabulous job! It was a gorgeous ombre-inspired cake with white and pink hearts, and everybody absolutely loved it. We got so compliments on the design! Liz, from Artisan Cake Co, was such a joy to work with; prompt, kind, and loved the fact that she was excited to help us out! Thank you again Artisan Cake Co! -Rachel Peterson; RP Imagery read more

I thought that searching for someone to make my wedding cake would be stressful, but as soon as I went to my tasting with Elizabeth from Artisan Cake Company, I knew that this was where I would be getting my cake. She was so professional and easy to work with. And the cakes she brought to the tasting were absolutely amazing. She was willing to work with my small budget and had no problem with me buying sheet cakes from a different place. My cake ended up being so beautiful and tasty. Everyone was complimenting it. read more
