Top Tier Treats has become a go-to for our family, especially when we need desserts that…read moreaccommodate dietary restrictions. They are fantastic with vegan options, which makes celebrations and gatherings so much easier and more inclusive for everyone. We order from them regularly and the quality is consistently great. The red velvet cake is well done and very flavorful. It is not my personal favorite, but my family absolutely loves it. Their carrot cake is wonderful and perfectly balanced, and the German chocolate cake is another standout that always gets rave reviews. One detail I really appreciate is that they always add beautiful fresh flowers to the cakes. It is such a thoughtful touch and makes everything feel extra special and elevated. Overall, Top Tier Treats is reliable, accommodating, and delicious. A great option when you want desserts that everyone can enjoy.

Kat is amazing to work with. She's so creative and her creations are so delicious. I may have a…read moresweet tooth but i don't enjoy desserts that are overly sweet or cloy. It's always a huuuuge compliment when we say something along the lines of "it's good, not too sweet." Because at the end of the day we want to be able to taste the flavors of the cake not the sugar. Anyway, Kat is always patient and works with me in creating new flavors she has yet to work with. I told her I had something delicious, described the flavors to her, and she was able to recreate it!! Imagine having tasty, beautiful cakes that not only feature new and creative flavors but also don't cost an arm and a leg. I almost want to gatekeep, but Kat deserves so much more and I hope more people can experience her magic. My all time favorite are the pumpkin spiced cupcakes with a special request of less sugar in the frosting. My sister and I look forward to it every year and the ratio of frosting to cupcakes is perfect. I can easily take on a dozen cupcakes for myself. Pro tip: order a couple extra dozen and freeze them for year round treats, because these are seasonal!!

Being aware of…read moreShantal's talents in both baking and engineering, the only two requirements that we gave her was that the cake had to incorporate the mad-hatter theme of the party and that it had to be spectacular. We met with her twice and she provided wonderful ideas for creating design elements within the ballroom to compliment the cake. From our initial inquiry through the follow-up that she did after the party, my wife, our guests and the birthday girls were completely in awe. Thank you Shantal for providing our niece with a memory she will cherish for a lifetime.
