My husband and I got married this past September. We were directed to Christina based upon the size and location of our event - due to her minimum pricing Blue Box is not an option for small weddings but was perfect for our medium size guest count (just over 100). When meeting for our tasting, we went with the more extravagant 8 flavor option as my husband is a chocolate fan but I am not...this was well worth the price as we got 8 mini cakes to try which meant plenty to take home and enjoy over the weekend! Christina won us over with her flavors and enthusiasm, she provided some off the menu suggestions for mixing and matching sponge and fillings which was awesome. Ultimately, we settled on a mix of a traditional wedding cake (we were so pleased to get more than one flavor choice), along with a smaller gluten free cake and a number of sweet treats to appeal to a wide range of dietary restrictions and palates. When it came to design, Christina was very attentive to our inspiration photos/vision but also mindful of our budget as sugar past dahlias are not easy or inexpensive! When we discussed incorporating our dogs, she had a vendor lined up to make figurines and took care of the ordering process once we provided her some photos. Ultimately, she knocked it out of the park both with appearance and taste! I am hopeful that she waives her fee minimum in the event we want a one tier anniversary cake (-: read more

It's been 4 years since my wedding, and I STILL get comments on how good my desserts were! Just this last weekend was my sister in laws birthday, and ever since she's been trying to recreate the chocolate peanut butter crunch cake at my wedding but nothing has hit the spot, and my other sister in law we gave some of the leftover marionberry panacotta and told me she treated every single one she ate like gold. My only gripe is that I would LOVE to order that cake again to surprise my SIL with, but alas due to the order minimum I probably won't be able to make it happen. Totally understandable as Christina is rightfully thoroughly booked with bigger orders. read more

I heard incredible things about this place and was excited for the possible collaboration for my big day! At first it seemed great until I mentioned wanting cupcakes, or another dessert for children. I get liability, but continuously not once but twice saying we're not a good fit. Honestly I would have been willing to forgo cupcakes and just have cake if the customer service and simple human interaction skills were there. Can't unfortunately recommend them. But hope this can be used as a learning tool. You have beautiful work, I hope one day your drive and customer service can match. read more

I've been following this bakery for a while on Instagram and I love the creativity in their designs. I met Christina the pastry chef and owner and we reviewed wedding cake options. She was incredibly nice and professional. She had baked three gf nut based cakes with a thin buttercream layer so I could visualize the naked cake design I want. The cakes had a nice refreshing taste with local berries. They were also a really good size making my tasting fee of 20.00 well worth it as I was able to take a lot home. My favorite thing about the meeting was that Christina actually drew out my cake and used colored pencils so I could visualize what it would look like. No other place did that and I really appreciated her personalizing a picture for me to help me visualize the results. I really enjoyed her and her professionalism. It is also great that she offers gluten free baking. Excellent local bakery read more

We loved our cake for our wedding from Blue Box! It was beautiful, unique and most of all tasted amazing!! Everyone was talking about the cake after the wedding and how great it was. Christina was very communicative, friendly and even delivered and setup the cake herself! We tasted others and nothing even remotely compared! We also got a small gluten free cake for our guests and everyone raved about how amazing it was! read more

We hired Christina for our wedding after I spent months trying to find someone that not only makes great cakes, but also offers more than just macaroons and cookies for a dessert bar. Our wedding was last week and Christina absolutely delivered! We ordered basically everything on her menu including 2 types of cake (classic vanilla, chocolate with peanut butter and banana), brownies, lemon tarts, 2 types of galettes, cheesecake, and panna cotta with rainier cherry compote. Everything was a major hit! We are lucky our planners saved us a box with some of each or we probably wouldn't have gotten to try anything (and we thought we overordered). The favorite was definitely the panna cotta (although I also loved the lemon tarts and my husband the brownies). Christina was so helpful in planning how much we needed and was extremely flexible as we changed our minds. We couldn't have asked for a better baker for our special day. read more

Our wedding cake from Blue Box was gorgeous and even better, it was delicious! Christina also did an assortment of late night desserts which were the hit of the party. Cannot recommend her (and her delectable creations) enough! read more

When I found BBB through Seattle Korean Weddings, I was super excited not only because the cakes look amazing, but because my fiancé and I have been trying to support local, women of color owned wedding businesses. After browsing the website, we immediately knew which cake we'd like to order so we requested to skip the tasting and go straight to placing an order. I'm not sure if this and our other requests were off-putting (we asked if there any specials available to stay within our budget), but Christina's responses gave us the feeling that she did not want our business. The last email we received ended with recommendations to other cake vendors. It was disappointing to have not been able to work with Christina. read more

As a local Wedding Planning company, we LOVE working with Christina! Her items are not only SO delicious, but she is a rockstar with design for her custom cakes and desserts as well. We have done several weddings with BBB, as well as shoots etc and each time she nails it! We can't wait to work more weddings with her, and will for sure highly recommend her to all of our clients! read more

I previously knew of Christina's baking through industry connections, so even though I knew we didn't want anything fancy, I knew I wanted to splurge on a cake from her for our wedding. This was hands down such a good decision. It was a plain single tier white buttercream cake with chocolate cake and salted caramel filling. Best cake I've ever had!! Her communication throughout the process was great and her caramel is AMAZING. There's a reason she's one of the top bakers in Seattle- she's an artist in styling, but the cakes also taste heavenly. Highly recommended! read more

Heard about this business from a client, and I was excited to call them about my upcoming wedding. We called to request samples and consultation. We were informed that they don't do samples and they are pretty much booked for the next few Saturdays. We attempted to inform them that our wedding was not until October and it was on a Sunday. That really didn't help. They insisted they were to busy and wouldn't listen to our request. Well I'm pretty sure, I can find another bakery with better customer service skills to take our Wedding Cake order. read more

We hired Christina to do the dessert bar at my daughter's wedding on the Hood Canal. Christina is a very talented baker. The bride and groom chose a Vanilla Cake, Bavarian Cream, Fresh Strawberries, Vanilla Buttercream cake. It was absolutely delicious. They also had Apple and Berry Mini Galettes, Sugar Cookies rolled in Pearl Sugar and Chocolate Pots De Cremes. Everything was to die for! Christina was very easy to work with. She answered all our questions immediately either by phone calls or emails. Thanks, Christina, for everything you did. read more

Normally I don't like writing yelp reviews , but I felt I need to write a review for this place. I follow the Instagram page and was in love with the cake designs and was looking forward to have my wedding cake made by them. I had an appointment set up for a cake tasting because I couldn't decide what flavor I wanted yet. We set the appointment 2 weeks out because that's when she was available . I live kinda far so it took me a little over 40minutes to get the the bakery and I waited over half an hour and she never showed up. I called and emailed and there was no response. She never showed up. I wasted 3 hours of my day for nothing. Super unprofessional , and I will be taking my business elsewhere . FOLLOW UP: the owner just responded to my review 5months later and is trying to make me feel guilty for giving her a one star. Not once did she call me back to apologize for no call and no show. I called her 3 times and no answer but I left voicemails. I did end up sending her and email but she doesn't respond until almost a week later. How can you trust someone with your wedding cake if they don't even bother showing up to the tasting? Yes it's unfortunate that the owners baby got sick but as a business owner you still have responsibilities to let your client know whether you're going to make it to the appointment or not. Not everyone can drop what they're doing and just go wait around for you. Instead of saying I'm being unfair and giving this business a one star how about the business take a step back and reevaluate how you treat customers? After wasting 3 hours of my time I am still being called unreasonable when I did nothing wrong here. Truly disappointing. read more

Blue Box Bakery went above and beyond with my wedding cake. The design was better than I imagined. It was the best wedding cake I could have ever wanted. We had a cake for us and our family and then cupcakes for the guests. The cupcakes were so good. I had to sneak several for ourselves. read more

Sea salt caramels = magic. Also Christina is the sweetest and everything she makes is crazy delicious.

Loving me some Blue Box! I've had all types of cookies, caramels, and pies and everything is amazing!

All the love for Blue Box Bakery! Whenever I've gifted one of their treats to friends or family, people *always* ask how they can order more. I'm so happy the bakery is expanding because I've tasted many of Chef Christina's delicious creations and am constantly amazed by the flavor, texture and quality she achieves -- along with her creativity from continually experimenting! She's a culinary genius, and anything you order for delivery arrives beautifully packed! read more

Happened by their soft opening for their new downtown Bothell location today. Ordered a vanilla and a chocolate macaron. Both were quite good. My husband ordered a snickerdoodle which he enjoyed as well. Looking forward to seeing how they expand over time. read more
