I contacted her a few weeks in advance. I was traveling to Oregon from Texas to celebrate our girls' birthdays. I mailed her the toppers for both the cake and 15 cupcakes. She was quick to respond and said she would be able to provide free delivery within the bend area which was perfect because the party was in bend. She was super nice in providing additional cupcake toppers as I ordered 24 cupcakes but didn't have enough toppers. She really went above and beyond any expectations I had. Her prices were competitive in comparison to other bakers in the area but ultimately she was the one with the most reasonable prices. The payment process was super easy too! The cakes were a huge hit at the party and everyone kept asking where I got such beautiful cakes from. The buttercream was soo good and the chocolate and vanilla cake were good too!! If I lived in Central Oregon I would definitely continue to use Elevation Desserts for my custom cakes.

Back in October of 2019 we flew over to Bend (from FL) to check out some vendors, see our venue, +…read moredo a "tasting" with a very well known local bakery. Much to our disappointment, I arrived at the bakery to find 4 very dried out cupcakes, no one to assist me, + anything but a tasting. (Yes, we had discussed a tasting via email weeks in advance; they knew we were coming.) As we drove around waiting for our next appointment my mom stumbled on these same reviews for Crumb Cakery + emailed Tara. Although we were unable to meet her on that trip, my mom insisted that she "just [had] a good feeling about Tara" so we should come back once more before the wedding to meet her. Mother's intuition... Spot on!! In January, after some shifts to our wedding plans, we made a trip out to Bend + met with Tara for a tasting. THIS WAS A TRUE TASTING!! From trying out multiple combinations to being encouraged to create our own; not to mention how absolutely delicious everything was. WE WERE SOLD! To be honest, we had not even wanted a cake but the family had pushed us to get one. As life would have it after the tasting we were reluctant to pick a flavor so we ended up choosing two for the cake + designing an entire dessert table for all 15 people (including ourselves) that would be attending the wedding. For months Tara + I messaged back and forth on how to bring this table to life + since we are from out of town she even made a run to Homegoods to pick out some display trays for us. Talk about going above + beyond! The sweets became one of our most anticipated parts of our wedding + our family could not wait to taste it all. The table display was gorgeous, everything tasted amazing, + the three boxes of leftover sweets were eaten the day following the wedding leaving us with only one box carrying our top tier to be taken back to FL with us for our anniversary! Tara is a dream to work with, a true pastry chef, + artist. If I lived in Bend, I'd go to her for all my confection needs. Please do not hesitate to contact her for whatever you need. You will not regret it! Thank you so much for everything, Tara. We love you!

I have been following Crumb Cakery for a while on Instagram. I contacted Tara and ordered a cake from the website. There are so many different options and selections to choose from. We ordered the cake two weeks out. Tara has messaged me along the way and kept me updated. I was told when the cake would be ready and when and where to pick it up. Everything went perfectly! The cake was beautiful, Tara was very punctual and it tasted amazing! Most importantly my daughter loved it. I can't recommend Crumb Cakery enough. If you are looking for a wedding cake, birthday cake or just something sweet to brighten your day, this is the place. Thanks so much for making our day and providing Bend with a "Real" bakery!

The staff was super helpful in getting us set up with a tasting box, with multiple cupcakes & frostings, to try as many combinations as we pleased. They were able to deliver the two-tiered cake & the cupcakes we ordered without any problems & even had cake display plates available. The cake was amazing & guests were excited to take home some extra cupcakes (you always have to order extra cupcakes, right!?). I would definitely recommend Ida's Too to anyone planning a wedding, or other event. Thanks Ida's!!

I went in planning to grab something simple and ended up having a hard time not ordering half the offerings. We picked up Cobb salads to take to a friend's house, and they did not disappoint. Fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned--exactly what you hope for when you're bringing something to share. You can tell there's real care put into the ingredients and preparation. Prices are comparable to other local spots, but the quality and charm definitely give it an edge. Nancy P's is the kind of place you find yourself thinking about later... and already planning your next visit.

Bakeries were seemingly on every other block and I knew that I was going to do some serious damage to my expectations upon my return to Bend. I am happy to report that M's is my new daily destination for pastries at the Old Mill. This is a bakery that could compete with the best pattiseries and boulangeries in Paris. They offer croissants, almond croissants, chocolate croissants, seasonal chuffins, ham & cheese croissants, monkey bread, kougi amann, blueberry muffins, gluten-free cookies, and more. I always leave with one or two boxes full of treats. I've tried their olive sourdough, which I found to be excellent, if albeit pricey-enough to make it a rarer purchase for me. They have an excellent selection of coffees, as you'd expect. But the thing I must emphasize is that we have a bakery *right here* in Bend that could hold its own against the best in France! Highly recommended!
