The last time The Cake Lady made us a cake was for our a gender reveal in 2021, and here we are…read morefour years later, she has now made a birthday cake for our son! Cecelia is so easy to get in touch with and communicate the vision. It's as simple as filling out the contact form on her website. She was quick to respond and request a few additional details about the cake we were looking to have made, including size, filling, and flavors. We went with a small round cake for 8-10 people, and I sent over a few photos of what I had in mind for the 'Cars theme.' I paid the digital invoice that came through via email, and picked up on our requested date. Easy as that. Oh and of course my son and all of his friends loved the cake!

She was amazing to work with, super kind and full of knowledge and you can tell she really loves what she does. Once we decided on our flavors, we told her to surprise us with the cake design and we were obsessed - this is your sign to trust your vendors. We had our cake displayed on our sweetheart table, and we were so happy and proud to show it off. It also, perhaps most importantly, tasted INCREDIBLE!!!

This may be the first home baker I've purchased from (keyword - purchased - haha, though, maybe if…read moreI paid family for baked goods, I get them more often? But no need, since I discovered CupKate!). First off, it's awesome that this is a vegan operation, I'm not vegan but I've always thought vegan-friendly options to be options for pretty much everyone! She has proven that you don't need eggs to make a good cupcake. I personally ordered an assortment of 4: Choco-Raz Swirl Cupcake, Gluten Free Cookies and Cream Cupcake, Margarita Cupcake, and a Chocolate Stout Cupcake. I really enjoyed the hidden Oreo cookie on the bottom the Cookies and Cream one; the frosting of the Swirl was great too (could taste the distinct flavor of raspberry). The pickup process was also contact-free, you just open a purple tub sitting out on her porch and take your order to go. You'll see a "CupKate" logo on the door to help you confirm you're in the right place. I'm definitely going to try this again soon.

Kate was amazing. She responded to my inquiry about doing a flavor not listed within a couple of…read moreminutes and she was able to make my order with only a 4 day notice. The carrot cake cupcakes I ordered are AMAZING! And I'm super picky about carrot cake. They are extremely moist and you can taste the nuts in every bite (which is my favorite)!! The frosting wasn't piled too high either so no need in scraping some off. I will definitely be ordering again to try some of her other flavors!!

Like many people in Milwaukee, I am a big fan of Simma's. I am usually the fortunate recipient of…read moresomeone else's tasteful and generous dessert selection at parties, and I have never been disappointed. This time, I made a trip to Simma's to pick up a few items of my own for a party this weekend. I originally planned to get a small cheesecake but decided instead on four different dessert squares. With the help of the friendly staff (thanks, Jeremy), I put together a great assortment that is sure to please. In addition to the bakery items, they also carry party supplies such as cards, decorations, and napkins, along with packaged chocolate confections. Anyone who loves high-quality bakery items should make the trip. Is it a little more expensive than other places? Sure. Is it worth it? Absolutely!

But i meant to, because it's awesome!! and when I say, "place" I really mean woman who bakes these cakes, because there's not a physical location. I got my BF a specially made b-day cake that was chocolate with peanut butter frosting. Adorable custom decorations!! And #&*$#&*#*#. One of the most delicious cakes I have every tasted. Everyone at the party was just flummoxed by how good it was. Then I told them it was vegan, they about lost their minds. Everyone agreed it was freaking amazing no matter what! Well, for my birthday, the BF returned the favor and got ME a bday cake. The decorations were just beyond adorable (she does very custom work for every order). The cake itself was red velvet and was so rich and moist. This lady does cake right!! I've also seen some super cute cookies she has made -- hope I get to try them one day :)

*Update* After seeing my review this is the response I…read morereceived from this "professional": Wow, you really have a lot of time on your hands to now go and post a bad review about my business. Go to hell **I've updated again based on this "businesswoman's" response to the review. She claims she was verbally assaulted. I've attached my email to her stating I was disappointed. If anything I believe telling someone to go to hell is a bit more insulting and maybe I should feel verbally assaulted? This lady really is a class act See original review below: Let me start by saying that the prices displayed on the website are absolutely fictitious. Secondly Judi was very short and rude in her correspondence as soon as I began asking clarifying questions. I requested a quote for one of the most simple designs on her website, from a page that stated that an 8" cake will serve up to 25 people and begins at $54.99. I've attached the picture from the website for reference. All I asked to be changed was the color of the accent icing from blue to pink and silver to gold. When she responded she quoted an initial quote of 20 servings at $75 and 30 servings at $95 (on the website a 10" cake serves up to 38 and starts at $76.99). When I inquired as to why the price jumped $20 she only responded with "My pricing is based on added decorative details that are added to the cake. Please advise." ... okay... so I confirmed we were talking about the same cake and then asked how much it would be without the bottle and pacifier, literally the only two pieces of decoration. She said to subtract $10 from her quotes, again not trying to explain anything. Just very short and rude. So basically, a plain iced cake is $10 more than the quote on the website. I wonder what type of product you would get for the actual price on the website, perhaps simply the cake batter? I'm so sick of businesses gauging their customers for every little thing. Is it really too much to ask that they have some integrity and actually respect their customers or potential customers?

My daughter loved it. The guests said the frosting tasted so light and not so sweet. The cake was so moist. All around we were very, very pleased. I will go back!!!! They are truly artists. They knew exactly what we needed and made it come true!!! Everyone was so helpful from behind the counter to the bakers. Thank u so much for making a special occasion such a success! Deb Nashotah, Wi
