Alright. I can't even remember if I left a review for my first wedding. But if not, shame.on.me. I did the TX Melon cake for my first wedding. That flavor....I can still taste it....and my first wedding was in 2018. Fast forward 8 years later. Got divorced, met the love of my life (don't marry young kids!), and....that TX Melon cake still sits at the forefront of my mind on a monthly basis. I moved back home to New Orleans two years ago... and am getting remarried in December 2026...but I'm not letting that or my absolute angel of a fiancé (who is 100% saying "...are we really going to use the same baker from your first wedding...") stop me from having the TX Melon cake again. I have been the most happy-go-lucky bride of all time, but Tammy - you have me puttin this stiletto down! Her TX Melon was SO good, that family is STILL talking about it 8 years later. I've had a couple of family members ask me if I would have the same cake flavor I did the first time because it was the most incredible cake they had ever had. So. All weirdness of using the same baker for both my weddings aside...taste the TX Melon, order the TX Melon, enjoy the TX Melon. Also - Tammy remembered me, and she's definitely taken off business wise in the last almost decade, and that meant a lot and speaks volumes about her customer service and personal interaction with her couples. That's all :) read more

Everything was Amazing. Ms Tammy and her staff treated us and the other Brides who were waiting, like Princesses. The cakes were moist and so full of flavor. We got the Texas Melon and the Cinny Rolle flavors for our wedding cake. The liquor infused Flavors blew my husband away. For the Grooms Cake, They served Chocolate Cherry Moonshine and Butter Cinnamon Grand Marnier. They were All Super Delicious. If you want a cake that is a Show Stopper. Just come see Ms Tammy @weddingcakesbytammy allen. 5.0 Stars all day long. read more

Wedding Cakes by Tammy Allen - Super Moist Texas Melon and Butter Cream Cake Flavor. The guests absolutely loved it. - Bakeries Near Me - Houston, Texas

Oh my goodness!!! I went to a venue open house, and met this wonderful baker. Their cakes are sooooo...delicious! I was so pleasantly surprised! The cakes are moist, flavorful, and you can taste the quality of real ingredients! The service was awesome! After talking, I also found out they offer catering, and have an event space as well. I'm so glad my daughter and fiancé selected them for their upcoming wedding. read more

The cake was absolutely BEAUTIFUL and DELICIOUS! You really outdid your self on this one. Everyone was so impressed and in awe of the design and navy blue color. They've never seen such a creation. The flavors were on point - absolutely DEVINE! Cakes are the centerpiece of any birthday party and what you created was a showstopper. Your artistry really shined through. read more

BEWARE!!! If you schedule a tasting and cancel WAY before the tasting, she does NOT refund your $24. Terrible business practice. Go to Cakes by Gina instead where they DO NOT charge for a consultation and have much better quality cakes than this place. Update due to her comment: her employee said we do not give refunds since you filled an appointment time. No other comment made so her response that I did not give her a chance to respond was useless. I then said that was not a good business practice and I would be sure to leave a review and the employee said nothing. That was ample time for her to give refund information. You need to refund your customers who give you ample notice of cancellation. You are the ONLY baker that charged us for a tasting and then kept our $24 for the cancellation. I will dissuade anyone from booking your consultations. read more

You know when the cake lady herself say that was a "baaaaad" cake, you know exactly what she meant and my husband and I don't even like cake. But, no need to prolong the review because the images are proof that our wedding cake was indeed "BAD". Baby Ms. Tammy did her big one and she was so pleasant to work with. Keep her on rotation. read more

Wedding Cakes by Tammy Allen - Wedding Cake - Bakeries Near Me - Houston, Texas

Wedding Cakes by Tammy Allen are the best I've ever had. The cake is super moist, and the frosting is super creamy! Her skill and artistry in creating featured cakes for occasions is next-level. You will really enjoy browsing her photos and getting inspired for the cake you will need for your next occasion. But what is truthfully more important than how great a cake can look is delivering on flavor and texture. So, on all these levels she gets . Additionally, you want to work with someone who listens to your needs and offers excellent inspiration. read more

Glad that some of you actually had a better experience. My review is long overdue but I'm going to mention my experience anyway. Contacted Ms Allen's business to inquire about a cake for a baby shower. Made an appointment, my mom and I drove maybe a good 45 -50 min out and Ms Allen is not there. While inside we are greeted by workers who were completing some work inside the facility. One of the individuals called her while I was there. She asked if I could do a FaceTime. Literally rolling my eyes at this point cause I had an appt and had driven some distance...and I'm pregnant. Plus I wanted to discuss in person and try to explain what my idea would be 1 on 1. Anyway so I agreed. Days later upon communicating Ms Allen offered to ship to me some cake samples for me to try. Guess what??? It's been 4 years now and I still never received the samples! LOL During that time I made 2 more attempts at contacting the business asking about the samples and letting Ms Allen know that I never received them before giving up. Yeah that was definitely my sign to not waste anymore time or spend my money there. I guess cause my event was for a baby shower and not a wedding was why I received poor professionalism. Well that was her mistake and folks shouldn't be so quick to assume things with potential customers. All the cakes I order are wedding style cakes whether it's shower, birthday or holiday. No worries I've got the baker I've used now for these past 4 years for every event. read more

Miss Tammy was absolutely amazing. She was hospitable from the beginning. My sister, which is the bride to be, and mother enjoyed it all. We came for a cake tasting for my sister's wedding and she pulled out all the varieties. The sampling consisted of different types of cake, different types of fillings, and the Icing that will be around the cake. When I tell you everything tasted so good? I mean everything tasted so good! It was even hard to make a decision. But you have so many different choices as to how you want to pair your cake with the filling. I will have to say that butter butter pecan was amazing, our absolute favorite ! That is a filling that she provides; and then the cakes were so perfectly moist... I'm not even a cake person and I was so impressed! If you know my review, I have a problem with sometimes taking pictures of the product prior to eating it. It was so delicious. I couldn't even take any pictures, I wish I did. Lol! Her shop was very nice, and clean. She had a variety of wedding designs, as well as her accolades everywhere. She was very professional and not to mention very personable. She was so educated on what she does and aims to please. You can tell that she takes her craft serious. I mean, she said she's been in the business for over 30 years, and it showed! We truly enjoyed our visit, and cannot wait to see the finished results in a few months. Thank you again Miss Tammy for working and being patient with us today! If you're looking for someone to make your special day so special with a cake or cake, she is the go to person! Look no further! read more

I first found out about Tammy Allen's cakes through a caterer and I found her at a Bridal Expo. When I tasted her Texas Melon for the first time, omg I had to have it at my wedding! The other flavor I chose was cinnamon grand marnier. Both delicious flavors! Tammy is very sweet and kind. She accommodated us twice due to COVID! Highly recommend read more

Wedding Cakes by Tammy Allen - Cake - Bakeries Near Me - Houston, Texas

We were married at Ashton Gardens West in Houston at the end of October. Cakes by Tammy Allen was absolutely perfect! We had a great feeling at our meeting with her and signed the same day. Even though she specializes in more of the highly designed cakes, my plain white "spatula" cake came out flawless! (Picture in comments, flowers were added by our florist) We chose the amoretto cake and frosting. It wasn't overly sweet and wasn't dry a bit! If I could have a price of that cake everyday I would, seriously! Her price was very competitive and we didn't have a single cake worry! I highly recommend! Thank you for everything Tammy Allen! -Ally and Emerson Sangel read more

PLEASE READ THIS AND OTHER REVIEWS BEFORE CONSIDERING. If I could give ZERO stars I would. I wish I had read reviews beforehand. There have been others who received the wrong cake, experienced poor attitude and unprofessionalism, showed up to their tasting only to be told it wasn't booked when it was, etc. Your wedding planning experience with any vendor should be a pleasant one. Our first experience with Wedding Cakes by Tammy Allen was at the Bridal Extravaganza and we fell in love with the melon cake. We then went to their open house event which was described as a cake tasting but it was a mini bridal extravaganza with their select vendors, and the cake was hidden in the back and by request only. That should've been our first sign that their business was shady. I spoke with Tammy Allen herself at the event and informed her of my intention of using a fake display cake and buying sheet cakes, expressed interest for a dessert bar with them, and asked her how to proceed. She replied that the next step would be to book an appointment for a tasting through their website. I booked it, paid the deposit, and received a confirmation email. The subject for which stated, "Thanks for Booking your Tasting & Consultation!" and the heading read, "You're booked! Hi, Your appointment is all set." We arrived approximately 15 minutes early to our appointment. The doors were locked and the man who answered seemed confused as to why we where there. He was polite. He brought us in and gave us water. Then we sat for 22 minutes before anyone acknowledged us. Tammy Allen greeted us at 1:37p and immediately accused us of not booking the appointment. She implied that we were confused, even though we showed her the confirmation email that clearly stated we were booked for that time and date. Tammy then deflected all accountability and stated her online portal did not email her regarding this and because she didn't receive an email, it didn't happen, regardless of the fact that the deposit had been withdrawn from my account and I had an email confirming it was booked. She then said the email is not a confirmation of my booking even though "You're booked!" was written verbatim and it had details of my paid deposit. My fiancé and I are very understanding, have worked in the service industry for many years, could understand the error on their part, and were willing to move forward at the time. However, Tammy Allen never apologized, she refused to accept any accountability, and was instead needlessly accusatory and offensive. She then stated she would not make sheet cakes for us if we opted to get a fake display cake. I recounted my previous conversation with her when I had informed her of my intentions and was told to proceed by booking the consult/tasting. I would have considered obtaining a fake decorative display cake from her, but the overwhelming LACK OF PROFESSIONALISM and LACK OF ACCOUNTABILITY was more than my fiancé or I could stomach, so we left. She had taken our deposit, wasted our time, and blamed us for the error on their part regarding the appointment. We DO NOT RECOMMEND her to anyone who values their time and hard earned money. I should have read reviews before booking the appointment. There is indeed an immense lack of communication and lack of respect from Tammy Allen and her team. UPDATE: The owner commented on this review on another platform, accused me of lying, and argued, "Secondly you where definitely greeted, seated, and given water." I clearly stated above that a polite man let us in, seated us, and gave us water. I am merely a former potential customer recounting my experience. After adding this update to the post, the owner removed that statement from her comment. read more

We want to Thank Tammy for adding to our most Cherished Day with our awesome wedding cakes that were sooo moist and delicious. The wedding cake was displayed on a swing created by #Royalluxuryevents and the Grooms cake was a delicious sooo moist chocolate cake that was a 2D 1984 Champagne Color Eldorado Caddy with Swaggers! If you want an awesome wedding cake you better call Tammy Allen!! read more

Mrs. Tammy Allen refused to service me after a disagreement about receiving a receipt post-deposit, and she made a RACIAL comment that was very disrespectful! On a Friday I put down a NON-REFUNDABLE $350 cash deposit on a wedding cake, and asked Tammy Allen for a receipt or proof of the deposit. She said "I'll email it"... So I trusted her and called that evening to remind her, no response. I called the following business days Tuesday and Wednesday...no answer. Now as a NEW customer, I'M NERVOUS! Because here we are 3months before my wedding and I'm just hoping I wasn't one of the ones who got scammed bc normally she answers my calls. So since I was in the area, I go up there to show her some toppers for my cake to see if it matched the ribbon she was providing and while I was there I asked Tammy for the receipt, she then asked me..."Why are you so fixed on this receipt?" I said "because I gave you a $350 cash deposit and I need to keep up with my wedding expenses." She said "well I don't give receipts, when your name comes up in rotation I'll create an invoice and send it via email." I told her "Oh, that was not conveyed at the moment of contract signing, cool". Again, I'm a First time customer. She then said.."the only people that give me problems are BLACK PEOPLE "..so that made me say "and this is why it's so hard to support black companies because of people like you that do things like this and say things like that". (We're both black) Then she told me that she have white people bringing her $11,000 and they don't ask for a receipt, I told her "First off, I don't care if they gave you a billion dollars! If I go up to Burger King and buy a $1 burger they're going to give me a receipt for that $1 burger." Secondly, "they have that rapport with you, I don't! I'm a new customer. How I know you wasn't going to take my money and run? So after almost 10mins of talking, she replies "That's fair" and finally gives me proof of my $350 deposit. But black woman to black woman, I politely expressed my offense to her "race" comment and told her "we're not enemies, I loved your cake so much at the bridal extravaganza that i told my fiancé you're doing our cake. But that comment hurt my feelings". She again mentioned what her white customers do and what her Hispanic workers say about her people and how it insults her bc how we treat our "own" businesses. I then told her "it's not about race, it's about how you conduct financial transactions with providing a receipt, it's the way of the world!" Tammy laughed & said "I had a point, apologized and came around the counter & gave me a hug and said "thank you for your feedback." I even told her I needed a hug because planning a wedding is overwhelming as it is! Long story short, she calls me back 2 days later and offered me a refund and said she don't feel comfortable providing me services because I said that I was going to tell my guests if they asked about her, I was going to tell them that she don't give receipts at the point of deposit, which is true, but she misconstrued WHY I said it... I was actually saying it to prevent her from having that experience again and so that they won't go with the expectation of receiving a receipt the same day, but according to her policy, they'll receive it in rotation via her system. Like, why would I say something stupid that would jeopardize me getting serviced? My intentions were good, but I stopped explaining what I meant and said "At this point, now I'm uncomfortable, so as long as I can get my refund back, cool! I choose integrity over anything! Her customer service is poor, unprofessional & utterly distasteful! (Pun intended) read more

I found out about Tammy through a friend. Tammy made my son's "graduation bridge cake." It was amazing! She made it exactly how I had pictured it in my head. My son's high school and his college that he will be attending was well represented on the cake. Tammy's work was awesome! read more

Contacted two weeks ago via email on her website for cupcakes for a party I have coming up. Apparently, we will never know if the cake is any good because their customer communications sucks. If you do not wish to communicate with potential customers via email, then I suggest you not put an email address or contact form on your website. You only get a star because there is not an option to give less. read more

Wedding Cakes by Tammy Allen - Birthday cake with fresh roses on top! - Bakeries Near Me - Houston, Texas

Let me start off with saying Tammy has great customer service and she aims to please! As you can see from her website she is truly an artist! I must give her, her accolades! Tammy, made and delivered my daughters graduation cake on time and as promised. The only small issue I had with my daughters cake was her A &M Prairie View School colors were a bit off for me. I should have been clear that I wanted Purple and Gold Metallic...Same colors as her balloons. However, People were complimenting us on how beautiful...the cake was and how amazing...it tasted! Guest were asking who made that cake!!!! The top and bottom tier was BUTTER cake and the middle was her famous Texas Melon cake. Her prices are very reasonable for the quality of cakes and service. I will definitely order my cakes from her again and recommend friends & family in the Houston area. read more

Wedding planning is hard enough during normal times, but when an unexpected pandemic hits, its been a total whirlwind! Tammy has been so wonderful and accommodating to make sure we are taken care of. We did an at home cake tasting (absolutely DELISH, by the way!) and a FaceTime appointment to go over our cakes, and I've never seen someone who wanted to take care of us like she has. You would think we were family! A lot of wedding vendors make you feel like you are getting taken advantage of a bit, but Tammy made us feel the complete opposite. We are so excited to have her cakes for everyone to enjoy on our wedding day, and are humbled by her kindness. read more

This place does NOT hold up to their reputation. My fiancé and I made our appointment online and when we got there they said they didn't have an appointment for us because the website they use isn't very good. If it doesn't work then why are you offering it to people? We drove an hour and a half just go to an appointment that "wasn't scheduled." However, Billy was very nice and told us that he would give us a sample of the cakes he did have available and would give us the consultation to design our cakes. Our two cakes came out to be $1,000 which is WAY overpriced since they didn't have to decorate my cake at all because we were using real flowers. We ended up making a second appointment to come back to have a formal tasting. When we got there Tammy basically asked us why we were there even though I had called and made the appointment with her. Also, while we were there, we decided to do my cake with someone cheaper but just to keep his cake with them because they had the Texas Melon Cake flavor he wanted. Once Tammy found out we were going to get my cake with someone else she basically told us that she wasn't going to do my fiancé's cake if we were going to get someone else to do mine for "insurance reasons." When my fiancé went to ask a question she threw her hand up at him and told him to "shhh" like he was a child. After that we knew they weren't going to have our business anymore. Billy is very nice and we really enjoyed him but we will not have a company cater our wedding when the owner acts like that toward their customers. Bottom line is: do not hire these people if you want bad business. It will be a waste of your time. read more

I'm not surprised, because it's the best wedding cake my husband and I have ever had as well. Schedule a tasting and try it for yourself! We loved how during our tasting, Tammy had no need to try to "sell" her cake to us like the other bakeries did. The cake speaks for itself. read more

I have been coming to Tammy for over a year now. Her husband and her are the nicest people ever! Her cupcakes and cakes are moist and delicious. I even ask them to make certain flavors and they tell me they will do it the next week. I had a transformers cake for my son's 5th birthday. The cake was so good that there were hardly any leftovers. She will also do a 3 layer cake which is something that is done often up north but they don't do it down here. If you have a special request they will always try and find a way to create it or accommodate you. She makes a watermelon cupcake and a cherry chocolate cupcake that are out of this world. She even made a chocolate cupcake with mint icing for my sister at the last minute. Tammy definitely rocks and will get all my cake orders from now on. read more

My fiancé and I went to their open house event on February 3rd. We are still shopping around for the perfect cake baker for our June wedding. So, we sampled the flavors and we didn't like them. Now, that's totally not personal. Food is subjective. What one person likes, another may not. When I told the director I was going to be honest and I didn't like the flavors, he said "That's because we cater to high end brides." Okay? So I'm not a high end bride because I didn't like your cake? And to be fair, even if the cakes were good to my taste buds, I wouldn't get my cake from here if that's how the director speaks to people. The cakes are mostly flavored with almonds and I'm not an almond cake person, but that's my taste. Whatever the case, I shouldn't have been spoken to this way. read more

We have used Cakes by Tammy Allen for two weddings now (for both of our daughters) and both times, the cakes were moist, delicious, and beautiful. Definitely the best wedding cake I've ever tasted.
