Cake Couture

I was planning a retirement party for a gentlemen and ham radios were his hobby. Not only was this cake amazing looking it tasted just as good. The attention to detail was amazing. The hand radio was perfect. Most people didn’t even realize it was cake.
I appreciated her sending me a picture of what it would look like before hand, shockingly that was something others would not do.
Thanks so much for doing such a great job!

Awesome business woman! Easy to talk to, always available when I needed to ask questions and was very flexible. She’s very artistic and creative. She did my son’s first birthday cake and oh my god! It was beautiful! The cake was clean, the details were very precise… I am beyond words. The cake was yummy also. Just the right amount of sweetness and it’s perfectly moist… just perfect! I would highly recommend her to anyone and everyone.

We really wanted a tiered funfetti cake for our wedding but had a hard time finding someone who could make it since it’s not exactly a normal wedding flavor. As soon as we asked Christie she said «No problem!» and the rest is history. Christie was great to work with — always responsive via email and attentive to little details. She even delivered the cake to our venue and arranged the flowers on it as part of the package. The cake was absolutely beautiful (pictures here:
) and tasted even better. We are so glad we picked Cake Couture and highly recommend Christie!

I’m not much of a sweet tooth so finding a cake vendor was my least favorite wedding vendor to research. Luckily my friend invited me along to her wedding cake tasting at Christie’s home in Davis and I was SOLD after trying all her delicious cake flavors & fillings and seeing all her elaborate cake designs! We decided to settle with the champagne cake, buttercream frosting, and white chocolate mousse & strawberry filling since it would pair well with our wedding venue (Gloria Ferrer Winery) who are known for their champagnes! Christie was very easy to work with and she responded to emails promptly. Prior to the cake business, Christie was an engineer so she definitely knows how to translate her skills when designing and building cakes!

Man, finding a gluten free wedding cake is hard… Finding one that tastes good is even harder… I found Christie here on Unilocal and decided to take a gamble and ask if she could fill this request and I am so glad I did! Christie runs this operation out of her home which allows for flexibility with clients in scheduling tastings, etc. She is simply a delight to work with– she is positive and cheerful, very responsive to e-​mails (my preferred method of communication) and very thorough with impeccable attention to detail. She was able to fill our order with no hesitation and the cakes were beautiful, moist and delicious! The wedding cake was surprisingly tasty for a GF cake, as I usually find them kind of dry, crumbly and reminiscent of cardboard. The design of the wedding cake was simple and elegant, and looked just like the sample cakes she showed me. Christie even delivered the cakes and cupcakes to Taber Ranch in Capay, CA (our venue) for a small fee and set up the entire display table and lent us her cake stands and cake plates as well (free of charge). In total, our two tier cake and 200 cupcakes with delivery came to just around $ 500! I was shocked at how cost effective she is! I DARE you to try to find a baker as caring and professional and Christie who produces beautiful, quality desserts for the price. I will be returning to Christie for all of our specialty cake needs and will refer anyone and everyone I know to her!

Christie was SO easy to work with and extremely responsive to texts/​emails/​calls etc. I had an idea of what I wanted the cake to look like, but the piece of art (seriously, i wanted to save it forever and keep it as a centerpiece on my dining table), she created was BEAUTIFUL. It fit the theme of the wedding to a T and the colors complemented the décor so well. AND it tasted just as good as it looked. I had several guests asking (and occasionally, «taking» from their table mates). HIGHLY HIGHLY recommended.

Christine does an amazing job! The cakes are beautiful and Delicious! I took my friends to the tasting at her house for my wedding cake and we were very happy with the result!

Christie was a total godsend for my wedding in March. Unfortunately, the previous bakery I had contracted with was undergoing a change in ownership two weeks before my wedding, and they were unable to complete my original order. Planning long distance from the east coast, I turned to Unilocal and found Cake Couture which was right in Davis! Christie answered my call right away and talked to me for a long time about what I needed for my wedding, which was quickly approaching. I felt SO much better after I got off the phone with her! Better yet, she is wonderful at communication via email and text — totally key for easing my stress levels. Better yet, her cake and cupcakes were deeelicious! My groom and my guests were all very happy. She even lent us several cake stands, which I simply returned to her house afterwards. Three cheers to you Christie, thank you for helping to make my day awesome!

I recently ordered a cake from Christie for my daughter’s first birthday party. I gave her a picture of what I wanted the cake to look like and she was able to duplicate it and made it even better looking! Christie is super sweet and very easy to work with and her price is very reasonable. She is very talented and makes beautiful cakes. And not only are her cakes beautiful to look at but they are also delicious! All my guests commented how cute our cake was and that it tasted great! Thank you Christie for your excellent product and service and I will certainly be ordering from you again.

My wife and I were married in Davis, CA earlier this month. This is not an easy event to plan long distance from Denver but Christie made all the decision making about the cake very easy. My wife gave her a photo of a cake design that she liked and from that image, Christie created a masterpiece. I would like to add that the cake was DELICIOUS!!! Yes, the groom made a pig of himself. Here are a few more important items:
1. The pricing was very reasonable.
2. Christie was VERY thorough and very detailed.
3. (VERY IMPORTANT HERE) Christie’s communication with us was perfect!

We needed a cake for our wedding and found Christie with the help of Unilocal.Once we met her, we knew she is the right person. She is very friendly and flexible in terms of cake choices and cake delivery (free delivery within 30 miles).
The cake was exactly what we wanted and it was very tasty too!
Overall we are very pleased. She exceeded our expectations!

My kid is on a huge princess kick. I planned a princess themed party, invited her friends, got her a new dress and some sparkly shoes. During planning I knew I needed a cake that was going to wow, and the local bakeries I checked weren’t cutting it.
Enter Christie. She knew princess was the theme so she asked how many people, what flavors, and which princess? BAM I ended up with a cake that my kid fell in love with, that blew away the parents and had the staff at the party spot admitting it was the most impressive cake they had ever seen. And that was before we had even tasted it.
Once the cake was served it was clear the cake was a hit. The kids loved it, the parents loved it. Even my wife, who doesn’t really like cake or chocolate, loved this chocolate cake.
Make no mistake: Christie is an artist. The quality of this cake, from appearance to taste and texture, was as good as it gets. That level of quality only comes from someone who has a true passion for what they do.
Thanks for making me «The coolest dad ever», Christie. This cake made the party.

Awesome tasting and absolutely stunning cake for my granddaughter’s birthday. Will definitely refer friends.

Tasted one of Christie’s cupcakes 8 months ago and was so impressed. It was not too sweet, cake was yummy and decorated so sweet. I marked in my brain to get more treats from her. My granddaughter’s third birthday came up, and I emailed Christie. She worked with me, sending emails back and forth, and we decided on a beautiful princess cake, that turned out so delicious and Aubrey loved it. I will get all my cakes and cupcakes from Christie and Cake Couture.

I helped my stepdaughter plan a wedding with two weeks notice. Her then fiancé was coming home on leave from the Navy and they wanted to get married quickly. I found Cake Couture on craigslist and asked for Christie’s help. She has a wonderful website and my stepdaughter was able to design her cake quickly with all the ideas that Christie has posted. Christie even gave the couple a military discount! Overall it was a great value, wonderful cake and cupcakes, and exceptional service. Many thanks to Cake Couture for helping to make their wedding day special!!!
