We had the best experience working with Karlie & Story Cake Studio! Karlie created the most amazing and delicious cake and cupcakes for us, all customized to match our wedding theme and align with dietary restrictions. We were astounded when we got to our wedding and saw how perfectly Karlie had decorated the cake and cupcakes to match our wedding aesthetic. Additionally, everything was absolutely incredible! Our guests' favorite desserts were the chocolate espresso cupcakes with salted caramel buttercream and candied hazelnuts which were made vegan and gluten-free. Our vegan vanilla chai cake was beautiful and so delicious! Thank you, Karlie, for making our vision come to life!

Natasha's Treats 

5.0

  • Starts at $250
  • Serves Santa Cruz, CA

Raised in Ukraine, I grew up loving the delectable European cakes my mother would bake from scratch. This experience cultivated my love for sweets and baking, and taught me to appreciate desserts that offer both exceptional flavor and just the right amount of sweetness.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Natasha's Treats and the beautiful vegan wedding cake she created for our big day! From the very beginning, Natasha was an absolute joy to work with. She was incredibly responsive, attentive to every detail, and made the whole process seamless. Her talent for decorating cakes is unparalleled—she not only captured our vision but brought it to life in a way that was even more stunning than we imagined. We chose her unique Russian-style vegan cake, and it was truly a showstopper. It was unlike any other wedding cake we’ve seen, both in flavor and design. The layers were rich and flavorful, and we were blown away by how Natasha managed to make it both vegan and so delicious—every single guest, whether vegan or not, was raving about it! It was the perfect blend of elegance and originality, and it made our wedding day feel even more special. On the day of the wedding, Natasha went above and beyond. She worked so well with our coordinator and the culinary team, ensuring everything went smoothly and the cake was set up exactly as planned. Her professionalism and attention to detail were much appreciated, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about making our celebration perfect. If you’re looking for a talented, easy-to-work-with baker who can create a unique, show-stopping vegan wedding cake, look no further than Natasha's Treats. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!

Palette Cakes

  • Serves Santa Cruz, CA

With an art background as a professional painter, Kellie Velasquez attended the Culinary Institute of America (CIA) to hone her baking and pastry skills. After her first year in school, she sought out the opportunity to work with world renowned Cake Designer, Maggie Austin, where she developed her fundamental skills with wedding cakes and design. After completing the prestigious baking and pastry arts degree program at CIA, she held positions at some of San Francisco’s top bakeries, including Craftsman & Wolves, Susie Cakes, and most recently Pastry Chef at the popular Jane on Larkin.

Kellie is not only an incredible baker but a superb artist as well. We first had her cakes at a friends wedding a little over a year before we got married, and knew from the moment, we tasted it that we were going to need her to make our cake as well. The process of working with Kellie was incredibly easy and super fun. She truly cares about all of her clients. She even hand-delivered our cake on our wedding day and stuck around to watch a bit as we took some pictures, it was just a super sweet touch that made the process feel really personal. We can’t wait to have her bake other goodies for big events in our future!

We began our wedding planning journey in February and reached out to Cakewalk. Little did we know, they are the whole package. We initially wanted to discuss breakfast catering options, but once we received highly detailed emails from Jennifer about her services we then decided to move forward with planning/catering/floral/furniture/signage/wedding cake/tastings/wine pairings and so much more. Cakewalk provided the perfect nature design/coordination, organic farm to table catering and custom cake design with dessert services for our special day. Jennifer is an absolute gem. She connected with us via phone and email multiple times leading up to the big day to plan a truly amazing wedding day. She asked us for our pinterest board, and she really listened to our ideas and concerns. Her emails were very detailed and consisted of multiple design boards. She was very organized and provided us with a comprehensive planning timeline. Jennifer incorporated two new entrees for our dinner service that were not in their original menu selection. During the tasting, she offered the highest degree of service. She also provided the wine pairings for each dish! Jennifer coordinated with all our vendors. She planned a day of coronation timeline that was perfectly executed and was flexible with any changes. She really has a caring eye for detail and made our dream wedding a reality! Our wedding party was intimate with 20 guests and Jennifer and her team really made everyone feel like royalty. We really don't know how we could have done any of this without her. 100/100 the best day of our lives.

We had our wedding reception at a brewery and wanted some easy to eat sweet and salty snacks. These popcorn flavors were delicious, they sent us flavors to try before we decided. We chose 4 flavors and they shipped them right to our house. The popcorn buckets had our cute custom labels which they designed for us and looked PERFECT! We had tons of compliments on the popcorn. We ordered plenty and people were grabbing them to take home at the end of the night. A perfect snack after a few beers. Theu were very fast with the samples and the order too!
