I used Custom Cake Design for my father's 90th birthday celebration, and I highly recommend them for your special occasion. The staff are extremely friendly and professional, and are willing to work with you to design the perfect cake for your event. (I had a photo from Pinterest and the team was able to produce an exact replica.) Their cakes are very tasty and moist, and not too sweet. Also, they offer a range of flavors and fillings.

This has been the third time my family and I have worked with Custom Cake Design and they continue to impress us!Their customer service was great. I worked with Raquel to help make my vision come to life and she and the team did an AMAZING job at making that happen. She was provided timely responses, answered any questions that I had and made the design adjustments I asked for. My husband was also assisted by the team with placing the cakes in the car and making sure they were secured.Our finished product was better than I imagined. The animals were so cute and the quality was top tier. My guests also shared that the flavors were delicious. They said that the cake was moist and very flavorful.We will definitely be returning for many more events to come.
Mar 13 · Sahara Bullswe used custom cake designs for our wedding as it was included as a package with the wedding venue, Milton Ridge. We made an appointment for the cake tasting hoping to try the different flavors that is offered on custom cake designs website. Upon arriving, we were told to take a seat and we were presented a tray with different flavors. I asked if we could try some of the flavors that were not on the tray and she said “no, do you think I could make all of them?? That’s a lot of work.” To answer her question, no I don’t think you could make all of them but you could at least email me to choose what we would like to taste from your website and make those, that’s the least you could have done! This is our wedding and you treat it like it’s no big deal, just give us what you want to make and expect us to be happy about it! To some up, she had a horrible attitude and did not care about providing adequate service. DO NOT USE!
Sep 26 · MichaelWe had our wedding at Milton Ridge, and they get their cakes through Custom Cake Design— we could not have been happier with our cake! Raquel did our tasting for us, and honestly all of the samples were delicious. We went with 3 tiers— chocolate raspberry with whipped cream icing, vanilla cake with whipped cream icing, and then our top tier was lemon with raspberry jam. We got so many compliments on all of the flavors and how moist the cake was, and my husband and I ate our whole top tier the week after, we didn’t want to wait a year haha. The design was also exactly what we were looking for— she had several books of designs to look through, and we liked bits and pieces from several examples, which she was able to put together beautifully. She also coordinated with our florist so that real flowers could be added. We can’t wait to go back for our one year anniversary and get a recreation of our top tier!
Apr 11 · Mary BarrettWe worked with Custom Cake Design through our wedding venue. They provided a cake and cupcakes for our May 2025 wedding and did not disappoint! We wanted a fairly unique type of cake for our wedding - a honey cake - which is notoriously difficult to get right, but they knocked it out of the park. They were also very considerate in providing a gluten-free cupcake for a guest with a celiac allergy. Our guests were very happy with everything they provided, and we appreciated their flexibility in getting us exactly what we wanted for our wedding day.
