I am a huge fan of Smari Cakes! I have ordered a birthday cake from her for the past two years and couldn't be happier with the experience. The order process for her semi-custom cakes is a breeze - the website is well laid out, the order form is very intuitive and the turnaround time for an order is quick. Smari is friendly & professional in all communications leading up to the pick up date. The cakes themselves are stunning and delicious. There are so many fun designs to choose from - I love the floral dome style, very whimsical. And the lemon raspberry flavor is a perfect mix of moist cake, tart lemon and sweet raspberry preserves. Each year the cake is a huge hit - we get so many compliments about the taste and how beautiful they are! Happy to be a repeat customer and I wholeheartedly recommend Smari Cakes!

I ordered my birthday cake from Smari and I knew right away I would be coming back for any special events. This time we decided to order our wedding cake from SmariCakes. Our cake was beyond our dreams, so dreamy, classic and romantic. Smari captured our vision right away. We went for a chocolate and salted caramel flavor, everyone loved it!!! So soft, sweet enough with the caramel giving it a nice balance. It was the perfect touch for our special day! Will always come back and order from SmariCakes!

Recently, I had the pleasure of collaborating with Smari for a butterfly-themed first birthday party in November 2023, and let me tell you, she blew me away with her incredible cake design.Smari created the most stunning butterfly cake I've ever seen. The attention to detail was impeccable, and it was clear that she poured her heart and soul into every aspect of its design. As a photographer who loves capturing the intricate details of events, photographing Smari's cake was an absolute dream.Not only did her cakes photograph beautifully, but they also had this magical quality to them. The colors were vibrant, the decorations were intricate, and every little detail was perfect. It was clear that Smari puts a lot of love and care into her craft, and it truly shows in her creations.Working with Smari was a breeze. She was friendly, professional, and genuinely passionate about her work. She listened carefully to the client's vision and brought it to life in the most spectacular way possible.If you're looking for a cake designer who will exceed your expectations and create a masterpiece for your special occasion, look no further than Smari Cakes. Her talent, attention to detail, and passion for her craft shine through in every cake she creates.Thank you, Smari, for making our butterfly-themed first birthday party absolutely unforgettable. I can't wait for the next opportunity to collaborate with you again!

Smari cakes is the best cake maker in the Twin Cities. I have used her 2 times for custom birthday cakes and every time they came out perfectly. Her flavors are delicious too! I recommend the cookies and cream flavor!She has made me custom kids birthday cake and an elegant cake for my husband. I would use her again!

I cannot express how much we love SmariCakes! Smari herself is sweet and very easy to work with. We hired SmariCakes to make our wedding cake and it was so DELICIOUS that our guests are still talking about it. She had so many delicious flavors to choose from that it was hard to decide...but we went with Cookies & Cream (if I could have had an 8 tier cake with all the flavors, I would have). We gave her our colors and themes and let her do her thing. Not only was our cake the best we've ever had but it was also so incredibly GORGEOUS. You will not be disappointed by choosing her no matter the occasion of your cake. It will bring you tears of joy! Do it!! Thank you Smari for making our wedding cake everything we hoped for and more 🥰
