    The Best Gluten Free Desserts Ever!!

    Not a single dessert was left after our wedding and we bought a ton of extras just in case. No one could tell they were all gluten free! As a gluten free bride it was nice to be able to try everything at my wedding. Amanda was supper accommodating to whatever amount and whatever flavor of cupcake, cookie, bar, etc. wanted at our wedding. Our wedding cake turned out exactly like we talked about and was so delicious! I can’t wait to hire her for future events! Photo credits:RickyCrystalPhotography

    Amazing Cakes

    My husband and I used Amanda for our cakes at our June wedding. I have Celiac Disease and Amanda was fully prepared to make all of our cakes gluten-free. All of my guests loved the cupcakes we ordered, especially the brown butter bourbon peach cupcake. She did a beautiful job and I was so happy to be able to safely enjoy all of the cupcakes at my wedding. We highly recommend Uncommon Cakes because of how easy Amanda is to communicate with, how accommodating they are, and most importantly how delicious and beautifully decorated the cakes were.

    Amanda's cake was the star at our event!

    Amanda created a beautiful and incrediblly delicious two tier, two flavor cake for our son and his wife to celebrate their recent marriage. Amanda was flexible, creative, very responsive and easy to work with in this process. I cannot imagine anything better than working with her and I highly recommend her services!

    She was amazing!

    Uncommon Cakes was the perfect choice for our wedding desserts! From the beginning, communication with Amanda was easy, responsive, and accommodating. She made sure we were happy every step of the way, offering an extensive list of cake and cupcake flavors. Amanda was the perfect addition to our wedding day - her attention to detail and willingness to customize flavors made the desserts a huge hit with our guests. The quality and taste of the cake and cupcakes were amazing, and we couldn't have asked for a better vendor to work with. Highly recommend Uncommon Cakes for any couple's wedding day!

    Perfect cake and cupcakes!!

    Caleb and I were OBSESSED with our wedding cake!! I have a huge sweet tooth, and while some girls dreamt of their wedding dress, I dreamt of my cake. We went with a cutting cake (champagne wildberry), and his and her favorite flavor of cupcakes (creme brulee and strawberry matcha). We were drawn to work with Amanda after seeing the incredible and unique flavor choices she offered. We were able to do a tasting of a few different flavors, which Amanda was so helpful in organizing! The worst part was having to choose a flavor and not have one of everything! Our cake was beautifully decorated, in addition to being delicious!
