Amazing Kakes

Not only are their cakes yummy, but Yvette and Kim are some of the nicest and friendliest ladies, great personalities. The lace overlay on my cake didn't quite turn out as I thought it would but the cake was still beautiful and tastey. And one of the coolest things that they do is if you have your wedding cake done by Amazing Kakes, you get a 6 inch anniversary cake for your 1 year anniversary so you don't have to eat 1 year old frozen cake---a great idea.

My husband and I were looking for a wedding cake vendor in Austin and checked out several different options here. We knew we wanted an "Indian-looking" cake for our Indian wedding reception, but we didn't really know what that might look like.
Enter Yvette and Kim. What we loved instantly about Amazing Kakes, and what made us select them right away, was their enthusiasm and genuine excitement about everything to do with our wedding! Once we decided we wanted the cake to look like stacked cushions, they got to work right away on the design.. from asking for samples of our invitations to pictures of my wedding outfit and even actual cushion covers to replicate - they were all over the project with not much brainstorming required from our side! We ended up giving them a couple of cushion covers and a sample of my outfit to work with, and the result was INCREDIBLE. Words can't express how impressive the cake looked, I don't believe there was a single guest (or person checking out my wedding album on Facebook!) who did not awe and gush at the cake! It was truly an "Amazing Kake"!
Even better, it tasted JUST as great as it looked! We thought the leftovers would last as longer but there wasn't much chance of that with how delicious it was!
I highly recommend Yvette and Kim at Amazing Kakes to everyone, we had a wonderful experience working with them and are truly grateful to them for the masterpiece they created just for us. You have to see it to believe it:

Amazing Kakes was wonderful to work with! They had great ideas and created the cake of my dreams! It was also the tastiest cake I've ever had. HIGHLY recommend them to anyone!!

Amazing kakes were awesome. The cupcakes we to die for but what really stole the show was the grooms cake. They made my husband a cake out of the texas tower!! People still talk about it.plus,the ladies are friendly and great to work with.

The cake was absolutely AMAZING!!! Everyone at the wedding absolutely loved it and were so complementary. You can tell that these ladies love their job! They were incredibly professional and completely put us at ease.

I was very pleased with AmazingKakes' response and flexibility in meeting with me to discuss my needs. The cake was beautiful and was exactly what I had envisioned. The taste of the cake was fantastic! Everyone enjoyed it very much. The pricing was reasonable. I will use them again and will refer them to all my friends and family!!!

Yvette did an amazing 7 tier cake and an awesome golf green groom's cake for our wedding of 400 guests! The creative process and tasting was a fun experience! Yvette was easy to work with and listened to our ideas and made them more than we could have ever expected! All of our guests raved about how gorgeous and delicious our cakes were! We highly recommend Yvette and her team!

Amazing!!! My husband wanted a catfish grooms cake.
It was perfect!!! The best chocolate cake we have ever had.
From start to finish there service was above and beyond!!!
Prices were very reasonable. All the guest had to have a picture
Of it!!!

After reading all the reviews, Amazing Kakes was the only baker with whom we scheduled a tasting, and after one taste, we were hooked. Amazing Kakes truly lives up to its name: our cake looked absolutely amazing, and it tasted even better.

Our cake was three layers (plus two more faux layers, for no additional cost), and each layer was a different flavor. Expecting a few people to get a second piece because of the different flavors, we ordered enough cake to feed 120 people, although we were only expecting 100. We ended up with just over 70 guests. Our guests kept going back for seconds and thirds, and we had no leftovers! Seventy people ate enough cake for 120! The only downside to having such a delicious cake is we had none to take home except the single piece of each flavor the venue saved for us.

Fortunately, Amazing Kakes will bake us a fresh cake for our first anniversary, complementary with the purchase of a wedding cake – no year-old, freezer-burned cake for us. We can’t wait!

Really enjoyed working with these ladies---they knew exactly what we wanted and helped create the perfect cakes from our vision. Would definitely recommend them to everyone!

Kim and Yvette created the most "amazing" cake I have ever seen. It was so beautiful that it didn't look real. So many of the guests went on and on about the cake that I felt like it held the place of honor. I almost felt guilty to cut such a beautiful creation. It was truly a work of art and tasted good too! We chose Italian Cream and were very happy with our choice.

Yvette was wonderful and accommodated us on what we envisioned for our cake. Amazing Cakes went above and beyond for our beautiful wedding cake.

Amazing Kakes came highly recommended by our wedding coordinator and they did not disappoint. We chose to go with cake balls of various different flavors and a small cake for the topper which held a set of bobble heads. The flavor of the cake balls and small cake was amazing and incredibly moist. The cake balls were a hit at the wedding with both the kids and the adults and we were thrilled with the outcome.

Thank you so much for making our big day perfect!

Kim and Yvette did a fabulous job on my husband's groom's cake. He wanted something out of the ordinary and they went out of their way to create it from a small toy and a website that highlighted the design of a larger version of an Imperial Star Destroyer. I was more than blown away when they delivered it and it was just like the toy- ONLY larger!!! It even had working lights! Amazing Kakes outdid themselves!

Our cake was AMAZING!!! We had so many compliments on how beautiful it was as well as how INCREDIBLE it tastes. And the best part is we dont have a top cake tier sitting in our freezer waiting to eat at our one year anniversary because they will send us a fresh one on our anniversary instead!!!

Yvette was fantastic! My husband and I could feel her enthusiasm and passion during the first meeting we had with her. She was so excited to make our cakes and it was very obvious that her job is more than just a job. Yvette is definitely an artist! Our cake was beautiful, and funky (we wanted something "offbeat") Thanks to Yvette to adding the uniqueness we desired on our Special Day!

Yvette Rocks!! We could tell as soon as we met her that she was passionate about her cakes. Then we tried them...mercy!! It's hard to find a cake with fondant that actually tastes decent matched with a good tasting cake and hers way over-exceeded on both. We wanted to have cakes that would be long-remembered and she nailed it. She made us a 4-tier upside down cake (with the smallest piece on bottom & largest on top) and it turned out fantastic! The main focus was on the groom's cake. We wanted the groom's cake to look like a cigar humidor. Not resemble one, actually LOOK like one. She made a chocolate fondant with a woodgrain look and pulled it off wonderfully. I had people at the wedding excited about the open humidor and were asking if the cigars were handouts (they didn't realize they were chocolate cigars laying on top) and if they could have one. She hit the nail on the head and impressed the whole wedding party. The almond cake with the amaretto layer was delicious as well as it was gorgeous. Oh yeah, and the best part, she makes a small anniversary cake for you a year after (instead of freezing the cake top for a year) so you have a fresh cake for your 1 year anniversary instead of a frostbitten, soggy, thawed out, year old cake. Hot Diggity, thanks again, Yvette!!!

My cakes were beautiful, Yvette was very flexible and able to pull off a beautiful custom grooms cake.

Yvette Humbert of Amazing Cakes of Austin created two masterpieces for our wedding and my husband and I cannot say enough great things about her! She is professional, kind, punctual, and artistically gifted. You can tell that she loves her job and that she's doing what she is meant to be doing!

I planned my Austin wedding from a different city while I was in the middle of a busy year of law school, so I didn't want to stress about my wedding cake and worry about whether it would look or taste right. I had enough to stress about! After visiting a few other Austin area vendors, my mom, fiancee and I met with Yvette at a convenient location, and she made us feel at ease about her ability to create what we envisioned for our wedding, even though we weren't quite sure what we wanted! After seeing some of Yvette's prior work, we knew we were in amazingly good hands! It was important for me that our cake represent some of the countries I grew up in, and Yvette completely understood this and ran with our theme and color scheme. I had vague ideas about what I wanted for our cakes, and Yvette filled in those gaps with her skills and experience to create two cakes that were beyond our expectations.

Our wedding cake ended up being a focal point at our reception! Everyone was talking about it, and people still mention how beautiful and delicious our wedding cake was! Our wedding was the best day of our lives thus far, and we are so thankful that Yvette was able to be a part of it.

When we think about our wedding day, it brings back so many great memories...and we think of the warm feelings and friends surrounding us all day. I highly recommend Amazing Cakes of Austin! Yvette will take care of the details so that you can focus on getting married and spending time with your loved ones...while you enjoy the delicious cake, of course!

I have to say the cakes that yvette did an outstanding job. She got all our information on what we wanted and the taste test was superb. There are some down falls like the fondant on the outside of the cakes was a little thicker than we thought it would be but once you got to the cakes themselves they were great. She is very friendly and works well with military and others. She is very professional and delivers a great product. I really like that she asked us for something to challenge her and is not afraid to take it on. I want to thank you Yvette and if we ever know of anyone that is getting married in the area we will definately get your name out there.

Her cakes speak for themselves. I still have friends telling me how delicious the cake was. I could not have asked for more! I wouldn't hesitate to order another cake or recommend these cakes to anyone.

If you are looking for a great wedding cake or grooms cake decorator, Yvette Humbert is THE person to go to! Her cakes are amazing! She is one of the top cake decorators recommended by the Red Corral Ranch in Wimberley, TX and for a good reason! My husband and I were married on September 19, and from the beginning of our planning time, Yvette was so helpful! Just by looking at her pictures of the cakes she can do I was sold! I brought I picture in for Yvette of the exact cake I wanted, and she got it down perfectly! My husband is a police officer, so his groom's cake was his patch. Again, perfect! She had everything delivered to the reception site on time, and setup ready to go! Not only are her cakes amazing, but the taste is even better! We had a red velvet cake with buttercream icing. I have received so many compliments regarding the cakes that I was shocked! I knew my husband and I loved the look and taste of the cakes, but to hear how many of our guests told us the cakes were great just confirmed that I had the perfect person create our wedding and groom's cake. I would highly, and I mean highly, recommend Yvette Humbert for your next wedding or event in general!

I would like to say that one of the things I liked most about my wedding was my cake!! Yvette not only made my cakes to my specification, but they were also beautiful and tasted AMAZING! She definitely took the time to really understand how I wanted my cakes to look, even if it required extra time to think through how to incorporate all the themes I wanted my cake to represent. The highest compliment I can relay to Yvette is that my grandmother (who is a baker herself) said that my wedding cake was the most delicious cake she has EVER tasted and I'd have to say everyone at my wedding would agree with that statement. Thank you Yvette and I WILL be referring my friends to you and using you for all my future cake needs. - Alexis FitzPatrick

We had Yvette make both our wedding and groom's cake, and they truly were AMAZING! Most of our communication was carried out via email and through drawings because we had an out of town wedding, and both of the cakes looked and tasted incredible. They exceeded our expectations! She also gives a 15% discount for firefighters, police officers, and military! My husband is a firefighter, and the cost for our wedding and groom's cake for 125 people totaled $600 (this included delivery). And the wedding cake had 4 layers/tier! All I can say is AMAZING!!

In addition to being incredibly talented, Yvette is charming and easy to work with. She listened to our ideas and requests and delivered a stellar cake. We had many compliments from guests on both, the artistry and the taste!

Amazing Cakes of Austin are truly just that - Amazing in every way. I had both a wedding cake and groom's cake for my wedding. The cakes are stunningly beautiful and photograph really well. They are honestly the most delicious cakes I have ever tasted. From the moment I had the first cake at the tasting, I knew I had to have Amazing Cakes of Austin. Yvette takes the time to understand the details of your wedding so that cake fits perfectly. She took a sample of the lace from my dress so that the cake would match my dress. She knew our wedding would be outside, so she made sure that she used the right ingredients so it would stand up to the ninety degree heat that day. Amazing Cakes of Austin was the best of all my wedding vendors (I had 17 different vendors.) On the couple's one year anniversary, she bakes them a fresh cake to enjoy. I am not lying when I say I've been looking forward all year to having her cake again! If you want a cake that is perfect in every way, please go with Amazing Cakes of Austin!!

We worked with Yvette for our August 2008 wedding. She was very knowledgeable and helpful. We loved our wedding cake and she did an amazing job on my husbands groom cake. It was a Chinook Helicopter! She has very good communication and quick response time. I would recommend using this vendor for your wedding cake needs! Her prices were also very fair! Thanks again for making our wedding wonderful!!

I wish I could include a photo here because I promise you that Yvette's cakes are the most amazing you will ever see. I simply could not have been happier with this delicious art. We had a smaller budget for cakes but it looked like we spent spared no expense on them. In fact, the cakes were the most flawless part of the wedding and are still talked about by everyone - including some folks who weren't even there. First, there was the big wedding cake that was so elegant and ridiculously yummy. But then there was the show-stealing groom's cake, which had a huge line around the table of people taking pictures. It was shaped into the most true-to-life stack of travel books of all the places my husband and I had visited. The detail was shocking. They were so real looking, in fact, that one late arriving guest actually leaned on it with his elbow thinking it was an actual stack of books. A magazine that was covering the wedding requested extra photos of only one thing - the cakes! Frankly, Yvette under-charges for her masterpieces and is so flexible and available that you just want to hug her for making something easy about the wedding planning. It is by far the best money you will spend on your wedding. Yvette is nothing short of a miracle worker.

Both of our cakes tasted fantastic, were delivered promptly, and were exactly what we wanted!

The only reason I didn't give them full 5 stars was that they still didn't get the color of my cake correct, even though I gave them color samples & a copy of the invitation.

The cake looked pretty & tasted great. Much easier to work with than some of the other well-known or larger bakeries in town.

We got both wedding cake and groom's cake from Amazing Kakes. The service was great. Delicious cakes and very responsive to my emails and requests. We had a very simple design on our wedding cake and no design on the groom's cake so we can really judge the design creativity in that aspect. All in all we are very happy with our cakes and services.

I shopped around for wedding cakes and in the end I was happy to choose Amazing Kakes. What ended up selling us was that the sample cakes were amazing and the prices were very reasonable. They were very responsive to our ideas and worked hard to create our vision. My husband and I met at Best Buy so we wanted a grooms cake that payed homage to this. They created an ADORABLE geek squad shirt that everyone loved. The cakes were just as amazing as the samples and everyone kept commenting on how good they were. Great vendor!

These women did such a wonderful job. the cakes where fabulous, they looked beautiful and elegant, and there tasted fantastic. the women where kind and helpful when it came to getting what I wanted, they delivered to my event and set the cakes up, and the price was well in my budget.

It was good

Amazing Kakes was incredibly responsive and easy to work with. They accepted a difficult request on a short timeline and executed flawlessly. The cake was truly amazing. I've never had better. I highly recommend them to anyone who desires a stress-free experience in the midst of a wedding (or anniversary, birthday, other).

The cakes and cake shots that Amazing Kakes provided us were amazing and tasted exactly how we wanted. However we were never sent a contract and when we finally got one it wasn't clear and had notes scribbled all over it. Emails weren't promptly answered (sometimes we had to before we got a response) and flavor questions were asked of me (the bride) two days before the wedding.

The price of everything was very reasonable and as I said the taste was great - on the day of they were perfect and so was the set up and the cake and desserts. They were also right on time and extremely flexible with our changes. While we would recommend them as a company to check out, we'd warn future clients that sometimes the artsy side and the business side of the business may communication...

The cake vendor took me the longest to choose, but once I tasted the cake flavors with Kim I immediately decided to go with Amazing Kakes. There is definitely NO QUESTION that stuff tastes heads above others in Austin. The price per slice is also reasonable in comparison.

The groom's cake turned out well and tasted the best (Mexican Chocolate). It was a 3-D design of a pint glass. It kinda resembled a bucket and was creasing at the bottom, but it was an incredibly ambitious design and well done overall. Everyone loved it, myself included.

Sadly, I titled this Half and Half because the design of the bridal cake was disappointing and poorly executed. When we had discussed the design of the cake I had settled on a brushed embroidery pattern of white on peach. Other stupilations were minimal fondant and few flower accents. I wanted nothing atop the cake and had asked that two flowers be placed on the cake (for symbolic purposes). There was also supposed to be the ribbon edging along the bottom of each tier, but in a loose design, as though it was just laid across.

SO, writing that down it sounds like a lot...of course errors can be made. Unfortunately, we received a cake that cared none of those features. Albeit on time, they delivered a cake that was pink with a flower fountain coming out of the top. I do not care for the color pink in the least, so I definitely did a double take :-). There was not an ounce of the brushed embriodery I had asked for. In its place they made fondant cutouts in a vintage patterm that they dusted the edging of to match the ribbon at the tier bottoms. Then there were the ribbons. On several of the layers you could immediately see where they put several pieces together, not just the creases of one straight piece. I understand little about making cakes, but I understand the idea of making something look finished. There were also several places on the thin, disporportionate ribbons where you could see finger indentions in something that should resemble effortlessness. I had called only a week before to confirm the cake order, and it was repeated to me, only to be forgotten.

The cake was cluttered and overworked. It was a fine looking cake, but it was sadly the least professional looking thing about the whole event. No one has told me it looked bad. I agree that it looked ok. My problem is that it was not my style. I had asked and paid for something else.

This does not to seem to be a common trend though, so maybe they were having a bad week. It was April, which is the busy season. Shit happens! Everything still turned out well!

Yvette has an amazing talent that I have yet to find in another cake vendor. Her creativity is unbelievable. The attention to detail they give is incredible! They love a challange and always come through above and beyond the bride & grooms expectations. If you are looking for a memorable and unforgettable wedding/ grooms cake.... Choose Amazing Kakes!! They are the best out there.

Yvette has been a preferred vendor for several years and continues to create the most amazing, beautiful and tasty cakes. I have known her to stay up all night to finish some of her 'works of art' that people not only get to go 'wow' over, but also to savor!
