Chris's Confections

Chris's cakes were so delicious! All of our guests complimented how fantastic the cake look and tasted. We couldn't have dreamed it any better.

Chris was wonderful to work with and she made us the most beautiful wedding cake, just like we wanted it!!!

We worked with Chris on the cake for our wedding this summer. She did an amazing job with everything. She had a lot of great ideas to choose from for a design and did a beautiful job decorating the actual cake. The cake was also delicious, which is not something that is guaranteed in a wedding cake, we received many complements on how wonderful it was. She was very professional and responds well to email and phone calls. I have already recommended her to friends and will continue to do so!

We were very pleased with our decision to have Chris's Confections do our wedding cake. Working with Chris to design our cake was one of the easiest and most enjoyable parts of planning the wedding. (The only hard part was determining which of the many yummy cake flavors to choose!) The cake turned out more beautiful than I ever imagined it. I almost didn't want to cut into it, but I'm glad we did because it was equally as delicious! Chris was always prompt to respond to inquiries and made the whole process very simple. We recommend her very highly.

The cake was absolutely delicious!! The cake arrived on time to the reception looking exactly as I pictured it. Our guests could not stop raving about how moist it was.

When you see Chris' work she has on display, it is beautiful, very clean and neat. Unfortunately, my cake on my wedding was somewhat sloppy. I remember her saying she had at least 2 weddings that day, which may have caused this, but either way, I was slightly disappointed. However, the cake still TASTED great!

Our cake was beautiful and delicious!

PERFECT!! That is all I have to say! Chris's cake she made for us was absolutley PERFECT!!!! Not only was it stunningly beautiful, it tasted amazing!! We were able to pick out 3 flavors for our cake to satisfy a variety of people. Believe me it was hard to choose only three. The cake we ordered was sooo moist and the buttercream was the best balance between sweet (but not too sweet) and creamy. YUM! We chose almond poppyseed, chocolate turtle, and classic white. Every single person at our wedding commented on how much they loved the cake.
I would definitley recommend Chris's Confections for your wedding cake. We tasted ALL the vendors in Madison. Believe me, don't waste your time going anywhere else, use Chris! The Bonus: we get a free cake for our 1st anniversary!

My wedding cake was everything I ever dreamed it would be. Chris was wonderful through the entire process. She walked us through the initial tasting, she answered any questions I had from the moment I contacted her to our wedding day. I brought her a picture of a very difficult, time consuming cake design that she had never seen or tried before. The result was absolutely beautiful and amazing. Throughout the night, I received tons of compliments on how great the cake tasted. I would definitely recommend Chris!‎

The cake was very good, but it was NOT worth the hassle of dealing with Chris Olson. She was rude, disrespectful, and just an overall pain. Anytime I'd question anything, i.e. why she said my cake had to be delivered 12 hours in advance to the venue (and she said not to refrigerate it --just let it sit out on the table for 12 hours!) she got really defensive and snide with me. I just asked the question because my venue had never had a cake delivered that early before and they thought it was strange. Turns out, she had 7 other weddings she had to deliver cakes to that day (she made it sound like we were her only wedding that day). So, since it's just her running that business, I'm wondering when my cake actually got made. Every conversation I had with her, she was snide and just had poor customer service skills in general. I'd NEVER use her again.

Our cake looked and tasted amazing! Would highly recommend Chris!

The cake tasted amazing. Chris is great about the variety of samples that she offers during the tasting. It really helped us to select the perfect cake.

Chris's cakes taste amazing! That was the most important thing for me the fact that it looked amazing was an added bonus. We had three different flavors in our cake. There were so many choices but we went with amaretto butter with almond filling, chocolate with turtle filling, and French vanilla with strawberry cheesecake filling. They were all great but the Amaretto butter is my favorite and the reason I went with Chris. The cake looked beautiful it was exactly as we had discussed.

Chris was wonderful! We had three different flavors in our tiered, buttercream cake, and got compliments on all three flavors. She allowed to have multiple tastings (one with Mom and one with my fiance). She was very helpful and flexible with design and flavor changes. We have heard wonderful things about her from other customers and wedding vendors as well.

Our wedding cake was so beautiful and Chris sat down and worked with us to be sure that we had our dream wedding cake! She was very fast at responding back whenever I had a question. I would highly recommend Chris' Confections!! We ended up with three different flavors- chocolate with turtle filling, white almond poppyseed with raspberry and french vanilla with strawberry & creamcheese, SO amazing! I can't wait to contact her a couple weeks before our 1 year anniversary to get our anniversary cake so we can enjoy it all over again!

"Thanks, Chris, for the beautiful cake! You did such a wonderful job and it looked every bit as beautiful as I imagined. I am so glad that I ordered an extra tier... Michael and I were able to enjoy it for a whole week after the honeymoon!"

Everyone raved about my cake and it looked gorgeous! I can't wait for the first anniversary so I can get a fresh cake from Chris to celebrate!

I had wanted to have individual cakes at each of the tables that looked like presents for my Winter Wedding. Many other bakers would not do this for me but Chris was up to the challenge. She did an amazing job! All 27 cakes were beautiful and tasted amazing! I was so impressed with her work and would definitley recommend her to anyone!

Chris did a great job on our cake. It was exactly as we had discussed and tasted delicious! We would definitely recommend her.

Our cake was excellent and beautiful. Chris was very willing to work with us to create our vision. One thing that happened was a large amount of the cake was stuck to the supportive dowels when the kitchen removed them making us run short on cake even though we had ordered 30 pieces more than we needed so we had to serve ice cream to the children so the cake was available to all guests. Our reception venue said they had never seen this happen with one of Chris's cakes before though.

This bakery is a hidden gem out of McFarland, WI. My friends still tell me that they crave my wedding cake! Chris runs the operation out of her home, and she takes care of her clients like they are family! Included in the price of our wedding cake, was a freshly baked "one year anniversary topper" that she made for us! How cute is that!?! Chris made us a 5-tier wedding cake, there were only about 150 people at our wedding and only 6 pieces remained at the end of the night! Our guests were going up for seconds, because it was so delicious! Since our wedding colors were fuchsia and turquoise (two very loud colors) Chris had the brilliant idea of marbleizing them, so they weren't too harsh. I loved the idea, and the cake looked beautiful! Her prices were SO reasonable- we really lucked out in finding Chris's Confections! Delicious, great service, excellent craftsmanship, nice price, and the freshly baked one year anniversary cake topper is definitely the "icing on the cake!"

Exception service and great quality tasting cake! Couldn't of asked for anything better, would reccomend you to everyone.
Thanks.

Chris does amazing cakes!

Chris is an artist who happens to work with food and not just any food but amazing looking and tasting 'confections' (which we think is a fancy word for good sweet stuff). She is one of those cake bakers (or confection makers) whose cakes make a statement, sometimes sentimental, sometimes funny, but it is always a joy to have the visually stimulating and palette pleasing experience of Chris's Confections! Enjoy them when you can!
