She met up with us and is very professional. We met her 4 yrs prior to the wedding in hopes of having a wedding. Well those plans fell thru and when we were finally able to have a wedding we looked her up 3 yrs later because she is that good.
Our cake was BEAUTIFUL. Half strawberry short cake and half raspberry marble. The icing was half chocolate and half cream cheese.
Our guests were complimenting how good the cake was and curious who made it. Her pricing is very...
GUEST




Kelley Kakes was the perfect choice for my wedding. We had a tasting of four huge mini cakes and she was so friendly and had such creative amazing cakes. Her cake tasted perfectly moist with great flavors and the icing was superb. It was a little difficult at times to get a hold of her, but overall it wasn't a big issue. On the wedding day she came and set up the whole cake there layer by layer and put our flowers and cake topper on! I couldn't believe how beautiful the cake was!
Kelley is very professional and so creative I am so glad that we picked her to do our wedding...

We couldn't be happier to have had Kelley make our amazing, DELICIOUS wedding cake this past June. We met with several bakeries who came with amazing reviews, but who didn't deliver the quality and deliciousness that Kelley did. After meeting with her, my husband and I signed the contract that night, and we were amazed at how well she saw our vision and at how wonderful she was to work with. Our cake was absolutely exquisite and so different, and not to mention tasted amazing. We have nothing but wonderful things to say about our experience with her and would recommend her to anyone.
GUEST




Best wedding cake I have ever had! Kelley is a baking master. She is extremely creative and easy to work with. I wish we still had some leftover cake....
GUEST




Kelley is WONDERFUL on so many levels! She is so professional and such a pleasure to work with. My wedding cake was stunning and it was even better than I thought it would be. Kelley is an amzing artist and even as beautiful as the cake was, it tasted even better! I was so pleased, and I just can't say enough good things about her! :)
GUEST




Kelley is great! So creative and such a pleasure to work with. The only "negative"? Well, there were supposed to be real flowers on the cake which never happened - not sure if she forgot, never ordered them from the florist, or what. Bottom line was that the cake was stunning even without them AND the cake was DELICIOUS!
Vendor response to review
The florist was not aware flowers were supposed to be there:(
GUEST




Kelley is amazing! Her cakes are the most delicious cakes we've ever had! (and my mom is a pastry chef!) Her prices are more than reasonable. She is so creative and talented. She created two cakes for us & developed a grooms cake that was the talk of the wedding. We can't wait to eat our anniversary cake, and to use her for many upcoming occasions!
GUEST




Kelley is a true artist. She can design anything you could possibly want and her cakes are delicious on top of that!
GUEST




Kelley Kakes was great. They agreed to do my cake super last minute, had great flavors with a ton to choose from, and she makes personalized cake toppers out of clay that you can keep! The only thing that was a bummer was that one of the colors on my cake was wrong. But its just cake, and other than that it was great working with them!
Vendor response to review
Future clients--- a week and a half is an incredibly short time to give yourself to plan out an aspect of your wedding. It creates more work and stress for you and details (like color swatches) are missed. All of your major event elements should be chosen several months prior to your big day!
GUEST




The cake was beautiful, and the smaller gluten free/vegan cake was delicious. One of the best I've ever had.
GUEST




Kelley at Kelley's Kakes was amazing to work with and our wedding cake was beautiful. The options of flavors, fillings and icings are very extensive and the cake tasted great.
GUEST




Our cake was beautiful and delicious! Kelley is a wonderful and nice woman with a fabulous talent. We enjoyed working with her. :o)
GUEST




Wow. Kelley is absolutely the best cake designer in the state of Colorado. In my job, I happen to taste a lot of good cake... Kelley blows everyone out of the water. At our tasting, we couldn't believe how good every cake tasted. They were all amazing. We actually left it up to Kelley to choose the different flavors because we so trusted her opinion.
I chose to have a cake table with 5-6 different cakes on unique cake stands (and a candy bar mixed in, as well). We discussed the look I wanted and I felt confident she knew my vision. So I sent Kelley all my cake stands for her to pick the ones she wanted to use along with my inspiration board with colors, etc and left the designs up to her. To say they turned out fantastic is doing her a disservice - the cakes were so much better than I could have expected. Everybody loved the designs, and most importantly, loved the way they tasted. So glad we used Kelley. The experience was wonderful!
GUEST




Our Cakes we Amazing! I loved my wedding cake and it was so yummy! My Husband loved his huskers cake which was made out of brownies! I can wait to get a cake made for my husbands birthday! she is an amazing person to work with!
GUEST




Kelley was a great person to work with, extremely helpful and flexible. Best of all her pricing is unbeatable!! I visited multiple bakeries. I wanted a topsy turvy cake which I later learned is one of the most expensive cakes to order, almost double what a "regular" wedding cake was going for. When I met with Kelley not only did she work with me to make a custom wedding cake, exactly what I wanted but it was less expensive than the "regular" cakes I had seen other places. Kelley not only worked with me to create a custom cake, but was very helpful and creative to add more than I had even thought of. I would recommend checking with Kelley before commiting anywhere else.
GUEST




From the beginning, I knew Kelley was the perfect person to do our wedding cake. All we did was give her a picture of what we wanted the cake to look like and she recreated it beautifully. Her cake flavors were absolutely mouth watering (the Strawberry Champagne is worth the extra cost, it's just amazing!). It was one of the most memorable parts of our reception, and we received many compliments on how delicious the cake was. Kelley was extremely professional, while still being personable, fun and easy going. Our cake arrived on time, and without a single problem. I HIGHLY recommend her, and I have. One of my friends is getting married in the fall, and after meeting with a less-than-spectacular baker, she met with Kelley and booked her on the spot. Also, you have to check out her blog, under Kelley's Kitchen, it lets you see how wonderful and unique a person and professional Kelley is, and it has lots of character. Book her now! It will be the least stressful part of your wedding planning, I promise :)
GUEST




For me the most important part of "The Cake" was not the cake. The most important part was the peace of mind I received knowing that it was going to be perfect. Knowing that it would beat even my high expectations (which it did) made me wish I could pay her double what she asked just as a way of saying thank you.
Kelley is joy incarnate. She fills the entire process with laughter and hope and makes selecting a wedding cake for my wedding everything I always dreamed it would be.
GUEST




Kelley was very kind and professional. She was flexible - and helped us with a groom's cake which was a bit out of the ordinary. Unfortunately we were extremely dissapointed with the way the cakes looked on the wedding day. What a shame!
Vendor response to review
I'd like to comment on this one. This, quite frankly, surprised the heck out of me! I never once heard from this couple after their wedding and while I was setting up the cake her family members watching me said it looked just like the sketch made at our meeting. After I read this I immediately emailed the bride and have received no response. If it were me and I wasn't happy with something, I sure as heck would have talked to the vendor. I have also called the venue and other vendors involved in this wedding to see if they were aware of a problem. They weren't. In addition I feel calling me unresponsive and overpriced is unfair. I always responded to her emails and calls. I answered every question asked and frequently went over all details. I did not charge them for their groom's cake (which cost me nearly $100 in rush online orders for specific ingredients during the holidays) and they also received a discount on their wedding cake.
I'm not at all happy to have to write this, but again, I found this review so utterly shocking that I had to.
GUEST




Kelley was absolutely wonderful!!! My cake was everything I imagined and better! She worked around my schedule, coming to my house to show me pictures of her past cakes and even responded to each of my million emails (thank you for that, you kept me sane ^_^) during the whole wedding planning process. She was even able to take it in stride that my new father in law was allergic to chocolate and help us choose a new flavor. I don't know what I would of done without her!! Thank you!!
GUEST




Kelley did our wedding cake, and has since done several other cakes for us. We love her! Her cakes are amazing, they taste great, the look great, it's a win, win. My mother in law still cannot stop talking about our wedding cake and how good it was.
GUEST




Kelley first did my son's wedding cake last May; last minute we decided to surprise him with a grooms cake as well - Kelley was instrumental in the idea process and in the end, both cakes were fantastic in both taste and look! Kelley also did a cake for my parent's 50th anniversary in December. We did not have many requirements - elegant with touches of gold. My sister and I stood looking at the cake and when I couldn't contain myself any more, I said this makes me cry, and my sister said "me too!" and we were both a mess for a few minutes - absolutely gorgeous!
GUEST




Great cake! It was finished to the end and looked beautiful. I don't know what I would have done without them.
GUEST




We love Kelly...our centerpieces were cakes and i love how they came out.Our guest loves how they look but most important how the cakes tastes. The cakes were moist and delicous. We highly recommend her to all friends and family.




Our cakes were gorgeous! We met with Kelley in January for our October wedding and didn't talk much after booking. I emailed her our cake flavors a few weeks before. I had planned on making a cake stand the week of the wedding but I was too sick so my Husband called her on Thursday before the wedding to let her know I couldn't do it. She called the caterer and between them they worked it all out and I didn't have to be involved. I left flowers for her to decorate the cake with and she did and amazing job. It was so pretty. Everything we had asked for and it tasted great (according to the guests). We had asked for enough cake to feed 100 people and I think we could have fed 200. The entire Groom's cake and top layer of the wedding cake are in our freezer.
GUEST




Kelley was absolutely amazing to work with! Her creativity is unlimited and we had a blast putting together our wedding cake and groom's cake. The cakes were beautiful, even better than the inspiration pictures we sent. On top of being beautiful, both tasted AMAZING. Our guests loved them and still comment on how good the cake was.
If I could buy her butter cream and eat it for breakfast, I would, with my fingers, it was so yummy! Definitely go with Kelley Kakes, you won't be disappointed!
GUEST




Not only ws the cake gorgeous. But Kelley is a true artist and a great person. Plus, the cake tasted amazing!! Not just a pretty piece.
GUEST




Our cake was DELICIOUS! Kelley makes a tasty cake and they're pretty too.
I would highly recommend her. The only thing that's a drawback is that she is REALLY hard to get a hold of. She's so nice and a real artist, but I had a tough time reaching her and in the end, I loved the taste and design of my cake, but the colors weren't quite right. She suggested some colors and I had replied asking for some adjustments which didn't end up happening. In the end, no one knew but me and everyone RAVED about the cake - both taste and looks! She's also really quite a value for the price. Just know that it sometimes takes a while for her to get back to you - so start finalizing things EARLY and you'll be thrilled!
Vendor response to review
Yep, I dropped the ball here--- typically I'm right on it, but I was in the process of moving as well and was absolutely harder to track down. Kelley
GUEST




Kelley did an amazing job with our cake. We had a wild, quirky idea that I had drawn up and she did an awesome job creating exactly what we were looking for. The cake tasted great, even a year later, and all of our guest were thrilled with it (and the grooms cake)! The cake was quite a hit with the guest and we still get complements on it. Kelley was a joy to work with and very flexible. She is a talented amazing cake artist and I highly recommend her.
GUEST




Kelley's work is both beautiful and extremely tasty. By far the best wedding cake I've ever had (I only wish I'd had more time to try all our flavors!). Very relaxed and easy to work with.
GUEST




Kelley made cupcakes for my wedding and they were AMAZING! She was so creative and a pleasure to work with. And the cupcakes were delicious. Her cupcakes are reasonably priced, have intricate designs and are all filled with some sort of yummy cream. Highly recommended.

I'm not a cake lover, but Kelley changed that...I loved my wedding cake, and not just me, everybody in my party was amazed with the delicious and beautiful cake. Kelly will find the way to make you happy:). She is the Best!. Patty.
GUEST




Kelley Kakes was great. Kelley got together with my wife and everything was so easy and she has it down to a science. Just giver her the size cake, colors, flavors, and it's a done deal. She handles eveything so easily. Our cake was beautiful and people commented on it too. She is very creative and flexible. She will handle whatever size cake or cakes you need. I highly recommend her for your wedding day or any other big event that needs a beautiful finished cake. kurt & Patty.
GUEST




Kelly is quite the creator! She made my husband and I a beautifully elegant wedding cake and the neatest groom's cake two years ago. Kelly was able to take a few vague ideas from my husband, and designed his crazy monkey-themed cake which completely represented his funny personality and wishes. Kelly is extremely creative and offers many delicious flavors, almond-sour cream being my ultimate favorite!
GUEST




Can't say enough about Kelly and Iced Dreams...not only did we have a beautiful cake, we had a delicious cake -- rare for wedding cake! People were talking about it....are still talking about how good, moist and tasty it was. Easy to work with.
GUEST




Very helpful in providing options and making the selection. Ultimately they did a fantastic job and I would definitely recommend!
GUEST




I ordered my wedding cake from Kelley when she was "Iced Dreams" and I loved it! I had guests tell me they went back to try all three flavors of our cake and how great it was! She was so great to work with, she came to my place with samples and not just once, but twice. Everything she made was wonderful and she has so many pictures of things she's done that it helped tremendously in figuring out just what I wanted. She was very affordable and had many options to keep within any budget.
GUEST




Kelley was the best! She created a stunning and delicious wedding cake that was exactly what I envisioned... only better than I dreamed, actually. She was delightful to work with, open to our off-beat ideas and excited about creating something fun and tasty. My husband still raves about his Irish Car Bomb Guinness groom's cake shaped like a pint of Guinness, and we just ate the cake-topper at our one year anniversary, and it was still better than many fresh wedding cakes I've tasted... despite a cross-country trip and two moves in and out of the freezer! Her prices were completely reasonable, and she is a total sweetie!
GUEST




We sort of decided to have a cake about 3 weeks before the wedding, and I was really impressed that Kelley was able to accommodate us that late in the game. Although we didnÂ’t have time to sample the cake ahead of time, the flavors were all really good (the chocolate explosion with mocha filling went REALLY fast), and the cake looked just how I had envisioned. The prices were reasonable for the personal attention that Kelley gives you and the attention given to the cake detail.
GUEST




The cake was the best that I have ever tasted and the shape was exactly what I wanted. The only reason that I gave them a less than exceptional review is that the guest count that I gave them was a maximum and when I tried to lower the count I was told that I could not go lower, only higher.
Vendor response to review
We charge per serving going by the guest count given to us, not by how many slices each layer will actually serve (meaning typically there is more cake than needed because we like our cakes to be balanced looking)... however there are times when we just cannot alter the design to make it any smaller than originally planned because it would look out of proportion or just get weird:) I'm not positive if this is what happened in this case, but I appreciate your comment and am thrilled that you liked your cake!
GUEST




This was my favorite vendor. Kelley clearly loves what she does, and was just as excited about my cake as I was. Both cakes were delicious and beautiful. She's very talented, and is a pleasure to work with.
GUEST




Kelley is a wonderful lady who really has a great talent for designing and baking wedding cakes. She did exactly what I asked and my cake (and grooms cake) turned out perfectly. Her cakes are by far the best tasting and most reasonably priced in the Denver area, and she even drove them 90 minutes away to set them up for the wedding.
She also did a beautiful anniversary cake for us on our 1st anniversary and it was fantastic. I would highly recommend her!
GUEST




Kelley was amazing to work with. She came to our house to do tastings, set up the cake at the location and the cake looked beautiful and tasted GREAT! She also did cream cheese mints for us, which were very tasty and affordable.
GUEST




Kelley did such an amazing job with our wedding cake that it became the centerpiece of our wedding - that one thing that everyone commented on and remembers even two years later. She went out of her way to get exactly the look we wanted and delivered a beautiful cake for our outdoor wedding, even on a very hot day! I would recommend her to anyone getting married in the Denver area. She also brought wonderful samples to my home for us to choose the flavors and layers we wanted. She is truly an artist!
Kelley's cakes are simply amazing and they taste amazing too. She is so great with her clients and creates the perfect cake for you and your event. Each one is custom designed to make sure it is exactly what you want!
Tasty and gorgeous cakes!
Kelley is one of the sweetest, most creative people I know. Her cakes are beyond fabulous, and equally as delicious to eat as they are amazing to look at!
WE LOVE KELLEY KAKES! To us it's a no-brainer... Delicious cake that's never dry or frozen, always beautifully decorated and always delivered on time. We always look forward to digging into a slice of cake that we sneak at events. Standing anywhere NEAR her cake will intoxicate your nostrils with the most delicious sell that has ever made you salivate. On top of the best cake around, Kelley is a dear partner of ours at the Villa. Always ready and willing, an breeze to work with, and personal with everything she does. You'd be hard-pressed to find anyone better!
You know how when you see something sweet on one of those Food Network tv shows and think, "Oh...how I would LOVE to bite into that!!!" Well, you can! Just get Kelley to do your cake/cupcakes for your event!! It truly is an experience you will never forget! Not only do I crave, yes, crave her amazing cakes, I have actually resorted to what could be called bribery just to get one of her amazing creations! And her personality! HAH!! It can't be beat! Not only does she really get that your wedding is about you and your sweety, she can take your ideas and create a masterpiece that tastes every bit as wonderful as it looks! I can't say enough about Kelley and her talents. She truly is every bit as amazing as her creations!
Best cakes ever! Kelley did the cakes for our wedding... our guests absolutely loved them!
Kelley does phenomenal cakes. Her perfessionalism, quality and attention to detail is top-notch. She always has brilliant ideas and is willing to try anything! I refer Kelley to all my brides!
Kelley is to the cake industry what Da Vinci was to the art and science community of his day - a true artistic genius! Sure, she can make beautiful, scrumptious, three-tiered cakes that make your mouth water just looking at them, but that just scratches the surface of what she can do for you. Her creativity is unsurpassed by other cakeries. Utilize her outstanding skills to help you create the most amazingly wonderful cake you've ever seen...and eaten!
Kelley does a fantastic job designing beautiful and delicious cakes. I have had the pleasure of working with her at several events now, and I can testify that the guests always love her work!
We've been priviledged to work with Kelley at many weddings over the last couple years. As wedding photographers, we have seen a lot of wedding cakes, and tasted them too. While many are beautiful, Kelley Kakes are both beautiful, and delicious. It also helps that Kelley is one of the nicest people around.
Not only do we recommend Kelley Kakes to every couple we work with, but they did our wedding cake for Michael and I at our wedding in 2006 and it was more than I imagined it would be! The cake looked and tasted amazing and the service was exceptional. I've seen the same level of service as well on all the weddings that we've covered!

Don't feel limited to "simple white cake with minimal detail" due to budget restrictions. A good cake artist wants your cake to stand out and should work with you to create something unique just for you.
Personalized groom's cakes are fun and always a hit! Add them into the total servings so you don't end up with a lot of leftover cake.... or save the cake to serve to those family and friends who are visiting for your wedding. Serve during a special brunch in their honor.
Go online and ask the local brides who they've used. Word of mouth is the best form of advertisement.
Make sure you taste samples beforehand if possible. If you're going to pay for it, you should want to eat it!
