Signature Cakes by Vicki

All around, THE BEST SERVICE EVER! Vicki was very friendly, knowledgeable, and eager to help me pick out my wedding cake. When I arrived at her home, she works out of her house; she had several little cakes for me to try. She explained each one to me, and allowed me to gobble them all up! After I described to her what I wanted, she then took that image in her head and sketched it right there in front of me. I didn’t even have any suggestions, she did a wonderful job! She even gave me a great deal when I told her that I wanted to surprise my groom with a groom’s cake.

Our cake was absolutely beautiful!!!! I was more wonderful than I ever imagined it would be. Vicki is a wonderful artist!!! It was worth every penny and I am so glad I went her. The cake was very moist and the flavor was wonderful. Just go for a tasting and let the cake decide for you!!

Vicki is incredible! All of my guests raved over the taste and detail of both of my cakes. She went above and beyond all expectations! She not only is a cake magician she is a true professional and a pleasure to work with!

Signature Cakes by Vicki, Wow, where do I begin? In planning my husband’s 60th birthday celebration, I wanted the best of everything, at least that I could afford. I first contacted Vicki by phone and described to her what I envisioned for cakes for the celebration as I wanted cakes that represented two facets of my husband’s life, (i.e., a life-like golf course with a replica of the clubhouse at one of the local courses where he plays regularly and the Bible to represent his ministry). Vicki immediately offered great suggestions and told me of how she would accomplish what I was describing. She offered a free consultation and tasting, which I was ecstatic over because, while others offered free consultations, they did not offer tastings. Some even said that they only did tastings for wedding cakes. That made it apparent to me that every cake, regardless of the occasion, was as important to Vicki as it was to the individual. That simple business practice also implied to me that she would not only create a masterpiece, but that she also wanted to ensure that I would be satisfied with the cakes in their entirety and not just the appearance. Here’s where the real fun began. A girlfriend accompanied me to the consultation and tasting. Once there, Vicki presented us with a wonderful assortment of approximately 13 to 16 different flavors of cake. All of which, I kid you not, were knock-your-socks-off wonderful! Each sample was incredibly moist and light, uniquely flavorful, and just melted in our mouths, which made it extremely difficult to decide on a flavor. Therefore, I picked three. The golf course cake consisted of almond, orange dreamsicle, and strawberry flavors and the Bible cake was an almond flavor. After deciding on flavors, we discussed designs to ensure we were on the same page. Vicki began drawing the cakes on an easel and drew to scale what I had envisioned. I was totally blown away by her drawing. During the consultation, we laughed and had great fun with Vicki. Vicki was patient through my indecisiveness in choosing flavors. She never rushed or pressured me in any way. After the consultation, I was confident that the final results would be phenomenal and I knew first hand of the wonderful taste and texture that my guest would have the privilege of experiencing. On the day of the celebration, Vicki and her wonderful husband delivered the masterpieces. They were magnificent. The cakes were more fascinating than I had ever imaged. I didn’t want to cut them. Everyone was in awe! No one could believe they were real cakes. The staff at the venue where the celebration was held were also amazed and even took pictures. My guests took pictures. One out-of-town guest who was present when Vicki delivered the cakes asked if she’d come to his home state. That’s how incredible the cakes were. Then, it’s cake time. The cakes tasted even more delectable than I remembered during the tasting. It’s only been two weeks since the celebration and my guests are still raving over Vicki’s cakes. I can’t impress upon anyone enough, how wonderful Signature Cakes by Vicki is. You just have to experience it for yourself and once you do, you too will have to confess that Signature Cakes by Vicki is the BEST!!!! Best in Taste, Texture, Artistry Design and Cost. I’m truly grateful to Vicki for a job well done, as she helped to make the celebration even more memorable.Many Thanks Vicki!!!Carole Tyus January 25, 2012

Vicki was great to work with and super open to my ideas. She is a true artist and the cake was AMAZING!!

What a great experience it was to work with Signature Cakes by Vicki! Her ability to bring an idea to life is a true gift. Our cake was absolutely beautiful and tasted as great as it looked. She did not sacrifice taste for appearance at all. We attended several cake tastings prior to meeting Vicki and were blown away by the difference in how her cake tasted. It was by far the best cake I've ever had. You could taste how fresh everything was and it was noticable that nothing was preprepared. As for aesthetics, we came in without a lot of focus and she narrowed in immediately on what we wanted; she really lends her imagination to each individual client.Wedding planning can be very stressful, but her enthusiasm and creative flair made this process so much more enjoyable. She really has a passion for what she does and it shows in her work. On a more professional note, Vicki was a pleasure to work with. She was flexible given our busy schedules, approachable and very responsive to our every inquiry. Her prices are very reasonable and you get a lot of bang for your buck. We are so impressed and would HIGHLY recommend Signature Cakes by Vicki to anyone having an event. You will be flooded with rave reviews long after it is over. I wish I could host more events just to use her services! We are thrilled with our choice to include Signature Cakes in our wedding and you will be too!

We have never seen a cake as quickly devoured as our wedding cake! It tasted amazing, looked beautiful, and was worth every penny we paid. The cake was affordable, tasty, and so pretty that I had guests talking about it throughout the day, evening, and on. It's still a hot topic, months later!

We were very pleased with the work from Signature Cakes by Vicki. Our wedding cake and grooms cake were not only beautiful but delicious! I think my husband's favorite part was the taste testing :)

There are 3 reasons, all very important that made Signature Cakes by Vicki so wonderful. Vicki took lots of time to sketch the design. Late in the process she allowed the bride to change some things and make it her own. The most important element was all three kinds of cake in the tiers were moist, dense and delicious. No matter how beautiful the cake should taste delicious and it did. Vicki understood how emotional the whole process is for a wedding cake. Highly recommend Vicki. Wish I had a piece of the Almond cake right now. Carol Loftis

We weren't even planning on getting a cake - we wanted something a little less traditional. And then we tasted Vicki's cake at a bridal show, and we were won over. After that we made a formal appointment with Vicki for a "real" tasting, and made a few other appointments with other cake vendors - and Vicki blew them out of the water. She had the most flavor options, all of which were wonderfully moist and left you wanting more. The cake was delicious, beautiful, and we got tons of compliments on it. Originally, we had decided to not save the top layer, so we'd have more for the guests. But, it accidentally got saved anyway. It was a wonderful surprise when we got back from the honeymoon to find it in the freezer. And we decided to still not save it - so, we ate it for the next week!

Absolutely beautiful and equally delicious! She did exactly what we discussed! I made a change to the sugar flowers a week before the wedding and told her to not worry about it. She ended up making the change anyway when she didn't have to. Recommend to people who want the look and taste for the right price!

Where do i start? Vicki creates MASTERPIECES beyond anything you can imagine! Not only were our cakes beautiful, but they were so delicious and moist! Our guests ate all of the groom's cake within minutes and they attempted to eat all of mine but it was too huge! Vicki listens to every word to make your vision come to life! We couldn't have been more pleased! Way to go!

We found Vicky at a bridal show where one of her sample cakes just swept me off my feet! We got married at Belmont Mansion and our theme was Old South and Victorian. She worked with us on every aspect of this cake, mixed the perfect color, helped us decide on flavors and just made it perfect! My mom fell and broke her leg the day we were supposed to have the tasting so she couldn't come with us. When we got there, Vicky had samples of everything she makes (they are all incredible) and she even packed a sample of everything for my mom so she could try it even though she couldn't be there. Vicky was great to work with, shared our vision and really made the cake a focal point at the reception. I am still getting complements on the taste and the beauty. You have found your perfect cake decorator! Look no further!

I cannot adequately express how wonderful it was working with Vicki!! She was extremely professional, friendly and fast. Everything from our consultation to our wedding day was so easy and all of our questions were answered right away. The best part was seeing our cake on the day of our wedding. It was absolutely perfect and exactly what we wanted! Not only was our cake beautiful, but it also tasted delicious!! Vicki was absolutely wonderful and we hope to use her again in the future! I HIGHLY recommend her!!

Vicki gave me more than I ever could have imagined with my wedding cake. It was absolutely gorgeous and tasted fantastic. She had no problem working within my budget and I wound up getting a great value for the price. I enjoyed the whole process with Vicki, from our first appointment through the wedding. She has a great variety of flavors and her fondant is great. She also sketches out the design of the cake during the 1st appointment, which was a really fun experience. I had so many compliments from my guests and I would recommend Vicki to anyone!

Having our cake done with Vicki was one thing we did over budget on our wedding, but it was TOTALLY worth it. Before the wedding, when people asked how much we spent on the cake and I told them, they were shocked. But at the wedding, those people said they understood why it was expensive! I had a picture from a magazine of a very detailed cake I wanted. At our meeting, she did a sketch of it and took a copy of my photo. I was still nervous that it wouldn't actually look like the picture. On the day of my wedding I couldn't believe how amazing it was. I had so many compliments that it was the most beautiful wedding cake anyone had seen. It looked EXACTLY like the photo!!! I wish I could post pictures on here of the magazine photo and the cake so you could appreciate how good she is. And the TASTE! At our meeting, neither of us had never tasted such amazing cake flavors. My fiance doesn't even like sweets and he loved the samples. We decided on each layer having a layer of strawberry and a layer of banana making it a strawberry banana cake! And to top it off, her buttercream frosting is amazing, and the fondant didn't taste near as bad as others I've had. It was delivered on time and she sent me photos of it after the wedding which I appreciated, even though we did have a photographer. We can't wait till our first anniversary to eat more of our cake! If you want to have the best cake ever, go to Vicki!!!

her cakes are beautiful and taste amazing!

I started planning my May 2011 Nashville wedding about 2 years in advance since I was attending law school in Los Angeles at the time I got engaged. Vicki was great about setting up a meeting time with me when I flew into Nashville for a week of meeting with wedding vendors. One of my favorite things about Vicki was how she asked questions about the wedding and how we wanted the cake to look - and then she drew us a picture right there!! The drawing was beautiful - and the cake looked even better in person!Words cannot even describe how wonderful Vicki's cakes are!! Every flavor we tasted at our first meeting was AMAZING!! It was so hard to decide which flavors to select! At the reception we made sure to try as many of the flavors as possible!I highly recommend Signature Cakes! If you want a cake that looks beautiful and tastes amazing - go with Signature Cakes!

Vicki had made my older sister's wedding cake two years ago and everyone loved the look and especially the taste so it was a no brainer for me to go to her for my own wedding cake. I brought my Indian outfit with me for our consultation and Vicki suggested making the design match the outfit. She drew out a picture and it looked amazing, but nothing could have prepared me for the actual cake! Not only did it match my outfit perfectly, but tasted divinely!!! Our decorator even said that it was the most beautiful cake he had ever seen!! I would recommend Vicki to all brides! She will work with your idea (and if you don't have any then she will make great suggestions) and budget! Thanks so much for making our wedding that much better with your beautiful and delicious cake!Neha

Choosing Signature Cakes was one of the best decisions we made during the entire wedding planning process. We were able to design our own cake to make it unique to us. Not only was the cake beautiful, but it is the best wedding cake I've ever eaten!

The cake was beautiful and just as I imagined it. Also very tasty!

Vicki is extremely professional, very kind and easy to work with. Her cakes are amazing, and worth every penny. You could pay twice what she charges and end up with a cake much less beautiful that doesn't taste half as good if you go with someone else. I HIGHLY recommend Signature Cakes. It will make at least one decision throughout the planning process easy and painless!

Signature cakes stood out to me from the moment I saw the intricate cake designs in a local Bridal Expo until the moment I first laid eyes on my wedding and groom's cake at my wedding reception. The owner has a great attitude-- very respectful and accommodating. Once I expressed interest in a wedding cake, I received excellent customer service from beginning to end. Everyone keeps asking me who made my wedding cakes and I am PROUD to say that Signature Cakes did exceptional, delicious work!

Our two custom cakes were ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!! We really enjoyed meeting with Vicki for our cake tasting and discussing our unique cake design ideas. Not only did we want beautiful cakes with multiple figures (that were made well) but we also wanted them to taste just as nice- and these cakes definitely stood up to that expectation and beyond. Our guests still talk about how gorgeous, whimsical, and well done our cakes were and how much they enjoyed them at the wedding. If you are planning an upcoming event, you should definitely schedule a meeting with Signature Cakes by Vicki to discuss your ideas because of her quality of work, love for her job and her commitment to professionalism.

vicki's cakes were AMAZING! better than i dared ever dream my wedding cake would be! everyone loved the flavors we picked! we ran out of lemon chiffon very early on. the raspberry white chocolate was a personal favorite and i don't even like chocolate so that says something right there. and the orange creamsicle was by far the guests favorite! Guests were taking both the raspberry & orange home to their families and for snacks! I would go with vicki for another cake in a heartbeat!!!!!!

Where do we start... Our harvest wedding cake was just beautiful! There are several pictures of it on Vickis website. From the first meeting we were very impressed with her process. Sitting down, sketching... discussing... more sketching, then the tasting. We had several tastings around Nashville, but Vicki must have some secret that the others don't know about. This was the BEST wedding cake! Flavorful, moist and then there was the frosting! Creamy, light and sooo good! Over the course of the reception, we had so many people telling us it was the best wedding cake they had ever had. Honestly, we have to agree! Thank you Vicki. Ronda and Steven

Our cake was so delicious that we couldn't find another slice the next day. Everything was perfect! Thanks Vicki!!!

we loved vicki as the cake designer, and we loved eating her cakes even more. she actually made 3 different cakes for me. she made the bridesmaid lunch cake, the wedding cake, and then i had her make my 25th anniversary cake. they were all just as tasty as the one before! now i need to think of an event so i can order another one. call signature cakes, you wont be sorry.

Vicki was wonderful to work with. The cakes were so yummy and all the guest enjoyed them too! Wonderful job on designing the groom's cake. I would recommend her to any bride looking for a wedding cake.

Our wedding on Saturday was wonderful, and one of the many highpoints was the fantastic cake. I can't tell you how many people commented on how great the wedding cake was. One example (from one of my bridesmaids) - " I don't normally like wedding cake but yours was scrumptious!". I thought we were going to have enough left to have at my house for a family gathering the next evening, but every single scrap of the cake was consumed on Saturday night. Thank you so much for a really outstanding and memorable cake.>> Since it was so fantastic, we were wondering if you'd be willing/able to do a second one for us?

I really can't say enough about what a pleasure it was to work with Vicki and Signature Cakes. When I first approached her, I had only abstract ideas, but not a model for a cake, which would make designing one easier. All I knew is that I wanted something I'd never seen before. Vicki immediately pulled out her easel and began drawing as I brainstormed aloud. We worked together for the next several months--though only over email because I live out of town--and yet, through pictures and explanations and even a last minute adjustment, everything came together in a way that far exceeded my wildest dreams for the cake. A wedding is no doubt a frustrating and complicated event to plan, and even the most cooperative and helpful folks sometimes miss the mark. I can say without any hesitation that Vicki was the one person from my wedding who truly knocked it out of the park, and frankly, made the process fun for me. I'd like to say the best part was that the visual appeal of the cake exceeded all expectations and was a real show stopper, but to be honest, it was also the most delicious cake I've ever tasted. I was dubious of the outcome because so much goes into make a 5-tier cake with four different cake flavors, cake fillings and then of course, the actual designing of the exterior. But honestly, the cake was unbelievably delicious all around. Like shockingly delicious. I recommend Vicki with the greatest enthusiasm!

Our cake was BEAUTIFUL! And really yummy! All of our guests raved about it. Vicki was wonderful to work with. She listened to what I wanted and gave me a lot of great ideas. We were 100% satisfied with our cake and highly recommend her to any other Nashville-area brides!

Vicki is truly an artist. The cake was not only delicious but it was so much more beautiful than I could have imagined. Each flower was handcrafted and unique.

My daughter and her husband and I chose Vicki to create their wedding cake one year ago 7-24-10. I froze the top layer per her instructions and defrosted it yesterday. I am happy to report that the cake was not only still beautiful but moist and still incredibly delicious. I had been told by others that it would probably be dry and freezer burned but it was as good as it had been on the wedding day. It was a wonderful way for us to celebrate their anniversary!

I would highly recommend Signature Cakes by Vicki to any bride looking for their perfect cake. Vicki met with me and my husband and created the perfect cake from exactly what we described to her. Not only was our cake beautiful and complimented on by so many guests, it was also delicious! I even made the reception site package up some for me and my new husband to take to the hotel with us after the wedding so I could enjoy it a little bit longer. I will use Signature Cakes by Vicki for all of my upcoming cake needs.

Vicki of Signature Cakes by Vicki was wonderful! She helped me come out with a tastful looking cake with the colors that I had (Amethyst purple, Aqua, and silver.) The cake itself was very very yummy. I am definately keeping her in mind for future orders!

Vickie did an EXCELLENT job on our wedding cake! We were sold on her from the first consultation...she’s very professional and knowledgeable about the cake industry, and not just design, but everything from explaining her baking process, ingredients and flavors. As our wedding day approached, she called to verify delivery, timing, contact and wanted to ensure that I shouldn’t worry about the cake, because it was all under control and would be beautiful! At our consultation, I gave her my vision on the design and style of the cake…and to my amazement…she created it!!!! Our cake was absolutely BREATHTAKING! It was picture perfect, so much so several of our guests thought it was a fake cake. People are still raving about the beauty of it, but also the various flavors. Our cake was one of the seamless parts of our entire wedding process...Thanks Vickie!

From the moment I made the first contact with Vicki, she was always very helpful, courteous, patient, and made suggestions when I asked her opinion. We had eight months to plan for my daughter's Nashville wedding, which was a destination wedding for us. Therefore, I corresponded with her by email and phone more than in person. The first meeting we had with Vicki was one of the most enjoyable appointments we had as we planned the June wedding. She had several flavors of cake for me, my daughter, and her fiance to taste test. As we ate, she sketched the outline of the cake as she obtained information about my daughter's dress, along with her preferences for the color choices, flavors, and style of cake she wanted. They chose layers of strawberry, lemon, and white chocolate, draping embellished with brooches, and topped with sugar flowers. When we left her home, we were confident that the cake would be just what Marcy had imagined it would be. And, Vicki came through just as we expected. Even when I called a month before the wedding to tell her we needed more cake to serve, she was very helpful and assured me that it was not a problem. I feel the price was reasonable for the amount of guests we served and for the masterpiece that she delivered. We had many compliments not only on the taste, but the design of the cake. My daughter and I highly recommend Vicki's Signature Cakes for a breath-taking work of art for a wedding cake! You can view the cake on her website as Marcy's at Richland Country Club. Judy Miller, Hamilton, Alabama

Vicki was wonderful! Our cakes were perfect and exactly what we wanted! The taste was amazing! All of our guest loved it and most came back for seconds! We highly recommend Vicki, you will not be disappointed!

Vicki did an amazing job on our wedding cake. During the taste test all of the flavors were amazing so we decided to get three different flavors and she had no problem making that happen for us. She is very professional and I would recommend her to anybody. The most important thing was that she was able to give us exactly what we wanted within our budget. All of the guests commented on how beautiful the cake was as well as how great it taste. She far exceeded our expectations. Thanks Vicki for helping make our wedding day memorable with the beautiful cake you created.

Vicki did a fantastic job with our wedding cake! She was very easy to work with and quickly responded to phone calls and email; she made that part of the wedding planning process a breeze. The "tasting" session is a lot of fun; we had a hard time choosing which cake flavors to use because all of the samples were so delicious!I was thrilled to see the cake at the reception - it looked beautiful with the exquisite details and also tasted wonderful! We got many compliments on the cake from our wedding guests and had people asking for pieces of cake in the days after the wedding. Her sugar flowers are breathtaking and make her cakes a cut above any other wedding cake we have seen.My husband and I would recommend her to any bride!Elizabeth and Christian Paine

My cakes oh yes, cakes as in plural for my wedding day were awesome and my guests still can't stop talking about them. My husband's cake was phenomenal with the detail and my cake was everything that I had described to Vicki. Vicki is not only kind and professional, she is an artist and her cakes taste amazing. One of the best investments I made in the wedding were the cakes because they made my reception stand out. Vicki is awesome!! Best cake vendor!!

I met Vicki at a bridal expo in Franklin, TN and she had the most delicious cake there! I absolutely fell in love with the flavors and icing! We set up an appointment with her and were pleasantly surprised that she could work within our budget. She was so sweet; we absolutely loved her. And she sketches your wedding cake as you tell her what you want so you are sure she knows what you are looking for. Our cake was beautiful; we had three flavors and lots of guests ate a slice of each!

Vicki truly created a signature cake for us! The combination of visual art and delicious taste provided can not be beat!

My cake was EXACTLY what I wanted! I loved that Vicki drew a picture of what the cake would look like. The price was wonderful! The customer service was fabulous! Would recommend to anyone!

Viki was awesome!!! We planned our wedding in a week and a half! I called her and she made the most beautiful cake from just our conversation. There was no time for a tasting. The cake was as delicious as it was beautiful. I would highly recommend Signature Cakes.

Vicki is wonderful to work with and completely designed the cakes that we wanted for our wedding. Our initial meeting to design our cakes was a great experience and memory for our wedding planning. You won't be disappointed!!

Vicki Nelson of Signature Cakes is first and foremost an incredible artist with a fine attention to detail and perfection. She was able to take the abstract idea in my mind for my wedding cake and define it on paper. The end result was a beautiful masterpiece of confection. Besides being aesthetically gorgeous, creative and unique, the different flavors of each layer were absolutely delicious. I have seen some pretty cakes that tasted like cardboard, but this cake was the best of both worlds. Your wedding cake is truly the centerpiece of your reception so it needs to be special. Everyone was quite impressed and I received so many compliments on the cake. Thank you, Signature Cakes, for contributing to my magical, perfect day and making my dreams come true!

Vicki is hands down one of the best vendors in Nashville. Her cakes are beautiful and (more importantly to me) taste amazing. She was willing to work with my budget. Finally, my last tip is come to the cake tasting hungry...all of her flavors are amazing!

I can't imagine a better baker than Vicki. She loves what she does and it comes through in every aspect of her work. I am a huge foodie and I have to say that her cake is the best tasting AND most beautiful I have ever seen (so good we ate our "top tier" on our 2 month anniversary instead of waiting a year...it was too good to wait!). I personally wanted butercream (better tasting) and she made it look spectacular (even though it is harder to detail with than fondant). I would recomend her to any one at any time.

Every bride knows the wedding cake is supposed to be a show stopper. Signature cakes definitely accomplished that. My wedding cake was GORGEOUS! Her attention to detailed amazed me and and my guests. The inside of the cake tasted just as good as it looked from the outside. About fifteen minutes after I cut the cake, it was gone which is a sign that the guests loved it! ( I had 150). Thanks for making my wedding cake dream come true! It was a wonderful experience working with Signature Cakes and I hope I have the opportunity to work with them again!

Signature Cakes by Vicki sketched and planned exactly the cakes we wanted to share with our family and friends to celebrate our marriage. The size, flavors, and detail were uniquely ours. Vicki was willing to try anything, researched to find the designs we were looking for, and succeeded to do anything and everything we asked of her. Vicki is a true professional: prompt, reliable, attentive, communicative, patient, and extremely talented. We highly recommend her and her staff for any special event. Carolyn and "Ranger Doug" Green

My cake was beautiful and tasted delicious. My sister-in-law actually told me that it was the best wedding cake she's had!!

Vicki was awesome!!! We really enjoyed our cake and it was everything that I hoped it would be! She sketched it out for me and created it exactly how I envisioned it to be. We had three flavors and they each were spectacular! She also works around your budget!!!

Where do I start?! Vicki was one of the easiest vendors that I dealt with! She was so easy going & flexible and her prices are very reasonable! Her degree of talent is phenomenal and her cakes are AMAZING! My cake was white chocolate truffle & strawberry and my groom's cake was chocolate truffle. Needless to say there was not any cake left after the reception!!! I highly recommend Vicki not only for her fantastic cakes & ability but for her compassion & true desire to make your wedding cake THE BEST!

Vicki did an awesome job on my wedding cakes! She was very professional and her passion is reflected in her beautiful cakes! To top it all off the cakes are delicious! We didn't have any left from the wedding!

Vicki far exceeded our expectations on the flowers and Decor. Not only were the decorations outstanding, but the Cake was out of this world Gorgeous and exceptionally tasty. I can honestly say I have never had a more delicious cake than hers. The effort she put into it all was phenomenal. I would highly recommend her expertise, planning and courtesy . She is a delight to do business with.

The cake was so amazing, we ran out, and that wasn't due to a miscalculation of guests. Everyone thought the cake looked spectacular and tasted even better. Vicki worked with us to design a unique cake that showed our personality perfectly. She is wonderful I hope I have an excuse to hire again one day soon.

She was very helpful when we wanted to do a tasting of her cakes. She provided 10 different types of cake to try. She created a beautiful cake out of my thoughts of what the cake should look like. The only issue was that we didnt like the Fondant on the cake but that was our error not hers.

Vicki did our wedding cakes this past September. Not only were they exactly what we asked for, they were delicious. My husband asked for a Nike tennis shoe, all Vicki needed was a few photographs and it turned out to be one of the most talked about items at our wedding reception. I will be using Signature Cakes for all future showers and birthday parties. They provide quality service at a good price. Shari H.

Vicki was an absolute pleasure to work with, and her gorgeous cakes speak for themselves. Vicki custom designed our three layer cake, and it was beautiful. I had guest after guest gushing about how great our cake tasted. You will definitely not be disappointed. In addition, Vicki was so easy to contact and one of my only vendors who contacted me before the wedding and handled all the arrangements with our reception site manager for delivery. I didn't have to worry about a thing--and that means alot when you are planning a wedding. The flowers on my wedding cake were so "real" looking...it was just amazing. She matched my wedding flowers and colors to perfection!! Highly recommend!!!!

Let the tasting do the talking. Hands down Vicki makes the best cakes with the most variety of flavors. I loved working with her. She makes you fell like one of the family as soon as you step into the front door of her home where the tasting are held. She takes the time to listen to your every cake wish. Don't have any idea what you want? Don't worry she will help design something specially for you. I am acutally not even a big cake type of person. I wasn't even looking forward to the cake tasting part of the planning. Vicki flavors are sooooo delicious she just might have made me a convert. Her cakes are also very beautiful. The hand made flowers she makes are impressive! My husband and I only got to taste a little of our actual cake at the reception, but my parents saved the top for us. We decided to eat it Sunday morning instead of saving it for a year. It was soooo goood! I highly reccommend Vicki!

Vicki created a wedding cake and a groom's cake for our August 15th wedding and both were absolutely gorgeous. I am still receiving compliments on how beautiful the cakes looked and guests were equally amazed by how moist and delicious the cakes were! Several of our wedding guests told me that it was "the best cake [they] have ever eaten." The groom's cake was an absolute masterpiece! My husband wanted a three-layer Michael Jordan-themed cake. We came to Vicki with a picture of what we had in mind. She incorporated all of the design elements we wanted and surprised us with something even better than what we had imagined! Also, after our initial meeting with Vicki I decided to make a couple of changes to both of the cakes. Vicki quickly responded to my requests. I highly recommend Signature Cakes...Vicki is professional, friendly, creative, and extremely talented. You will not be disappointed.

If you want a cake that is both beautiful and delicious, then you need Vicki is who you need to call. She made a cake for my July wedding that was so beautiful my guests asked if it was real! I had so many compliments on the taste too. She also has the best flavors to choose from but they are all so good it hard to choose. I would recommend Vicki to anyone looking to get a wedding cake made.

Vicki worked with me to give me what I had always dreamed of a tie dyed cake on the inside and beauty on the outside!!! She was very helpful and answered any questions that I had along the way. Also it tasted soooo good I can't wait until my one year anniversary to eat some more!!

Words cannott explain how good Vicki is at wedding cakes ! She took our dream cake and made it ten times better. Ever since we met Vicki we knew we made the right choice. She had little cupcake versions of all of her cake flavors for us to try! They were so good, I was hogging them, she had to say "now Bianca, let Paul have a bite". It honestly is the best cake I've ever tasted, Italian Buttercream is delicious! Vicki is such a wonderful warm hearted person. She really cares about her customers. She didn't act like we were her customer, she acted like we were her friends. Our wedding cake was phenominal, but the talk of the night was the suprise grooms cake I had Vicki do for Pauls wedding present from me. It was an i-phone cake with all of his favorite apps. Everyone was just totally amazed by how realistic it looked , and I don't think I've ever seen Paul look so suprised! It was wonderful! Vicki, thank you so much for being the amazing, talented, wonderful person that you are! Anyone getting married needs to have a Signature Cake by Vicki. Yes, they are pricier than the typical bakery cake, but the price reflects the quality, and it is worth every penny and much much more!

Vicki is amazing. I was very impressed with her perfect mix of professionalism and down -home feel. She interviews in her house. The environment was not only professional, but made you feel at home and very important. She took several photos, a sketch (I am not an artist I might add), and my verbal description of details and put them up on sketching board. The result was incredible. ( I actually cried, which I do not do, which made my then fiance and mother cry.) We also had a groom's cake which we gave her a general idea of and she ran with it. They were both perfect! She was completely worth the price. I will absolutely use her again!

Signature Cakes did a wonderful job with my cake! The finished product looked exactly the way I imagined it would, and tasted even better! The cake was just as good on our one year anniversary!

We used Signature Cakes for our June 13th wedding and not only was it beautiful but the best tasting cake I had ever had at any wedding. My Husband could not stop talking about our cake from the first day we met Vicki and is still complaining that he didn't get enough to eat. We will be getting a new, fresh cake from Vicki on our one year anniversary and can't wait to eat her delicious concoction again! I'm still getting calls and compliments from guests about our cake! Go meet Vicki, taste her cakes, and let her sketch you out your own and I guarantee, you'll be using her for your wedding too!!!

Vicki was the best. We met her at the bridal show here in Nashville. We saw that she did unique wedding cakes and we asked her if she would do a Pac Man cake for us. We came up with the design and sat down with her about 2 months before the reception. She drew the design that we wanted as we sat there eating all of the flavors that she had made in cupcakes. They all tasted very good but the 2 flavors that we went with strawberry (my husband's favorite) and Carmel Butterscotch (my favorite). We told her where it was going to be held and she delivered it before I even got to the location. When I got there it was already set up and placed on the table. It took my breath away!!! It was just like I wanted it, but it wasn't until we cut the cake that I knew that we had gotten the right person to do the cake!! Everyone there asked me who had done my cake and told me that it was the best wedding cake they had ever tasted!! Thanks Vicki for making the reception a BIG hit!!

I chose to use Signature Cakes By Vicki nearly a year ago as my wedding cake vendor. Vicki and her assistant were absolutely wonderful! Both are extremely talented in baking and decorating. My cake was delicious, and breathtakingly beautiful. There was not a single crumb left after our reception because our guests loved it so much! Vicki is an excellent vendor because of how personal she is with your wedding cake design. She is a very good listener, and wants very much to make your cake as special and beautiful as it can be. She even delivered my cake to the venue at no cost! If you need any information, she is readily available, eager to help, and has an excellent website full of pictures so you can see her beautiful work. I highly recommend her to any bride on any budget. You will not be disappointed come wedding day if you go with Vicki!

I loved my cake. It was both beautiful and tasty. Vicki really listened to what I wanted. She has a wide variety of unique flavors to choose from. Her cakes taste wonderful. Her fondant really is good. She makes the most beautiful flowers. Since my wedding was outdoors and the cake was set up outdoors, Vicki made sure to have the cake delivered at the perfect time so that the cake remained at the right consistency.

I had the pleasure of working with Miss Vicki from Signature Cakes for my mother's 80th birthday luncheon. She made the most amazing specialty birthday cake.... a real work of art! It was not only unique and stunningly beautiful, it tasted fabulous as well. Her cakes have the freshest ingredients and we especially enjoyed having our choice of different flavors for each tier. People attending the luncheon could not stop admiring it and taking pictures of it! Vicki is a delight to work with and she is so talented. She takes a special interest in all of her clients and seems truly interested in making their day as memorable as possible. I would highly recommend Signature Cakes to anyone.

Vicki's cakes are amazing. My Husband (fiance at the time) and I had gone to a bakery and was NOT impressed. The cake was just ok, and they wanted to charge for every service..delivery, set up...etc. We found Vicki and met with her. She had 5 different samples of cake and by the end of our consultation they were ALL gone!! My husband isn't really big on chocolate, but he ate ALL of her chocolate truffle cake. When we showed her our vision of the cake, she jumped up and started drawing exactly what I had imagined. That, the prices, and the samples of the cake...I pulled out my check book to write her a deposit. We didn't need to shop anywhere else. Our cake was 3 tiers with white chocolate truffle, strawberry white chocolate truffle, and top of white chocolate truffle. We also had a grooms cake of the lemon chiffon cake. At the reception EVERYONE was drooling over the cake. They would say.."Oh my god..your cake..its awesome..who did it" I would tell them about her Italian Grand Buttercream Frosting. I would like a bowl of just that! Its truly amazing!! My mother's friend had a piece of cake at the reception, took a piece to the room and ate more later that night, then woke up the next morning and finished it off! I don't know how my husband and I are going to wait a whole year to eat the top layer! It just stares at me everytime I open the freezer! :)I told my husband that when we start having kids that Vicki will do all of our baby shower cakes!! She is truly amazing! Her cakes are out of this world and she is so professional!

Words can not describe how perfect my wedding cake was!! It was an absolute hit, the photographer used a whole roll of film just on the cake. Vicki and her staff were so professional. In fact, I trusted her so much that I told her to do whatever she wanted with the cake, I just told her my colors and flowers and it turned out better than anything I could have ever dreamed!! Thank you so much! It was the hit of my reception for sure! Her cakes are not only gorgeous, they taste great too :)

My cake was everything I thought it would be. Vicki worked very hard to get my color combo just right (which was not easy due to the variation of my main color). The cake also tasted awesome. I had the white chocolate truffle and strawberry. There was no cake left over after my reception!

Vicki was amazing! During our conselltation she drew a sketch of what our cake would look like. It was amazing and on our wedding day the cake was an exact replica. All of our guests raved about the cake. I would recommend the caramel butterscotch with buttercream frosting! Vicki also offers free delivery. You can not beat her price and the quality is exceptional.

I really enjoyed working with Vicki. She did a fabulous job on my black and white wedding cake. Also, she provided the Groom's cake, which was a huge hit at the wedding. It was an elephant, representing the University of Alabama. I would highly recommend her in the future.

A request never went without her addressing it. I knew from the first meeting that our cakes were as important to her as they were to us, which we really appreciated. She sketched our cake at the first visit and over a year later, delivered the perfect wedding cake to our reception! It was so great to not have to worry about anything. I can't even tell you how many of our guests said both the groom's cake and wedding cake were the best they had seen and, even better, they were absolutely DELICIOUS! You will not be disappointed if you choose Signature Cakes!

Wow! I can not possibly say enough wonderful things about Vicki Nelson & Signature Cakes! From the first taste test to the final feeding, Vicki was absolutely above & beyond anything I expected our baker to be. Not only was our cake delicious, it was gorgeous as well. It was obvious Vicki put a lot of TLC into all of the details :) She was also very quick with all of her correspondance when I had any questions. Ladies, please don't waste your time looking elsewhere..book with Vicki today!!!!

My cake was so elegant and beautiful!!! It was perfect!! Vicki is truly an artist!!

If your shopping around for a cake vendor...shop NO further. Vickie is not only professional but a true artist. Everyone went on and on about how beautiful my cake was and the detail in the flowers fooled everyone into thinking they were real. Not only were they impressed with the design of the cake but the taste as well. It is so good that my husband and I decided to go ahead and eat our top cake....we couldn't wait a year! TRUST ME...you can't go wrong! I plan on telling everyone I know about Vickie!

I really enjoyed my wedding cake from Signature Cake. The cake had a very great taste to it. I also was very pleased of the outcome of the cake a lone. Great Job! Love Ya:)

Signature Cakes is the perfect choice for whatever size wedding you are planning. My husband and I planned a small, intimate gathering for our wedding and reception but we wanted a traditional wedding cake for our guests to enjoy. Plus, as I explained to Vicki, "we're not ones to deny ourselves" so one of the things we were most looking forward to about our wedding was the cake! On our budget, though, I had thought we would have to probably settle for a cake from Publix or someplace similar...but then I found Signature Cakes by Vicki. Vicki is amazing -- you truly get a "custom" cake at a very reasonable price, and it is positively delicious. Vicki responded to me immediately by e-mail, and later that week we had our tasting. She's incredibly warm and wonderful, and it was absolutely a delight to talk with her about our wedding and tell her what we had in mind. I had looked at the cakes on her website and picked elements that we wanted to incorporate, and she sketched it as we talked and our cake looked just perfect on our wedding day. The most difficult thing to do was select which type of cake we wanted for our three-tier masterpiece. But whatever kind of cake you select, it will have the most amazing buttercream frosting you have ever tasted! (My guests are still raving about it, and my sister is begging for the recipe!) My husband and I are terribly excited right now because we agreed we would save the top tier for our one-month anniversary which is just days away. So, perhpas as you read this we'll be enjoying our delicious cake top. I'm bouncing up and down in my chair as I type this because I can't wait...it's THAT good. If you want a beautiful cake at a reasonable price made by someone who is wonderful to work with, call or e-mail Vicki at Signature Cakes. You'll be happy you did!

Vicki, owner of Signature Cakes, is simply amazing! She helped my husband and I design our dream cake and it turned out better than we could have imagined! Her cakes do not taste like a typical wedding cake- these are GOURMET!!! Delicious & decadent! People are still talking about this amazing work of art. Vicki is very professional, patient and beautifully creative. And to make things even better, she is AFFORDABLE! Thank you so much, Vicki!!Angel & Peter Noble

I was planning an out of town wedding and wanted to book all my vendors as soon as I could. The first vendor I met was Signature Cakes and I was really impressed by Vicki's professionalism. She had 5 different cup cakes out for us to taste and let us explain our needs on our pace. All the flavors were amazing. We had never tasted such cakes before and were ready to book her right away. We visited Nashville a few months later just to confirm our flavors and booked her on the spot. Our cake was exceptionaly delicious and everyone loved it and was asking where we got the cake from. She is very professional and the cake was in our budget. Thanks Signature Cakes.

Vicki is amazing. She agreed to make our daughter's wedding cake and the groom's cake, for a Christmas wedding. There are not many people who are willing to spend their time baking on Christmas day, but Vicki agreed quickly and cheerfully! She delivered the most beautiful cakes on December 27th and they were exactly what our daughter had imagined. With Vicki's cakes,every layer can be a different flavor-what a treat- and the caramel groom's cake she made was entirely eaten in 20 minutes! I would recommend Signature Cakes to any bride. Vicki made our daughter, Catherine's wedding day, lovely.Martha Oman, Nashville, Tn

Vicki with Signature Cakes was so amazing to work with. I brought in a picture of the wedding cake that I wanted. I wanted to personalized it just a little bit and she was so creative. At the consultation she sketched on a drawing of the cake and made sure to put every detail on the drawing that I wanted. It really let know that we understood each other. There were also cupcake samples for me to try all of her different cake flavors! They were all sooo amazing. They were so good that I couldn't pick just one, I picked three! White Chocolate Truffle, Red Velvet, and Strawberry. All of my guest loved each flavor! My friends still talk about how great it tasted weeks after the wedding. She also gave me great tips about how much cake I really needed, instead of letting me think I needed a higher number. One of the most important parts was that she worked on the weekend after Christmas! Vicki also made our grooms cake which was a John Deere Tractor. It was perfect and on top of how cute it was, the chocolate cake was great!!! She makes the best tasting and most beautiful cakes ever!!

Our cake from Signature Cakes was better than I could have even dreamed it would be--both in taste (even though I had already tasted all the flavors) and in its design. It was the stunning centerpiece at our reception and was so beautiful my husband and I were somewhat hesitant about cutting it. I found Vicki on the internet and she was the first, and ultimately the only, person we met with about our cake because not only were the pictures of her cake quite impressive, but her prices were the most reasonable and her cake flavors sounded delicious. Our whole experience with Vicki, from the tasting to the day of the wedding, was so enjoyable and fun. We chose four different flavors between the two cakes, all of which were delicious, and the cake Vicki created was exactly what we had hoped for and then some. It was easily the most beautiful, artistic cake I have ever seen in person or in a magazine. Her attention to detail, particularly on the flowers, just made the cake absolutely stunning. If you are anywhere near the Nashville area, you will not regret using Signature Cakes.

Signature Cakes is definitely an exceptional vendor. After meeting with several vendors to discuss the perfect wedding cake for our special occasion, the decision to choose Signature Cakes was a no brain-er. Vicki respectfully allowed us to express our desires for the cake and was professional is guiding us with her experience and creative ideas to make sure we got exactly what we envisioned. If you want to talk "bang for the buck" well, sorry Vicki, but I feel certain we got the best end of the deal considering your talents and creativeness with not only the decorations, but the taste as well. We still get compliments on how beautiful our cake was and how good it tasted. If you are looking for a vendor that goes the extra mile to make sure your special occasion is as special as possible, then Signature Cake would be the vendor for you. Thank you, Vicki!

Honestly, I cant see how anyone could rate Vicki less than a "5 star" on any of the categories....this lady is AMAZING....not only were her cakes delicious, but she has such an amazing human touch. She welcomed my bride and I into her home and did a fabulous job of sketching our cake based on the verbal ideas that we gave her....and the cake looked just as designed!!! If you go to her sight, our cake is called "Elisabeth and Lee's Elegance"....it turned out wonderful!!!!! I would HIGHLY recommend Vicki to my FAMILY and FRIENDS....class service!!!

Vicki from Signature Cakes did SUCH an incredible job. I brought in "inspiration" pictures and she worked with my ideas to make it unique, keeping all the aspects that I loved about each one. I am not usually a big cake fan (I originally wanted to do cheesecake at the wedding), but after tasting Vicki's cakes... I couldn't even decide which kind to choose... they were all so delicious! She is such a wonderfully gifted woman and I will be recommending her to ALL of my friends! Excited to call her when it's time for a baby shower cake, too! ;)

We loved our cake! Vicki was so great to work with. She drew out our vision for our wedding cake and made it come to life. We had a fairly simple cake, but she made these amazing sugar flowers that were for real looking and elegant. BUT the best thing about her cakes was that they tasted even better then they looked. We had white chocolate truffle, dark chocolate truffle, and strawberry for our cakes. All of our guests were raving about them!

Wow! What more can I say - I agree with all the wonderful comments about Vicki and her cakes and can honestly say she was the brightest spot in all our wedding planning (lots of little hitches). Her cake was the hit of the wedding - many people said it was the best cake they had ever eaten. We had the carmel flavour - we kept the top part in the freezer but didn't make it to our anniversary to eat it -it was amazing. And it was the most beautiful cake I could have ever imagined - the flowers were so real looking and precise and the colors were perfect! And the price was amazing - it was worth at least times what we payed for it (our budget was tight but our cake did not look it at all). Thank you Vicki! Now we have a baby on the way - maybe we should call you for an excuse to get another taste of your great baking in the form of a baby shower cake!? Crystal and William!!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Vicki. As all of the other reviewers have stated, her cakes taste amazing!!! Vicki's many cake flavors offer something for everyone, and all of her cakes that we tasted were so delicious. We had three different flavors in our five tiers, which everyone loved including pumpkin! You'd think with what she offers Vicki would cost an arm and a leg. But she offers tremendous value and is very easy to work with. Pricewise she is in the mid-range of vendors in the Nashville area, but it is a great bargain for what you get. We found a few wedding cake vendors that were a bit less expensive but their cakes tasted like they were out of a box, and their frosting was nothing special.Our cake had intricate fondant work that she had to hand cut. It no doubt took a great amount of time, and she did it so beautifully. We really were amazed at how wonderful our cake looked. We actually just got married and she hasn't yet put pictures of our cake on her site, but it was an orange and brown damask pattern that fit perfectly with our fall wedding. Hopefully it will be up there soon so this review will show you her great work.

My wedding cake was perfect!! Vicki did such an amazing job with it. She really took the time to help me create my perfect cake. She was great to work with. I couldn't have asked for a better cake on my wedding day!

A wedding day is a day that will never be forgotten. From decorations to flowers it is pieced bit by bit with tender love and care from all who dedicate their time to make it all come together. It can be a magical day and it can be disastrous. My day, was enchanting. Signature Cakes by Ms. Vicki made this enchanting day come true. Your cake was flawless and it tasted incredible! It was a cake meant for a princess. That is the way you made me feel. Your precise work and effort eased my mind and I cannot thank you enough! Your work looked even better than I had ever imagined my cake to be. She truly produces beyond what the mind can even fathom.You were so easy to work with and so very creative. You went above and beyond for me. Taking your time with me and humoring me through the whole process. You were a joy to work with and I would come back and "cake taste" with you any day! YUMMY! hahaha :-) You truly made my night, "Some Enchanted Evening."

Our cake was beautiful!!! Everyone is still talking about how beautiful and delicious it was!!! Vicki was so great to work with and she is very sweet. She even threw in a birthday cake for my little brother!

Exceptional is an understatement when I think of Vicki and her work! She is an immensely talented Christian woman, and her professional attitude and service is A+ top-notch quality. I, myself, am somewhat of a perfectionist, so I knew that my wedding day would be no easy task. I am creative & wanted to have a hands-on part in every aspect of my wedding. I made my invitations, flower arrangements, etc., but I knew that there was one area that I had absolutely no control---the wedding cake!!So, I researched potential clients in the Nashville area, and when I found Vicki, I knew that she was the one. My husband and I went by her house for the initial designing and tasting of the cake, and I was just blown away. The cakes that she had us sample were absolutely delicious! Then, when I told her what I had pictured in my mind, she immediately drew a masterpiece that was even better than what I had envisioned! The finished product was an absolute work of art! So good, in fact, that at our reception there were people staring and sniffing the cake because "they didn't believe that it was real"!Vicki's cakes are not not to be put in a corner somewhere; they are the "talk" of the reception & people will not believe how great they look and taste!!

One word: AMAZING!!! We went to our appointment with Signature Cakes expecting the typical sit down, go through books of different styles of cakes and cake tasting…not here!! We walked into our appointment and it was personalized to us!! They discuss what you want, your themes, colors but then they start drawing out the cake in front of you – it was amazing to have someone working with you, one on one, with what you want AND getting to see a “draft copy” of what your cake is going to look like (no guessing)!! They even added some butterflies on my cake that resembled the butterfly that was in each of the bouquets!! We received so many compliments on not just the look of the cake (it was gorgeous) but also on the taste. It’s so rare to have both, beautiful and mouth-watering, in a wedding cake! Thank you Signature Cakes for making our wedding cake a piece of art that was personalized to our “us”, great tasting and for your professionalism. Very impressive!

I was very pleased with the wedding cake and the groom's cake. Not many people can make a sculpted fire truck cake. The attention to detail was amazing. It was a big hit. No one wanted to cut it. (it was delicious) :)If you're a bride that knows what you like, but can't visualize or express it Viki can capture it for. She took a list of my likes and dislikes and made the perfect cake for me. I saw my cake for the first time the day of the wedding. I was very impressed. I should also mention the cake is very good! Very, Very Good!!

Vicki at Signature Cakes was fabulous to work with. She is artistic, creative, and fun to work with. During our initial consultation, she had cupcake-sized cakes for us to taste. We told her what our ideas and wishes were and she worked with them. During that consultation, Vicki drew several sketches of cakes using our ideas. All three of us worked together, and by the time the consultation was over, we had a final sketch of our cake. Vicki also gave us several choices of icing and cake flavors. She told us what type of icing would work best for a July wedding, and for the type of environment the cake would be in that day. We chose butter cream icing with calla lily's as a cake topper. Vicki made the lily's and ribbons out of pink fondant, and by hand. The flowers and ribbons were so detailed that if I didn't know they were made of fondant, I would have thought they were real.I must say that of all the wedding cakes I've had, our wedding cake was by far the most moist. It was light and tasty, it didn't leave a heavy feeling in your stomach or a greasy taste in your mouth. The flavors were so delicious. I know that Vicki uses real fruit in her cakes. That just adds to the light, refreshing taste. Everyone that tasted our wedding cake said it was delicious. On our wedding day, Vicki delivered the cake at the exact specified time. She made sure the cake was set up properly and looked beautiful for us. She took all of the wedding cake worries away! Our cake from Signature cakes was fabulous. It was beautiful and delicious. If I ever need a cake again, I will definitely order it from Signature Cakes. Vicki was wonderful to work with. She's easy going, creative, and fun. I have already recommended Signature Cakes to several people, and I believe you will be happy with Signature Cakes too!

Just thinking about Vickie's cakes makes me start drooling! I've never tasted any cake so delicious! She did our wedding cake and I was amazed with the artistry & yummy taste. She truly cares about giving you a UNIQUE masterpiece. Our cake was one of my favorite things about our wedding... and she can do everything ( we even surprised my groom with an i-phone cake with all his favorite apps - the talk of the night!) ! :) We love Vickie & would recommend her to anyone !

Loved working with Vicki on Cheyanne and Ben's wedding at Cheekwood! Her cakes are soooo amazing and taste out of this world. if you are looking for a cake for wedding, birthday, baby shower, or just any occasion call Vicki and you will be amazed! Nita Baggott CMPNashville Event Planning

We met Vicki when we were vendors for the same bridal show earlier this year. Her cakes were delicious, and she was so sincere and funny! I would definitely recommend her to our clients who are looking for a cake artist!
