Our experience wih Grace was very mixed. We had a medium sized wedding and wanted cupcakes for our guests and a small cake for cutting. I also wanted to surprise my husband with a groom's cake. I am gluten-free, so we needed the small cake and some of the cupcakes to be gluten-free. Not a lot of options in SLT for that! Communication was difficult from the start - it was challenging to set up a cake tasting, and when we did, Grace seemed unprepared and was inattentive. They had a bridal show or something going on later that weekend and she seemed distracted the whole time we were there - and she forgot to have GF cake for me to try. She did find some to thaw eventually. The cake that my husband tried was very good and the GF cake was pretty good, considering it had been frozen, so we decided to book her. From the point on, communication was a nightmare - it took forever to get the final contract, getting the groom's cake figured out was difficult, and it took so long to have questions answered. The day of the wedding, we had arranged to have someone pick up the cakes and I was given a window of 3:30-4:00. When my friend showed up to pick them up, no one was there and the bakery was locked. Grace came in at 4:15 as my friend was getting ready to go to Safeway to get a sheet cake. She was a stressful vendor to deal with, however the cakes were delicous - hence the 5-start "Quality of Service" review. Our cupcakes were a huge hit and were so yummy. The gluten-free ones were amazing and that's hard to do. Our cutting cake was really good as well. The groom's cake turned out perfectly - just how I pictured it, so I was very pleased with that also. The cakes were amazing, but the stress of the poor communication and lack of professionalism at the tasting and day of makes it a very mixed review.

Grace was incredibly down to earth, friendly, and best of all makes delicious cakes and goodies. She was so generous in having us try all sorts of things in her bakery when we were there for the cake tasting. We paid in full that day at the tasting -- she was so appreciative -- cake was delivered to my reception venue and set up beautifully. She even left a box with the reception venue to put the top portion of the cake in. :) A sweet lady -- delicious cake -- we did red velvet with cream cheese icing. :)

best cake i ever had.. and thats big being that i dont like cake!

Grace is unbelievable! The taste of her cakes alone make her absolutely worth hiring! Not to mention that she is completely willing to try any decorations for her cakes. I have no reservations recommending her to everyone of you!

Grace makes the most incredible tasting cakes you will ever eat!! The only challenge with Grace, is her communication. I repeatedly had to remind her which flavor, shape, and size of cake I ordered. Invoices would be incorrect, and I would email or call with the corrections, and she would send them back wrong again. I just wish she would hire a business manager or secretary to handle all of the paperwork/orders. If you can handle the struggle of communication, then hire Grace...it's definitely worth it!!

Grace is a real pleasure and delight to work with. We knew we wanted cupcakes but that is all we knew. She offered so many suggestions and decorations for us - our options were limitless. ANd her tastings were the best - everything was so delicious. I heard my guests were "sneaking" her cupcakes away before dinner was even served - and after trying them, they went up for seconds and thirds.

Grace made a wonderful cake for our August wedding. I gave her a picture of what we wanted the cake to look like and had a special request for the flavor. At our tasting, she gave us many options, including our special request. We ended up with a different flavor which was just as delicious. The cake was vanilla bean with fresh mango or raspberry filling with whipped cream. All of our guests loved it and many got seconds! Our cake was made for 100+ people, even though we only had about 90...and it all got eaten! I had one of our guests tell me it was the best cake they ever had. Not only was our cake delicious, it looked AMAZING! It exceeded our expectations. Definitely check out Tahoe Cakes by Grace.

Grace is awesome! So wonderful to work with. Thoughtful, thorough, eager to please. Our cake was gorgeous and delicious. She created a special caramel filling that was my dream and everyone gobbled it up. Also, Grace's prices were just right.

The chocolate kaluah cake was the best wedding cake (and one of the most delicious cakes overall) that my groom and I have ever had--and we've both tried hundreds of wedding cakes. The cake was beautiful as well. Grace was also extremely flexible with changes we had to the cake and was even willing to provide a sugar-free layer side cake for members of our family who are on sugar-restricted diets (although they ended up wanting the full-sugar cake.) Every one at the reception finished their cake and some even had a second piece. We'd definately recommend Tahoe Cakes by Grace for deliciousness of cake, quality of service, and flexability.

Grace is so talented at creating gorgeous, yet decadent wedding cakes and desserts! We love to recommend her to our clients, as we know she will take care of them and do an outstanding job!

Grace is a gem. Wonderful to work with and her cakes are gorgeous!
