Unbelievable!!! My son is graduating high school and will be studying marine biology, so I wanted a cake to reflect this. The sea life theme was a huge hit! Not only was the cake absolute perfection with extreme details, but delicious as well! I will be using these talented ladies for all of my future cakes again and again. I cannot describe with words how satisfied I am with the cake and professionalism of this company.

Kathy and Company made my wedding cake many years back and we decided to go with them for our sons first birthday! The range of flavors we were able to get were amazing and tasted absolutely delicious! We did Star Wars theme and Allessa did such an incredible job making his smash cake!

Birthday cakes, in my opinion, are a big part of making a birthday special. I have three kids and have had 100's of cakes over the years. Some beautiful, that may not have tasted that well, and some not so pretty that tasted great. Well, I ordered this cake from Kathy and Co featuring Allessa, and I was not disappointed on either front. This was by far the most beautiful cake that I have ever purchased in all the years of buying cakes for my girls. To make it even better, it was absolutely DELICIOUS! I was so pleased. Allessa did a phenomenal job with this cake all around! I highly recommend anyone

Kathy and Company cakes are AMAZING!!!! For the past several years, I have gotten the privilege of having one of her Hummingbird cakes for my birthday. I knew I had to use her for my wedding cake. She was the only one that I even reached out to because she was my only option! Let me just say, she did not disappoint. From the amazing cake tasting, where EVERY SINGLE FLAVOR was on point, to our wedding cake that was JAW DROPPING! Kathy is so talented in not only cake design, but also the taste of the cake! This is not true of many cake bakers!! Our cake design was perfectly executed, as we had envisioned

The most amazing cake I've ever seen and tasted. We were referred to Allessa by a friend and decided to use her for our friends surprise birthday party. We didn't want just an ordinary cake but something that reflected our friends personality. Allessa is so creative and came up with the most perfect design. Allessa is creative, professional, reliable, and just overall a pleasure to work with.

You wont be disappointed with choosing Kathy and Company! My husband and I are living states away but wanted to get married in what we call our "home" state. Communication from a different state with Kathy and her employees was easy and so pleasant! My mother and her friend went to the tasting, called me during the meeting and after to continue to tell me how sweet Kathy was. We had a design that I found on Pinterest that Kathy hadn't done before but she was more than willing to try.... And she did amazing!! So many people loved the looks of our cake! It was a subtle way to make a mountain cake
