Quite literally one of the best decisions we made for our wedding was hiring Kellie at Palette Cakes. Not only did the desserts LOOK incredible but they were so delicious. Our guests loved our dessert bar! She was so responsive to any questions or concerns, and made our vision come to life effortlessly. We can’t wait to utilize her for other special occasions, anniversaries, etc. Thank you so much!”

“I am so so happy we worked with Kellie and her amazing company. From our initial tasting to our wedding day, we were so thrilled with her. Our cake was GORGEOUS and of course, tasted amazing. All of our guests were so happy with the other treats she prepared for us. The best part was she was able to prepare gluten-free desserts for my little brother and he LOVED them.”

“Kellie is a DREAM to work with. I had seen her work in so many weddings on Instagram that I knew I wanted to have her do our desserts for our wedding day. I was really worried about costs. But after we hired our wedding planner and she raved about Kellie, so we didn't bother searching for other dessert vendors. To our surprise, Kellie's quote was so reasonable! She was extremely communicative and made sure to make our vision come alive. We do not live in town, and Kellie does tastings at certain times of the year, but she accommodated our schedule which was very kind of her to do despite her busy schedule. Not only were her tastings delicious and beautiful, she was so generous in adding a few extra goodies in there to try. We didn't opt to try the lemon meringue but after trying it, we added it to our dessert array for our wedding day! Everything came out so pretty and was a big hit with our guests - not a single cupcake or cookie was left behind. Most of all is her sugar work - which no one believed were hand made flowers! Kellie's talent and kind heart make it so easy to work with her, and we enjoyed all of our interactions. Thank you so much for making our special day tasty and sweet!”

“Kellie at Palette Cakes was a true find! We discovered her through our wedding venue as a recommendation, we couldn’t have been happier! Her designs are unique and gorgeous. She was very easy to collaborate with on our cake, desserts and wedding favors (shortbread cookies). On the day of our wedding, we were completely blown away by the cake and everything. Thank you for helping to make our special day truly unique and special!”

“Kellie is so talented!! Not only was our wedding cake beautiful and one-of-a-kind, but it was also so delicious. We had so many wedding guests come up to us to comment on how great the cake was. I highly recommend Palette Cakes for any cake needs.”

Ally M. - Park Winters 2022, Winters

“I am so glad we choose Palette Cakes for our wedding! Kellie produces the most beautiful and delicious desserts, she is a true artist! Her handmade sugar flowers are amazing. Kellie was such a pleasure to work with, she took my inspo and created a design better than I could have ever dreamed of!”

“KELLIE IS AMAZING!! I cannot give enough stars for this review.
We hired Kellie for our wedding in April 2022. Not only did she do our wedding cake, but she also supplied a wide variety of mini desserts for our dessert table. I am not a fan of chocolate & peanut butter. So when my husband (then fiance) wanted to try it out for a possible wedding cake flavor, I was less than pleased. Kellie's delicious cake flavor was able to completely change my mind! Of all the cake flavors we tested, honey-roasted PB & Choc was my second pick, his first pick. My first pick was her Almond Apricot. We ended up getting both flavors, one for each tier. The dessert table was the talk of the town. We had mini: cheesecakes, lemon meringue tarts, cream puffs (with a delectable caramelized sugar top), and  vegan berry tarts. I wanted to surprise my groom on our special day with some tasty getting ready treats, and Kellie was able to coordinate with me and my planner to get some of her amazing cookies in the suite for my groom and his party to enjoy. Her crazy cornflake cookies are divine. Our wedding cake was so beautiful! We wanted a simple clean design with some gold trimming and she nailed it. She was open in communication the entire time and super responsive. The handmade sugar flowers were beyond my expectations. They were so realistic, our guests couldn't understand why I dove right in for a bite! We are coming up on our 1-year anniversary and instead of thawing out a year-old tier of cake (we decided to pass on that tradition), we are getting fresh mini versions of our wedding cake and some of those unforgettable mini desserts! We live pretty far away from the Kellie, but we don't care: SHE IS WORTH THE LONG DRIVE! Kellie, thank you for being a part of our special day and continuing to enrich our lives with such delicious flavors and textures.”

“Kellie was a dream to work with. She took my inspiration and created a piece of art in the form of a wedding cake. Her sugar flowers and hand-painted cookies are especially gorgeous. My guests literally attacked the dessert bar, they didn't even wait for dessert plates to come out before they started grabbing pastries and piling them on top of cookies, it was quite fun to watch. Everything was delicious and photographed beautifully. Can't say enough nice things!”

Kendall R. - Private Estate 2021, Elk Grove

“Kellie is a true artist, and it is difficult to even put into words how I feel about the cake she created for our wedding. It was the most beautiful wedding cake I had ever seen, and seriously delicious. Her sugar flowers are unreal!! With a few inspiration photos and a brief conversation, Kellie designed a wedding cake far beyond our dreams. It was such an honor to work with Kellie, and we would hire her again in a second! She is kind, professional, and extremely talented. We can hardly wait to eat the top tier on our first wedding anniversary :)”

"Happy doesn't begin to cover it. I was blown away by Kellie's work! When I discovered Palette Cakes, I felt my Pinterest board come to life. Truthfully, when I started planning my wedding, some things seems simply out of reach; never did I think my dream wedding cake would be a reality. But, when I found Kellie, she more than brought my cake dreams to life! And when I had too many inspo pics, Kellie somehow created the perfect version of all the cakes I ever loved. My cakes were surreal, both beautiful and tasty! I couldn't have been happier. Working with Kellie was the easiest and best decision I made throughout the wedding planning process.”

Hannah S. - Park Winters 2021, Winters

“Booking Kellie for our wedding was the greatest thing we could have done! Not only is she INSANELY talented, and her cakes are delicioussss, but she's such a good friend and was super supportive during my planning process. We had Kellie create a 2 flavor cake, cupcakes, painted cookies, and sooo many more things on our dessert table. People were really blown away by how delicious they were and how beautiful everything was. Do yourself a favor and hire Kellie for your wedding. No hesitation, my FAVE vendor!!”

“Where do I begin to express my deepest gratitude and love for Kellie and Palette Cakes?! Not only was she incredibly easy, professional, and fun to work with but she truly encapsulated our wedding in cake form. Even with sharing just vague ideas, she took our suggestions and created this beautiful and delicious cake. Not only did we do a cake for cutting purposes, but we also opted to do a dessert bar and my dear goodness, just WOW!!! She exceeded our expectations beyond words and we are so thankful to start our happily ever after with the sweetness that Kellie delivered both in product and service. If you are in the Sacramento or surrounding areas and are looking for a baker, this is it! Her attention to detail is unmatched and the taste is out of this world. Having had my own wedding and been to many others, the one thing people always talk about are the food and cake and all of our guests were amazed and satisfied. Make the room in your budget for Palette Cakes; I promise it's worth every penny!”

Sarah A. - Beaulieu Garden 2019, Saint Helena

“Kellie did the most amazing job creating a wedding cake for us. Her attention to all the details from the beginning of the process all the way through to the delivery of the cake was so wonderful!!! Kellie was willing to tailor the flavors to our liking, and they were all delicious (red velvet, carrot cake, and vanilla with pistachio). The cakes were so flavorful and moist!! They even tasted good a few days later when I couldn't help myself from having more. The decorations were also absolutely gorgeous. Kellie's artistry was evident in the beautiful hand piped floral details on two of the tiers of our cake, as well as handmade sugar flowers. Kellie's desire to help create the perfect cake for your wedding is amazing. She truly made me feel like my cake was a unique creation. I could not recommend Palette cakes more!”

Kristin T. - Serrano Country Club 2019, El Dorado Hills

“The owner of Palette Cakes, Kellie, is the most talented pastry artist I have ever seen. Her work with sugar flowers is absolutely STUNNING and her cakes and cookies are delicious! I had the pleasure of having her make my cake and cookie table for my wedding last month, and I could not be happier with how everything turned out. I would 100% RECOMMEND Palette Cakes and will definitely use her again for future needs!”

Ramsen A. - Charels Krug Winery 2018, Saint Helena

“Kellie was awesome to work with. She listened to everything we were looking for out of our cake. She sent us back and forth a few visual mockups as we tweaked things to the final design. Our tasting with her was super tasty and we had a hard time deciding which flavors to go with! The final cake came out beautiful......she is amazing at making the sugar flowers. Even when standing right in front of the cake and looking closely, they still look like real flowers! Highly recommended because of her talent and she's super SWEET too ;)”

Alexandria M. - Oceano Hotel & Spa 2017, Half Moon Bay

“Kellie is both professional and heartfelt. She really listened to our needs and executed the final product, exceeding our expectations. Not only did she create the best tasting cake (three flavors) we've ever had, the artistic touch she brings to the table is gold-medal standard. She delivered, as promised and her prices are much more competitive than any other baker in the Bay Area. You will not receive this quality of service and product anywhere else.”

Hillary M. - Cornerstone Winery 2015, Sonoma

“Palette Cakes is a hidden gem and the creator of our beautiful wedding cake. When going through the cake tasting process, we found it was surprisingly rare to find a baker whose cakes tasted as good as they looked, and then we found Palette Cakes. Our cake was a delicious chocolate caramel creation with perfectly smooth white frosting on the outside. When we came to Kellie, all it took was a few pictures of our wedding inspiration and she was able to create the most magnificent sugar flowers ... on our wedding day, I had to do a double-take because they seriously looked like real flowers. It wasn't until we cut into one and heard the crackling of broken sugar that we knew they were indeed fake. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect, and my biggest regret of the night was honestly not eating more of the cake ... it was that good. Thank you Kellie & Palette Cakes!”
