Karen The Cake Lady

Karen is amazing to work with and really goes above and beyond. The tasting was wonderful and she was able to guide us on the correct amount of desserts to order for our wedding. She took care of everything including setup! Her prices are also extremely reasonable! I would recommend Karen to anyone getting married!

We hired Karen to make our wedding cakes (regular wedding cake plus a half-sheet) this past July. As opposed to a number of other bakers we looked at, she was easy to work with and didn't try to up-sell us, charge for a cake tasting or get pretentious. The cakes she made for us were beautiful and elegant and tasted great. I'm pretty sure a good number of our guests had more than one piece. Her prices were more than fair. She delivered the cakes and assembled them at the venue for a reasonable price. We (and our guests) were very pleased with the appearance and taste of the cakes. And the price includes a small cake for your one-year anniversary (instead of eating an old freezer-burned piece of cake you saved from your wedding day). We highly recommend Karen.

Karen was such a joy to work with. She has provided many baked goods for my husband and his family over the years, so it was an easy decision to go with her for our wedding day! Cake tasting was our favorite part of wedding planning, and WOW did she deliver! She was so patient + helpful, and everything she baked for us was delicious! Truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend Karen!

Karen was awesome to work with! We loved every single item we tried during our tasting so we had a difficult time deciding what cakes, cupcakes, and other treats to offer. We ended up going with 3 cupcake flavors, some 7 layer bars, and a 3 tier cake that had 2 flavors. I only heard great things from all of our guests about the desserts and there was very little left over at the end of the night. She delivered the items, brought displays, and set up the dessert bar. Highly recommend booking her for your big day!

Called multiple fancy places, attempting to have a cake made for mothers day. It was a blue ribbon award winning cake from a Netflix show my wife loves. I had almost completely given up when I came across Karen. I was unable to reach her by phone so I went to her shop, which I recommend instead of calling. I met her explained what I was trying to have made, and without pause said she would be able to make it and to email her a picture of the cake for reference along with the recipe. When I picked it up, it looked exactly as it had on the show, it was perfect. The flavor and texture of the cake was on point as well, all for an extremely reasonable price in my opinion as well, for a specialty made cake. Skip all the specialty cake shops in Madison. They are pricey and most if not all will no
