  • Perfect Cupcakes! Literally none left!

    Uncommon Cakes was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, their communication was prompt, professional, and thoughtful. They were extremely accommodating, working with us to create a custom order that included both a small bride-and-groom cake as well as an assortment of delicious cupcakes in so many unique and delectable flavors. Uncommon Cakes truly went above and beyond, always double-checking to ensure we were happy with every detail. The end result was nothing short of stunning - their cakes are not only beautiful, but people literally could not resist them. People kept asking if it was time for cake yet, and there were quite literally not cupcakes (or bridal cake!) left at the end of the day. We are so grateful to Uncommon Cakes for helping make our special day that much more memorable.

    Uncommon Cakes was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding! From start to finish, their communication was efficient, consistent, and extremely helpful. We simply sent them a couple of inspiration photos and they worked with us to bring our dream wedding cake to life. On the day of, everything was set up perfectly and ready to go without a hitch. The cake itself was super delicious and sweet and everyone loves the pies. There were barely any leftovers for us to take home! We're so grateful to Amanda for helping make our special day even more perfect.

  • The most delicious thing you will ever eat

    We first had Amanda's cupcakes at our venue tour of Lovingston Winery. We bought four: two to eat and two to take home. Well, that didn't happen. They were so delicious, that we inhaled all four, and then two more that another couple bought us in celebration of our engagement. I am not exaggerating when I say that these are the best cupcakes you will ever eat. The flavors are so fun, creative, and DELICIOUS (and she's able to customize them), and they're the perfect amount of sweetness. Plus they're beautiful! We got cupcakes for our wedding instead of a cake just so we could have more flavors. When I tell you it was nearly impossible to choose our top three, I mean it. We had notes and multiple discussions on which flavors to pick because they were all so good. We even ended up having three more flavors for our rehearsal dinner because we couldn't decide. All of our guests absolutely loved them (even those who "don't like cake"), and the few that were left at the end of the night were perfect for us and the bridal party to snack on as an afterparty treat. Amanda was super accommodating, communicative, and the sweetest person too! I cannot recommend her enough!!!!
