    Highly Recommended!

    If you want not only a delicious, but absolutely beautiful cake for your wedding, definitely go with Kristi at Ahimsa Custom Cakes! Not only was our cake gorgeous, but our guests were raving about the taste. Our best man said it was the best cake he's ever had! Kristi was excellent to work with. I sent her 3 pictures of cakes I found on the internet, each one with one element that I really liked, and I wanted to combine them. She did a wonderful job and it even went perfectly with our wedding colors, although I don't think I even told her what they were! Great flavors, too: We chose French toast, chocolate and cookie dough for our 3 layer cake (even her vanilla cake, which I normally find dull, is phenomenal!). And included in the price is a fresh made anniversary cake for your first anniversary! Can't recommend Kristi enough!

    Kristi was great to work with! The sample cakes were delicious and helped us choose our flavor (the yummy vanilla cake and vanilla frosting). Kristi had creative ideas on how to get the look I wanted. The sugar succulents she created were elegant and realistic. The cake was packaged for easy transportation and pick up was a breeze. The guests raved about the cake and wanted more (PS They didn't know it was vegan!). I can't wait to get my complimentary one-year anniversary cake : ) I highly recommend Ahimsa Custom Cakes for quality, professionalism, and flexibility.

    We found Ahimsa Custom Cakes from a simple google search online- and we sure are lucky that we did.

    Kristi is a very talented baker and a very kind and pleasant person. It was very simple choosing Ahimsa with the all natural ingredients and amazing taste!

    Our wedding cake was exactly what I wanted and more! We had a 4 tier cake and each tier was a different flavor. Our guests were so pleased with our cakes taste and also with the look of our cake!

    Definitely recommend Ahimsa to anybody looking for an all natural amazing tasting beautiful cake for any occasion!

    Kristi was wonderful to work with. She replied to emails within a day. She is extremely creative and integrated our ideas into the cake beautifully. There were plenty of flavor options available. She even delivered it the day of the wedding. I highly recommend her!

    I will always remember the gorgeous unicorn/fox cake she made for us. It was based off a valentines card my husband drew for me our first valentines together. She did an amazing job keeping the idea of a 2D image while adding 3D effects.

    I am SO happy we found Kristi and her wonderful baking skills! We have family members who are vegan and so we decided to seek out a vegan baker for our wedding so that everyone could have cake! Let me first say that even if you're NOT vegan, you will want to sit down with Kristi and try her cake-- it tastes amazing no matter what your food preferences are.
    We had a great tasting session with and knew after the first bite that we wanted to book her. She runs her business from her in-home licensed kitchen. She is a genuinely kind person who really listens to what your ideas are and asks lots of questions to make sure everyone is on the same page. We had lots of emails back and forth and she was always quick to respond. We decided to go with cupcakes instead of a traditional cake, and I kind of let Kristi take the reins as far as design went, so seeing the final product on our wedding day was a happy surprise! Everyone loved the cupcakes -- when someone came up to us to tell us how good they were and we told them yes they are, and they're vegan-- people were happily surprised! My only disappointment was that everyone had eaten the mocha ones before I could get to one ;) I couldn't recommend Kristi enough!

    Kristi and her vegan creations are nothing short of AWESOME!! When I started looking for cake vendors, I immediately scheduled a tasting with her based on her reviews. Needless to say after the tasting, I knew that Kristi would be baking our cake and cupcakes...I didn't even look any further after. You will never guess in a million years that everything she makes is VEGAN!! My guests were absolutely stunned with this fact...everyone raved at how delicious they were! Not only does she bake completely vegan, but she can also do gluten free which was something that I absolutely needed as my niece has Celiac disease. Again, they tasted so good. So nice and moist! I can't wait for my anniversary cake (which she provides at no cost)!!

    Kristi is the epitome of professionalism! She is immediately responsive to all e-mails and is beyond conscientious of the cleanliness of her kitchen and home. The tastiness of her product is absolutely top shelf along with her level of customer service.

    If you want a delicious, moist cake for your wedding cake, look no further than Ahimsa Custom Cakes!! She has these amazing ratings for a reason!!!

    Kristi did a truly fantastic job with my dark chocolate, vanilla frosted, custom lobster topper, two tiered wedding cake as well as shark themed cupcakes for the groom. Our guests at them right up and all couldn't believe they were vegan. She helped make my day the dream I always wanted. I will be ordering again!

    Kristi is amazing. I cannot even express how important it was for me to find a vegan baker that rocked both flavor and design. She baked the most amazing, chocolate, two teared with vanilla frosting wedding cake and made the most adorable lobster wedding topper with a violin for me and skiis for the groom. She also make shark themed french toast cupcakes for the groom that were over the top and gone as soon as people could eat them. After having her make our wedding cake I ordered a blueberry birthday cake for my in-laws and it was to die for. I can't say enough about these cakes and cupcakes!

    Our cakes were amazing! Kristi kept in touch with us and sent us emails to double check the details before the wedding. When I sent her an email two weeks before the wedding inquiring about a groom's cake she was very accommodating and made a perfect cake. We went with the French toast flavor and the lemon with blueberry preserves. Amazing!! The two cakes were beautiful!

    Kristi is an absolute pleasure to work with! From the incredibly prompt email responses, her flexibilty, her talent as a baker, professionalism, to just being a very nice woman. We did a cake tasting, which was delicious, and she was very pleasant to talk to, very helpful, and I didn't even feel the need to try other venues because the cake was great and I felt comfortable talking to her about the details of the cake. She understood what we were looking for a cake, and I don't even think I was the best communicator about what I wanted! She just got it. The cake was a hit with everyone, and all of our guests were floored when we told them the cake was vegan! Don't let that deter you at all! The fact that we got a 3 tier cake and didn't have to worry about saving and freezing our top tier for our anniversary was such an added bonus! Although my husband wanted to call the next day to say it was our anniversary just to get more! Seriously, she was a downright pleasure to work with and we could not have wished for a better cake! I highly recommend using her as a baker and I recommend trying the blueberry pancake flavor because it was a huge hit!!

    Kristi was awesome! Our cake was SO beautiful and delicious! No one guessed it was vegan :) Kristi is so easy to work with and responded very quickly to phone messages and emails. She happily accommodated my weird requests and even delivered the cake and got it all set up on the day of the wedding. I sent her a picture of a cake I loved and ours turned out even better than that one. Her prices are very reasonable too. Don't hesitate to hire her!

    We live in a day and age where customer service and customer appreciation have gone by the wayside. Not so with Ahimsa. She bent over backward for us in every respect. Her capability as an artist an craftsman are like none I have seen before. She took a vision and made it a beautiful reality .

    Kristi was an absolute doll to work with. Our cake was incredibly delicious and decorated with expert skill. All of our guests were talking about how great the cake was for days after the wedding. Our two year old daughter still keeps asking for "more blue cake" (we got the blueberry pancake flavor and would definitely recommend it!).

    Kristi was the epitome of what a wedding cake vendor should be. She provided insight, creativity, feedback and was more than prompt at response times (responding sometimes at 11pm at night just to make sure that a response was received on my end).

    We requested a less than normal wedding cake. My husband and I wanted a cake that told a story of our triumphs and all of the important aspects of our relationship over the past 5 years. We gave Kristi "our story" and out of that she did an amazing cake that really was a Road to Life.

    A simple yet elegant road went around the cake, spiraling to the top, with a custom topper of my husband and I, in our wedding garb, on his motorcyle. Kristi did an exact replica of the motorcyle, leaving no detail undone.

    It was so emotional walking around the cake, seeing our life unfold in front of us. To this day we look at pictures and see little things that we missed the first time around. There was so much time, effort and detail put into this, you can truly notice it! Our family and friends thought it was the BEST, most creative cake they had ever seen, and that was before they tasted it.


    Being a vegan baker, we had our hesitations, but Kristi delivered!! Cookies and cream, Cinnamon Toast and Lemon Blueberry were our tier flavors and each one was as amazing as the next. Our cake went FAST!

    Overall, I give Kristi a 10 out of 5. A 5 out of 5 just doesn't do her justice.

    I will use her for any cake event, from here on out. Period.

    Kristi is such an awesome person to work with. She really cared about giving me exactly what I wanted. Not only did she give me a custom cake but she managed to make it fit the theme of my wedding perfectly. It was also really delicious everyone loved it I didn't have much left over to take home! She also offers a free cake for your 1 year anniversary that way to don't have to eat a cake that has been freezer burned and is a year old. I highly recommend Ahimsa custom cakes.

    I got exactly what I requested. I had an image in my mind and she captured that exactly. It was delicious and beautiful. Kristi is so accommodating and willing to please. Everyone raved about the flavors of our wedding cake. A tiffany blue three layer cake that looked like a tufted pillow with a layer of filigree design. My daughter want something elegant and minimalist, somewhat modern and unique and of course vegan and I wanted a cake that was as traditional as possible, such an old fuddy duddy..... Kristi found a way to make both of us happy. I was so delighted with the results, I can't say enough just how lovely the cake was both in design and presentation. We went with the tuxedo (vanilla and red crimson chocolate) and blueberry pancake ( blueberry and maine maple syrup) flavors, just delicious!

    The cake was AMAZING. It tasted great and looked beautiful. Kristi is an amazing person to work with. She makes you comfortable from the taste test to the day it is delivered. She even let me know when she was going to be out of town so I wouldn't be worried if she didn't answer an email!! My favorite part is for sure the free 4" anniversary tier for our 1 year anniversary. No freezer burnt cake from this wonderful lady!!
