    Best wedding cake ever!

    Cathy's wedding cake was not only beautiful, it was delicious! Our wedding was almost a month ago and our guests are still raving about the delicious vanilla cake with raspberry filling. We heard countless times that it was the best wedding cake they had ever had. Cathy and Bryan were so easy to work with and provided a beautiful silver cake stand for the day of. Thank you, Cathy!!

    So delicious!!

    Many friends of ours told us about Cakes By Cathy and as soon as we tried her cakes we knew we needed to have her do our wedding cake!! We got a signature vanilla with strawberry and it was so good! We could't wait to eat in on the wedding day. Cathy was super helpful whenever we had questions and I could not have been happier with the cake she made for us! Thank you to you and your team's hard work in making our wedding day special with your delicious cake!

    Get the red velvet!

    Cathy was wonderful to work with! She nailed my vision of a very simple 3 tier cake, and the red velvet cake was to die for. My guests are still talking about it!

    Strongly recommend!

    We used Cakes by Cathy Young for both the bride and groom cakes at our wedding and it was a huge hit. We received so many compliments from our guests, many saying it was the best cake they've every had at a wedding. Great experience!

    Best cake!

    Save yourself some time, go visit Cathy and taste her cakes...you won't need to look any further! Our daughter lives out of town, and I was planning the wedding here in SA. A local caterer suggested Cathy, I made a tasting appointment. Cathy is so sweet and helpful, she patiently helped us decide on a cake style. My daughter and her fiance chose a 3 tier with 3 different flavors...almond, red velvet, and carrot (each with unique fillings). On the wedding day, we arrived at the venue to see the beautiful cake, it was perfect. The groom's cake was a 3 layer chocolate, also decorated just as requested. Once the cake was sliced, the guests could not believe how delicious it tasted! Oh my gosh, I have never had such moist and melt-in-your-mouth wedding cake! My only regret is that I didn't get to taste the carrot cake layer, but guests said it was divine. You cannot go wrong with a Cake by Cathy....it's worth every penny!!!

    Delicious Cakes!!

    Cathy's Cakes are like no other! She bakes in the comfort of her beautiful home. Her vanilla cake with buttercream frosting melts in your mouth! I showed Cathy a photo of a cake idea and she did not disappoint! One guest told me he ate 3 slices of wedding cake at the reception because it tasted so good! Our groom's cake was red velvet and Cathy also added our edible emblem for the top of the cake. Thankfully we had leftover wedding cake available and a few weeks later her frozen cake still tasted AMAZING!

    BEST, beautiful cake!

    Cathy and her team were so easy to work with, and her cake for my wedding was absolutely delicious! It’s one of the best cakes I’ve ever had – so moist and light – and I’m still thinking about it three weeks later. You won’t regret booking Cathy.

    The best cake I’ve ever had

    After the wedding I had at least 10 guests come up to me to see who made the cake (one said he ate 7 pieces!!). The best tasting cake we have ever had and for a really great price. Could not be happier with the cake!

    Dreamy Vanilla

    Our wedding cake was both beautiful and delicious. Our guests raved over the moist vanilla cake that was so decorated perfectly for our Fly Me to the Moon Wedding.

    Cathy was lovely to work with and her cake was as delicious on our wedding night as it was when we did our tasting. Seriously, her cakes are the best! She also did a great job decorating the cake, and was prompt in emails and delivery. We will definitely use her for cakes again in the future!

    Cathy's cakes are by far the most delicious of any I have ever tried!! Cathy is such a sweetheart to work with! She made both the grooms cake and the bridal cake for my wedding in February. She is still getting compliments to this day, from my guests. I've referred her to several brides already. She has a heart of gold and it honestly shows through her cakes. Between the mouth watering taste, her strong attention to detail, and her strong desire to please her clients..there is no doubt you'll make the right choice with Cakes by Cathy. I would HIGHLY recommend you choose Cathy for any occasion! Tray & Christina Lewis

    THE BEST WEDDING CAKE EVER! We did several tastings and she was far and away the best tasting cake, and was so fun and easy to talk to. Her staff was responsive and courteous in the whole process and open to any designs we wanted, they even put our requested flowers on the cake to match our bouquets. Cathy has such a distinct flavor that a guest actually noticed it and asked if it was cake from Cathy. The cake was not overly sweet, and several days later, is still just as delicious. The only drawback is that she did not offer as wide of a variety of flavors as other cake vendors, but the flavors she did offer were so delicious that we didn't care. The brides cake was vanilla with white icing, and the grooms cake was red velvet (the best red velvet we've ever had). We also borrowed a cake stand from her for an extra charge.

    If you want the most delicious wedding cake that is also super beautiful - you cannot go wrong with Cakes by Cathy Young. We were sold the second we tried her vanilla and chocolate chocolate chip cupcakes during our consultation. My husband, who doesn't even like cakes, was amazed at how good they taste. Every single vendor I used recommended her. Our cake was stunning for our wedding and fed 250 people. We highly recommend using Cakes by Cathy Young for your wedding or event!

    After booking Kendall Plantation for our wedding, the common theme with all the vendors we spoke with was, “Have you booked your cake yet? If not, you need to call Cathy Young immediately!” I had already made a couple of appointments with some people that I had heard good things about; however, after meeting with a couple them, I never left the appointments feeling like I needed to book with them. I’m not a big fan of cake, but I still wanted it to be pretty and taste good so our guests enjoyed it. I wasn’t impressed with the taste of the cakes and often people didn’t even acknowledge my fiancé or my mom. Thankfully, I was able to make an appointment with Cathy. As soon as we met her, I knew I loved her! My husband was working, so my mom came with me and she warmly greeted both of us. Before we even spoke about the cake, she wanted to get to know us some, she wanted to hear how my husband and I met and teared up as I told her the story, and she wanted to hear about my full vison for the wedding! She made us feel so comfortable and welcomed! Thankfully, she had our date available. I know I said I didn’t like cake, but Cathy turned me into a cake lover. It is the best cake I have ever had in my entire life. The cake is so moist and the icing is perfect. It was a no brainer that I needed to book with her. Not only are her cakes amazing, she is the sweetest woman alive. She makes you feel more like family rather than a customer. The day of the wedding, she brought the cake and didn’t want to leave until she saw me and told me she hoped I had a perfect day. She gave me the biggest hug! The cake brought me to tears. It was EXACTLY what I had envisioned. The guests LOVED the cake. I’ve been married a little less than a month now, and I am still having guests talk about the cake and how beautiful it was and how it was the best cake they have ever had. I am so grateful for Cathy and her incredible talent and her sweet heart!

    Don't look any further than Cathy Young for your wedding cake. I love her!! She made the cake my daughter had always dreamed of having on her wedding day. Not only was the cake absolutely stunning it was THE BEST cake we have ever eaten. My daughter picked three flavors and they were a hit. Our guests LOVED the cake. We had minimal cake left to take home because it was so GOOD. We met with Cathy twice to discuss what my daughter wanted. The visits were so fun (and TASTY). She made us so excited about the cake that we could not wait to see it. On the day of the wedding when the cake was delivered we were blown away by the beauty of the cake. I can't say thank you enough to Cathy for making the most beautiful, tasty cake ever and for exceeding our expectations.

    One of the best decisions I made for my wedding! Cathy was amazing, her cakes are amazing, and the presentation was beautiful. I asked our venue coordinator about if she had a recommendation for cakes and she pretty much yelled at me and said "YOU HAVE YOU USE CAKES BY CATHY" I learned that if you get married in San Antonio, you use Cathy, no questions. We had two cakes done, a two-tier semi-naked buttercream cake and a chocolate groom's cake. My husband is a pilot and she did his aviator wings on the top to personalize it and it was unbelievable. I will recommend Cathy to everyone and anyone I know. Thanks again for everything!

    We selected Cakes by Cathy for 3 reasons: we loved the moistness (and flavor!) of the samples we tasted, we had received glowing recommendations from several friends, and after meeting her we trusted she would do a good job. When I walked into our reception I was blown away at how GORGEOUS the cake was. It looked like a picture in a magazine! It tasted more delicious than I'd remembered and I am not exaggerating when I say that SO MANY of our guests actually raved about the cake and how delicious it was. She also helped advise us on the feasibility of a cake stand I had purchased and also ensured there was stability built into the top tier to accommodate the custom cake topper I had ordered. I cannot imagine anyone in San Antonio getting a better wedding cake anywhere else. Cathy is simply the best. THANK YOU for the beautiful, delicious cake!

    We have always used Cathy for our birthday cakes and other "special day" cakes, but we finally got to use her for my daughters wedding cake this past weekend. I thought we would have a lot of leftover cake since I know some people don't eat cake, but there was not one piece left because it was SO good-people went back for seconds and thirds! She never disappoints-best tasting cake ever. Thanks Cathy!
