The best cake I’ve ever had
Shelly was so nice and easy to work with! She really is passionate about what she does and her hard work does not go unnoticed! She made our decision so easy the second we tried her cake, it was light, moist, and airy and the frosting was the perfect balance of rich and creamy. Our guests were so impressed with how amazing it tasted! The rental cake was absolutely stunning and people were shocked when they found out it wasn’t real, even though it wasn’t real we still got to keep the tradition of cutting the cake together, as there is a spot cut out to put the real cake. The sheet cakes were so easy to cut and there was no waste like we would of had if we went with the “traditional” cake.Shelly was so nice and easy to work with!

Tastefully Tasty
Shelly was great to work with and makes the cake process easy! She has many options with different choices to suit each brides needs. The rental wedding cake is the way to go! You still get to have your cake cutting pictures/moment but without the price tag that comes with your typical decorated wedding cake! It was easy to coordinate my vision for the cake as well as the return of the cake. She is quick to respond and has organized paperwork to help spell out all you need to know for the wedding cake process. The cake was absolutely delicious! We had three different sheet cake flavors and all our guests raved about the options with Chocolate Raspberry Truffle, Bridal White, and Lemon Pucker!

Our last minute decision to order a cake from Shelly turned out to be one of the best decisions we could have made. Her willingness to work with us on short notice was so very helpful and her cakes speak for themselves! Not a morsel left! Everyone raved about the cake. As a matter of fact, our caterer couldn’t cut them fast enough! So thankful for this sweet lady, and her sweet cakes! *(BTW our flavor choices were Lemon/Raspberry Zinger, Black Tie, Very Vanilla, Strawberry Fields. I can’t pick a favorite because I only got a crumb of the Lemon, but the chocolate was flying off the table!)Our last minute decision to order a cake from Shelly turned out to be one of the best decisions we could have made.

Shelly did an wonderful job with our wedding cake design it was beautiful and exactly what we wanted. The cake we served tasted amazing. We had so many complements on the it. Shelly was flexible and made it easy to return the rented cake portion. I think this is a great route for wedding cakes, we had little to no cake left over the next morning. Very cost effective and tastes excellent! Our favorites were Strawberry Fields and Tuxedo.Shelly did an wonderful job with our wedding cake design it was beautiful and exactly what we wanted.

Best Cake Ever!!! Working with Rent-a-Cake was super easy and stress free! I love everything about this concept, and it was very budget friendly! I had a beach theme cake, and she couldn't have made it any more perfect! It had a very earthy, rustic beach feel, and she captured my idea of what I wanted perfectly! The cakes were delivered, on time, and fresh! Everyone at my reception was blown away by how good each flavor tasted! Rent-a-Cake is hassle free, budget friendly, has professional service, and DELICIOUS!!!Best Cake Ever!!! Working with Rent-a-Cake was super easy and stress free!

Shelly was absolutely wonderful to work with! Not only did I use shelly for my wedding cake so did 3 of my cousins and now my soon to be sister in law plans on using her as well! She not only makes wonderful cakes but is a great person as well!
For our wedding we used the rent-a-cake and couldn't have been happier! We got so many compliments on how beautiful our cake was and not to mention how yummy it was! I went to tons of bridal shows but you can never find a cake that is both moist, full of flavor AND not too sweet! Her cakes are the perfect combination!
I have pictures posted in my profile so feel free to take a peak!
our flavors we chose were Raspberry Zinger, Chocolate Lovers and I think Lemon ZingerShelly was absolutely wonderful to work with!

Shelly's Country Cakes also does rent-a-cakes which are AMAZING!! The cost is very reasonable & helpful when you're on a tighter budget. Her cakes also taste phenomenal! Because we couldn't decide on flavors, we had 4 different selections at my reception & there were people raving about each & every one. I would recommend Shelly's Country Cakes to ANY bride no matter what design or budget they might be working with. She also did an incredible job with the grooms cake. I had an idea & she truly brought it to life! GREAT vendor!Shelly's Country Cakes also does rent-a-cakes which are AMAZING!! The cost is very reasonable & helpful when you're on a tighter budget.

Shelly was our #3 choice, based on taste. Number 1 refused to do a buttercream cake for us, #2 was too expensive. Shelly had a lot of flavors to choose from; at our first meeting she brought us six cupcakes and was very straightforward about talking business but also very friendly and likable. When we didn't love how the buttercream tasted, she worked with us to find a way to make it yummier, which we really appreciated. Our cake had almost no decoration and was still quite pricey, but our guests raved about the way it looked and tasted so we'd definitely recommend Shelly to anyone. Try the almond!Shelly was our #3 choice, based on taste. Number 1 refused to do a buttercream cake for us, #2 was too expensive.
