    Best cake ever

    When going cake tasting nothing compared to the cake we tasted here. I loved how we got to create our own cake at the tasting by combining different flavors and fillings. We recommend cakes by grace to everyone even if it’s just to go in and get one cupcake. The cakes are so moist and flavorful. Highly recommend!

    Delicious And Beautiful Wedding Cake!

    My husband and I had an amazing experience working with Grace and Elizabeth! They were very accommodating when we were trying to schedule our tastings during their peak wedding season (since we were planning our wedding long-distance it took several iterations of emails to schedule all our vendor meetings over the same weekend). The tasting itself went very well - my husband and I knew what individual flavors we liked but Grace helped us combine different layer and frosting flavors to create a cake that was what we wanted yet also pleasing to people who didn't want pure chocolate ;) They were very patient while we went back and forth on whether or not we wanted additional treats along with our cake every time our guest list fluctuated. Additionally, they were able to design the cake to our exact specifications by combining aspects from 3 or 4 sample pinterest cakes and using our custom cake toppers. And of course, the most important thing, the cake was ABSOLUTELY delicious! I would highly recommend them for any event in South Lake Tahoe and we will definitely be coming back for future anniversary treats :)

    Cakes by Grace is absolutely delicious and fantastic! We first tried her cake for a family members birthday and we knew that when we started planning our wedding that her and her team would be the ones we would want to make our cake and cupcakes! We set up a tasting and we ended up getting a two tier round with almond cake, chocolate ganache, and Italian buttercream for our first tier. The second tier was red velvet! We ordered smore's pops and assorted cupcakes for our guests- Irish Car Bomb, Strawberry Lemonade, Oreo, Red Velvet, Almond, and Champagne flavors! Every time we are in Tahoe and near her shop we make sure to stop by and grab a little treat for ourselves!

    Cakes by Grace was amazing. We had them make our wedding cake and provide a dessert bar for our wedding. The funfetti cake with fresh raspberry filling was incredible. The italian buttercream frosting definitely the way to go because it's not overly sweet like most buttercream frostings. The lemon cake with raspberry frosting mini-cupcakes also so delicious...everyone's go to.

    Grace makes the best cupcakes ever! We used her for our wedding cake and cupcakes and they were delicious! Best carrot cake I've ever had. She set everything up for us and made our cake table look so beautiful with our homemade cupcake stands and cake topper. She took care of everything! Any time my husband and I go back to Lake Tahoe in the future we will definitely be stopping by Cakes by Grace to say hi and grab a cupcake!

    Grace was great to work with. We ended up getting a dessert table for guests which had brownies, cookies, and mini cupcakes. We also had our own 6 inch cake that she made into a book that turned out incredibly! The cake looked amazing and tasted so good! We were able to try some pieces from the dessert bar, and those were tasty too! She was very professional and flexible when I changed some items around. I was impressed with how moist the cake was days later. It was soooo good! Thank you for creating delicious desserts and being part of our wedding day Grace! :)

    Highly recommend! Cakes by Grace was amazing! We didn't choose the traditional cake but instead had a small cake(for cutting) on top and then cake pops. We did have to buy our own stand for the cake and pops but everything came out perfectly. We were able to do a tasting when we went to Tahoe last year. The cake pops were amazing and we were able to customize them and have different flavors. Everyone kept saying how good the cake pops and cake were.

    We didn't want an extravagant wedding cake that costs $1000, there was no way I was going to pay a lot for cake. We just wanted a delicious cake that everyone could enjoy. We sat down with Grace and told her what we had in mind and she didn't think we were crazy or cheap for not wanting a stereotypical multi tier cake. We only had about 60-65 people at the wedding so we went with a large square sheet cake and it was amazing. She put some flowers on top for color and it was perfect. We loved her cake so much, we also purchased 3 dozen cupcakes for our rehearsal dinner dessert..and oh my god..so good. Grace is known throughout South Lake Tahoe, so much so that on the morning of the wedding, the hair dresser came my house to do my hair and she spotted the cupcakes on the table and asked if those were from Grace! I thought that was so great! My one regret from the wedding was that I only got one little piece of cake. My plan on eating leftovers the morning after was ruined after my new husband sat on the box full of cake on the ride home from the wedding and ruined it all!! Use Cakes by Grace, you'll love her and the cakes!

    When having some troubles finding a good cake, our DJ recommended his personal favorite and we met with Grace. (love her!) On short notice, she put together a tasting for us and completely won us over. The passion for her work, and the quality of her on-hand samples really surprised us. Within moments, we had effectively communicated our preferred style, and Grace was able to build and expand to design our perfect cake. The mother-daughter team worked really well together to meet our needs. Sweet, light, moist and rich. Everything you are looking for in a cake. We even used them to make a surprise anniversary cake for my sister at the rehearsal dinner. Everyone spent the night complimenting the cake, and drooling over getting another one the following day.

    BEST WEDDING CAKE EVER! I cannot say enough about Grace and Elizabeth! Their cakes are wonderful tasting and beautiful! Grace helped with so much more than her job description she guided me through so much of the tangle of wedding planning in a destination spot and connected me with wonderful people. When my caterer stressed me out she talked me down and really for a lady who is too busy to breathe she always made time for me. Her cupcakes are amazing too and if you need gluten free they have you covered there too. Nothing these two ladies cannot accomplish and with professionalism and passion for what they do. I would not recommend anyone as a plan B! If they cant make your date then change your date!!! :)

    All i can say is AMAZING! I had the opportunity to taste test some the their cakes during a trip my then fiancé and I won thru the South Lake Tahoe Visitors Bureau and again at a friends wedding later that year. We absolutely fell in love with the lemon cake but there wasn't a single flavor we tried that we didn't like. Our cake was simple but gorgeous

    Grace was amazing! When we went for our tasting she had everything set up and we were able to try everything you could think of! Had great photo albums of all her cakes to give ideas of cakes and things she has done! Very easy to work with! We did cupcakes with and 8in cake for us to cut! Sooo good and even a week later still good to eat!! Thanks Grace!

    My kids are Gluten Free, and wanted this at their wedding. We did gluten free cupcakes that were out of this world. None of our 100 guests even suspected that they were gluten free.
    The most moist, flavorful, cupcakes ever!

    Grace and her group were absolutely wonderful. The cake was an amazing almond white cake with cream cheese frosting and a white chocolate ganash with raspberry filling. Was the absolute hit of the wedding! I cannot thank her enough for all of her help and support to make this a wonderful addition!

    We used Tahoe Cakes by Grace for our wedding and groom's cakes. I live in Dallas, TX and was traveling to Tahoe for the wedding, and Grace and her team were wonderful about getting everything set up over the phone and via email. I wanted a very simple cake and we had a relatively small budget and she was able to give us exactly what we wanted. Also, I called and added a surprise groom's cake for my husband about a month before the wedding and she was so accommodating! The cakes both turned out beautifully, and tasted AMAZING! The groom's cake was Crown Royal flavored with a cream cheese icing and everyone thought that was so cool and very tasty. I HIGHLY recommend Grace for any cake needs!

    Love, love, loved our cake and so did ALL of our guests! I had friends wanting to visit her bakery for more after the wedding! Grace and her daughter Elizabeth created the most breathtakingly beautiful and elegant cake for us. Cake tasting with Grace was so much fun as well, it was truly a hard decision picking a flavor for our cake because everything was so delicious!

    Our cake was to die for! The flavors were vanilla bean with buttercream and also an almond cake with Italian buttercream. I've never been to a wedding where I have liked their cake it's always too dry and lacking in flavor. Our cake was a hit. It was moist and booming with flavor. It's been two months since our wedding and we still have our friends and family telling us they have cravings for our cake. Grace we can't thank you enough for your hard work that you put into making our cake both beautiful and delicious. We had a destination wedding and Grace was so nice and accommodating to us. We would email her with questions and her response time was very quick. If you are getting married in South Lake Tahoe the easiest decision would be to choose Cakes by Grace as your wedding cake vendor.

    All I can say about Grace's cakes are WOW! They are absolutely amazing! We had the pleasure of working with Grace for our wedding desserts and cake. We had a dessert bar with different cookies, chocolate covered strawberries, mini cupcakes, a marvelous grooms cake, and carrot cake for our wedding cake. That cake was so amazing I wish I could have had more to take home, but everyone ate it all! Her work is absolutely amazing . You must stop by her shop and try some of her delicious treats. You won't regret it!

    I went with Cakes by Grace just based off of her Yelp reviews. I am so glad I did! I live in the bay area & was unable to do a cake testing appointment. I corresponded with her over the phone and through e-mail and showed her a picture of the type of cake I wanted. When I was in Tahoe to meet with my wedding coordinator about a month before the wedding we called Grace and she was able to accommodate us for a tasting at the last minute! Literally the BEST cake I have ever tasted! My wedding cake cake turned out perfect and my guests still comment on how delicious it was!

    Bit of a delayed review here, but we were married in July 2013 on Lake Tahoe, almost 2 years ago and I need to tell you that people STILL bring up that your cake was the best they have ever had! You all were fantastic to work with and the cake look/presentation was perfect, but my husband and I still reminisce occasionally on THAT TASTE - OMG... someone brought back some to freeze for our 1 year anniversary; there was no way we could wait, we devoured it the day we returned home! We had 3 cake flavors, Kahlua, champagne & amaretto and we still debate and go back and forth about how we would rank them. We are planning a trip back to Tahoe this July to celebrate our 2 year anniversary, and a handful of family & friends are joining us for a lovely reunion, without the craziness of a wedding this time. In chatting about what we would do on our trip this year, we agreed that we needed to try to get another cake from you, to share with our family (or maybe not share- HA!). Thanks again, Grace, for a most delicious creation, that is a highlight of our wedding memories!

    Grace was incredibly down to earth, friendly, and best of all makes delicious cakes and goodies. She was so generous in having us try all sorts of things in her bakery when we were there for the cake tasting. We paid in full that day at the tasting -- she was so appreciative -- cake was delivered to my reception venue and set up beautifully. She even left a box with the reception venue to put the top portion of the cake in. :) A sweet lady -- delicious cake -- we did red velvet with cream cheese icing. :)
