  Beautiful and excellent taste

  The cake was beautiful and elegant. We ordered 3 tiers. First tier was red velvet, second was vanilla and third was chocolate. All three was delicious. Highly recommend.

  Stunning and Delicious Cake

  Cameron was an absolute joy to work with from the very beginning. At the first cake tasting we explained our vision for our wedding cake and he delivered! We were actually invited back for a second tasting to decide on the final cake flavor, chocolate cake with vanilla bourbon butter cream. This cake was not only delicious but also stunning to look at. We cannot recommend Tinkers enough!

  Perfect, delicious, amazing price

  You get to taste before you buy! The samples are amazing and make it hard to decide which to choose. They didn't charge for delivery because we were within lexington at Talon winery and cake stand rental was included. Another bakery I was quoted $90 just to have them deliver because my wedding was on a Sunday. Not only that but once we got home and opened our card box they had put in a gift card for an 6" anniversary cake in a year which was awesome because now that means I get to go chow down on the delicious top I saved back thinking I was supposed to save it lol. We chose Italian cream cake, strawberries and cream and vanilla bean and everyone loved them. We did a naked cake which has less frosting but it was still the perfect amount no one could tell. Super sweet cake and a great deal, to feed I believe 75 people it was $300. We ended up only having 55-60 ppl so it worked out.

  My cake matched the picture

  Because of covid we had to downsize our reception and therefore our cake. Tinker's had no problem doing this. They were up front about costs as well. The cake turned out great and was really tasty too. The buttercream icing was very light.

  wonderful!

  Thankful for this experience, my husband and I were both pretty laid back about our cake and didn’t give super specific instructions, so I left it in his hands. The cake exceeded our expectations both aesthetically and in taste! I’m so glad we went with Tinkers, he made the day stress free in that department.

  Delicious and Beautiful

  Delicious cake - not a crumb left on the tables! we had a multi-tiered cake, with each tier a different flavor. Cake was simple but elegant. The tasting was excellent - so hard to choose. Tinker's can make your vision a reality.

  Beautiful work, delicious cake

  Cameron worked with me over email for six months before my wedding to make sure I had my cake - he was amazing! Not only was my cake beautiful, it was delicious. We ate the ENTIRE thing and I can't wait to go back to Kentucky and get my anniversary cake with them.

  Best wedding cake vendor!

  Tinkers was the absolute best choice for our wedding cake. They were open to our design suggestions and thoughts. Also their flavors are unbeatable. My cousin had a birthday the same day as our wedding day and Tinkers was able to accommodate making an additional birthday cake for her that we had as a surprise at the reception. They were great with design, flavors, price, everything! Top choice for wedding cake vendor.

  My Perfect Wedding Cake!

  I am so glad that my husband and I used Tinker's for our wedding cake. We went in to sample the flavors and loved all of them. Ultimately, we chose chocolate champagne, tiramisu, and carrot cake. Their carrot cake is AMAZING! I came in with an idea in mind for what I wanted the cake to look like, and Tinker's made my idea come to life. It was so incredibly beautiful. The best part about Tinker's is that they will make you a fresh top layer of your cake for your one year anniversary, so you don't have to eat year-old frozen cake.

  Delicious and Delightful

  We went for a cake tasting and loved the flavors. Loved the Scraped Cake look, and not a big fan of fondant. They made the perfect cake, and were more in line with our budget than the other bakers in the area. We also got a groom’s cake for the rehearsal dinner with a Chicago Bears logo. Looked and tasted great. Reliable delivery and creative designs. A true artist and baker combined. Also includes a first anniversary cake!

  Wedding Cake

  LOVED our wedding cake. Tasted amazing, and was just beautiful. You can't go wrong with Tinkers. The tasting was a fun experience, and you get a surprise drawing/prototype of your cake. I'm framing it!

  We met with Cameron almost a year before our wedding to select our cakes. We had no worries about how it would turn out. He made the head of our dog from icing and had it poking out from under our main cake. Too cute! And the grooms cake was a replica of my husband’s racing airplane. Our guests loved the inventive design and the fabulous flavors!

  Tinker's designed and made our wedding cake for our wedding day this past December 30, 2017 and I cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience with Cameron and Tinker's Cake Shop. Our cake was flawless! We received so many compliments about the design and don't even get me started on the flavor of cake and the buttercream frosting! It was absolutely delicious and our guests raved about the flavors. We selected dark chocolate champagne, vanilla bean, red velvet, lemon with cream cheese, and strawberries and cream! YUM! Cameron was consistently professional and very thorough/timely with all of his communication. Our tasting was enjoyable and when we sent him a picture of the type of design we wanted, he completely blew our expectations out of the water.
  
  The cake was delivered with plenty of time to spare on our wedding day and the fresh flowers and cake topper that were left to go on the cake were placed perfectly. In addition to a perfect wedding cake, Cameron also made 4 additional gluten-free cupcakes to meet the dietary needs of two our guests. He was so gracious about doing this and both guests raved about the fact that they were actually able to have delicious wedding cake with everyone else! Tinker's is a wonderful cake shop! I can't wait to get our one-year anniversary cake this year!

  Cameron was a great vendor to work with. He did exactly what my daughter wanted. He adjusted our cake size as we needed- the cake was beautiful and tasty. All around this was a great experience!

  The best way to describe everything about Tinkers Cakeshop is "WOW!" I met with Cameron five months before our wedding for a tasting. I thought I wanted traditional buttercream frosting with vanilla cake. When my Mama and I went to his shop, he had eight or so different flavors for us to try. I couldn't pick just one! He told me he could incorporate a couple of different flavors, and I ended up choosing four.
  
  Cameron designed the most perfect cake. We did not know exactly what we wanted the cake to look like. However, as we had our first meeting my mind was racing with ideas due to his assistance and extensive knowledge base. He created a very elegant, and incredibly tasty!, wedding cake that was perfect.
  
  I wanted to surprise my groom with a special Groom's Cake, but didn't know exactly where to begin. The groom has a lot of hobbies, but not one that stands out more than the other. Cameron and I started talking, and I shared with him the groom's favorite sports teams, city, hobbies, and the type of future dog we want to have together, and he designed the most perfect cake. My groom was over the moon when he saw it.
  
  Highly recommend!!
