Hired on Thumbtack

I was first drawn to Kate and her lovely company because I saw that she had experience at Disney and Publix bakeries-two places I just love. I quickly learned that these were just a few of the pro's to hiring her and her expertise. She was SO kind, professional and very quick to respond with any and all of my questions. She planned a private tasting for me and a few of my wedding party members. We were blown away by the light, sweet taste of her cakes and that delicious Italian meringue buttercream! She even sent us home with extra. She helped me modify a recipe of my grandmother's cake and made three different flavors for our wedding cake. She delivered it that day and it was absolutely delicious and SO LOVELY! I am very impressed with her baking skills as well as her ability to run such a great small business! I am already looking forward to having an excuse to have her create another sweet concoction for us! Thank you, Kate-you made our wedding day so special and sweet!

Kate is amazing and so are these macarons. She makes such creative flavors which I LOVE. You can see her passion in her work and they are absolutely delicious!

Kate created the best tasting, moist delicious cake for my 55th birthday. She tied in all my favorite things from Jazzercise with the logo, weights, tube, mat, etc. It was a great looking and even better tasting red velvet cake. (my favorite)

A must hire for all - Kate is a gem to work with and made the whole experience smoother than butter. I initially hired Kate to create my wedding cake, but after having one of her unique macarons, I quickly changed to hiring her for both. Trust me... her macarons are seriously the best, and everyone needs to try one! While Kate's desserts are sweet, her customer service is sweeter. We ended up having to postpone our wedding due to what's going on in the world. Kate jumped in right away and assured us everything would remain the same, and the change was no problem. When we informed her we would be having a small ceremony in the backyard instead, and would still love to hire her; she offered to deliver the sweets and helped my mother in law set up the display. Everything about this experience was above and beyond, and I can't stop bragging about who A Sweet Whim.
