I am SO glad we turned to Thumbtack for our wedding vendors, especially since ours was a destination wedding of sorts. The process was so helpful and transparent, and Lauren was very attentive and always willing to communicate with me and answer my (many) questions and messages. I loved how she provided us with many cake flavor options, and then was also patient and professional in offering her opinion in helping us decide on our flavors. She When it came to the actual cake, it looked and tasted great. We had SO many compliments and are very satisfied ourselves.

The cake was set on time. It was so delicious that all the cupcakes were gone before the party ends. We loves the flavor, we love the set, we loved everything.

Lauren, Lauren, Lauren!! My wedding cake was better than I imagined. First, I was looking for a wedding cake on thumbtack and really couldn't find what I wanted. I asked a vendor for the wedding if she knew anyone. She highly recommend Lauren. When I called Lauren, it was like talking to an old friend. She answered all of my questions and gave me suggestions from her professional point of view. When I went for my tasting I was in love. I wanted more than just a sample. The oreo cheesecake was to die for. We settled on a two teir cake for the bridal party and family. Then cucpakes for the rest of my guest. Being the control freak I am, I wanted to use gold cupcake liners I found. Lauren had no issues with me doing so. I was able to mail her those as well as my cake topper due to my schedule and the distance between us. When the items arrived Lauren make sure to let me know.
At the wedding my guest of course couldn't just take one cupcake. They took three and four. They made sure to let me know how delicious and moist the cupcakes were even a month later my family is still talking about how beautiful that cake was and how great it taste it. The best part is my family dislikes sweets but they can't stop talking about my wedding cake.
Funny situation, Lauren was one of the vendors on thumbtack I originally talked to. Lauren did a great job and really exceeded my expectations. Anytime I need a cake I know to go directly to Lauren!!!

I hired Lauren on Thumbtack to make the dessert for my daughters surprise graduation party. After our initial meeting/tasting I knew she was the one! She showed up at the venue with ample time to set up. I ordered 3 dozen cupcakes and a three layer cake. She set up and texted me pictures afterwards, since I couldn't be there at the time. I was amazed with the pictures she sent me and couldn't wait to see/taste them in person. I got to the event and the display was a show stopper! The pictures didn't do them justice and they tasted DELICIOUS!! They were almost to pretty to eat, key word being almost!
