The flavors, design...she absolutely nailed it!
Since we don’t live in Charlottesville, we knew we wanted to find someone local for our wedding cake and came across Uncommon Cakes through a recommendation. We are so happy we did! She was so sweet from the very beginning and went above and beyond for our tasting, baking us EIGHT different flavor options when we only asked for six! The brown butter bourbon peach was out of this world and we immediately knew we had to have it. For an August wedding, we also couldn’t resist the lemon blueberry, so those were our two winners. I gave her creative freedom with the design of our cutting cake and all I can say is WOW. She absolutely nailed it. Not only were the flavors incredible, but the cake itself was more beautiful than I could have imagined. So grateful we found her!

Amazing Cakes & Even More Amazing Experience!!
I am so grateful that my husband, Zach, and I discovered Uncommon Cakes at the LGBTQ Wedding Vendor Expo and were able to book them for our wedding! There is such a variety of unique flavors and after our tasting, we decided on mini cupcakes, cheesecake parfaits, a single tier cake and a baked cheesecake. Amanda does an amazing job at communicating, as well as making ideas come to life!! Everything was delicious and decorated beautifully, however the full cheesecake might have been the best dessert out of everything we tried! The reception was very quick but we sat down at the end of the night and ate cheesecake together. It was a lovely moment for just us to share.

Gluten Free Wedding Cake
From our first conversation with Amanda at Uncommon Cakes, we knew we had found the right baker. She responded quickly to all our questions and took the time to walk us through sizing options to find the perfect fit for our wedding. During the tasting, Amanda really went above and beyond—her gluten free cakes were moist and had the ideal texture, which honestly surprised us since we've had grainy gluten free cakes before. Our wedding cake ended up being one of the highlights of the day, and our guests couldn't stop talking about how delicious it was. We were so happy with everything that we even took the leftover cake home to enjoy later. If you're looking for a baker who cares about getting things right, Amanda is your person.

The Best Gluten Free Desserts Ever!!
Not a single dessert was left after our wedding and we bought a ton of extras just in case. No one could tell they were all gluten free! As a gluten free bride it was nice to be able to try everything at my wedding. Amanda was supper accommodating to whatever amount and whatever flavor of cupcake, cookie, bar, etc. wanted at our wedding. Our wedding cake turned out exactly like we talked about and was so delicious! I can’t wait to hire her for future events! Photo credits:RickyCrystalPhotography

Amazing Cakes
My husband and I used Amanda for our cakes at our June wedding. I have Celiac Disease and Amanda was fully prepared to make all of our cakes gluten-free. All of my guests loved the cupcakes we ordered, especially the brown butter bourbon peach cupcake. She did a beautiful job and I was so happy to be able to safely enjoy all of the cupcakes at my wedding. We highly recommend Uncommon Cakes because of how easy Amanda is to communicate with, how accommodating they are, and most importantly how delicious and beautifully decorated the cakes were.
