She is amazingly talented. She made us the most gorgeous cake I have ever seen. It was extremely over top but elegant at the same time. Sometimes hard to do!!!!! If you would like to see pictures of the cake, please send me a message directly but after seeing this, I can without of doubt say that she and her team are more than capable of making any type of cake you ask for. And the best part, it was delicious!!! We had pistachio and almond cake, it was so one of kind, I loved it!! And it was nice to have two different flavors. You will not go wrong by picking Amy Beck as your baker. You will absolutely love her work and enjoy her cake.

We used Amy Beck for my sister's wedding and then again for my wedding last week. We had two completely different looking cake designs, and both turned out beautifully! Amy was a pleasure to work with from day 1 and clearly understood and executed both of our visions with 100% accuracy. Not only did the cakes look great, but they tasted by far better than any wedding cake I have had and also on par with cakes you would buy fresh that day from any good bakery. In fact, I would say it's better than any bakery because her flavor choices in cake and frosting were so different and each so good, it was very hard to choose what we wanted! We ended up doing alternating layers of a chocolate bourbon cake with peanut butter frosting and carrot cake with cinnamon ginger cream cheese frosting, both were amazing! We also had to use fondant on our cake, at first we tried to avoid using fondant as we have tasted fondant at other weddings and hated it, but Amy's fondant was definitely a pleasant surprise and we had no problem using it to get the look we envisioned. We received more compliments than we could count about the look and taste of our cake, and we couldn't be happier.Amy's quick communication, honesty, and ability to grasp what we wanted was absolutely flawless. I would highly recommend using Amy Beck.

Amy Beck Cake Design provided us with a delicious and beautiful wedding cake, plus a smaller version of the wedding cake (1 tier, decorated like the cake) in a gluten free version. I, the bride, and some of my wedding guests unfortunately have to eat gluten free, but we weren't missing out on anything by eating Amy's delicious cake!!! The groom gives major thumbs up for the regular cake, and I can vouch for the amazing work she does for gluten free cakes!! Thanks to Amy Beck and associates!

Cake is great, she is very helpful with tastings, and the price is fair. She was even able to add more cupcakes to our order a week before the wedding, although we ended up not needing to, she said it wouldn't be a problem if we did. All in all Amy was great to work with, the cake set up was beautiful, and the cupcakes were delish!

I went to the cake tasting with my daughters -- and we choose the Chocolate Bourbon with raspberry, the middle was lemon with raspberry and the top was carrot cake with cream cheese -- WONDERFUL. We had a Chicago themed wedding - and of course, wanted a Chicago themed cake. Then to complicate matters, I choose not to have a groom's cake but an unusual cake topper - a truck! I took photos of my fiancé’s truck (his pride & joy that he built). Amy replicated the truck & logos to the tee! She even asked for a photo of us both and she did our heads popping out the truck windows -- it was better than I imagined and OMG -- did Amy deliver. I would love to post a photo of this cake that Amy did -- unbelievable. I was hoping Jim would love it -- and he did. We had the ceremony on the Kanan and before the ceremony he went to take a look at the cake -- he was totally blown away. He was calling everyone over to look at it -- and then when he was called to go upstairs for the ceremony -- he kept saying "come here you have to see this cake -- it's unbelievable!" Not only was the cake fabulous -- it tasted great as well. I've had wedding cakes before that were not meant for human consumption -- and this was delicious!! Received so many compliments not only on the design but the cake itself! Thank you Amy!! You definitely out did yourself on our cake. I cannot even thank you enough -- and if I could rate you higher than 5 stars -- I would. (P.S. My daughters were blown away as well). THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!

My husband and I had such an amazing experience with Amy Beck from the beginning. She was great and responsive from the first time we spoke via email. She was by far the easiest vendor I had to work with. We met with her to discuss wedding cakes, cupcakes and to have a tasting. Everything at the tasting was so delicious, it was hard to choose. Amy even made up a couple more samples of frosting for us to taste, when we asked for a couple different flavors. She was so helpful when we were choosing pairings of flavors for the cupcakes. We ended up with Red Velvet, Passion Fruit and Chocolate Bourbon. Amy was able to make all the different flavored frostings look the same, so the cupcakes would all match. And created different shades of pink candy flowers to go with my wedding colors.The day of our wedding, the cake and cupcakes were beautiful! The cake was amazing! And all the cupcakes were so delicious! We received so many compliments on both the designs, they were gorgeous with little pink candy flowers on them and the flavors!We were so pleased with everything from Amy and so happy that we chose her for our wedding cake and cupcakes! I'd recommend her to anyone I know for cakes and cupcakes!

Being that I am a cake connoisseur, well, at least I think of myself as one, I was very involved in picking out my cake for my wedding day. I went to 6 different bakeries to taste cake! (The best part about planning a wedding!) Amy Beck Cake Design was our last tasting, and we were floored with the deliciousness of the cake. We tried all sorts of cake flavors and frostings; Amy Beck was there with us along the way informing us of various flavor combination's. She was very helpful, nice and down to earth and super easy to work with. We decided on the Devil's Food Cake with Creme Cheese Filling and Chocolate Ganache frosting...decadent! It turned out absolutely beautiful and tasted amazing. Guests couldn't stop talking about the cake and even months after the wedding I still hear how wonderful the cake was!She also did a fabulous cake for one of my friend's son's 1st birthday party. I can't wait to use her again.

I had Amy and her team create a grooms cake for my now hubby. He is a Blackhawk Pilot and the cake she had made was absolutely fantastic! I highly recommend Amy Beck Cake Design! The tasting was so yummy, there were so many flavors to choose from but with out a doubt when she presented her passion fruit sample, hands down, EVERYONE was hooked!She was friendly, accommodating, creative and has a wonderful staff! I live in Hawaii so we corresponded mostly through e-mails and she was always there to answer questions or any concerns I had. I Loved her!

The Cake Amy Beck designed for our wedding was beautiful and delicious! Her cake by far blew the other bakeries that we tried out of the water and it was the same price! We had so much fun watching her creativity flow! I'm so happy we chose Amy Beck Cake Design!

Amy Beck Cake Design was so fun and easy to work with. Amy was really flexible when scheduling our tasting and initial consultation and really worked with us to clearly understand what we wanted. The top tier of the cake was Gluten Free, half chocolate, half vanilla with a mint chocolate chip filling, this tier was so good, you would never know it was Gluten Free. The other tiers where chocolate with a chocolate filling, almond with a raspberry filling and pumpkin with a cream cheese filling, perfect for an October wedding. I was disappointed at the end of the night when there was no cake left only to discover it was because our guests were asking for seconds and thirds of the cake, unheard of for wedding cakes! We hope to be able to order a cake similar to our wedding cake for our one year anniversary!

I am vegan and I wanted to do a small vegan cake in addtion to our normal cake. Bleeding Heart Bakery was too expensive so I began emailing other bakeries to see if they could do a vegan cake. All said no except Amy Beck! Amy Beck told us they had never tried a vegan cake before, but you could not tell. It was some of the best cake I ever tasted!!!!!!!! It was the one thinkg I made sure I ate at our wedding. And the design was amazing!!! Amy and her crew are so talented not to mention just delightful to work with!!!!!

Amy Beck did an absolutely amazing job on our wedding cake and I would recommend her to anyone! We went to three different bakeries for tastings and by far, her cake was the best tasting. She looked at the pictures we brought in, the invitations and the color swatch for the bridesmaid dresses and immediately started sketching out an idea. I loved this, it wasn't like the other places we went where we could only choose a pre-set design out of a book. The day of the wedding, I had so many people come up to us and rave about the cake. Most of them saying they went back for more so they could try all the different flavors (we had three different kinds). My expectations were completely blown away and we really could not have asked for anything more. Amy was incredibily nice to work with, the cake looked fantastic and tasted even better.

Amy Beck was AMAZING. I really appreciated that every time I called or stopped by, I interacted directly with Amy, not another employee. Her cake for us was an artistic masterpiece. It completely exceeded my expectations. It was absolutely the showstopper centerpiece of our reception. I think that it has been tagged on facebook in my wedding photos by our guests more than I have! You are missing out if you don't use Amy Beck for your wedding cake.

Our wedding photographer took about as many pictures of our amazing Amy Beck cake as she did of us! And they're some of our favorite photos from the wedding. We had heard great things (many good reviews on Yelp!), and were not at all dissapointed. When we met Amy, we had some very vague ideas about what we wanted: square; three layers; blue flowers; not over-the-top. Amy listened intently and then started sketching right away in front of us. She's a pro. She's inspired. It was for us. She didn't even need an eraser - we loved it (and my wife and I are extremely picky people). Then we got to taste some VERY delicious cake and fillings, which was a much more difficult process, because we loved a lot of them. We settled on a different flavor for each layer: pistachio with raspberry, red velvet with cream cheese, and chocolate with chocolate butter cream. Yum!

Amy was great to work with. I told her what I wanted for my cake design, and on the day of my wedding, it was exactly what I had envisioned. The cake itself was DELICIOUS. I had several guests tell me it was the best wedding cake they had ever eaten. Having a beautiful AND tasty wedding cake is hard to find, but Amy Beck did an amazing job. I'd recommend her to any bride!

After hearing Amy Beck's name several times throughout the wedding planning process, my fiance and I decided to arrange a consultation with her for our wedding cupcakes. Not only were we blown away by all the delicious cake flavors we tasted, but we were also blown away by Amy's incredible creativity! Inspired by our invitations, she created the most beautiful replica for our top tier, along with a tower of equally beautiful cupcakes, which our guests RAVED about all night (and even after the wedding!). We absolutely could not be happier with the end result, and we would recommend Amy Beck to any bride in a heartbeat!

I recommend Amy Beck for your wedding without any reservations! She was extremely flexible and accomodating with tasting appointments, which was very important to me as my work schedule can stay pretty crazy and unpredictable. Her cakes actually tasted amazing...not just good for a wedding cake, but Amazing for cakes in general. And, they were beautiful, creative, and perfectly executed! I had guests all night tell me not only that the cakes were lovely, but that they were the absolute best wedding cake they have ever had. The only negative thing I can say is that there was not much left over for me to enjoy!!

I absolutely loved my wedding cakes! I saw Amy at a bridal show and out of all the cakes I saw and tasted, hers drew me in immediately. The cake on display was so me. We made an appointment for taste testing--everything was wonderful! We tweaked the cake we saw a bit and we added a groom's cake that looked like a mummy (we had a Halloween wedding). Everything was so tasty and beautiful and we had so many wonderful compliments from our guests! I am very happy that we chose Amy to help make our day so special!
