Patty's cakes made the cake for our wedding!!! We hadn't heard of Patty's Cakes before but we were referred to them by our venue and oh boy am I glad we used them. Our wedding was a bit of a challenge because we had a lot of guests with dietary restrictions. I myself have Celiac, while my wife does not and they were more than happy to accommodate us. First though, I want to describe the tasting experience. They brought out gluten free cupcakes and gave us tastings of all the different possible combinations, to find the perfect match. It was a LOT of fun. They also had a book with all the different ways they could finish our cake and give it the look we wanted. Initially we were going to make the whole cake gluten-free, because I was worried that was the only way to keep the cake safe for me and the other 5 guests that all had Celiac. Ultimately however we found that the gluten free cake couldn't structurally support a cake of the size we needed, so we decided to make only the top gluten-free. They handled it with such care though, none of us had any reaction whatsoever. I don't even understand how that's possible! I guess they were just really careful! The cake was DELICIOUS! The cake itself was rich and moist, while the frosting was unbelievably light and airy. It's almost more like a whipped cream in terms of density than a traditional frosting. This was absolutely perfect for a wedding! It wasn't as heavy as other cakes I have had before. We also got a great arrangement of cookies and cupcakes, including vegan cupcakes for our guests that were vegan. Oh and the kicker? Instead of having to freeze the top layer to eat a year later, which is apparently tradition. We didn't have to worry about that because they included a free cake one year from our wedding! What other bakery have you heard of that does something like that!?!? This is such a great idea!! I could not be happier with how this all turned out. Thank you Patty's Cakes!!!

The staff was extremely helpful; pulled out the ingredients list to verify my allergies. Delicious AND gluten free. You have to get the flight if you are dairy and gluten free; they had four flavors I could choose from, 4!!! So the flight it was and my husband got the waffle cone because we could have that too. Must get flavor….Bee’s Knees, top 3 ice cream flavors I have ever had. This will be a repeat everytime we come to Monterey

Being gluten free, desserts are always a challenge. This was the best GF chocolate chip cookie and GF ice cream I've ever had. They had so many choices too!
