We hired Alani Bakery for our wedding cake and gluten-free cupcakes, and they exceeded every expectation.
Our two-tier cake (lemon with jam filling and carrot cake with cream cheese frosting) was not only beautifully designed with a mountain theme, but it was truly the best cake I’ve ever had. The frosting deserves special mention. I’m not a fan of overly sugary icing, and this was the complete opposite. It was incredibly smooth, perfectly balanced, and not too sweet. I ate every bit of it!
The chocolate gluten-free cupcakes with ganache were also a huge hit. Guests (both GF and non-GF!) said they were the most moist and delicious cupcakes they’d ever had.
Delivery was smooth, on time and everything arrived in perfect condition.
We are so grateful we chose Alani Bakery. Highly recommend!

We found them about a week before our wedding and not only were they able to work us in, but they absolutely nailed not only the design, but the flavors as well! They were punctual, worked with our event coordinator, and even had solutions for us when we forgot the cake pop holders. Not only do I plan on using them for all my major events in the future, but I would recommend them to everyone I know that is planning a wedding!

I cannot say enough nice things about Alani Bakery! Taysia did my husband and my wedding cake this last June. I was so impressed! Not only did she provide quick responses, but she ...
created the wedding cake of my dreams. Anyone who has planned a wedding knows the cake is one of the most important aspects. The cake not only looked amazing, but was honestly the best cake I have ever had! The brownies and cookies were also so amazing! I got so many compliments at my wedding and everyone was asking who our dessert vendor was. I would highly recommend Alani bakery for anyone needing a dessert vendor for their wedding or any event!

There is so much to say about Alani Bakery! Taysia has been baking for my family for years, holidays, birthdays, family events, etc. So when i was planning my wedding i knew i had ...
to get that on lock as soon as i had the date! Alani bakery has cake samplers which are amazing if you want to try different flavors combinations! she is so understanding and considerate. There was a last minute switch up and i had to change the date to a month later. She pulled some strings and made it work! I went with a classic look in my opinion but the flavors was anything but simple. i had a 3 tier cake, with different flavors on each tier. it was incredible not only to see her bring my vision of my dream wedding cake to life but to enjoy it was something else entirely. 3 months later i still have guest commenting about the cake. as for creativity she has it all, with other events i give very few details and let her do her thing with decorating and it comes out beautifully everytime. I would 10/10 recommend Alani bakery for any event.
