Cakes by Dea and More

We have used Dea twice now — for our wedding at Boulder Ridge (her cakes come with the package — do the tasting!!!) and then for my baby shower. Both cakes were insanely delicious and moist. She has many options to chose from, so if you can do a tasting, DO IT :)
Her prices cannot be beat and she is very easy to work with. She is a little old school and most communication is done through a telephone call or in person. On her website it says you can email her, but I could never find an email address.
If you are ordering a wedding cake, it will be delivered for you, but if you are getting a specialty cake, you will have to pick it up.
For our wedding cake, we went with a design that was in her collection and then just changed some colors. She was very specific when it came to what kind of lavender we wanted so we weren’t disappointed. For the shower cake, we simply sent her a pic of what we would like it to resemble. It wasn’t exactly how the picture was, but it was not a big deal, it was still adorable and our guests loved the cake. She had pointed out that it would not look identical, so we were not caught off guard.

We’ve used Dea for our wedding, and our daughter’s first and second birthday. She has NEVER been rude and quite frankly has gone out of her way at times to meet our requests. I have a black german shepherd whom was part of our wedding and we wanted on the cake, she painted a german shepherd (couldn’t find an all black one) for us to put on the cake. Her cakes are delicious, and she does an amazing job with decorating despite not using fondant (which I am thankful for). Her prices are very reasonable. Will be using her again for our daughter’s 3^rd birthday.

Beautifully delicious!
I highly recommend Cakes by Dea – she’s talented, professional, and delivers exactly what you want. Thanks Dea!!!

dea made my wedding cake for my wedding last summer and she was awesome. I told her when we set up the tasting my wedding colors were pink and orange and I wanted a pink and orange cake so I didn’t need to sample any chocolate or any flavor that didn’t revolve around my colors. she did a fantastic job. all the wedding guests loved the cake! she made a few flavors for me to taste and I couldn’t decide so I had a large 3 tier cake and two additional sheet cakes (under my original cake budget btw) all different flavors. it was perfect, she delivered the cakes for me on time and set them up for me with the help of my mom =] beautiful and tasty. I decided to write the review now because my one year wedding anniversary is this weekend and I dug the top of the cake for us to eat out of the freezer yesterday. yummy!

Our cake was wonderful, and Dea was able to utilize our ideas and custom graphics perfectly. I couldn’t recommend her more for her professional attitude and beautiful cakes!

We used Dea for our wedding and had great service and a great cake. She works out of her home.
She was very easy to work with and her prices are quite cheap. We chose 2 layers of chocolate and raspberry filling and 1 layer or carrot cake with cream cheese filling. SO good!
We referred at least 2 or 3 friends here for their wedding cakes and all of them were pleased with their cake and working with her.

I had two really good cakes by Dea. Granted, she did not follow my instruction on the second cake. It was a full sheet half chocolate and vanilla with two different fillings. She had the same filling on both sides, which actually worked out fine. The flavor of the cakes are really good. The whipped cream stood up to the heat outside on a really hot day.

I Called Dea to get some information about having her bake my
wedding cake for me. She came recommended, so she was top
on my list. I told her this. Well, let me warn you… stay away!
First, I checked out her website to gather some information before calling. She said on her website, that if she is busy, she may have to call you back, etc. Seems reasonable. So when I called her I started with…“this is so and so, and I’m calling regarding wedding cake… is
this a good time?” She said she wanted to call me back. I said. Ok,
yet, she continued on with when and where was my wedding, etc… Then… she became so rude to me on the phone I couldn’t even believe
it. She told me she wouldn’t deliver as far as I was even though her website states she will deliver w/​in 30 miles for orders over $ 100 (my cake would have been more money than that!). I asked «could I have someone pick the cake up». She was so mean when answering me I was just appalled. Ok-​so she proably is right — it may not be a great idea to have a non-​professional pick up my wedding cake, but there are
nicer ways to say it. Then– I offered to pay her extra to deliver it (remember, she came highly recommended — she was my number
one choice). Then she started yelling at me that she didn’t have time to deal with me and my wedding is so far away (mile wise), and there are other people she already has to deal with that weekend. etc. I hung up. Then… I called back. I map-​quested the place to where the cake would be delivered and it was less than 30 miles away — so I called
her out on it. She said «well — then I guess I’m going to have to take
that off the website then.» She continued with «I already told you no, so I don’t know why you are calling me again!!» Clearly, she was too busy and didn’t care enough to earn a new client. I told her that it must be
nice to have a business so booming that 6 months in advance you are already so busy that you can just be downright rude and mean to
people who have told you they really wanted to use you. She said she wasn’t rude. My thought process, however, is that all she had to say was «I’m so sorry, but I’m already booked up that weekend!» …that
would have been the end of it. I would have gone elsewhere. Instead, she decided to be awful and rude on the phone to me. I would never
use her for anything. I do not recommend this business at all! Stay Away!!!
