Lindsay did our wedding cake, and also a basque cheesecake for the grooms cake. They were beautiful and delicious! She is wonderful to work with! She is very communicative, friendly, and accommodating. I sent her our color palette, a few different cake pictures, and a picture of my bouquet. She did an excellent job. I didn't have an exact image of what I wanted it look like, and I'm glad I trusted her. Lindsay, thank you again!

I ordered a cake from Lindsay for my niece's shower. My niece was very specific on what she wanted. She wanted a carrot cake without the raisins or nuts with buttercream icing. The cake Lindsay made was the best carrot cake we have ever eaten. The cake was beautifully presented and delivered to our home in perfect condition on time. I cannot say enough about the cake Lindsay made for us. If anyone needs a cake for a special occasion, I suggest they call Lindsay Baked. You will not be disappointed.

I recently ordered a cake from Lindsay Mae’s Cakery for my daughter’s birthday, and it was absolutely perfect! We requested a red, white, blue and disco cowgirl theme with a combination of chocolate and vanilla flavors, and she truly delivered. The cake not only looked stunning with vibrant colors, but it also tasted incredible! Both the chocolate and vanilla layers were moist and flavorful, with just the right balance of sweetness. Everyone at the party couldn’t stop talking about how delicious it was, and my daughter was thrilled with how beautiful it looked. Lindsay was also a pleasure to work with—so professional and attentive to detail. I highly recommend her for any special occasion. We will definitely be coming back for more special cakes in the future!

I was completely blown away by the level of detail, creativity and quality put into the cakes Lindsay made for my daughter’s birthdays. Not only are the cakes BEAUTIFUL but they are so flavorful and moist too! They are a true showstopper!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing for cakes is typically done by the cost per slice, whereas some desserts have a flat rate, such as a 6" cake. This allows me to pay for all the top-quality ingredients to give you the best dessert possible. I charge a delivery fee outside of the Austin area.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When working with a new client, I like to chat with them a little and get to know who the dessert is for and find out their likes, dislikes, and flavor preferences, and tap into their playful side.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a classically trained Pastry Chef, with 19 years in the restaurant industry. I've been running bakeries for 16 years and enjoy the bright outlet of cake-making for all types of clientele!
