Thank you Noble Cakery for a beautiful birthday cake! You made my vision come to life. Not only did it look stunning, it was so delicious! (My mom said it’s the best cake she’s ever had!) What a delight to have such a talented small business in Oregon.

The Noble Cakery was wonderful to work with. She helped me plan my dessert table from start to finish with a variety of desserts, quantities, cost savings, and delicious flavors. She delivers and sets up and was responsive to many questions I asked. Would recommend her to any bride and groom.

Barb was amazing to work with from meeting her at a bridal expo, scheduling our tasting, and finalizing the menu. She was helpful with all my questions and so kind. Our cake was absolutely adorable and just what I wanted, and she has a huge variety of flavors to choose from! We ordered multiple kinds of desserts for our wedding, the brownies were definitely a crowd favorite! Everything was delicious, and we couldn’t have been happier 🧁💍💕

Ordered cupcakes and smash cake for my son's first birthday party; Barb did such a wonderful job. The cupcakes were perfect, creamy, not overly frosted, moist, and not super sweet. Presentation and flexibility 10/10 Barb is great to work with we will definitely be using her for future parties.

The Noble Cakery exceeded all of our dreams and expectations. Barb went above and beyond in terms of both her communication and quality of products. I found a cake pattern I was obsessed with and she literally searched the globe for it. I would recommend her shop to every single future bride I encounter. Oh! And her macarons?! Our guests *loved them*

The best dessert caterer in Northern IL by far! Barb was so fun and easy to work with. Her quick responses and communication made all of my questions less stressful. Our desserts were the talk of our wedding! And our cake was beautiful 😍 I will be shopping the dessert case for holidays and events to come.
