Couture Cakes

I chose Couture Cakes after a recommendation from a reputable wedding coordinator in the Fairhope area! I could not have been more pleased! Tara the owner made the bride and groom’s cakes for my daughter’s wedding on 12/11/21 and it was just as we asked for- both gorgeous and delicious!! I am pretty skeptical of most cakes because they usually either look beautiful, but are dry and tasteless or vice versa! Tara’s cakes for the wedding were so moist and delicious. Her almond wedding cake cannot be beat by others! Thank you Tara!!! The cakes were absolutely outstanding!! Susan Wooldridge

I couldn't be happier with Tara and her team!!! My wedding was two weeks ago and not only were their cakes outstanding to look at, I was so sad when they were gone. I'm really looking forward to sharing the cake topper with my Husband at our one year. Hands down, they will have our business from now on when it comes to cakes/pastries for special events!!! Thank you so much, Couture Cakes, for making our day that much more memorable for your outstanding service and product!

VERY disappointed with the birthday cake and cupcakes I received from Couture Cakes for my daughter's birthday party the weekend before last. The cake, nor the cupcakes, looked professional...and neither tasted very good. We don't live in the area, but I will definitely be steering clear my family who does live in the area from purchasing anything from Couture Cakes.

I didn't even get to the tasting part and already hated it. I had heard from a friend and based on their stellar reviews that they would be excellent. I'm sure their cakes are wonderful, but if you want customer service this is NOT the place to go. When I called, the person was very curt and it was difficult to get information as to whether or not my date (11 months out) was available. I was told that May, June, and July were starting to fill up and that I needed to make my decision fast. My fiance works full time out of town (4+ hours away) and I normally live out of town (3 hours away), so coming in on a Tuesday for a cake tasting together is almost impossible for us. I asked if there was any way we could possibly work around this. I understand it's policy, but how difficult would it be a bit more accommodating by using email, scanning pictures, phone conversations, allowing a relative or MOH to come in, etc, for a consultation on those days? She begrudgingly set up an appointment for me. No questions about the size of our wedding, when it was, where it was, or what flavors I had in mind. I called other bakers around town and even though they were busy, they still were incredibly accommodating, even though they all pretty much have the same policies as no tastings on the weekends. I was really shocked at the way I was treated, so I called back to Couture Cakes to ask for the owner, since judging by the rudeness I assumed it was an underpaid receptionist. She had the audacity to argue with me, saying that she was not rude and that she remembered speaking with me. She became incredibly defensive, saying that she was not curt in anyway and that I was wrong. She finally apologized, and when I said thank you and that I still wanted to conduct business with her, she just said with utmost attitude "well then, do you even want to come in then?" WHAT EVEN!? I felt like I was in the twilight zone and was sent back to some sort of high school drama. This is the type of business that gives women owners a bad name! I am so disappointed because I was looking forward to using them for our large wedding regardless of the tasting. If this is the way their business is conducted I do not foresee this business lasting much longer. DO NOT GO HERE! Just because she did AJ McCarron's engagement cake doesn't give her the right to conduct poor business. Please, do yourself a favor and go elsewhere. When you're in the throws of wedding planning the last thing you want to deal with is awful customer service.
