Bakey Bakes owner Larissa is a kitchen goddess that walks among us mere mortals. I have the hugest sweet tooth and have tried several cakes, cookies, goodies in my life. From homemade to $$$$ cakes, I’ve tried them all. Larissa has some kind of witchery that she brings out in her process as I have never had a more delicious experience with cakes, cookies, and more. Her beautiful Portuguese heritage brings a little extra something to Atlanta that I don’t believe you can really find anywhere other than her magic cottage. She is very upfront about her, her process, and everything in between and yet she still spends her precious time making such delicious treats for us Atliens. If you get the chance to try ANY of her goodies, I suggest snagging it quick. Because I’ll beat you to it I promise you - they’re THAT good. 😂

Delicious and gorgeous cake designs! She was quick to respond and the cake was exactly what I was looking for. Updating this to add how AMAZING Larissa's cookies are!! I ordered two dozen (for just me, ha) and froze a bunch to eat on. I still ate them all in two weeks because they were irresistible!

Truly the best cakes and cookies you will ever have. Bakey Bakes' treats are rich in flavor and artistic by nature. Definitely try the matcha cookies and the Portuguese Birthday cake! This baker is high in demand, though. Check her site for order request instructions, since it can take a few months before you get on the books. Hot tip = cookies are easier to snag than cakes!

Larissa, the owner of Bakey Bakes is a magician. Her cakes are always so beautifully designed and meticulously done, the attention to detail and care she puts into her work is really unparalleled. Her collaboration process for a custom cake design is very thoughtful, organized, and professional. She's very communicative so you always know what to expect and when to expect it. Working with her is like working with an artist, by providing her with good creative direction, you can trust that she'll create something not only on brief, but beyond your wildest imagination. The flavors she has curated for both her cakes and cookies are such a delight (definitely don't sleep on the cookies, they might look unassuming but they're incredible). For the custom cakes, you're able to pick and choose the flavor combination you desired, but she is also great at helping guide you on what will work well together based on your preference. I also really love how she brings a taste of Portugal to her bakes! You can score some amazing treats from her via flash sales on her instagram @bakey.bakes, or place orders through her website when she opens her calendar at the beginning of the month. I truly can't recommend her enough!

I will only purchase cakes and cookies from Larissa when I’m able to book her! I’m fortunate enough where I’ve been able to have a few cakes created for me and they are always stunning when they arrive. Ever since the first communication about what I’m looking for, theme, colors, etc. it’s always turned out how I envisioned and better. I hate when I have to cut into it, because they’re so beautiful. Her cake flavors and buttercream are not to be overlooked. They are so decadent, rich and not overly sweet which is a big plus for me! Her cookies are delicious as well. I ordered some awhile back and I got them to share with friends who all loved them. If you’re fortunate enough to snag a date to order a cake or cookies, I would do so. I promise you won’t be disappointed.

Bakey Bakes is AMAZING. Not only are they beautiful looking cakes and cookies they taste better than everything out there. The only problem is how in demand Larissa is and how hard it is to get her delicious bakes goods!

Larissa, owner and sole baker of Bakey Bakes, is a modern Wonder Woman. I was drawn to her baked goods from various social media posts I had seen from great friends of mine attending her pop-ups around Atlanta as well as purchasing her incredible treats. I had yet to have the pleasure of tasting her delicious bakes, yet through her impeccable online reputation, wonderfully up to date website, and multiple outstanding reviews, knew I wanted her to be my husband and I's wedding baker. Upon reaching out to her for consultation and experiencing her excellent communication, I was sold. Larissa provides beyond exceptional customer service, is super prompt and responsive, gives suggestions, solutions, and advice as needed, and is knowledgeable in all things baked. Mind you, my husband and I, had still yet to try any of her unique treats until the day of the wedding, yet she made us both feel so confident and comfortable with her expertise that we knew we had nothing to worry about. I write this review now, to let you know we truly didn't have anything to worry about, and her baked goods - ALL of them - were so deliciously flavored. I love how her nationality influences her treats and that nothing she makes is too sweet, allowing for the true flavor profile of her desserts to shine through. She freshly baked 14 desserts, a groomsmen cake, and our wedding cake for the wedding dessert table of our dreams; none of which tasted artificially flavored, stale, or over the top. Everything was crisp, chewy, moist, and so delicately delicious. She was even kind enough to help with flavor profiles (we ended up choosing blackberry preserves to go in our lemon wedding cake with lavender buttercream) and to set aside two of each treat for us in a special Bride & Groom box, since everyone knows the wedding day is sometimes such a whimsical frenzy that the bride and groom often don't have the time to just sit and eat! But eat we did - her treats stayed fresh even while we traveled the next

I don’t think there’s any image that can do justice to the beauty that Larissa creates on her cakes. The intricate designs, the blend of color and the luscious flavors will take your breath away. I ordered my Thanksgiving cake last year to celebrate it with friends and everyone of them was blown away with it. It was definitely the highlight of the menu even if there was a 20 odd items menu spread. The kids wanted to eat the buttercream fall peonies and were amazed by how it wasn’t too sweet but just perfect. From the pricing standpoint, I think it’s an amazing deal if you see how much effort it takes to creat just one flower. And there are more than 50 of those on one cake, with a theme and color palette. Larissa’s cake are the best way to make your event memorable for years to come. 😍😍😍 If you don’t have a big event or don’t like cakes, worry not. The cookies are the best I have ever had. And I have tried a lot from a ton places - from Paris to Milan to Florence and from every corner of this country that I have been here. To get these right at home is a luxury.

Beautiful delicious food art cakes by Bakey Bakes are a treat, every time I’m able to score one in a flash sale, it feels like I won the lottery. I’ve been lucky enough to try several of her decadent buttercream cake creations, and my favorites, in order are: ube buttercream matcha sesame cake, matcha buttercream ube cake, chocolate buttercream chocolate cake. Follow @bakey.bakes on Instagram and subscribe to have better chance at scoring a cake. Once in a while she will offer other baked treats as well, like cookies and blueberry (from her garden) pastries - all are fantastic and sell out within minutes also.
