Our wedding cake was amazing! We had been to four other bakers and tested cake samples before finding Kathy. As soon as we bit into the cake samples we both looked at each other and had huge grins on our faces - there was no comparison. We ended up going with half strawberry shortcake and half tiramisu - unconventional but absolutely mouthwatering. Kathy also had all the more traditional combinations. She offered by far the most extensive list of cake options (it was almost overwhelming) and let us select 3-4 to taste. They were all fantastic. She was also very flexible, extremely professional and efficient, and very well organized. As your cake provider is someone you'll likely never see the day of your wedding, you want to trust that they are competent to deliver the cake and decorate it appropriately (fresh flowers that we provided in our case) and make sure it is where it needs to be on time. Kathy was fantastic

Kathy was very nice and made the cake that we asked for. We went with her because she was able to make the cake we wanted (lyrics on edible sheets) and was less expensive. She delivered the cake on time and without issues. Highly recommend!

Absolutely the most scrumptious wedding cake ever!! We met Kathy based on a recommendation from of our wedding planner and we are SO glad that she did! After coming from a horrible consultation with the rude staff at Sugar Bakers in Catonsville, MD, Kathy's professional demeanor and upbeat personality instantly put us at ease. We brought pictures to the consultation of some cake design ideas and she was so receptive to our wishes. We were impressed that she didn't try to copy our photos but instead took the pictures we provided and our wedding inspiration (1930s Harlem Renaissance glamour) and totally reinterpreted it into a fabulous wedding cake. We were absolutely blown away when we entered the reception venue and saw our stunning wedding cake. Kathy truly exceeded everything that we could have hoped for! And the best part - THE CAKE TASTED AMAZING! I have some serious bakers in my family and they, among our other guests, are still raving about how great the cake tasted!! Kathy can rest assured that we will be using her services for many years to come. Since the wedding, I've bought a birthday cake for my husband and a cake for the Christmas holiday. If you want not only a beautiful cake but one that also tastes great, then I definitely recommend Simply Desserts.

Kathy did an amazing job on our wedding cake. She has an enormous variety of cake flavors and fillings. It was almost too much to choose from! The tasting we had with her was great. We had a tasting with a larger bakery and felt rushed and like we were not valued customers. Kathy gave us her undivided attention and made the tasting really fun. Obviously, the most important thing (in my opinion, at least) is the taste. Every sample we tried was DELICIOUS. Again, after doing a tasting at a more prominent bakery, I thought Kathy's cakes and frosting were MUCH tastier than everything else we tried. The cake was also decorated beautifully. We had a special request for Kathy to make gum paste versions of our rather non-traditional flowers and she did a great job. I also thought the price was completely reasonable. I honestly don't have a single complaint about our cake. Deciding to use Kathy as our baker was one of the easiest decisions we made while planning our wedding. I only wish I had eaten more cake on our wedding day! Thanks, Kathy!

Kathy is an outstanding baker. She was able to take our ideas and design an absolutely beautiful cake. Although bakers are often focused soley on the look of a wedding cake, Kathy takes it a step further. She provided an excellent presentation and a delicious product. The cake tastes like a dessert that your grandmother would bake. Simply Desserts is simply wonderful!!!

Choice of vendor is everything in planning a wedding. We were fortunate to choose outstanding vendors. Although your cake is supposed to be beautiful, make sure people actually want to eat it. That is how we chose Kathy. The cake was so good we had it served as dessert at our reception (a good way to save a few pennies). We went to several cake tastings and hers was the best.

The cake for our wedding was absolutely incredible! The cake was moist and light, and the icing was perfect. I don't like icing that is too sweet and when I tried the cakes by Simply Desserts it was light and delicious! Our wedding was in October, and Kathy suggested that we do a Spice cake as one of the flavors -- INCREDIBLE! We alternated the tiers with Spice Cake and White Almond, and the guests of our wedding kept going back for more. I found Simply Desserts on a whim (because our reception site did not have an in house baker) and it was one of the best venders we worked with throughout our wedding year. Kathy is wonderful to work with, was interested in getting to know us as a couple, and was so responsive during the whole process. You will not be disappointed! We will definitely be using her in the future!

Kathy was great to work with and really brought the vision that we had for our cake it life. Also I appreciated that when we went for our tasting that she took the time out to learn about myself and me family which I think ultimately made our working relationship even better. Also for the tasting she doesn't give small pieces of cake she gives a nice slice so really get a GOOD taste of the cake. The Raspberry and lemon cake was a big hit at the wedding. We had people trying to sneak pieces away.lol. But seriously thanks Kathy for the great work you did and for working with the florist to make the cake more than beautiful......

Simply Desserts bakes superbly delicious and beautiful cakes! Kathy Wallace Boschulte, Owner/Pastry Chef, is pleasant, easy to work with and an expert at what she does... wedding cakes and more. She does exactly what she says she is going to do... but you we were so surprised that it is so much more than we ever dreamed or expected. My daughter's wedding cake was exquisite, and guests raved about it's taste! We chose Carrot Cake and Chocolate Cake for alternating tiers, with Butter Cream frosting throughout. Alternating tiers were decorated with polka dots and lattice work and although it had the look of fondant, it was buttercream frosting and tasted heavenly! The wedding cake was the crowning effect to the meal and evening! Kathy followed up with a lovely thank you note to us! How professional, courteous and kind! Great prices! Wonderful, happy memories as the pictures show! Working with Simply Desserts has been a delight!

It was great and easy working with Kathy. When we met with her we knew right away we wanted her to provide our cake. We loved the flavors she offered and her icing was superb - it was different than any other bakers we had tried. We sent her a picture of the style of cake we wanted and it came out perfect. She decorated it exactly as we wanted.

Working with Kathy and picking our wedding cake was one of the easiest parts of planning our wedding. Kathy is so personable and a joy to work with. The design was flawless and the cake was the most delicious I have ever tasted. Our guests are still raving about "the melt in your mouth" cake. Most guests went back for 2nds or 3rds, some even for 4th helpings. -Eleanor and Andrew

Kathy is soooo awesome and so are her cakes!! She is so personable and down to earth. The cake was sooooo delicious. It was one of the best cakes I have ever tasted. We went with a couple of flavors and each and every layer was DELICIOUS. The cake was sooo beautiful!! Everyone was oooohhhhing and ahhhhhing over the cake. We had a last minute change to the cake and Kathy came through with flying colors. She's so calm and collected and helps you find a direction for a cake even if you have no clue. We are definitely going to get a cake from her for the holidays!! Love Love Simply desserts and I would recommend them to anyone!!
