We were having a special event and called several times, left messages, emailed and instagram messaged over 1.5 months in advance of this event to order a cake and had no (zero) response. This unprofessional experience was very disappointing as a potential customer. I am not sure if this company is looking to build their business at all and if they are, we recommend getting back to people.

We had Kakes by kathe for our wedding. The cake was decent but the icing which was supposed to be cream cheese frosting but tasted more just like regular frosting.
Pricing was great but customer service was poor. We had to call, email and drop in to even get a response at one point which was 3 weeks prior to our wedding. There had been multiple weeks where we didnt hear from her. Obviously a very stressful time and not knowing if your cake vendor will show is very concerning.

My Wife and I ordered a two-piece Wedding Cake (A half Vanilla, half Red Velvet Cake, all Keto) for our special occasion, and we can both say that this is the best cake we have purchased! The cakes were fluffy, spongy, moist, and delicious. The guests we had were also absolutely raving about the cakes. Kathie delivered professional service, outstanding product and best of all - she made our special day even more special with the magnificent work she created. I would definitely recommend Kakes by Kathie-Kelowna Wedding Cakes to anyone!

I had a cake made for my mother in law's 70th birthday. It had to be gluten free and I wanted it to be special. When I picked it up, it was beautiful. Little did I know, it was the best damn cake I've ever had! I gave Kathie very little turn around time. So to say I'm impressed is a MASSIVE understatement.
