I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Alexis and the cake she created for our wedding! Alexis completely nailed the design from the single inspiration photo I sent her, and as for the cake itself - oh my goodness!
Without a doubt, this talented confectionist was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone! Thank you, Alexis!
Alexis and Marci were the sweetest, most patient vendors I've ever met. If you want a wedding cake/desserts company that is thoughtful, makes time for you, is crazy talented, and works with you to make your dream become a reality, go with Tart and Tin. The desserts were not only delicious but also beautiful works of edible art! Thank you for making our wedding day so unique and special!
We really wanted something special for our wedding cake and desserts and I am so happy we chose Tart and Tin. The donuts, cake pops, brownies, and the main event, the cake were not only delicious but stunning as well. Alexis did a wonderful job!
We arranged a to-go tasting of four different cakes and had such a difficult time deciding on one that we ended up getting two different flavors for our wedding! We went with the passionfruit orange cake for one layer, and cookie butter for the other. A strange combination to be sure, but we loved both flavors so muchWe would definitely recommend T+T for any of your future baking needs. We can't wait to go back and try a dozen (or two) of their cake pops in the near future!
Tart and Tin created a delicious cake for our December wedding in Los Gatos, CA! We were going for a natural, organic look that matched our late fall florals and incorporated winter citrus fruits that mirrored our table centerpieces. We appreciated the samples that they mailed us to taste and the ways that they were open to feedback of mixing and matching cake options and frosting. We went with the Cookie Butter cake and they added a custom caramel frosting.
About us
Hello! I'm Alexis, owner and lead designer at Tart + Tin. I'm extremely camera shy and prefer to be behind the scenes but here I am, the face behind this business and here is our story:
- I've been in this caking business for 6, almost 7 years now.
- I'm self taught. I had big plans to go to culinary school, but life had other paths for me to take. When my career in mortgage finance ended, I found myself retreating back to my true passion in baking. And I couldn't be happier to have made that decision to never go back to corporate life again.
- I recently took a leap and built a gorgeous kitchen, tasting room and design studio with my amazing business partner, @jacksonevents! We are beyond thrilled to be in our new space and I absolutely being able to create my art out of there!
- I have 3 children, ages 18, 12 and 4! Yes...we really like to space them out ha!
- I tend to be a messy artsy kind of caker, abstract work is my nitch and what comes most naturally to me. I absolutely love blending colors, playing around and finding new ways to elevate a cake to the next level.
- I'm not a girly girl. Like me and dresses don't really go hand in hand. Shocker, right? If you look at my work it's mostly all femme! So I don't know, maybe it's my alter ego? No idea where it comes from!
- I was born with one partially paralyzed arm. It's my writing arm, my painting arm-but it will never stop me from creating my art. And yes, I still carry every one of these giant heavy cakes myself!
- My cakes are derived from recipes l've altered and perfected from over 1000's of bakes. Tweaking and changing them along the way to what I consider the most perfect cake! If you haven't tried them, you're in for a treat! I guarantee, you haven't had cake like mine before!
