Cakewalk Heirloom Baking Co.

I was so incredibly happy with cakewalk heirloom baking co for patiently working with me and bringing my vision to life. I will never forget, and will cherish forever the spectacular views, decor and display they brought to life. They had to make TWO hiking trips carrying all these tables and chairs, food and decor up high elevation and in the dark! If you are looking for a caterer in the California Yosemite/Nevada area, look no further. They are family owned and operated using their own farm fresh, organic, non-GMO ingredients, and also have their own wedding flower cutting garden that they use for all the florals and decor which I thought was super cool! Everything looked amazing and tasted so unique, fresh and delicious! So much so that I barely got to taste the cake! I really only got to take a bite of the cake after cutting it because my family ate it all up while we were doing photosJennifer and her family were so humble and kind I felt like we were just hanging out with our friends. You will not be disappointed. I promise.

We ordered brunch, cake, & flowers for a Yosemite elopement last month. There were numerous communication challenges throughout my interactions (I was informed later that the event manager was away, so hopefully that will be resolved when she has returned). There were issues with brunch food items being overly salty/burnt- these specific items were ultimately refunded following the event. Flowers were not as planned/discussed; corsages & boutonnières did not match bouquet. I was told following the event this was due to blooms not surviving drought, but unfortunately was not contacted prior to the wedding to help decide alternatives. We personally did not like our cake flavor (vanilla), but we were not able to taste test in advance due to distance. I reached out following our event and expressed my disappointments. I did receive a response and partial refund which was appreciated.

We used cakewalk for our Yosemite elopement picnic and it was a disappointment. I gave a generous three stars because Jennifer was SO lovely when we first started working together, but the communication was beyond lacking. It took me almost two weeks to get in touch with her (1 week from elopement day) - I emailed multiple times, reached out via IG & left two voicemails before I heard back.
I had no problem paying top dollar for our picnic because I prefer to support small businesses but our picnic wasn’t right. We were promised many items that simply were not packed in our picnic which altered our big day. The basket they gave wasn’t what was on the attachment flyer & didn’t match our color scheme (she had a picture of my flowers), and the flower on the cake didn’t match either. The ice pack was too small to help keep our food cold, we were missing an appetizer, missing the fresh pressed juice, the blanket & thermoses.
Maybe the service would’ve been better for a larger crowd, but I expected more for our elopement day and a price of $468

Posting with some delay- we hired Cakewalk to cater an anniversary dinner for 14 people in October 2022, and we could not have been happier with their work. Jennifer and her family were wonderful! The food was prepared on the spot and delicious - our guests still talk about how good the vegetarian options were in particular. The setup was flawless. My communication with Jennifer over the months prior to the event was seamless, and she did a great job of walking me through details and logistics that I did not have prior experience with. Overall, I could not have been happier with how everything went, and I would happily reach out to them again for future events.
