Sauer Cakes, LLC

Michelle Sauer does have delicious cakes and is very friendly, but if you are looking for a vendor that is easy to work with I would not recommend this vendor. Michelle added a lot more extra stress to our wedding experience because she is extremely hard to get a hold of. My now husband and I had to call her and email her multiple times any time we tried to get a hold of her. The only way we seemed to get a response was to question whether she really wanted our business or not, and to threaten to find another vendor. Even two weeks before my wedding we were fighting to get a hold of her. My wedding was early April so it was not like it was the busy wedding season. In my mind the cake for your wedding is something that should be easy and fun, but that was quickly ruined by the lack of communication and struggle to get in contact with Michelle.

Michelle at Sauer Cakes was great. She was able to cater to me at the last minute and was very nice to work with, flexible, and helped make my day super easy. Especially, since she was a preferred vendor for my venue at Creekside Conference and Event Center, delivery was free and all rentals were free. She was great, her cake was delicious and beautiful and cake tasting was free! She had the best value out of all the bakers I looked at. I highly recommend her.

Sauer Cakes made a beautiful and delicious cake for our wedding. She has a variety of options, and you will find it hard to choose because all of them are so good. As I write this, I am thinking about defrosting the leftover cake in my freezer! Sauer Cakes is a great value and she will work with you to stay within your budget (actually, we ended up under budget) Michelle is sometimes difficult to get a hold of (she is busy!) but don't worry it. She will come through and will exceed your cake expectations!

Michelle from Sauer Cakes actually made me fall in love with wedding cake. Her buttercream frosting is phenomenal and her flavor combinations are endless! She is creative and can design the cake of your dreams - and also will be patient with you while you change your mind a million times :) She provides free tastings, and she gave me a take home box for my parents who could not come! Sauer Cakes gives you a new anniversary cake so that you don't have to eat year-old frozen cake!

DELICIOUS!! I am still eating leftover cake 2 days later & it is so fresh! So any options with so many fillings. Beautiful design!

AMAZING cake! My husband and I didn't really care all that much about our cake because neither of us are "cake" people. Until Michelle came along.. Whoa! We LOVE her cake!! It tastes amazing and I cannot wait until next year when we get our anniversary cake (included with the cost of your wedding cake). I gave her 3 stars on responsiveness because it was hard to get ahold of her at times. She was super flexible with us and even delivered our cake late in the evening when we requested because it was an outdoor ceremony and reception and we didn't want it sitting out all day. We had 3 different flavor combinations and the cake design was exactly what I wanted. LOVE her and her cake!

Michelle is AWESOME!! I wasn't even going to have cake at our wedding, because neither my husband nor I really care that much for cake, but after we met with her, we were sold! We actually used one of her model cakes for show, and she made oodles of sheet cake for serving - and the sheet cake was just as perfectly delicious as could be! We still have some of our cutting-cake, now almost 3 weeks old, and when I brought it to work everyone was raving about it. Michelle is SO NICE, VERY easy to work with, and also VERY flexible. Her work is amazing - love her and her cakes!!

LOOK NO FURTHER!! THIS IS THE ONE YOU WANT!!! Sauer Cakes are not only beautiful, they taste Wonderful!!! I can't tell you how many people at my wedding told me or my immediate family, That the cake was THE BEST THEY HAD EVER TASTED!!! It was moist, the flavors and extra fillings set everything into an upward spiral. But let me back up a bit. We found Sauer Cakes at a Bridal Expo in Columbus. I brought 5 other people with me that day. We all paired off into 2's. And when we met back up later, ALL 3 "teams" had Sauer Cakes flyer and NO ONE ELSES. Every women I brought said, This is the ONE YOU WANT!! So, Like I said, LOOK NO FURTHER, THIS IS THE ONE YOU WANT!!! Thank You Michelle. You Helped to Make our Wedding PERFECT!! I can't Wait to call you next year and order our Anniversary Cake and get to taste perfection again, and Also to see you again!!

Wow, how lucky and blessed we feel to have found Sauer Cakes! Having a wedding on the campus of Ohio State, we showed up with photos of buckeyes and Brutus… and Michelle jumped right on board! Our cake was a huge hit, guys and girls alike, and truly was the most amazing tasting and a SUPER value. I know that everyone always tells you nice things on the day of your wedding, but our guests were honestly thrilled and excited they were able to try multiple flavors. For the same flat fee we were able to have 3 different flavors! I cannot wait for our one-year anniversary to order another chocolate peanut butter cake, yum! More importantly, Michelle was so fun, easy and comfortable to work with and made the day completely stress free. We didn’t worry about a thing after meeting her and she was genuinely excited for us. I can’t say enough good things or more highly recommend a business, product, and person….thank you for making our day and cake special and perfectly fitting to us!

Michelle Sauer was a delight to work with. I'm not much of a cake or cupcake fan myself, but the cake and cupcakes Michelle made for us were the best I've ever had. I couldn't stop eating them! They received rave reviews from all of our guests. Everybody was amazed at how delicious they were. And Michelle's prices are fantastic. She also set up the cake and cupcakes and came back at the end of the reception to box up the leftovers for us and take away the stand she let us borrow, for no extra cost. If any of our friends or family in the area need a cake, we know who to recommend!

We loved our cake! Michelle is so easy to work with and actually found a picture right after our initial meeting of a cake design we decided to go with. It was awesome! Our cake tasted excellent and we had so many guests commenting how good it was. Michelle really works with you to make sure your cake is exactly how you want it and has the perfect taste. I highly, highly recommend.

I was immediately drawn to Sauer Cakes based on Michelle’s variety of techniques that I noticed on her website. During our first consultation, she asked all of the right questions to really understand what my groom and I wanted, since we are a more unconventional couple. She was also able to accommodate our request for a faux cake so we were able to display the work of art throughout the reception. All 3 flavors of cake were delicious and I only wish that we lived in Columbus so we could try all the other great combinations!

Everyone loved the cake! i was a bit leary in the begining cause it was difficult to get in touch with Michelle, she redeemed herself with making such a great cake. I would reccomend her any day,

Michelle is great to work with! Her cakes are beautiful and delicious!

I agree with some of the other reviews. I'll start off by saying that our cake was absolutely delicious, and exactly what I asked for, that should be simple enough for a happy customer. The problems were mostly that Michelle is extremely busy and very hard to get a hold of when there are questions or concerns. This is all well and good, and for good reason, her cakes are reasonably priced and taste amazing, but planning a wedding is very stressful and there are many vendors that a bride is trying to work with all at once. Better communication, simply hiring a neighbors kid to respond to emails would be a simple solution to happier customers. That said I want to reiterate that the cake was DELICIOUS and it did turn out really great.

Michelle was very easy to work with, provided many options for flavors and fillings, and made us the msot beautiful wedding cake. One of our guests actually ate 6 peices and needless to say our cake was a big hit! My husband and father LOVED the peanut butter and chocolate ganache combo that Michelle created for us!

We gave such a low score for a couple of reasons. I will point out the good things first, my husband says the cake tasted good. The outside presentation of the cake was really nice and what we asked for. She was friendly and was there on time (although I never saw her). The things we were not happy with was that we wanted to make changes to the cake fillings and had tried to contact her a few months prior to our wedding to make the changes. We never received a response back, then we got a little concerned a little over a month away from the wedding so we contacted her again to make sure that she had seen where we wanted to make some changes. It took her three weeks and 6 attempts later to contact us. Her reasoning for not getting back sooner to me was that "it's wedding season". Yes, I know and my wedding was 2 weeks away at that point. As frustrating as that was I was satisfied that she understood how we wanted everything and that it would get done right. I was wrong, little did I know when I cut into my cake I would immediately see that the fillings were wrong. The surprising part to me was that the filling was neither our first filling we had selected or the filling we had requested that it be changed to. To add to the frustration it was a fruit filling that I did not like so I did not get to eat any of my cake. I tried to resolve this with her and sent her an email over a month ago, I'm not surprised I have not received a response yet.

Michelle is awesome and so are her cakes. She was wonderful to work with the whole way through. She invited me to stop by for a tasting and even allowed me to return with my fiance and parents for another tasting, so they could participate in the festivities. She is honest and fair about the pricing, instead of another vendor wanting to rack up the price and take advantage of brides' and their perfect wedding ideas, Michelle is honest about how to get more bang for your buck. She took all of my ideas and the final product was exactly what I had in mind, not only that, the cake was beyond delicious. I had many guests say it was the best they ever had! AND instead of eating frozen wedding cake of one year on your anniversary, Michelle offers a fresh replica of your cake topper to celebrate with, which I am already looking forward to!

The wedding cake was fantastic! I had so many compliments on it. She was very flexible with changes and the addition of a small side cake to accommodate extra guests. She is also baking us a small 1 year anniversary cake for free, so we don't have to eat 1 year old frozen cake!

Michelle is awesome! She was so helpful in assisting us to find the perfect cake for our wedding. In the end it turned out looking gorgeous, and tasted phenomenal. We recommend Sauer Cakes to everyone, this is our favorite vendor from our wedding!
