- What did you get and how did you like it? After a three month search for the perfect baker and cake tastings with 6 other bakeries we commissioned Couture Cakes by A Bountiful Harvest out of Chattanooga to design and create our engagement cake, bridal shower luncheon dessert buffet, rehearsal dinner desserts buffet, wedding cake, grooms cake and custom wedding favors. Simply put their cake was the best tasting, their ability to create everything we were looking for and more together with the all natural ingredients they use was most appealing to both of our families. It was a year long process for Couture Cakes as we commissioned them to create and provide desserts for all events surrounding our wedding. Our engagement cake - Couture Cakes famous Banana Spilt cake, it was created from multiple layers of organic Tahitian vanilla bean cake with freshly made strawberry coulis, Italian meringue banana buttercream, soft freshly made marshmallow crème and organic walnuts. It was fabulous, fun and fitting for our summer engagement party last summer. My bridal shower dessert buffet included some of the most decadent and luxurious desserts I’ve ever tasted, mini mousse shooters included Belgian dark chocolate raspberry, southern banana crème pie, lemon meringue pie, we also enjoyed fresh blackberry, raspberry truffle, lemon lavender, citrus crème, hummingbird and coconut cream cupcakes, handcrafted Belgian chocolates, Raspberry Merlot buttercream, Lemon Basil, Orange Rosemary, Milk Chocolate Decadence, Dark Chocolate Cacao Nib and Lavender truffles, Fleur de Sel Caramels, hand dipped strawberries and cherries, the buffet also included iced lemon cooler, key lime macadamia coconut, almond crunch, peanut butter, macadamia chocolate chip and iced orange pecan cookies. Our Rehearsal dinner buffet include a variety of cheesecakes - peanut butter, blackberry creme, white chocolate raspberry and pecan turtle cheesecakes, 4 layer cakes included - white chocolate caramel, Ga peach and raspberry mousse, and dark chocolate overload and vanilla bean. Our wedding cake was almond cream cake filled with organic raspberry coulis and Belgian chocolate ganache. It was the most amazing flavors combined together. We chose one cake flavor each for both the wedding and grooms cakes to keep simple for the servers with so many guests attending. Grooms Cake – Traditional red velvet but with a twist we added chocolate buttercream in the middle layer. My groom’s personal choice and he highly recommends this combo. Our handmade Belgian chocolate Lavender and Lemon truffle favors were wrapped up in beautiful custom boxes with elegant ribbons and were so stunning. Our guests were thrilled to take them home. My husband, our parents, grand parents, family members and all of our guests thoroughly enjoyed each and every bite of all the desserts created by this company. You could definitely taste the difference in the high quality ingredients they used and that each item was truly made from scratch. Each piece a miniature was work of art just begging to be eaten. As for our wedding cakes they truly were decadently delicious, exquisitely designed and masterfully decorated as there website tag line states.
- Did they have any other options you liked? They have hundreds of options.
- Were you happy? Would you do it again? Yes! Happy would most certainly be an understatement. We were overwhelmed by the sheer beauty and over the top decadence of each dessert. Yes, we would do it all again. We will be using Couture Cakes for all of our special events from this day forward. We highly recommend Couture Cakes in Chattanooga. Your money is well spent for the quality product and outstanding personalized one on one customer service they provide.
- What was the best comment from a guest? There were so many wonderful comments from our family and guests that it is hard to choose. I would have to say my great grandpa who said, “How did I live 92 years without ever tasting something this wonderful. It’s like heaven on a plate!”

- What did you get and how did you like it? We hired Couture Cakes & Confections by A Bountiful Harvest in Chattanooga, Tennessee to design and create multiple cakes for our wedding, twelve table cakes, a five-tier wedding cake, a hand carved groom’s cake, an elaborate mini dessert and candy bar which include a variety of handmade Belgian chocolate truffles, dozens of chocolate dipped treats and take home favors for our 350 guests. It was a huge undertaking one Couture Cakes & Confections mastered beautifully!
- Did they have any other options you liked? Hundreds!
- Were you happy? Would you do it again? Absolutely! All of the cakes were absolutely stunning and our five-tier wedding cake was quite the conversation piece and garnered everyone's admiration. They were so fresh, moist and wonderfully tasty that our guests enjoyed every bite as did Henry and I. We had friends and family attend from 8 states and 3 countries who all enjoyed the cakes and desserts so much they are still talking about them. Henry has passed along their name and business cards to all his partners at his firm as have I to my colleagues and we suspect Couture Cakes will be hearing for many of them in the near future. If you want the best tasting, most elegantly beautiful cakes, outstanding customer service and attention to every detail for your wedding I highly recommend Couture Cakes & Confections by A Bountiful Harvest in Chattanooga.

- What did you get and how did you like it? Couture Cakes of Chattanooga came highly recommend to my Fiancé and I by friends in Nashville who used them for their wedding two years ago. After seeing photographs of their wedding cake and hearing their reviews on the taste and quality of the cakes I immediately called to book a consultation. Good thing I had over a year because they were already booked for my date luckily we were able to change our date to the following weekend. After over a year of planning our destination wedding in Tennessee it was such a delight both seeing the finished cakes and eating them too! The bride and groom’s cakes Couture Cakes of Chattanooga made for our wedding were so beautiful. The colors were perfectly matched to our color palette and the cakes were absolutely delicious, especially the fondant and buttercream icing. The English toffee filling in Peter’s cake was a very sweet surprise our guests weren’t expecting. I could not believe that the flowers on the bridal cake weren't real…they were so perfect and beautifully painted. Everything on the cake was exceptionally detailed and it was a shame to have to cut into it. But, we did and thoroughly enjoyed every last bite. Actually, truth be told we didn't just enjoy it, but devoured it! It was fabulous! Kimberly and Andrew at Couture Cakes of Chattanooga are so gifted, they made the outside of each cake as beautiful as the inside tasted and that's a very special talent that doesn’t come along much in wedding cakes. Usually wedding cake doesn’t taste very nice but so is NOT the case with Couture Cakes of Chattanooga trust me on this one. We’re from New England and we’ve had cake from both the Charm City Cakes (Ace of Cakes) and Cake Boss bakeries at various events and in all honesty the taste and quality cannot even compare to Couture Cakes of Chattanooga. Many thanks goes out to Kimberly & Andrew for their hard work and dedication to creating the best looking and tasting cakes in the nation! We’re looking forward to our cupcake of the month club selection arriving soon!

- What did you get and how did you like it? Our wedding cake was organic lemon cake with fresh organic raspberry filling and raspberry buttercream. The groom’s cake was Belgium chocolate with caramel buttercream and mocha ganache. My husband and I loved them both! Our guests really enjoyed the flavor combinations.
- Did they have any other options you liked? Yes, about a hundred other flavor combinations but we fell in love with these. I do have to say I would love to have had the fluff-a-nutter (vanilla bean cake with soft marshmallow crème filling and peanut butter buttercream but we were concerned not knowing about peanut allergies with our guests.
- Were you happy? Would you do it again? Happy? Seriously? Happy does not begin to describe our feelings about our experience with Couture Cakes by A Bountiful Harvest in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Thankful, forever grateful and more than satisfied! We live in Seattle, Washington and got married in the picturesque mountains of Tennessee where my husband is from. Couture Cakes was highly recommended to us by a long time friend and co-worker who commissioned them to do her wedding about a year ago. She explained to us that Couture Cakes in Chattanooga, Tennessee was the only bakery she could find to create her a gluten free wedding cake and that she had her cake flown in overnight and it arrived on time, in perfect condition and was more elegant than she had ever imagined. She also explained that none of her guests were aware that her cake was gluten free and to this day she still gets comments on how wonderful it tasted. We could not do an in-person tasting, so Kimberly had our cake samples shipped overnight to us here. We did all of our communication via email and telephone. I was able to tell her exactly what I wanted without ever meeting her in person, she was able to translate it perfectly into the wedding cake of our dreams. The cake looked like it cost thousands of dollars, and was as delicious on the inside as it was beautiful on the outside. The handmade sugar flowers looked so real, and we even tried the fondant, which was truly delicious, even though everyone says it is only for decoration. Apparently they have not tried Couture Cakes fondant! Planning a wedding from thousands of miles away was quite stressful at times – it was a major relief to have such a caring vendor who truly took the time to listen to our wants and desires and come up with something absolutely breath-taking for our wedding. My husband and I absolutely recommend Couture Cakes and husband and wide owners, Kimberly & Andrew, and we were honored to have had one of her masterpiece creations as the centerpiece of our wedding. Mr & Mrs R. Benton

- What did you get and how did you like it? Couture Cakes by A Bountiful Harvest created a wacky style cake for my offbeat wedding that went beyond what we thought possible. My fiancé Bode and I had a vision of what we wanted but no one is this town had a clue how to create it until we found this company while talking to someone at Greenlife while buying some groceries. The lady told us she knew Couture Cakes made vegan cakes that we also gluten free and tasted awesome as she had bought one for her kids birthday party and was pretty sure that the owners could create anything we wanted. She was right! Bode and I give this company 100 STARS for both taste and design. They rock! Oh and hey they have the most AMAZING cupcakes you will find any where in Tennessee! Check out there Chocolate Decadence and Lemon Drop OMG….THEY ARE too DIE FOR!!!!

- What did you get and how did you like it? We had such wonderful flavors where do I begin?! Our wedding cake was 6 tiers so they shipped it in 2 sections and our wedding planner worked with our chef to stack it perfectly and add the elegant handmade flowers. The Couture Cakes owner made it very easy as they had sent photos of the cake finished and had marked all the spaces for the flowers and carefully wrapped all the handmade sugar flowers and tagged them as to their placement. They could not have made it any easier for us. For the cake flavors that was difficult because they all sounded wonderful but in the end for the wedding cake we choose their almond cake with organic raspberry filling and almond buttercream, it was beautifully covered in a very thin layer of winter white fondant with amazing detail work. The groom’s cake we choose their Belgian chocolate cake with alternating layers of mocha buttercream and chocolate ganache. It was more than heavenly!
- Did they have any other options you liked? We thought about their vanilla bean cake but most of our family loves almond so we went with the almond.
- Were you happy? Would you do it again? My hubby & I live in California and spent two years planning our dream wedding, everything was perfect right down to the cake. Six months before our wedding my husband-to-be was diagnosed with celiac spruce disease. After months of being seriously ill we were happy to finally have a diagnosis at the same time we didn’t know a thing about living gluten-free and were very disappointed to find out that we couldn’t have the dream wedding cake. Nick wanted me to have the cake and said he wouldn’t partake in it but I couldn’t do that knowing in my heart that every time we looked at our wedding album we’d remember not having that special part of our day. So began our frantic search for a bakery to make a cake that was free from wheat and gluten. I didn’t realize it’d be so difficult to find a baker who could pull this off. We spent 3 months searching, buying and tasting things off the internet and from local bakeries, most went in the trash because they weren’t fit for human consumption. Some of which were bought from bakeries who claimed to be free of wheat and gluten but made Nick very ill anyway, this opened our eyes to the importance of why people with this disease should ONLY by from a bakery which only bakes products without wheat or gluten containing ingredients. We were exhausted from searching and fed up with taste testing horrible cupcakes and cakes (hockey pucks as Nick called them) and nearly gave up until one afternoon when Nick ran into an old friend, Tim, whom he hadn’t seen since high school. Tim had recently moved back from Boston and was married with two kids. Long story short - Tim invited Nick and I up for the weekend to catch up, meet his family and attend his youngest daughter’s birthday party. Nick explained that he would love to attend but he was having some food issues and still trying to figure out this new diet the doctor had put him on. They chatted over a cup of coffee and it turns out that Tim’s wife and kids also have celiacs. Seriously!?! What are the chances! He was so excited when he came home to tell me that Tim’s wife has been living gluten-free for 10 years now. We had a wonderful visit and Nick was able to eat everything that weekend. The best part was when we tasted the birthday cake! OMG!!!! We both looked at each other and squealed with delight! LOL We soon realized that everyone was starring at us so we went on to explain that we had to cancel our wedding cake and had given up hope on finding one. Linda explained she had found this family owned bakery in Chattanooga, Tennessee that only bakes wheat and gluten that she had been ordering from for years. We were shocked that they actually could ship a huge three tier princess castle across the nation and it arrive in one piece but to be honest we were excited there was hope for a wedding cake. We emailed Couture Cakes to inquire about a wedding cake and they emailed us back to set up a phone consultation. After just moments on the phone with the owner we knew we’d received the answer to our prayers. Nick scanned our dream wedding cake design and emailed it to the bakery they not only were able to create it they made it totally safe for Nick and it tasted better than we ever imagined. Our guests were surprised when we told them we had the cake shipped overnight from Tennessee, most thought we were nuts for the shear cost of the UPS shipping but when they tasted it everyone agreed it was the best tasting cake they had ever eaten at any wedding! Needless to say we are very grateful to the owners for making our dream come true and all of their hard work. We are now happily married and have enjoyed several cakes and cupcakes from their bakery. So far every flavor we’ve tried is our new favorite flavor. We haven’t found one we don’t like. We hosted our first family dinner as a married couple this holiday season and all of the desserts came from Couture Cakes/A Bountiful Harvest and everyone on both sides of our family enjoyed them. We will be life long customers and forever grateful to Andrew and Kimberly and their staff for baking such awesome products!
- What was the best comment from a guest? Everyone agreed it was the best tasting cake they had ever eaten at any wedding hands down. How can I order one?

- What did you get and how did you like it? This company came highly recommended by our daughters wedding planner. We were thrilled with all of the cakes they made for the bridal shower, rehearsal dinner, wedding reception and after wedding brunch we hosted for the out of town guests. Their cakes are super moist, very flavorful and not overly sweet. We had a variety of flavors which were equally as delicious. I would recommend this company for both their mouth watering treats and outstanding customer service.

- What did you get and how did you like it? Our wedding cake was 4 alternating tiers of coconut cake with lemon mousse and coconut buttercream and macadamia cake with caramel cream filling and white chocolate ganache. Our grooms cake was a stack of law books and was chocolate cake with banana mousse and chocolate buttercream. AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS!
- Did they have any other options you liked? My husband and I reside in Texas but booked our wedding and grooms cake from Couture Cakes on recommendation from the venue we choose in Chattanooga for our destination wedding. We read all the reviews and talked to area professionals before booking our cake. After speaking to the owner of Couture Cakes we decided to take a chance and book the cakes without having tasted them. They were very accommodating and we sorted all of the details out over the phone and via email over the several months leading up to our wedding date. We both felt that Kimberly understood our needs and desires and were confident she would do a good job. But she didn’t do a good job she did an AMAZING JOB! The cakes were delivered and set up with plenty of time to spare and were both AMAZING BEAUTIFUL and tasted AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS!!! The professional service and attention to detail was more than we could ever have hoped for. They played a huge roll in making our wedding day that much more special.
- Were you happy? Would you do it again? YES! I cant wait to order our anniversary cake. I think we will have to order many more between now and then!
- What was the best comment from a guest? We were asked at least 50 times who made this cake? I want one!

- What did you get and how did you like it? Dark Belgium chocolate cake with mocha buttercream and dark chocolate ganache filling. The moistest most delicious cake we have ever had.
- Were you happy? Would you do it again? Yes, my wife and I were over joyed with the results. I remember walking into our wedding venue and as I entered the reception hall to meet my bride, the first thing I noticed was the beautifully decorated tiered wedding cake displayed on the opposite side of the room. You could not miss it – my first words to my bride were “WOW, it’s exactly the way we pictured it! My bride’s response was “It’s absolutely picture perfect!” Thank you for your artistic design, exemplary customer service and attention to detail. Your hard work and efforts are what sets you apart from others in this field. We look forward to you creating our holiday cakes. Dr. Paul Martin
