I have purchased more then 12 cakes from her and I am never let down. She personalizes them based on your colors you want as well as the flavor of the cake. If you want to have a cake that tastes amazing as well as stands out then Star is perfect for you. I had her make mints as well and they turned out to be the best I have ever had. Thanks Star for your Great decorating and baking skills 😘❤😍xoxo

Star made the wedding cake for my son & his wife. They had to plan their wedding that was being held in Iowa from Virginia, so picking someone to do a cake was challenging. Star was so kind, professional & accommodating that once they spoke with her they knew they found "the one". The cake was perfect. She incorporated their colors with flowers & not only was it beautiful, but it was the best cake I've EVER had at any wedding. Moist & delicious with a subtle almond flavor. I'd give her 10 stars if I could!! Thank you Star!

Star at Our Creation is just the best. She is the sweetest lady and her cakes are delicious and gorgeous. I was an out-of-town bride, and she even volunteered to go to Hobby Lobby with my mom so she could help her pick out the right flowers to decorate my cake. She also tells you to serve your topper because she'll make you a fresh one for free for your one-year anniversary--seriously, she's the best! Star kind of feels like family now and I'd recommend her for weddings, birthdays, graduations, or any occasion that calls for cake.


PS: Her white almond cake is AMAZING. Everyone complimented that flavor at our wedding.

Good morning. 


Wanted to let you know that the cake was a hit. People couldn’t believe that you could eat the little wine bottle….not the foil of course. It stayed moist & everything. My mother-in-law loved it. 


Thank you again!

Star made our wedding cake 10 years ago and we loved it. My husband surprised me on our 5th anniversary with a cake made by Star and then again on our 10 year. Now it's just a huge tradition to always come back and visit her and of course get another delicious cake!

Dustin and I went to Our Creation to get our wedding cake done with 2 weeks notice. I was doubtfull about this at first cause not to many people with 2 weeks notice for a wedding cake will have time to do it but Star from Our Creation was more than happy to do it for us. She put her all into our cake and did a wonderful job my cake was the most beautiful cake I have ever seen it was amazing the things she did with our cake I didn't know could be done with a cake it was amazing and the best part was how she cared about the process of the cake and the time she put into it. When we served it at the wedding it was the best tasting cake we got so many complements on how good the cake looked and tasted thank you Star for taking your time on our cake it making it special for us

I found Star and Our Creation Cakes on the internet at the last minute as things didn't work out with original baker. It was a Tuesday evening and I needed this cake on Saturday. It was for my granddaughter Emma's 1st birthday so I was pretty picky on what I wanted. When I met Star I loved her immediately and knew she was going to make that perfect cake for Emma. She was so helpful from beginning to the end. The cake turned out beautiful and everyone said it was so moist and delicious. We are new to the area and I know where all my cakes will come from in the future…..OUR CREATION CAKES!! Thank you so much Star.

Star did both our grooms cake and huge wedding cake. I cannot say enough about how wonderful she was. Having a Sunday wedding made finding a cake vendor difficult to find- most were rude to me and said I'd have to handle transport and pick up a day before. Not Star- she bent over backwards to help me! I was burnt out on decision making and she made it very easy on me. The cake taste was phenomenal! Her design for the groomscake (a BMW car) was perfect- she even did the logo! Our wedding cake was so gorgeous too! She had so many neat touches to add- a waterfall, light display, gorgeous toppers! I am very impressed! Pricing was more than fair too.

We looked at dozens of cake websites and interviewed four bakers. We were looking for taste and price and you can't beat someone that works from home in that regard.


I instantly liked Star at the interview because she is adorable. She challenged me to challenge her and she ran all over her basement to show me what some of her set-ups look like. She talked me into a display that looked absolutely beautiful. It had a littke fountain in the middle and the cylinders holding the cake tiers had marbles and lights. I LOVED it!


We had a groom's cake, too. I had a picture and brought her the decorations and she arranged everything wonderfuly.


As sweet and huggable as she is though, the taste of her cakes was the real selling point. Each bite literally melts in your mouth! She encourages you to eat your first tier after your honeymoon and then she offers to bake another tier for your anniversary for FREE. I wish ours was tomorrow!


I highly recommend Star because she is the whole package – an entrepreneur with low overhead costs so she's very affordable, incredibly sweet and kind, and very professional.

Star did the wedding cake for my brothers wedding in 2000 and I hope to use her again. I caught one of the wedding guests sneaking back for more cake on at least four different occasions. She was wonderful to work with and her cakes taste fabulous. None better that I have had.

Star made my daughter's birthday cake. It was a Little Mermaid cake and it was so pretty. Everyone loved it and it tasted wonderful. Thank-you so much for all your hard work!

Star did an Amazing job for our wedding. The cake was delicious, the display was beautiful, and the price was extremely reasonable. She went well above and beyond our expectations!


We received many compliments about the cake and display and she was wonderful to work with. I have told Star on more than one occasion to use me as a personal reference. Please do not hesitate to ask Star for my information and I would be more than happy to talk with you. Just reference Jeremy and Sarah and our Wedding Date of October 24, 2009.


I will not hesitate to use Star again for any ocasion when I need an elegant cake at a great price.
