Hey everyone!  I’m so excited to write this blog post today, as it features the most amazing Quad Cities custom cakes creator, Lindsay Reed!  I can’t even tell you how amazing her cakes are.  I’m always in awe of the creativity and detail that goes into each one of these.

Lindsay started her business a couple years ago, and she has since grown into doing a few custom cakes each week for all types of events.  The amount of time and attention to detail that goes into each of these is truly amazing.  She is self-taught which I think is the most incredible part of her story.

Lindsay creates all types of custom cakes including, but not limited to:  weddings, birthdays, baby and wedding showers, one year cake smash, anniversary, edible flowers, business celebrations, etc.  If you have something in mind, simply reach out to her.  She’s pretty amazing at this stuff!  You won’t be dissapointed!

I went over to her house on Friday as she had 3 cakes she was wrapping up, and I got to see her in action.  It’s amazing to me that she can take a picture someone sends her and recreate that for you to fit your special occasion.  Not only is she super talented, she’s a really great person to work with.

Check out a few of my favorite photos from the cakes she was working on last week.

Here is the master behind the magic!  Meet Lindsay!  I told her we needed a fun shot of her, and this is what we came up with!  It’s totally representative of her fun-loving personality.  I don’t think I’ve ever seen her without a smile!

 Here are some of the photos I snagged from her Facebook page to show you some more of the cakes she’s created.  They are so awesome to say the least!

Can you believe the flower below is edible!  Isn’t that amazing!
