The Loverly List: Best Wedding Cake & Dessert Bakers in the US 2025-26

Hi, I’m Armana, a wedding cake artist passionate about creating luxurious, edible works of art. Growing up in Nebraska, I dreamed of playing professional golf and spent years touring while also working at my family’s wedding venue. After college and eight years on the golf circuit, I found myself at a crossroads. During lockdown, I decorated my first cake, and everything changed. Within three months, I launched my dessert business, and through constant growth and exploration, I discovered that cakes were my true passion. Designing my first wedding cake brought me full circle, back into the wedding industry where I feel right at home. Now, I have the joy of creating bespoke cakes for some of Arizona’s most beautiful celebrations.

Hi, I’m Connor, the heart behind Connor's Craft Cakes—where every cake is a delicious expression of your unique story. My journey began in Bend, OR, with a career in Civil Engineering and service in the U.S. Air Force, but my true passion always lived in the kitchen. In 2022, I traded spreadsheets for spatulas and launched my cake business in sunny San Diego after a family gathering where my cakes stole the show. Since then, I’ve dedicated myself to the art of cake design, blending fine dining inspiration with bold flavors and artistic flair. From weddings to birthdays, every cake I create is a labor of love—and I can’t wait to craft one just for you.
