Last reviewed August 11, 2026. Kakes by Kathie is a Kelowna storefront bakery for couples researching Kelowna wedding cakes with a custom-design focus. Its official website says the business has more than 20 years of cake-decorating experience and serves brides and grooms in the Okanagan Valley, in addition to clients planning other occasions.

The official site provides a wedding-cake portfolio, a flavours-and-fillings menu, pricing guidance and booking information. It also publishes delivery and tasting details, so couples can make a more informed initial enquiry while confirming the specifics for their date, design and venue.

Services and specialization

Kakes by Kathie describes itself as a Kelowna storefront bakery that makes wedding cakes and cakes for other celebrations. The official About Us page identifies wedding cakes for brides and grooms in the Okanagan Valley as a core service, while also mentioning birthdays, anniversaries, holidays and graduations. For wedding planning, the best-supported service is a made-to-order cake tailored around the event.

The official Wedding Cakes page is a visual portfolio rather than a package catalogue. It includes examples described as marbled blush with edible silver leaf, ivory lace and pearls, fondant ruffles with fresh florals, naked cakes, cascading blossoms, ombré work, sequins and sugar flowers. These examples give couples a useful way to discuss aesthetic direction, but they are not a promise that every pictured finish, flower treatment or tier arrangement is available for every booking.

The menu lists cake flavours including red velvet, chocolate fudge, French vanilla, lemon, pumpkin spice, carrot, coconut and lime. It also lists buttercream, premium and other filling options, along with cupcakes, donuts, macarons and tarts. Some selections are marked as an additional cost, and the menu says other flavours may be available on request.

Service area and who it may suit

The official contact page lists a Kelowna address, and the home page says Kakes by Kathie serves Kelowna and the Okanagan. The FAQ states that wedding-cake delivery is available to Vernon, Kamloops, Oliver, Osoyoos, Kaleden, Penticton, Summerland and the Shuswap area for an additional cost; it invites enquiries for other areas.

This bakery may suit couples seeking a locally based custom cake maker with a varied online portfolio, from detailed fondant-style work to more understated naked and floral cakes. The published flavour and filling list may also help couples begin narrowing preferences before a consultation.

The site does not publish a fixed minimum wedding order, a guest-count range or an availability calendar. Delivery logistics are destination-specific, so couples should confirm their venue, setup timing and cost rather than relying on the general delivery-area statement.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A documented feature is the business's stated experience: its official About Us page says it has more than 20 years of cake-decorating experience. Another is the amount of first-party planning information available online. Couples can review a dedicated wedding portfolio, a flavour list, prices for several starting options, tasting information and booking terms before contacting the bakery.

The official FAQ also says Kakes by Kathie offers vegan-friendly/dairy-free and gluten-free options. It cautions that gluten-free products are prepared in a kitchen containing wheat and that cross-contamination cannot be guaranteed. The same FAQ says the kitchen contains peanuts, peanut butter, almond flour, pecans and hazelnuts, so it is not a nut-free facility.

Important limitations are practical rather than negative: every cake is individually priced, not every decoration has a published price, and date availability depends on capacity. Couples with allergies, a complex floral design or a remote venue need a written, order-specific confirmation.

Confirmed feature: more than 20 years of stated cake-decorating experience
Confirmed feature: substantial wedding-cake portfolio
Confirmed feature: published flavours, tastings and booking guidance
Limitation: custom pricing and availability require a direct quote
Limitation: gluten-free and vegan-friendly options are not guaranteed free from cross-contamination

Pricing

The official FAQ publishes starting-price guidance rather than a single wedding-cake package price. It says basic cake design starts at $10 per serving and 3D sculpted cakes start at $275. It gives an illustrative base price of $120 for a six-inch round cake intended to serve 12. Final pricing is based on the time and ingredients required.

For wedding planning, the FAQ lists a standard tasting pack for pickup at $75 and a sit-down consultation with a standard tasting pack for up to three people at $150. It also lists starting prices for cupcakes, donuts, tarts or mini pies, cookies and brownies at $48 per dozen; macarons start at $40 per dozen with a four-dozen minimum. Some menu flavours and fillings are separately marked as additional cost.

Wedding-cake delivery and setup are typically included in the wedding quote, according to the FAQ, with exceptions. Delivery to the listed outlying areas is at an additional cost. Ask for an itemized quote covering servings, tiers, flavours, filling, decoration, delivery, setup, rentals, taxes and payment deadlines.

Sit-down consultation with tasting pack: $150
Final quote varies by design, ingredients, servings and logistics

Contact and booking

Kakes by Kathie lists its address as 1863 Harvey Ave, Kelowna, BC V1Y 6G4 and its phone number as 250-808-3382. The home page invites visitors to book an appointment, while the About Us page directs prospective clients to call for a consultation.

The official FAQ recommends reserving a date as soon as the event date is set and says orders are accepted until capacity is reached. It notes that some weekends book more than a year ahead, while other orders may be possible with a few weeks' notice. No same-day cake orders are accommodated because items are made fresh to order.

The published payment policy requires a 50% non-refundable booking fee to reserve an order, with the balance due at least two weeks before the event. Orders under $300 and orders placed within two weeks require full payment. Confirm the currently applicable terms with the bakery before booking.

Tastings, dietary needs and delivery

The FAQ says tasting packs can be pre-ordered for pickup with at least 72 hours' notice, subject to availability. Pickup days are limited to Monday through Wednesday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.; evening and weekend pickup is not available. Sit-down consultations are currently listed for Mondays from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. These details can change, so confirm when enquiring.

For food needs, the official FAQ supports asking about vegan-friendly/dairy-free and gluten-free choices, as well as sugar-free, low-GI options. However, it explicitly warns that allergens may be present or come into contact with products. Couples managing an allergy should discuss requirements directly and decide whether the published precautions meet their needs.

For delivery, provide the venue address, access information, reception timing and a day-of contact. The official contract form requests these details, reflecting that a wedding-cake order and setup need venue-specific coordination.

What couples should confirm

Start with the wedding date, venue, estimated servings, preferred design references and flavour shortlist. Ask whether the chosen design can be adapted to your intended number of servings and whether it requires elements not priced in the starting guidance. If using fresh flowers, ask how they will be coordinated; the official contract notes that the florist is generally responsible for providing fresh flowers unless otherwise arranged.

Clarify whether delivery and setup are included in your quote, what time the cake will arrive, whether the venue provides a suitable table and who receives the order. If considering stand or tower rentals, obtain the current rental amount, deposit, return date and condition requirements in writing.

Before payment, review the current booking, change and cancellation terms with the bakery. Confirm all allergy, ingredient and cross-contamination questions directly, especially where a guest's medical needs require more assurance than a general dietary-friendly option can provide.
