WOW! That is what I have to say. The wedding cake is not something that you typically hear people rave over, and we got so many compliments and requests for leftovers if we had any! First, the cake and cupcakes were all gorgeous. Next, the flowers and decor that were placed on the day of the wedding looked amazing! We are not huge cake people, but I could not stop myself from going back to get more leftovers multiple times. More...

I'm a wedding planner and have been for 6 years so I have tasted/seen a LOT of wedding cakes. Melissa's cakes definitely stand out among the sea of sweets I've had and I recommend her to every one of my couples. Her vanilla bean buttercream frosting is the best frosting I've ever had! Not only do her cakes have a punch of flavor and perfect level of moisture, but they also look incredible. If you think her portfolio photos look good, just wait until you see her cakes in person....meaning BOOK HER NOW! More...

Melissa is amazing! We did a cake tasting with her first, and she provided so many options for us, and they were all delicious. We finally chose to do three tiers, each a different flavor. Everyone raved about the cake. The cake was one of my favorite things about our wedding, LOL! We also ordered personalized cookies too. Anytime we're back in TN, I am going back to Melissa because her flavors/combinations are outstanding. More...

We booked Fox Den Bakery for our Dec. 2021 wedding in Sevierville, TN. We weren’t able to do a taste-testing or meet in person with Melissa for a number of reasons. However, this didn’t prevent her from delivering the absolute best wedding cake of all time! We simply sent emails and chatted on the phone about flavors and styles. The outcome was perfection!

Melissa was easy to work with and accommodating of what my needs were for our big day. We traveled from out of town for our wedding and I was in quite the bind unable to find a baker with availability to provide a cake for our wedding. I wish I could upload pictures to give a better idea of what our cakes looked like on the day of! I was little nervous since we weren't able to do a cake tasting beforehand and had to go off reviews. But they were both beautiful, one being a semi-naked 3-tier vanilla cake with buttercream frosting and a chocolate frosting grooms cake. They also tasted amazing and everyone mentioned how delicious the cakes were! She also made sure that I could decorate it as we wanted with our fur baby figurines displayed on the main cake and the chocolate cake with a hunting theme. And I loved that she offered gluten-free products so we added a few gluten-free cupcakes that were just as cute to accommodate some of our other guests dietary requests. I would recommend Fox Den Baking Co. and would absolutely use them again in the future if I were ever back in the area! More...

I contacted Melissa a few weeks before my wedding as my cake plans had fallen through. She quickly answered all of my questions and was able to bring my small cake idea to life. I was able to add on cupcakes as well which worked out perfectly because my husband wanted a chocolate cake and I wanted red velvet. We were able to both get what we wanted! After debating for a bit I reached back out to her to add on a dozen decorated cookies. I wanted something I could ship to my grandparents as they weren’t able to travel for the wedding and I wanted to share something with them. The cookies were my favorite part! I shipped 6 to my grandparents and kept the other 6 for myself. They were so cute and equally delicious!! Overall, I had such a great experience ordering from Melissa and I’m so grateful she was able to help me out on a short notice! More...

On top of having such delicious cakes, Melissa was an absolute gem! She was so kind when we visited her shop for our cake tasting. My husband and I traveled throughout Italy for a summer and we expressed interest in doing a tiramisu inspired cake. She was so excited to develop a personal recipe to represent a sweet part of our relationship! The cake was delicious and the marscapone icing she made was TO DIE FOR! We left the tasting thinking about that icing for weeks!
Delivery on our wedding day went smoothly and the cake display was beautiful. We got so many compliments on both the beauty and taste of the cakes. We actually almost didn’t get to have a slice of cake, other than from our bite of cake cutting, because people kept going back for seconds and thirds!! Pricing was extremely reasonable and Melissa was super flexible in working to create our dream cake display. If you need a baker in the Knoxville area, I certainly recommend Fox Den!

Melissa and her crew were absolutely wonderful! They answered all of my and the bride's questions and helped us get just the right flowers for the cake. We couldn't have been happier. I even got extra frosting! The cake was delivered to our AirBnb early in the morning and allowed us to get to their 9am wedding with no problems. Plus, it tasted phenomenal!

Melissa was amazing EVERY STEP OF THE WAY. We lucked out and found her at an Open House event at our venue and I just really liked her right away. The macarons MAY have had something to do with that, but she was really easy to talk to right away and my now-husband and I just got a good feeling about her. We booked a tasting with her and not only was everything DELICIOUS, it was seriously the most fun day. We were joined by a couple friends, my MIL, & SIL and we laughed and laughed. Melissa asked many questions to make sure she understood the vision we had for our cake. She was gracious enough to meet us in Knoxville to pick up our cake topper, and she was flexible when I told her kinda last minute that we decided we wanted to use wraps on our cupcakes. Really just THE BEST and so easy to work with. Also, her vanilla cupcake w salted caramel buttercream is the best cake I've ever put in my mouth (I've eaten and baked many many cakes and usually don't have strong feelings for vanilla cake). On our wedding day, she was in and out of the venue before I even arrived and everything was beautiful. Our cake was exactly what we wanted and our guests raved about the cupcakes (choc w espresso buttercream, vanilla w salted caramel, and strawberry). Cannot say enough nice things about this sweet woman and her delicious creations. Hire her!! You won't regret it. More...
