Hi, it's me Amber! The cake maker of your wildest dreams! But before there was cake. I got married to my dreamy hubby Tony, and we had three ridiculously amazing kids Laila, Elijah, and Levi. They are my biggest fans and my hearts delight all day, everyday! Okay, now back to the sweet stuff.
I started baking cakes six years ago in Milton Massachusetts for a non-profit called "Birthday Cakes 4 Free" my family would bake and deliver cakes to children and seniors who were not able to afford a cake on their special day.During that time, it really allowed me to find my own style. I can now say with confidence, that my aesthetics is PNW inspired!

Amber was amazing, she created a beautiful cake for our wedding and carefully delivered it 2hrs + away from her shop right to the beach where we had held our ceremony. We had no idea what it looked like right up until the point it was time to have cake, but we trusted in Amber's talent completely and we were rewarded with a cake that was beyond perfect in its looks and taste. We literally ate cake for 3 days straight(it was that good).

Amber is the absolute best! Amber made us a pumpkin toffee crunch cake for our fall wedding and it did not disappoint, our family was amazed and so were we. Every aspect of the cake was perfect, Amber took our ideas and went above and beyond. I would be lying if I said the cake wasn’t what u was looking forward to the most in our wedding. 20/10 would definitely recommend!

My husband and I got married up at Mount Rainier in October, and Amber made our wedding cake, and I can say with 100% honesty that this was the most visually stunning and (most importantly) DELICIOUS cake I've ever seen or tasted. From the moment I first reached out to her, I knew we'd made the right choice! She has this incredible positive energy, where she makes you feel like she's truly excited to work with you and make your day special. She worked with our florist to coordinate color scheme, and I was just blown away with how it turned out. Besides it being just gorgeous (and soooo much taller

Amber is a true artist with wedding cakes! We feel very lucky to have had her expertise and to have her make the elopement wedding cake of our dreams. The delivery was seamless and she handled everything for us. She created something better than we ever could have imagined bringing in the moody PNW forest vibes while also making it DELICIOUS. We will be eating the leftovers for days to come and are very grateful to have been able to work with Amber!

Amber with Sift and Gather made the most AMAZING cake for my friends baby shower. She fit me in fairly close the the day and was able to make me a beautiful 2 tiered vanilla cake with lemon strawberry filling and vanilla butter cream. I let her know it was a tea party butterfly theme and she created this masterpiece!!! I am out of town so I wasn’t able to go in and meet with her before hand so we only emailed back and forth and what she came up with was perfection. Not only was it a beautiful cake but it tasted heavenly, hands down best cake I’ve ever hand!! I HIGHLY recommend working with

Definitely hire Amber. You know when little girls dream of their wedding dress? I dreamed of my wedding cake. She was the first vendor I booked and she dealt with my neurosis for 3 years (2 year engagement + COVID) before delivering on an absolutely beautiful cake that tasted amazing too! I'm going to hire her for basically all my future important cake dates b/c she's worth every dime and more.
Bottom line: Strongly recommend

Amber made us a delicious and beautiful wedding cake for our wedding last month! We picked Sift & Gather after doing a take home cake tasting last winter and LOVING the flavors, especially the buttercream. We also appreciated the take-home option during the pandemic. We ended up ordering a sweetheart cake for us, and several sheet cakes for the rest of our guests. Several friends at the wedding have said it's the best wedding cake they've ever had! I plan to refer to all my Seattle-area engaged friends so I can enjoy again :)

What a dream it was having Amber make a cake for my outdoor elopement. I stumbled upon her website after scouring the internet for someone who could create something elegant and delicious - she nailed it. Amber was very responsive which gave me peace of mind knowing that her creativity was going to shine with the details I provided about the theme and vibe I was aiming for. She truly cares about doing a fantastic job and making any moment whether it's a wedding, birthday party, or "just because" special. Overall, I would highly recommend Amber and I cannot wait to connect with her to request a

Sift and Gather has been an absolute dream to work with on multiple occasions. Even though I have many clients who have chosen them for their Wedding Day or Elopement, this one really went above and beyond. I had a Client who's beautiful Mountain Top Elopement was met with torrential downpours, snow and and made it near impossible to photograph, let alone set up a table from them to enjoy their cake cutting. The cake made a round trip of 6 hours back to the shop where she took the time and care to bring it to life again, so we could go back up to the mountain later that weekend. She replaced the

So thankful our elopement photographer (Mollie- betweenthepine) recommended Amber to make our dream wedding cake. She made the process seamless and delivered and equally delicious and beautiful cake. We went with a 6" honey vanilla with vanilla buttercream cake and it was epic. The color was magical and even matched my now husband's suit! Lucky for me we had leftovers that served as breakfast for several days. If you're getting married in the Seattle area I would highly recommend seeking out Amber for your custom wedding cake.

Amber was amazing to work with for our wedding cake. She's not only just the sweetest woman, she also really listens to her clients' needs and delivered beyond our expectations.
We are still waiting for the photos of our wedding to make it back to us, but you just have to take our word for it that it was a work of art. We told her our color theme and the rough vision we had for how the cake would look like. She blew us away with the end result.

It's my first time here and tried their cinnamon rolls! It was sooooo good! It's delicious and kinda melt in your mouth. They are inside the 222 Market in downtown Olympia and the owners are really friendly. They also make custom cakes and also delivers (with a small fee). Love love their buns and will definitely go back.
