Dream cakes

Dream Cakes is a Portland custom wedding cake bakery, currently owned and operated by Minh, offering fully made-from-scratch tiered cakes, sheet cakes, and custom dessert arrangements. Dream Cakes focuses on custom buttercream designs using local ingredients, with flavor combinations built around each couple's preferences and design inspiration drawn from invitations, dresses, and Pinterest boards. The bakery has operated since 1994, originally founded by Judy Reese, who ran it for 20 years before retiring in 2014; Minh trained with Reese for over a year before taking over, and brings 18+ years of professional kitchen experience and 10+ years in the wedding industry. Based in Portland, with free delivery within a 15-minute radius of the bakery and delivery available for orders meeting the $1,000 minimum. Couples consistently praise the flavor quality across a range of combinations, including coconut cake with passionfruit curd, lemon with raspberry compote, and chocolate with German chocolate filling, and frequently note that the finished cakes exceeded their visual expectations. A wedding planner who has worked with Dream Cakes multiple times specifically calls out quick communication and the ability to accommodate custom flavors.
