About The Kibler Elf

The Kibler Elf is a custom local bakery started by Monica Kibler who has worked a handful of Michelin Star restaurants in the area. Monica's claim to fame are her coffee cakes, which come in 7 different flavors, and her decorated sugar cookies. All orders are made-to-order and therefore require time to prepare and make. For custom cakes and cookies we are accepting order placed with a minimum of 2 weeks out.

I have ordered branded custom cookies for our company events many times, and each time Monica delivers consistently great cookies. The ordering and pick up process is easy. Our CEO and guests love them!

We ordered 120 decorated cookies (some regular, some gluten-free) for my mother’s 90th birthday. Monica did 7 different designs, all wonderful, reflecting some of my mom’s favorite things. The cookies were tasty and individually wrapped for guests to take home. Everyone loved the look and the idea of cookies rather than cake. Thanks, Monica!

Ordered custom cupcakes last minute for my girlfriend's birthday and Monica did not disappoint! The final product was gorgeous and totally on theme. Would highly recommend for custom baked goods!

Ordered a custom cake on 4/24 to be delivered on 05/7 to my son's university for his 21 st bday. I live in Florida therefore, I was relying on a friend to meet Monica so that my son could be surprised. The first picture below is the reference picture of the custom cake that I ordered and the second picture is the actual cake that was delivered. Monica, was completely unprofessional with her delivery. Monica, agreed to send me a picture of the cake prior to delivering it and she never did. I had to email her, text her and call her just so that she could answer my call with an extremely rude tone and even argued with me about the delivery time. She was at the delivery site without notifying or confirming her exact delivery time. I had to hurry and scramble for someone to accept the cake from her. TO make matters worst the cake tasted awful- it was hard and almost not edible! This was a really bad experience and if I could give this place a 0/10- I would have. This cake cost me $185 and the delivery cost $40 WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY!

Sept 2023 review - we had a great experience with Monica’s cake and sugar cookies the prior year (see review below and pictures), so we re-ordered from her for my son’s following birthday but it was a little different experience. Cakes were a bit dry/dense this time. Sugar cookies were still excellent! Sept 2022 review- Highly recommend Monica’s cakes and sugar cookies! I reached out to her with a request for my son’s birthday and she was very responsive and helped me pick cake flavors based on my preferences. The end product was incredible! The design was very adorable and the cake was one of the best cakes I’ve tasted. My guests were so impressed as well! We did a two layer cake with chocolate cake filled with berries on the bottom and vanilla cake with confetti sprinkles and lemon curd filling on top. Cakes were not dry at all and not overly sweet - exactly what I requested! And the sugar cookies were so incredibly cute and on theme and they tasted sooo good - just the right amount of chew and sweetnesses. I’m definitely going to order from Monica again!
