Sweet Bakery was very easy to work with!! They were very helpful when we were working on what kind of cake we wanted and how we wanted it designed! We had no issues with them. The price was average, we had a three tier cake for 120 ppl. We'll be returning to them for future cake needs for sure! Thanks Sweet Bakery!

The one requirement we had for our wedding cake was that it taste great, and Sweet Bakery has the best wedding cake around! We had two flavor combinations in our cake, and both were tasty (the lemon cake with vanilla cream mousse was the winner). Plus the frosting was the best I think I've ever tasted. We brought in a picture of a cake we liked for the design, and they almost matched it perfectly. The only issue was that in the picture there were small dots cascading delicately down the sides, which were fondant dots. We asked them to use buttercream, since fondant is so hard you could easily break a tooth on it! They did, except the dots were much larger, so they weren't very delicate, and they were also on the tops of the cakes. Not a big deal, and one probably only we noticed since it was not exactly what we envisioned, and they should have alerted us it would be different (e.g. the dots would have to be significantly larger). They also don't offer a 1-year anniversary cake as part of the package, which other wedding cake vendors do. Bottom line, the cake tasted fabulous, and many of our guests asked where it was from so they could order one!

I had contacted Sweet Bakery regarding a grooms cake for our rehearsal dinner. I had initially contacted them about the cake about 2 years ago and despite changes to our wedding plans and them relocating, they still had all the original information I provided them at our initial meeting. The grooms cake came out perfectly, which was my fiances green rock crawler made to look like it was climbing up a mountain with both of us in it. Everybody was so impressed with the look of the cake but also raved about how great it tasted The staff was always pleasant to speak with on the phone and they were very helpful with coordinating all the details. I even received a phone call a few days before the rehearsal to ensure that our hair color was still the same as it appeared in a picture I provdied them at our initial meeting. Talk about attention to detail! I am so happy with the final product and know that if I ever need a specialty cake againI will not hestitate to return to Sweet Bakery. Thanks so much!

Sweet Bakery was great! We had our wedding at Overhills Mansion, and Sweet Bakery had worked with them many times before. The tasting was fun, and the process went very smoothly. We wanted to have a yellow cake with chocolate icing, with fun and whimsical decorations. Unlike other bakeries we had tried, the staff was not pretentious and was more than wiling to work with us. They were friendly and down-to-earth. Sweet Bakery went above and beyond our expectations, and the cake was absolutely delish! We got TONS of compliments on it. I'd definitely recommend them.

This was an absolutely delicious cake! The design was unique but decorations were a little off from what we discussed but not a lot. They used color swatches to match our icing to the wedding color and were easy to work with.

My now husband and I had different cake tasting and we both agreed that Sweets had the tastiest cake. We booked with them immediately and had their designer sketch a simple and elegant cake. In between the time we booked and our wedding day, our designer left. So I had to go back to Sweets and go over our cake order with their baker again. They were very nice to accommodate me and meet with me, which I really appreciated. Our cake was not the best decorated cake out there... I thought the icing was quite sloppy. But it was the most delicious cake ever. We had many compliments about our cake (rum and spice flavors). One guest even stopped me in the middle of the dance floor to rave about the cake!

Ever since I was a little girl, I have stated that my wedding cake would not be the traditional vanilla icing and would instead be my favorite chocolate icing. Well, Sweet bakery turned my childhood wish into a reality with an amazing almond cake with chocolate mousse filing and chocolate butter-cream icing. It was delicious. The whole experience with Sweet was amazing. The cake was a part of my package with the hotel and so I just e-mailed them several months before the wedding for a tasting. We went there and were surprised to be able to try so many different kinds of cake/icing variations and to have someone from Sweet guide us the whole way with the design and such. I also brought my cake-topper to Sweet and they kept it for the several months to include on the wedding. The cake delivery on the actual wedding day went on without a hitch and I really did not have to worry about my cake after that tasting appointment. Because the cake was so good, my husband and I actually ate our leftovers after the wedding and thus will go back to Sweet on our 1 year anniversary for a piece of the same cake. We received many compliments on our cake choice and how delicious it was.

I love this bakery! They were so fantastic in helping us plan our wedding cake. Even though they were in the process of moving, they took the time to meet with us for a cake tasting, draw up a sketch, email it to me and ask about design questions. They were even willing to deliver the cake to our venue, despite it being out-of-delivery-range for their new location (where they would be on the wedding day). I'm glad I contacted them before the move so we were able to use them for our wedding! The cake tasting AMAZING and it looked fantastic as well. I would highly recommend them for your cake needs. Thank you SWEET!

SB was recommended by my caterer/venue. I got a cake and wedding boxed labeled cake as wedding favors. Tracy's design was very much to my liking. There was a little issue with responsiveness but it turns out there was a mix up in the midst of staff change. In any event, once I talked to Tracy, I was at ease. I didn't really know what I wanted, I basically looked to her for suggestions and she brought it. Her drawings and the real thing was on point. Overall I was very pleased. The taste is a no brainer. It was delish

Um. The cake tasted even better than it did at the tasting. Enough said. :) And it was absolutely beautiful (better than I imagined). They were totally flexible about letting us drop the cake topper at the hotel instead of the bakery. Great bakery. Responsive people. Very Flexible. And best of all, the price was right. I definitely recommend Sweet.

Sweet bakery provided our wedding with a beautiful, 4 tier, custom-designed wedding cake with 3 different flavors. Working with Sweet, they were able to design me, down to the littlest detail, my dream wedding cake. We went through several different designs before settling on a final. The staff there are very professional, although I only gave 4 stars for responsiveness because it wasn't always easy to contact them. Granted, they were going through a move during the process, so that definitely could be most of it, but they only have one general email address to contact them. I think it would be better if the different designers/bakers, etc. had individual emails so contact would be a little more personalized. Every time I emailed them, I never knew who was reading it, so addressing them was always a little awkward. The major thing I was disappointed in, and the reason I had to give 3 stars for Quality of Service, was the actual cake on the day of the wedding. The week before, I talked to Sweet about my design, as they were worried the custom base we had originally designed would make the tall cake unstable. I told them to take every creative liberty with the cake in order to make it stable. After all, I'm not a cake designer. They knew my colors, and overall look I wanted, so I trusted that any tweaks they might do would be cohesive. When I walked into my venue an hour and a half before the ceremony started, I immediately noticed that the cake was leaning. I was also informed that unlike originally planned, we would not be able to wheel the cake out to the center of the dance floor for cutting as the cake might fall. I was fine with this, but disappointed that the cake was so obviously leaning. Before the guests were even let in for the ceremony, the venue had to take off the top tier of the cake as it began to lean even more. Overall, it honestly looked fine, and I wasn't upset by the whole thing, but it was more out of principle that I was disappointed in this. I explicitly gave them permission to make the cake stand and it didn't even make it to the ceremony. Especially when you pay so much for a custom cake (that looked completely beautiful by the way), the thing should at least stand up if they tell you it would. If the design was a concern, it should have been changed from the very beginning. My dad did contact Sweet after the wedding to tell them about the design flaw, and they were very quick to offer to amend the situation by assuring us any cake we wanted in the future would be taken care of. They were very professional about the whole thing, and despite the design flaw, I would recommend them. One serious plus was that we chose buttercream over fondant, which I would absolutely recommend, because the cake tasted AMAZING. We even ate slices 2 days later and they were still so moist and delicious. Overall, Sweet is a great bakery, and they do a great job with cakes. I chalk up the design flaw to a fluke that they handled professionally. The cake still looked beautiful and tasted amazing. I would still recommend them to anyone looking for a cake with a wonderful, personal touch.

Everyone loved the cake Sweet made for us. They were forced to move several months before our wedding, but did not increase the delivery charge for the new distance. The consultation went really well, and when we changed our mind on the type of fondant flowers, they were completely on board - and even used my drawing of what we wanted the cake to look like on my contract. It was wonderful looking, and once cut - great tasting. We ordered enough for 75....and it was exactly what we ended up serving. The only regret was that the original contract had said for us to bring 1/2 inch ribbons, which looked a little small on the final cake - and I wished I had bought 1 1/2 inch ribbon instead. They were awesome and we would totally use them again!

The tasting was great. I gave them specific details (which were pretty simple and basic detail requests) and even a picture of what I wanted for the cake. When we saw the cake it was definitely different than the style we wanted. I was disappointed because I even gave them a picture and yet it didn't turn out the way I asked. I spent a lot of money and it is upsetting that they didn't execute it the way I requested them to do so. It still looked pretty but it wasn't the design I asked for. Cake tasted great but the style wasn't what we asked for. They were also in the process of moving to another location so that didn't help as far as communication and trying to reach them. They never even informed me or notified me that they were moving. If I didn't research and find out on my own, I wouldn't have known where they moved the bakery! I would not recommend them because for the money you spend they should listen to what you want especially when you give them an actual picture to follow for the style! Compared to my other wedding vendors (regarding communication, execution, and listening to what we wanted for our special day, etc.) our bakery was at the bottom. I guess i expected more since a lot of my other vendors were so amazing and attentive to us.

Our cake was provided by Sweet, through our contract at the Westin. We were very happy with the bakery and they made everything very simple. We scheduled a tasting where they show you a menu of flavor options and have you pick out your favorites. Then they whip those up and will make any other samples you would like while you are doing the tasting. We had a three tier round butter cream cake with each tier having a different flavor. Our cake design was simple white icing with a pink and yellow sugar flower cascade. The flower colors were a bit brighter than we had requested but it was still very beautiful and tasted great!

Our wedding cake was the best I've tasted at any wedding. I know it was my wedding and I might be a little biased, but everyone couldnt stop talking about how moist and delicious it was. It was excellent!

I was so pleased with our cakes (wedding and grooms cakes). Both were amazing. The groowms cake was so cool and creative!!! Warning, the prices are high but the cake is worth it! Also, be on time for your appointment. They make them back to back and if you are late... they try to send your samples home with you!
