A Little Imagination Cakes

ng, finding out our likes/dislikes, and a few laughs later, Hope took our ideas and used her insight to draft the perfect cake for our reception. Not only was it exactly what we wanted on paper, but Hope was able to execute the cake successfully for our reception! Multiple guests told us how delicious the cookies and cream cake was and it looked beautiful. I would highly recommend Hope to other brides to make their day even more incredible!!

n mind, just an overall feeling we wanted to convey thoughout the wedding. With noting but our wedding colors and our answers to a few questions, Hope was able to sketch out the perfect cake (and it Looked JUST like the sketch on our big day!!) The flavors were amazing and the cakes were moist and delicious! we'd reccomend A Little Imagination cakes for all your cakey needs!

ing over Christmas. She was so accommodating and very responsive to emails. Not only was Hope amazing, but her cake was as well. I gave her a picture to work off of and she sketched it up and the final product looked just like the picture I had given her! The flavor was out of this world! Thank you so much Hope for making this process of the wedding planning so easy!!

cake and cupcakes came out beautiful and just as we had imagined! I would highly recommend Hope to design your wedding cake!

xagon three-tiered cake! How cool! She then made a special cake for our ring bears because they have food allergies! Hope was prompt, professional and creative! I could not ask for a better experience and I would recommend A Little Imagination Cakes a million time over! Thank you so much for making our wedding day dreams come true!!!!

g!! First, they were delicious. We had a great tasting where we could select the flavor combinations. Our guests are still raving about how yummy they were. Second, they were decorated in the cutest fall theme that totally fit our wedding theme. And the table setup was great. Everyone was talking about it. They were all on cute bark pedastels of different tiers and all along the table. Everyone was taking pictures. I would recommend A Little Imagination Cakes to everyone. Very reasonable and delicious. You get what you want!!

dding were AMAZING. Our guests could not get enough...literally. They went up multiple times to get another taste of Hope's cupcakes. We couldn't have asked for a better company to work with.

he delivered the first one, we had chillbumps! Her attention to detail is outstanding. She also offers so many flavors, you're sure to find several you'll like. One of our cakes was red velvet and a favorite. Very much recommend A Little Imagination Cakes.

k with the entire time. And she really delivered on the cake! I brought her a photo of what I wanted the cake to look like and the one she made was even more beautiful than the photograph. And it was delicious! The guests loved it and I'm still enjoying the leftovers!

delicious cake ever. My husband was deployed at the time of the meeting and had his first bite at the wedding and could not stop raving about how well it tasted - and he is picky about cakes. You will not be disappointed! -Carole, Connecticut

nd a cake decorator who would take our dreams and make them a reality. We were looking for a woodsy realistic tree-trunk cake. Our consultation was so easy. Hope gave us cake samples to try and it was sooo hard to pick just two for our cake (we ended up with Thai Iced Tea with vanilla icing and Devils Food cake with Peanut Butter Ganache). Hope asked us about our wedding theme, and what we wanted our cake to look like, and came up with an idea and quick sketch to show us right then and there. Her ideas brought our vision to life. The moment I saw our wedding cake in person, I was shocked at how amazing and perfect it came out. It looked like REAL tree trunks. Amazing! I did not want our cake tasting to end because the cake was so delicious. I could have eaten the whole thing in one sitting! We are so happy to have chosen Hope and her company for our wedding cake. If you are up in the air about hiring her, take my advice and DO IT! You will not be dissapointed!

le imagination cakes. We were hooked once we met with Hope, tasted and talked design. Hope was able to design a cake that was almost to pretty to eat. One of the nice things was that my now mother in law surprised me with a bridal shower cake from her and Hope made sure the incorporate a few touches from our design into the shower cake. Thank you and sorry for taking so long to review you.

ntimental value. Her mastery allowed her to keep the groom's cake a secret from my, now, husband at every meeting!! Can you believe it? We actually talked about two cakes and he never knew!! I was more than pleased with her services and so were my guests. Everyone raved about the cake and I actually had more than one piece!!! Thank you so much Hope!!! We really enjoyed our cakes and had leftovers!!!

n Cakes. During our planning meeting, we had the chance to show her a few of the ideas we had in mind for design ideas, all while sampling, of course. She had a few cake flavors to sample, along with a few fillings, and buttercream. We were able to mix and match, putting together our top combination of flavors. By the end of the session, she had a sketch ready for us. On the wedding day, one of my bridesmaids came running upstairs shouting, “OMG, your cake is AMAZING.” True story, our cake made it to Instagram before we did. The design was even better than we could have imagined (all glitter!), and guests continue to rave about how delicious it was. No saving the top layer for a year later– we brought it with us on our mini-moon, ordered room service champagne, and ate it for breakfast. Perfect way to start the day! Not just your standard "wedding cake," so much better. Thank you Hope!

al day perfect. Everyone at the wedding commented on the gorgeous cake and then couldn't believe how delicious it was, too! Hope has certainly eared a customer for life with us! We could not be happier and would not change a single thing. Thank you Hope for making our dream cake!!!!!!

nd I was just floored by the beauty and detail in her work. I knew that she was who I wanted to make my wedding cake. I work in the art field and as a very detail-oriented person (and as a bride with cake pretty high on my priority list) I had very specific vision of what I wanted my cake to be. I wanted a bright, artistic, watercolor cake with ruffles, and Hope sure delivered. She was genuinely interested and excited in my ideas, and once she whipped out her shoebox of colored pencils to start sketching, I knew she was the perfect fit for me. Hope’s cake was very tasty and her prices were super reasonable for the level of artistic detail involved. She was easy to work and communicate with, was very receptive to my ideas and also offered her professional opinion. I decided to do cake and cupcakes because hubby and I loved too many flavors- we had red velvet/chocolate mousse, lemon/vanilla buttercream, and coconut/coconut. I was completely confident in her abilities, but was still amazed by how gorgeous AND tasty my cake was. Hope hit it out of the park—it was completely perfect. We got so many compliments on how fantastic the cake was. I highly, highly recommend A Little Imagination Cakes to any bride who wants a cake that is equal parts gorgeous and delicious.

e exactly what we were looking for. Our cake was not only beautiful but delicious. I would definitely work with her again. Thank you Hope!

sy to work with, a lot of fun and always professional. Her ideas and suggestions brought our idea to life and we are thankful.

écor that was done so perfectly with this cake. It was the perfect amount of spooky and romantic. Thank you Hope!

hat the deliciousness is the most remarkable since a decorated cake is a balance between edibility and structural integrity - tasty cake is light, spongy, and moist - stable cake is dense, stiff, and dry. Often highly decorated cakes like wedding cakes prioritize stability and the resulting product leaves guests grateful for a sliver sized portion. It's a frequent enough issue that when shopping around for a cake we considered the possibility of having a purely decorative cake and then feeding the guests using a sheet cake to avoid it. Our 'A Little Imagination Cakes' wedding cake, however, fulfilled both the "look good" and "taste good" roles to an exceptional degree that had both of us quite pleased. My one minor quibble would be that Hope, from what I can tell, is a very easy-going and laid-back type person. This can either be a blessing or a potential cause of worry given the temperament of the customer. If you have a neurotic bride like I did, you might find yourself having to make some calls just to make sure everything is on track. I can assure you that you needn't worry, but if your bride was like mine, you'll probably find yourself having to make that call anyways, 'regardless of what some idiot on the internet says'. TL:DR - Overall, we rate the experience very highly and recommend this vendor. We had many flavors to choose from and the ones we picked were awesome. The cake was decorated exactly as we had envisioned and the price was far lower than the competitors.

our crazy ideas to life and helping us to showcase our uniqueness in cake. We are excited to see the photos so we can show off your fantastic and crazy creation. Thank you so very much for creating our wedding cake! K&C

ything come the wedding day.

e--I wasn't a bride that was really into wedding planning, but Hope took my lack of opinion in total stride (I had no idea what colors I wanted, what kind of cake, how many tiers, what flavors, etc etc). She gently led me down the path to picking the *perfect* cake. It fit our decor (hand-sewn bunting everywhere at a tented reception) and she literally made tons of little bunting flags and strung them on the cake. It blew my mind and made me cry it was so perfect! She took minor venue snafus in stride as well (they didn't have a table ready for her when she delivered the cake) and was just totally professional in every way. It was seriously a highlight of the wedding. I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation.

anted. She made us a Portal-themed cake, and it looked and tasted phenomenal. We're very happy that we chose ALIC.

only looked like Selma, but she tasted great too!! Great job.

how I wanted the cupcakes to look. I wanted half to be covered in sunflowers. I wanted the middles to be large because otherwise it would look like a daisy or a "black-eyed susan" so I showed her many pictures of what I wanted. I said more than once that the middles need to be large and the petals small so it will look like a sunflower. She said there was no issue at all and she would make sure the flowers were sunflowers not daisies. Also in one of the pictures I showed her she really liked the cupcake stand and said she would recreate the stand for us to use the day of the wedding. That made me even more excited. Well fast forward to the day of the wedding. I walked into the reception and was so upset by what I saw. The cupcakes had daisies on them. Yellow petals and dark brown middles but skinny yellow petals and small brown middles. Exactly what I said I didn't want. I was so upset. And on top of that the stand looked horrible. The stand in the picture had wood circles as the shelves and was trimmed in dried grape vine. This stand had one piece of wood as the top shelf and the rest of the shelves were bright white plastic with the grape vine wrapped around which made it look cheap and tacky. The cupcakes were there and on time. The cake tasted fine, not really as good as the tasting but honestly what matters to me was the sunflowers. I talked my husband into going with a more expensive cake baker who was not even close to our town because I was sure that she would do a better job. Our wedding was on a tight budget but I wanted to spend the money on our cake. And it was the biggest and only dissapointment of the day.

ations, there was the usual discussion about what I'm looking for, then they would show me more pictures of their work and would ask if I wanted something similar to specific photos they were showing me. With Hope, I showed her my inspiration images/discussed what I wanted and she immediately grabbed her pencil and paper and got to work at drawing the a picture of exactly what I wanted as if she had read my mind. She designed three different cakes- 1 large and 2 smaller with lace/peonies/pearls/ruffles and then a bunch of cupcakes to be arranged all around the cakes(by having cupcakes- I was able to save a lot of money instead of having the cakes large enough to serve all of the guests). Her cakes were also absolutely delicious- my guy wasn't able to make the consultation and she sent me home with huge pieces for him to try(automatic thumbs up in our book ;-) ) Not only was she able to draw my vision, but she completely delivered on my wedding day and made an absolutely beautiful wedding cakes/cupcakes that my guests couldn't stop raving about! She took my entire vision and brought it to life and I cannot thank her enough for making the perfect cake- A Little Imagination Cakes rocks!!!

for us and they were AMAZING, both in taste and in presentation. She is definitely a perfectionist! In addition to her making my wedding day that much better, she also just fielded a wild phone call from me today...my realization that my 1st anniversary was this coming Sunday reminded me that I never picked up my little cake that she had made for us. She then told me that her freezer had broken down over the summer and she lost a number of cakes that were being stored in there :( Then, without hesitation, she said, "I am making pumpkin cupcakes today, so let me just make your cake for you and you can pick it up!" AMAZING. BOOK HER WHILE YOU CAN!!!!! Erika - Cheshire CT

ugh we only wanted a small cake for cutting, (dessert was officially strawberry shortcake) Hope was willing to take us on and designed a 3-tier, 3 flavored masterpiece on a small scale. She truly went above and beyond, going to far as to deliver our cake to our venue to save us a pick up trip. I would recommend A Little Imagination to any bride- delicious, beautiful cakes, and SO fun to work with!

n cake didn't look how I pictured it out to be. Grooms cake looked awesome.

Hope a great vendor to work with. She was a little tough to get in touch with at times, but to be honest, it didn't really bother me that much. Plus, her work is SO AMAZING that it was totally worth a few extra phone calls! Her fondant is made of marshmallow, and I had several folks tell me that hers was the only wedding cake (with fondant) that they had that was really tasty! And on top of the original cake designs, her sugar peonies were amazing! I would recommend Hope to anyone looking for a creative or unusual wedding cake.

on a Harley in a lab coat (3-D). She explained a tilted sheet cake that would look like the open road, with the penguin/Harley riding on top. In the mean time my mom decided to surprise me with a cake as well, so she ordered from them. That cake exactly matched the picture I had sent her of a ruffle style cake, just with purple instead of pink. I think they changed the shape of the groom's cake to match, but I was never consulted about this. In the end both were great, and people definitely smiled. We had penguin toppers on the traditional cake which were also adorable. Both cakes were delicious and people seemed to enjoy them, even competing alongside and ice cream bar, Italian cookies and Indian sweets. We were definitely happy with the overall product. I just wish a phone call had been made before changing the design.

onderful it tasted and looked. In my opinion, there is not a better bakery around than A Little Imagination Cakes!

great surprise to have something special for him that brought his favorite cartoon to life. A Little Imagination Cakes did a great job designing a cake that brought all of the elements to life and the cake itself was tasty. Visually, the cake was a work of art and hubby was pleasantly surprised! I would definitely recommend them!

UNTIL.... I had the AMAZING and fortunate opportunity to work with Hope on a secondary photoshoot using another wedding cake. WHAT AN UTTERLY FABULOUS JOB SHE DID WITH THE IDEAS THAT WE GAVE HER!!! I look back now and desperately wish that I had known about Hope and her services for my actual wedding day. My husband and I had a comic book themed wedding, and I've got to say - she BROUGHT IT TO LIFE! From the Batman head as the top of the cake, to the Superman cape in the middle tier and ALL the amazingly intricate details of putting our comic book invitation ON the actual cake itself! COMPLETELY blown away. Puts my "wedding package cake" to utter shame! Brides, if you are looking for a way to WOW your guests, HOPE is the one to go to! She is super friendly and sweet and a breeze to work with. NOT to mention that the cake was DELICIOUS too! I hope to be able to work with her again in the future. DON'T STICK WITH THE PACKAGE CAKE - GO WITH HOPE!!! SHE IS THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS!!!

ect. We did end up having some left over and it was still delicious over a week after the wedding!

fordable. My guests were so impressed when they saw my cake was made to look like my dress!

e from my groom. Not only did I love working with Hope, but I look forward to any future events that would allow me to work with her again. Highly recommend!

decorations on them. We are already having trouble waiting the full year before we can eat the last 2 in the freezer.

ble to sketch out a lovely birds and branches themed cupcake tower which the guests loved! We had three flavors: thai iced tea, coconut lime, and lemon raspberry. She has a lot of options and is very adaptable to your theme -- on top of being reasonably priced. I'd highly recommend for brides and for other events (I saw her cakes for kids birthday parties etc, they look almost too good to eat!)

you looking for a unique and tasty cake for any type of event.

part WICKED the Musical and part Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It was a fun surprise and everyone loved it. It also was delicious! Chocolate through and through to compliment our white and raspberry wedding cake. If you want traditional or off beat I would suggest checking out A Little Imagination Cakes. I have also used Hope for work events. Great service and a great product.
