I would highly recommend A Little Imagination Cakes to everyone! Hope was extremely helpful in guiding our decision process; we had no idea what we wanted our cake to look like and she designed something that was perfect! The tasting was great, there were so many options (all of which were delicious) and we decided on multiple flavors of cupcakes in addition to a small cake for us to cut. Hope was so professional and friendly, she touched base with us several times before the date to ensure all the details were ironed out. The small cake was simple and elegant and was perfect for us; the cupcakes were so cute and all of our guests raved about how delicious they were!
Very disappointed with the outcome of my came .Little imagaination cake do not have good customer service and do not deliver well.Their cake is not as good not well designed as they portray on their site.Please do not waste your money or time with this company because you will be disappointed and your money will go down the drain without any compassion .
All the best--
Our cake was amazing! Hope did such an amazing job creating our vision on our cake. The silhouettes of us and the story on each tier came out so great. We love how she combined our two favorite flavors of cake and alternated them on each tier. The cake was delicious and our guest loved it. They are still talking about how amazing it was!
We got our wedding cake from Hope. It was probably the most delicious cake ever and was so beautiful! The bottom of our 60 guest cake was hand painted with purple sugar flowers. The top, which is our anniversary layer, was a Tardis from Doctor Who. Our flavors were chocolate raspberry and cherry amaretto with an amaretto buttercream. The cake was wonderful, on time and perfect and we couldn't have asked for anything more amazing!
Hope was phenomenal! Our theme was books and tea, and when we went to speak with Hope she immediately took our ideas and ran with them to create us an amazing cake that was a piece of art. She made a teapot of cake and fondant so amazing for the top layer that some people didn't realize it was cake rather than a real tea pot. The stacked books for the lower layers were beautifully designed. To match how amazing it looked, it tasted just as good. We had chocolate cake with cookies and cream mousse for one layer, and french vanilla cake with strawberry filling for the other. I honestly couldn't say which was better. Whether you are looking for a traditional cake or something a little more unusual, as we were, I firmly believe Hope could create it. Couldn't have been happier!
Hope was very friendly and great to work with. When we first sat down to meet with Hope, we had a few ideas but no real vision on what we would want for our cake. After brainstorming, 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!!
Amazing! From our first meeting to eating our beautiful cake on our weding day, working with Hope at A Little Imagination Cakes was wonderful. We came in with no specific design in 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!
Working with Hope at A Little Imagination Cakes could not have been easier! I was out of state planning a CT wedding and Hope was extremely flexible so that I could schedule a tasting 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!!
WOW My guests all thought it was the best cake they ever had at a wedding. It was beautiful and tasted just as delicious! Give them a call and you won't be disappointed
Hope was so wonderful to work with during our planning process. Not only do her cakes taste absolutely amazing, but she is so creative and willing to design anything you want. Our cake and cupcakes came out beautiful and just as we had imagined! I would highly recommend Hope to design your wedding cake!
A Little Imagination Cake used A LOT of Imagination. I mean: Hope followed my theme, but when I asked for something 'different' as well, she went for it! She even created a hexagon 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!!!!

One of the best! We decided to go with cupcakes for our wedding this October because it was cheaper. We went with 150 of 3 types of cupcakes with fall decorations. They were amazing!! 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!!
Hope was amazing. First, she was extremely easy to work with and had a lot of different ideas based on what we were looking for. Second, the actual cake/cupcakes we had at our wedding 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.
In addition to 5 tier wedding cake, we ordered 2 groom's cakes that definitely were specialty cakes. We gave some basic sketches and Hope Wright created extraordinary cakes. When she 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.
I used A Little Imagination for a grooms cake. It looked amazing and tasted fabulous. Great decision!
We loved everything about A Little Imagination Cakes. Working with Hope was very easy. She set up a fantastic tasting and was very receptive to our ideas. She was super easy to work 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!
Fantastic cake, looked and tasted great, guests very happy. Couldn't have asked for more for the price. Thanks!
I went to Hope from A Little Imagination Cakes for my June 2014 wedding. When I met her, I came with a few ideas, and she ran away with it and made the most beautiful, classic, and 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!

From the first email, to our consultation, to our wedding itself, Hope Wright from A Little Imagination Cakes by far surpassed our expectations. We looked around for a while to find 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!
Our caterer suggested two different bakers to us, andboth of them were a disappointment for us. We knew we wanted something different and figured it was worth a shot to try a little 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.
Hope designed the perfect wedding cakes!!! Every detail was perfected and the taste was amazing. Our wedding cake was just the beginning, Hope made a groom’s cake that had great sentimental 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!!!
I am still dreaming about my wedding cake. Four tiers of sugared glittery perfection. Obsessed. From start to finish, we had an amazing experience with Hope and A Little Imagination 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!
From our first meeting to the delivery of our cake- Hope was fantastic to work with! Her professionalism, creativity and ability to create exactly what we dreamed of made our special 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!!!!!!
There aren’t enough words to describe how thrilled I was with A Little Imagination Cakes and their work on my 9/21 wedding cake. I met Hope at the Hartford Bridal Expo last year and 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.
After meeting Hope I knew that our cake would be perfect. She was wonderful to work with and made the process fun and stress free. We gave her a few ideas and she was able to create exactly what we were looking for. Our cake was not only beautiful but delicious. I would definitely work with her again. Thank you Hope!
We loved everything about our wedding cake! Not only was it a showstopper, but it also tasted fantastic. To be honest, we ate all of our left overs in the hotel room. Hope was easy to work with, a lot of fun and always professional. Her ideas and suggestions brought our idea to life and we are thankful.
I had such a great experience with Hope at Imagination. Our cake was incredible, and she pulled off a beautiful groomsmen's cake as well! Everyone was buzzing about our Halloween décor that was done so perfectly with this cake. It was the perfect amount of spooky and romantic. Thank you Hope!
Our cake turned out beautifully and exactly to our specifications. We received numerous compliments on both its appearance as well as how delicious it was.
I personally feel that 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.
We were very happy with our cake! Hope is an amazing cake designer, and created a sculpture out of sugar & cake and our guests were amazed and fascinated. Thank you for bringing 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
Working with hope was an easy decision, the cakes are beautiful, she is extremely flexible and can make whatever time of cake you can think of, and we didn't have to worry about anything come the wedding day.
Hope made our wedding cake, and it was gorgeous *and* delicious! Seriously, everyone raved about it. But perhaps the best experience was meeting with Hope and talking about our cake--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.
My wife and I were married this past August and we chose A Little Imagination Cakes to make our wedding cake. Hope was very professional and took great care in making the cake we wanted. She made us a Portal-themed cake, and it looked and tasted phenomenal. We're very happy that we chose ALIC.
We asked Hope to create a black lab cake that would actually look like it was eating the wedding cake!What a surprise for the groom when he saw his dog at the wedding! The cake not only looked like Selma, but she tasted great too!! Great job.
My husband and I met with Hope before our wedding for a tasting. The cakes we tasted was very good and she seemed very nice. We decided on cupcakes and I was very very specific on 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.
After narrowing down my top 3 bakers based off of reviews/online portfolios- I knew very quickly into meeting Hope that I would want her designing my wedding cake! In other consultations, 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!!!
Allowing Hope, the owner/operator of A Little Imagination Cakes, was probably my favorite decision in all of my wedding planning. She made both apple and pumpkin flavored cupcakes 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!!!!!

We had an incredible experience with Hope and ALIC! During our consultation, she drew up a design based on our Art Deco/Southwestern invitation and we immediately fell in love. Though 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!
The only issues we had was our card being charged before it was scheduled to be charged, and it is really hard to get in contact with anyone. Our cakes were delicious, but our main cake didn't look how I pictured it out to be. Grooms cake looked awesome.
I was hoping for several vintage-y wedding cakes and Hope hit the nail on the head. She's got a great sense of humor, is really creative, and is super easy to work with, which made 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.
Originally we were going to have a cake provided by our caterer, but then I wanted a groom's cake. I only talked with A Little Imaginaton over the phone, and I asked for a penguin 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.
Hope outdid herself with my wedding cake. I have used her in the past for parties but the cake for the wedding surpassed all our expectations. Guests are still raving about how wonderful it tasted and looked. In my opinion, there is not a better bakery around than A Little Imagination Cakes!
I went through A Little Imagination Cakes for our groom's cake. My now hubby has an obsession with Dragon Ball Z, an anime cartoon (I know, I know)... and I thought it would be a 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!
I was married on April 22, 2012 and had a wedding cake included as part of my wedding package. At the time, I was happy with what I had (a very basic cake with our monogram on it) 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!!!
Our cake came out beautiful and was delicious. Hope worked with us to determine our exact design and help us to figure out what was best for our wedding and the cake came out perfect. We did end up having some left over and it was still delicious over a week after the wedding!
Hope is awesome, she is a true artist and knew exactly what I wanted when even i wasn't completely sure! Cake was beautiful, creative and absolutely delicious. Best yet, it was affordable. My guests were so impressed when they saw my cake was made to look like my dress!
Hope is amazingly talented - not only did we hire her for our wedding cake, but I also commissioned her to create a one-of-a-kind groom's cake for our rehearsal dinner as a surprise 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!
Our cupcakes from A Little Imagination Cakes were beautiful and delicious. We could not have asked for more. We had a nature theme, each cupcake had flowers and beautiful outdoorsy decorations on them. We are already having trouble waiting the full year before we can eat the last 2 in the freezer.
Hope is a very talented baker that can put together a bride's vision. I had gone in for a tasting with a vague idea with what I liked and wanted. Through our conversation she was able 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!)
Hope did a wonderful job on our cake as it was a mad hatters themed wedding. It looked and tasted fantastic and I would definitely recommend a little imagination cakes to those of you looking for a unique and tasty cake for any type of event.
My surprise for my wife was an awesome birthday cake as we got married on her 35th bday. Hope met all my expectations. We also has a wedding cake - but the cake that Hope made was 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.
We are so glad that we found Hope and A Little Imagination Cakes. We were losing hope that we would find someone that would get our theme for our wedding since we had visited with 3 other bakers that were very ho-hum about it. Our theme was Walt Disney Worlds Haunted Mansion. When we met with Hope for a consultation and tasting, not only did she know what it was but she had also researched it and had pictures loaded to her computer. She was the first person to be excited about it. Hope helped us pull together what elements we wanted to highlight and how they could be done with cupcakes. When we left Hope we finally had a good feeling that someone “got” us.
When we saw our cupcakes at the wedding we were amazed. We never could have imagined that someone could do such awesome decorations on cupcakes that were spot on with our theme. Not only were they beautiful but they tasted amazing, the whole room that they were in smelled like chocolate and peanut butter. The chocolate cake was moist and flavorful, and the peanut butter ganache was creamy but didn’t overpower the cake.
I would definitely recommend Hope to anyone having an event in Connecticut. She was super reasonable with pricing and delivery for us.
The only thing I wish was that Hope had a store front so I could go there every weekend and get cupcakes from her all the time.
A Little Imagination Cakes is hands down the best place to get your wedding cake. The amount of detail that Hope puts into the cake will blow your mind away. Guests from my wedding are still talking about how amazing my cake looked. Her cakes not only look great but they also taste great. I was also so impressed with how professional she was to work with. A Little Imagination Cakes is the best place to go for a wedding cake.
My wedding cake from A Little Imagination Cakes was everything I was looking for... gorgeous, delicious, custom designed, and the source of compliments for weeks to come. Working with A Little Imagination Cakes was fantastic from start to finish. I knew that I wanted my cake to look like my wedding dress, but wasn't sure what that would entail. By the end of our consultation, Hope had drawn up a sketch that already exceeded my vision. On my big day, the actual cake was even more wonderful than I imagined. It was so beautiful that I felt horrible cutting into it - until I remembered that meant I would get to eat it, that is. It was DELICIOUS. Hope was professional and helpful throughout the process, and the cake was everything I could have wanted and more. 5 stars!
Hope can seriously make a cake into anything you can think up. She made us a delicious cake and it came out fantastic! Everyone loved it. Thank you so much for making a completely random idea for a cake and adding your own twist on it. We loved it!
My son surprised me for my 50th Birthday with a cake from A Little Imagination Cakes. He knew I was a big fan of 'Cake Boss' and in particular, one cake that was a part of their opening segment before the show. He sent Hope the video with the precise 'minutes' where my favorite cake appears and sent it to her. The cake was exactly like the picture with flowers so realistic, you wouldn't believe they were sugar flowers. It was gorgeous (everyone was in awe) and delicious and Hope is just wonderful, creative and professional. I'm not one to give compliments but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her. She's in a class of her own.
We loved A Little Imagination Cakes! Hope really listens to what you want, and makes suggestions when needed (take her suggestions, by the way! She has such a unique vision!) The cake not only looks like a piece of art, but it tastes delicious! A tad expensive, but to be expected knowing the quality of work that she does.
How funny that Hope and A little Imagination cakes are on top of the list of wedding cake people (i know its in alphabetical order, but thats exactly where i would put her, at the top!!) Not only does she have amazing and creative flavors, but the cake itself was gorgeous. She even made a sketch of what it would look like while we sat in her office devouring the 5 in. round sample cakes she made especially for us (and got to take the extras home!)! Even though her Dad was ill and in the hospital she still made sure the cake made it to the HUMID reception and was in perfect condition for the photos and cutting. She also made our cookie favors in the shape of leaves (part of our theme) and wrapped them and put tags on them. I'm so happy people forgot to take them becuase i'm LOVING eating the leftovers! Thank you Hope for everything - you really are amazing!!
Hope is amazing! I knew when I saw her cakes online she would do an amazing job, and they were ridiculously delicious as well, and I really liked the marshmallow fondant too!
I used A Little Imagination Cakes for the groom's cake. Hope was wonderful. I gave her a few of the ideas I was thinking of and she was excited to try a style she had not worked with yet. I did not get to see the cake until it was presented at the ceremony and it was great. I would have thought they could have placed it on a colored board or matched the theme because it was just sitting on a piece of wood colored board... it took away from the cake a little bit. The cake tasted great and looked good besides that. I worked soley through email and telephone which I was a little skeptical of at first but it went through just fine! They provide a good service and are reliable.
Little Imagination Cakes was a joy to work with! They created something so perfectly "us" from our input and their awesome creativity and talent. Not only was the cake beautiful and interesting, it was absolutley delicious! Our wedding photographer even said it was the best wedding cake she'd ever tasted, and she's been to a LOT of weddings.
EVEN YESTERDAY, 3 WEEKS AFTER THE WEDING PEOPLE ARE STILL TALKING ABOUT THE CAKE. HOPE IS A GENIUS! WHEN WE INTITALLY MET, WE WERE THROWING OUT IDEAS WHILE SHE SAT AND SKETCHED AND VOILA! SHE CREATED A MASTERPIECE. FROM THE DESIGN, THE USE OF REAL FLOWERS, TO THE DELICIOUS FLAVORS(CHOCOLATE AND LEMON) THE CAKE WAS TO DIE FOR. NOT ONLY WAS IT TOO PRETTY TO CUT AND EAT, BUT THE THICKNESS OF THE SLICE/LAYERS, AND THE MOISTNESS OF THE CAKE WAS UNBELIEVABLE! GREAT JOB!
When looking for a cake baker, we knew that we wanted something a little different. When we found A Little Imagination Cakes' website, we knew this is where we would be getting our cake.
Hope and her team are so easy to work with. We had an initial meeting and tasting and worked out what we were looking for. As we talked, Hope was sketching. As soon as we finished our thoughts, she had it on paper! It was perfect. She was even accomodating when I changed my mind on the size of the cake with less than a month to go.
Our cake consisted of two flavors- vanilla orange and cookies and cream. Both were delicious and got so many compliments!
We will be recommending Hope and her team to anyone who will listen!
It was Hope's website that first got me excited about setting up a meeting with her. It was professional, whimsical, and FUN!
After meeting with her, we cancelled our final cake appointment for that weekend, and booked her that night.
I was not willing to compromise on look or taste, and Hope provided us with an extremely beautiful vintage style cake in our colors, that tasted WONDERFUL. We gave her some creative freedom, and she made our cake a work of art.
Occasionally, I had a hard time getting responses via email, but I' sure if I would have picked up the phone, Hope would have been there to answer my questions on the spot. She is wonderful! We are hoping to take one of her cupcake decorating classes in the future!
Hope is absolutely wonderful! We did a non-traditional cupcake tower for our wedding and people are still raving about it! She listened to everything we were looking for and delivered 100%. Not only was the presentation unbelievable but the cupcakes were DELICIOUS! I would recommend ALIC to anyone looking for the perfect cake (or cupcakes) for their dream wedding!
We met with Hope and told her that we wanted a CRAZY, Nontraditional, Abstract and Fun cake.......man did she deliver.
We did not want a traditional tiered cake and Hope was able to give us a cake that you would see on the Food Networks Cake Challenge TV show.
The price she gave us for the quality and style of the cake was worth every penny.
I highly recommend A Little Imagination Cakes if you want something unique and imaginative.
I am a firefighter and we wanted a helmet for a cake, I took pictures of the helmet and she replicated it. I was stunned when I saw the detail and how close the helmet looked like mine. I didn't want to cut into it, it looked so good. I also had it made from carrot cake and it was delicious.
