Artistic Desserts

o anywhere else. I can guarantee you that if you go anywhere else you will be disappointed and not get your money’s worth. Our wedding was last Sunday on 9/17/17 and my husband and I could not have been happier or more satisfied! Veronica

was able to create exactly what I wanted. In addition to the quality, Michael was very responsive and even called to check in with me the week before the wedding. My husband and I made our own cake topper and he gave great advice on how to best incorporate that with the cake. We would recommend Artistic Desserts :)

top!

exactly how we had envisioned. I'd definitely recommend using Artistic Desserts!

it was phenomenal! Will definitely be ordering other cakes for Artistic Desserts!

the best cake I've ever had! I highly recommend them!

ating the top tier we were supposed to save for the one year anniversary... oops. Seriously, the cake tasted so good that I received numerous compliments from guests, and I will be purchasing another cake in the same flavor for my husband's upcoming birthday. THAT is how good it was. Book Michael immediately but pack some Spanx for your wedding dress because the cake is gorgeous and irresistible!

have to agree! It was moist, flavorful and the butter cream was light with just the right amount of sweetness. To top it off, Michael helped me to create a Prince themed Groom's cake that was a total hit. I was able to customize the flavor and he even created a chocolate frame with a sugar print out of the artist himself. It was perfect. I would absolutely recommend this vendor to anyone!

have been happier with the experience. It's the easiest vendor choice you have - you can't go wrong with Artistic Desserts!

ome allergies our guests had so he made a smaller cake for me and my husband to have that night. I highly recommend Artisitic Desserts!!

time to taste them and think about what we really wanted. His use of a Webinar to plan the design of my cake was perfect because I was able to communicate with him easily online, at home! He showed me pictures and then came up with a beautiful design to match exactly what I wanted. He even provided a ribbon swatch to match my colors, and added live flowers from the Flourist the day of delivery! He is professional and super easy to communicate with. He will even make us a fresh top layer for our first anniversary at a discounted cost! I highly recommend Artistic Deserts for the best wedding cake you could have.

e experience. He's also prompt and flexible to the couple's needs or wishes. Overall, our wedding cake was beautiful and delicious! Our guests loved the cake and some got a little greedy :-) We can't wait for the one year anniversary to devour our 1st tier. Thank you, Chef Michael for the experience and deliciously fabulous cake!

expectations which were already high. Our tasting was beautiful - not like any other tasting situation I've experienced or seen. He invited us into his home and had a beautiful tea/coffee setup with nice China, and included whole family. He provided us every type of cake he offered, plus a special request someone had asked for that he had extras from so he included that. We were each given a large slice each of every cake, and he made sure to include all of the icing options in them. We couldn't believe how delicious every one of them was. I'm not exaggerating or embellishing here - they were truly some of the best cake any of us have ever had. The icing is just right, and the texture of the cake was perfect. He was extremely accommodating and willing to customize our package to what worked best for us. My family tends to be very thorough and ask way more questions than most, but not only was Micheal patient, he was thorough in his answers and took everything above and beyond! He walked us through to figure out what the best options were for what we needed. He was honest with us too, which is something that is hard to find. He didn't just openly agree with everything we asked for - when he didn't think a combination we mentioned would work well, he spoke up and explained why it wouldn't be the best way to go - though he would be willing to do it if we still wanted it. His suggestions truly came out beautifully and I'm so glad he spoke up! We got so many comments about how beautiful the cake was. Some questioned if it was even a real cake at first! His suggestion of "twinkle dust" really gave it a finishing touch. Guests were raving well beyond the wedding about how delicious it was. We love Michael and will definitely be working with him again in the future.

y delicious. My husband and I have very different tastes but we were both well accommodated. Michael took the time to go through our many different cake design ideas and helped us pick something elegant that also fit well with our venue, theme for the wedding, and colors.

r cake!

ffair as he provided a full table setting for us complete with china, freshly-made coffee and full cake slices (not just samples) to try and discuss together. It was a very elegant and well-presented experience. Michael also had a big display screen which showcased some of his cake creations (all flawless and beautiful) and had samples of Styrofoam cake tiers to help us with visuals. He was super organized during the consultation and went beyond the general experience you have with a cake vendor. He wrote down every detail of our cake vision, asked questions in order to get it right, and worked with us on both our requests and budget. He was also very helpful throughout the planning process. We had a conflict with our cake topper and he was quick to respond and professional yet friendly in sharing with us his suggestions, and he was able to make it work which alleviated some last minute wedding-planning stress! Overall, Michael is tremendous in both the form and function of his cakes. Our wedding cake looked and tasted great. We got so many compliments on it and being the cake lovers we are will never forget how perfect it was!

d his work is impeccable. I spoke with him twice on the phone, and maybe exchanged two emails, and everything was easily settled! We had an easy virtual consultation where he showed us all of the beautiful possibilities on the computer while we were sitting on our own couch. Michael was willing to provide extra details that were not initially included with our venue's cake package because he definitely wants your cake to be special. We had so many guests tell us how delicious our cake was (we had Italian cream with raspberry marmalade and butter cream frosting--amazing!). If you need any more proof of how delicious his cakes are, our dance floor was packed all night, except for when the cake was distributed! If you get a chance to use Artistic Desserts, consider yourself in excellent hands, and you will not be disappointed!

order another cake! Thanks, Michael!

y members (supplied by us). Not only was it amazing to look at, but the cake was one of the best I have ever had (and I have a sweet tooth). Everyone was saying how it was amazing, and I do not feel guilty saying I ate 4 pieces the night of our wedding!

he image became pix-elated and hard to truly identify the details, but Michael was about to work around that and sketch an exact replica. When the cake was delivered it was simply beautiful. The guest remarked on the cakes beauty and taste. A few weeks later I received a phone call from the Michael asking if everything was to my liking. During the conversation it was realized that the top tier of cake traditionally set aside to be eaten at the one year anniversary was not set aside after all. Micheal was very apologetic about this mishap and assured me that he would bake me a new top tier for my anniversary; all I had to do was call him "next year" and remind him of this conversation. I took this as a nice gesture but assumed he would forget and to cut down on confusion and embarrassment, I opted not to follow up "in a year". A year goes by and I change my mind and decide to test the waters and remind him of a long lost top tier that was not set aside. To my surprise Micheal remembered me and the scenario. We went over flavors and he informed me that it would be a basic 6" butter cream cake. I went to pick up my anniversary cake 1 yr later on March 15, 2016 and to my surprise there was my 6" cake with little puffs of butter cream icing decorating the base, a ridging of the butter cream to give a textured appearance, and a "topper" in the shape of flowers and petals made of harden sugar. That was some "basic" cake. I can tell that Artistic Desserts not only stands high on customer service, but they truly love what they do. It was a joy to work with them and would recommend and use them again, and again.

and flavorful! Michael truly went out of his way to create my fairy tale cake. We had a Beauty and the Beast cake topper and Our cake fit right into the theme of the cake topper, it even shimmered! We cannot wait to eat our anniversary cake no less the cakes will will order in the future!

last initial to use fondant to lay on the cake (with no extra charge at that)! I have never eaten a wedding cake that tasted so well. We had at least 50 people after our wedding talk about how amazing the cake was and went out of their way to let us know it was the most amazing wedding cake they had ever eaten in the wedding. Clearly I am partial, but I will recommend Michael and Artistic Desserts for ANY wedding or event and will be contacting him in the future! Taste= A+++ Customer Service= A++ Design/Look= A++

r and everyone including my husband and I are still talking about how delicious the cake was, Oh and by the way my husband doesn't eat cake so if he said if was good this says a lot. Michael was always very professional whenever we spoke and was very accurate with every detail we wanted. I can't wait to celebrate my one year anniversary next year just so I can enjoy it all over again.

ael with a picture of what I wanted and he completely exceeded my expectations. Michael was creative and very easy to work with --I could definitely tell that he is a seasoned professional and that really made me feel at ease. I absolutely love all of the pictures of my cake. And what made my cake even more stellar is that it was delicious! I received many compliments on the cake, and my husband and I indulged so much that we ate a few slices from the top tier days after the wedding that we barely had any left to save for our first anniversary:) I couldn’t have asked for a better cake or chef!

ordinating our final meeting. He made great suggestions which resulted in the most perfect cake for our wedding. It was not only beautiful but SO good...our guests loved it! We are so glad we chose Artistic Desserts - will use him again and again...for any occasion!

I really like how we were able to discuss what I wanted over the phone (I live over an hour away) also the computer program Michael uses allows you to see his computer screen right from your home, no need to download anything it was very simple and fast! thank you again artistic desserts!

icious! I would definitely recommend them!!

ith raspberry and vanilla cream filling and buttercream icing. It was so yummy and our guests absolutely loved it! I recommend Artistic Desserts to anyone who is looking for absolutely the best. The best flavor, beautiful cake design, and best customer service hands down! We even got a follow up phone call and email just to make sure everything was perfect and instructions on how to freeze our top tier. We will definitely be ordering our cakes from Michael in the future! I am one very satisfied and extremely happy bride!

red velvet with cream cheese. The cake was delicious and BEAUTIFUL! I worked with Michael directly to order waterproof ribbon to add to the cake. We could not have been more pleased with the cake! It was exactly what we wanted and really, really looked beautiful! We have our top layer for the anniversary as Michael gave us a small topper in addition to the actual cake (wedding only 70 people). And Michael was so pleasant to work with - congratulated me on our wedding every time we spoke, sent me an email 2 days before reassuring me everything was on track and there would be no hiccups. Highly recommend!!

ey pulled it off beautifully and let's not forget that the two cake flavors we chose were absolutely delicious! Our guests raved!

the details of the cake. I asked him about getting the cake up off the table a few inches. He gave me some options and told me the weight of the cake. A few days before the wedding we spoke again and he had found a six inch thick piece of styrofoam that he had cut into a circle to use as a cake riser. With so many details to take care of the last couple days before the wedding, I was relieved and thanked him endlessly. He went above and beyond to make sure the cake looked exactly the way I wanted. The day of the wedding, when we cut into the cake and fed each other the first two bites, I was in heaven. The Italian cream cake with raspberry filling was AMAZING! Not only did the cake look beautiful, it was the best wedding cake I had ever eaten…and it was my wedding cake. Even a few weeks after the wedding our guests were still talking about the wedding cake! Michael is incredibly talented and has earned the title of my cake guy for life!

ing with him to discuss our plans in detail. It was so nice to not have to drive to another meeting! We had 300+ guests at our wedding and wanted to offer a variety of flavors, so we went with Lemon Cream Cake with Raspberry Cream Fillings for the 4 tier main cake, and then had 4 “strips” of different flavors: Italian Cream Cake with Swiss Raspberry and Vanilla Custard Filling, Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Ganache and Chocolate Mousse Filling, Red Velvet Cake with Bourbon Vanilla Cream Cheese Fillings, and Italian Cream Cake with Reese's Peanut Butter Cup and Milk Chocolate Ganache Fillings. All of our guests were raving over the cakes. Not only were they gorgeously decorated, but they tasted amazing! We highly recommend Michael and Artistic Desserts!

the most delicious cake I have ever had. Michael even accommodated my food allergy to eggs, and made a small egg-less cake for my husband and I to cut into during the reception. Needless to say, my husband and I cut took the time to sit down and eat our cake while the guests danced and carried on with the reception. We did not want to miss out on our cake! And we were so excited because we got to enjoy a few more pieces later that evening in our hotel room. Thank you, Michael, for artfully crafting the most beautiful and delicious wedding cake a bride could ever dream of!

exactly what I envisioned. We received so many compliments from our guests, and several said it was the best wedding cake they have ever had! We had an extra large tier left over after the wedding so we donated it to the American Legion in Bel Air for Veterans Day and they were thrilled with it as well. Upon our one year anniversary, we defrosted the top tier and it was still as delicious as on that day! Amazing flavor, technique, and service all around!!

ng! The best red velvet I've ever had! You will not regret hiring Mike to make your cake. His cakes are super delicious!!

re just awesome. We live a little far from westminster, so he setup a video conference call to look at different cake designs and discuss flavors. I also found his cakes to be heavier and have more substance than other places I tried.

of his work, and had a thorough (and delicious) display of cakes and fillings for us to sample. I am gluten sensitive, and he provided me with a gluten-free chocolate cake to try. I've eat a lot of "gluten-free" bakery products, and this cake was so much better than store-bought or boxed versions - it was dense, moist and didn't crumble and fall apart like most of other products do. We had several other people at our wedding who are also gluten sensitive/intolerant, so Michael provided us with a separate gluten-free cake as well as a gluten-free top layer for my husband and I to take home and eat. The fillings and buttercream frosting were all gluten-free, and they tasted incredible!! In terms of the rest of the layered cake, it was amazing! We heard great feedback from many of our guests on the taste, and it looked exactly how I had imagined it. Michael was open to all of our ideas, and he was very flexible with and accommodating to us when our guest count changed in the months leading up to our wedding. The delivery to the venue was on time, and he worked with our florist on-site to set up the flowers on each of the cake layers. I was 100% confident in him based on our interactions with him and the consistently great reviews, and that confidence was absolutely justified. I would highly recommend Michael for any other wedding or event, and I'm certainly keeping his number on hand for our next celebration!

ur other bakery and went with Michael. We were so pleased with our cake and would strongly recommend Artistic Desserts to anyone needing a cake for a special occasion.

ave another piece of cake LOL! We chose the Italian Dream flavor for one tier, and the chocolate cake with chocolate ganache filling for the other two and they both are fantastic. You will NOT be disappointed. Michael is a dream to work with and so is the cake!

options. Artistic Desserts did a great job of communicating with us and our caterers, and accommodated some last minute requests. I'd highly recommend them!

le tier was dark chocolate cake and chocolate mousse filling. We had so many compliments on the cake - the Italian cream/raspberry cake was the hands down favorite of all of our guests.

die for. Not only did his cake taste great but it was beautiful too. If you are looking for a wedding cake that will knock your socks off, Michael is your guy!

on the design, and it turned out exactly like I wanted. The cake was beautiful, and it tasted delicious! I wish the venue had let us know that it was being served, because I wasn't aware that it was out and missed it!

delicious and went beyond the typical flavors. It was difficult to choose, so we ended up going with two flavors (alternating tiers, alternating sheet cake backups). We had a 4-tier butter cream cake and the icing looked so smooth and beautiful that it could have passed for fondant. Michael was able to match the ribbon on the cake exactly to my bridesmaids dresses. It was simply beautiful. He was so easy to work with and had some great suggestions but was never pushy in one direction or another. Michael also has great communication - always a phone call or email away and happy to answer any questions. My experience with Artistic Desserts was wonderful.

tasted heavenly," so it, too, was a big hit! We also had a grooms cake done with Italian cream and custard which was wonderful. They only complaint we had from guest was we ran out of the Chocolate to fast!!!! Wonderful cakes.

on spot. He answered every phone call we had and was happy to listen to everything I said. He has a true passion for what he does and it shows through!

he owner ) was so helpful, he understands how planning a wedding can be and catered to us. We walked us through choosing the design of the cake and even matched the color of the roses on the cake with the décor of our reception, with some swatches we provided. On our wedding day Michael even came early to set up the cake and the cake topper and made sure everything was ok with the cake before leaving the venue. All in all it was a great experience and 2 of my friends will be using Artistic Desserts for their weddings next summer :)

ult was perfection.

t service, greatest taste and perfect price.

ore, by the end of brunch the 12X 12 tier was almost

for the cake tasting, which was very elegant with his finest china and really made you feel welcomed into his home. He was willing to work with me on my vision for the cake and was excited to try something new as a cake topper. He made us a fondant pumpkin carved with our initials. The tasting was amazing and we ultimately chose the red velvet and chocolate flavors with chocolate mousse and chocolate ganache flavors. Although we would have loved to have the reeses peanut butter filling and I definitely recommend it for those who wont have a peanut allergy at the wedding. At the wedding the cake looked as good as it tasted. I would definitely recommend artistic desserts if you have the money to spend on an amazing cake.

e cake looked exactly how I had envisioned it and was delicious. We chose chocolate cake with peanut butter filling. We received no less than ten compliments on the cake during the evening and more afterwards. There were people who had just recently married and wish they had Michael's cake at their wedding because they didn't like their own and loved ours! We just finished the top tier and it was great, even two weeks later kept in the fridge. We will definitely be ordering a new first tier for our anniversary. In fact, it may become an anniversary tradition every year!

great service at a reasonable price! I recommend them to anyone looking for any type of cake!

professional and helpful every step of the way. I was super-impressed at the cake tasting, which he held in his own home. It was personal, fun, and intimate. The final product was exactly what I was dreaming of! I wanted something simple, elegant, and delicious. Artistic Desserts certainly delivered! I would highly recommend this cake vendor.

icious cake - so you can taste each one several times as you're narrowing down what you want. He combines whatever filling you want with whatever kind of cake you want, so again - big slices of fresh delicious cake really help when you're mixing stuff up to make an educated decision. He helped us select the number of tiers we wanted and even suggested keeping the cake shorter and offered to make a couple of cakes on the side to save money. Not sheet cakes, the same awesome round cakes with fabulous fillings. He gave us tons of detail on how to cut and serve the cake and drew me a little diagram as well (there is an art to cutting a huge wedding cake without butchering it and I'm grateful he took the time to explain. We has friends helping with the catering and needed the tutorial!) We have three tiers and he doesn't charge any extra if we wanted to do all three tiers with different cake flavors and fillings! Neat! The Cakes: Red Velvet with cream cheese frosting - the cake and icing were dense and delicious without the cloying sugary sweetness or unsweetened butter greasiness of a lot of other bakeries' cakes and icings. His icing was PERFECT. There was an italian cream cake with a layer of Swiss imported seedless raspberry marmalade and a second layer of custard creamy goodness. Dense and delicious lemon cake with raspberry cream - we went with this one, and switched out one of the raspberry cream filling layers with raspberry marmalade. (Ah the joys of custom choices from a small business that values you!!) Again, not too sweet, not TOO dense - just right. The chocolate - holy goodness. There was some kind of incredible ganache filling in there that was to die for. We ended up getting 2 extra side cakes it was THAT good. He made another cake with crushed peanut butter cups in the filling - this was my fiance's fave and it was delicious as well. Believe it or not, I am not a huge fan of cake overall, but you can't NOT love this guy's cakes. They are fabulous and they are beautifully decorated. He spent well over an hour with us at 7:00pm on a weeknight to accommodate our work schedules. He scrolled through tons of pictures of cakes he had decorated so we could see some examples and he made some great recommendations. He let us try samples of fondant even though the cake we were selecting was iced with buttercream, just because he wanted to share it. It was light and soft and tasted almost like marshmallow. It tasted so much better than any fondant I have had before - he makes his own and it is delicious. When I went off on a tangent after seeing a super-fancy cake he made for another wedding, he brought me back to my original vision for a simple, homemade-looking, classic wedding cake, even though the other option that caught my fancy would have cost a significant amount of money and truly would have been an impulse-buy. The man is a professional. I love independent businesses. What a drastic difference between a tasting in the home of someone who loves what they do and an impersonal tasting at a busy bakery that serves an inferior product.

ay that I ended up designing my cake after. I loved everything about the cake and working with him to design it. The thing that sets him apart from other cake companies is that it is a family run business and I love that wholesome feeling. Also in a year on my anniversary, he will send us our anniversary cake (of the chocolate of course) so we dont have to eat one that was frozen for a year. Michael also helped me create the perfect grooms cake (and at an afforadable price!). It was carrot cake designed with a Jets logo with pictures of our dog on the outside. I will come back and post pictures when we get the professional ones back from our photographer!!! Thank you Michael and I highly recommend you (Artistic Desserts) to any brides looking for the cake of their dreams!!

at design couldnt have been any easier and comfortable. One of the main reasons that my husband I were so happy was we never agree on cake flavors, and it didnt matter! The baker informed us that we were allowed to have more than one flavor. that made it not only easy on us, but fun for the guests =) Highly recommended!!!

d us pictures of his previous work and offered various suggestions. I had brought a picture of what I wanted my cake to look like; it was four tiers, with fondant, and accented with red ribbon. I was a little hesitant about the ribbon, thinking it wouldn't turn out as nice as in the picture, but when I saw the cake the day of the wedding I was blown away, it turned out more beautiful than the cake in the picture. We went with a four tier cake, each layer a different flavor and absolutely delicious! Michael also worked with my florist on the wedding day to pick the perfect placement of red roses on the cake. Michael, was also flexible with us with the pricing. Overall, I would highly recommend Artistic Desserts to all the brides out there!!

y big day finally came (2 yrs. later) Michael called to confirm and my cake was waiting for us at my venue. It was delicious and beautiful. The icing was the talk of the reception. Even the next day I even got texts from the guests "you looked beautiful and your cake was delicious","I went to the gym twice today because of all the cake I ate!" I would definitely get a cake from Artistic Dessert again.

tly ate the next morning!! Michael was a true professional from the start. We tried several bakeries and his cake had the best taste and he had great flavor combo ideas.
