Artistic Desserts

Fall Wedding Everything about the cake from the design down to the taste was amazing. All guest called to find out if we had more because it was delicious. Michael was very kind and his presentation of cake flavors was amazing. We were more than satisfied. We will be using Artistic Desserts in the future.

Michael was amazing to work with and the finished product was beyond our dreams!! My husband is a big cake guy and I was worried that we wouldn't find anything that WOWED him!! I was so wrong...from the minute the tasting started all I heard was wow that was the best cake I've ever had!!! Piece after piece. Michael thank you can never be enough but it's all I have. So THANK YOU!!!

Michael is a genius. My wedding cake was COMPLETELY gorgeous and COMPLETELY delicious. We were able to taste about 6 different cakes and they were all scrumptious. ALL OF THEM. We went with the almond. Goodness!! What an amazing cake! And this is from a woman who bakes. All my friends were concerned that I couldn’t find a baker who would meet my very high standards and to be honest, I expected it to look better than it tasted. Boy was I wrong! Michael did an amazing job. The cake was moist and beautiful and DELICIOUS. Look no further if you need a dessert for a special occasion. I would hire him again and again. He got to the mansion early and had my cake ready for photos. Every aspect of my wedding was perfect...especially the cake.

wonderful and easy to work with. He executed exactly what i wanted and it tasted AMAZING !!!

Our cake was included in our venue's package. We received cake slices at the venue tasting (before meeting Michael) to bring home with us. After eating a lot of cake, I contacted Michael to set up a planning call. The call was easy and I liked that I could share my inspiration with him on his own computer. He helped my now-husband and I work out the right design for us. We went for lemon cake with raspberry jam and raspberry cream filling and Italian cream cake with dark chocolate ganache and peanut butter cream filling. Both were amazing. I was hesitant to keep the top tier so Michael suggested that we save our top tier for a "wedding photo viewing" party, rather than our one year anniversary (brilliant idea). It was great working with him and I'm excited to get the photos back so I can eat more cake. EDIT: We received the photos back about 3 months after the wedding and the thawed cake was still just as delicious as it was on our big night.

We could not have been more pleased with our wedding cake. We simply showed him a picture of what we wanted and in turn he made it come life. It was far beyond what we imagined. The detail as well as the taste. You rarely hear about people talk about the wedding cake days after the wedding, well in this case people were in deed on its apearence as well as taste. I am excited to taste it again on our one year anniversary.

The wedding went off without a hitch. The wedding cake was absolutely perfect, just as we ordered. As soon as I walked into the Grey Rock Mansion and saw the cake, I immediately took a picture. All the guests enjoyed the cake; it was very good and tasty. Thanks again for your service and support. I don't have any more children to marry off, but I will highly recommend you to anyone I know who is having a wedding in the future. Again, thanks for all your support.

Throughout the planning stages, Michael was always available and was very responsive which was helpful to finalize the details! During such a (potentially) stressful time planning, he helps make designing your perfect cake easy! The cake was exactly what I was looking for and tasted absolutely delicious. Thank you, Michael & Artistic Desserts, for making my dream day even better than I imagined with the perfect cake!

Our wedding cake was absolutely beautiful and so delicious. My husband is vegan so we even got a small vegan cake for him that was just as good. The main wedding cake’s flower design matched my dress it was honestly a work of art. Thank you for making our day special and for giving us such a beautiful cake.

Michael and his cake truly were a centerpiece at our wedding! He has an incredible talent with his cake making (and oh my god do they taste amazing!!) and pays such close attention to details to make your cake 'yours'. He was upfront and honest about all the steps to make our cake and kept us a part of all the details and creative process. We added live flowers to our cake and Michael was on hand when delivering the cake to give it that last final touch to really bring out the beauty of the cake design. We loved it and so did our guests!! He is professional, friendly and warm to work with and gives so much advice and experience to designing your cake!! Highly recommend Michael and if you need a cake for another special occasion, he is great at that too!! (ps. ask him about his chocolate, you won't be disappointed!)

My brother and sister-in-law recommended we work with Michael and we are glad we did! From the very beginning, Michael was responsive and flexible. We went to his house for the cake tasting and it was amazing. His cake and filling options are unique and we designed our cake together at the tasting. He made us a four tier cake with two different cakes and fillings. We had a gold cake stand and he was able to match the gold perfectly on the cake. We received so many compliments after the wedding on how delicious our cake was! We highly recommend working with Michael from Artistic Desserts!

Our wedding cake was beautiful! And of course tasty too. Michael is very easy to work with. This particularly helpful when you just need someone to listen to your wishes and deliver a GREAT product! Thanks a million! Married 10/28/17

Working with Michael was a true pleasure. He was 100% ready for us at the tasting with a lot of delicious samples and guided us through the process of making our selections. It was nice to be able to offer several different flavors of cake at our reception. He delivered the dessert to our wedding just as promised and we had a ton of positive feedback from our guests. PS ... the peanut butter flavor was my personal favorite!

Michael took the time to explain everything in detail prior to our wedding reception, giving helpful advice on the look of our cake. Our cake turned out just as we had imagined it to! The guests loved the flavors and said it was perfect.. moist, not too sweet. We had our anniversary cake not too long after, and it was still so delicious!

Michael! How can we thank you for your loving artistry in creating Gabriella's wedding cake? I cannot tell you enough not only how many compliments we received about the design and the flavor, but how you incorporated the rose cascade from the topper into the cake design. We are so grateful for your kindness in working with us to express Gabriella's personality down to the smallest details. Thank you!

Michael was very flexible and very easy to work with. There were so many flavors and designs to choose from plus everything was customizable. And most importantly the cake was DELICIOUS! Thanks so much!

We had a beautiful cake at our wedding. Overall exceeded our expectation!!! Tasted amazing and our guest thought it was very unique.

Michael was amazing! He worked with us thoughout the process. We enjoyed a friendly tasting and designed the cake of our dreams. His artistry is unmatched. The cake was BEAUTIFUL and some of the most delicious wedding cake ever!

We were so happy with Michael and Artistic Desserts! From the start, Michael was very responsive and easy to communicate with. We got to taste 9 flavors (all amazing) and he gave us the option of mixing and matching cake and icing flavors. The cake looked and tasted amazing! I recommend the italian cream cake with vanilla custard and raspberry :)

Michael helped make our dream wedding day come to life and a huge success! He is phenomenal! The cake he made for us was not only beautiful but a work of art! Elegant and breath taking! You will never go wrong by using him! You don’t have to go 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

Chef Michael was great to work with, my wedding cake was delicious and was absolutely beautiful!

Michael & Artistic Desserts made the perfect cake for our August wedding. From our cake tasting, I was sold! We ended up going with two different flavors and both were delicious! For the design, I showed Michael a picture from Pinterest and he 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 :)

Beyond amazing. Beyond words. Michael's cake exceeded our expectations. His attention to detail and the taste was unbelievable. Would definitely use again. I have never had a better cake. Looking forward to our anniversary so we can eat the top!

Michael did an excellent job with our wedding cake. He made the cake exactly how we wanted it, and it tasted AMAZING. He also happened to be present when our florist dropped off some small succulents for use on the cake, and Michael placed them exactly how we had envisioned. I'd definitely recommend using Artistic Desserts!

Delicious and beautiful wedding cakes.

Not only was our cake DELICIOUS, but it was beautiful as well. Michael, worked with us to design a cake and offered suggestions for the overall look. The cake was amazing. Many of our guests raved, noting that they had multiples slices because it was phenomenal! Will definitely be ordering other cakes for Artistic Desserts!

The second greatest day of our marriage (besides our wedding day) will be when we get to eat more of our wedding cake! Michael did a fantastic job! He was so easy to work with and our cake was out of this world. Definitely recommend!

Michael came through when we needed a cake last minute! He was helpful, fast, and was more than accommodating when working with our price range. The wedding cake turned out beautifully and the guests loved it! We got a lot of compliments. It's the best cake I've ever had! I highly recommend them!

Book Artistic Desserts as fast as you can! Michael worked with us to design a gorgeous cake with two flavors that looked elegant and tasted AMAZING! So good, in fact, that, even though we were only married 6 days ago, we are halfway through eating 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!

My husband and I absolutely adored our cake! It was elegant and fit the space beautifully. But, let's be honest, taste is the most important thing and several guests told us it was best wedding cake they've ever had. I might be biased, but I 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!

My husband and I were thrilled with our wedding cake from Artistic Desserts! Michael diligently worked with us to create the perfect cake. He was so detail orientated and the cake ended up looking (and tasting) absolutely perfect. We couldn't have been happier with the experience. It's the easiest vendor choice you have - you can't go wrong with Artistic Desserts!

Michael did our wedding cake and he was so easy and nice to work with. We had a call to go through pictures and he accommodated what we were looking for and it turned out beautifully! We also weren't able to do the flavor we wanted because of some allergies our guests had so he made a smaller cake for me and my husband to have that night. I highly recommend Artisitic Desserts!!

We LOVED Artistic Desserts!!! Picking the cake was by far the easiest thing I did, thanks to Michael. Our cake looked fabulous, and it tasted absolutely delicious! A piece of each type of cake was delivered to our tasting in Baltimore so we had 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.

One of the most exciting part of the wedding was choosing our wedding cake. Chef Michael is very down to earth as well as professional. The choices and flavors of his creations are very decadent and lingers on your taste buds in a very memorable 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!

My husband, family, and I couldn't have been more happy with our experience with Artistic Desserts for our wedding on May 22, 2016. Michael is extremely friendly and personable. We had read great reviews about him already but he went beyond our 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.

We were introduced to Artistic Desserts at a bridal show when we won a gift certificate, and we are so glad we did. Michael was great to work with, very passionate and enthusiastic about what he does. The cake looked beautiful and was absolutely 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.

My husband and I got married 10/7/16 and Mike did an amazing job on our cake! It was perfect! He also did a last minute grooms cake for me as well. Mike was flexible and we couldn't have been happier to work with him. All of our guests loved our cake!

We really enjoyed working with Michael! We had gone to 2 other cake vendors before meeting with him. He was our favorite among the three vendors as well as the most detail-oriented. He also made the cake tasting more of a personalized, formal affair 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!

My husband and I could not be happier with the cake that we had for our wedding on October 1, 2016! Not only was our cake absolutely stunning, but it was amazingly delicious. Working with Michael was a breeze! He is so incredibly flexible, and 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!

Michael was awesome to work with, super friendly and professional! The cake was everything we could have asked for, absolutely beautiful, delicious, and customized to our exact specifications. I almost want to get married again just so we can order another cake! Thanks, Michael!

Our wedding cake was one of my favorite parts of our wedding, and it was all because of Michael at Artistic Desserts. We started with a very basic idea: Legos, and he ran with it to create an amazing masterpiece, complete with Lego wedding party 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!

The best wedding cake ever! It was not only beautiful, but taste like heaven! My guests were asking for 2nds, and I assure you I will not be waiting an entire year before I eat the top tier....Michael is an artist, and remarkable baker.

I used Artistic Desserts for my wedding on March 15, 2015. The baker, Michael, was able to sketch the vision of my wedding cake based off of a picture I had found online. In an attempt to to bring the "cut and paste" picture to standard size, the 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.

Absolutely amazing!!!! We met Michael at a wedding show and we knew from that day he was going to be the one that made the most important cake we would ever buy! Michael is absolutely amazing to work with, his cakes are amazing and so moist 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!

We used Artistic Desserts for our wedding on October 3, 2015 (it was suggested from our vendor). Let me tell you... Michael was just amazing. Not only did my cake look EXACTLY how I wanted and was rich/moist, he went out of his way to find our 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++

Michael at Artistic Desserts is AMAZING!!!!!! My husband and I chose the Italian cream cake with a raspberry and cream cheese filling. Our wedding was in May of this year and we were very happy with the way our cake turned out!!!!!! Months later 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.

Michael Markwitz from Artistic Desserts was the best! My wedding was August 9, 2015 and things have just settled down for me to provide feedback to all of the wonderful vendors that I worked with to make my wedding day special. I provided Michael 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!

Great service, beautiful and delicious cake.

From the minute we spoke with Michael, we knew our wedding cake experience was going to be be amazing. He made us feel at ease during this sometimes stressful time. Michael was so accommodating from getting us the most delicious samples to coordinating 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!

we were very happy with how our cake turned out. we picked the flavor Italian crème cake with vanilla custard and raspberry swiss. the cake tasted amazing and all of our guests really enjoyed it. Michael was very helpful and easy to work with. 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!

Our wedding planner referred us to Artistic Desserts and they were fabulous. Our theme was Alice in Wonderland and the cake they made us was truly a work of art! We ended up choosing three different cake flavors and they were all amazingly delicious! I would definitely recommend them!!

Michael at Artistic Desserts is a dream when it comes to cakes! He was so incredibly helpful, hands on, and accommodating. All the cake testers were so good it was hard to choose a favorite! We ended up going with a 3 tier Italian Sweet Cream with 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!

Artistic Desserts has the best cakes and the best customer service ever. My cake was perfect in every way. Thank you so much for your time and patience with me. (Very) - Happy Bride....

This baker is affiliated with our venue. Since we ordered cake through them, we rolled the cake tasting into the food tasting. Bonus! :) One tasting - one trip - easy! We were offered several different flavors of cake and icing and chose 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!!
