Bella E Dolce

cious cake. Their Irish Cream flavor is outstanding :)

o happy with the result. We most certainly recommend!!

ected. The cakes were crafted were not only delicious to taste but delightful to behold.

ectly. Paige is superhuman. I knew she knew her $&!% the moment I met her, but I didn't know how on top of it she was until she posted on Instagram at the end of the year how many cakes she made and how many magical days she made happen and how little sleep that resulted in for her this year! I was extremely grateful to have booked with her and we hope to hire her back for our 1 year anniversary!

People came up to me all throughout the night to tell me what a fantastic cake we had, even people who weren't "cake people!" We were absolutely thrilled with their hard work and professionalism. Thank you Bella E Dolce for a tremendous evening.

! We would highly recommend Bella E Dolce!

the most spot on out of my entire wedding, it also tasted delicious and everyone enjoyed it thoroughly. I highly recommend this bakery!

be happier. This was amazing.

ok no farther. We were so impressed with every aspect of our cake. Did I say how good it was? Carrot cake with vanilla cream cheese frosting...I wish I had more right now!!

ze your cake and make it special. They have their tastings down. Most amazingly, they gave us a full refund when we had to unfortunately cancel our wedding due to COVID. They handled the situation with such grace that I would encourage anybody who is looking for an up north baker to use them because they are a stand up business.

e sent me out with a sample plate to help finalize the cake and frosting. Never had to worry about the cake arriving the day of reception. They checked in with me and I never had to follow up.

hen passed off to their Northern Michigan location to deliver to our wedding. What a delicious and BEAUTIFUL cake and spread of desserts. They executed perfectly on everything we requested and everything tasting amazing! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to have a seamless and professional experience!

a tasting at her home, and had so much fun designing our wedding cake- from the cake, to the filling, to the decorations, and even the cake stand! When our wedding day finally came, the cake arrived exactly as expected. It was beautiful, absolutely delicious, and we got a TON of compliments on it. We highly recommend Bella e Dolce for anyone needing a cake for any special occasion. You won't regret it!

os of what I had in mind and they came up with two beautiful designs - a classic tiered wedding cake with florals and a nautical groom's cake lots of detail. Not only were the cakes gorgeous, our guests kept commenting on how it was the best wedding cake they've ever had! If you're planning a Mackinac Island wedding, you have to go with Bella e Dolce!

ouch. We had several compliments that it was the best cake people ever tried. We did a Birchtree cake with peeling bark that was painted with gold and looked awesome. Kim sperl is a sweetheart and so easy to work with. My only critique is that they forgot to decorate our cake with the greenery we requested, so our cake looked a bit underwhelming. (Apparently it was their job and not the florists job). I have no complaints about the desserts themselves however.

ow it was the best cake they have ever had! I found Bella e Dolce when I attended a wedding show on Mackinac Island. The cakes they had on display were like nothing I had ever seen (we're talking the stuff you see in wedding magazines) and when we tasted the samples, I was sold! Since I lived in Lansing and was planning a Mackinac Island wedding, most of the communication was through e-mail. However, we did get a chance to attend a tasting and it was a wonderful experience. We were able to sit down and really discuss designs, flavors, etc. When your husband can't stop talking about the salted caramel buttercream frosting, you know you’ve made the right choice! He even wants to get another small cake for our anniversary! If you have a chance to work with Bella e Dolce, take it!!!

countless combinations at the tasting though (we did it in the Southern location) and it was amazing.

with since we were remote. We were able to have a tasting at their Walled Lake location when I was in town for my shower. Definitely do a cake tasting when you choose them as your cake vendor - it's so much fun!! We chose the Lemon Rosemary cake with Buttercream Raspberry frosting and lemon curd - it was beyond amazing and so unique!! All of our guests loved it - a real crowd pleaser!! Bella E Dolce is so easy to use for a Mackinac Island wedding. They are pros with the logistics including the delivery. Our cake came out better than we ever could have imagined and we received so many compliments from family and friends on the appearance and taste! We look forward for finding ways to use them again - maybe for birthday or anniversary cakes?! Not sure the event yet but we definitely know we want to have that cake again! Choose Bella E Dolce and be confident you've chosen really, really well! They are the best!

ful, although not exactly like I envisioned or provided a picture. For the price of the cake, I feel as though it shouldn’t have been at all dry, but it was...

not going to offset the cake cutting fee from our venue so we went with just a standard cake. We live closer to their Walled Lake location and were able to set up an appointment with Kim when she was downstate which was awesome to not have to travel up north to try our cakes. We ended up with an all vanilla cake - some with salted caramel filling and some with strawberry- all were amazing! We have our top tier to save as well. Their pricing is high for a cake but it is delicious! We wanted a look of a log for the cake and they were able to match our vision and they had a wood cake stand for us to use too.

iful desserts were spectacular as well. Kim and her team are incredibly professional, creative, and make absolutely fabulous cakes! I wish I could eat this cake every day. For real!

ed good. So that is the important and easy part. A couple of notes: We never got to taste the wedding cake prior to having it at our wedding due to a pretty lame misunderstanding. I asked for a tasting when I was going to be in the area, and they told me that they were going to be out of town, so it wasn't going to be an option. Coming from Texas, I was disappointed, but I understood. Then, when I visited the area for our tasting at the Inn at Stonecliffe, I did notice a woman who was sampling cakes at the front of the tent. We did arrive after the event began (I think there was some sort of exposition that we missed, and we arrived instead just for the tasting meal itself). The woman came up to our table and handed out a couple of slices of cake to some of the brides, but never came around to our side of the table. We didn't know what organization she was with, and we didn't know that she would be leaving almost immediately after that. I was disappointed to find out that it was in fact Bella e Dolce and that they had left before I was through tasting the entree options, so I wasn't able to taste the cake. As someone who works in a customer service environment, it seemed easy enough that Bella e Dolce would cross-reference their list of deposits (we had already paid) with Stonecliffe's list of attendees (we were even at assigned tables) to make sure they met every bride who had booked with them. One additional thing that I found strange was that their signature is a lady bug somewhere on the cake. I hate to be nit-picky, but that isn't disclosed anywhere that I can remember seeing it, and I would have much rather had it not there (it has photographed as a weird speck so far). Like I said, their cakes taste good and are pretty. That's what matters. I wouldn't recommend that someone not book with them. But my experience with them was very generic.

avors and quantities. The display of the cupcakes with a small cutting cake on top was beautiful. And, most importantly, everyone loved the cupcakes! We got to have five different flavors and our guests are still talking about how delicious they were! They were a huge hit, and also were beautifully decorated. Best of all, we got to take the leftovers with us to enjoy in our room after the wedding! Excellent service, and excellent cake and cupcakes!

celebrating an anniversary and I asked if they could help me surprise my wife by meeting some of my impossible demands. I thought they'd have to say no, but I was wrong. They are so nice and so accommodating! Again, you will not be disappointed!!! Thank you Paige and Kim!!!

aige. Not only did both our wedding cake and groom's cake (which Paige helped me keep a complete surprise!) look AMAZING, but they tasted even better! Bella E Dolce is a must for any wedding in Northern Michigan!

cake. In the end, our cake turned out perfectly and was delicious!! Our guests could not rave enough about how tasty the cake and cake truffles were. We highly recommend Bella e Dolce. Thank you for making our day extra special! Megan & Jason

rt of wedding planning!

ee tiers and the colors matched the decor perfectly. We planned the wedding from out-of-state and Kim made the process stress free. The flavors she offers are so unique and that is why my daughter chose Bella E Dolce. The cake was lemon-rosemary and and the filling was lemon curd and raspberry creme. I would highly recommend this bakery!

akes we tried. This cake was worth every penny. Our family members were fighting over the leftovers. We froze the top and are really looking forward to having it on our 1st anniversary. The tasting day was amazing. We couldn't believe how many delicious flavors and fillings we could choose from. They spent a lot of time assisting us with choosing flavors and working on a design. Kim and Paige always responded to my emails in a timely manner. My parents were worried about the cake traveling by ferry to Mackinac Island, but there were no issues. The cake looked perfect. I highly recommend Bella e Dolce.

st but we were not disappointed. We spent more than we originally planned to on the cake but definitely got our money's worth. Our venue was on Mackinac Island a few miles from the ferry docks so it was great to have experts who knew how to get a whole cake over there!

though people looked at me like I was crazy. We will go out of our way to get a cake for our anniversary from Kim.

delicious!

nd :)

her vendor. Kim created the exact imagine of the cake we were hoping for, and the cake itself was SO delicious. Moist, fresh, and just perfect! Loved everything about our wedding cake- HIGHLY recommend Bella E Dolce!

om. The cake tasting experience was one of my favorite parts of planning my wedding. They are professional and they are truly artists!

g, and the taste of the cake itself was to die for.

s just stunning! I can’t decide what was better how it looked or how it tasted! It was just decadant! I almost didn’t want to save the top layer because I wanted to eat it! Just absolutely divine! I have always had event cakes made from very reputable pastry chef’s in my local area but I can say with 100% certainty that I have never tasted something so amazing EVER. The unique flavor combinations were amazing and very well received everyone just loved the cake and is still talking about it!

arents and bridesmaid still are raving about the awesome experience we had during our tasting. We had the unique opportunity to try all cake flavors, icings, and fillings and were able to mix and match to find what we liked most. We ended up choosing a smaller, two-tiered cake and a variety of cake truffles (including some gluten free truffles for guests that are gluten intolerant) which were a huge hit with our guests. Our cake fit my vision perfectly and we couldn't have been happier with how it turned out. And, to top off our great experience, the cake was absolutely delicious. I couldn't have hoped for anything better.

the ferry! The flavors were delicious as well. Everyone commented on how beautiful it looked!

a)! Bella e Dolce was super about honoring our requests. My (now) husband is a sweet fanatic and the cakes I wanted nothing more than for him to be pleased with the cakes at our wedding. The crazy part is, we couldn't do any tastings because we live so far away! Everything was done via email and phone...talk about trust! We met with the crew in the shop two days before our wedding and could not have been happier with what they had planned. They saw our vision! It takes true professionals with a lot of experience to execute our idea with just a few conversations! Our guests were wow'ed and we were over the top thrilled with the outcome! Beautiful AND delicious! You can't ask for anything more!

th to try to cakes, it was obvious that we were not going to be able to find a cake that was as fantastic as the cakes at Bella e Dolce. As a person who loves cake for dessert, I would have been cutting myself short if I had not gotten one of their cakes. With that being said, everything about Bella e Dolce was amazing. We had been planning our wedding early and chosen our cake flavors a good year before the big day. Kim offered us a few months before the wedding to come back up for a second tasting so we could solidify the design and try the flavors one more time before deciding. Thank goodness she did, as we tweaked some of the flavors around. On the big day, the cake was gorgeous. It was everything that I would have wanted in a wedding cake and tasted fantastic. We got so many positive comments on the cake (many saying that it was one of the best tasting and gorgeous looking cakes that they have ever had). Since the wedding, we still continue to talk about how great the cake was. We have even considered starting to get one of Bella e Dolce cakes for every anniversary as a tradition to remember how great our wedding cake was. I would recommend them for any bride and groom in the area. If the cost seems to be high, it is completely worth it. It really does make a difference where you get your wedding cake from! Thank you to the staff at Bella e Dolce for making our wedding experience one to remember!

o delivered the cake and it looked perfect!
