Everything turned out absolutely amazing! Our guests couldn't stop raving about the food and the incredible presentation and display. Michele was so easy and pleasant to work with from start to finish. She was perfectly on time, used top-quality ingredients, and delivered impeccable service for our large group.
Her pricing was incredibly reasonable. We couldn’t have asked for anything more—it was such a blessing to find her, especially since we learned that she travels all over the state of Michigan! I would enthusiastically recommend her for any event.

llings. We were SO thoroughly impressed with her and her work at the tasting. It was SO delicious, and her presentation exceeded my expectations! Over the months of wedding planning, we remained so excited for our guests to taste the cake. Not only was it delicious, it was STUNNING!! Michele was the only one with the talent to create my dream five-tiered wedding cake- she is that good! We did each tiered layer a different flavor and the guests all LOVED trying the flavors and having unique assortments to choose from. Look no further than Michele! Truly marvelous!

Carrot cake with cream cheese frosting
Cherry cake with buttercream frosting
Marble cake with Bavarian cream

Chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream
Our caterer even commented that he had never worked a wedding where a cake was in such high demand. Our guests were raving about the flavors!
I was especially impressed with the patience and creativity of the owner at Cakes by Michelle in working with the limited flowers we had. She transformed them into a gorgeous presentation. I’m forever appreciative of her dedication and talent in making our daughter’s wedding extra special.
