My now-husband and I had such a good time working with Gail and dreaming up our perfect wedding cake. We picked two delicious flavors, pound cake with lemon cream and chocolate with raspberry cream, and we got a lot of compliments! Both flavors were so delicious, and we probably won't make it a whole year before trying our chocolate raspberry cake top. The cake itself was beautiful and Gail really nailed the decorations that we wanted. Definitely recommend!
Mrs. Gail, was the best to work with, and our cake was FABULOUS and DELICIOUS! Her bakery is attached to her home, so we were a little thrown off upon arrival, but all worries went away when we stepped into the beautiful area! Mrs. Gail is very attentive and captures what you want quickly. I highly recommend the raspberry filling, me and my guests called it "raspberry crack" because we were addicted!
She is so kind and detailed. Her designs are incredible and the flavors are absolutely delicious. We had 3 tiers wedding cake and picked the pound cake with strawberry and the chocolate merlot as our flavors (my mouth waters every time I think about this cake).
Simply the best wedding cake vendor in Charlotte <3
Gail is amazing! Our wedding cake was stunning and delicious. She will draw out your vision and makes sure it’s perfect for your big day. I highly recommend her!
We had such a positive experience with Gail from Cheesecake, Etc. She was so accommodating, really working with my husband and I to figure out what design and mix of flavors we were looking for. We had a great feeling from walking in the door with her to tasting the cake on our wedding night.
The most delicious cake and vendor is great to work with! Gail has so much experience she makes the cake design process so simple! Visualize cakes with her Styrofoam models. She evens touches base with you a few weeks prior to confirm head counts and insure you have not had a change of heart on cake flavors! Speaking of flavors they are delicious! I cannot wait to eat the tier that we saved.
Cheesecake Etc. was wonderful to work with! My wedding cake and grooms cake was exactly how I imagined it to be! The flavors were delicious and Gale was so nice to work with!
Gail at Cheesecake Etc is amazing!! My husband loved every bite of cake we tried at our tasting, and the final product for our big day was absolutely perfect. It was elegant and tasted amazing! Gail is easy to communicate with and she will deliver exactly to your vision (and it will also be delicious!) I highly recommend Gail and Cheesecake Etc.
Gail is amazing! We wanted something different for our wedding cake, with fun and exciting flavors. She listened to us during our taste testing about our wedding style to help us make the best choices for our cake and design. She allowed us to taste as many flavors and combinations as we wanted. We ended up ordering Chocolate Merlot, Spice Cake, and Lemon Cake with Raspberry filling, all with buttercream or Irish buttercream frosting. I also ordered a birthday cake (Chocolate Merlot) for my husband for his birthday before we got married and she listened to everything I wanted for a mini Panther cake. Great to worth with! If you want different, fun, and delicious cake for your wedding or any occasion, then definitely call Cheescake Etc.
Gail is incredible! My new spouse and I only went to one cake tasting and knew Cheesecake Etc. was for us. Gail's way of tasting, having us choose three of our favorite cakes and fillings that we can mix and match, really helped us choose what we wanted. While we had our general sketch after meeting with her, the final result was beyond our wildest dreams. It was absolutely perfect and exactly what I was hoping for. The cake itself was so good that we didn't have a chance to get a piece for ourselves! All the guests were even taking slices home as leftovers. We definitely plan to recommission her on our first anniversary so we can try the flavor of the tier that we didn't get to take home.
Gail made our wedding cake and we couldn’t have been happier with it. It looked beautiful and tasted delicious. We highly recommend her!
Gail was amazing! We had a 4 tier cake with assorted mini desserts and all were stunning AND delicious! She was so easy to work with too. We will definitely be contacting her for our next celebration!
I could not have been more pleased with the work of Cheesecake, etc. Not only did Gail provide an excellent tasting but the final cake outcome was above and beyond what I expected. The best part about their service was not having to worry about any cake details. With so many other things on a bride’s plate, Cheesecake etc. will make sure the desert is the least of your worries!
Mrs.Gail was amazing! The cake was so moist everyone loved it! She made our cake tasting experience so much personal! Will definitely recommend her!! Thank you from Danielle & Jansen Wilson
Our initial tasting went so well. The cakes were delicious and we were told the design we wanted was doable. Come our wedding day, the cake was delicious but it appeared that it didn’t make the ride to the venue well. This was disappointing. We also found out afterward the price sheet for the cake was left out by the cake and several of our guests saw the price. We felt this was unprofessional and that the price sheet should have been handed to our coordinator. The cake was delicious, we just had a few hiccups come wedding day.
We got our wedding cake from Cheesecake, Etc. She did a phenomenal job with our cake! From start to finish she made everything as simple as possible. From helping us figure out what we wanted, making our vision come to life, coordinating with our florist for us, delivery, etc. The cake turned out absolutely beautiful and everyone loved it. We got compliments all night long on how good it was and by the end of the night the whole cake was gone! We were extremely pleased with the service from start to finish!
Gail with Cheesecake Etc. makes the BEST cakes in not only Charlotte, but also the BEST in both the NC and SC area. She makes sure you get exactly what you want for your special day! Her cakes not only look absolutely AMAZING, but they also taste EXTREMELY DELICIOUS! Her cakes are never dry, nor do they fall apart. Whether you're looking for a stunning wedding cake or just a low-key birthday cake, go to Gail-she's every bit of WONDERFUL!!! There's a reason she's been voted #1 and has been given so many awards for talented artwork of cake making. Every cake she puts together is a MASTERPIECE, to say the least!
Gail made the best cake for our wedding! Every part of it was amazing. We selected vanilla pound cake with lemon curd filling and buttercream icing and all of it tasted fabulous. We had a cascade of sugar flowers that were so life-like they fooled some of the guests. Throughout the whole process Gail was very attentive to making sure she gave us the exact cake we envisioned. From the amount of lemon in filling to the decoration of the buttercream to the color of the sugar flowers. The final result was better than we could have imagined.
The cake was delicious and beautiful. The consultation was easy and fun, and everything turned out better than I would have imagined!
The service with Cheesecake Etc. was amazing!! The cake was delicious and we have had so many compliments on the cake...even way after the wedding! She was wonderful to work with and so reasonably priced. I would recommend her to any bride getting married!
Our cake turned out beautifully! All of our guests said it was delicious!
My wedding cake was beautiful. Gail gave me exactly what I ask for. The red velvet tasted amazing. The cheesecake etc is the best place for wedding cakes.
I could not believe my eyes when I saw our wedding cake. It was ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!! Gail outdid herself, and she was an absolute joy to work with!! She responds to emails in minutes, and is a true artist. We brought some pictures of cake designs to the tasting session, and she was able to sketch out a gorgeous, unique cake that looked better than anything we had envisioned. I have been showing the sketch to all of my friends for months, and it was an absolute show-stopper in person! And it tasted better than any of us could have hoped--it was GONE in minutes. I saw some people going up for 3rds! Thank you so much, Gail, for giving us the cake of our dreams <3
Gail is absolutely amazing!! I gave her a vision of what I wanted our wedding cake to look like, I changed it 3 times, and she still made it perfectly! Not only was our cake gorgeous, but it tasted amazing. All of our guests commented on this too. We also asked for a small paw print on the back for our dog, and not only did she make this happen, but without even specifying, she put it on the top layer since this is the one we kept. Don't look any further, Gail can make you the perfect wedding cake out of any vision you have and make you the best tasting wedding cake you have ever had.
Gail did such a great job on our wedding cake! The design was exactly what I wanted and the taste was phenomenal. The cake serves as a focal point during the reception and it surely kept our guests talking. Great customer service and a great product, I would definitely recommend!
Gail is the coolest! We loved her from the moment we met her in her shop. She has such a wonderful personality and makes the most delicious cakes! Our cake was so unique and turned out even better than we had anticipated. She was great!
Gail (the mastermind between Cheesecakes, Etc) is incredibly talented and was so easy to work with. The cake was BEAUTIFUL and tasted so good! I have alternating layers of almond cake with raspberry filling and vanilla cake with lemon filling. My guests raved about the cake - both it's appearance and deliciousness. Gail was easy to work with. From setting up the tasting to talking through what I was looking for and what Gail could do, I felt confident throughout the process that the cake would be fabulous... and it was! Finally, her pricing was better than some of the other options I looked at... an added bonus. You will have the cake of your dreams if you choose Cheesecakes, Etc. I cannot recommend Gail enough!
LOVED Cheescake Etc. Gail is so awesome to work with! Our cake was delicious and beautiful!
I loved my wedding cake! Working with Gail from Cheesecake etc was a great experience! The samples and design direction Gail supplied us when creating our cake was very appreciated! The end product was amazing and I can't wait to eat the top of our cake in a year! Would recommend!!!
I absolutely loved my wedding cake from Cheesecake Etc! Not only was it absolutely gorgeous, it was delicious! Gail was so easy to work with and she was very helpful about giving different ideas since I really didn't know what I wanted. Everyone complimented on how good it was. I would highly recommend!!!
This was my favorite part of the wedding planning. Gail is fantastic and went over and beyond to create a beautiful cake. My husband and I couldn't be happier.
Wonderful and delicious!! Details were to a tee!!
Mrs. Gail,
She was very friendly, kind, and professional. She was flexible and work really well with us in helping us choose what we needed. She creative the perfect cakes that we needed for our special events. The cakes were breath-taking and delicious cakes. We will definitely use her again. If you are looking for someone to do your cake, I would definitely recommend her services. Thanks Gail!
Working with Cheesecake Etc. was wonderful! Gail provided us with many options for our cake and was very supportive helping us design the cake and suggesting flowers that will pair well with what we were looking to do with the rest of wedding. She had fabulous ideas, was friendly and most importantly - the cake was beautiful and delicious! We highly recommend Cheesecake Etc.!
Cheesecake Etc. provided the cake at our wedding reception and it was perfect! I had to plan this from long distance and was able to email Gail pictures of the cake design/flavors I liked and she created a delicious and beautiful cake! She also assisted us in deciding the size of the cake based on the number of guests and helped us stay within our price point and budget, which was much appreciated!
Gail was a pleasure to work with and not only was our cake absolutely gorgeous, it was delicious! She was able to deliver a custom design we requested with the end result looking exactly the way we wanted. She also delivered on time, in the snow. We will definitely use her for our future cake needs. Thank you Gail!!
Gail is a gem to work with! Our wedding cake looked absolutely stunning. It tasted just as good! If you like lemon/blueberry - I recommend it as a cake flavor! Additionally, she made our Grooms cake for our rehearsal dinner and took the time to perfect the colors because my husband is a VT Hokie and the maroon and burnt orange for his cake had to be precise. Lol! I will definitely use cheesecake etc. again for future events.
We loved everything about our wedding cake! Gail was wonderful to work with! It was so difficult to choose our favorite flavors at our tasting because they were all delicious (lemon curd was a-maz-ing). Gail had so many sizes and designs to choose from but was also open to creating what we had envisioned and she did not disappoint! She also worked with our florist to incorporate our flowers into the design and it turned out beautifully. When I was trying to purchase a cake topper from Etsy, she was quick to help me by sharing her opinion on size and color, which I really appreciated. I've been to a lot of weddings where the cake gets mixed reviews, but I can honestly say that people came up to us to speak with us throughout the evening about how much they enjoyed our cake. I can tell that she takes pride in her work and wants her customers to have the absolute best experience. That's exactly what we got!
Gail was a dream to work with! The whole experience from our very first appointment to the cake tasting to the actual wedding cake was wonderful. She was very consultative and executed on my vision of the wedding cake perfectly. I highly recommend this vendor!
Cheesecake Etc was a great company to work with. Gail is so sweet and did everything that we wanted. We had to have two tastings because I was so indecisive about flavors. She was patient and worked with us and on the day the cake was exactly what I asked for! The flavors were awesome and I got so much good feedback about the taste. You can tell it was made fresh! Love Gail and this company!!
The best wedding cake. Gail is very friendly and easy to work with. The cake tasting was free and we were able sample different cakes and fillings. Gail was able to incorporate my Pinterest ideas and she gives a drawing of your cake by the end of the session. The cakes are very affordable. We had a 4 tier cake with different flavors and the design was included in the price. Compare to other bakeries you pay extra for every design element. Our cake was very fresh and did not taste like it was baked days before. We choose a buttercream icing and it was also very fresh and rich. The cake stands are also included in the price and she has many to choose from. Overall, the quality and taste of the cakes are amazing, and the price can't be beat. My only regret was not ordering a bigger cake! We didn't have any left over as many guest requested a second and third piece!
Cheesecake Etc. was absolutely wonderful! Gail was very easy to work with and went above and beyond to make sure our cake was perfect. She was always easy to get in touch with and very personable. I would highly recommend Cheesecake Etc.!
From the tasting to the wedding day we had the perfect experience with Gail at Cheesecake, Etc.! The cake was delicious and Gail was fantastic! She responded immediately to any questions we had and made the day of the wedding delivery worry free. Two of our daughters were married this year, in May and September, and we used Gail for both wedding. There was not question that she was making the cake for the September wedding after the May wedding. Both cakes were beautiful and exactly what our daughters wanted!! Definitely a 5++ stars!!
Gail was amazing! I sampled her cakes at the wedding show and contacted her after that. From the very beginning when I contacted her to hear more about her company, to setting up the tasting and then having the tasting( her cakes were amazing and we knew we wanted to use her!) She has wonderful ideas and is very affordable for what you get. She was helpful and there when I needed her and my cake topper broke about 2 weeks before the wedding, I brought it to her and she fixed it for me. You won't be disappointed going with Gail!! We can't wait til our 1 year anniversary to have our cake again!! She also recommended our florist to us! Who was also amazing! She's knows a lot of people in the wedding industry!
We were so happy that we chose Gail with cheesecake etc for our wedding!!! Everything went to well from the beginning planning, final touches the week of and the cake/desserts on the day of our wedding!
We did a cake as well as desserts. She blew us away and was so helpful!
I couldn't imagine having it go any better!
Gail made our wedding cake 11/8/16, & & it was fantastic!! We had read a review that wasn't very good, so I was a little concerned, but there was no need. It was pouring rain thanks to Hurricane Matthew, but our cake was beautiful & fresh. We took some with us on our honeymoon & it was still delicious! I would recommend Gail to anyone. She is hands on & really cares about what you want. Our wedding cake exceeded our expectations!! Thank you Gail! From Tammy & George
Mrs. Gail was great from the beginning of our wedding cake journey to the tasting to the delivery to the venue. Our cake was moist, delicious and beautiful. I felt that she wanted to make sure that the vision of the bride came true. I would defiantly recommend Cheesecake Etc..
Thanks Mrs. Gail
Gail made the absolute BEST wedding cake that I have ever tasted (and not just because it was mine). It was so good that I couldn't get our caking cutting photo right because I was too busy eating the cake! (LOL) But aside from the phenomenal taste, Gail made the entire experience absolutely amazing. My husband and I live in California and got married back home (in NC) so there was lots of planning and coordination from afar. Gail was super flexible and accommodating with my schedule and even worked with my friend who was my stand-in taster. Gail was able to match my "vision" and colors all over email. And meeting her in person, she's just as wonderful. If you are undecided, look no further. Cheesecake Etc is where you need to be!
If you're looking for someone to make your beautiful wedding cake or for any special occasion than look no further there's no cake this lady can't do. Visit Gail's place of business and I'm sure you'll agree that she bakes with all heart. My wife and I can truly say from personal experience that Gail will make sure you're pleased with your choice. She makes a delicious cake that will make you lick your fingers with wonderful frosting she makes from scratch. All of our wedding guests went back for seconds and took some home. Our wedding cake was not only elegant but many of our guests commented that our wedding cake was so moist inside. Our wedding cake is the reason why there's no ice cream or milk at our home now. Thank you Gail for making our wedding cake. You are so amazing!
It was a beautiful cake! Gail took my ideas and made it exactly as I wanted. The cake was also delicious! The best wedding cake I have ever tasted... I would use cheesecake etc. again!
Our cake was simply AMAZING! Gail was a pleasure to work with and understood our vision from the start. It turned out exactly like we ad requested and our guests are still talking about how delicious it was!! We highly recommend Cheesecake Etc. You will not be disappointed!!
Gail was a treat to work with and her cakes are incredibly delicious! I can't imagine there is a better tasting cake and for a reasonable price. Our guests raved about her chocolate cake and cream cheese filling, and we LOVED her almond cake with raspberry buttercream - and now I'm drooling just remembering it! Gail also quickly tied in the lace from my dress into the design, and she helped me keep the price reasonable despite a large guest list. Overall, she was a breeze to work with and I'd highly recommend her.
Gail is the only baker you need (but go to the other tastings for the free cake!) She has the best cake, the best prices, and is the best to work with! She made us a 4-tier wedding cake that was straight out of the magazines and tasted so good everyone is still talking about it! She had so many options to choose from and when we changed our mind about a flavor she was so easy to work with! She also had the best prices of anyone in Charlotte and I love that she makes it out of her house! Love Gail!
Our wedding cake from Cheesecake Etc. was stunning and incredibly delicious! Gail had a wide array of flavors to choose from and our choice of Almond cake with cherry filling (plus an additional layer of Almond cake and pineapple filling) was a a total crowd pleaser. Gail herself is one of the nicest people we have ever met. She is kind, extremely responsive to email and messages and she is so very accommodating. Do not hesitate to choose one of her cakes for your big day!
My cake was not only beautiful but also delicious. Gail does amazing work. I would highly recommend her to anyone. Everyone at my wedding said how delicious our wedding cake was.
Easy to work with, always responsive to emails, beautiful and delicious cake!! Thanks Gail.
Gail is absolutely helpful. The cake is awesome and the guests all said nice word for it. Will definitely recommend Cheesecake etc to the friends.
The tasting was amazing, and we enjoyed having Gail sketch out our cake as we talked through it. On the day of the event, the cake was delicious and beautiful. Thanks for everything!
We choose Gail immediately after our initial consultation. Just the tasting alone made us want to have her do our wedding cake. But it was also, her customer service and dedication to making sure you got the wedding cake of your dreams. She's more than talented, she's exceptional and I wouldn't recommend going anywhere else.
We loved our beautiful wedding cake and really enjoyed working with Gale! The whole experience was really fun- the cake testing especially for my husband! Our cake turned out beautiful- exactly how we wanted it- and SO DELICIOUS! Thank you again for everything- you made our day very special! :)
