Confectionery Designs

ountless email exchanges that they responded to impressively fast, Marie and Mark helped us design and perfectly execute the cake of our dreams for our wedding day, as well as a multitude of smaller desserts that were all crowd pleasers. On top of being very talented, this is a small, family run business that truly cares about its clients and wants to see their products shine at weddings. Could not recommend them enough. We wish we lived closer to their baker so we could enjoy their donuts on a regular basis, they are truly the best donuts we have ever had (and many of our guests wedding guests agree!) It was such a joy to work with Confectionery Designs, and we will be customers for life.

reated a true masterpiece in design with a beautiful cake that brought all the details we wanted.

so tasted DELICIOUS! All of our guests raved about the donuts. The profiteroles and key lime tarts were also amazing. I highly recommend working with Confectionery Design for all of your wedding (and everyday!) dessert needs!

They saw our inspiration/ vision for the wedding and completely knew how to incorporate the design of the cake. The guests raved about the design and of course the taste of the cake- it was such a special addition to our wedding day. We are forever grateful!

d most beautiful cake I have ever seen & tasted! Thank you to confectionery designs for helping make our day so special. You all are incredible!!

dding dress and built it around the gorgeous ceramic Monique Lhuillier cake topper I bought before we even started thinking about our cake designs. We also came up with our own cake flavor and it was absolutely delicious. Marie was so lovely to work with. Not only was our cake amazing but all of the desserts at our cake table were. I'm so glad our wedding planner saved a box for us to take back with us so we could enjoy our treats! All of our guests raved about the cake. Blush was one of our wedding colors were blush and I had the sweetest surprise when we cut into our cake and the layer of raspberry filing was a pretty pink!

. Our wedding cake was absolutely gorgeous and delicious, guests are still raving over our cake days later! Thank you Marie and family, thank you will never be enough!

rk—both in design and in deliciousness—from Mark & Marie. My wedding planner was insistent we go with Confectionery Designs. She kept telling me: “They’re the best of the best and you want the best. Trust me on this one.” So we moved forward with hiring Confectionery without having tried any of their food. Their stunning designs and deep creativity—all researched through IG—were enough to sell me. At the least, I knew our cake would be so beautiful. But holy moly, I had no idea that it would be one of our best wedding decisions ever. Mark and Marie are truly the most delightful humans on the planet. They lead with kindness, openness. We wanted a design that was…complex…to say the least. We had a cake covered in hundreds—likely thousands—of sugar hydrangea leaves. On top of that, the cake had secret love notes from my husband and me in it, which we quietly read to each other at the wedding. Mark and Marie jumped on board the plan and gave it their all. It was a cake unlike anything we had ever seen before. It was a masterpiece! It was what my mother was most excited to see at the whole wedding. So after seeing it, here I thought, okay, well it’s beyond gorgeous. That’s the best gift ever! Who cares what it tastes like?! Then the first guest went into our dessert room, with sugar cookies, mini donuts, macarons, cheesecakes, key lime pies and beyond. She ran up to me with a plate full of sweets and told me it was the best dessert of her life. Then a second guest came up to me. Then a third, a fourth, a fifth. All were rave reviews. People were asking our wonderful caterers to bring them to-go boxes, so that they could eat their dessert the next day. I literally saw my grandfather leave with a cup full of canolis. Never had I ever heard of anyone loving wedding dessert so much. It was such an unexpected and pure joy! Then, I ate some leftover cake the next day and my mind was blown. I totally understood. It was the best cake I’ve ever eaten in my life. How could something so gorgeous just also be so delicious? Well that’s because of Mark & Marie. They can do anything. They are extraordinary and worth every single penny. Although I’m from out of state—and even out of country—I know I will be back to get more of their desserts. My planner was right: They are the best in every way.

oved while also pleasing our guests. Next, the presentation of our desserts and cake was tremendous! You can tell that they spent so much time ensuring that they were perfect! We are now almost one month married and our guests are still talking about our desserts. PLEASE do yourself a favor and hire confectionery designs - they made planning easy and everything was beyond amazing. Thank you so much to you and your wonderful team! I can't wait to hire you for my next event!

beyond delicious and perfectly designed, and the mini donuts we had at our after party were the biggest hit. If you're looking for a stunning wedding cake, delicious desserts, and an amazing partner for your wedding weekend, look no further!

g was easy. The final product was even better than I had hoped for. The cake was gorgeous and delicious. After the wedding, multiple guests remarked how good the cake was. I would definitely recommend hiring Confectionery Designs for your cake!

at to work with. The result was a stunning cake that was so delicious. Everyone loved it! We are so glad we chose Confectionery Designs!!

n’t stop talking about how it was not only the most beautiful cake they’ve ever seen, but the most delicious! I know many had multiple pieces. The professionalism and warmth working with Marie & Mark were unsurpassed! If you are lucky enough to be able to get this exceptional team, you won’t be sorry. I’m not aware of any other confectionery in their league…..Angela G

dream cake for my wedding including antique hydrangea sugar flowers on a bed of whimsical grass for my garden theme. Don't miss out on working with Mark and Marie, they are an incredible team!

my special day. They truly brought my vision to life, and not only was the cake beautiful but it also tasted incredible!! Wish I lived closer so I could visit their shop all the time.

e wanted. The tasting experience to determine what we wanted was above and beyond our expectations. Our original wedding date was May 2020 and they worked with us through all the pandemic changes.

Guests were raving through the night as they grabbed a dessert between songs on the dance floor, and we cannot say enough about Mark and Marie's service and attention to detail through the whole process. They even assisted us in adding extra cookies to the order just a few weeks before the big day, without any hassle.

mfort. I knew we were in the best of hands, and our guests continue to RAVE about the cake, desserts and donuts! Being in the wedding industry myself, I will continue to recommend the Confectionery Designs Team to anyone and everyone searching for the most delicious desserts and the best planning experience!

d an absolute delight to work with. I recommend Confectionary Designs to everyone looking for beautiful desserts for their special events

wedding date because of health concerns and in order to be fair to the vendors . All the vendors were honorable and refunded our money except for two. One was Marie. Maybe she does a great job with her product, but unfortunately she does not stand behind her word and lacks integrity.

flowers that aligned with our floral design for the evening and complimented our reception aesthetic perfectly. We cannot recommend Confectionery Designs enough! Thank you Marie and team for making our dreams come true!

ive, she actually helped me get stencils made of some custom illustrations so that she could put pictures of my cat on sugar cookies. And the cookies were delicious too! A+ all around.

couple guests from the wedding ask for their contact information to use them as well! From start to finish the whole experience was easy & stress free. Something we much appreciated, especially since we were planning during a pandemic!! We would absolutely use Confectionery Design again in the future for other events we have. Thanks to Marie & her team for making bomb desserts for our wedding!!

ghout the planning process and day of. This was one vendor I completely trusted from the start and didn't have to worry if they'd deliver -- they sure did! I cannot WAIT to eat our wedding cake on our anniversary! Seriously counting down the days.

uly perfect. A delicious, beautiful, unique cake that received countless compliments from our guests

trusted friend! Mark designed 3 cakes that perfectly fit the theme and vibe of our upscale boho wedding. The tasting experience was one of our favorite planning events and the cake cutting ( and eating) was a highlight of the wedding! Thank you Confectionary Designs!

cation throughout the planning was spot on, and I always felt confident that everything they did would be great. The Wedding Cake was not only beautiful, but it was Delicious as well. The Dessert Display was also as delicious as beautiful, and you can tell that this team takes pride in their work. I would highly recommend Confectionary Designs, they were really great!

sband for our tasting. We couldn't recommend a nicer, more professional pair to have baked our wedding desserts.

uests raving about the taste of our wedding cake, they exceeded ALL expectations I had of what our cake would look like. It was exquisite. SO in line with our theme of hand painted florals... I hope our photographer got my reaction because I cried.

ed to Confectionery Designs by several different vendors of mine. From day one, my experience with Marie was second-to-none, she took the time to go back and forth with me on cake fillings and flavors, pick up times, etc. There were never any hesitations from them when I had asked for unique cake fillings. Chef Soliday did an absolute incredible job with the entirety of the cake, from its flavor to its presentation. All of my guests are STILL raving about the quality and taste of the cake -- each had stated that it was "the best wedding cake they had ever had". If you are looking for great customer service and a top-quality cake, look no further than Confectionary Designs. I'm already counting down the days until I return back up North to visit their shop.

ion and what we wanted for our wedding cake and desserts. With that said, Marie and Mark totally delivered and executed everything perfectly. Hope to work with you guys again soon!

cated primarily with Marie who was extremely kind and accommodating for our Newport tasting...spoiler: every cake and icing we tasted was divine! My husband is Irish, and one of our favorite desserts is sticky toffee pudding. Being Irish herself, Marie loved the idea of recreating this flavor combination as a traditional wedding cake. Despite the fact that this cake is eaten warm, she and her very talented husband found a way to recreate sticky toffee pudding PERFECTLY, incorporating many of the proper ingredients used in the real dessert. We also had a secondary flavor of vanilla pound cake with layers of Baileys and hazelnut frosting. Both were so yummy, and we received several compliments! I cannot wait to dig into the complimentary mini tier Confectionery so kindly gave us!! Thanks so much!

s on the cake looked so real, and the colors were so vibrant, that our guests couldn't believe they were made of sugar! And the cake tasted as good as it looked - gorgeous! Everything about our experience was top notch. We were so happy!

n (their sugar flowers are incredible). We also had a dessert table with an assortment of mini desserts- all of our guests kept commenting on how delicious it was! I would highly recommend working with Mark and Marie-thank you for everything!

lly appreciate. Not to mention the cake was beautiful and delicious! It was exactly what we envisioned and tasted amazing, just as we expected. The best part was it was so artfully designed, but also had amazing flavor. We received so many compliments throughout the evening about how great it was. We pretty much ate the entire slice during our “cake cutting bites” because that’s how good it was. Thank you again to the entire team for an amazing sweet ending to our night!

the design and taste of our cake. I would recommend confectionary designs 100x over.

d delicious!

f the wedding planning process was the cake tasting. Thank you! Highly recommend Marie and her amazing Confectionery Designs staff!!!

of generic, they are TRUE ARTISANS - and they are as kind as they are talented. Within a few minutes of meeting, Mark understood my vision completely and what he created from it is one of the most talked about parts of our wedding. It was as delicious as it was beautiful (many guests had multiple servings!). They also made the most AMAZING bite-sized desserts that were also a huge hit. The whole process was seamless and easy - a big help when you’re juggling all different vendors. Thank you, Mark and Marie, for not just fitting our vision but completing it!!

le amount of time making sure that every detail was exactly what we wanted. They also made delectable confections for our dessert table. So many of our guests asked us for their information so that they could use them for their next event. I can't wait to order something from them for my next event. They are "The Top!"

unning, the taste was out of this world! I am so so happy I found them, their team was such a pleasure to work with! I can't wait for our one year anniversary to get to have another taste!

as it was the BEST cake I've ever eaten! We loved working with Marie on the details, flavors, and design it was a great experience and the execution on the day of the wedding was flawless. We hope to get out to her shop for reminiscent donuts soon!

ake were unbelievably DELICIOUS and looked so beautiful. Our cake was unreal. Marie requested to see my invitations and ordered stencils to match back to our invites. We were FLOORED by the outcome. It was absolutely STUNNING and tasted AMAZING!!!! We even packed up the leftover desserts to indulge the next day. They truly went above and beyond to make our cake and dessert dreams come true. They were such a pleasure to work with and we truly recommend working with them!!

was so hard to narrow down our flavors, but at least we were sure that we couldn’t go wrong with whatever we chose. Our wedding cake was absolutely beautiful and exactly what we imagined. Marie was in touch often in the weeks leading up to the wedding to be sure we were 100% happy. They also did mini desserts for us, and so many guests raved about all of them! It was such a beautiful display. Anyone getting married in the Newport area would be foolish to not have Confectionery Designs do their cake, they’re they best!

nd she delivered something beautiful. And the cake itself was delicious! Thank you Marie!! Dalila

is responsive, kind and goes above and beyond for her clients and Mark is a complete baking master-mind perfectly bringing our vision to life! Another great thing about Confectionery Designs is that their Gluten-Free options are also delicious (anyone who is gluten-free knows this is not always the case)! So delicious that you wouldn't even know that it is gluten-free - I am gluten-free and my husband is not and he thought all the gluten-free options were such as delicious as the others (and trust me, he's picky with his baked goods)! If you are looking for a bakery that will go above and beyond, be someone you enjoy working with and bake desserts that your friends/family will rave about - don't think twice and just hire Confectionery Designs! And if you hire them don't stop at just cake - all of their creations are delicious! My absolute all time favorite is their salted caramel French Macarons ... I could eat them every single day! Also, if you live in the area go to their shop and try some of their delicious donuts - you won't regret it!!

wonderful tasting, encouraged sharing wedding and gown details/photographs to personalize the cake, and shared what their final design would be. Mark is a true artist, creating a delicate floral branch that had guests thinking the florist had added it. Confectionery Designs also baked, decorated and wrapped beautiful, delicious, and uniquely shaped cookies as wedding favors. Perfection!

on for our wedding cake a reality. We also had them do cookies for our wedding favors which were also a hit! Without hesitation, I would recommend them.

so many compliments on not only the design of the cake, but also the taste. One thing we did want was a cake topper modeled after our three French Bulldogs and Marie made that happen. Confectionary Design’s cakes are pieces of art, and we are so happy with how everything turned out!

our wedding!

and Marie presented our dessert table was absolutely amazing. Art you can eat! Mark and Marie were able to capture our vision of our dessert table and far exceeded our expectations!

I had to have her donuts at my wedding. She was so sweet! Fast forward to the wedding day...OH MY...they were DELICIOUS! My husband and I only got to have two of the because they flew off the table. We still have people asking us who made them.We had cupcakes included in our venue package and the next morning we had 3 boxes leftover because everyone just wanted the donuts. For the service, taste, and presentation, you can't beat the price. We highly recommend! I can't to order from them again!

could not stop commenting on how good they were! The second my husband and I got back to our hotel I plopped myself down on the bed and indulged in one of the donuts and it was by far one of the best I've ever had. For my bridal shower brunch we did small favor boxes assorted with three different flavored macarons and they were to die for! Such a cute idea to go along with a bridal shower brunch. Not only was everything delicious and packaged so nicely they were so great to work with! So needless to say if you are looking for some tasty sweet treats to give as favors, or if you are interested in a donut bar or desert table Confectionery Designs is your go to!

at it again. Confectionary Designs can simply make anything and are happy to accommodate all of your needs! Thank you!

s, it was such a thoughtful and beautiful touch. We were happy with how our cake came out!

ose a simple design and two flavors and it came out great

ke royalty and made sure everything was perfect. It was truly the most delicious cake (let alone wedding cake) my husband and I have ever tasted. Thank you, Marie and Mark!
