I can't say enough amazing things about Gisela and the wedding cake she made for us! We live in Florida so she was willing to work with us on a cake tasting date when we were in Charleston doing our other wedding planning. We got to choose 4 ...
flavors to try and were blown away by the White Chocolate Raspberry. Our cake at the wedding was so beautiful! Gisela arranged the flowers on the cake for us and it looked like a photo straight from a Pinterest page. We've all had cake at a wedding that looks beautiful but tastes just ok, right? This cake was NOT that, it tasted even better than it looked! We had multiple people telling us this was the best wedding cake they've ever had. On top of the quality of the cake itself, Gisela worked with me through the rescheduling of our wedding during the pandemic even while having to reschedule her own wedding. She's amazing to work with and her cakes are incredible!

Gisela helped our wedding visions come true. The cake was delicious and she was amazing to work with. The cakes were the talk of the wedding. Any lowcountry bride would be lucky to have her make their cake!!!!
Dessert Designs by Gisela far surpassed anything I could have ever hoped for. I reached out to her just 3 weeks before my sons wedding to ask if she could provide cookies as favors. Given the short notice I wasn’t going to be surprised if her ...

xactly what we want. She takes her time listening to every detail to make sure each dessert is exceptional!

We can't say enough nice things about the customer service, taste, or designs this company provides. No matter your event this is the place to go for all your tasty treat needs!

ent customer service. I wouldn’t go anywhere else for desserts!
I don't even know where to begin. I first would like to say that I will never go anywhere else for my sweets besides Gisela. She is professional and affordable. She provided my wedding cake back in November of 2017. It was literally my dream ca...
ke! We had a beautiful semi-naked butter cream cake with sweet raspberry filling. My guests could not stop raving about how good it was. We loved it so much that my husband and I ordered a mini cake after the wedding to enjoy for ourselves. I also used Gisela for my girlfriend's bridal shower cookies. Everyone at her bridal shower at first did not want to eat any of the cookies because of how pretty they were, but then could not stop eating them because of how delicious Gisela's sugar cookies were. I write all these good things to also say that she is affordable!!!!!! That is a big part when budgeting for a wedding. You want to make sure that you have the best quality and can afford the best quality. Gisela surpassed my expectations in both categories. I love supporting small businesses and will continue to support Gisela for all my future events.
I cannot say enough great things about this bakery. The cake and cookies for my bridal shower were all absolutely stunning. Gisela did things with cake that I never thought possible. All my guests were wow’d and kept talking about how moist and...
delicious the cake was & to top it all off the communication, vision and delivery were all on point.
Gisela is a true professional! I ordered cupcakes for a bridal shower and they were delicious and beautiful. Communication was on point and I’ve never had a better experience!
I loved working with Gisela. She was so easy to communicate with and so sweet. Told her exactly what I wanted for my sisters bridal shower cookies and they exceeded my expectations !! They were perfect ! And so very delicious. I will definitely...
be ordering from her again !!
Gisela made two cakes for our wedding- a beautiful white buttercream that she decorated with blue ribbon and flowers from the venue, and a groom’s cake with a raspberry filling. The cakes were BEAUTIFUL. My husband admittedly gave Gisela little...
direction for his cake- she took it and made it so much better than either of us imagined! Everyone raved about how they tasted- and the cake we had in the fridge was still moist and delicious a week later after we got back from our honeymoon. Thanks so much Gisela! :)
