Hi! Here's a little bit about me and my dessert obsession. When I was five, my grandmother would pull a stool up to the counter for me whenever she was baking. From her, I learned how to make the best pie crust ever! In my teens, I started working at my Aunt Millie's restaurant, learning to bake fabulous desserts for her dessert bar. After working in various professions, I realized my true passion and what inspires me the most was staring me right in the face. The closeness that develops over the months with my couples, creating their special vision and memories is what makes me the happiest.

We couldn't have been happier with our experience with Di Dolci Cakery! Annette created the most stunning and delicious dessert bar for our wedding, and it was a huge hit - our guests are still raving about it! The setup was absolutely beautiful, and the variety of desserts ensured there was something for everyone to enjoy. I also was very impressed with how communicative Annette was and really appreciated her knowledge and advice she offered when it came to setup and navigating which desserts to pick. We highly recommend Di Dolci and suggest a Dessert Bar to satisfy your guests sweet tooth!

Having Annette cater our deserts was a dream come true! I had her deserts at a wedding 6 months prior to ours and I just had to meet her and have her cater ours! From her cookies to the donuts and the creme Brulé everything was perfect! Annette was so sweet and made the experience so fun. The way she set up the dessert table was beautiful and had gotten so many complements! When scheduling with her, we let her know that we aren't big cake people but we love donuts and she surprised us with our own little donut tower in place of having a wedding cake. 100000/10 would recommend her to anyone!

We had a great experience with Annette. The process of booking, discussing the vision, and payment were so simple, and the cake tasted phenomenal. We absolutely loved how it was decorated, and the cake cutting was one of my favorite moments of the whole wedding!

I can't even begin to express how wonderful Annette's desserts tasted at our wedding. We had a dessert table, cake, plus the "bride and groom chocolate covered strawberries." There were so many choices and flavor assortments. Annette made the choosing process very simple. We got married in January of 2023. As soon I as I contacted Annette, I knew she would be amazing! Annette was very professional and always responded very quickly to any questions. I was a bit worried it would snow at our January wedding, and Annette assured me that she would find a way to deliver the desserts no matter what kind of weather condition that day. Annette was able to honor my husband's special dessert request! All our guests raved about our dessert table. In fact, almost a year later, friends and family still remind us how wonderful the dessert table was at our wedding! Thank you, Annette! :))

Absolutely amazing!!! Do not hesitate to book Annette for all of your wedding bakery needs. She was so responsive to all of our questions and was such a joy to work with. She was prompt with getting everything set up and ready and the guests LOVED everything she made! We requested Crème Brûlée for one of our desserts, and she went above and beyond. Along with that, she custom made us a cake with trees and mountains and even added the cutest birds. It’s was a work of art! We don’t have our wedding pictures back yet if the display, but trust me, it was all so beautiful!

From the presentation, communication, genuine sincerity and quality of work…Annette deserves all the stars.
A 16 foot dessert table with SO many flavor options, including gluten free!
My now husband and I have been to soooo many weddings, and we have never seen anything happen like this before.
THE DESSERT TABLE LINE WAS LONGER THAN THE BAR LINE!!!
I kid you not, there was a steady line for about 20 minutes. After those 20 minutes, all the dessert was gone. GONE!!!!
Everyone was incredibly thrilled with her baking and couldn’t stop raving about it/stuffing their faces and asking for her business card.
We will certainly be using Annette again in our future and I’m sure some of our guests will be in touch with her, too :)

Annette is honestly one of the sweetest people I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with! She puts so much thought and time into designing your dream dessert array for your wedding! Her carmel doughnuts are to die for…there was not a single doughnut left after our wedding. Annette is the best and I am so thankful that my now husband and I chose her for our wedding dessert! Could not recommend Di Dolci Cakery enough!!

Annette with Di Dolci Cakery was a pleasure to work with!! Her cupcakes and pie pops were loved by all of our guests! She offered so many unique and delicious flavors of cakes/frostings and pie pops that were almost too beautiful to eat! Annette was such a professional and she made everything about the process so easy for us! Her prices were amazing and the incredibly beautiful ways she displayed the goodies was beyond my expectations! We have since hired her to make a wonderful cat themed birthday cake for my husband!! Highly recommend Di Dolci♥️

Annette is an amazing talent and a super sweet
lady. She was wonderful to work with. I ordered my sons grooms cake from her and she knocked it out of the park!! I wanted a chocolate bourbon cake that looked like a bourbon barrel with cigars on top. Everyone at the rehearsal was amazed! It was spectacular! She also made the desserts and cake for their wedding! The set up was gorgeous and she thought of every detail. The guests could not stop talking about how delicious everything was, especially the donuts!! Thank you, Annette!!

We had cupcakes, donuts, cookies, and a cake topper. Every flavor was perfect and her presentation was just gorgeous! I couldn't believe my eyes! I kept wanting to just go stand by the dessert table because it turned out so beautifully! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Annette is AMAZING!
She was super easy to work with, understanding of budget, and easy to communicate via The Knot, over th phone, or via text message.
She made the most delicious cookies for my wedding (we seriously had to have people guard our cookie table before dinner so that people would stop eating the cookies before dinner) and she made a lot for a great price!
She took everything I told her I wanted for our dessert table and made it BETTER THAN WHAT I IMAGINED! She sent everything up and then also came back later to take everything down.
I could not say enough to recommend her, she’s just hands down absolutely wonderful.

The highlight of our wedding! We did pie instead of the traditional wedding cake and our guests couldn’t get enough of it! Annette was wonderful to work with, set up our display, and made sure she grabbed a hug from us before leaving for the night. Our guests continued to say that it was the best pie they ever had... no leftovers here!

I can't say nicer things about Annette. When I shared with her my vision for my wedding deserts and my limited budget, she readily looked at how to be flexible and meet my needs under constraints. She is so easy to communicate with and responsive. She used my grandmother's recipe for pumpkin squares, she provided support on crowd-pleasing choices from her repertoire to added variety (and stay within budget), and she provided a stunning table-scape that got us lots of compliments and fit our theme. And - most importantly - everything she makes is DELICIOUS. Annette, we love you and will continue to send NW Indiana brides/grooms your way!

Annette was our baker for our wedding and I honestly couldn’t have asked for anyone better! We had a cake for cutting and then did mini desserts for guests. Her display was beautiful and fit exactly into our theme. Everyone loved our dessert choices and she kept everything clean and replenished. She also was extremely accommodating to what we wanted for our day. It was a night to remember and a lot of that was thanks to Annette of Di Dolce Bakery! I would recommend her to anyone!!

Annette at Di Dolce Cakery made our wedding a day that we will never forget! From the moment I met her she has assisted me with several questions, recommendations and was very responsive. We had so many unforeseen circumstances with our venue and she helped see me through ALL of it, she exceeds expectations in both professionalism and character. My husband and I as well as our family just love her! Let’s talk sweets and cake... SIMPLY AMAZING! She created the most beautiful wedding cake, sweets table and decor that I have ever seen. She joyfully attended the wedding catering to our guests and keeping our table pristine the entire night. She even provided us (bride and groom) with a small sample plate of all our sweets so that we were able to try them all on our busy night- how thoughtful and sweet!
Our guests couldn’t stop telling us how delicious all of our sweets were. I cannot wait to celebrate our wedding all over again on our first anniversary when we eat our cake again.
Di Dolce Cakery is the best vendor for all of your wedding and special occasion bakery needs.
Annette, thank you for making our wedding night the best of our lives- we love you!

Di Dolci Cakery not only prepared delicious desserts for our wedding day which our guests were very pleased with, but also provided a wonderful dessert display which really added to the overall look and feel of our reception. We were so happy with the way that the display and the desserts turned out and our guests are still talking about how great they were! Di Dolci offers so many options that we had no trouble picking a variety that would complement our taste and what we thought our guests would appreciate. Annette from Di Dolci was also very flexible, offering us a custom cutting cake for a very reasonable cost and ensuring that allergens were accounted for. We would absolutely recommend Di Dolci!
