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! :))

These desserts were absolutely delicious! Our guests raved about them during the reception and afterwards. The table was also set up beautifully, it exceeded my expectations with how good it looked. Thank you for a wonderful dessert table and a beautiful setup!

Any questions?

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!

Every aspect of working with Annette was incredible. She was professional, sweet, and creative. Everything she created for us looked and tasted amazing. Our guests loved everything. I couldn't recommend working with Annette more! She helped make our special day even more special!

It was my utmost pleasure to play such a small roll in your beautiful wedding! It's couples like you that make it seem so easy! Thanks again!!!

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!!

5/24/2023 • Casey S

Annette is wonderful! Very nice, great at communicating, and she provided delicious cupcakes and a beautiful set up for my wedding day. Thank you!

10/09/2022 • Jennifer S

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♥️

BEST DESSERTS EVER!!!! I absolutely loved working with Annette, she truly made my dessert dreams come true!!!! She has some of the best donuts I have ever had! She created a whole spread for my wedding including our cake, everyone raved about it for days!!!!

10/03/2022 • Lucy T

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!!

Response from the Vendor on 10/11/2022

Your whole family was just precious and made everything super easy for me! I loved every minute!

Let me just start off with saying that Annette was the sweetest person ever! She was such a pleasure to work with, and her sweets were just as sweet as her! Everyone was raving about how good the donuts and cupcakes were at the end of the night and my vegan pals loved the vegan chai cupcakes! Don't look any further if you're looking for a beautiful cake and dessert display that taste absolutely phenomenal. Thank you so much for everything Annette!

Response from the Vendor on 09/22/2021

Thank you so much for your kind words. It was my pleasure playing a small roll in your very special day. You and your mom are both super great people, hugs!!

Annette was awesome. She's not only incredibly talented, but so sweet! She was wonderful to work with. Every single dessert on our dessert table was to die for. 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.

Response from the Vendor on 09/18/2020

I absolutely loved having the opportunity to plan and execute all of your wonderful ideas and visions. Being able to watch your family and friends share your very special day touched my heart immensely. I send my love and blessings to you both ...

for a long, loving and prosperous life together. ~Annette❤

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.

Response from the Vendor on 02/11/2020

Thank you so much Meghan for your kind words! I'm so happy that I could play such a small roll in your special day. It was such a joy meeting you both and working with you over the months.....to make your sweets table a hit for all your guest,...

and something they will talk about for years to come. Best wishes to you both! ~Hugs, Annette

Annette is the sweetest and was very pleasant to work with. She gave us everything we dreamed of and more! I appreciated her professionalism and willing to accommodate our wedding desires. She even went above and beyond at our tasting! At our wedding the desserts were a hit and we received lots of compliments on the dessert bar and presentation. You have another satisfied customer, thank you for making our day even more special!

Response from the Vendor on 07/21/2019

Thank you sooo much Alicia! My wish for you both is to have a long and loving marriage. You both deserve it! ~Sending BIG hugs!💖

7/08/2019 • Kara O

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!

6/25/2019 • Ashley R

Annette did such a beautiful job with our cupcakes and cake. It looked so beautiful and everyone enjoyed them at our wedding! Thank you so much, Annette! -Ashley

10/25/2018 • Nicole M

Annette is absolutely amazing! She really cares for her clients and goes above and beyond to take care of them. She did our sweets table for both my bridal shower and our reception and was by far the biggest hit at both. I would definitely recommend her to any and everyone!!

10/15/2018 • Sue A

Annette is such a joy to work with and her dessert table is absolutely beautiful and delicious! She listens to your needs and delivers on your vision! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a fantastic selection of desserts.

Response from the Vendor on 10/15/2018

Thank you so much Sue! I loved every minute hosting out at Shady Creek. The atmosphere is a brides dream come true, and your wines are fabulous too! Thanks again!

10/10/2018 • Robin A

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!

Response from the Vendor on 10/11/2018

Awww......Robin you just made my day! For me,it was just like being around family. Everyone at Shady Creek especially your sweet mom, she was absolutely the sweetest and so instrumental in all aspects of the planning process. I can't wait to he...

ar the wonderful stories she will tell me about you and John over the nest years and a glass of wine, lol! Can't wait to see what the future has in store for you both. Best wishes and lot's of love! ~ Annette

9/27/2018 • Carlye F

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!!

Response from the Vendor on 09/28/2018

Awwwww.....It was every bit my pleasure to help play such a small role in your big day Carlye! Even as busy as you were, you popped out for a quick moment to graciously take a picture with me and sneak a peek at your desserts. I wish you and Jo...

e lot's of love, laughs, and happiness in the coming future..~Annette

Annette truly made our special day amazing. Our dessert table looked like something straight from a magazine. We had no worries about keeping our desserts out. She made sure everything was taken care of. Thank you for everything!

Response from the Vendor on 10/03/2018

You two are the cutest by far! Glad I could play a small part in your special day.

9/21/2018 • Jessica W

Annette was really easy to work with and she had very fair prices. We had a lot of food allergies to work with (gluten, dairy, egg) and she was very accommodating and no one got sick! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for cupcakes for their wedding!

Response from the Vendor on 10/03/2018

Thank you for your kind words, you looked absolutely amazing by the way!

9/04/2018 • L S

I had two issues with this vendor: 1. She ran out of desserts and all of my guests were not served (maybe half were). We paid per person. It was really embarrassing. 2. After that, I received an email (a few days after the wedding) asking for more money saying she accidentally undercharged me. It was very odd, especially considering she ran out of desserts! I cannot recommend this vendor.

Response from the Vendor on 09/19/2018

To address the above review, as the owner of Di Dolci Cakery, I would like to point out that I did not have a wedding on my books for the above date "07/19/2018". Also, I was never personally contacted by any bride or parent of a bride in refer...

ence to running out of desserts for a wedding. I always tell my brides when they order desserts, that as a rule of thumb they can usually count on each guest taking 1-2 desserts each. I recommend NOT having plates at the "sweets table" because guest will always fill up the plate with one of everything and they may run the possibility of not having enough for each guest to try. This option is totally their call of course, and could definitely happen. I always make more than ordered to help keep this from happening but can't always control it. In regards to the second point in the above review, in all of the 11 years of service to over 400+ weddings. I have never, ever, sent out an email with an invoice attached after the couple are already married stating that I have "accidentally under charged them and ask for additional money! That is so tacky and very unprofessional. I take the utmost pride in customer service as you can read from previous reviews, and would never stoop so low. I would think and hope that if the above instance where to ever happen, that someone would first contact me personally with their questions or concerns in order that I might be able to rectify the situation. I also do not recognize the initials L S as stated in the above senders review? Thank you!
