Our cake flavors were:

- Vanilla cake with Dulce de Leche buttercream
-Red velvet cake with vanilla buttercream
Every flavor combination was delicious and above expectation.

r cakes were for us, as I’ve never tasted icing as smooth, creamy, fluffy and light as hers. It also wasn’t super buttery and not too sweet. Our favorite flavors were the almond cake with white chocolate raspberry frosting and the lemon cake with the blackberry frosting. I also had a more complicated design and Jesi nailed it! So happy that we went with her!

When we did a tasting with Jesi, we didn’t plan on making a decision the same day. After a few bites, we knew we found our baker! The cake was amazing, and we immediately felt at ease that she would make everything perfect.
On the day of, Jesi setup everything beautifully and our guests LOVED the cake. We had very health conscious individuals that came back multiple times for cake. She also helped accommodate our dietary restrictions with cupcake alternatives.
This is one of the best decisions we made for our wedding and highly recommend her!

to work with throughout the entire planning process, super professional, and so kind! I still remember having the sweetest conversation with her during our consultation/cake tasting. She let us try multiple flavors of both cake and icing that we were considering, and because we couldn’t pick just one, she offered to make us a different flavor for each tier of our cake. Not only was our cake absolutely beautiful, but my guests to this day still talk about how great the cake was. Five stars!

We had Jessi make our wedding cakes for our March 2024 wedding! Both of the cakes were delicious and our guests really enjoyed them.
When we met with Jessi for our consultation, ...
she stated that she makes her couples a 1st anniversary cake. With that being said, we did not worry about saving our top tier. However, when our anniversary came around and when we tried to reach out via text and Instagram, we were ignored.
Overall, we enjoyed our wedding cakes and our guest raved about them!
Response from Dolce Designs on 07/18/2025
Hi Lauren. It took me a while to figure out who you were when I saw this review because I ...
mostly communicated with your Mother in law Maria throughout the process and she is the one who booked me. I do not have an Instagram message from you but I did find a text from you and I apologize I did not reply right away because I needed to figure out who you were first (it’s also always best to reach me via email because I get a ton of texts and they sometimes get buried). However I also have a text from your mom in law Maria asking for your anniversary cake and I told her I could have it for you guys that weekend. So I’m not sure if maybe she did not communicate that to you guys but I was willing and able to make it for you that week. If you want to text me or email me I can show you the texts with her. I’m really sorry this happened and can still make you an anniversary cake if you’d like.

allergy, so Jesi suggested we let him pick the flavor and sent me home with some samples for him to try. He loved being included in that way. Our flavors - lemon/mixed berry icing, chocolate/chocolate, and vanilla/vanilla - were each incredible. Jesi was so sweet and wonderful to work with. I highly recommend choosing her to make your wedding cake.

have to. I was super happy with everything! Communicating with her was so easy from start to finish. She is professional, quick to respond, as well as kind and friendly! She is an incredibly talented soul. The cake was gorgeous and the taste was absolutely AMAZING - I think I ate 4 or more whole cupcakes in one sitting at my tasting lol…she makes delicious cookies and macarons as well. We requested a gluten free tier on our cake (since my now…husband is gluten intolerant - which was super important for us)! And she was awesome and understanding to do that for us! It tasted so good I couldn’t really tell a difference (two of the flavors were the same but one gluten free and one regular). Jesi is an extremely talented baker and was one of my favorite vendors to work with throughout my entire wedding planning process. We were extremely happy with our cookies, macarons, and wedding cake! From the communication, colors, display, all the way down to the taste, everything turned out perfect. She is fantastic! :)

e an amazing design, guiding us what each layer should look like and how they fit together as a whole. Our cake was a 4 tier cake: Vanilla with Lavender cream, Almond with Cookie Butter cream, Vanilla with Dulce de Leche cream, and Strawberry with Matcha Green Tea cream. We got our own topper and asked her to include it on the cake and to place fresh flowers from our florist. She listened to our requests and it came out better than we expected! Please do reach out to Jesi for a tasting as her cakes are certainly unique. What stood out the most was how her buttercreams did not have a gritty sugar texture and was not overwhelmingly sweet. We did many tastings around Houston, and hers was the best in flavors, taste, and price. We hope to reach out to her again for more celebrations in the future!

d I kept thinking it until our cake tasting. My now-husband and I were completely blown away by all the incredible and distinct flavors packed into every bite. If I'm being honest, other than getting married, her cake is what I was looking forward to the most. I reached out a few times to ask a question or two, and she would get back to me within a few days; her weekends are always busy with all the cakes she makes and her family! She kept in touch the week of the wedding on 11/12/2022 and asked about all the small details to make sure everything was perfect. The cakes (a Wedding cake and a Groom's cake) were far better than I could have ever imagined them. They really took my husband's and my breath away. I could not have asked for a better experience. The cakes were so good that there was hardly a slice left! I cannot recommend a better cake baker. She will absolutely exceed your expectations and round out your wedding day with the perfect cake.

We were worried about finding a cake baker for our wedding because every wedding we’ve been to the cake has been mediocre. We did some tastings around Houston but weren’t impressed...
. We almost settled for just some “ok” cake. Then, we found Jesi at Dolce Designs and scheduled a tasting. Firstly, best tasting ever! We were able to try 3 different flavor cakes and 3 different frosting options. They have SOOO many different options so it was hard to choose, but at the tasting we were just blown away with everything. Jesi was so friendly and knowledgeable and what we tasted was so good. We knew right away during the tasting that Jesi was going to be our wedding cake baker.
We decided to do a 2 tier wedding cake with chocolate cake on bottom, almond on top and nearly naked dulce de leche frosting. When we finally saw the final product we were blown away. Jesi had done such a great job at designing our cake, it was absolutely beautiful. The best part though, it was amazingly delicious. We had 2 pieces of cake left over after the wedding. Our friends and family are still raving about the cake.
So, we want to give Jesi at Dolce Designs our highest compliment. You blew us away and we are so grateful!
