Leigh was very quick to respond and to answers any questions we had. She was very well organized and had everything laid out for us to choose different cake and filling flavors! It was so hard to choose just one flavor… so we chose 3 different ones for a 3 tier cake! The frosting is hands down the best frosting we have ever tasted. We got so many comments and compliments from our wedding guests about how it was “the best cake they’ve ever had”! I also have to mention that we made a few last minute decisions and Leigh was more than flexible and accommodating! She also made us gluten free and sugar free cupcakes for our guests with special diets. We can’t recommend her enough for any of you cake needs.

Bryn & Lauren. Thank you so much! Your wedding was such a joy and I am so grateful to have had a part in it. I wish you both a lifetime of happiness together.

Amazing! Leigh really took the time to get to know us as a couple and make our vision come to life. Our cake was delicious, unique, beautiful, and unforgettable.
Response from the Vendor on 07/21/2024
Thank you so much! I LOVED working with you. It is such a blessing to meet such amazing people and when you know, you know, just how special someone is. I wish you both a lifetime of love and happiness.

We ordered a variety of desserts from Leigh for a dessert table at our wedding. She was super open to baking items that were not on her initial menu, so we were able to add little personalized touches to our dessert table. However, above all Leigh was an absolute delight to work with. It was apparent how seriously she takes her craft and wants for her customers to be 100% happy with the product she is producing. Our dessert table was a huge hit at our wedding and I’d recommend EastLeigh desserts to whoever wants a seamless and customizable dessert experience for any event.
Any questions?

DELICIOUS!! Very fair pricing for amazing cake and cupcakes. We had looked at another baker previously who failed to ever respond. EastLeigh Desserts responded promptly and was very helpful guiding me and my fiancé with figuring out what our vision for our cake and cupcakes. Everything we asked for was delivered on time, she did amazing at setting up our cake and cupcakes at the venue. The cake and cupcakes were moist, fluffy, balanced and absolutely delicious! Everyone loved them, many even had 2 cupcakes! Thank you so much EastLeigh for helping make our day extra special!

The best wedding cake we ever had!! I especially recommend the strawberry/champagne infused cake. DELICIOUS and BEAUTIFUL. Not too sweet or too creamy, just perfect.
My son got married in Nashville, October 2023 as a destination wedding. As we are from Georgia, I did not want to risk bringing a fancy wedding cake on a 3 hour drive, so I looked for a bakery in the Nashville area. I stumbled across Eastleigh bakery and their 5 star review. As I spoke with Leigh about what the bride wanted, she was very friendly, accomodating and knowledgable. My husband has an egg allergy and she reassured me this would not be a problem and it was not. He was able to partake without any issues. And even in this day and technological age, Leigh was kind enough to take a check from me for payment!
Leigh and her confections come highly recommended. You will not be disappointed but delighted!

Miss Judith!
What a lovely review! Thank you so very much. Without clients like you who are willing to take a chance on me, my business would not only not grow but cease to exist. Because of you, I am able to pursue what I love and I am fore...
ver grateful. Thank you. ❤️

Leigh was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding cake and dessert bar for our special day! She made our dessert bar absolutely stunning and literally not even one dessert was left because it was such a hit with our guests! PS- She made groom's cookies (we decided to do those instead of a groom's cake) and they were all Red Sox themed and true perfection! Thank you Leigh for going above and beyond!

We hired Leigh for desserts at our wedding and were thrilled with her work! I showed her photos of what I envisioned and she created it from her scratch kitchen. Absolutely beautiful cupcakes with flowers, cake pops decorated as bride and groom, naked layered cake exactly as I described and delicious cookies!! We would hire her again in a heartbeat. Reasonably priced, very professional and such a sweet woman to top it off. Highly recommend Eastleigh desserts!
Response from the Vendor on 05/30/2023
Thank you so much! I was honored to be part of your day and wish you both the best on your adventure together. ❤️

Leigh was professional and great to work with. We had a tasting with her beforehand, which was so fun and informative. The cake and sweet treats on the day of did not disappoint! Would highly recommend!

I ordered a cake for my daughter’s graduation. Leigh was fantastic to work with and created a beautiful cake for my daughter. It was exactly what we asked for and Leigh went over the top to ensure that it was perfect. The cake was so flavorful and moist. I have never tasted buttercream so delicious. I will use East Leigh again for every cake in the future!!!
5/22/2023 • Ashley S
Will recommend Leigh with EastLeighDesserts to anyone and everyone! She blew us away with our wedding cake! Not only was it stunning to look at, but it was the most delicious cake I’ve ever had!! I will be using her again for all birthday parties and celebrations in the future 🤍

Leigh was great to work with from the start. She was at the venue right on time and the cake and dessert table were delicious and beautiful.
11/02/2022 • Carolyn H
My daughters wedding cake was not only gorgeous, it was absolutely delicious! We chose four cake flavors. I honestly couldn’t tell which one I loved more… yes I tasted all of them at the wedding, lol! Everything about the day was perfect. The cake was like the cherry on top! You and your guest will be very satisfied! xoxo

BOOK HER. Seriously. She’s incredible. So personable, so nice, communicated with us and answered all questions. Her cakes are delicious!!!!
7/16/2022 • Amanda G
Amazing!!
The cake, the cupcakes, the cake pop, the pie shooters! Everything. Not only did they look good but they tasted amazing as well. She really has done her research on her cakes, what ingredients do better with the climate and so on. You will definitely not be disappointed.
10/10 would recommend to everyone!
3/24/2022 • Emily S
Leigh made us the most stunningly beautiful cake for our wedding! My husband was getting deployed and she was still able to create a cake based on some photos I showed her and it turned out even better than I expected. Not only was the cake beautiful and delicious, but Leigh was prompt in answering emails and texts, and super friendly and helpful the whole way! I would highly recommend her awesome work!!
Response from the Vendor on 03/24/2022
Sweet Emily!! How beautiful. Thank you so very much. Reviews are so very important and I cannot tell you how much this means. I am just so sad I didn’t get to meet you both in person. You were a joy to work with and I wish you both happiness ...
as you begin this new chapter.
Best,
Leigh

I wish i could give Leigh 10 stars. We opted for a small cake for pics and a dessert bar. Everything was AMAZING. My cake stand was too small (and a little wobbly-thanks Amazon!) and Leigh provided a cake stand and a display for the other desserts. She was so wonderful to work with and i recommend her to any Nashville couple!
Response from the Vendor on 03/22/2022
Dear sweet Alexis,
Thank you for writing this review! I appreciate it so very much and am so glad you were happy with everything. It was such an honor to share in your special day. I wish you all the best! ❤️
3/13/2022 • Kim K
I would give East Leigh Desserts more than 5 stars if I could. Not only were Leigh’s desserts beautiful and delicious (and as a food professional I am the most picky ever!!) but Leigh was absolutely wonderful to work with! The best of all the vendors I worked with to ensure a beautiful rehearsal dinner.
Can’t recommend her enough!
Response from the Vendor on 03/13/2022
Thank you, Kim! It was an honor and a privilege to work with you to create a beautiful event for your lovely family. Thank you again for the opportunity! ❤️

If you have food allergies or need a gluten-free cake (celiac, sensitivities, etc), Leigh is awesome.
Leigh was amazing from start to finish. Our cake looked fantastic and tasted great (we had the blueberry lemon and chocolate bourbon - we couldn't decide which).
She was especially great since the groom has celiac and 'good' gluten-free cakes are hard to find. Honestly, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the gluten-free or a 'regular' cake at all.

Leigh was absolutely amazing!! We enjoyed working with her from the first time we met with her to do a cake tasting - she provided us multiple samples and they were generous portions. All of the samples we tried were delicious!! My husband's favorite was the strawberries and creme - he raved about it for weeks after trying it!! haha.
We used Leigh to make our Groom's Cake for the Rehearsal Dinner (our wedding venue made our ceremony cake). She designed it to look like a tree trunk with our initials carved in it. Everyone was amazed by how cute it looked and how great it looked on display. Our flower girl even stuck her finger in it because she did not want to wait! haha
The strawberries and creme was a crowd pleaser!! People kept going back for more and raved about how great it was weeks afterwards. It was such a great hit, we are hiring Leigh to make a wedding cake for our big October reception party.
Our other favorite flavors were the white wedding cake with the raspberry buttercream and the white wedding cake with the dulce de leche buttercream. So we're going to do a three layer cake with those two and of course the strawberries and creme.
We loved Leigh so much and are excited to have an opportunity to use her again!

Leigh was awesome throughout the whole process of our wedding planning! She prepared the best tasting experience for us and created a work of art in the form of cake!
She took it upon herself to contact my point of contact for drop-off prior to me making the introduction and was super punctual with responses to my questions and with drop-off as well! The cake was so delicious and unique, as my husband and I opted for the strawberries and cream for one layer and white wedding cake with dulce de leche filling for the other! We highly recommend EastLeigh Desserts for cake!
Response from the Vendor on 05/26/2021
Sweet Regan,
Thank you for your kind and beautiful review. I appreciate it so very much. It was my absolute joy and honor to be part of your and Caleb’s special day. I’m so excited for you both to begin this new chapter together and wish you...
a lifetime of happiness. ❤️❤️
Best,
Leigh

Cannot rave about Leigh enough! What a wonderful experience all the way through the process for my daughter’s Wedding cake and Groom’s cake!
One warning though, be prepared to not be able to make a decision because all of her cake samples were fantastic!
Can’t wait for the next excuse to have Leigh make another cake for us!!!
4/30/2021 • Jennifer C
We ordered a vanilla cake with white chocolate filling and buttercream icing for our daughter’s engagement party. It was the most delicious cake I’ve ever had. The buttercream icing was spot on!! And it was beautifully decorated! We are from out of town and rented a room downtown Nashville. The cake was promptly delivered. Leigh was amazing to work with! If you want the best tasting wedding cake around, use EastLeigh Desserts!

Leigh is amazing! Very quick turnaround time for responsiveness, very flexible with planning and ideas and most importantly, beautiful and delicious cakes! We’ve been repeat customers since 2018!

Leigh was amazing! Our desert table was a show stopper at the wedding. She showed up, made a beautiful display w/even little signs:) Covid postponed our reception but Leigh was so great at accommodating our ever changing date. She even made the our cake gluten free for my husbands (now allergy). You wouldn’t even know it was GF unless we told you! We can’t say enough how amazing all her deserts were! Thank you Leigh!!!!

Lee was absolutely amazing but most importantly amazingly delicious. I hired her to create a winter wonderland for my daughters Quinceañera. We had a Desert Table filled with candy, cookies, chocolate covered strawberries and the Cake. Everything was beautifully displayed. Totally elegant almost too pretty to eat. I can’t tell you how everyone was asking who did the deserts.
Lee is my only baker I would hire. I just called her again to do my daughters 17 birthday cake never fails the detail and the taste.
Thank you for always being so creative and helping create my ideas.

Working with Leigh was super easy since we were out of state customer. Leigh was even helpful with sending pictures and prices via email and text messaging. The cake was more more then what I was expecting. Our cake was fresh and very delicious. I would highly recommend her to anyone local or anyone eloping.
Response from the Vendor on 03/02/2020
Dear, sweet DAndra,
Thank you! It was my honor and privilege to have a small part in your big day. All the best to you and your new husband! ❤️❤️

Working with Leigh, gave me confidence that the cake will turn out exactly the way I wanted it. Every detail of the design of the cake (images of mountains and the trees, with sugared berries and fresh orchids) was perfect. We chose chocolate, cinnamon, and lemon flavors, and all of the guests absolutely loved the taste of the cake.

EastLeigh Desserts provided a dessert table at our bridal tea. Leigh was fantastic to work with, but mostly the desserts tasted wonderful and the table presentation was beautiful. I would highly recommend EastLeigh Desserts for any event in need of a beautiful and tasty dessert table.

Leigh from EastLeigh Desserts is the best of the best, I can't say that enough! I recently had a wedding in the mountains and told her my fiancé and I were not the typical couple, and wanted everything to reflect our adventurous spirits. Leigh came through exceptionally and then some! Her attention to detail was amazing; every single thing on the dessert table display reflected our relationship and the way we wanted our wedding to look. We've been married just over a month and I am STILL getting comments from guests at our wedding about the desserts and how delicious they were and just how beautiful her display was. If you are looking for a baker for your special day, look no further than EastLeigh Desserts. She does an amazing job of really getting to know you as a couple, making the whole experience so personable and just top notch service. She also made a point to get to know our guests and I know so many of them loved talking to her - she has such a sweet spirit which is just the icing on the cake ;) when hiring her!
If you are a bride that wants something out of the ordinary and unique to YOU for your dessert table at your wedding or event, Leigh is your girl.
My name is Leigh and I am the Executive Baker and owner of EastLeigh Desserts. We offer cakes, dessert tables or a combination of both. Each wedding is a special event and I work with couples to have the dessert reflect who they are together while providing a delicious experience for their guests.
