Our cake was beautiful and delicious - exactly what we wanted!
Our cake was so beautiful and delicious. Laura did an amazing job. Everyone commented about how beautiful it was.
The moment we met with Laura we knew that we met a baker who truly is passionate for her work. Our cake was a beautiful 5 tier cake - the cake of our dreams! We had a wonderful time sampling her delicious cake flavors and fillings. It was really hard to decide on a flavor since it was so good! We had an absolutely delicious cake that really made the wedding that much better! Laura was so kind and had wonderful communication with us during the whole wedding planning process!!
Our wedding cake was truly a work of art. Absolutely beautiful with intricate lace fondant and some textured tiers to create the contrast and elegant look we hoped for. We were so glad we decided to have Laura create sugar flowers for it rather than using fresh flowers, she is incredibly skilled in making stunning, detailed sugar flowers. Laura was great to work with and took a very personal approach to make sure it turned out just as we wanted. And she even designed a special spot for our pups! Her red velvet cake and white chocolate mousse were so delicious. She delivered the cake herself on the day of our wedding and set it up just how we wanted it. We highly recommend Elegance in Sugar!
Laura’s work is amazing!! From our initial discussions to our cake tasting meeting and then to our actual wedding day finished cake, we had the best experience working with her. She is so talented and her cakes are so tasty. She created all the sugar flowers on our cake by hand, they look like real flowers, so beautiful! Our wedding cake was truly a focal point of our reception and we really enjoyed looking at it and eating it! We can’t wait for our first anniversary to experience the greatness again. Thanks Laura!!!
Laura is such a pleasure to work with! Upon meeting with her for the first time, I could tell instantly that she takes such pride in her work and she is a true professional. She helped my husband and I build the most gorgeous wedding cake with her expertise and attention to detail. We had guests raving all night about how delicious the cake was!
Laura was AMAZING to work with! She's professional, reliable, personable, talented and detailed. Her cake testing was very thorough and she was more than happy to accommodate any request. Her flavors were very tasty and we opted for a white cake with almond mousse and raspberry jam. We received numerous compliments on the taste, as well as the gorgeous design. She truly took our vision and made it come to life! You will not be disappointed at all when you choose Laura!
Laura was amazing to work with and our cake was BEAUTIFUL! we showed her a picture of an idea we had and she created the cake perfectly. Taste was amazing as well, best cake I’ve ever had at a wedding!
It is absolutely insane to be as talented as Laura! Not only was the cake amazing with how it looked and tasted, Laura was incredible to work with! You can tell that she is such a sweet and genuine person! I will be recommending Laura to absolutely everyone! Thank you Laura!
Where to begin with Laura....her cakes are sweet, but so is she. Her cakes are masterpieces and the sugar flowers are beyond beautiful! After serving her cake at my daughter's bridal shower, people wanted the wedding cake before dinner. What can I say, her cakes are pure perfection...thank you Laura!
Seriously do not go looking for anyone else to make your cake. Laura is absolutely THE BEST EVER!!! Her cakes are BEAUTIFUL, tasty and she is awesome to work with. Thank you Laura for making the most amazing wedding cake for us.
Ugh! Laura is a dream! So kind and passionate about what she does. Did I mention the cake is the most delicious thing I’ve ever eaten. We considered eating our top tier the day after the wedding and not saving it for our 1 year anniversary! Laura is professional and just amazing to work with. I can’t say enough good things
Laura is very professional and immediately gave us confidence that she knows what she’s doing. The cake tasting was fun and her cakes are so beautiful and delicious! The wedding cake day of turned out exactly how we requested and tasted amazing!
Our cake was beautiful and tasted amazing. Laura is great to work with and we have been getting cakes from her for years. You will not be disappointed!
Our wedding cake by Laura was amazing!! She was super easy to work with and our cake came out exactly as imagined. Not to mention, it tastes phenomenal! Would definitely recommend!
I am SO happy I chose Laura for our wedding cake. It was PERFECT! Laura is so easy to work with, organized, quick to respond, and professional. She was on time and just a great energy to work with. I cannot say enough great things about her work - the cake was AMAZING. We had a longer engagement and took our time, so didn't book many vendors on the spot, but as soon as we had her cake at the tasting, we knew we had to book her right then so no one else snagged her for our date!!! The best cake I've ever had - and our guests kept talking about it too!! My husband keeps staring at the 1-year anniversary top layer in the freezer and I have a hunch it won't make it to 1 year lol! The cake was absolutely worth every penny, we are so happy. We had a simple cake but I know that you can definitely trust Laura with anything you envision - she is so talented! Cannot thank her enough!!!!!!! You will be so happy to pick her for your event!!!!
Laura is absolutely amazing at what she does. She helped us design and create our dream wedding cake. The cake also tasted absolutely delicious. She is a pro at what she does, and you know you will end up having the most amazing cake if you select her as a vendor. I would highly recommend Laura and Elegance in Sugar to anyone!
After looking at probably a thousand cake designs online, we just couldn’t find one that was stylish and had a little bit of a music flair that my daughter wanted for her wedding. That’s when we asked Laura to help come up with a new cake design. She was so exciting to work with and creative too! She came up with using a musical note lace surrounding every other layer. This is a newer technique that is very hard to do unless you are an excellent sugar artist like Laura! My daughter also wanted a “chandelier” look, a little bling, one layer that lit up, a few music notes, and shades of pink flowers. The cake top combined a bass clef and tremble clef to make a heart. I was so excited to see this cake come together and be gorgeous and colorful as well! The whole cake was real and everyone loved the taste. The owner of the hall also commented how she could tell all the cakes from Elegance in Sugar when they are cutting up slices in the kitchen because they smell so good. Her guest count is very accurate and they can cut very good pieces to serve without being short on slices. I never seen so many guests take pictures of the cake! The bridal party loved the cake so much that they wanted to eat more the day after the wedding and so we finished the leftovers for lunch! You don’t have to worry much about the taste, setup, design, or quality when you buy one of her cakes! Love, Love, Love the work and effort that go into making this day special for my daughter! Highly recommended!
I cannot sing Laura enough praises, she was professional all the time, the cake was exactly was I asked for, she created beautiful orange orchids for my cake that she had not done before and they looked awesome! She was probably the easiest of all my vendors to work with and she was affordable as well. I 100% recommend her to anyone!
Laura was the only element of the wedding I didn't have to worry about. In our initial meeting, she welcomed us into her home, provided samples of the cake with milk, drew out ideas on paper AND created a model of what we were going for right in front of us. This ended up being the most beautiful wedding cake I've ever seen AND the most moist and delicious cake I've ever tasted. Laura personally delivered the cake and set it up the day of. I, the bride, took a peek into our space while everything was getting set up. Laura came over, calm as a cucumber, gave me a hug, congratulated me and went back to work. This cake had to be moved during our reception twice and Laura assured us, this wouldn't be an issue. It wasn't! I trust her immensely and am so thankful we found her.
Laura did a great job with our wedding cake. She did Lace fondant and it was beautiful!
I met Laura at a vendor show & was impressed by her talent & work. She makes flowers out of sugar that are edible & look real. She made us a 4 tier cake with orchids. It was the star of the show. Her cake was moist & tasted great. Laura is awesome & if you want a unique cake that also taste great I highly recommend her!
Laura makes the best cakes of anyone I know. She is truly a sugar artist and what she creates is absolutely gorgeous. My mom is using the flowers from my cake, which were created by Laura, as part of her Christmas decorations this year. I am so happy to see them being used, because they are stunning.
After sampling Laura's cake at a local bridal store, I called her and set up an appointment. She has a certified kitchen in her home and her home is very clean. I was a bit nervous about going to her home, but she is extremely proffessional in the way that she does business. She had made more samples for my mom and I to taste, and even a sample for me to put in tupperware and fly home to my fiance. The samples were delicious!
You may pay a little bit more for Laura's cakes, but they are 100% worth it. She makes her cakes the Thursday before your wedding and then decorates. Most other places, will freeze your cake for a month or two before ever decorating it. Laura's cakes are moist and delicious for days after your wedding. I can't wait to eat my anniversary cake! Also, the hall which I had my wedding, Pennas, insist that you serve her cake instead of having it out at a dessert bar. They insist because her cakes are so good. They say you can usually smell her cakes when she is dropping them off.
As soon as I decided to allow Laura to make my wedding cake, it was the one thing I was always certain would be great, My design turned out perfect, my guests loved their cake, and I was so happy on my wedding day!! Thanks again Laura!!!
We got so many complements on our cake! It was yummy and stunning.
Laura is FABULOUS. Our cake was not only beautiful, it tasted great, and was not as expensive as a lot of other places. Plus she is just a really nice person!! I HIGHLY recommend her.
amazing design creative easy to work with affordable
