Faba's Sweetshop uses the highest quality ingredients in each one of our beautifully designed cakes. We pride ourselves on using nothing but real ingredients like butter, sugar, and egg whites. Our cakes can be baked in an assortment of flavors, from confetti to espresso, and we're happy to accommodate a variety of dietary restrictions in order to create something everyone can enjoy.
We ice the majority of our cakes in buttercream instead of fondant, but we get them just as flat and smooth to have the same look without the extra sugary taste. Using a creative eye, we can design your cake to match just about any style or theme. We also offer a free anniversary cake on your one-year anniversary instead of saving the top tier of your cake! Allow us to create an elegant and delicious custom masterpiece for your big day!
Located in Tampa, FL, Faba's Sweetshop is a bakery that makes wedding cakes.
Your trust is our goal. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Monica was great to work with! The samples we tasted were all so good but we ended up going with a 3 teared cake of vanilla with raspberry filling, chocolate on chocolate, and red velvet with vanilla cream cheese filling. Unfortunately I barely got to eat any of it on the day of since I was so busy but I definitely recommend them for design, ease and taste!

My husband and I got married on March 17th and we ordered the lost perfect cake from Faba’s SWEETSHOP. The flavors were 100% on Point, as well as the most fluffiest delish buttercream. We had some many compliments on our cake and friends reaching out wondering who did our cake so they could also order. Not only was the cake fab, Monica is a gem as well to work with. She was prompt with responses and making sure that we got what we wanted for the best day ever.. if you are in the area and can have Faba’s part of your day, I would recommend not missing out.
Any questions?

We are amazed with the cake that Goldie’s Goodies provided for our wedding! We worked with the owner of the business, Sheree, and she was so professional, creative, detailed, and communicative throughout the entire process. I provided photos for what I wanted our cake to look like, and Sheree and her team replicated it perfectly. We decided on two flavors for our three-tier cake wedding cake (chocolate cake with a sea-salted caramel buttercream and vanilla cake with a chocolate American buttercream). I can easily tell you, this was the best cake we have ever had. All throughout the night we received compliments about the cake, and we eventually learned of how many people had gone back for seconds. We purposefully ordered a cake that was set to serve a larger number of guests than our final guest count so that we would have left-overs, but we learned at the end of the night that everyone had loved the cake so much that even the extra slices were gone! We had initially considered hiring a larger chain supermarket to do our wedding cake, and I am SO glad we didn’t. Goldie’s Goodies was the PERFECT bakery for our wedding day. Please support small businesses and hire Goldie’s Goodies. My husband and I promise you will not be disappointed! :)

OMG our wedding cake was PHENOMENAL. Sheree has mastered the art of cake that tastes as good as it looks!

Goldie’s Goodies is phenomenal to work with!! Let’s start with the taste of the cake. So many different choices on cake, filling and icing! We chose red velvet with cream cheese and banana with chocolate ganache and both did not disappoint! The look of our wedding cake was equally as amazing. Sheree made our woodland winter wonderland come to life with bark-like textures mixed with beautiful silver glitter. The customer service was next-level; they kept us in the loop throughout the process. Even more impressive, our wedding cake was transported from FL the whole way to PA. Absolutely could not recommend Goldie’s Goodies enough!!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Goldie's goodies! Starting with the cake tasting all the way through the wedding day. We felt no pressure, the cake was *amazing*, and everyone was very helpful. This was the first cake tasting we went to and there was no contest from any other bakery we visited.

Goldie's Goodies Bakery was recommended to us by our caterer (Catering By Robert - go check them out!) and we could not have a received a better recommendation! Planning our wedding from out of state created a challenge to find good vendors, but once we found Goldie's Goodies we knew we lucked out! We wanted to do a spread of mini, bite size desserts and Goldie's Goodies had a huge variety to choose from. All of our desserts were a hit! Our guests loved them so much we didn't have ANY leftovers! Everything was so fairly priced that we ended up having a little left over and we got a custom small wedding cake for just the bride and groom. We gave her an idea of what we wanted and it turned out more amazing then we could have imagined! The best part about working with Goldie's Goodies was the fact they worked around my Celiac Disease restrictions. It was so nice knowing once we found Goldie's, we didn't have to worry about desserts at all. Go with Goldie's for sure!!
Response from the Vendor on 10/26/2018
I’m so glad you were happy with all of the desserts! It was our absolute pleasure!

Sheree (the owner/baker) and her cakes are seriously amazing! She has the best customer service out of all of the wedding vendors I've booked or spoken with. After speaking with her and seeing her talent online we drove from Orlando to Tampa for a tasting and booked with her on the spot! The cakes were all so moist and the fillings made by scratch. Also super affordable and she went over all the details, suggesting little extras to make the cake look amazing at no extra cost, so we are very happy! We also get a free cake on our anniversary rather than freezing the top tier!

It was our absolute pleasure!

Sheree created an amazing cake for my bridal shower. I gave her an idea of what I had in mind and she exceeded my expectations by far! The flavor of each tier was something that couldn't be created by anyone else! She has such a great mind set and knows exactly how to bring an imagination into real life! You will "Knot" be disappointed if you choose her to bring your dream cake to life :)
