Kelly O'Brien of Glass Slipper Gourmet was a joy to work with for our wedding. Very down-to-earth with a quiet confidence to deliver amazing results, she really wowed us with the f...
lavor samples at our cake tasting and was very receptive to our inspirations and vision of our beautiful three tiered cake. I wholeheartedly recommend the Honey Bee Mine and Mexican Hot Chocolate flavors. She offers cake stands to borrow should you not have your own. Her cake decoration skills are immaculate! We provided our live flowers on the day and she cut and arranged them in and around the cake beautifully, even going so far as to help decorate some of the more bare flower pots on the table as well. Everything was perfect, thank you so much Kelly!
We worked with Kelly at Glass Slipper Gourmet for our wedding cake and desserts. At our tasting and design appointment she walked us through the entire process and her wide range o...
f cake flavors had something for everyone, sweet, floral and/or rich. Her signature flavor “Honey Bee Mine” was so well balanced and original, our guests could not stop raving about it!
Kelly helped us come up with a unique design based off of a couple of pictures that complemented our overall event, and also made a sheet cake to supplement as well as a mini dessert bar with brownies, rice crispies and cupcakes for 80 people, and delivered them to our venue.
For your wedding cake needs, look no further than Glass Slipper Gourmet. It was amazing to work with Kelly from the initial options & variety, to the tasting, to everything on the ...
day itself. Our wedding cake turned out PERFECTLY. My only regret was that I didn't order another cake to enjoy more after the day. The flavors are out of this world and presentation was top class.
I am so happy that we found Kelly and she was able to make our wedding cake! I could not be more impressed! Not only did the cake taste amazing but it was beautiful. It exceeded al...
l expectations! Kelly also made a dessert bar for us which was also amazing! Our guest were raving about the dessert bar and cake!
We're beyond happy we chose Glass Slipper to cater our September wedding in Berkeley. Kelly worked with us to create a very personalized cake taste and design that was tailored to ...
us, and she was super helpful coordinating everything from the design, to the taste, to the return of the items she loaned us (which we accidentally stole – she was incredibly understanding).
Many of our attendees were blown away by the design, which was non-traditionally beautiful (we had a mountainous landscape with a starry night). Additionally, the cake flavors we had, honey lavender and almond vanilla, were tasty and highly distinct. Highly recommend!
The cake we got for our wedding was spectacular, both visually and in terms of its deliciousness! We opted for a more modern style, marbled color on fondant, and the result was stu...
nning, a great centerpiece for our wedding. In addition, both the cappuccino and blueberry cake flavors were phenomenal. The blueberry in particular was not just good but very interesting, truly unique and unlike anything we’d had before.
In terms of planning and preparation, Kelly was extremely professional. We had a pleasant experience tasting a variety of flavors, and she took plenty of time to work with us about our ideas for a wedding cake and come up with something we’d really like! She was also so helpful guiding us in the planning process, as we hadn’t gone to look at linens/colors yet, right away Kelly sprang into action, gave us a recommended vendor for rentals, called them up to see what availability they had and explained the process/order of planning to us. It was extremely helpful and definitely above and beyond!
Due to an emergency closure of our initial venue we had to make some minor schedule changes relatively late in the planning process, and Kelly took this in stride and took care of everything for us.
Big thumbs up for Glass Slipper Gourmet, they nailed it!
We loved working with Kelly/Glass Slipper Gourmet for our wedding in April 2023 and would highly recommend her to others.
To start, we had a fun and informative tasting session, d...
uring which my husband and I were able to sample 10 (!) different flavors. Kelly diligently kept track of our preferences, helping us narrow the options and ultimately pick our favorite ("Pucker Up"). She also showed us styrofoam rounds of different cake sizes to bring the proposed dimensions to life and allow us to visualize our future cake. We appreciated her suggestions for ways to stay within our budget, including supplementing our main cake with sheet cakes behind the scenes.
After such a great experience early in the process, we weren't surprised that Kelly very much delivered on the day-of. She coordinated independently with our wedding planner, arrived on time, and beautifully applied the flowers provided by our florist. The cake was as delicious as when we sampled it many months prior, and we received a handful of compliments from our guests. We're gradually enjoying the extra pieces in our freezer, though Kelly has a special deal where you can purchase a small cake on your one year anniversary (below her usual minimum purchase/size requirements).
We would 100% work with Kelly again and are so grateful to have had her as our baker for our special day!
Kelly was welcoming, accommodating and very professional throughout our cake tasting, helping us to make our flavor and design decisions much easier. She gave thoughtful recommenda...
tions and answered all of our questions, which helped narrow down the field of options in a timely manner.
Once our wedding day arrived, tasting the cake vindicated our choices. Our thanks to Glass Slipper Gourmet for being a part of our special day. We highly recommend this vendor and the Honey Bee Mine flavor cake.
Our wedding cake turned out beautiful and tasted DELICIOUS! Great people to work with too!
After our May 2020 wedding was postponed, we agreed with our vendors to follow up the following year about our new date of October 16th, 2021. Unfortunately, our only vendor that f...
ell through was our baker, who retired. We had our hearts set on the flavors we had initially chosen and the person who took her business over was unable to accommodate our dream cupcake and cutting cake menu. Although we were worried about finding a new vendor, it ended up being a silver lining, as we found Kelly with Glass Slipper Gourmet and were thrilled with her work! She was quick to respond, professional, completely accommodating of our hopes for our flavors, and when we met for our tasting we realized how lucky we were to work with her! We went in with our original menu set in our minds, but upon tasting her signature flavor (Honey Bee Mine) we were completely blown away and knew we had to add it to our cupcake menu immediately! Our guests raved about the cupcake flavors and the presentation (including our cake topper featuring the bride, groom, and our feline companion) and our cutting cake were just beautiful. We are looking forward to having our frozen leftover cake on our 1-year anniversary!
Kelly at Glass Slipper Gourmet was absolutely fantastic! She helped guide us through the process of identifying what cake size would be best for our guest count, offered other idea...
s in terms of wedding dessert options, and did a FANTASTIC job creating the cake. The best part? Other than the cake itself. THE TASTE! We had the Valencia (Devil's Food cake with Grand Marnier liquor layered with chocolate custard and sweet orange marmalade fillings). The sweet orange marmalade was far tamer than I expected it to be and was such a compliment to the other flavors. From start to finish our experience with Kelly and Glass Slipper Gourmet was perfect. Highly Recommend!
Kelly was an absolute pleasure to work with from the first email to my wedding day. Not only are her cupcakes and cake absolutely delicious but the work and craftsmanship that goes...
into them is also absolutely beautiful. My husband and I wanted very intricate details and designs on both our cake and cupcakes and she delivered them both absolutely perfectly.
I went in for a cake tasting with Kelly and brought along my cousin and best friend. I was interested in a cake that did not only look good but also taste good. The reason I brough...
t two people with me is because I don't or should I say didn't eat cake. I was staring at the samples they were trying and I advised Kelly that I am not a cake eater. Believe me when i tell you that i tried a little peace of the lemon and was in heaven. I can't wait for our wedding. I got red velvet and lemon and the red velvet was even perfect. Kelly is very professional and knowledgeable about her craft. I would give her 10 stars if I could. Keep up the great work Kelly.
Making the choice to have Kelly make and design our wedding cake(s) was easy. After seeing how many outstanding reviews she has received over the years made me feel comfortable an...
d confident in choosing glass slipper gourmet, which is a huge deal when you are planning a wedding because it feels like you are constantly worrying and making decisions you aren’t too sure about. When we first met with Kelly for our tasting we were very impressed with how easy it was. She walked us through everything without overwhelming us. She got to know us as a couple and helped steer us in the right direction. We had her make our main wedding cake (3 tiers) and two small cakes to showcase our parents wedding cake toppers. Her flavors are all to die for. We chose 2 flavors; her famous “honeybee mine” which not only tastes fantastic but visually it was a total show stopper & our second flavor was a chocolate stout which is a new flavor she has recently added making all chocolate lovers fall to their knees.....YUM!!! Kelly was very professional and easy to work with. I never had to worry. She was on top of everything from double checking on venue details to letting me know exact arrival time to reminding me to reach out to florist about leaving flowers for her to place on the cake. I cannot say enough great things. There are always a few things that don’t go exactly right on your wedding day and I am happy to say that my cakes were not one of them ....everything was PERFECT!!! Thank you Kelly!!!
Kelly did a great job with our wedding cupcakes - she understood our vision and they ended up beautifully. She has so many flavors to choose from, all delicious! Her prices are als...
o very reasonable - I'd definitely recommend!
I was referred to Kelly by a friend who has used Kelly for her wedding (she said their frozen top tasted exactly the same a year later as it had the day of!) and then for many othe...
r cake-worthy events in life (aren't those all of them, though???). We had a few back-and-forth emails before my guy and I made a trip to the Bay Area (we planned our wedding from out of state), but then suddenly I didn't hear from her again for a possible tasting (my emails were bouncing back to me). I was pretty bummed, but moved on with my life. When I got back, she sent me an email - my email ended up in her spam! She felt bad that we hadn't met up for the tasting, and since we weren't planning on going back to the Bay Area before the wedding, Kelly did something amazing: she arranged to overnight us samples of cakes in a cooled box for us to taste. WHAT!!?!? It was amazingly generous of her to do so, and we did select the Snickerdoodle cake flavor for our wedding cake.
I was hesitant to spend so much money on a cake to feed our guests plus have a layer to take home to freeze for our anniversary, so I ended up supplementing our "show off" cake with some sheet cakes from elsewhere for cost reasons. I also had Kelly add a "faux" layer to the cake to make it look like there was enough there for everyone and no one seemed to notice at all! The cake was beautiful AND delicious and I can't wait to eat it all again!
We hired Kelly for our wedding desert table 2 weeks ago. The cake was amazing, as well as the cupcakes, cookies, lemon bars and fruit tarts!
There was a lot of variety, different ...
flavors like Lavender and blueberry which was a huge hit!
I had a very specific look and feel for the desert table that Kelly helped execute perfectly. She is great about helping you come up with the right sort of menu for your event while keeping in mind the season, occasion and budget.
I would highly highly highly recommend her services.
Kelly is absolutely AMAZING! We had three different flavors/cakes - each one was so great! My guests loved each cake - most of them tried each flavor because each one was so delici...
ous! The style/design of each cake was perfect, and the taste matched the look! I would definitely recommend Glass Slipper Gourmet!
We used Glass Slipper Gourmet for our daughter's wedding on 9/27/14. The cake turned out spectacular and the flavors (we had 3) received nothing but compliments.
The theme was ...
elegant vintage and Kelly's creation was perfect for it. One person actually asked me where our cake was because she thought this was a museum piece (venue was filled with antiques).
Kelly was also used for the bridal shower, which was vintage tea party theme. The cupcakes were equally as perfect and each were beautifully decorated and again very flavorful.
The intricacy of detail was amazing and both the cupcake and wedding cake were a work of art.
I will definitely use Kelly again for any special events.
Our cake was WOW! It was like a work of art. Kelly was really creative and attentive to the look we desired. Our wedding was going to be in a wine cave and we wanted a cake that ha...
d sugar-coated champagne grape accents. Unfortunately we were getting married when they were not yet in season but Kelly managed to find artificial ones online for us and coat those. I'm telling you - you could NOT tell that they were not real. And the cake was gorgeous (and surely very tasty!). So many of our guests snapped photos of the cake because it was so pretty. And Kelly was always prompt about emailing back, which I greatly appreciated. Could not have been happier. THANK YOU KELLY!
She did a great job with the cake and cupcakes! Everyone thought the cake was the best and they wanted more. We highly recommend the flavor Honey Bee Mine. I highly recommend it fo...

cake! The favors were delicious and I love that the layers are thin so nothing is over powering, but just right! My cake was BEAUTIFUL and tasted amazing. I honestly could not have asked for a more perfect cake and I highly recommend Kelly and Glass Slipper Gourmet for all cake related needs!
Kelly is the best, hands down! My cake was beautiful, it tasted amazing, the price was reasonable and she made the cake tasting so much fun. At one point during the wedding I was...
actually worried we wouldn't have any cake to take home since peopel were getting seconds.
I loved working with Kelly! She's amazing. She came to my house to do the cake tasting which was so easy and she spent an extensive amount of time with my husband and me in order...
to make sure we got exactly what we wanted. She was easy to contact with questions during the whole process. On the day of, she set up the cakes (wedding and groom's cake) and they looked perfect! I could not have asked for anything better. However, what put it over the top was the taste of both cakes. They were delicious and we got so many compliments on the look and taste from guests. I would order another cake from her just for a party because she does such a fabulous job!!!
Glass Slipper Gourmet did our engagement party cake, wedding cake and grooms cake. They were all amazing. First, Glass Slipper Gourmet was able to meet with us on short notice an...
d work around our schedule. It was amazing to find a bakery that was able to give us the time and attention, rather than booking us in a tight window weeks away. The cakes were amazing. We had the rum cake for our wedding cake and mexican hot chocolate for the grooms cake. The cakes were perfect. They also looked amazing and completely matched our theme. We were extremely happy.
I was so amazed with Kelly and her work. She came to our house to go over what we were looking for in a cake and brought tons of samples. I am not a fan of cakes and was a little...
worried if I would like them. I LOVED her cakes. It was hard to narrow it down because we loved so many of them. When it came time for our wedding day we saw our cake and we were just blown away. It was stunning! I would recommend any future bride in the area to use her and try her cakes. I will definitely be ordering more cakes from her in the future for other occasions. Thank you again :)
Exceptional service, taste and execution!
My husband and I chose to add Kelly to our wedding day team after having a private cake tasting in our home. With her culinary backgro...
und she combines flavors that are far more exciting than the standard wedding cake. She has an exceptional knack for listening and interpreting the wishes of her clients and, in the end, the cake she made for us was better than I could have even imagined--and it tasted just as it did the day of our tasting!
There are a handful of cake bakers in the East Bay and Kelly's superb customer service and culinary talent stand apart. If you are looking for an exceptional experience and delicious wedding cake--have a tasting with Kelly! You'll see what I mean after the very first bite.
I was recomended Glass Slipper by my wedding Venue and they were amazing. She came to our home for the tasting and her prices were very affordable for the quality of cake. She took...
my every idea and made it a reality, not only was the outside amazing the cake was so moist and delicious! Everyone had great things to say about the amazing cake!
