Gwen's Cake Decorating & Etc.

edding cake. And when we tried the cake, OMG. All of our guests agree, this is the best cake they've ever had. So moist, and light and fluffy with the perfect sweetness. I highly recommend Gwen's Cakes!

ry all three! We also ordered a sheet cake to have as extra throughout the evening as a snack for our guests which worked perfectly. Gwen was also willing to work with our Florist to add fresh flower decoration to the cake on the day of at the reception space.

much cake because we planned for 100 but only 70 came for the reception due to COVID, there was NO leftover cake to be seen. Everyone went back for more. We had 3 different flavors (chocolate with bailey's creme, white cake with lemon and apple spice cake with caramel) and every single one delivered. She is an honest human who does not believe in price gouging due to it being for a wedding, yet you still get a great product. 10/10 would recommend again.

cake to the venue herself. The decorations were beautiful. I highly recommend hiring Gwen for any event that you need a cake!

ful on our wedding day. We enjoyed working with Gwen and the cake was pretty and delicious!

bout them! Overall Gwen provided an excellent service and at a great price.

le spice cake with French apple filling. Each was outstanding, and I wish I had the opportunity to have more of the cake that day! The design of the cake was also stunning and exactly what we wanted. I highly recommend her.

ke our day perfect!

think she could be a little more personable through email and in person. The cake was gorgeous and delicious, and the cupcakes were huge. There are a ton of flavor and filling options. I would recommend Gwen.

nd about 15 dozen of her other mini desserts and they were all AMAZING! Everything was so good by the time I made it to the dessert table (later in the evening) everything was almost gone and we had ordered way more than we needed but the guests loved it. We had a backyard wedding and her staff really stepped up and made the dessert table look wonderful. We had them add fresh flowers to the cake and it turned out beautiful. I will definitely use Gwen again for the next family gathering I have.

on the day of. She gave us all that we wanted and more for a very reasonable price, would highly recommend!

ors! She really worked with our vision she was well within our budget. I would recommend her for all your cake needs.

I was surprised at how big they were! The only down fall was that we had a lot left over. Regardless, I highly recommend Gwen's Cake Decorating for any event you are hosting.

es were delicious. We received many compliments on the arrangement and selection of tasty treats. Everything was delivered on time and exactly as promised. Gwen helped to make the day special and worry-free.

on our special day! The cookie cakes we ordered in addition were an absolute hit as well. We definitely recommend Gwen!

r. And we are super pleased to report that the cakes we got at our wedding were just as good as the ones we taste-tested! Our guests were extremely complimentary, with one even going back to try every flavor we had (even the gluten-free cake). And Gwen was a pleasure to work with, from the initial design consultation to laying out the delivery timeline. She even placed our home-made sailboat centerpiece perfectly. We couldn’t be more happy.

her email us the same question months later. This proved to be a problem when she did not give us the correct cake filling at our wedding, even though we went over the flavors with her multiple times.

with chocolate cream for the smallest. Yummy.

t!

mmend Gwen's Cake Decorating!

. We showed her a few pictures and ideas and she pulled it together flawlessly. Her prices are competitive, service was timely and I would highly recommend her to any bride who asked!

te multiple flavors (after we weren't sold on the plain vanilla and chocolate) and really liked the almond as well as the amaretto flavor. The frosting was excellent and very light. Best price in the Ann Arbor area we found too. Would definitely recommend her!

to cut on our wedding day and he continues to talk about it. Thank you Gwen!

ere at my wedding. Thanks Gwen!

beautiful and tasted great! She charged a reasonable amount for setup, and was easy to communicate with throughout the process. She had a lot of flexibility in how to do cakes, flavors, fillings, sizes, etc... and we loved that she offered many other dessert choices, pastries, cakes, cookies, pies etc... I did dock one star because we had ordered one of the small specialty cakes to be made "naked" but it showed up to the venue as frosted... by no means was it a major issue, it looked beautiful and everyone loved it, but it wasn't quite what I had asked for. We loved our wedding dessert spread, and enjoyed our leftovers for weeks to come! We didn't bother keeping our top layer because Gwen offers a free anniversary cake - which we can't wait to order! No need to eat year-old stale cake. I would absolutely recommend Gwen!

k we had 20 cupcakes left over, which my family quickly gobbled up the next day. I've gotten so many compliments about how good the cupcakes were. The frosting is very light, almost whipped and isn't greasy or heavy feeling. The staff arrived on time and set up the cupcake stand very beautifully. The cake and cupcakes were decorated exactly as I asked. You should definitely check out the website and contact Gwen for your next event, you won't regret it

She delivered our cake the day of the wedding & placed our flowers on it & it looked beautiful! My brother has a gluten allergy and so she also made 6 gluten free cupcakes as well for the guests with a gluten intolerance. She did a great job & I would recommend!

stands right on time! Meet with Gwen and after you try her cakes you'll choose her!

wanted going into it. The cake tasting we had sealed the deal, we knew we wanted to use her for our wedding once we sampled a couple bites. Her prices were competitive and she works in a professional manner. She coordinated drop off times with our florist since there were fresh flowers on our cake, and she was on time for delivery. We would definitely recommend her to others.

as a hectic day, but from what I heard from my guests they were delicious! The Confetti cake with Strawberry Creme filling was a crowd favorite and I especially loved the White Almond with Fresh Strawberries and Bavarian Creme cake. The cakes turned out exactly as I had imagined and described to Gwen, she added flowers on top from our florist and they were beautiful! I would definitely recommend Gwen's to anyone looking for wedding cakes or any other event for that matter.

.

hocolate with raspberry filling white with lemon creme filling. The buttercream frosting on the top was impeccable, but more than anything everyone said how great the cake itself was. She also included such a beautiful cake stand and made the cake look perfect. We couldn't have been happier!

reme filling, carrot cake, red velvet, and chocolate cakes. It was great to have so many options available! Also, we sent her some pictures of designs that we liked, and the cake that she made for our wedding was absolutely perfect, and exactly what we were imagining! She was so kind, easy to work with, and overall it was a very enjoyable experience. Highly recommended!!!

t cakes, and all of them were fantastic. This may have been the only vendor that we had 100% ease of service with and 100% satisfaction in the quality and outcome of services as well. I would highly recommend Gwen's Cake Decorating & Etc. to anyone and everyone in the market for cakes for any event.

e finished it a few days after the wedding :)

g on how unique and beautiful it was, and of course so tasty! I would definitely recommend her!

erent flavor with different filling! It was so cool that she could do that, and the Bailey's filling really tasted just like Bailey's- no idea how she pulled that off! Gwen delivered our cake to our venue right on time and made everything worry free. We will absolutely go back to her for cakes or cupcakes for events in the future. She even loaned us a beautiful victorian style cake stand for the wedding as well. We returned it to her a week after the wedding. The cake was moist and delicious and everyone complimented the different flavors. I had some left over that I gave to my mom to bring to work with her and I guess she never brought it into work, her and my dad ate it all cause they thought it was so good- too good to share apparently! Her prices are very reasonable as well.

lem was no one knew which flavor was which so we had many people trying several to find the salted caramel! It could have been that the were marked and the caterers just didn't let us know.

hard for her to match it perfectly. I think her value and effort is outstanding however she is not able to make the colors match your swatches EXACTLY which for some people could ruin your wedding. Her cake & cupcakes were delicious and she created a really nice display that I absolutely adored, she really captured what we were looking for. Like I said my only complaint or word of caution would be if you are very specific on the color you are looking for it might not be a possibility here.

for your consultation. Gwen was wonderfully open to any of your ideas but also is able to make her own expert suggestions. We ordered 2 sheet cakes and 1 small tier and got many compliments on all 3 of the flavors we chose. We did order significantly too much cake, but I'd prefer that over the alternative. We would definitely recommend Gwen without hesitation!!

t. Gwen's tastings included multiple samples and she worked so well to fit our tastes.

kes looked exactly the same. Some had bows, some had pearls, some just frosting. It was everything I told her I wanted. The staff at my venue kept saying that it was the prettiest display they had seen there. Oh and the cake was delicious. So really, it was a win/win.

and really understood our vision for our cake. She was also incredibly reasonable- we had so much cake, and it was beautiful! She was so professional and wonderful to work with. Our only regret is that we were WAY to busy to eat any cake! SO bummed- the flavors she made for us sounded SO tasty- at least our guests got to enjoy it!

ideas of colors and patterns over the phone, and she took what we said and made a gorgeous cake! We would definitely recommend Gwen for any wedding or event.

e top layer the next day at brunch and it was still fabulous. It will be nice to have a fresh cake for our 1 year anniversary as well. Overall it was a great experience working with Gwen.

nicest thing! I didn't have to eat a 1 year old frozen cake, I got a delicious fresh cake, and so yummy!

fair, especially for how much you get. We were quite disappointed with the decoration of our cake though. When we had our second meeting with her, we brought pictures and described in detail how we wanted it to be decorated. It was just a very simple monogram with round pearl border around it and really nothing else. When we saw the cake on our wedding day, the monogram was awkward-looking, messy, and almost juvenile, and the border didn't consist of the pearls we gave her pictures of - they were more elongated mounds than small, round pearls. The cupcake decorations were fine, but it was sad that our top tier of cake was sub-par. Our photographer didn't even take a picture of it from the front and we were surprisingly grateful for that :/ I realize that the decorations may have been a miscommunication between us and Gwen, but we tried to be very clear and make sure she understood what we wanted. I wish that if she were unclear or confused, that she would have reached out to double check.

at Gwen was a little hard to get in touch with. Maybe this was due to the busy-ness of wedding season and our wedding falling soon after a holiday weekend. It definitely required some phone & email tag. However the end result was lovely and delicious. I also loved the fact that the pricing was very fair. I don't remember the final cost but the pricing was ~$3/slice + any set-up/travel fees. You do not need to pay $6-8/slice for wedding cake in order to get great tasting cake. Seriously contemplating ordering some normal cakes, maybe I can come up with a birthday/other occasion to celebrate =)

no one to deliver the stand to the reception hall on the day of the wedding. Most importantly, the quality of her cake and frosting is excellent - not too sweet, light, and moist. When I asked for a second trial, she explained that she typically does not offer that but was willing to do another complimentary tasting for me to help choose the flavors. She also was willing to bring us a box to the wedding reception to take the leftover cake home. The final design of the cake looked great! Lastly, her prices are reasonable as compared to other vendors. I highly recommend her!

e she's great with floral frosting designs, but I do NOT recommend her for script / drawing. If you're looking for a to-die-for delicious cake without a lot of fussy decorating, Gwen is AWESOME and I'm sure her price is hard to beat. Give her a try!

tar quality. So many cake flavors and she was willing to work with me in all ways. The cake was beautiful and even better than I could've imagined. So happy!
