We communicated mostly by email or text. I showed her a picture of what I wanted. I chose flavors without even tasting since I live out of state. She did a great job and the cake was very moist and delicious!

Gwen was so sweet and made sure to meet every need we had for our cake. We were looking for a pretty simple cake with great flavor, and we found the best option here! We were able ...
to get 5 flavors and fillings with a three-tier cake and a full sheet cake (enough to comfortably feed 200 people), so there was something for everyone!

We weren’t looking to splurge on the cake so we were looking for more budget-friendly options. Gwen fit our needs perfectly. When we visited for the first tasting, we fell in love ...
with the cake. She let us try a handful of cake and filling combinations and told us we didn’t need to decide on the spot. Soon after we booked her and told her we’d decide on the cake flavors later, which she was fine with. About a month before the wedding we reached out about tasting more flavors and she made a few more tasting cakes for us at no additional cost.
We went with a two-tiered cutting cake + a kitchen cake. she allowed us to mix and match flavors so we chose strawberry cake + Bavarian cream with fresh strawberries for one, and French vanilla cake with strawberry creme filling for the other. Both were DELICIOUS. Tyhe buttercream frosting was light and airy and not super heavy, which was something we were initially worried about. Day of, everything arrived without issue and the cake looked and tasted fabulous. We and our guests were very pleased.
Overall Gwen was really easy to work with, responded fast to our emails, and her cakes tasted amazing. We will be ordering more cakes from her for other occasions in the future!

We choose strawberry Bavarian cream and raspberry filling with white cake to be served on the big day and german chocolate for our top tier to be saved for our 1 year anniversary. Gwen also worked with us to design the decorations based on inspiration photos when we went for our consultation and tasting and created a beautiful wedding cake with blue ribbons and floral cascade which she applied herself on delivery to our venue. I would definitely recommend Gwen for your all your baking needs whether it be for a wedding or other occasion. Thank you, Gwen!

We got our wedding cake and cupcakes from Gwen.
The whole process was very easy, we made a appointment for a cake tasting and she had 4 different cakes to try.
We got to basically ...
get help with picking cupcake flavors and our design and how we want the setup to be. You can also rent stands which is nice, it's a good deal price wise. We are very happy with our cake for the big day!
Also the pricing for everything was very reasonable, she delivered it that day for us so we didn't have to worry, and in about a year she said if we get in touch we get a cute cake for our one year anniversary!
The photos I posted are my own cupcake stands- however Gwen is always ready with whatever you need!!!!

There were pros and cons in getting a cake for our wedding from Gwen. Starting with cons, she was not easy to communicate with, phone calls were pretty much the only way we could c...
ommunicate, which is difficult for someone who has a 9-5 job work schedule. She did not decorate the cake based on what we discussed, even after several back and forth when she agreed on specific details such as having a gradient of neutral colors, icing that rises slightly above the cake, gold leaves on the cake, she did none of that. It was literally just white icing on the cake. Luckily the rest of my wedding was a dream come true that the cake did not upset me. Now the pros, the cake did taste good, and she did not charge us for samples.

I planned our wedding virtually from Florida and wasn't able to do a tasting before picking the flavors but she let me try the cakes two days before the wedding when I got into town just so I could have that moment. The cake was delivered on time and she placed the topper and wood flowers, it looked beautiful!

te and couldn't wait for more. I was worried we would have too 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.
