Martine at House of Clarendon crafted the most exquisite wedding cake we could have imagined. Not only was it beautiful, but it was also absolutely delicious. Martine was wonderful to work with—creative, responsive, and deeply committed to ensuring every detail was perfect. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how delicious the cake was. We have and will continue to go back to get his cupcakes as they are perfect. We cannot recommend Martine enough and will continue to go to him for all of our special occasion cakes in the future.
i cannot even begin to describe how incredible House of Clarendon and Martine are. from the initial consultation to the sampling, Martine was so easy to work with. He was honest, helpful, gave incredible advice and made me feel so comfortable. He listened to exactly what i wanted and the cake was easily the best wedding cake i’ve ever tasted. We haven’t even had our wedding yet, but i had to come on here and rave about them. you will not be disappointed!
Martine and his team did a wonderful job on our cake for our December wedding! The cake was not only beautiful but also delicious. Our guests raved about the cake. I truly could not have asked for a more beautiful cake and Martine was so fun and helpful along the way. Thank you so much!!
Martine was so nice person who has beautiful sense. When I show my wedding dress, he was instantly drawing the picture on the paper. He knows what people exactly looking for. He is so honest to explain which will be waste of money. I love his honesty. Usually wedding , every single demand will cost you money. We were also looking for not too sweet cake. The flavor was perfect for us too. Everything was perfect. I highly recommend it.
Martine was absolutely excellent and I would recommend House of Clarendon to anyone looking for cake/cupcakes. He brought our dream cake to life and was so easy-going and fun to work with. He was professional, friendly, knowledgeable and we honestly felt like he had our back. The cake was absolutely beautiful and exactly what we wanted. Not only that, but our guests raved about how good the cake and cupcakes were. Thank you so much Martine!!!
We loved our wedding cake! Martine was wonderful when we went in for our tasting and was very understanding when we had to postpone!
My family has worked with Martine for years for specialty cakes and having him make my wedding cake was a dream come true!! His cake was gorgeous and delicious. He went with our vision of classic with a small modern twist. Even a simple cake he made look stunning and the showpiece at our wedding. He was super easy to work with and always got right back to us. Cannot find a better wedding cake option in the area!!!
Martine's attention to detail and making everything perfect for your wedding day is unbelievable. Cake is delicious.
One of our favorite parts of our wedding was our delicious cake! After our cupcake tasting a couple of months in advance, we ordered a four tier cake decorated with blooms from our florist. Martine custom designed our cake after hearing our vision for the day. Order from House of Clarendon if you want a truly personalized experience and cake. I am excited to order our complimentary anniversary cake soon!
We are still receiving compliments on our wedding cupcakes weeks after our wedding!! They were amazing!! We ordered 4 different flavored cupcakes and a small wedding cake from Martine. He was so great to worked with and called often to check in with us leading up to the big day. I would eat those cupcakes every day if I could!!
Our guests raved about our cake from House of Clarendon! We selected vanilla cake with vanilla mousse and a spice cake with honey bourbon mousse. Both were absolutely delicious and we were very happy with the design process.
The most delicious cake! Our guests are still talking about it a year later. The staff was able to help us create a cake that was a focus point during our reception.
Martine makes the best cakes in the world! He had a vision and created a stunning and delicious treat for us. Every single guest said it was the best wedding cake they had ever had. Moist, rich and flavorful. It just melted in your mouth! He took all of our requests and made them even better. You will not be disappointed!!
The wedding cakes were delicious for our reception, and Martine did a great job creating the two different flavors we requested! We were disappointed when the cake was dropped off that it was not set up correctly. When we had spoke previously with Martine he asked us to leave the flowers and “love" wedding cake topper on the cake table for him to assemble. We left the things on the table but the cake was just dropped off in the kitchen and never assembled. Thankfully our day of coordinator was able to assemble the cake for us, but we were definitely disappointed in this type of costumer service on a day when you already have so many tasks to take care of; it would've been nice to not have to worry about the cake.
Martine and his team are phenomenal! They were extremely flexible with changes that we had to make due to COVID. The cake turned out beautiful and everyone raved about the flavor. I wanted seconds but our guests ate ALL the cake! It was THAT good! We didn't have to worry about saving the top of the cake because they bake another cake for your one-year anniversary!
If you're searching for someone to make a beautiful cake that tastes phenomenal book with House of Clarendon!
Martine at House of Clarendon made my husband and I the most beautiful cake for our November 2020 wedding! At our initial tasting with Martine, we knew we were in good hands. The flavors he had us sample were amazing and he spent time with us talking about the design of our cake. The final product was even more incredible than we thought! Our cake not only looked beautiful, but was so delicious. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a cake. Thanks to Martine and the House of Clarendon staff!
Definitely DO NOT recommend to anyone! Thieves work here! The cake is over priced! It do NOT taste as great as they seem! They will lie just to charge you anything they would like. THE MAN IS A TOTAL LIAR AND COMPLETE THIEF. I wouldn’t feed my dog a single slice.
Martine is an absolute treasure and will help you create the wedding cake of your DREAMS! It is no surprise he is at the top of of every venue's preferred cake vendor list! Not only are his cakes DELICIOUS and beautiful works of art, Martine gives the best wedding advice and tips...which makes sense since he is also a Wedding Planner and owns Dream Weddings magazine!)!
I have never liked cake since I was little and will never eat it no matter where I am at (birthday party, wedding, etc.), so our cake was more for my husband. At our cake tasting I cleaned my plate of every piece of cake because it was that good!
One of my biggest and oldest wedding dreams - for the last decade or so - was to have my wedding cake made by the House of Clarendon. My husband and I absolutely LOVE cake. It is my favorite dessert! It was our big splurge purchase for the day, and Martine was willing to work with us to develop a beautiful cake that didn't COMPLETELY destroy our budget. We booked the cake even before I ordered my dress! Don't get me wrong - this is a boutique cakery, and the prices are very high - but there is a good reason for it, and I can promise that it is worth it! The House of Clarendon honestly has some of the best cake I've ever eaten, and we do not regret the splurge one bit. The cake was gorgeous to look at, moist, and flavorful on the day of the wedding. Many of our guests said that it was one of their favorite wedding cakes they had ever eaten. Thank you, Martine, and the House of Clarendon team, for fulfilling one of my biggest wedding dreams! We are so glad to have been able to make it work for our big day.
Martine is a magician. You go to your consultation with ideas and he just feeds off of your feedback with ideas. I had no idea what I wanted in a cake, but came with pictures of cakes that I liked. He made our cake look like our wedding invitations but best of all, IT TASTED SO GOOD. We had leftover cake that we ate for a week afterwards that was so so so good. Above and beyond expectations.
Martine was a pleasure to work with. He is certainly in the right business. Each cake he creates and makes is a work of art. House Of Clarendon made our wedding cake a couple weeks ago. Let me tell you, we were so happy with the way it turned out. We wanted a specific color blue for our cake, to match our wedding theme colors, and the bakery had us mail in a color swatch so they could get as close to the color as possible. It was even better than we envisioned and the colors matched perfectly. If your looking for a bakery to handle your wedding cake, hire Martine! Martine is the real deal!
Beautiful Work! Thank you again House of Clarendon!
Designing our wedding cake was one part we were very excited for! Martine presented us with many options and helped us create a unique wedding cake that included everything we wanted. He is very professional, creative and knowledgeable about the wedding industry. We appreciated his advice along the way.
We received so many compliments on how delicious the cake was! Hands down, the best cake we have ever had at a wedding. We will definitely be using him again for any other cake/dessert needs!
From day one sitting down with Martine, he had us hooked. Our three tiered, barely naked wedding cake was absolute perfection. I have never gotten so many compliments for how moist and tasty the cake was. We had ABSOLUTELY NONE LEFT! That is a compliment in itself. Go no further than Martine + the House of Clarendon team. An absolute dream!
Martine is an artist! This man cares about every single cake that leaves his shop and takes it personally that it is a perfect addition to your event. Our cake was gorgeous, with layers of real flowers between the cake layers - which Martine even adjusted on-site with our florist's help to be sure it looked perfect. Our cake was stunning and delicious and we couldn't have asked for more. Best of all - on our first anniversary we can look forward to a fresh "cake topper" as a bonus for buying our cake from House of Clarendon. I already can't wait!
House of Clarendon created our beautiful 3-tier wedding cake with french vanilla, raspberry, and chocolate fillings for our reception at Stoltzfus Homestead and Gardens on 6/15/18. Martine Cajas is an incredible "cake artist". He is funny, professional, and a delight to work with. Our cake contained a vintage topper, flower adornments, and sparkly fondant. It was a masterpiece to behold and was remarkably delicious. Their prices are also extremely affordable and they work with many budgets. I was amazed. I rate them the highest and recommend to anyone.
Martine and his staff at House of Clarendon are wonderful! The cake was absolutely delicious not to mention BEAUTIFUL. Martine is so easy and fun to work with, and he is happy to work with you to get the cake of your dreams within your budget. House of Clarendon also did cookie favors for our guests and they also came out amazing. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Martine and House of Clarendon to any couple for their wedding!
Martine was super kind and funny from the start. He knew exactly what we wanted and we were all on the same page. Each flavor of cake we got was delicious and all of the guests LOVED it. The presentation was perfect and it truly was a beautiful cake. Can't wait to get our anniversary cake in a year!
Martine at House of Clarendon worked with us to ensure that our delicious cake was still within our budget. Each tier was a different flavor (for no extra cost) and all of our guests raved about how delicious the different flavors were! We'd highly recommend House of Clarendon for your wedding cake needs & we can't wait for our one year included "anniversary" cake! :)
Martine is ah-mazing! Everyone could not stop raving about how beautiful and delicious our wedding cake was! I would recommend House of Clarendon 1000x over!
Beautiful cake! Just as described! Would highly recommend!
Martine is amazing and clearly passionate about what he does! My guest were in love with the cake and working with this bakery was a dream come true!
Great vendor! Our cake turned out amazing. They were easy to work with, professional and very helpful! Thank you!
Martine and the rest of the staff at House of Clarendon were wonderful to work with in creating our perfect wedding cake. From our first consultation to our wedding day, they stayed in contact to make sure our cake was everything we wanted and more. If/when any problems arose, we were notified immediately to find a solution.
We chose House of Clarendon after see their store front and see their reviews on this site. I was concerned about the price compared to our budget but it went over very well. Martine is AMAZING!! Not only did he draw up a custom cake from our wedding inventation he also suggested ways we could make our wedding better and not just a cheesy afair. He made us feel comfortable and the cakes we try'd were amazing. We're getting married in July of 2017 and i can't wait to see our beautiful cake. On a side note because i know my fiancee will read this i call Martine on a seprate occasion and set up a surprise grooms cake for my fiancee. He's a hunter and i wanted something that would reflect that completely. Martine worked with me and we came up with a great idea that i know he's going to love and so will the other hunter's coming to our wedding!!
I first learned about the House of Clarendon at a bridal show. There were several different cake bakers at the show, and they were all giving out samples of their cakes. I found that most of the cakes were dry and bland. But, not the House of Clarendon's cake! House of Clarendon's cake was moist and delicious, not to mention gorgeous! I knew that I wanted them to bake my wedding cake. Luckily, they were still available for my wedding date. I scheduled a tasting, and worked with Martine to design my cake. Many of their cakes are quite elaborate in design, and I wanted something much more simple. Martine worked with me to design something that was simple in design, but still beautiful. The finished cake looked wonderful, and tasted just as delicious!
The House of Clarendon made the most beautiful and delicious cake for our wedding. The cake was moist and flavorful and we can't wait to get our free anniversary cake.
Beautiful and delicious!! We worked with Martine for our wedding cake and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect cake! Not only are the cakes delicious, but they are truly a work of art. Martine was so great with planning our cake. When what I had originally wanted as part of the design didn't come out the way we wanted, he had another idea that looked even better!! We also had a layer of fresh flowers to make the cake appear taller, which was a great idea of his. He also includes a top layer on your anniversary so that you get fresh cakes. I had such a great time planning with Martine and our cake was a beautiful centerpiece to our wedding. I would recommend to anyone!!!
Beautiful and delicious cake. A little more expensive than other, but we were satisfied. Our guests said it was delicious. Martine (owner) was helpful and very professional. He provides a free anniversary cake, so no need to freeze!
Martine is such an amazing charismatic man. He takes great pride in his designs and they are truly a work of art! Prices are a bit higher than most, but in this case, you surely get what you pay for! My Husband and I sat down with him and watched him design the wedding cake of my dreams on paper. I was thrilled to see how beautiful it was on my wedding day!
I used House of Clarendon for my wedding cake. I will say that they are quite expensive. Although they work with you to keep the cost down, this is probably not the best place to go if you are on a tight budget. That being said, the reason the prices are high is because each cake is a work of art. Martine is an artist and takes extreme pride in his work. The cakes are absolutely gorgeous. Martine is wonderful to work with. He is very charismatic and can offer incredible suggestions. He is knowledgeable and prompt at getting back to you. The cake was a hit at the wedding. Everyone commented on how beautiful it was and it tasted great too. It was not your average boring, dry wedding cake. We didn't have any left because so many people went back for seconds. I am glad I got my cake here and would recommend it to others.
We chose House of Clarendon after visiting their booth at the Lancaster Bridal show. Martine was so enthusiastic and creative, we knew we needed to work with him. After sampling his cake, it was a done deal! W worked together to create the designs for the bridal cake and the groom's cake. We were looking for as stunning cake and that is absolutely what Martine created. We used House of Clarendon for cupcakes for both of the bridal showers and were thrilled with the results. We found Martine to be professional, responsive and creative in the extreme. He was free with great advice every step along the way. I can recommend House of Clarendon enthusiastically!!
I was most excited for my cake. We ordered a four tier cake with each layer a different flavor. Martine was fun to work with and was most helpful in giving us ideas for our wedding. He created a beautiful cake that was scrumptious as well. We had guests that raved about the cake and tried each flavor. I can't wait for our anniversary cake that Martine provides just because he feels cakes are best when they're fresh. He has great work ethics and truly wants the best for his customers. It was a joy working with him.
The only mistake we made was going to see The House of Clarendon first, because we'd had the idea that we were going to try as many bakeries as humanly possible. We were wrong. We showed Martine everything we already had as part of our wedding and our cake ideas, and he came up with a gorgeous design. The samples for tasting were excellent, and you can even have each layer be a different flavor. Best of all, you get to take any leftover cake home with you. By the end of our meeting, we had signed on the dotted line. The cakes looked perfect and tasted great, and our guests loved that there were different flavors, since if they didn't like the flavor they were originally given, they could switch with someone at their table. A couple of my bridesmaids asked for some of our leftover cake to take home with them. The leftovers held up very well, too. We can't wait to get our anniversary cake from them. The cakes are a little expensive, but they are the perfect combination of looks and taste, so we did not regret it for one minute. Martine is also very helpful if you're not sure about other wedding vendors, since he runs Dream Weddings PA. One thing about this listing is that HoC did change locations, and I think even the contract has the old address, so if you book, when you go to send the final payment, double-check that you're mailing it to the correct place!
House of Clarendon did both our wedding cake and the grooms cake. Both turned out amazing and tasted delicious. We shopped around and not only was Martine & House of Clarendon the best, but they were not as expensive as what I was expecting. They were organized, willing to make changes I asked for, and very helpful in the planning process.
From the moment we walked into Martine's store, we knew we were in the right place. Martine is very talented, professional, and honest. 3 characteristics we loved having in a vender.
The cake was so unbelievably delicious, I don't think I can put it into words. But I will say this; there wasn't any left over from our wedding and my husband and I still talk about how wonderful it was.
The design of the cake was absolutely stunning. Martine had sent me a sketch, which I loved - but when I saw the cake at our wedding, I couldn't believe how wonderful it looked.
I would HIGHLY recommend using House of Clarendon for your wedding.
House of Clarendon,
Thank you so very much for creating such a beautiful and delicious cake for our wedding! You are true artists. We can't wait to have our personal cake on our one year anniversary. Thank you!
Lynn + Andrew
Where do I begin my review of The House of Clarendon? Working with Martine was something I will always hold close to my heart. Not only did he help me design my dream wedding cake, but was very helpful throughout the entire wedding planning process as well. His creative, artistic influence is apparent in his cake designs. His cakes aren't just cakes - they are works of art, almost too pretty to eat! Every single cake flavor and filling is absolutely delicious!! Martine is so much fun to work with and extremely professional. The sky is the limit with Martine - anything is possible! He is extremely talented, understanding, and is willing to work with you to make sure you get the cake of your dreams. He pays very close attention to every detail. I love that you get a fresh cake on your anniversary from the House of Clarendon, rather than having to eat one that's freezer burnt. I highly recommend the House of Clarendon to anyone needing a cake for any occasion. You will not be disappointed!!!
Very expensive but soooo worth it! The cake was absolutely beautiful and delicious!!!
We were very pleased with the wedding cake. Everyone enjoyed it very much.
Martine did a fantastic job creating my wedding cake and bringing to life my grooms cake (PSU football stadium). The cake was delicious! My only regret is that I didnt eat more of it!!
Awesome cake, as expected! We ordered cake that could feed probably double our total guests. The cake was soo good that we still regret we didn't order more!
We first met Martine during our cake tasting and fell in love with him. He was SO excited to talk to us about our wedding (he is a wedding coordinator too) and even ended up giving us some really great ideas for our wedding, such as having the guys where ties of the same color but varying patterns which we did and it turned out great. He also had a hand in our final choice of wedding colors. He didn't care for my initial choices and wasn't afraid to tell me...lol! We ended up going with his suggestions and are so glad we did. The wedding was amazing!
The cake was amazing too!! It was so gorgeous and it tasted incredible too. Lots of the guests complimented on how good it was. I like that we get a free cake baked for us on our 1st anniversary rather than freezing the top tier.
Martine was always very friendly on the occasions where I had to talk with him and he genuinely enjoys what he does.
We felt, however, that the cake was incredibly expensive (over $1200). The design was incredible, the visual appearance was incredible, the taste was incredible, and the service was incredible, but still it seemed to be an awful lot of money to spend on cake!!
But if you have it in your budget to spend that kind of money then you will be thrilled with Martine's work. The cake was definitely top notch and he was great to work with.
I believe that Martine and the House of Clarendon made the most beautiful cake in the entire world for my wedding. It was EVERYTHING I could have imagined. He listened to what I wanted, used the ideas and pictures I gave him, and we designed a cake together that was absolutely perfect. And not only was it beautiful, but it tasted AMAZING too! I loved working with Martine, he was so fun and great to work with, as he definitely listened to my requests and really understood what I was looking for. If you want a delicious and beautiful cake, go to the House of Clarendon!
I called to ask about prices of the cakes. The owner was rude on the phone. He asked when my wedding was and i said in August. He asked where the venue was and i told him where i thought i might being having it but wasnt completely sure yet. He LAUGHED at me and said "are you even engaged yet? You dont even have the venue or date set." I told him i was in fact engaged and the EXACT date was August 24th, 2013. I just wasnt sure about the venue yet but i was looking around for prices of cakes while i looked at venues. His cakes weren't too bad for pricing, but a little on the expensive side.. but they are beautiful!
Our venue included the cake in the package. My bridesmaids & I had to drive to Lancaster for a cake tasting.The staff was very friendly & we loved Martine, he designs amazing cakes. We all enjoyed the cakes especially the pink champagne. But I found out that my venue didn't cover the whole cost of the cake. By the time I left there I was paying a couple hundred dollars for the cake that included $75 for a piece of plastic to add a tier for flowers(also had to pay my florist for the flowers) & a delievery fee. We were upset about it, but I was still excited about the cake. They did call a few weeks before the wedding to make sure that they had a count for the guests. The cake was going to cover 75 & over 100 guests were coming, they had a "filler cake" for the rest. On the wedding day, it was concerning that an hour before the ceremony the cake wasn't there yet. But when it finally arrived it was beautiful but was very small & didn't help that they had it on a large table. Some guests actually thought it was a decoration & not our real wedding cake. My husband said it was so sweet that he almost got sick after we fed each other cake. I never got a chance to eat a piece of cake at the wedding, the venue sent home one slice of each of the four flavors of cake. I was excited to finally get to have a peice of pink champagne, when I took a bite it really wasn't worth the wait. I was upset that guests didn't say anything about the cake, later a few people said it was too sweet. Unfortunately the cake wasn't all that we expected especially for paying extra. Overall we were disappointed in the wedding cake. They do make you a fresh cake for your one year anniversary, we hope that cake will be better.
After meeting with Martine i knew he was the one to design my cake. When we met for our consultation i wasn't really sure what i had wanted. As we talked and I was telling him about my colors , dress & decor he was already drawing something up. It was beautiful and perfect! All the flavors we sampled where so amazingly good! He did a fantastic job and i would recommend him to anyone!
Our cake for the wedding was truly amazing! Martine and staff certainly know what they are doing! When we first met with Martine, we had no idea what we wanted and by the end of the appointment we were walking out with a drawing. The cake looked exactly like it! PLUS, our anniversary cake is freshly baked instead of freezer burnt!
House of Clarendon made both the cake for our wedding and the grooms cakes. Our wedding cake was absolutely stunning and everyone was in awe of how beautiful it was. It was modeled after my wedding dress and was gorgeous. It was also delicious!! We chose several different flavors and loved them all! Martine was a pleasure to work with and the cake was amazing.
The grooms cakes were designed by Tanya - 1 being modeled after Las Vegas/Gambling and 1 being modeled after the 4 Philly sports teams for my sports fanatic husband. They turned out awesome and everyone at rehearsal was extremely impressed by the designs as well as how good the cake was.
We were extremely happy with how all of the cakes turned out and cannot thank the House of Clarendon enough - everything was perfect!!
I was married on 5/19/2012 and had a cake from House of Clarendon at my reception. The quality was beyond expectations. These cakes are beautiful works of art and they taste wonderful. I've never had a cake look so beautiful and taste so good at the same time. The guests were full of complements on the cake (especially the champagne layer). There was none left at the end of the reception. It was worth every penny. Martine Cajas, the owner, did great business. He was extremely helpful through the whole process. I definitely recommend the House of Clarendon for any occasion where cake is needed.
Martine Cajas and the crew at House of Clarendon in Lancaster, PA, did an amazing job on our wedding cakes. We wanted to offer different and fun flavors for our guests, so their extensive list of mousse and cake flavors was perfect. We ended up choosing chocolate, pumpkin spice and carrot for cake flavors, and pairing those cakes with white chocolate, caramel, french vanilla and cream cheese mousses. Delicious!
Not only are the flavors and textures of these cakes to die for, the presentation and exterior of all of the cakes Martine and the House of Clarendon make are works of art. They will work with you to design any sort of icing and design on the cake, and can make towering or subtle cakes look amazing.
You will love the finished product of Martine's work, and you will love every step of the process of working with him and his staff - including the taste testing session! Enjoy!
I received so many compliments on our wedding cake. It was beautiful and tasted absolutely amazing! Martine and his team do a wonderful job with the cake, and with providing suggestions for the wedding!
The best thing about The House of Clarendon is the fact that they work with what you as the couple wants within your price range. Martine is great and very, very helpful and of course the cake tasted awesome!
Pure perfection!! Martine was really on top of things!! Our cake was beautiful!! My favorite flavors were either the mango with mango filling, or the lemon with blueberry filling. The red velvet was delicious too. The cake was very moist. Our cake served 98 guests.
My husband and I used House of Clarendon as they had a contract with our reception venue. However, they were one of our favorite parts of the day! Our cake consultant, Martin, was wonderful and turned our ideas into the perfect cake for our wedding. Not to mentionthat the cake was absolutely delicious....so good in fact that we're planning to bring some holiday desserts from HOC to all our family parties this year. Very highly recommended!
definitely pricey but the best tasting cake we tried...tastes like real food. it was absolutely wonderful!
House of Clarendon was a preffered vendor of our wedding venue. We went to visit them for a tasting and Martine was so helpful and fun to work with. Their cakes taste amazing and they have the most unique flavors for no additional cost. They also really work with you regarding your budget and how to make it fit yours. The wedding cake itself however did not come out as we expected. We had asked for elegant stripes to go down the cake and they ended up being large organic zebra stripes. We also had a monogram on our cake that was not how I pictured it. We did an initial sketch at our visit but maybe we should have had an additional visit closer to the wedding to go over those details. Overall the cake was delicious and it arrived on time so I would definately recommend this vendor, just be specific with what you want and make an additional visit or ask for an updated rendering.
It was the most delicious cake I have ever had! Guests were going back for seconds! The cake was moist and rich. The fondant was so thin and smooth it added to the frostings creaminess. My uncle hates frosting and he ate every last piece of cake on his plate and went back for more.
Martine helped us to design the perfect cake for our ceremony. He is a true cake artist and a joy to work with. We didn't have pictures of a cake we liked but instead brought design motifs, patterns, and color swatches and we worked together to design our cake. In no time Martine had drawn a sketch and it was wonderful! We had such a great time and complete trust in Martine's abilities. Then there was a multitude of flavors and fillings to choose from!
The handmade sugar flowers on the cake were stunning! People thought they were real. Absolutely gorgeous! They also made a great keepsake!
House of Clarendon may be a little expensive for some but it is worth every penny! It's been just over six months and guests still rave about the cake. A traditional cake was the best decision over cupcakes.
