I Dream of Jeanne Cakes

here is fresh fruit puree in her frosting and her white cake is so light and moist. We were more then satisfied with our wedding cake and would highly recommend Jeanne and her staff.

25 th we met with the owner who penciled us in and told me I was way too early call two months ahead. So in June I called was told too busy to talk call before AUGUST 11 th. My party planner called on the 8th because the 11th was a Sunday the owner told her she was way TOO BUSY TO TALK call her after 6 pm on SUNDAY!! TOO BISY 3 times for a customer buying a 500 dollar cake? Wow must be that RICH!! DO NOT USE THIS WOMAN , SHE COULD CARE LESS !! Gave my business to a great place in NORTH ANDOVER owner and staff there top notch!!

event planner and have used her services a number of times. Both of my most recently married couples went with her and were all smiles on the day. Given her popularity, she's inundated with orders and you may have to keep on top of her, but it's well worth it!

y. She did not complete our order, nor decline us as a customer. We tried to book her 5 months in advance and the result was no cake or cupcakes (nor communication that our order wouldn't be filled). We tried calling, emailing, and texting her with no response once we had the initial tasting. We finally gave up a few weeks before our event. Jeanne was very disappointing and extremely disorganized. Save your money and go elsewhere.

ife and I were looking for a cupcake vendor, a friend of ours suggested I Dream of Jeanne Cakes as they had a good experience with her in the past. I checked the various review sites and saw she had almost 5 stars across the board. Perhaps I should have looked more closely almost every review given (at least on the knot) is from 2013 or earlier. When we first met with Jeanne, she seemed nice and sounded confident in her ability to provide great service. We tasted her cake samples and really enjoyed the flavors. Unfortunately, that's about where the positive experience ended for us when working with this vendor. During our first sit down with Jeanne, she mentioned we would have to put a $100 deposit down on the order to ensure the date could be reserved, we had no issues with that and were happy to do so. Jeanne said she would send us a contract over email to sign and return with a check. We waited, and waited, and continued to wait until finally after a few weeks, I decided to follow up with her. My first call went to voicemail so I left her an email for follow up. I tried again a week later and then once more a week after that. When I finally did manage to get Jeanne on the phone after four attempts over a matter of three weeks, she seemed too busy to speak with me and ask that we connect again later in the week. When I was ONCE AGAIN not able to get in touch with her I had to send her an email asking if we were on the same page regarding the order. That's when things got strange. She started talking about her computer at the bakery being broken for the past month and a half and her brother was supposedly in the process of buying her a new one but she was waiting on that before getting us the contract. Foolishly, I continued to trust that she was telling the truth and decided to give her another chance to get us the contract that SHE required us to sign in order for us to give her our business. When a week went by (and by now we were under 30 days from our wedding date) and I still had no contract from her, I requested the contract one final time via email. Once again, and for the final time, I got no response back. Even in the final days leading up to our wedding date, we heard nothing. Thankfully, we found a much more established and respected cake vendor who ended up being more affordable than her pricing anyway (Lyndell's Bakery in Somerville) and we ended up having a wonderful cake and cupcakes for our special day. Ultimately, I suspect she received another order for our wedding day and wanted to grab that business instead, probably because our order wasn't big enough or something. Otherwise, she is just so disorganized that she forgot to get back to someone who was LITERALLY asking to give her money.

in the strawberry buttercream are the perfect touch). We loved all the flavors we tried. The cake tasted exactly as good at the wedding as the trial! She was able to re-create the design we showed her and the cake looked so beautiful. Many people came up to us at the wedding to tell us how much they loved the cake. I would absolutely recommend Jeanne!

ents were made through our venue), we can certainly vouch for their products – they are first rate!

ot speak with the vendor as they go through their hall and they pass the info on however Jeanne was nice enough to speak with me over the phone and asked me to send her a photo of the cake that I would like on our wedding day. I sent her the picture and on our day that was EXACTLY what showed up. It was absolutely gorgeous, simple black and white 3 layer cake and each layer was a different flavor. My husband loves cake and it was really all for him and he was thrilled! We can't thank you enough I Dream of Jeanne Cakes for making the cake we both dreamed of. Thank you!

and had tons of wonderful ideas. Our cake was absolutely stunning and amazingly delicious. I wholeheartedly recommend her!

a beautiful cake!!

r my wedding! It was like nothing I had ever seen before. So I booked Jeanne and when I went for the tasting, we decided to do two different cakes because everything was SO good!!! Jeanne was very accommodating and very professional. I didn't worry once about the cake throughout my planning and wedding day the cake was stunning and certainly a head turner! I would highly recommend I Dream of Jeanne Cakes.

ready to try - different pieces of cake and generous scoops of buttercreams so we could mix and match to best decide. It was simply unbelievable. I also had a picture of the cake style we wanted, which she said would be no problem. We had a blast during our meeting with her and we knew we made a good decision. We went with a chocolate cake with heath bar crunch buttercream. When I arrived at the venue on our wedding day, I was delighted to see the cake, complete with flowers by the florist, ready to go. From what I tasted after we cut the cake, it was as I imagined it - superb! Everyone loved it and I was glad we were able to send leftovers home with our guests along with our favors.

orking with her again!

She's the only baker that actually asked us what flavors we're interested in. And not like vanilla or chocolate. We thought of things we liked like Heath bars, strawberry milkshakes, and butterscotch pie. While she never did butterscotch before, she was willing to experiment and create a butterscotch buttercream that was dead on! We actually chose to go with the butterscotch for some of our cake layers it was that good. In addition, we wanted a groom's cake that would be a University of Michigan football helmet. When we showed other vendors this idea, they wanted to do work arounds like make the helmet out of styrofoam and put it on top of a sheet cake. Jeanne was excited about the idea and definitely wanted the challenge. We sent her a couple pictures of the helmet and also the script we wanted on our wedding cake. After that, she handled everything with the vendor and delivered the cakes. When we arrived at the reception at saw the cakes, we were shocked at how great they looked, particularly the football helmet which she nailed. It was very detailed all the way to the clips holding the facemask on. And aside from looks, the cakes actually tasted great! Everyone loved the flavors, very rich and moist. The one piece of advice I'd give when working with Jeanne is that she tends to communicate much better via phone than email. Whenever I called, she always got right back to me within a couple hours if not sooner. I don't think her email works all the time, but if she gets the email, she'll certainly respond. So in all, we though she was great to work with and the cakes she creates are amazing!

!) and chocolate cake with heathbar filling. We received so many compliments on the cake. Jeanne was a bit hard to get in touch with before the wedding, but she delivered the cake without even waiting for her final check from us. I highly recommend!

alk of the wedding. We ordered diamonds on a ribbon spool and wrapped an entire tier. With a matching Diamond "P" monogram on the top. Stunning! It was Spice Flavor & delishious

made for us that were hands down the best I've ever had.

ghter cake. I managed to find everything I was looking for with Jeanne. She is such a nice woman. She made it clear to us that she is in the business to make people happy and not to reach into their pockets. We had a wedding with 160 guests and the price per slice was hovering around $4.50. Most vendors started at a much higher price point to even begin with. We had a different design and she was thrilled to work with us to achieve the vision we had. One particular vendor wanted to charge us $250 to make a cascading sugar flower design down the four tiers, with Jeanne, there was no additional charge! During our initial meeting, she kept throwing out ideas about how we could save money and still get exactly what we wanted. In my previous experience, other vendors never thought to suggest Styrofoam tiers in order to reduce the cost, among many other suggestions that she had. She truly cares about what she does and it shows! Her buttercream frosting wasn’t exactly what we wanted but she assured us that she would figure out exactly what we were looking for. In the end, she made a buttercream frosting that was exactly what we were looking for. She is not against trial runs on anything and she isn’t offended by anything you say to her. She is only concerned with getting everything exactly how you’d like. We did have a little trouble with email communication that made me think for a week or so that we had made a bad choice in choosing Jeanne. But when I brought my concerns up with her, she was nothing but accommodating saying that she would refund our deposit if we didn’t feel like we fit with her anymore…but that wasn’t at all what we wanted. She had expressed some issues she had been having with sending/receiving emails. However, we decided to move forward with each other and instead of communicating via email, I just called her and that worked fine for the both of us. I would highly recommend Jeanne!! We had an excellent wedding cake that everyone ate! Unfortunately, we only had a very small portion to take home with us the next day (haha). Jeanne suggested that we call her a week or so before our first anniversary and she would make us the top tier of our wedding cake free of charge. I can’t say enough about her!! Excellent vendor, excellent cake, excellent frosting and excellent price!

ain. I emailed and called repeatedly for weeks, but I got no response. The week before my wedding, I really started to panic since I had not heard from her. I had no idea what time she was dropping off the cake, or how much we owed her. My friend finally got her on the phone, and Jeanne allayed all fears saying she would email me all information that day. She claimed that her email had been broken for months, and that is why she never emailed me back. I never heard from her again. That same friend called her the day before the wedding, and Jeanne was so rude. My friend had to miss a cocktail reception to go to the venue to pay for the cake. It was so ridiculous, and I cannot believe that a wedding vendor would behave like this the weekend of my wedding. It was so stressful, and I am shocked at how she treated my friend. It was an awful experience. One flavor was good, the other was terrible. We were supposed to have a third flavor, but I never saw it, and no one that I have spoken to got it. Terrible experience!

The cake was Soo good. I didn't get any of it but the bite at the cutting. People fell and love and still talk about it. Our flavors were Red velvet/ cream cheese, Chocolate/Bailey's Irish cream, vanilla/Heath bar crunch. Yumm. Wish I could go back for some cake!! The best part is Jeanne doesn't believe in eating frozen cake on your anniversary! She Makes you a brand new cake top free of charge for your celebration, Looks just like the original with a few weeks notice of course. If you want she can make the top out of foam and you can have it as a keep sake forever! I can't wait for my anniversary. It may have to be the whole cake. Thanks Jeanne!!!

were all delicious. After that, I sent her a picture of a white cake with Swiss dots that I loved, and told her that I wanted it to look similar. I couldn't believe it on our wedding day -- it looked exactly the same! We could not be happier, and our guests raved about the cake.

ng such a hard time deciding on what I wanted. She loved the ideas that we had and helped us straighten them out so that we wouldn't have a cake that looked like a disaster. Then to help us make a decision on what flavors of buttercream we wanted she made a mock cake for us! We went with a white cake with a layer of pineapple buttercream and a layer of orange buttercream covered in vanilla buttercream (YUMMM)... It was so delicious and everyone loved it! Our theme was dahlia flowers and she did an amazing job with creating green and pink dahlias for our cake. Another thing that is awesome about Jeanne is that she makes a fresh cake for you on your 1 year anniversery! No more worring about saving the top of your cake and eating old frozen cake! I would have to say that the only thing that made me a little upset was that she was a little hard to get a hold of by email, but if you call her she almost always picks up. If I had to do my wedding over I would defenetly make sure to use I Dream of Jeanne Cakes again, she gave me one less thing to worry about which was a true blessing!

ted it, although still beautiful. Jeanne is disorganized and not great at returning calls/emails. I was a little disappointed with her organizational style. We ordered a wedding cake and a groom's cake, which I thought were very reasonable in price. Overall, I would recommend I Dream of Jeanne if you don't mind waiting for a response.

ional Puerto Rican flair, white cake with orange and guava buttercream and the second flavor was white cake with passion fruit buttercream. Especially for a summer wedding the cake was incredibly light and fluffy.

e fact that she provided us with different icing and filling to mix with different cake (white, chocolate, etc). Her buttercream icing has just the right amount of sweetness and her cake is moist but not overly soggy. Jeanne is very talented and her cupcakes are also delicious but I have to say that her cheesecake lollipops are out of this world!!! To this day, our guests are still raving about those cheesecake lollipops. We ordered the wedding cake and a variety of other desserts from Jeanne for our dessert table and they were all gone by the end of the night! I would recommend Jeanne in a heartbeat and we'll be coming back for more for our anniversary!

the planning over the phone and through email. I went back to Massachusetts once before the wedding (for a weekend) and Jeanne was very accomodating to my travel schedule. The week before I arrived, I sent Jeanne a list of the flavors I was interested in. She said that she would prepare two cupcakes of each flavor, with different frostings, and that I could pick them up Saturday morning and take them home with me. When I arrived, she had 12 giant cupcakes ready to go and my family and I spent the rest of the afternoon indulging ourselves! We decided on spice cake with cream cheese frosting to go with our October 30 wedding in Gloucester, MA. It was delicious! All of my friends were raving about the cake and there was not one piece left on the tables! I would definitely recommend her for any wedding or party. I am leaving a rating of 4 only because email responses were a little delayed, but the quality of the cake and Jeanne's friendliness really make up for that!

my slice of cake on the table under the melting ice cream. The one bite I had was scrumptious though! We didn't do anything fancy, just a 3 tier white cake with regular white buttercream frosting and scattered red roses. It looked very nice too!

a professional picture of your cake, she will make you a cake topper a year later for your anniversary. Really nice lady she is just super busy so it is hard to get her attention if your wedding date is not "next week". She is also on the North Shore but will give you options for delivery to other parts of the state.

ed to do cupcakes and she was game. However we wanted mini cupcakes and she did the huge ones. No biggie in the end just know that you have to really stress the details with her so she gets it all.

try so many different flavors in the comfort of her home... we had a really difficult time choosing which combination of cake and icing we wanted because they truly were all so good, and so different. And in terms of the "look" for the cake, I had some vague ideas and two pictures ripped from magazines, but I didn't give her much to go on. I was so, so happy with the way it turned out - it fit perfectly with our summer wedding and incorporated our colors nicely without appearing too busy. Our guests can attest to the quality - nearly every slice was snatched up, and one family friend who is a fabulous baker admitted that she had 2 slices, and took another to go (and then asked for Jeanne's phone number). We loved the cake so much that we couldn't wait for our 1st anniversary to dig in - we cut the top into quarters and decided to have a slice every three months instead... hopefully we can wait that long!
