Irene's Cakes By Design

ten pieces of cake, all with different frostings, layers, etc. She was very patient as we made our decision on the perfect cake for us! Irene also helped us design a beautiful cake for our wedding. It was so perfectly simple, yet still had beautiful details. Irene's cake was exactly what we wanted! Irene worked very well with our florist/coordinator to deliver and decorate the cake. She also provided us with a beautiful and delicious assortment of desserts for our guests! Overall, Irene did an absolutely perfect job. I can't recommend her enough!!

we were able to get in touch with her and book our date! When we first met with her we were able to discuss our vision, try different types of cake, and she was able to accommodate my inability to have dairy (I was so happy to be able to eat my wedding cake!!). I wasn't sure what to expect from our tasting, but we were able to try different flavors, discuss what we liked and design our cake with her. When she sent us a mock-up design, I knew we had made the right choice! She responded quickly to our emails, and the cake was so beautiful I almost had a hard time cutting into it! It was delicious and we continue to get compliments on how great it tasted. Plus, the guests who had food allergies like me were able to have slices from my dairy-free layer!

ing her tasting, which was really awesome. And not only was the cake beautiful, but DELICIOUS. I am already looking forward to our first anniversary so we can eat the topper we saved! We would work with Irene again in a heartbeat. We 100% without any hesitation recommend Irene's Cakes by Design.

surprise grooms cake for my husband. My hubby is not big into cake so Irene created an R2D2 Cake out of brownies! She understood exactly what I had wanted and was able to create an adorable R2D2 in a Tux!! My husband was surprised and our guest were all dazzled by the wonderful job Irene had done. The only thing I was upset about was that Irene makes her brownies with walnuts, something that was not discussed with me. This would not usually be a big deal but I myself am allergic to Nuts, So I could not taste the grooms cake, but I was fine with just eating more of our delicious wedding cake!

o many compliments from our guests about the cake, many saying it was by far the best wedding cake they ever had. The design was also beautiful (fall leaves cascading over the cake) and the attention to detail was incredible. Highly recommend to anyone!

Irene came highly recommended! Our hotel, florist, event planner and photographer all unanimously said Irene makes the best wedding cakes in all of Vermont if not New England! I have to say originally we were not sure if we would have a wedding cake (maybe too traditional) – but we gave it some thought and are so glad we decided to have cake at our wedding. Both my partner and I have a small family so we invited our parents and my sister along to join us for the cake tasting. We thought this was a big deal for us because how often in life do you get to go to a cake tasting? The entire family was very excited and looking forward to it! Irene bent over backwards for us and was so accommodating. Irene was so enthusiastic, organized and helpful during the cake tasting. She went to great lengths to show us sample design options, styles and provided a lot of cake and frosting options to taste and choice from. Irene’s passion truly comes through for loving what she does and that really showed in the final product. Irene created the most beautiful wedding cake for our special day and it tasted amazing! We were so fortunate we found Irene and could not have asked for a better wedding cake! Irene was so much fun to work with! We highly recommend anyone looking for an amazing, out of this world cake for their special day to contact Irene.

mazing red, black and white cake with sugar flowers cascading down it. Irene is so talented and creative! She was so easy to work with and answered any questions we had about our cake. The best part? She delivered the cake to our venue, despite it being over an hour from our venue! Everyone loved the cake and was surprised by how beautiful it was! :) Our cake was delicious - we had a white chocolate cake with raspberry filling! (We're still enjoying it on our honeymoon!)

ng! I would highly recommend her to anyone!

extensive, with each flavor of cake, filling, and icing more delicious than the last. She was very adept at guiding us through the tasting and design process, and gave us a very reasonable quote within a few days. The day of the wedding, delivery was prompt and the cake was absolutely beautiful. My husband and I could not have been happier, and all our guests were incredibly impressed. Definitely the best choice for wedding cakes in the area!

e we requested when it showed up, we loved it!!

t!! EVERY cake and frosting flavor we tried was better than the last, and Irene herself was sweet and fun to work with. If you're getting married anywhere in the New England area, PLEASE do yourself a favor and go to Irene's for your cake, cupcakes, grooms cake - anything.

ore cakes from Irene for special events in the future. Thank you!

ad her send us a cake tasting by mail, which was AMAZING. Who doesn't want a box of cake showing up at your door? Once we tasted the cakes, we knew we had made the right choice. Irene's cakes are delicious, and she has many interesting combinations. Totally fell in love with the apple cake with cardamom icing (it is a VT wedding after all). Day of the wedding there was a little confusion about having flowers on my cake, but they just rolled with it and made the cake beautiful without them. Highly recommend Irene! Wish I could eat her cakes more often.

made as a cake topper was adorable! Highly recommend Irene!

ich was a HUGE hit! We are skiers and she made a ski mountain cake, complete with my husband and I skiing down and all of our favorite trail names from our local mountain. Irene was a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend her to anyone getting married in Vermont!

looked! Would definitely recommend Irene highly!

s and guests that don't even eat cake were asking for a 2nd piece! Irene delivered the cake on time and was very reliable. Highly recommend! - Colleen and Alex

t tell anyone it was gluten free and you couldn't tell since it was the first to go!). Thank you so much Irene for everything. You made our day so special the beautiful and tasty cake!

husband is picky about wedding cakes and has always found them dry and tasteless, but this cake was amazing! The whole process with Irene was very professional and it is clear that she loves what she does. We had such a blast during the amazing cake tasting, it was almost impossible to decide on a flavor. Her combinations are out of this world. The cake came out beautiful, we couldn't have been more pleased. We even followed her directions for storing our cake and it tasted great on our one month anniversary, I can't wait to have our one year piece!!

an amazing Gluten Free cake for my guests with gluten allergies....and I loved it so much I ordered another cake for a celebration the week after my wedding!

lington area. Her work is fantastic and she delivered our cake promptly and without any issues.

le! Our wedding cake looked exactly as we had hoped and all of our guests commented on how delicious it was!!! Thank you Irene for our dream wedding cake + cupcakes to match!!!

to my daughter and son-in-laws ideas about what they wanted and was able to make the perfect cake for them. It was exactly what they had wanted and portrayed the colors and theme perfectly. Every guest at the wedding was raving about how beautiful the cake was and how delicious it was !! It was certainly a highlight of the wedding. The tasting was so much fun and seeing the results were one of my favorite memories of the wedding! I would recommend her completely and wholeheartedly!!! Amazing job!

the best wedding cake that they had ever had. I can't wait for our anniversary to have another piece!! Thank you for dedication to wonderful, delicious, and beautiful cakes!!!

ed a meeting for us promptly and always answered emails promptly. I had a unique request for a design and she came right up with a sketch I loved. I had asked her to use a particular knot that was the theme of my wedding band and wedding, and she, despite having never done one before (and it is a fairly complicated pattern) did an amazing job bringing it to life. She looked at the pictures I brought and asked questions to get me what I wanted. She had great suggestions, creating a "green velvet" for my Irish wedding that the guests absolutely loved! Irene made adjustments easily as the day approached and checked in with me leading up to the event. She provided me with a delivery time and was prompt, leaving me to focus on other things on the day. She provided a box for us to store our anniversary layer in, and I was so impressed when I came into the reception and saw my cake for the first time. It was everything I asked for! To ensure I saw it, Irene also sent me a picture which I greatly appreciated, and felt was a personal and lovely touch. I can easily see why Irene is the preferred Killington vendor, and absolutely recommend her for whatever dessert needs you may have for any event!!

ly what we wanted and I was so happy with not only the taste which was incredible, but the they looked beautiful. I would highly recommend Irene's. My guests are still talking about how good they were!

ke tasting was excellent; Irene took notes of your responses and helped coordinate flavor combinations. For decorations, Irene does amazing work and I couldn't have been happier with the outcome. We had a cake and cupcakes (because we couldn't decide on one flavor). The cake was beautifully decorated just like we discussed. We rented the birch cupcake display; definitely worth the money. Everyone raved about the cake and cupcake flavors.

e to anyone who is looking around for someone to do their cake!

asing her lovely creations. My guests enjoyed the cupcakes so much that we have almost none left over!

wedding mind you!) to make a very personal cake with our most special moments and inside jokes written all over it and she nailed it! The cake was absolutely beautiful and we were showered with praise because of it. Not only was the cake beautiful but it was extremely moist and the most delicious wedding cake I have ever tasted! Each tier had a different flavor (marble, red velvet, lemon with respberry filling and apple crisp with cream cheese filling) and ALL of my guests were very pleased! I wish I could get married again just to have Irene make us another cake! Thank you!

2 days later. I don't even like cake and I cant stop eating our leftovers! The design was more intricate than we even asked for and we were overall very pleased. Irene is very professional and prompt and just a wonderful baker, vendor, and person to work with!!

ce. Not being from Vermont, we relied heavily on recommendations for our vendors, and Irene always came out as the highest on the list. The cake was beautiful, the flavors delicious and every one of our guests said it was the perfect wedding cake. I highly, highly recommend Irene's Cake by Design if you plan a Vermont wedding!

ave asked for a more beautiful and delicious cake for our wedding!!

ar dragon clawing up the side and detailed stone and ivy work. AND IT WAS DELICIOUS. She was professional, responsive, and very easy to deal with! I would highly recommend her!

cakes and they usually look pretty but they don't taste very good - not so with Irene's cakes...they taste amazing! We got to do a trial and taste over 25 flavors of cake and icing combinations. Everything was great and she was easy to work with. I would highly recommend Irene!

we wanted for our wedding! We had an amazing sour cream yellow cake with layers of maple butter cream and fresh raspberries in the middle. On the exterior of the cake Irene created soft texture of her delicious vanilla buttercream. The cake was HEAVENLY! Our guests loved it and said it was the perfect compliment to our summer wedding on our Vermont Farm. On top of the cake we added fresh flowers that really made the cake a showstopping piece at the wedding. I would highly recommend Irene to anyone who wants a wedding cake- her confections are spectacular!

bsolute pleasure to work with. She devoted a lot of time to us to help choose the perfect flavor combinations and decorations unique to our special event. Not only are her cakes amazing, but she is such a special person who we just loved working with. We are so grateful to have met Irene and we will always remember the special and sweet part she played in our marriage! J&P 6/29/2013

our guests were blown away by the dessert table. Not only were they DELICIOUS (they were the last thing we ate on our wedding day) but Irene was also a pleasure to work with and accommodated our many changes along the way without a hiccup. You can have complete faith that she will understand your vision and deliver what you want.

ughout the whole process. For the groom's cake, Irene made a cake modeled after my husband's car and it was identical, even down to the license plate. I definitely recommend Irene's Cakes by Design.

ype of cake flavor and decor wise that you would like. Not only this she was able to provide a vegan and gluten free cake for my guest with dietary issues so everyone could enjoy her cake. I only wish I could have brought more on the honeymoon. The tasting was also my favorite part of wedding planning. Get ready to be wowed!

d our vision. She was able to sculpt a dragon and princess for our cake that were detailed and beautiful. By the end of the night, my husband had 17 pictures of the cake on his phone--and none of me! Not only did it look great, it tasted wonderful. The cake was moist and flavorful. We were so impressed and highly recommend her!
