Jan Kish La Petite Fleur

th lightly brushed burgandy outline on the side of the top layer and special saying painted on the side of the bottom layer with same color palate. Ribbon trimming gave a smooth, sophisticated finish. The 'extra' was a hand- painted (to exactly match!), hand-crafted keepsake figure of the bridal couple's four-pawed family member, darling Moose. He sat beside the cake and now resides at home as a treasured keepsake. The cake was absolutely delicious and moist and only a few crumbs remained after the guests were served. I can only tell you what my experience was with this delightful, uber-talented, experienced culinary artist. CALL and set up an appointment. She can make your less-is-more (like mine) or your over-the-top (wait til you see her albums) a reality. I will add that I have also had the wonderful opportunity to enjoy her cookies, mints, cakes and cupcakes (with her incredible buttercream icing) at different occasions which are fab as well.

rsations, as I was quite unclear about what I was hoping for), and she helped us find the most-beautiful and perfect design! Then, Jan SHIPPED our wedding cake to Washington State...and it arrived in absolutely perfect condition! She is an expert in getting a gorgeous cake to its final destination. Finally...our wedding cake was absolutely DELICIOUS. I have been to countless weddings where the cake was quite pretty, but tasted like cardboard...this was not the case with a cake from La Petite Fleur. The cake was moist and richly-flavored...it was just perfect. Jan also personally drove a cake to our East Coast wedding reception...and, yet again, it was stunning...and delicious. I cannot recommend Jan Kish and her team at La Petite Fleur enough!

reassemble it on site.  It was delicious and much admired by all.

owever, it was hard to focus on the look of the cake while eating the cake because it tasted so good! The cake was a huge hit.. nothing else got eaten at the desert table until the cake was gone. Not only was the cake incredible but Jan mixed in some personal touches that meant a lot to my wife and I! Jan was the right, and only, choice for our wedding/cake and we would certainly recommend to whoever will listen or read! Thank you Jan and Jan Kish La Petite Fleur.

he sabering, too! She's the best!

er the years. Her cupcakes for a baby shower were beautiful, elegant and scrumptious. Do not second guess your choice to hire La Petite Fleur for your next event. She will NOT disappoint, but she will WOW you and your guests.

delivery of the cake went off without a hitch! The appearance of the cake was just exquisite! Upon cutting the cake we enjoyed the cake and filling flavors as well as the fondant! Every morsel was absolutely delicious!!! Jan Kish is professional, thoughtful and her cakes are the very best!

ur expectations. Our groom's cake was a personalized Monopoly board with so many details from the lives of both my husband and I. Our wedding cake was multiple tiers, each a different flavor, and its resembled that of my wedding dress. We had such a positive experience that we have even ordered birthday cakes and shower cupcakes from her since our wedding. Highly recommend!

or the occasion. For my sons wedding reception on a Ohio River sternwheeler, she designed a beautiful three tier cake with a flowing blue icing, to follow the River theme. After reviewing many flavor choices, my daughter in-law had selected the White Swan as her favorite. But baking the cake in Columbus and presenting it on the boat was a significant challenge. She designed and baked the cake in Columbus and then had a two hour drive to Cincinnati. Jan then had to carry it down a steep hill from the parking lot, across a swinging gangway and up two flights of narrow steps. It was a challenging trip. Having the cake displayed as we cruised the River, was the highlight of the meal. And when served, the cake itself was fantastic and commented on by all. Our son Mike and bride Jessica were thrilled with the presentation and the compliments from our guests were the “icing” on the evening for us. Jan has also made a lovely cake when my wife and I redid our vows on our wedding anniversary. This was a two tier oval cake topped with fresh flowers. And she created a delightful retirement party cake for us, that was served at a fly fishing club. In this case, she made a full sized, old fashioned fishing creel. It appeared to be made of woven willow branches with a leather strap and silver buckle. It was displayed with all the accoutrements of a fly fishing day, including a box filled with realistic looking flies. At its side was a coconut trout ( for me), and a placard that said “Gone Fishing. It was charming and fun! We will keep coming back to Jan Kish, for the beautiful memories she has given us.

uttercream icing, adorned with gold leaf. The best was that she made me a 3D keepsake of my sweet French Bulldog Charlie to put on top of the cake. Not only was our cake beautiful but it was DELICIOUS!! Her choice of flavorings for your cake are amazing. Jane also performed a sabering of our champagne bottle for our champagne toast which was so fun and a special touch to our wedding reception! Jan is lovely and I will continue to hire her to make cakes for me for all of my big life celebrations!

my grandparents’ cake topper, which was used at their wedding 50 years ago. (Good job icing the groom’s head back together!). For what it cost, I would expect perfection. Yes this was years ago. It’s been bugging me for years.

Each flower was hand designed in soft rose or peach colored hues, and individual petals were tipped with gold. The cake was a beautiful work of art, admired by our guests. Equally important, our guests enjoyed the delicious cake, which was so moist and flavorful! There is no comparison to a cake designed by Jan Kish! In addition to the wedding cake, Jan provided a wonderful assortment of cookies for our dessert bar. The cannolis and monogrammed sugar cookies were a hit! Jan is both a talented artist and a marvelous baker. She is a professional with years of experience, and she has an amazing ability to create any vision. Finally, she devotes an impressive amount of attention to detail. It is truly a pleasure working with Jan!

e for the kids to enjoy! The entire scene was lit from within for a magical presentation! It was complete with a tiny little mouse scurrying over the drawbridge and a glass carriage. I cannot even describe all of the fine details that she put into this masterpiece!!! Besides being so creative, she was so easy to work with and professional! Jan was always punctual with our appointments and always kept in contact with me throughout the entire process. From the moment that I met her, she put me at ease and gave me complete faith that everything would go well. (At least I didn't have to worry about the cake.) I would describe Jan as a professional professional!

ctly to ensure the best cake for your event. I have commented several times that Jan’s Cakes are works of art! She constantly masters every minute detail to perfection! Please visit her website and her Facebook page.....your jaw will literally drop open at the beauty of her work. Thanks again, Dear Jan, for a job well done! As always, I’m totally in awe of these elegant cakes! ❤️

eral different flavor options. The cake arrived on-time and in perfect condition. Also, for our 5-year anniversary, she recreated a single tier from the cake and I was able to surprise my wife with it at our dinner. Thank you, Jan!

we asked for...including chocolate skull walnut "brain" candies. Her flavors are amazing and her design skills are out of this world! She is punctual, a great communicator, and definitely a team player. Jan worked incredibly well with all our vendors. Though she may appear to be a small operation, don't let that fool you; she can handle large orders. Jan provided our wedding cake, take-away hand pies for each of our 230 guests and the chocolate candies I mentioned before. It was also my husband's 60th birthday and she pulled off a surprise Monopoly™ board cake for him at our wedding. (It's one of his greatest treasures hanging proudly in his office!) Do yourself a favor and let Jan Kish of La Petite Fleur do the baking for you. You won't be sorry!

our venue near Cleveland, Ohio.

she made was also gorgeous as well as delicious. Jan performed a sabering as well, which was fun and helped make our daughter's wedding a night to remember! Cannot recommend her more highly and will call on her again, the next time we want something unique, special and beautiful.

ke looked. Jan was one of the sweetest ladies we have ever met. We highly recommend La Petite Fleur for your wedding cake!

like, and taste. She was in constant communication the whole time and came herself to deliver the cake on the day. The cake truly surpassed pur expectations and everyone enjoyed thouroughly! As delicious as they are beautiful, Jan Kish’s cakes are the only way to go! Second only to the service.

o one could believe they were edible. In addition to the outside of the cake being stunning, the actual taste of the cake was so delicious! This was not a wedding cake people left on their plates when served. We had so many friends come up to us and let us know how they had never had such a yummy wedding cake ever. The cake we ate on our one year anniversary that we had put in the freezer was even amazing. Not only did Jan nail every detail from taste to aesthetic she even made sure our cake made it from Columbus, Ohio to Florida where we were married. I honestly don’t think there is anything this woman can’t do!

od items are delectable. Our wishes were carefully considered and where we lacked ideas Jan offered options. In each instance Jan created a work of art that incorporated aspects of the wedding theme making the cake a unique and exceptionally personal part of the wedding. She is signed on for all future events.

weddings and anniversaries. It was very nice to have her be a part of our special day. Thanks Jan!!!!

onally liked Jan, and would work with her again. I did feel too much "upsale" pressure throughout the early planning process. Not everyone can, or is willing to, spend thousands of dollars on a cake, especially since weddings are expensive enough, and that decision ought to be respected. But overall, Jan reliably delivers an excellent product, and I do recommend her highly.

ing my vision to life with artistic talents!! I look forward to working with Jan for many years to come!!!

cate design and Jan was wonderful through the whole process, even when I kept changing my mind! The cake also TASTED WONDERFUL. We had 4 different flavors and I could not pick a favorite if I had to! I would recommend her over and over again to anyone! Thank you so much for adding such a spectacular piece to our wonderful day --Jan Kish at La Petite Fleur!

which was a nice personal touch that we won't soon forget.

die for. As for the design of our cake, before our consultation we really didn't know what we wanted our cake to look like. Jan walked us through some of her previous designs, and from that helped us create something unique that matched perfectly with our wedding colors, and aesthetic preferences. The day before the wedding, Jan called us up to ask if she could add a design element that she though was missing. It was a small tweak, but she was absolutely right, and it turned out great. I loved that attention to detail, and personal communication about the design. It isn't something you always find with a large baker. Thank you Jan Kish for the perfect cake!

e a custom cake flavor combo. As far as cake design, I chose an on trend cake design that was very simple (I had my florist decorate with fresh flowers) and felt she wanted it to be more complicated. She didn't seem too thrilled with my design choice. In the end though I loved my cake, and she gave me exactly what I asked for! I would just say to be a little more positive about what your bride wants even if you have made 100 cakes like that, and when doing the tastings, the cake was quite dry. 3/5 stars!

ful and delicious. The night was a huge success. Jan's the real deal. Look no further.

r to anyone who wants a gorgeous cake for their wedding!

appear as though fall-colored maple leaves were tumbling down the side of our cake, which was exactly what I wanted and it matched the rest of our theme wonderfully. Jan made the whole process very easy, especially on the day of the wedding (which is always much appreciated for an overwhelmed bride!). The cake was so delicious! I would recommend Jan to anyone looking for beautiful cake creator for their wedding or other special occasions.

e as delicious on the inside as they are beautiful on the out. For my daughter's wedding, she worked with us to design an English/vintage multi-layered cake using cake pans that she designed and patented - the English Boxwood Garden. Adding iridescence to a Wedgewood jasperware blue and cream-colored designs/swags gave the cake a vintage feel with a modern shimmer. The couple are fans of the Dole Pineapple Whip soft-serve dessert only served at Disney World. Jan created her own cake flavor that captured the unique taste that they love. She used it as the cake flavor in the "midnight cake" awaiting the couple in their hotel room. In short, when you work with Jan, you work with an artist who will take your wishes to a new level. She'll ask you lots of questions, offer tastes of many flavors and show you albums of her work that will make the cake another treasured wedding party member.

y samples she let both my dad and I try for my tasting. She came up with a cake that blew my mind! It was both beautiful and tasted amazing! I already can't wait to have my anniversary cake because her cakes are so good! Thank you so much Jan!

d the cake as did our guests.

e middle man making phone calls between the two of them as my wedding approached, AND created a custom icing that wouldnt melt at my outdoor August wedding. Oh, and the cake was absolutely DELICIOUS! I highly recommend her for your special day :)

d even better than it looked. If someone can convince me to like cake, you know they're good.

ed the taste and flavor! We way over ordered for the number of guests we ended up having, but there were no leftovers - everyone wanted seconds! I promise Jan does not disappoint!

nsultation, at a residential duplex in Worthington, we were extremely caught off guard when Jan was out of town on vacation and left an employee to lead the consultation. During the consultation we saw cats in the next room in the kitchen area. My fiancé and I wouldn't have kept this appointment had we known that there would be cats roaming around in the same room as production and that Jan herself wouldn't even be present. This is not the level of professionalism we expected for the price of her work.

ctly and made a separate grooms cake for us as well. She went above and beyond in the set up for the cake and helped us figure out how to best display it. The entire experience was seamless with La Petite Fleur. She truly made our day even more magical. I would recommend Jan to all of my friends. I will absolutely be using her for all future celebrations.

d call! We had a surprise wedding in our own backyard, but the gorgeous and impressive cake from La Petite Fleur, helped the event have an air of luxury. Further, Jan's cakes are completely delicious. So many wedding cakes are pretty but disappointing to eat, and that was certainly not the case with our cake from La Petite Fleur. Guests tripped over each other for a second piece! The best part of all is...Jan is doing my baby shower cake this year!

special (even though I know she has 100 other brides to attend to too). She helped me create a design that was meaningful, replicating the design of my wedding dress and my Mom's in alternating layers. We picked the spice, New England Blueberry (my favorite), Lemon Raspberry and Red Velvet (my husband's favorite). YUM! I truly can't say enough great things about this vendor - she is truly a talented artist with a warm heart and fair pricing! I didn’t have to worry about a thing and she brought all my wedding cake dreams to life!

hing amazing. We met with Jan several times to do tastings, pick out flavors and come up with a design -- she was so sweet and knowledgeable and a true artist! I wanted a cake that hadn't been done before, so she came up with an idea based on a fabric pattern she had seen on a piece of furniture. I knew the cake was going to be beautiful, but when I walked into my reception room at the Ohio Statehouse, I was blown away, as was my mom. It was stunning! Not only did the cake look beautiful, but it tasted amazing! All of my guests raved about this cake. Many said it was "the best cake ever." We had a special top tier to eat in our hotel room on our wedding night, which was so special and I can't wait to eat the anniversary tier on our first anniversary. We were so lucky to have such a beautiful cake and I can't recommend Jan Kish enough. If you want a spectacular cake that tastes amazing--contact Jan Kish at La Petite Fleur!

! We shared several ideas and Jan demonstrated a great deal of creativity. We expressed what we thought we wanted and she exceeded our every expectation! The cake was unbelievably beautiful! It was an 11-11-11 wedding, so we were planning a fall theme. When we walked in, we were greeted by the most beautiful cake surrounded by a dazzling display of multi-colored fallen leaves and baby acorns, topped with an array of rich flowers and fiddle fern - all hand sculpted out of fine sugar! No one - including the two of us - could believe that they weren't real flowers - simply amazing in their lifelike appearance! Some guests ever so gently touched the delicate leaves that were placed on the cake table and we watched their surprise when they realized that they were touching a work of art! We were simply stunned and can't thank her enough for creating such an amazing and unforgettable cake for our once in a lifetime event! And as amazing as the cake looked, it tasted just as delicious!! Thank you, Jan! You're the BEST! ~Doug & Todd

rent options Jan made this experience so easy and wonderful. We would like to thank her for everything she has done for us on our big day. The sabering is amazing as well, definately something to see!

bride and groom and used it as the center piece for our table. It was the perfect cake! The chocolate and butter-cream layers were beautifully adorned with a pear green fondant matching the bridal colors. To balance the off sided top tier were two scaling green cymbidium orchids, added to match the one I wore in my hair. It was such a clean and delicate design next to the classic white linens. I never would have changed a thing! For our guests we offered an assorted dessert buffet from the venue. It worked out great and had so many compliments on it. Many thanks to Jan at La Petite Fleur for her wonderful creative aesthetic and for making this part of our wedding so special! -Amanda Raupple
