It was a pleasure working with Julie! The tasting experience at her shop was so fun, and the final product was delicious and beautiful! I would absolutely recommend working with her for your cake!
I highly recommend Julie Michelle Cakes! Julie was so kind and easy to work with throughout the whole process. Our wedding cake was absolutely beautiful, delicious, and exactly what we had envisioned. We’re so glad we went with Julie Michelle Cakes for our wedding.
Our cake was a work of art and tasted so good! We opted for a dessert table rather than a plated/served dessert and people confessed to us after the wedding that they went back for seconds. Julie was wonderful to work with and we hope to use her cakes for special events in the future!
Julie is amazing!! The tasting experience is so much fun getting to try all of her different flavors! She will work with you to do whatever style you want and her cake is amazing! Our guests are still talking about how great the cake was!
The taste testing was a very fun experience! All the flavors were truly delicious. The cake turned out beautiful and we could not have asked for more! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a beautiful wedding cake!
LOVED Julie; she was kind and very accommodating. She made the best cake and we so appreciate all her support. I would definitely recommend her and her business.
Julie !!! Where do we even begin! You created the most stunning cake we have ever seen! From every little detail our dream wedding cake came to life !!!! My now husband was already trying to eat the topper that we saved for our one year anniversary lol !!! If we does we may just have to order another hehe! Julie, we truly can not say enough kind words! From the tasting to the wedding day, you blew us away! Your talent is extraordinary!!!! There is no cake designer like you in this world ! We thank you for creating the most beautiful cake we have ever seen! Brides, if you want a show stopper cake, do not pass up the opportunity of having Julie make your cake! I promise, she will deliver ! Xo
Our cake was so delicious I had two slices at the wedding. Julie is also just the sweetest!! We loved her style of tasting where it is simply mix and match. It makes for such unique flavor mixtures and a completely customized wedding cake. We had 3 flavors - almond cake with white chocolate and strawberry frosting, chocolate cake with peanut butter and vanilla frosting, and lemon cake with raspberry, pistachio, and champagne frosting. Our little cake was decorated with fresh lavender buds and sprigs - it was beautiful!!! I'm only bummed that we didn't have more left over!
I guess we will just have to order cakes from Julie again in the future :)
Julie Michelle was amazing from the start. At the cake tasting she answered all our questions we had in regards to the cake and let us taste as many samples as we needed to to pick what would make our wedding cake taste great. On the day of our wedding she delivered our cake and even helped incorporate our dog on the cake as we had asked her to do. The cake tasted amazing, you will not second guess using her to make the cake the best your guests have ever had.
Thank you so much!!
Brittany and Eric Johnson.
I highly recommend having your cake designed and made by Julie Michelle Cakes! She was so personable, friendly and easy to work with. Wedding cake tasting was such a blast and the cake options tasted were delicious!! She is extremely talented and was able to make our wedding cake vision come to life! You will not be disappointed.
Julie made such a beautiful and delicious cake for our wedding! So glad we found her!
After our Wedding Cake Baker Last minute closed we had to find someone to make our wedding cake and Julie came to the rescue! She made us a beautiful 5 tier cake that not only was a work of art and looked beautiful on our dance floor also tasted amazing. Everyone loved the cake and we are so pleased with how beautiful Julie made the cake. She was so easy to work with and is so good at her job! If you need a wedding cake baker book Julie to not be disappointed.
The cake tasted amazing: Julie has some of the best flavor options out there. One of our sections had guava and it was absolutely delicious!!!
She is also an amazing artist. Everything I asked for she created and more!
You will definitely want to have her make your wedding cake 😄
Julie Michelle has the best cakes easily. We used Julie for our wedding cake. She is very attentive to the details of you and your day. She offers a cake tasting in order to figure out what type of cake and frosting you would like. I would 100% recommend all her flavors however the lemon and almond cake I am biased toward.
She has different types of styles for her cakes. Anyone with any type of taste or style will easily be able to find it with Julie.
The day of our wedding, everyone enjoyed the cake so much that people had multiple pieces and we did not have any leftovers!
We have the top tier of our cake for our one year anniversary and we are beyond excited to have it next year!
I will always recommend Julie Michelle for anyone looking for tasty sweets for their event
5 star for Julie! She was one of our favorite vendors and we would absolutely recommend. So easy to work with and had the most delicious cakes! Sampling her cakes was one of our favorite parts of wedding planning. She had such a wide range of different flavors and was able to work within our budget to deliver exactly what we wanted. Everything tasted delicious! We can’t wait to eat the top layer of our wedding cake on our one year anniversary!
Julie is such a sweetheart! We had nothing short of an amazing experience working with Julie Michelle Cakes. We set up a tasting - simply delicious and Julie went put of her way to make different creations for us to try to ensure we got exactly what we wanted. She came right on time to deliver our cake for the wedding and by the end of the night, there wasn't a slice left!! She truly knows what she is doing, was a pleasure to work with throughout the entire experience and we absolutely recommend her!
Pure Perfection! There was never a doubt that Julie Michele Cakes was going to be the vendor for our daughter’s wedding. When we first started looking for vendors, I saw her Instagram and all the videos and posts on it. Is it possible to know that a cake is going to be amazing from videos/posts alone? I think so! Her attention to detail, the assortment of flavors, cake options, and her decorating ability is above and beyond anything I have ever seen and tasted. The wedding cake from her was absolutely the very best! It was delicious and we received so many compliments from our guests. The cake created was four tier of alternating flavors, simply iced and flowers added by Julie that were supplied by our florist. It couldn’t have been more beautiful. If you are planning an event, keep Julie in mind you will not be disappointed!
Julie is amazing! Her level of detail is impeccable. We went for our cake tasting and had so much fun with her and trying all the flavors. We opted for an almond cake with pecan filling on one layer and chocolate cake with peanut butter filling for the other. It was delicious!! So hard to choose between all the mouth watering flavors. Couple that with her beautiful designs and bon appetit! Absolutely perfect! THANK YOU!!
Julie Michelle is great to work with and we had nothing but compliments on how tasty her cake was. She is very responsive and professional. Her cake tasting is fun and you can create any cake you want! Would highly recommend.
We first fell in love with Julie Michelle's amazing designs on her website and knew we wanted to have a beautiful cake for our wedding. Julie and her husband were amazing to work with! The cake tasting was so much fun and we loved being able to create the exact cake that we wanted. We couldn't have been happier with our wedding cake! The design was exactly as we had dreamed and it was sooo yummy!! We love the amount of effort they put not only in the amazing flavor but also the presentation and final touches (like our fresh flowers). We highly recommend Julie Michelle Cakes for your wedding!!
Julie Michelle is the consummate professional for your event. She was the only wedding vendor that remained steadfast in her service all through Covid, when we planned and re-planned our wedding several times, changing the location, theme and number of guests constantly. She was patient and considerate, when it was a devastating time for a small business (especially large weddings) to remain afloat.
She has a wonderful studio for sampling and great ideas on her Instagram, to help you know that she is the right choice. On our actual wedding day, she was the one vendor that quietly and perfectly delivered. We never had to follow-up and that meant a lot for an out-of-town wedding. The cake was so delicious...our only regret is that we never got a piece. Our guests barely left a bite!
I got the dream team of vendors for my lakeside wedding in Delavan Wisconsin. All I can say is if you don't have a Julie Michelle Cake at your wedding, you are missing out! Every single guest made mention of how phenomenal the cake was. We had two different types of cake and they both were amazing!!! I can't wait to eat our cake on our one year anniversary, but we will be getting Julie Michelle Cakes again!!
Julie is simply phenomenal. From the moment we reached out, she was so organized and genuinely excited to help us with our dream cake for our wedding day. I had followed Julie on Instagram for years, and was so excited to finally have the opportunity to work with her. Everyone I have known who has had a wedding in the Lake Geneva area has used her for their cake and raves about how great she is. She set up a tasting with us a few months before the wedding and honestly whatever cake or flavor you choose, you can't go wrong, everything is absolutely incredible! We chose chocolate cake with vanilla frosting and lemon cake with strawberry frosting. We chose the chocolate cake since that is my mother in laws favorite cake. She cannot stop talking about how it is THE best cake she has ever had. The lemon was also incredible and great for a June wedding. Since we got back from our honeymoon, so many people have been asking where we got our wedding cake because they loved it so much! My husband and I have been craving the cake since our wedding day. Julie makes the entire process from finding a cake to the wedding day fun and seamless. I cannot recommend her enough!
Our cake was gorgeous - and delicious!! Thank you, Julie!
Julie was recommended to us by our venue and we could not be happier with our experience. We went in for a tasting with my parents and it was such a fun experience to pick out our cake and icing flavors (she has so many!). The cake was absolutely beautiful and tasted amazing. On top of that, Julie is so sweet and easy to work with.
Our cake was so beautiful and we loved the flowers/ cake topper. It turned out exactly how I wanted. So many guests came up to me to say how delicious the cake was and wanted more. Thank you for all that you do!!
We met with Julie Michelle several months prior to our wedding to choose our cake flavors and to discuss the design. Not only is her space super cute, but the variety of cake and frosting options were amazing! Julie is incredibly sweet, easy to work with and made the process very seamless for us. She took the time necessary to break down our options and educate us on the amount of cake necessary for our guest count. Needless to say, the cake was a total hit!
Julie took our vision for our wedding cake and brought it to life. When I saw it as we walked into the reception hall at The Standard on the day of, I was blown away. It was simple, yet absolutely stunning! I couldn’t recommend Julie enough.
Tasting went smoothly and there were lots of options to choose from. The cake itself was exactly as I wanted and tasted fantastic. Highly recommend.
If you want variety, great flavor, moist cakes, and a decent bang for your buck this is definitely the place you need to get your cake from! The tasting was amazing and we came up with a great combo! The design - she was able to bring to life and it came out perfectly! In conjunction with my florist, it was a perfect finished touch!
Don’t look anywhere else for your cake...Julie is the best!! When we originally hired Julie, we had met her at a bridal expo and she was serving a sampler platter of all different desserts which was a new concept for them. We thought this was so cool and not being cake people ourselves we thought this was a great option. Fast forward to 2020 and the pandemic hit so this type of dessert assortment wasn’t something that a lot of people might be comfortable with as it was a grazing table that people would be picking at with their hands. We decided it would be best to go with a cake. When we went to our tasting we were BLOWN away! My husband still says it was his absolute favorite part of the wedding planning process. The cake options are amazing and so so delicious and Julie is just the sweetest person. She even held our son most of the tasting for us so that we could enjoy. Our cake wasn’t only delicious it was a gorgeous monochrome white bow cake. We loved it so much and got so many compliments! We saved our top tier for our one year anniversary but we ended up eating it the day after the wedding because we were too excited! Thank you Julie!!
Julie is justttt the BEST. She made us the most beautiful wedding cake (and a LOVELY mini cake for our original wedding date after we postponed and I contacted her super last minute asking if I could order one to surprise my fiance with—she didn't even bat an eye and made it for us even though I'm certain she was wildly busy at the time) and we didn't have any left over—everyone RAVED about it. She's also incredibly, incredibly sweet and kind (like I can't even talk about how nice she is—and her husband who works with her!) and was a pleasure to communicate with. Her work speaks for itself. I would highly recommend her to anyone, and I definitely will forever.
Julie is so easy to work with and her cakes are amazing. We had her cakes for our small wedding in 2020 and our 1 year anniversary celebration and received so many complements on how good the cake was (even the gluten free). We definitely recommend her for all events, we will be ordering from her in the future!
Julie Michelle just made our wedding cake and people could not get over how good it was! Julie and her husband are an amazing team and even better to work with. They are so kind and will go above and beyond to meet your dream cake needs. Julie has a true eye for design and all her cakes are beautiful. I strongly recommend them for all your cake needs. You will not be disappointed!
Julie did an amazing job on our wedding cake. She was a pleasure to work with throughout the planning process. I love funfetti cake and she was able to accommodate my request :) The cake was absolutely delicious (and beautiful) and we received so many compliments from our guests. I highly recommend Julie!
From start to finish, my wife and I's experience with Julie was great. Our tasting was really awesome, and definitely a positive experience. Julie worked with us to find not only the cake flavors that we wanted, but also worked with us and our budget to find a beautiful design that we loved as well. Julie also offered a cotton candy machine at the venue that we purchased, and it was definitely a hit. We had not only the kids, but the adults were enjoying it as well. Overall, it was an awesome experience and we highly recommend Julie for all your dessert needs!
Julie was amazing with the whole process in finding us the perfect wedding cake. From a fabulous tasting/design meeting to delivery of the cake she was amazing. Our wedding cake was gorgeous and delicious, we would 100% recommend Julie and will use her again for future cake needs :).
Julie accommodated our busy schedule and living four hours away by letting us pick up a tasting kit and brainstorming ideas for our cake over the phone. Our cake was delicious, exactly what we imagined and within our budget.
Julie is the total package - beyond friendly, personable, professional and easy to work with, and has the most beautiful cake designs imaginable. We used Julie for our wedding cake, family birthday cakes, and mothers day cakes - and each time we would receive countless compliments on how stunning they looked and how wonderful they taste! I couldn't believe how many guests came up to me at our wedding to compliment "the best wedding cake they've ever eaten". Her work speaks for itself - THE BEST!
Absolutely love Julie Michelle Cakes! The entire planning process was a dream. They were the first cake tasting my husband and I went to and we never looked back! Julie had different types of cakes and a large assortment of frosting and filling flavors for us to try, all very delicious! When we had to reschedule our wedding, Julie was so sweet and worked around our new date. We ordered our wedding cake and a groom's cake. Both were perfect and tasted unbelievable! Our guests kept raving about how great the cake was all night. I can’t wait to order more cakes from Julie in the future and cannot recommend them enough!
Working with Julie for our wedding cake was amazing! She was so easy to communicate with and so much fun to work with.
The tasting was so fun, her flavors are out of this world. We ended up choosing 4 different flavor combinations and our guests loved them!! Not only did our cake tasted wonderful but it was beautiful and fit right into our wedding design. You will not regret choosing Julie Michelle Cakes!!
The cake was incredible look and taste wise. We had a three tier cake and went for a simple, rustic look. The cake was exactly what we asked for. We were able to choose from 3 different flavors and mix matched flavors and each tier tasted amazing!
Get this cake! Work with this lovely woman!
When reviewing wedding vendors I think about 1) the planning/communication process and 2) the final result. Julie was so impressive in both categories! She was always responsive and informative in emails, but she went above and beyond when we had to postpone our wedding due to COVID - when I was worried about finding a new wedding date that worked for all our vendors, Julie told me not to worry - she would ensure I had my cake any date we found! And then on our actual wedding date, our cake looked gorgeous, tasted amazing, and our guests have not stopped raving about it for days! You will not have to worry about a thing but having the best cake around if you hire Julie Michelle :)
I cannot recommend Julie more for your cake! We went for our tasting to her adorable shop, and we fell in love right away. Her cake is DELICIOUS. Nothing else tasted nearly as good as Julie's cakes. We received SO many compliments at our wedding for the cake. A ton of our guests who are self claimed "anti-sweets," ate 2 - 3 pieces each, they loved it that much.
Beyond her delicious cake, Julie is also extremely wonderful to work with. She was always very easy to get in contact with, offered us amazing suggestions for cake types and frosting combinations, and was just all around a pleasure. Her and her husband are just all around good people.
During COVID Julie made small cakes and sold them for various holidays. We love her and her cake so much that we would drive up from Chicago just to get one of her small cakes. Really, she is amazing! Highly, highly recommend!
Julie did an exceptional job with my cake and cotton candy cart. She had the cutest shop in Harvard, IL where Adam and I were able to taste the cake flavors and discuss our options.
At the end of the day, we LOVED how we could customize the different layers/flavors of the cake, and Julie was extremely careful to make sure the cake was made in a nut-free kitchen (due to a guest's severe nut allergy).
For the cotton candy, it was a HIT!! Everyone raved about what a sweet treat it was at the end of the night. And I'd be remiss to not mention the edible glitter. 10 out of 10 would recommend!
We used Julie Michelle Cakes for our wedding last weekend. From start to finish we had the best experience. She is super sweet and our cake was absolutely beautiful! We received so many compliments on our cake throughout the night between the taste and design. I highly recommend Julie!
I would highly recommend Julie Michelle Cakes! We went in for a tasting and completely fell in love!! My now husband is not huge with sweets, so it was hard to convince him or get him excited about cake. When we went in for the tasting, we were both blown away! We got to choose any combination of cake and frosting that we wanted, which was amazing. She had the standard cake flavors, but she also had available more frosting flavors than you could think of! (YUMMM) We had each tier a different flavor and cake combination which our guests loved! The cake tasted AMAZING and everyone at the wedding raved about it! Julie was also so wonderful to work with. Due to COVID, we ended up going from 300 guests, to 55 guests. Julie was so accommodating and we ended up going from sheet cakes to a four tier cake which turned out beautiful! We had some leftover cake to bring home to eat for a week and we even got an anniversary cake that we can't wait to dig into next year! I cannot say enough great things about Julie Michelle Cakes & I cannot wait to order another cake from her!!
Cake tasting with Julie Michelle was one of my fiance and my favorite engagement journey experiences. Julie is amazing and her cakes are phenomenal. Hands down the best cake baker/vendor to go with!!!! Thank you JULIE!!
I can not say enough good things about Julie Michelle Cakes & the experience we had with them for our wedding. We were married at The Abbey in Lake Geneva in October & planned it all through Covid-times. Julie was wonderful to work with throughout the entire process, from the "dream" to the tasting ((second best day ever)) to the end results on our wedding day. We did a vanilla cake with sprinkles & boysenberry buttercream - honestly do die for. Our guests raved about how good it was!! We ended up eating the top tier slowly the week after the wedding instead of freezing it, it was THAT good. Can't wait to find another excuse to order a cake from them asap. Would highly highly recommend!
Julie is definitely the best for wedding cakes!! Starting with the amazing cake tasting experience during the pandemic, we knew Julie was the right baker for our wedding cake. She has so many delicious filling and cake options. It was so hard for us to choose, we picked the almond cake with strawberry filling, it was SO YUMMY! She also decorated our cake with the flowers and it looked gorgeous. Thank you so much Julie!
Hiring Julie as our wedding dessert/cake vendor was a great decision! She went above and beyond to ensure our guests were well-fed with dessert and also safe at the same time with the given circumstances of the pandemic. Our cake was absolutely amazing and highly recommend the butter pecan cream cheese frosting (YUM!) and she also made individual dessert boxes for our guests to take home with them. It was a fun touch on party favors. Julie was great to work with and also even made a pre-wedding cake for me to gift to my mom to try! Highly recommend!
We absolutely loved our experience working with JMC! From the tasting to the finished product, we were thrilled. Stunning work, and a taste that can't be beat!
Julie is the absolute best!!! She created my wedding cake in August 2019. Not only was it beautiful, but it tasted soooo good! Any flavor combination of hers is delicious, so good luck picking : ) You will not be disappointed if you go with Julie. I was given her name by someone who highly recommended her and I would highly recommend her to anyone getting married. Just check her out on Instagram to see her beautiful work! She’s amazing....and the sweetest!!!
JMC was a complete pleasure to work with from beginning to end. From the moment our tasting began, we knew that she was the perfect choice for our wedding cake! She combined our ideas with her expertise and created the most special five-tiered wedding cake. It honestly brought tears to my eyes when I walked into the reception and saw the finished product. Each tier was insanely delicious. We couldn't have asked for a tastier or more beautiful cake for our big day! We can't wait to use Julie for all of our cake needs!
I feel in love with a styled wedding shoot cake Julie created a year before I got engaged. I knew I had to have Julie make my cake. She is so professional and responsive when it comes to her brides. I love that all her cakes are innovative and unique. Not to mention several guests reached out after my wedding asking who made my cake because it was so tasty!
I can’t rave enough about our wedding cake! It was beautiful and just as I had envisioned it! Julie went to great lengths to make sure it was perfect. Not to mention it was so delicious. We didn’t have any left after our wedding, everyone loved it! We had a vanilla & chocolate cake with Oreo and cream cheese. All of it was amazing! Please consider working with Julie Michelle, you will not be disappointed!
Julie is an artist. Seriously. What she is doing is next level. She's definitely not your basic cake girl. She is trendy, modish and changing the way you think of wedding cake. You want cute, Instagram, wedding magazine wedding cake? She is your girl. A bonus is the cake is DELICIOUS. I got the buttercream with champagne filling and if I could eat it every day I would! I loved my cake, loved my experience. Follow her on Instagram too. She's too cute with all her cake updates!
Julie was great to work with from the beginning. She worked with us to create a beautiful cake within our budget. Honestly, it was the best cake we have ever eaten and had several guests reach out to us raving about the cake!! You can’t go wrong working with Julie!
I mentioned to Julie early on that our wedding cake was one part of the wedding I was most excited for, and she did not disappoint. From the tasting all the way through to delivering the cake day of, Julie was a dream to work with. Our cake turned out beautiful and not to mention SO delicious.
Julie also came back later in the evening with her famous cotton candy cart and it was a highlight of the day for a lot of people. Our day would not have been the same without Julie's amazing talents!
We're planning to have many more Julie Michelle Cakes in our future!
Not only beautiful, but delicious! Julie was so accommodating and not only met, but exceeded expectations! We also, had the cotton candy cart and it was a huge it! Perfection!
Julie is fantastic to work with and very personable. We decided on a two-tier wedding cake, cupcakes, and to have her spin cotton candy for us. Our guests could not stop raving about all three! Not only did our desserts look beautiful but tasted delicious. I would highly recommend her products and services and would easily hire her again for our cake needs.
We had an amazing experience with Julie Michelle Cakes. Everything from the cake tasting to the day of the wedding was great. We had so many people tell us how great the cake was. I was highly impressed with the flavor of the cake and the decoration of the cake. I would recommend her to anyone.
Julie was outstanding and so easy to work with! My cake was beautiful and delicious! All my guests raved about the unique flavors. It was so good I had leftover cake for breakfast the morning after my wedding....:). Thank you Julie!!!
WE LOVED HER CAKE! Julie is the sweetest and her cakes are even better! She made the whole process so easy, and made exactly what we were looking for in a cake. We can't wait to celebrate our one year anniversary just to eat the top tier. Definitely worth it!
Julie Michelle Cakes, words can't express our experience. From meeting Julie at the cake tasting is an experience to Julie designing our perfect wedding cake, she is a producer that makes the experience fun and engaging. We knew from the first moment our biggest day was in the best hands. Our cake exceeded our expectations and became the centerpiece of our reception. Our guests raved about the beauty and how delicious, we chose each of our favorite flavors....red velvet and a vanilla bean chocolate ganache.....both were tasted and loved! I would recommend Julie Michelle to anyone looking for an extrodernary experience from start to finish.
Not only is Julie incredibly talented design wise, but her cakes are DELICIOUS! She was so easy to work with and completely understood what our vision for our cake design was. Weeks later, people are still talking about how delicious & beautiful our cake was.
Julie was such a pleasure and joy to work with and made everything about the cake decision process so easy and fun. She not only can make the most beautiful cakes known to man, but she makes them so tasty and delicious! We received texts days after our wedding still raving about how gorgeous and delicious our cake was!! Julie was so excited and nice every time I talked with her, that she was hands down my favorite vendor I worked with. She is so sweet and you just cant go wrong with choosing Julie Michelle cakes!!
Julie Michelle was absolutely the best choice for us. We worked with her for our June 2018 wedding. There are a number of reasons why I would recommend working with her. She makes beautiful and delicious wedding cake. She is an artist and a baker. She is very responsive and easy to work with. She makes you feel comfortable and make you her priority. She is able to understand and clarify your vision so that your cake is just what you are hoping for.
My wife and I have different tastes in cake. Luckily Julie Michelle could mix and match the different tiers of our wedding cake so there was something for everyone to enjoy (we ended up alternating between carrot cake with cream cheese frosting and almond cake with lemon frosting). Throughout the process of working with Julie Michelle, she was able to understand and help us to clarify our vision, such that it was perfect for our big day. One thing I really like about her social media feed is that you can see the variety of cakes she produces for others. She also has lots of examples of her work on her website. This really made it easier to settle on a particular style and we were able to work through the details from there. One last note about the social media feed. Julie Michelle was posting updates of our very cake leading up to the wedding which made my wife very happy. She even sent the raw footage to my wife following our wedding.
A small note on style. My wife loves sprinkles, always has. She wanted a falling sprinkle pattern of different shades of pink. No easy task, though Julie Michelle was able to pull this off masterfully. To our knowledge, this involved some new territory for her and she executed beautifully. We could not have been happier with our cake.
Julie Michelle was a joy to work with. She is responsive, enthusiastic, and made us feel good about our big day. One element which made us feel good early on was the complementary tasting. She presented us with a variety of cakes and frostings in her bakery and spent 2 hours with us as we spoke about our vision and savored the varieties of her delicious cakes. Early on, she was able to get a sense of our vision and demonstrate that she could execute on our vision.
In closing, I would highly recommend Julie Michelle. We could not have been more pleased with our experience and our beautiful wedding cake.
There aren’t enough words and stars to say and give to Julie. Julie is hands down the best cake baker and designer I have ever tasted and seen!! My husband and I had so much fun at the tasting in October 2017. We picked our three different flavors of cake. Almond with boysenberry, lemon, and cream cheese. Chocolate with espresso, peanut butter, and Oreo. Red velvet with cream cheese. We got to custom pick out tall those flavors in addition to creating a custom cake. I wanted something grand and different. I was so sick of seeing the white buttercream cake with lines on it at every rustic wedding. Well boy oh boy, Julie sure did listen to me! She created a MASTERPIECE! 6 tier buttercream cake with a different design on every single tier while using my three colors navy, blush, and gold. The moment I saw my wedding cake I started crying because it was so beautiful. We go SO many compliments on the the taste and that it was the best cake our guests have ever had. I am SO over the moon happy we found Julie. She is amazing and I can’t wait to use her for every-time we need a cake. Julie truly is a luxury wedding cake business. Phenomenal cake. Amazing customer service. Beautiful work. I would recommend every single friend and family member to Julie Michelle!!
P.S. - Follow her on Instagram. It is SO fun to watch her and her husband make every single wedding cake!
Attention Bachelorettes!
Getting married this year???
Then do I have the sweets vendor for you!
My husband and I were united in wedded bliss on 6.2.2018 in the Lake Geneva, WI area. Our theme……Our Best Day ever, and it did turn out to be just that. Not only for us, but for many of our friends and family, thanks to the support, help, and beautifying that were received and/or serviced to us, on behalf of the business highlighted in this review.
What do you and your man prefer? The tastes of the standard chocolate, vanilla? Or how about the unique essences of champagne, peanut butter, and Oreo? Not matter what you palate style or partiality, Julie Michelle Cakes has and offers whatever you want, and let me tell you ladies, her baking is Martha Stewart/Barefoot Contessa comparative. She is baker at heart and her work is truly part of her soul; she pours her love of this role, as you will tell, into her every whip and stir. The cake – from cup to sheet – is just scrumptious; her frostings – delectable. And to top it all off, she spins Cotton Candy! For just a few extra hours, including edible glitter, and a variety of flavors, you can rent out her cart – her included – to provide your guests a sugar high that will keep them dancing into the evening. She is simply a gem to interact and conduct business with; and once you start that interaction – you won’t stop….we are headed back there, every year, to her entity, for an anniversary treat that cannot be outdone!
Julie is the most talented and creative wedding cake artist I have ever seen. You can tell there is passion in her heart, and she truly makes you feel like such a special bride! She invited us to a cake tasting, and my husband, family, and I were blown away by how AMAZING her cakes and fillings were. I was clueless when it came to how I wanted my cake to be designed, but Julie took my ideas and made it a masterpiece! Our guests were raving about how amazing the cake was. A huge shout out to Julie for creating the wedding cake of our dreams!! Brides - if you are looking for a beautiful, custom, delicious wedding cake - Stop here. Julie Michelle Cakes is the place for you!!
We absolutely loved Julie Michelle Cakes. She did a wonderful job making our expectations reality. The cake was wonderful and our guest said it was the best wedding cake they have had! We would definitely recommend and will use her in the future!
Thank you Julie for making our jaws literally drop when we saw our wedding cake! You are so talented and we are speechless when describing how perfect our cake was. Every guest was commenting how they've never seen such an elegant cake before. Julie took our ideas and turned them into a masterpiece. My husband and I are obsessed with Oreos, so Julie created an Oreo filling for us. She helped us design the cake of our dreams and we are so thankful!
Julie was such a pleasure to work with. From the cake tasting to the wedding, she was accommodating, professional and listened to everything I wanted. The cake she made for us was absolutely delicious. Many of my guests commented on how amazing the cake was. AND it looked beautiful. It was exactly what I wanted. Highly recommend Julie!
If you love cotton candy this is where to get it. We had six different flavors at our wedding. What a fun thing to have. Everyone enjoyed it and I could not have been more happy at how it turned out.
I recently ordered a small wedding/bridal cake for my wedding last week from Julie Michelle Cakes. Not only was it beautiful and extremely yummy but the whole process was so easy. The customer service that Julie provided was excellent having completed the transaction and planning all remotely. This was very much appreciated especially in light of my busy work travel schedule. If looking for a fantastic cake vendor - it is worth checking out Julie Michelle Cakes!
I cannot possibly describe in words how wonderful it was to work with Julie in planning for our perfect wedding cake. Due to long-distance planning, I was quick to jump into a contract with Julie via telephone to ensure she would be available for our date. She was organized, receptive, professional, and most of all, she shared our excitement and had fun with us throughout the creative process. Our tasting at her beautiful shop blew us away! Her cake and buttercream flavors are unique, but mostly, they're absolutely delicious. We decided on chocolate cake, each slice with three buttercream flavors-- peanut butter, espresso, and champagne! We had multiple guests, including our catering coordinator, tell us it was the best wedding cake they'd ever tasted. And we agree! Lastly, I want to stress how wholeheartedly she throws herself into the design you're envisioning for your day. She has the creative eye and the skillful hands to execute your dream cake!
Julie was a sheer delight to work with at our recent wedding on 5/5/17 at The Abbey Resort & Spa in Lake Geneva, WI. From the moment we met her 6 months prior for the cake tasting to the wedding day itself, Julie was always responsive and helpful. I brought a picture of a cake from Pinterest that I loved and Julie made my vision a reality. Let's not forget how incredibly delightful her cakes are to actually eat as well - we chose two flavors of cake and both received wonderful reviews. A huge thanks to Julie for such a positive and lovely experience.
Julie was an absolute delight to work with! My fiance and I fell in love upon meeting her at her adorable studio. She is responsive and organized, and overall a creative and a fun upbeat personality. Our guests RAVED about our vanilla cake with salted caramel and nutella buttercream frosting. The cake was just as beautiful as it was tasty! We wanted a rustic design to match our barn venue and Julie aced it. And did I mention she has a cotton candy cart?! We opted for this as our late night bite and it was a huge hit!! Julie showed up later in the evening to spin fresh cotton candy for our guests. She offers a wide range of flavors from margarita lime to pink champagne to blue raspberry, there was something for everyone. It was such a fun touch and everyone loved it, each time I glanced over there was a huge line waiting for her cotton candy. I would HIGHLY recommend Julie!
We hired Julie to make the cake for our 8/27/16 wedding. I really loved my dress, and asked if she could model the bottom tier of the cake off of the hand made rosettes on the skirt of my dress. They are very detailed and have a unique color. Based on just one or two pictures, she made my cake look exactly like my dress- I couldn't believe it. Literally perfect. It was also absolutely delicious. And to top it off, Julie was great to work with and her shop is ADORABLE.
When it came to finding our wedding cake, I became a total bridezilla. I planned our wedding in Lockport from afar here in Florida and finding a cake was the hardest outstanding task. No one had the care or quality ingredients I was looking for...and I'm not kidding when I say I contacted just about any and every option in Chicagoland! I did numerous tastings at bakeries when I came into town and had no luck.
That all changed when I found Julie Michelle Cakes. I placed the utmost of trust in Julie as I did not have the option to visit her location to do a tasting. After speaking with her, I could tell would bake and create our cake as if it was for her own family event. I knew immediately from her gorgeous creations on her website that she would understand the simple perfection I was looking for. She created the perfect wedding cake with tiers of white rustic buttercream and edible gold foil. We mixed in some fresh florals to add to the simple elegance. The cake was EXACTLY what I had imagined for our wedding -- Julie absolutely nailed the execution. Our cake tasted just as wonderful as it looked too! We had a fresh tasting lemon cake paired with alternating layers of fresh raspberries with buttercream and a champagne buttercream. It was supremely divine!!
The looks, the taste...this is what cake dreams are made of. A wedding cake is such a huge tradition and it was very important to me that this be a showpiece that represented my husband and I. Our memory of cake cutting on the dance floor is one of our favorites. I would do it all over again with Julie Michelle Cakes!! I highly, highly recommend Julie Michelle Cakes. She provides a personal touch that you certainly can't find just anywhere -- and that is priceless.
Julie was absolutely fabulous! Her studio is so cute and her cakes are insanely tasty. This is coming from a girl who doesn't even like cake. I would eat her cake every night if i could! Everyone kept asking what the flavors of the cake were and were dying to know who made the beautiful cake. Julie was so nice and always prompt at responding to requests. We loved her and will continue to use her for any reason we can!
YUM!
Julie Michelle Cakes was our vendor for our wedding on October 11, 2014. My husband and I got married at the Maxwell Mansion in Lake Geneva, WI and were looking for something different to impress our guests. I LOVE desserts and after our tasting, I knew that Julie knew what she was doing! Everything was delicious; the cakes were tasteful and moist and the frostings complimented the cakes so well that it was extremely difficult to narrow down our choices.
For our wedding cake, we decided to go with a brownie cake since I love brownies more than cake. Julie didn't hesitate or question us when we had our odd request and came up with a beautiful, simple brownie cake for us! Our next request didn't shy her away either; a cupcake station for our guests! Desserts can be overlooked at weddings and we wanted to make sure it was a focal point. Julie manned the cupcake station and created desserts made to our guests liking. For example, a guest could choose between a red velvet cupcake, chocolate cupcake or almond cupcake, then choose their frostings or fillings and add some fruit or chocolate shavings to top it off! The best part was that no desserts were wasted! People were invited for seconds (or in some cases, thirds!) since others were also helping themselves to the brownie tower. Our brownie tower consisted of a variety of brownies, which were all gone by the end of the night! WHAT A HIT!
Julie, I can’t thank you enough for creating a memory for all our guests and for baking the most delicious cupcakes for us and our guests! Thank you!
I had Julie Michelle cake at a wedding in Lake Geneva. Julie had a cupcake bar set up. The cake was beautiful, but the best part was how tasty and moist it was.
