Jess's work is unbelievable! We were so blown away by her work and how delicious her desserts are! From the cookies, to cupcakes to cake pops to the cake, everything was perfect and beyond delicious! Her work is truly unmatched and our guests are still asking if we have any leftover! I cannot recommend her enough!!
Jess created our dream wedding cake and it was absolutely PERFECT! The cake was not only delicious but so beautiful - it was everything we imagined. Our guests were raving about how delicious the cake was all night! She was a pleasure to work with. 100% highly recommend!
Jess is amazing and did an amazing job with our wedding cake and cupcakes! The cake was dusty blue cream with white pearls, which was elegant, just wowed, and was exactly what I had envisioned! The cupcakes were great too and a really fun, complimentary touch that our guests loved in the same theme. We did a delicious red velvet flavor with buttercream frosting.
We absolutely loved both the cake and the cupcakes, and our guests really enjoyed as we got tons of compliments! Thank you Jess and I'd highly recommend.
Jess made us an amazing wedding cake and was super easy to work with! The theme of our wedding was a whimsical garden and I wanted anything but a plain boring white cake. Jess made us a beautiful colorful pressed flower cake that fit the cheerful and bright vibe of our wedding. It was easy to search through her creations and work with her, she was also super responsive. On top of that everything tasted amazing and we were even eating leftover cake on our mini moon. Jess also delivered to our venue day of which made it stress free and gave us one less thing to worry about. Now that I’ve discovered Jess, I’ve had the chance to go to some of her pop pups and try some of her other treats. Everything she makes tastes as good as it looks! I’ll definitely be back and call her the next time we need a cake!
I had never used Jess before this past weekend. She was a pleasure to work with. Friendly, helpful and assuring that the cake would look and taste great. Well, I cannot say enough about the cake she made for my daughters bridal shower. It was outstanding! Everyone raved about it! Thank you Jess!
Jess created a gorgeous travel themed cake and cookies for my daughter's bridal shower. They not only looked good, but tasted delicious! I can’t say enough about how much they added to the occasion to make it extra special. And Jess was an absolute pleasure to work with from the start. I truly appreciated her kindness, talent, and artistry!
Jess provided a beautiful and delicous cake and cookies for my daughters Bridal Shower. Excellent experience, highly recommend Just Desserts by Jess!
I had the best experience with Jess from Justdesserts! She was so sweet and very professional. She always responded to my emails on time. She designed the wedding cake of my dreams. She did such a beautiful job and the cake tasted great. I 100% suggest choosing Jess for your next event! Also, everyone at my wedding kept complimenting the cake. They all said it was beautiful and just kept saying “wow look at that cake!”.
Jessica was such a pleasure to work with, she was super kind and informative through the process. We found her via Wedding Wire and used her for our April Bridal Shower and July Wedding. Our friends and family were so impressed by her cakes and cookies and cake pops, they have turned to her as well. My family and I have been cannoli cake snobs growing up and by far now she has established making our favorite cannoli cake ever. She does not disappoint. I didn't even get to eat actual food at my wedding but I will say that I gladly was able to enjoy my cake :) Thank you Jessica!!
Jess was so flexible and easy to work with. We picked up our tasting in the fall and chose our cake with cupcakes, which came out beautiful and delicious.
We came across Jess after a referral from a nearby bakery, and after searching for a cake vendor for months to no avail. From the second we met Jess, we knew she was everything we were looking for! Talented, responsive, professional and collaborative - and she makes a beautiful and DELICIOUS cake!! Her flavors and filling go beyond the norm, and we were obsessed with the White Chocolate Raspberry we chose with a buttercream frosting. I also loved a few other flavors like the birthday cake, but the White Choc Raspberry was a clear winner and also a hit with the guests. We'd 100% work with Jess again and are so glad we found her!
I used Jess for my sons Baptism and she was so easy and great to work with. She responded to her emails so quickly and made sure we were on the exact same page for the cake design. The cake and cookies were absolutely beautiful and SO DELICIOUS. The cookies were soft and delicious and the cake was so good. Everyone was talking about it. I highly recommend Just Desserts By Jess for any of your special occasions. You won’t regret it!
Just Desserts came recommended by the event manager at my baby shower venue (Townhouse Greenwich). Jess was easy to book, coordinate with, and had fair pricing. She delivered a beautiful two-tier travel theme cake based on an inspiration photo I provided her from pinterest. She also provided red velvet cupcakes, and gorgeous white and gold macaroons. Though everything was delicious, my guests particularly raved about the cake (flavor white chocolate raspberry) and how light and flavorful it was! Just Desserts by Jess will definitely be our preferred bakery for future events that call for cake or yummy desserts. My only complaint is that I don’t live close enough to the bakery to take advantage of her pop up sales!
Jess’s 50th birthday cupcake tower and cake topper was beautiful AND delicious! She was a pleasure to work with from start to finish and made the process easy and stress free. Thank you for helping make my milestone birthday party a success!
I had the most pleasant experience working with Jess and would highly recommend her! She was extremely professional, responsive, and accommodating. I shared a few pictures of our vision for the cake and overall theme and she shared her ideas and kept working with me until we got everything to the perfect place. When I saw the cake I actually teared up - I couldn't believe how perfectly she brought our vision to life! On top of the design and execution, everyone raved about the taste of everything. I would highly recommend Jess and can't wait to use her again.
My review is not only on behalf of myself, but to all of my baby shower guests who could not stop raving about my dessert table. Jess made a beautiful polar bear cake (I chose vanilla with nutella buttercream filling) with matching cake pops and cookies. All of the desserts tasted even better than how they looked. Everyone at my party kept asking me "How can a cake that looks so amazing taste so perfect too??" It is true, the cake was fresh, moist and so tasty. Jess even had her team come to my party venue and set up the dessert table which was worth the very little extra cost to not have to worry about smushing/ruining anything en route to your venue.
I can't wait to use Just Desserts by Jess for future parties.
Just Dessert by Jess provided our cake for our wedding on 10/7/22 and it was not only beautiful but also SO delicious. We got so many compliments on it. She was lovely to deal with and made everything easy. The tasting was easy to set up as well- so many flavors and designs to choose fun. We’re so happy we went with this bakery!
Jess delivered some of the most amazing cupcakes we and our guests have ever had! The sweets were fantastic, and she helped find a design that matched the overall aesthetic of the wedding flawlessly.
Jess was absolutely amazing from start to finish. When I first contacted her, she just made me feel comfortable right away. Planning an event can be stressful - but Jess made it simple and one less thing to worry about. The dessert table she created and the cake were truly works of art. She came and set it all up and everything was just beautiful! And EVERY single bite of cake, cookies, cupcakes, cake pops, chocolate dipped pretzels was DELICIOUS! She made our wedding so elegant and couldn't have been more helpful! I highly recommend Just Desserts for your event. You WILL NOT be disappointed.
Jess was so wonderful to work with!! She was quick with her responses and provided great communication. The cake was absolutely delicious! We had chocolate with raspberry filling and it was outstanding! The cake looked stunning! When I walked into the venue and saw it I was blown away. I would highly recommend her!! Thanks for everything Jess!
Jess was a pleasure to work with & she made the most beautiful divine tiered wedding cake for my son's wedding. The cascading sunflowers were truly gorgeous! The cake (classic party cake & lemon raspberry) was moist & delicious & our guests all raved about it!! The cake honestly blew me away!
Definitely a 5 star level of service! From the initial conversation all the way through to delivery. The cake was DELICIOUS! Guests wanted 2nds. Would definitely recommend!
Jess was very professional. She delivered the cake on time and it was delicious! Our guests loved it and so did we. From the cake testing, we knew that we chose the right baker. Thank you so much Jess. Looking forward to ordering again.
I used Jess for my sister’s lemon themed bridal shower and was beyond impressed. From start to finish, Jess made the whole process so easy (especially during a time when you’re planning
for a ton of different things). She responded to all of my questions so quickly. She went above and beyond to make everything nice. At the party, I got tons of compliments not only about the look of the desserts, but also the taste. I highly recommend Jess and will be using her again in the future !
Jess was extremely communicative, professional and the desserts were a huge hit! Everything was delicious.
Jess made cake pops, cookies etc for my daughter's bridal shower. Not only were they beautiful but everyone raved about how good everything tasted! I then asked Jess to make her wedding cake and it was absolute art. My daughter chose the rustic style with raspberry filling and Jess decorated it with fresh white roses! It was stunning and delicious...so many guests commented on how it looked and tasted. Jess also provided delivery service which made my life a little bit easier during the always busy wedding week. Just Desserts was just awesome!
Jess was so easy to work and communicate with. Our cake was beautiful and tasted delicious! We got so many compliments!
I was introduced to Jess through my venue...and wow, how lucky was I! Besides being a skilled baker and decorater, Jess is also so incredibly easy to work with. She was timely, communicated regulary, and I didn't have to worry about a thing! She made the cake exactly as we envisioned and it was so delicious! Work with her, you won't regret it!
Working with Jess was an absolutely wonderful experience. Not only was our wedding cake STUNNING, it was DELICIOUS!! Every flavor was so yummy when we were taste testing that we decided we had to have two different flavor cakes because we couldn’t choose which was better. The chocolate ganache was beyond perfection, and Jess matched our design vision perfectly. We cannot thank her enough for adding to our perfect day!!
First f the dessert were amazing. Jess was very easy to work with and very accommodating. I had several people request her information from me after my event.
The cake I requested received so many compliments, it ws not only simply beautiful it was delicious.
Jess was wonderful to work with. Her cakes are absolutely delicious. She made a beautiful cake for my daughter’s Sweet 17 after her party got canceled twice due to COVID. We finally had the party and Jess really impressed us. I highly recommend her.
Jess did all the desserts & cakes for my baby shower and it was amazing! She is so talented and every guest was amazed and asked for her details! Not only did everything look stunning but it tasted even better! Its so easy to work with her and she really takes your visions / ideas and makes them into reality (or even better)! It was the best baby shower I could’ve ever imagined. I cannot wait to use Jess again for future events (until then I’ll be dreaming about that cake!)
We got my daughter’s Sweet 16 (actually 17) cake from Jessica. Due to COVID, we had to change our date twice. Jessica was very accommodating to the date changes. The cake looked amazing. It was everything we had discussed and tasted delicious also !!
We are so happy with our wedding cake experience with Just Desserts by Jess! Jessica is kind and responsive, flexible and talented. The chocolate ganache and lemon raspberry were unbelievable together. She offered a delicious cake tasting and designed the cake exactly as we asked for it. It was reasonably priced and exceptionally done! We are so grateful!
I was looking for a local bakery for my wedding cake and I'm so glad I found this place. I browsed through their online gallery and found a cake design that I loved. The final product was just gorgeous and the cake itself tasted amazing! Jess was truly amazing and sweet every step of the way.
Beautiful and delicious desserts! I purchased a cake, cake pops and cookies for my daughters pink and gray elephant themed baby shower and they were a huge hit with all my guests. I will definitely order from Jess again for upcoming events.
Jess is one of the sweetest people I have met and a pleasure to work with. Her cakes, cupcakes, cakes pops, cookies, macaroons and pretzels are absolute perfection, fresh and simply delicious! Thank you so much for your beautiful creation! It was a real work of art! Everybody loved it and gave me tons of compliments to give them to you. My daughters Baptism dessert table was perfectly beautiful! Thank you so much! I am so glad to have met Jess and looking forward to planning another event with you!
Jess is the absolute BEST! I have worked with Jess on several occasions, but most recently for my Tiffany themed bridal shower dessert table. I found several pictures of the design I was interested in for several desserts including cupcakes, cakepops, macaroons, chocolate covered pretzels and wedding dress sugar cookies. Jess created exactly what I imagine and better! I am very picky and detail oriented and Jess is the best person to work with. She answered all my emails very quickly and kept track of all my special detail requests that I thought of up until the day of the event. She even delivered everything and was so prompt. Not only were her desserts beautiful, but absolutely delicious. I can't wait to work with her in the future for all my future events!
Jessica responded quickly to my email and was easy to talk to. She was able to design what I was looking for. The cake filling was so delicious! I highly recommend her :)
The cakes were beautiful and delicious.
They were just perfect. They were gorgeous on the outside and just as
pretty inside. Everyone was impressed.
Ordering and pick up were easy. I highly recommend this business.
Jess made the most delicious cake, cupcakes, cookies, and pretzels for my daughter’s birthday! Not only did she amaze me with her decorating skills, the taste of these treats were phenomenal! I will be returning very soon for my mother’s birthday and every other occasion! Jess is awesome to work with! Thank you Jess!
Jess was wonderful to work with and we can't recommend her enough! The cake and cookies she made for us were both beautiful and delicious.
Jess would deserve more stars if that were possible. I never leave reviews but there is not a better pastry chef that I have ever tasted, so this had to be written. It doesn't end there though because when it comes to desserts, I think they should look beautiful too and you only need to check out her website to see the gorgeous creations she has made and such variety: Jess can do it all.
Jess is professional, courteous and so very talented. There are two downsides though; Jess is so popular that she books fast, so don't diddle-daddle or your date will be booked by someone else! Also, once you've had one of Jess' desserts, it's very hard to enjoy anyone else's. They are THAT good!
If you want perfection - and who doesn't - then look no further. Just Desserts by Jess is the answer to your dreams. Jess is a true artist. Not only are her cakes absolutely delicious, her decorating is top notch. She is a true master - there is nothing she can't do. All of the decorations are perfect - her skill in crafting flowers, intricate lace, air brushing, etc. is absolutely incredible. She is a joy to work with. She will always be my "go to person" should I ever need another special occasion cake. Buy your cake from Jess and you won't be disappointed.
Jess made a wonderful birthday cake for me. It was absolutely off the charts. Friends and family were raving over it. I recommend her highly!
Jess made our cake for our rehearsal dinner and it came out delicious and perfect! We received so many compliments on the creativeness behind the cake and the fondant and inside fillings were so yummy! Will be using Jess again for our party needs!
Jess is amazing. Her cakes and cookies are a work of art! She made an incredible safari themed cake and matching cookies that we used as favors for our daughter-in-laws baby shower. She is also very easy to contact with questions. I highly recommend Just Desserts!
Jess worked closely with me for over a year in order to create the perfect looking cake for my son’s Bar Mitzvah theme. Jess was brilliant in capturing the theme of his event in the cake she perfectly designed. She perfectly executed ideas I had and listened closely in order to design the perfect looking and tasting cake!!
Amazing!!!
We used Jess for my sisters wedding and all I could remember was just how good the cake tasted. We went back to her for my own wedding and Jess went above and beyond.
We got married at the Bronx Zoo and Jess put together a safari/animal print cake and found amazing cake toppers (that were featured in the NY Times!). The cake was DEEELLICIOUS. Jess was timely, helpful and very pleasant to work with.
I highly recommend for excellent, beautifully decorated wedding cake.
Another absolutely fabulous cake created by Jess...this time for my twin daughters 1st bday party. Jess is not only professional and easy to work with but her cakes are works of art! I wish I could go back and get married again so she could make my wedding cake! Not only are the cakes stunning but they taste amazing too. I always get so many compliments when people eat her creations. Her website has a whole gallery of pictures...I always look there to get ideas and then work with her to personalize the cake to exactly what I am looking for. I can’t wait to throw my next party just to get another cake from Jess!
Jess did a phenomenal job creating my wedding cake this past fall. She has amazing photos on her Instagram page and website for inspiration, which helped my husband and I narrow down what style we wanted. When I went in for the tasting, she helped me to think through more of the details on the size and look of the cake. The final product was stunning - beautiful and absolutely delicious! I can't recommend Just Desserts by Jess enough.
Jess made an absolutely GORGEOUS 2-tiered Unicorn cake for our daughter's 1st birthday. Not only was the cake delicious (highly recommend the chocolate cake/chocolate ganache and fresh raspberries), but the cake was equally beautiful. it was the talk of the party!
Jess was easy to reach and very collaborative throughout the process. I sent her a few pics for inspiration and she made a few suggestions, which were spot on with what we were looking for. She even created an adorable smash cupcake for my daughter (which she devoured in minutes). Overall, she really brought our vision to life!
When it came to delivery and payment, the process was seamless. She brought the cake right to our venue on time, which made our lives a lot easier. We would absolutely go to Just Desserts by Jess again and highly recommend her.
There was nothing but comments left and right about how good all the desserts were. Not to mention they were absolutely gorgeous. Everyone loved EVERYTHING... literally the talk of the shower! I had to explain where and how I found Jess because everyone needed to have her info. I can’t wait to use her again !!!!
I've been using Just Desserts by Jess for years for several occasions including my engagement party, bridal shower, rehearsal dinner and birthdays, so when I was planning my wedding, I knew Jess would make my wedding cake. My husband and I, along with all of our friends and family, were blown away by not only the design of the cake, but the quality and flavors of the cake. They are still talking about it! Jess is always extremely professional, reliable and very easy to work with. She listens to your ideas and helps by suggesting ways to make your vision a reality. Her attention to detail and love for what she does really shows in each cake she makes. I would highly recommend Just Desserts by Jess for your wedding, or any occasion and I will definitely be going to her for all our events in the future.
I just LOVED working with Jess for my daughter's baptism cake. Not only was Jess's work stunning, and cake DELICIOUS, the planning leading up to the big day was effortless. Even when I changed the flavors the week of the party, Jess handled everything perfectly and with ease. While I was planning multiple ideas for my event, it was so nice knowing that I didn't need to worry one bit about the cake being done perfectly, on time, and delivered seamlessly to my venue. Thank you, Jess! Looking forward to working with you (and enjoying your delicious cakes) again in the future!
We worked with Jess for our Baby Shower and wow, did she knock it out of the park! From the moment we started corresponding, I knew she would do a fantastic job and her work did not disappoint. I had a very specific vision and after sending her a few photos/ideas of what I was looking for, Jess took it from there and created the most gorgeous and perfectly on theme cake, cupcakes, cake pops and macarons for our beautiful dessert display. Our guests could not stop raving about how amazing AND delicious every single thing was! It made for a picture perfect and memorable day. Can't wait to work with Just Desserts again for our next big event :)
I highly recommend Jess for your cake and cookie needs. She has been extremely attentive to detail and turned our vision into reality. No creative creation is too far fetched for her skilled hands. The cake was so light and flavorful, truly the hit of the party!
Can't recommend Jess highly enough. I haven't even had my wedding cake yet but she's already been a pleasure to work with. Went for the cake tasting and I wanted to order a cake to take home on the spot. Her cakes are delicious and moist and reasonably priced for the quality. She responds quickly to emails, which is important to me during this hectic wedding planning time. HIGHLY recommend Jess and her delicious cakes!!
If you are looking for a cake for your special occasion ~ Just Desserts by Jess is it!
She made a cake for a Confirmation Party and it was absolutely beautiful and tasted delicious too.
Jess was truly concerned that the cake was exactly what I envisioned. She replied quickly to my call/emails.
I HIGHLY recommend her for YOUR special occasion.
I can’t say enough good things about Jess and her desserts. She is so sweet, reliable and quick to respond. She did put cake and cupcakes exactly how we wanted it and they were delicious to boot. She is my new go to when I need a cake or dessert.
Jess is truly a gem and she runs a lovely business. She is responsive, accommodating, talented and extremely pleasant to deal with. Just Desserts by Jess is a must for anyone looking for unique baked goods for a bridal shower. She made beautiful, delicious and moist cupcakes for my daughter's shower last Saturday. Her cupcakes, alone, were a win. However, it was her bride cookies, each decorated in a different whimsical wedding dress, that literally created a buzz. Not only beautiful, fun and fresh, their flavor was amazing! The cookies were part of a large dessert table and they were gone in no time. I regret not ordering more. So word to the wise, order more of these than you might otherwise think necessary. They go--quickly!! Jess's creative dessert additions really helped contribute to making my daughter's shower a special one. We are also using Jess for the wedding cake and we are confident it will be brilliant!
Jess was amazing!! Jess created this incredible cupcake tower for us, which not only was extremely delicious but also very, very beautiful. The cupcake tower was basically our photo booth, because every guest wanted a picture next to it. Jess was also very responsive to email and a pleasure to work with.
What a cake! Jess created an Abby Cadabby masterpiece for my daughter's 2nd bday party and it was a hit! Not just a gorgeous cake but absolutely delicious.
In addition, Jess was so easy to work with...a true professional! This is the second event I've had her make the cake and I will continue to use her for all future parties! Amazing!
There are no words to say how amazing Jess was throughout the proces! From beginning to the end, she was attentive, professional and super super nice! The easiest and most delicious part of the entire wedding process was the cake thanks to Jess! I will use Just Desserts by Jess for all our sweets needs!
Just Desserts by Jess did a fantastic job in executing a gorgeous Bridal Shower Dress CupCAKE. Not only did it have bling, but the pretty fuschia sash tied perfectly into our theme. Finally, great taste! It was so moist & Jess nailed the cream cheese frosting. Highly recommend.
Jess made a beautiful and delicious Bridal Shower cake. It was a pleasure to work with her to find the perfect cake style for the event. She found the perfect image and executed it beautifully. We had a funfetti cake (the bride's favorite) and it was delicious! Highly recommend working with Jess.
We knew that for our wedding we wanted a DELICIOUS wedding cake. Taste was key. Jess made us the most delicious wedding cake - everyone was raving about it. It tasted better than any wedding cake I've ever had (vanilla ganache with buttercream icing). She is truly talented at decorating and did a great job on our simple cake design. She was so easy to work with and we appreciated being able to sample a slightly different combination. We even decided to have some of the top of our cake before we left for out honeymoon because we just had to have more. Thanks, Jess !
Five Starts isn't enough!!!!!!!!
Jess is an incredible person to work with. The cake and cake pops she created for us were not only absolutely stunning, but delicious beyond belief. I am so glad I found Jess to sweeten my anniversary party!! Jess runs a very impressive business and creates beautiful memories. Everyone raved about how stunning the cake was. It was way too pretty to cut, but boy were we glad it was cut! DELICIOUS!!! Jess is an absolute artist! The cake pops were a huge hit. I cannot tell you how many adults absolutely raved about them and the kids were thrilled to have a dessert that was special for them.
From start to finish you Jess was a joy and her desserts are beyond delicious!!
We can't thank you enough for our CAKES!! For everyone to know, we had both a specialty cake and a custom FRIENDS cake based on the show. The Friends cake was a HUGE hit and everyone kept commenting on how good the cupcakes were!! Everyone was amazed at how unique and exact our Friends cake was. We had some leftover and some of my friends I go to school with were pumped to have more!
So, thank you thank you thank you for helping make our wedding one of a kind! You are AMAZING! :)
Jess and Matt Tamucci
Jessica was wonderful to work with. She was extremely responsive to emails and phone calls. She provided a cake that was beautiful on the outside and delicious on the inside. We loved our cake so much that we are using Jessica for an upcoming Baby shower. I would highly recommend her for any occasion. She is professional and she is an incredible baker too!
I never thought it would be so challenging to find a wedding baker to make mini pies, yummy shooters and to die for cake pops along with my cake. But it was!
That is, until I found Jess.
This girl CRUSHED IT! Not only is she just the sweetest most lovely young woman. But she delivered every last bit of my dream desserts. And everything was beyond DELICIOUS! The presentation was gorgeous. My naked pumpkin wedding cake was perfect.
GET THE BANANA CREAM SHOOTERS. They will change your life.
I didn't know I loved cake pops until I tried Jess's. They will blow your mind.
We can't wait till my sisters wedding next year to hire Jess again. She nailed it!
Just Desserts by Jess was the best vendor we used for our wedding. Jess is so personable and she really listens and interprets what you want into a beautiful masterpiece. Not only was the cake perfectly detailed it was delicious! We got two flavors for our cake: chocolate ganache and red velvet and both were fantastic!
She really knows how to make the bride feel calm and knows how to take a vision and make it a reality. The cake was better than I could ever have imagined. I have a very strong sweet tooth and she nailed it! I will definitely use Just Desserts by Jess for other other functions I have!
The cake Jess did for my daughter's wedding was absolutely gorgeous. It was beautiful and delicious. The wedding guests are still talking about the cake. Jess listened to everything the bride wanted and incorporated it in her design of the cake. The whole experience was great. I would highly recommend Just Desserts by Jess for any function. She is very creative and a pleasure to work with.
We used Just Desserts by Jess for my daughters bridal shower and a friend who is a Culinary Institute of America (CIA) trained pastry chef told me it was the best cupcake she ever ate. Hearing this I knew we had made the right decision to turn down the complimentary cake from the reception venue and use Just Desserts for my daughters wedding as well. Not only was Jessica easy to work with to create a unique cake for the wedding, but it was absolutely delicious. The cake was light, extremely moist and melted in your mouth. It was a chocolate cake with a fresh raspberry and granache filling. One would expect it to be too sweet, but instead it was just the opposite, rich without the ultra sweet taste. Thanks so much to Jessica Minisci for serving up such a delicious cake :-).
My daughter got married on August 16, 2014. Just Desserts by Jess was recommended by a friend. I can't say enough good things about this bakery! Jess made an amazing wedding cake, both in looks and taste! Her other samples were delicious also, but the bride and groom decided on the cannoli cake, and it was out of this world! People are still talking about it! Jess was prompt in returning my calls/emails, the wedding cake was delivered early to the catering hall, and Jess was such a pleasure to work with. I give Just Desserts my highest recommendation!
I was referred to Jess while I was on a hunt to find a bakery that could create a cupcake tower instead of having a traditional wedding cake. I was so lucky for that referral because I don't think I ever would have found her otherwise! Just Desserts does not have a storefront at the moment, but with all the yummy goodness that is created by owner & baker extraordinaire, Jessica Minisci, that is sure to change soon! Her website has a ton of pics of her previous creations and they are spectacular.
We sampled cupcakes from 3 or 4 other bakeries and none of them came close to these. Not only in taste, but also presentation. Other cupcakes we tried looked sloppy, did not taste great (despite having hundreds of flavor options) and their towers looked like they could fall apart at any moment (if they even offered them at all).
I contacted Jess and she was nice enough to drop off cupcakes to sample in the flavors of my choice. She was so helpful, flexible and accommodating throughout the entire decision making process and very responsive to all my millions of questions. She talked me out of purchasing a large expensive cupcake stand on Etsy and, instead, had 2 extra tiers added onto her existing tower so it would fit 200 cupcakes (at no extra charge)! She even made little chalkboard signs that sat on the tiers so guests knew what all the flavors were.
The tower looked ADORABLE when it was all set up! We could not get over it when we walked into the room and saw it...it looked so grand and was everything we hoped for and more! She made a small cake covered in white fondant (strawberry shortcake) to sit on the top tier so we could do the traditional cake cutting and then staggered the 4 cupcake flavors below - Nutella, Pumpkin Cheesecake, Vanilla Salted Caramel & Almond Coconut. They were delicious and our guests loved that they could just grab one off the display in between dancing.
The price was reasonable too and included delivery, set up, 200 cupcakes & the small cake. Other bakeries wanted to charge $7-$12 PER SLICE for a traditional cake. The cupcakes were around $3 each.
I highly recommend Desserts by Jess!!
