We were ASTOUNDED by Sue's cakes from Le Gateau. Not only was our cake stunning in looks, but it was also delicious. Literally every guest commented on how amazing it was. Sue is so sweet and such a hard worker. She will go above and beyond to make sure her cakes are perfect for your wedding. We will be coming to Sue in the future for other occasions. She is just amazing. I cannot recommend her services more highly!

Brides beware - one of the most horrible interactions I've ever had with a vendor. Unfortunately, this vendor has pushed me to the point of writing this review because she will not stop harassing me and messaging me.
This started with a simple inquiry for a 3-4 tier wedding cake with flowers, in between naked cake and regular amount of frosting, and other dessert table options in addition to the cake.
The response I got: "Dear Amy, I create wedding cakes and pastry tables . I make mostly French pastries . I do not make naked cakes for anyone. To spend two hours making Italian meringue buttercream and butter costing over $5.0 a pound plus Grand Marnier or Valrhona white chocolate to flavor the buttercream am I going to ice then scrape it off the cake and throw it out!. If this is what you want then you will need to look for another baker. Best wishes, Sue"
I was genuinely shocked to receive such a message on a simple inquiry. I recommended that she explicitly state her very big feelings about what services she is unwilling to provide so that no future bride has to go through this process of upsetting her so much with a simple inquiry. I let her know that we would absolutely be looking elsewhere, per her advice.
But, Sue has more to say. She responds, "Dear Amy, I do state what I create and don’t create on the very first page of my website outlined in a Redbox so it can’t be missed. I am sorry you didn’t read it . Best regards I am sure you will find someone to make what you want."
At this point, I'm beyond disgusted with her unprofessional attitude. I saw the website. My inquiry stated something in between a naked cake and something simply covered in fondant. That specification is not addressed in her page regarding what items she deems as more appropriate for "picnics and children's parties" and not appropriate for a wedding (feel free to check her site - this is literally what it says). I, once again, explicitly told her - "We are no longer interested in your services. Future replies are no longer necessary, nor welcome."
Still, Sue isn't done. Her last message: "Dear Amy, if you had come to my shop I would have given you the same information plus more. My butter went from $90.00 a case to $178.90 a case. That is why I don’t scrape off my buttercream and throw it out. In the past few months two bakeries in town closed permanently. Leaving brides in the lurch without a cake and a refund. I helped out some of these brides with a cake better quality and design at a lower price. One main reason these and a couple of individual bakers quit lately was costs. So that is why it is stated on my website and why I also tell brides this same information when they come in for a free tasting. It is about educating why and how things are made so you can make an informed decision. Regards, Sue"
I'm early in planning my wedding, but this was the most unprofessional experience I have ever encountered. I am eternally grateful I did not hire this woman.

I can't even begin to describe how special and amazing our cake was! Su is the epitome of an artist. She works in her own way, so let her take the reins and you will be so happy with the end result. Not only was our wedding cake delicious, it was just stunning. Everyone was so impressed!

Sue was wonderful from tasting to delivery. We had heard a lot of positive things before we met Sue and they all lived up to the hype. Our four-tier cake with gum paste trillium flowers had three fantastic flavors which allowed everyone at the wedding to find something they loved. Many of our guests told us they loved having a piece of each! The mango-passionfruit was the standout along side the excellent raspberry chocolate and spice cake. We highly recommend Sue!

The cake was stunning and tasted great too! She only used fresh berries between the layers and utilized my dress to decorate the cake. The lace look on the bottom mirrored my veil perfectly, and then my dress also had a large bow that she put on the top tier. It was so unique for us and our wedding!

Sue was so great to work with! Her cake was beautiful and the best we had had tasted by far. You can tell she is the best at what she does! She was super easy to work with during our multiple postponements, and changes in amount needed for our wedding due to a smaller guest list. Everyone told us how great the cake was at our wedding!

Unprofessional. Never replied to any of our text, calls or emails. When we reached out with our concerns, she never apologized for not ever reaching out. She was so rude and mean to us. Does not respect the customer/business relationship. Her cakes are amazing but never want someone making my cake with such a negative attitude.

We chose Sue as our cake vendor for our wedding that was supposed to take place on 12/31/2020 because she had fair prices and incredible designs! Due to COVID, we had to cancel the big celebration, but decided to get married in our backyard in a small ceremony. Sue was so generous and accommodating and created a "mini" version of our cake that we could share with our family this year on New Year's Eve. The cake was beautiful and most importantly, delicious. We can't wait to see what she creates for us next year when we finally have our big-day!

We hired Sue to design & make our wedding cake - from start to finish our entire experience with her was wonderful. I live out of state and had my sister step in to help with cake tasting and Sue treated her just as if she was the Bride herself which I so appreciated. We have had endless compliments on how beautiful our wedding cake was and we got married back in September! Highly recommend her for any special occasion - she creates beautiful desserts!!

Sue Larson from Le Gateau is the absolute best there is! Her cake flavors and designs are some of the most amazing designs you will ever see. She is reliable and will always work to accommodate whatever big idea anyone may have! All these things are important to consider when selecting a pastry chef HOWEVER, Sue offers so much more!
One of the most important elements on our wedding day was to have a cookie table full of family made cookies and other pastries. This is a strong tradition in my hometown however most venues in Columbus discussed they were not able to accommodate this request. We desperately searched for someone in the Columbus area who would be able to plate and display all our cookies. We did end up finding a vendor that was willing to do this however they wanted to charge over $2,000 (just to plate cookies). Feeling defeated, I knew we had to keep planning so my now husband found Le Gateau as a potential pastry chef for our cake. Upon going to Sue's pastry kitchen, we were blown away with her kind spirit, her amazing cake flavors, and the absolute love of her craft. We immediately knew she was the one to make our cake! We then started to discuss our desire to have a cookie table and how challenging this has been to find anyone willing to help with this. Sue, without any hesitation, said "I'll do it!" And the rest was history! Sue not only displayed an absolutely immaculate cookie table but this table was nearly 40 feet long! It was one of the most beautiful sights we have ever seen and nearly took my breath away. We were so grateful for her support and the support of her colleagues and friends to make this cookie table happen!
Whatever you do, please consider talking with Sue and always recognize she is an expert at her craft and will ensure your wedding cake is one you will never forget!

Sue is 100% the best wedding cake artist you will find. She is timely, engaging, creative and thoughtful!
She made all of my cake dreams come true from taste to tedious detailing on the cake. Let me just reiterate that, her cakes are DELICIOUS!!! I will order all of my cakes from her in the future for holidays/celebrations!
Her work is impeccable and there is no better vendor to represent you on your special day! Take it from me (a recent COVID bride) SHE IS THE BEST!

I do not have enough great things to say about Le Gateau and Sue Larson. My now-husband has a severe nut allergy, so it was very important for us to find a cake/bakery that was nut-free. Le Gateau was one of the only bakeries we found in Columbus that made this accommodation, and not only was Steven able to eat cake on his wedding day, but the cakes themselves were so high quality and beautiful! At our tasting, Sue gave us a number of cake and frosting samples to try, explaining the differences between each. This made me feel well informed and helped us to better decide our preferences. On our wedding day, our cake looked just as we had designed it, and was one of the most delicious desserts I've ever had! Not to mention, Sue herself took the time to drive the cake up to the venue and decorate it with the fresh flowers we ordered. We got so many compliments! I would highly recommend this bakery to everyone, especially those with nut allergies.

Sue Larson of Le Gateau makes the BEST cake I have ever had and it was absolutely beautiful. Everyone kept telling us that you always have a lot of cake left over so make sure you have boxes to take extra home. But this was not the case for us. It was all gone because it was that good! My only regret for our wedding day was that I didn't save a slice for myself. I highly recommend Le Gateau if you are looking for a beautiful tiered wedding cake that also tastes delicious!

Sue did such an amazing job! Our cake was not only absolutely stunning but it was delicious! She truely is an artist. She drew inspiration from my dress and decor so the design tied in beautifully and seamlessly with my vision. We also opted for her to make flowers out of paste that we were able to save as a keepsake in our China cabinet. She is very passionate about her cakes and it shows!! Would 100% recommend her to anyone for any occasion.

Not only did the cake look amazing and was the prefect centerpiece for our wedding, but it tasted absolutely DELICIOUS!!!!! I would absolutely recommend Le Gateau to any couple!

Sue at Le Gateau is absolutely phenomenal at making and designing wedding cakes. She incorporated our style and suggestions into the design and it was more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. She is a true professional who takes pride in her work, understands the importance of quality, and ensures that every last detail is perfect and delicious. I am so thankful that my friend, who hired Sue for her wedding, recommended her business to us.
For our wedding cake, it served 230 people (4 tiers) with Italian buttercream cake with strawberry filling, orange cake with chocolate ganache filling, and chocolate cake with raspberry filling covered in iced buttercream frosting...might I add, all made from SCRATCH. We received so many compliments from our guests about how excellent our cake was!

Sue Larson with Le Gateau was our favorite vendor for the wedding. We have already recommended Sue to all of our friends planning weddings in Ohio and we cannot wait to have her cake again at their weddings!
From the cake tasting experience to our wedding night, we had a great time selecting designs/flavors and eating delicious cake! We have been to a few weddings and have never enjoyed a wedding cake as much as we enjoyed Sue’s. We had a 3 tier round cake with different flavors for each level including Italian cream with fresh raspberry and chocolate with fresh raspberry. Both with wild berry buttercream icing. The flavors were amazing and did not taste ridiculously sweet as we've come to know American cakes to be. Sue was not only able to accommodate our requests but she also provided us with expert advice regarding the design and flavor pairings. In addition, we planned the wedding from out of town, and Sue was able to accommodate our tastings to include one tasting for us (bride & groom) during a short trip into town and later schedule a separate tasting for our parents.
Sue was prompt to respond to any calls and answered all the questions that we had throughout the entire wedding cake selection process. On the day of the wedding, the cake arrived on time and it looked great. The taste was out of this world. The flavors were natural with no artificial tastes. Truly, the fresh raspberries brought everything together. We had many guests come up to us after the wedding to compliment the cake and ask who was the mastermind behind it.
Our caterer did not leave us the anniversary cake (the top tier of the wedding cake) and as soon as Sue heard about this, she immediately offered to give us a small replacement so that we can enjoy cake for our first year anniversary. We are very thankful that Sue was able to be part of our big day and we highly recommend her for all your cake needs!
Thank you Sue!

I found Sue online, after trying a few other vendors and being disappointed in their gluten free offerings (both myself and my mom are gluten free). My husband and I went to a tasting in Sue's kitchen, and were so impressed with her gluten free flavors that we booked on the spot. Sue delivered the cake herself on the day of the wedding and applied some extra fresh flowers to it. It was beautiful and everyone loved it!!

Best Wedding Cake Ever! Sue's cakes are not only incredibly delicious but also so artistically creative. She made a 2 sided cake for our daughter's wedding. One side was very traditional and made to look like her wedding dress. The other side had Chicago landmarks (Sears Tower, The Bean) with a 3D Farris wheel of Navy Pier coming out of the cake! She made 15 to 20 orange lily sugar flowers to place on and around the cake. Then she made an ice cream cake for the grooms cake! I definitely recommend her Red Velvet and Spice cake. We also had Chocolate and Lemon that were amazing. We can't say enough about her and her incredible cake!

When I finally saw the cake on my wedding day I could not believe how well she designed the cake to match the lace on my dress perfectly. And of course the cake tasted amazing, I received so many compliments from my guests. If you want a classy wedding cake, I would definitely recommend le Gateau!

I decided to book Sue to make our cake after our tasting. I was heavily considering another vendor, but when I tasted her cakes and found how reasonable her pricing was, I was sold. She is truly an artist and made the most amazing sugar flowers for our cake, which we saved and plan on displaying they are so beautiful and intricate. Our cake had three different flavors and fillings all for the same fixed price so I felt like there were no hidden fee’s with Sue without the sacrifice of quality. She also was more than accommodating to add in a surprise fondant grooms cake as a surprise for my husband within the last month. Sometimes she can be slow responding through email, so I would suggest calling. She really puts her soul into each cake she makes, I feel very lucky she made mine! Our guests raved at the cake and how delicious it was. Thank you Le Gateau for making my cake as beautiful on the inside as the outside.

Susan is amazing. She used details of my wedding dress in the design of the cake which was all buttercream frosting except for the ribbon of fondant. She has amazing books to look through and her cakes actually taste just as amazing as they look. She provides the top tier of your cake in a box for you to store and she has several cake stands to choose from which are beautiful.

Sue Larson at Le Gateau did a wedding cake and grooms cake for me. Both were spectacular in every way - far exceeding my expectations! Our wedding was at the Columbus Museum of Art, and the room featured a giant glass sculpture by Dale Chihuly, and we wanted matching blown glass pieces on our cake - edible and made of sugar. Our wedding planner recommended Sue - the sugar glass guru - and we are so glad she did! The cake was BEAUTIFUL - a real piece of art! The sugar glass sculptures on the piece were identical to the Chihuly, and nobody could believe they were edible! I was so impressed by the work she did for the Pittsburgh Steelers that I had her do a groomscake representing my husband's favorite sports teams as well. I don't eat much cake, but I do know that fondant tastes nasty... but not Sue's! Her fondant is made of white chocolate and is to die for! We did a chocolate ganashe and fresh raspberry filling on the wedding cake and everyone at the wedding said it was the best cake they had ever tasted. I cannot recommend Le Gateau enough!

Sue Larson of le Gateau made the wedding cake for my 09-14-13 wedding. While we sampled about a half-dozen different bakers either on our own or through bridal shows, we went with Sue. Her cakes were absolutely delicious and her decorating skills stunning. She is also the only person in town who made pulled sugar ribbons and flowers. We went with a flower on our cake that looked like it was made of hand-made glass from a hot-shop.
She was also willing to make a non-traditional, non-tiered wedding cake from a picture I had from a 1952 Louisville Courier Journal article my grandmother had saved for my mother when my mother was 3 years old. My mother never had the cake made and it was something I had seen all of my life. It was the only thing I knew I wanted for my wedding day if I ever married. After being told by other bakers it couldn't be done to the scale I wanted and after much discussion with Sue, Sue made it happen. It was exactly what I wanted in scale. I left the decorating mostly up to her other than asking for the sugar flower in colors used in my wedding party. She decorated the sides in an art-deco pattern from my engagement/wedding ring and she decorated the top to look like the lace on my wedding dress.
Besides being extremely happy with my cake visually, the two cake flavors she made were wonderful. All of my guests talked about how good they were. She made both an orange pound cake with a chocolate ganache filling and a lemon pound cake with fresh raspberry filling. For anyone reading this thinking of a heavy pound cake, these weren't. They were the lightest (not dense and dry) pound cakes I've ever had and were sumptuously rich. The leftovers even tasted good a week afterwards.
While this is not the least expensive cake in town (nor is it the most expensive), I think you would be hard-pressed to find a better cake. There may be many who can decorate a cake but Sue is a superb baker in addition to being an exceptional designer.

The best wedding cake ever!!! If you do not pick Le Gateau for you wedding cake vendor you are not doing yourself or your guests any justice. Our cake was absolutely beautiful and most importantly tasted amazing. Before making your final decision make sure you go and meet with Sue Larson for a consultation and a cake tasting.

We were on the hunt for the best tasting and most beautiful wedding cakes in Columbus, and we found just what we were looking for at Le Gateau! The cakes are absolutely the best cakes I have ever tasted and the designs are completely customized for each bride, not a standard design like some bakeries use. Also she uses fresh strawberries or raspberries in her cakes rather than jam. We are planning to order from Le Gateau anytime we need a cake in the future, no point going anywhere else!

Delicious wedding cake was important to us. We wanted unique flavors and needed a lactose free option for the groom. Every sample we tried from Le Gateau was so yummy it was hard to choose our favorites. Sue created a BEAUTIFUL, one-of-a-kind design incorporating all our favorite features. We also hired her to make macaroons for our hotel room bags. They were better than the ones we ate in Paris! Sue is a true master of her craft and will ensure your cake is perfect!

Sue was amazing to work with for our wedding cake. From the first taste test my husband and I were sold! Her Italian Creme cake is delicious, especially with the different layers she can put in the middle such as chocolate and caramel or raspberry.
She was very willing to work with our movie theme and emailed us several designs and let us pick and choose bits from the ones we liked. The bottom two layers were film reels, the third was just a square that featured a removable keepsake marquee, and the top was Styrofoam with fondant over it to look like a popcorn box. She also had already prepared our anniversary cake and set it aside in a box for us for easy storage!
Everyone raved about the cake and how stunning it was!

We met with our cake person months in advance and also chose the flavors very far in advance as well so to be honest the day of I couldnt remember what they truely tasted like. When I started planning my wedding cake was never top on my list, I had never been to a wedding where I was overly impressed by a piece of cake so I didnt care too much about it. That all changed the minute we had our cake tasting. Even flavors like lemon and orange I typically dont care for tasted SO good to me! The cake was moist and the designs were unbelievable. I also liked that she used buttercream frosting under her fondant and only fondant when she absoltely had to. We actually had 0 cake left at the end of the night, even had the anniversery layer cut up. We had guests who told us they had 3 peices they liked it so much.

My wedding cake was, hands down, one of my very favorite parts of our wedding. Sue was so great to work with, she had lots of wonderful ideas and she is truly a master at what she does! The cake was absolutely wonderful (I've never tasted a better one, and I'm not just saying that) and EVERYONE loved it- it looked gorgeous as well. I would definitely recommend everyone to take a serious look at her stuff- while our cake was very sleek and modern, I've seen some of the more intricate cakes she has done and they really look like artwork. The hardest part for us was choosing our flavors- when we went to her studio for a tasting everything was fabulous! You definitely will not regret using Le Gateau.

The cake and French pastries were delicious and pretty. Our cake is very detailed and Sue's work is very neat and perfect. The only downside was I originally wanted peonies sugar flower, but what we got were roses. Well, it's not a big deal, and the flowers were not specified on the contract as well (which was my oversight). It doesn't really matter, since the cake is still beautiful and delicious, and it receives a lot of compliments!! =).

Since our non-traditional wedding was at the zoo, we wanted a very special cake that went along with the theme and our personalities. Sue Larson was willing to come up with ideas and then execute them just as she had described. She crafted many animals for the cake and carved it into a landscape shape so that it did not even look like a cake anymore, instead it looked like a sculpture. Everyone loved it, especially all the kids there who wanted to eat the edible animals! I would recommend her to anyone looking for something special and unique!
