Our wedding cake was absolutely beautiful! We came to Renata with a picture showing our inspiration for the design we wanted. Renata was very helpful and professional throughout the process helping us turn that picture into the cake of our dre...

We absolutely loved our cake from Lovely Cakes! It was delicious and our tasting experience with Renata was excellent. She used flavors I requested to also suggest pairings that work well that I didn't pick -- at least one of was our final choi...

Renata and her team truly delivered for our wedding. We had a range of customization options for our cake, and the tasting process was so delicious we can't even put it into words. Every combination of flavors was out of this world, and it assu...
red us we couldn't go wrong. We had confidence throughout the process that ours would be one of the tastiest wedding cakes our guests had ever had – and that's exactly what happened. It was truly perfect.
Beyond the taste, the cake looked absolutely gorgeous. It was elegant and sophisticated, making for excellent photographs and commanding an impressive presence in the room. We couldn't be happier to have met and worked with Renata, and we know you'll be happy to work with her, too.
Our cake looked amazing and tasted even better! The entire process was easy and couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
Renata and Lovely Cakes have 5 stars for a reason! Not only are her cakes absolutely one of the most delicious things I've ever tasted (and our guests raved), but her work is also absolutely beautiful! I can't wait to eat our top tier next year...

Lovely Cakes is everything you want in a vendor - quick to respond, unbelievably accommodating, affordably priced, and (most importantly) EXCELLENT quality! I was very late in getting my cake squared away, and they could not have been better wi...
th communication and dealing with my annoying requests - I had only a vague concept of what I wanted the design to be, which was a combination of a few cakes that I had seen, but I was also incredibly picky (every vendor's dream bridal client obviously! ;D ) and they were so wonderful and efficient and the cake they delivered was gorgeous and absolutely perfect! Oh and most importantly...it was delicious!!! I'm pissed I didn't get to eat more of it, but so excited that I have the top tier in my freezer! :)
Most beautiful and delicious cake! We enjoyed being able to pick our favorite flavors and the look of the cake! Everyone in our wedding wanted a second piece of cake so… definitely recommended 🤗

Cake was beautiful! Exactly as we talked about and tasted fabulous!
Renata was so wonderful to work with! She helped us make our cake simple, beautiful, and delicious! Our guests loved the cake!
When I say everyone, I mean EVERYONE was obsessed with our wedding cake! Renata and her team made a gorgeous 3-tier cake with a simple design and a fondant model of our dog eating a bite of cake at the bottom. I cannot tell you how many guests ...

Our cake was beautiful! Guests kept asking if it was real because it was so perfect. Renata's communication was excellent, and she was very helpful with designing the cake. Delivery was great, and the cake itself was delicious.
Delicious and beautiful cake, excellent service and such an overall wonderful experience with Lovely Cakes! Our guests raved about our cake and it was just what we wanted. Thank you Renata for helping to make our day so special.
Stunning is an understatement for our wedding cake. We could not have been happier with our gorgeous and delicious cake, and we're so sad we have to wait a year to eat the top! Lovely Cakes was a pleasure to work with, our tasting was so much f...
un, easily the best part of our wedding planning process. Not only was the cake delicious, but Rene sat with us and really helped us plan out exactly what we were looking for. Also, the delivery of the cake was seamless, and the girl (unfortunately I didn't catch her name) who was helping to put the flowers on the cake at the venue was truly lovely! Will absolutely be using Lovely Cakes in the future for any occasion I can think of!
I was very disappointed with Lovely Cakes. She was recommended to me and I wish I had gone with a different vendor. She doesn’t offer tastings unless you are serving 80 or more. Charged extra money per cupcake for fancier icing on top. No confi...
rmation call or touching base before wedding and no confirmation or thank you upon receipt of full payment. Every other vendor touched base within two weeks of wedding to confirm details, thank us for giving them business, and to wish us a happy wedding day.
The worst was when I arrived at the venue, the cupcakes, Anniversary cake and stand had been delivered to a different venue at the same beach. Upon delivery to the wrong (empty) venue, no call was made to inquire out to confirm delivery. I was told that the deliverer refused to bring to the right venue a ten minute walk or 30 seconds drive away. So my father, who is in his 70’s, along with my sister, had to move the entire cake stand on foot across the beach, and the Anniversary cake fell on my father’s face. I was SO ANGRY to hear about this terrible service. A miscommunication must have occurred but any other vendor would have happily brought the cupcakes to the correct venue, I can’t even believe that they didn’t correct the situation and that the father of the bride dressed for the occasion was carrying a 30 on cake stand in excessive heat across a beach because the vendor wouldn’t do it. Unbelievable…what’s more the cupcakes were nothing special. Very small: 1” high cake, 1/2” of frosting on top…$4 each. I could have done the icing, did not look like pictures and was not the flavor I ordered, or if it was it did not taste like it. Honestly, Whole Foods has better cupcakes re: flavor, design, size and price point.
The only positive is that the watercolor buttercream Anniversary cake was exactly what I wanted, it was lovely. Did not make you for the mediocre cupcakes and terrible service.
Response from the Vendor on 07/19/2021
I am extremely sorry that you were disappointed with our services. But I also have to point out that what happened is not exactly what you have described.
Let me go over each of your points:
-We do have a policy of only offering tasting for ca...
kes over a certain size. We are not able to dedicate the time and effort that goes into a tasting appointment for all the cakes we make. If that was a deal breaker for you I wish you had looked for a vendor that could have provided you with a tasting appointment regardless of the size of your order.
-The price for cupcakes that have more time consuming piping is of course higher than a basic cupcake piping. This is the norm in any cake business.
- I understand that other vendors may have contacted you before the event, especially vendors that will remain for the duration of the event. In our case all the details of your cake are determined when you place the order and from that point on there are no other details that would require us reaching out to you.
- The cupcake tower was unfortunately delivered to the wrong pavilion. In 16 years we have never delivered an order to the wrong place and I am sorry that this happened. Perhaps this could have been avoided if you had included the name on the pavilion when you filled the order form instead of just entering the general address for the beach entrance.
But mostly importantly the delivery person called you twice and there was no response. (I will forward you a screenshot of her phone to show the calls made).
We were NEVER contacted to go move the cupcake tower which we would have obviously done. There is no message on our studio answering machine or to the cell phone listed on the machine greeting for emergency contact.
-The cake flavor was not wrong. You asked for red velvet and that is what you got. It's listed on our menu that our red velvet is not bright red but a maroon color instead since we don't add artificial food coloring to our cakes. Maybe the color made you think that you got the wrong flavor.
Many people have told us that our cakes are the best that they have ever had, but that of course is a matter of taste. We know that it is not possible to expect the same level of satisfaction from everyone.
We are in this business to make people happy, and I truly hope that you had a great wedding day regardless of your disappointment with us.
Thank you,
Renata Papadopoulos
Lovely Cakes Owner
Renata is excellent at what she does. If you're looking for a cake vendor who is organized, detail-oriented, and artistic, look no further. We went to our cake tasting without a clear vision of what we wanted our wedding cake to look like and R...
enata helped us select the right-size cake for our wedding, an elegant design, and an assortment of desserts for a full dessert table. Our guests loved the cake (and cupcakes)! I will definitely use Lovely Cakes in the future for special occasions.
Let me start off by saying that my husband and I are not cake people. We almost wanted to do an alternative but we are so glad we were told about Lovely Cakes. Our wedding cake is the best cake we have ever tried! I dreamt about their signature...

Our wedding cupcakes were delicious! We are still hearing guests talking about them. Our only wish is that we ordered more for everyone! Highly recommend Lovely Cakes.
We absolutely LOVED our wedding cake from Lovely Cakes! We had a small intimate backyard wedding in August 2020, and about a month before, I contacted Renata about making a cake for us. I looked through pictures of previous cakes on her website...
, and sent her a picture of one that we loved the look of, with a few adjustments for us. It was delivered promptly the day of the wedding, and looked amazing, just like the picture. And it tasted delicious too! We ended up getting the white spice cake with both the cinnamon buttercream & their signature salted caramel buttercream filling - and it was all absolutely amazing, and everyone loved it. Would highly recommend Lovely Cakes to all!

Lovely Cakes is a must must must for your wedding cake. Renata is the absolute best and made the process of selecting our wedding cake easy and stress free. At our tasting, we couldn’t decide on which cake and flavors (that’s because everything...

Lovely Cakes and Renata...thank you for a great experience! We couldn’t have been happier with our cake, your professionalism, your timely responses and your attention to detail!
Renata did a great job on our wedding cake. Several of our guests commented that this was the best wedding cake they had had in recent memory. My husband doesn't really enjoy cake, but he ate all of his and most of mine! The whole process from ...

Renata & the whole Lovely Cakes team is a dream to work with. As an event planner myself, I met Renata about 8 years ago. Since the day I met her, I knew I wanted her to make my wedding cake. The cake was FANTASTIC. Many brides & grooms ta...
ke one or two bites of there cake. Not us, we both ate every last bite. The most exciting thing was the leftover cake the next day. Her artistic skills are truly incredible. I gave her a picture of my invitation and she created a design that was cohesive to the overall look. You are making the right decision hiring them!
Lovely Cakes did an amazing job with my daughter's wedding cake! Renata was a pleasure to work with. She is very knowledgeable and shared helpful ideas when my daughter was deciding on cake flavors. The cake was absolutely beautiful and tasted ...

Renata and Lovely Cakes was a pleasure to work with! My husband and I loved our wedding cake. I do not typically like cake (particularly the icing because typically I find it too sweet), but when my husband and I went for our tasting we absolu...
tely loved everything. We had a hard time picking which we liked the best, but finally decided on a vanilla cake, with strawberry buttercream and strawberry preserves on the inside, and white buttercream on the outside. They arranged our flowers on the cake perfectly, and it was our dream wedding cake come true. Our families and guests are still talking about how it was the best wedding cake they have ever tasted. I would highly recommend Renata and Lovely Cakes!
Renata helped my vision become a reality in making us the most beautiful wedding cake. She also accommodated our request for a funfetti cake. The crowd (and us) loved it!

Not only did she make the wedding cake but the very next day we had her unbelievable champagne bottle birthday cake for my mother that people actually thought was a champagne bottle in a bucket of ice. We will definitely use Lovely Cakes again! Thank you Renata!
We loved working with Renata and Lovely Cakes! She was able to make our vision of a simpler white cake with gold accents and cascading flowers come alive. Lovely Cakes has so many delicious options of fillings and we were happily surprised that...

Renata and Lovely Cakes were fantastic to work with. Even going to her tasting was a lovely experience, felt like we were having high tea. She flavors were amazing and she has lots of options to choose from. She even worked with us on a unique ...
cake topper. She knew all our vendors, which made it easy for us and our florist when it came to adding flowers to the cake. The big day came and the cake looked fantastic and tasted even better! My family is very into food and they were raving about it. We had some left over but they were gone very fast! I can not wait for our anniversary so we can eat the top tier. Renata is awesome and so are her cakes!!
Renata made an amazing cake for our wedding. Not only was it beautiful but delicious......thank you so much!
I can't tell you how pleased we were with our wedding cake. Renata was very thorough and professional and was a dream to work with. Most importantly, the whole process was so quick and easy, plus our cake was absolutely beautiful and our guests...
raved about it.
Our wedding cake was absolutely gorgeous and delicious. Highly recommend Lovely Cakes! Amazing cakes and extremely reasonable pricing. Also our cake was delivered on time and in perfect condition to NYC for our wedding.
If you are looking for someone who can take a scribble from a piece of paper and magically make it come to life, than Renata Papadopoulos, owner of Lovely Cakes is the go-to person.
The whole experience of cake tasting (she makes all her cakes ...
from scratch and does not use any food dyes or commercial preservatives), taking my idea from paper to executing it into cake was truly magical for me. In fact the wedding cake was in the spotlight just as much as the Bride and Groom themselves! Our guests are still talking about our wedding cake!
Whether it’s for a special Birthday or for a wedding, I highly recommend Lovely Cakes for your next event!
Renata was so amazing and so professional but most of all made the most amazing cake for our wedding. Everyone was raving about it. Thanks Renata and team!!

the chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream and strawberry preserves!
Amazing and pure magic! Lovely Cakes (LC) recently created a replica of an old black leather suitcase so realistic that one guest asked why we brought a suitcase to the party.
The owner Renata is a creative genius, a perfectionist. Working f...
rom photos I emailed, the scuffed and scratched “leather” suitcase she created stood upright - harder to construct but visually more fun. Then came “metal” corner brackets with perfectly spaced screws; an “old” name tag framed in “leather” attached to the handle and curling at the edges; a thick “worn leather” handle with delicate “metal” swivel hardware; and “metal” locks with buttons and keyholes that looked like they could spring open.
Even more impressive is LC’s use of advanced printing technology - top quality edible ink printed on delicate thin sugar sheets which produce bright colors that don’t bleed. State of the art makes all the difference. LC printed 30 images I emailed, then trimmed and applied each one to the sides of the “leather” suitcase to look like tourist decals - smooth with no raised edges, some overlapping others. It was remarkable artistry!
The flavor was wonderful, too: layers of Tuxedo cake held together with Signature Salted Caramel filling and covered in chocolate “leather” fondant. Guests loved it.
And, Lovely Cakes is easy to work with, stayed within budget and on time. Violet was unstintingly generous in answering my many questions whenever I called.
Lovely Cakes took my idea and hit it right out of the ballpark!

Renata is AMAZING. We met her at a bridal expo at L'escale Restaurant in Greenwich and tried her cake (salted caramel frosting with vanilla cake). I am not a cake or salted caramel person but it blew me and my family away. It was by far the bes...
t cake I have ever tasted.
Not only is the cake delicious, but she is a dream to work with. From scheduling a tasting to ensuring our vision of the cake, everything went so smoothly with great communication. She even accommodates multiple frosting flavors in the tiers (we couldn't decide because they were so delicious)!
We were unsure of what we wanted for cake toppers. We ended up contacting Renata later about putting Mrs. Met in a wedding dress and the Phillies Phanatic in a tux on top and sent her a few pictures. She matched our vision exactly and even elevated it with the Phanatic kissing Mrs Met on the cheek! It was truly one of the highlights of the night.
You absolutely will not be disappointed working with Renata. She will capture not only your vision for your cake, but it will possibly be the most delicious cake you've ever had.
Renata made us the absolute most perfect wedding cake !! It was not only the most delicious cake we had ever eaten (almond cake with coconut buttercream and carrot cake with cinnamon buttercream) it was the coolest cake we've ever seen at a wed...

working with Renata was such a joy! She is really a wonderful person! I visited her shop and loved her ideas, then I was bowled over by how good it tasted. I knew I had to get my cake from her. It wasn't until I went home and googled her to brag to friends that I learned she won Cake Wars -- in the only episode where the judges had no criticisms of the cakes taste! Even Lebron James loves her cakes. But she is such a warm, humble person that she told me none of that and let her cake speak for itself. Getting my cake from her was one of the very best decisions I made for my wedding!
Renata- Wow! We LOVED our wedding cake!! It was absolutely beautiful and tasted delicious. Thank you for being so easy to work with, and accommodating. I know at our tasting we were all over the place with our vision, but you nailed it. We co...

Everyone else- if you haven’t tried a cake from Lovely Cakes, order now! You won’t be disappointed. The communication with the florist and delivery was seamless. Oh, and our cake was alternating layers of vanilla cake with strawberry filling, and vanilla cake with both Nutella and salted caramel filling. YUM!!

I was first introduced to Lovely Cakes at the bridal store where I purchased my dress. After sampling a few bites, I knew Renata needed to make our wedding cake. Not only was our wedding cake delicious, it was absolutely stunning! Our guests co...
uldn't stop talking about it. Renata was a pleasure to work with and guided us in the direction that fit with the overall feel and style of our wedding. We knew we wanted a "naked cake" and the end result was a beautiful vanilla cake with salted caramel buttercream frosting. Truly perfection for an early fall wedding! We'll certainly be using Renata again for special occasions down the line.
I wanted a simple cake but I wanted to have an incredible taste that everyone would be talking about. Our cake tasted amazing! It was beautiful and just what we wanted!
It was so easy to work with Renata and I will definitely be using her for...

Renata's cake was amazing! Our cake was beautifully designed, Renata paid great attention to every little detail, she was very professional, and was able to work within our budget. Her cake was delicious, the buttercream was out of this world! ...
Renata definitely knows how real buttercream should taste. All my guests loved it. I couldn't have been more pleased with the results.
Absolutely the best cake place in the area! The minute I walked through the door I knew we found the right place! Renata the owner is the nicest lady who sits down with you one on one and listens to every detail. Our cake was one of the most ...
talked about items at our wedding! We had a unique Halloween wedding so we had asked for a Tim Burton tilted cake and it just came out perfect! Not to mention the cake is DELICIOUS!!! Lovely cakes was so welcoming I recommend her 100% any bride looking for a wedding cake you won't be disappointed!
Our cake turned out better than I could have ever imagined! Renata was lovely to work with, is a total pro and an incredibly talented artist. To top it all off, the cake was delicious. I can't wait for our 1 year anniversary to try it again!

Renata (and her cakes!) are incredible. She is a true artist and very pleasant to work with. Not to mention an incredible baker. My husband and I weren't even going to have cake at our wedding until we saw hers online and knew we had to schedul...
e a tasting - we had our minds made up after the first bite! The flavor options are both classic and creative, and so delicious. One of our layers was a red velvet, but not the garish red you're used to seeing - Renata makes her red velvet the real way, using natural coloring. Typically I'm not a huge fan of cake because of the thick fondant, but this fondant was so thin and delicate while still keeping the shape of a beautiful cake. What more could you want!
Absolutely amazing! She is so creative with her designs and created a perfect cake just based upon learning about my wedding style and colors. The cake tasting amazing as well. Everyone at our wedding loved it and raved about it. 100% recommend...

iful as well as tasty. She also created a special birthday cake for my husband who is an avid runner, hiker and amateur tennis player. She was able to incorporate all these hobbies plus our newborn baby into a cake which looked like a piece of art. Guests couldn't believe it was an actual cake. We kept the cake in tact for a couple days then our 7 yr old couldn't resist any longer and dove into the cake mouth and all. Thank you Renata!
Renata is the cake queen! She is truly a breath of fresh air amid a sea of stuck-up CT cake bakers. A total professional from the get-go, she worked very hard to respect our budget and capture our vision while serving up absolutely to-die-for c...
ake. Our tiered cake with rough buttercream was gorgeous and delicious on its own, and Renata did a beautiful job placing fresh flowers and our custom topper to make it feel truly personal.
Though she probably doesn't need our endorsement since winning "Cake Wars" (!!), we would enthusiastically recommend Renata and Lovely Cakes to anyone!
We did a cupcake tower for our wedding with a small tiered cake for us to cut. We had 3 different flavor and they were all AMAZING! Very reasonably priced, delicious and beautiful! All guests loved them as well as us!!!
Our wedding cake was beautiful, and most importantly, it was delicious! I received a lot of great feedback after the wedding. Renata was a pleasure to work throughout the process. She was very responsive and gave great suggestions. She even...
offered to give recommendations for other vendors in the area, and since I wasn't local, this proved to be very helpful! Highly recommended.
When I say our cake was flawless and exactly what we were hoping for, I mean it. Renata made us an absolutely gorgeous and absolutely delicious cake. We designed the cake with her by picking out a picture of two other cakes and combining the lo...
oks/ adding our own touches, and Renata executed the cake absolutely beautifully. The cake was also delicious and unique. I have nothing but great things to say about Renata and her work and absolutely, completely recommend her to anyone.
Our wedding cake was perfect!
Renata, the owner, is very detailed oriented and had great input as we were trying to decide on the style and flavor for our cake. The result was stellar!!! Thanks Lovely Cakes for a stress free experience, and ...
for the wonderful eatable art that was our cake!
Renata and her team were wonderful to work with. The cakes weren't just beautiful and unique they tasted awesome. My husband and I are from Texas but got married in CT we wanted a grooms cake (a southern tradition) in the shape of "Big Tex" I...
sent Renata a image of Big Tex and she sent me 3 different designs at different price points so I could choose something that I liked as well as something that could work with our budget. The grooms cake was a surprise for my husband who loved it. The cakes were so good we took leftovers with us on our honeymoon.
We highly recommend Lovely Cakes!
Renata was so great to work with and her cake was beautiful and delicious! I got so many compliments on the cupcakes especially and as a busy bride it was a pleasure to deal with someone so professional and easy-going. She made the most delic...
ious part of the day the easiest! I would absolutely use her again for future parties. Thank you Renata!
Since both my husband and I are from Brazil, we didn't know too many vendors in the U.S and when our catering manager suggested her cakes and I went on her website, I was surprised to know she is also Brazilian and offers the most delicious and...
traditional Brazilian fillings. After our tasting-the only wedding cake tasting we had- we knew right away our cake was going to be amazing and didn't have to look further. I never expected a wedding cake could be that moist and delicious. We decided to go with white brigadeiro and walnuts and it was to DIE FOR!!! Renata is lovely, very responsive, extremely detail oriented, and very talented! I could not thank you enough for all the love you have put towards our cake! The day after the wedding, all our guests were talking about was how they have never had a wedding cake as good as ours :)
As my now husband & I were searching for a wedding cake there were many to choose from in the Fairfield County, CT area. We went for several cake tastings and after making the decision to go with Lovely Cakes - we were just thrilled, all around...
! From the lovely presentation (so much attention to detail) and the delicious taste - we could not have been more pleased. Our guests continue to compliment us on our wedding cake & this too contributed to a perfect wedding for my husband & I along with our entire day. We would recommend Renata (owner) of Lovely cakes to any bride & groom looking for top quality from start to finish!
Good luck & congrats.

I could not be happier about our wedding cake!! Renata from day one was amazing to work with and helped to design the cake just for us. Not like a lot of other shops that just want to make a carbon copy cake. Our cake looked absolutely beautifu...
l!! And tasted even better! I would highly recommend Lovely Cakes to any bride!
It was a very pleasant experience to work with Lovely Cakes baker and owner Renata Papadopoulos.
First we chose a cake tasting 6 months prior @ additional $30
which consisted of 3 cakes and 3 icings. all delicious which only made the decision...
harder. My daughter wanted cupcakes and a topper cake
with fall theme marzipan decorations.
We chose 3 flavor combinations ( chocolate, white and my favorite carrot cake) which the guests raved about, especially the Salted Caramel icing. Sarah also chose the topper cake in a fourth flavor -almond.
The arrangement was beautiful, 100 cupcakes were displayed on a square tiered stand with the topper cake. As Renata suggested the bride and groom sliced the topper cake on the the towered stand which gave the same effect of a tiered wedding cake
People noted that the pumpkin and leaf decorations also tasted delicious. The remaining extra cupcakes were kept in boxes so the caterers could serve them easily
during desert. We ordered a total of 200 cupcakes (half decorated and half undecorated) for a wedding of 140 people . It was not less expensive than ordering an entire cake. However,one benefit was that we didn't have to order desert plates and forks. My daughter loves cupcakes and the guests seemed to enjoy the novelty of them. When the event was over the bride repeated asked if the prized cake and leftover cupcakes had been retrieved from the refrigerator at the venue. Lovely
cakes creations were part of what made it a perfect day.
Renata was so easy to work with. We went over for a cake tasting prior to hiring her and she had all sorts of different cakes and fillings to try, as well as designs which was great because I knew I wanted yellow cake but wasn't sure about the ...
filling. We chose cream cheese filling, which was divine. As for the look, I went with a simple but classy all white four tier design with quilting pattern and cascading natural flowers from top to bottom.
Renata delivered exactly what I wanted, the cake was moist and delicious; the design was right on .
The cake was not only unique in design, blending in live succulents and Peonies - It was absolutely the most uniquely delicious and special cake I have ever eaten. Many flavors were combined so that there was something for everyone. My guest ...
continue to talk about that cake. I had about half the wedding party from Australia and half from the US including a handful of Europeans and they all loved it. All guest were very much about the food and the cake and caterer are still being talked about five months later.
The cake was beautiful, exactly what I wanted it to look like. It also tasted amazing. I am a huge cake person. I love cake and I really wanted my wedding cake to taste good, and it definitely did! The cake also was very reasonably priced. Rena...
ta was a pleasure to work with, and I could not be any happier with the way that our wedding cake turned out.
The cake was amazing! So moist and tasty :o) Loved it! Best cake ever!
Renata from Lovely Cakes took mine and my husband's visions and created the most perfect cake for our beautiful wedding day!! Our guests were complimenting on how beautiful the cake looked, as well as how delicious the cake tasted! We are so ...
thrilled with everything:) Lovely Cakes is the cake shop to go when looking for the perfect wedding cake!
Living in Knoxville, TN and planning a Summer wedding in Fairfield, CT proved to be much less stressful than anticipated thanks to reliable recommendations from locals in the CT area. One such recommendation came from our caterer, Sherry Wyatt ...
at Artisan Southport, who could not say enough good things about Lovely Cakes. Wow! Was Sherry ever right!! Working with Renata was such a pleasant experience! From conceptualization to construction through to delivering the magnificent work of art to our reception venue, Renata thought of everything. No detail was too small to be overlooked and the final product was absolutely stunning and above all else tasted as decadently delicious as it looked. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how beautiful the cake was and how delicious it tasted. We saw many of them taking pictures of it before we cut it. We definitely hit a home run when we discovered Lovely Cakes and Renata Papadopoulos! She is an artist and her cakes are beautiful custom creations and works of art. Would absolutely, without reservation, recommend Lovely Cakes to anybody looking to get the absolute best! Thank you Renata for making our special day that much sweeter!
we are an older couple with discerning taste - a first wedding for the bride and 29 years between for the groom -we went to Lovely Cakes to choose the Cake,Filling and Icing.
all was ready for us on arrival - it was a hard choice to make but m...
ade easier by the preparation.We decided right there on the cake.This proved to be the right and Best Choice.Our Wedding Cake was delivered in time and Delicious - and was the only desert we offered,we had a baker in our group who gave high complements to the choice which was btw - Lovely in Design.
Thank you Renata !
I cannot begin to express how pleased we were with Renata and Lovely Cakes!!! From the time we sent our first email to set up an appointment to the day of the wedding, Renata was wonderful. At the tasting, she listened to what we wanted and g...
ave us a cake that was not only BEAUTIFUL (and complimented the decor and theme) but was DELICIOUS! Every single person loved it! My best friend (who never even really eats cake) ate her entire piece! Thank you SO, SO much for everything! It really made our wedding day extra special!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!
Working with Lovely Cakes was an excellent experience. Renata's cakes are beautiful, but the tasting cinched it for us. We hadn't planned on having a groom's cake, but after having difficulty deciding on just a single cake's worth of flavors, w...
e opted to add a second differently flavored cake. Communication was fast and everything was very easy. We live in New York so our face to face time after the tasting was limited, but with Renata we were able to coordinate everything after the tasting via email. The cakes were gorgeous, delicious, and exactly what we wanted.
I found this vendor on the Knot. I called FIVE cake people closer to my area before I called Renata at Lovely Cakes. FIVE. People were just not interested in me! Some people acted interested and they NEVER called back! I'm like helloooo- I'm he...
re to give you money! Renata was very happy to take my business- she was the first person to actually give me attention!
I wanted a special recipe made called Hummingbird Cake. (Google it- so yummy!) Renata was agreeable to easy recipes, and custom made these cakes. We had our tasting on my husband's birthday, and she gave us the leftover cupcakes to take home. Was very sweet! We ordered cupcakes for the wedding, and she got special cake liners, and made our cake EXACTLY how we wanted! It was SO pretty! We were so pleased. This was the most seamless transaction of the entire wedding.
Renata, the baker of Lovely Cakes is absolutely amazing.
For starters, the cakes are absolutely delicious. They are perfectly moist, deliciously filled, and taste marvelous. My husband and I had a hard time in actually deciding which flavor...
to use, so Renata worked with us and allowed us to choose the three fillings we were stuck between (we opted for strawberry preserves, pineapple buttercream, and cookies and cream buttercream). And I will say, we had a lot of cake which we brought home left over from the wedding the night before. The cake remained delicious and moist for the few days after the wedding which it took us to eat it (and believe me, not a crumb was left).
Moreover, the cakes are absolutely stunning. Lovely Cakes did our wedding cake and a groom's cake, which I surprised my husband with. We came up with designs during our consultation, and I can tell you, the cakes are ten times more beautiful and stunning in person than on paper. She incorporated every color from our wedding (black, white, and purple), and even stenciled on the demask pattern which was a theme throughout our wedding.
More importantly though, the groom's cake was to die for. It has been two weeks since the wedding and people are still talking about it. My brother-in-law even told us to find a way to preserve it and display it (but that is silly and it was too delicious not to eat). I gave Renata a crazy idea of a golf cart (my husband works on a golf course), with our dog (who goes to work with him everyday), and other little details. Somehow, she incorporated all of these ideas and pulled it off perfectly. The club car looked like an exact replica, as well as the chocolate mold of our dog sitting on the cart (even the dimensions looked perfectly life-like). The details were perfect, down to the treads on the tires to the towel on the seat, and the hose in the bed.
Overall, her cakes are absolutely beautiful and delicious. Highly recommended.
I just had my wedding June 29, 2013. After sifting through some grueling tastings and completely overpriced bakeries my husband and I came across this diamond in the rough. The owner and baker, Renata, was great to work with and completely ...
accommodating to our tastes and preferences. She offered helpful opinions and was more than patient with me and my indecisiveness. She helped me make my vision a reality and I can't stress enough how lucky we feel to have found her quaint little shop! Her cake helped to make our wedding day so special. We had a 10 piece topper and then two different flavored cupcakes. The entire display she created for us was exactly what we were hoping for- elegant but fun! Every one of our guests absolutely loved the cupcakes- I should have double the order because I never even got to try one! Someone literally stole ours off our plates... but we did get to taste the top layer of the cake which was outa this world! Sooo delish!
So to sum it up- we got an amazingly beautiful and delicious wedding cake/cupcake tower for a beyond reasonable price- what more could a bride possibly ask for?? I can't recommend this cake shop enough! We will definitely be using Lovely Cakes for future events.
We tried a bunch of places all around Connecticut, and Renata's cakes are by far the best tasting! And to boot, they were also the prettiest. I LOVED our cake, and so did our photographer! She even mentioned to me after she saw it how many phot...
os she took of it.
We got a ton of compliments on the cake. Delicious. Lovely Cakes was also about the same price as the other ones we tried around the state. Definitely recommend!
