Made. by Lia did an AMAZING job with our dessert table spread. The only issue is we didn't order enough because people kept coming back for seconds (and thirds...)! Everyone at the bakery was so accommodating and professional; I cannot recommend this bakery highly enough! PS they are also a coffee shop if you want to test drive your dessert with a little latte to go with. You won't be disappointed!

Lia made the most perfect cupcakes and wedding cake for our wedding!!! They were just as beautiful as they were delicious. She did succulent and floral designs on the cupcakes that were so detailed and unique. Her team also made it super easy for us by delivering the cakes to our venue. We are so happy we chose her for our wedding!

For our wedding, we got a three-tiered cake with three different flavors and a large dessert table with three different desserts. The cake was decorated beautifully. And everything Lia provided was incredibly delicious. Months after our wedding, I still have guests raving about the mini pecan pies and St. Louie bars. One star less than perfect only because correspondence was spotty here and there. But overall we were thrilled with the services Lia provided.

Star baker! Lia was amazing to work with, so easy to communicate with, and captured our vision for our cake beautifully in her own unique style. Our cake was insanely delicious and the final decorations matched our theme flawlessly. Lia delivered and set up the cake herself and we couldn’t have been happier. Our guests still make comments about how incredible our cake was. We feel so lucky we got to work with Lia!

We hired Lia for our dessert bar and cake for our wedding this past year. We ordered an abundance of options and absolutely nothing was left at the end of the night. Everything was delicious and our wedding cake was perfect. I cannot say enough good things about this bakery and it’s staff!

The cake was beautiful, but I don't think it had enough time to thaw out. I think it is would have been out of the fridge longer, would have had better results!

Absolutely amazing! When we did the at home cake tasting, we fell in love. Lia has amazing flavor options and all were incredible. We chose three different flavors for our tiered cake and also to have cupcakes for our gluten free and vegan crowd. I was slightly worried the cake would be dry (because wedding cake always seems to be), but OMG I ate 3 pieces! It was so moist and fresh. The flavors were the same as our tasting. Our friends were also so pleased with the allergen-free cupcakes. SO happy we chose Lia and will definitely be back for our anniversary cake. Thank you!

We loved working with Lia, she is so incredible and talented at what she does! We had a smaller cake with flowers on top for us to cut for us and save for our first anniversary and then we had cupcakes, they were a hit! The flavors that she has to select from are very unique and we loved how they were not your ordinary cupcake whatsoever, they were still fresh as we were snacking on leftovers a few days after the wedding! We really enjoyed the tasting option that she offered to us and would defiantly recommend taking advantage of it before picking our flavors. We really loved supporting a small business in old town Florissant that has taken off like no other, we love this bakery and working with Lia and we will be coming back here for every event or when we need a sweet treat, thank you so much!

From start to finish, Lia made our wedding cake journey so much fun! Her cake is absolutely delicious and we had a difficult time picking just two flavors to serve our guests. She makes the process so easy by being responsive and engaged. She created the most beautifully designed cake that incorporated elements of my parent's wedding cake too which was so meaningful. We could not recommend Lia and her work enough!!

Made. by Lia was one of the easiest decisions we made when it came to wedding planning. We had done tastings at other places around St. Louis and everything just seemed so sterile. After doing a little digging, I sent my fiancé to grab a tasting box from Lia and immediately he was sold on the idea! Not only did he come back with our tasting boxes, but two other boxes filled with scones, cookies, macarons, donuts, strudels, and gooey butter cake.
I loved the how creative we could be with different buttercream and cake flavors and that's when I knew we had to book Lia. It was fresh and each bite just left us wanting more. We ended up ordering kitchen cake and a cutting cake, then added on gooey butter cookies later because we couldn't stop thinking about them (thankful that she let us add this on no problem on the later end of planning)!
Delivery was easy, on time, and she absolutely took my inspiration photos and nailed it. We couldn't have asked for a better cake!

We are so happy we decided to book Made. By Lia for our wedding day cakes! Lia's bakery is local to where I grew up, and I didn't know much about it until I visited one day in Fall of 2020 - I instantly fell in love with the vibe of the bakery and of course, all the baked goods they produced.
You can taste and see all the love and hard work that goes into every single piece of food their team creates, and their wedding cakes are no different.
Lia and her team were flexible with us when working through different cake sizes and flavor options to suit our guests, and the best part was that after the wedding when we told friends and family our cake was vegan, they were shocked! It is really THAT GOOD.
The design of our wedding cake turned out to be stunning and we got so many compliments on its uniqueness.
Huge thanks to Lia and her team for all their hard work and creativity with flavors and design. You'll be glad you booked Made. By Lia for your wedding or special event cake!

Lia made us a stunning wedding cake. It was SO SO delicious and elegantly designed. We opted for the watercolor painted cake and not only was it beautiful but it was so delicious. We picked chocolate and vanilla with strawberry filling. I could not have picked a better team to have brought my wedding cake dreams to life.

We got so many compliments on our wedding cake! Many of our guests said it was the best cake they'd ever had and it was absolutely stunning. We had to make a few changes due to COVID and each time Lia was incredibly accommodating. We had a small two tier cake and a few kitchen cakes, both in vanilla with strawberry buttercream. I would absolutely recommend Made. by Lia to other couples!

We used Made by Lia for our wedding. We order a two tier cake, cutting cake, kitchen cake and additional desserts. We loved working with Lia, she was so kind and easy to work with and answered all of our questions. The cake samples were so good, we had a hard time picking flavors so we just ordered a lot of cakes! Everything was beautiful and delicious. Our family and friends only had good things to say about the cake and desserts and made sure to tell us without even asking! Quite a few people said it was the best cake they have ever had. I thought so too! The vanilla with strawberry buttercream was so delicious. It's not even usually my favorite flavor but was amazing!

Lia made us the most beautiful and most tastey cakes for our wedding! I never thought I needed a wedding cake until I saw what she can do! Bob Ross vibes paired with some killer gooey butter squares are really all a girl needs on her wedding day!
Lia was so kind and helpful to work with. I placed a pretty late order relative to most wedding requests and was pretty clueless about what we wanted. She made it so easy and they turned out more beautifully than I could’ve imagined. I’m already excited to order anniversary cake!

There aren't enough good things to say about Lia. She is seriously a wonderful human being and immensely talented to boot. Lia made our cake for our wedding on 5/22/2021. Not only was our cake absolutely delicious, but it was STUNNING- the design we chose was quite intricate with delicately piped art deco designs covering the entire cake. It was EXACTLY what I wanted. Lia was incredibly understanding when we experienced a bit sticker shock when we got the initial quote, and then was sooo accommodating/flexible in working with us to ensure we were still able to get the exact design we wanted at more of our budget price. The design must have been A LOT of work for her, and I just want to say how much I appreciate her hard work.
In addition to being such a kind and generous person, her baking talent is unparalleled. I call myself a "Foodie," but my obsession with bakeries is next level. So needless to say, I was determined to have the best-tasting cake in all of St. Louis at my wedding. I taste-tested A LOT of cake from different bakeries- including some very fancy, "renowned," pricy artisan bakeries. Lia's was BY FAR the best we tried. We tried quite a few flavors (even when getting together our tasting box, Lia was super accommodating- typically a tasting box includes 3 flavors/cakes - we got 5!- and that's another awesome thing- rather than just giving you a tiny bit of each flavor with a little icing, from Lia you get an entire mini cake of each flavor!- this replicates the actual cake so much more efficiently from the other tasting boxes you get from other bakeries.) Anyway, we ended up choosing 4 different flavors- lemon cake with lemon cream and raspberry jam, and vanilla cake with strawberry buttercream made up the actual cake that we cut. Then for the kitchen cakes (which we wanted to remain cold/refrigerated), we did chocolate cake with dark chocolate ganache and salted buttercream; and chocolate cake with dark chocolate ganache, peanut butter fluff, and chocolate buttercream. Are you drooling yet?!
I also want to give a shout out to her adorable bakery in Florissant- it's also filled with the most delectable treats- you will want one of everything! Special mention as well to her gooey butter cake- it's obviously delicious- even my mom who does not like gooey butter cake loved it, and said it was by far and away the best she ever had. We will most definitely be using Lia to make specialty cakes for us in the future. We cannot thank her enough!!! :)

Lia made my cake for my wedding on 5/22. It looked fantastic when it got there but after an hour of being left out, it started forming large bubbles underneath the frosting. Lia came to our venue to help salvage it, but we ended up just putting flowers over where the bubbles were. She gave us a full refund, which I’m very grateful for, but it wasn’t how I wanted our cake to look although it was still pretty. She was also very accommodating to my severe allergies and the cake tasted great.

Made by Lia was was PERFECT in every way!! We did a two tiered cake for the rehearsal dinner and it was the best cake I’ve ever had! I highly recommend the salted caramel buttercream. For the wedding, we did an assortment of mini desserts and got so many compliments on them! I wish I could give her more than 5 stars! And her litttle bakery shop in Florissant is adorable abd seriously has the best coffee. Definitely my favorite bakery!

This bakery is AMAZING. We hired Lia to make our small wedding cake and large sweets table for our wedding. In the months leading up to our event, I appreciated that Lia took the time to make sure every detail was implemented just as we wanted. She made the entire planning process a piece of cake! On our day, the entire dessert display and cake were as beautiful as they were delicious. We received so many compliments on the dessert table, but I think the best one is how little we had left at the end of the night! We highly recommend Made. by Lia for special occasion treats and, if you are near Old Town Florissant, stopping by her beautiful shop!

Lia is not only a fantastic baker but the nicest person! Originally she was out of town for our wedding date, but then told us she could make it work and still do our cake for us if we picked it up a day early. It was so kind of her to accommodate us and she was wonderful to work with. We ended up with her almond cake with raspberry preserves and WOW was it fantastic. Not only was it beautiful and exactly what we wanted, but all the guests also raved about how delicious it was. My husband and I couldn't even resist keeping the top tier to freeze for our first year, so we decided to eat half and save half because it was too good to wait for another year! Will definitely use Lia for other events and of course, stop by her bakery on the regular for great treats.

Lia was recommended to us by our wedding planner, Hillary Williams of Hillary J Events and we are so happy she was. Like many 2020 couples, we had to change plans and downsize several times before our July 25th wedding. Lia was patient and gracious with our many changes, took the time to understand my vision for a clean, chic design, and expertly advised on the best way to transport our two layer cake to my parent's home an hour away in the heat of July.
The cake was beautiful and delicious. We also ordered raspberry and lemon macarons to serve alongside the cake slices, and my husband and I both agreed they were better than anything we tasted on our trip to Paris.
We can't recommend Lia enough and can't wait to follow all her success in St. Louis.

Lia is the best!!! While I've known her prior to her baking days, my tastebuds are unbiased in saying she makes some of the best wedding cake (and other desserts!) that I have ever tasted. We had next to no cake left at the end of the night and everyone raved about all of the desserts. Additionally, she is so talented in her decorating! She uses buttercream for a more natural look instead of fondant, which I personally thinks looks and tastes better. I gave her a general idea of what I was looking for and she used her creativity to make a gorgeous cake for us! Highly highly recommend for weddings and all events!

Lia is such a wonderful person and a very talented baker!! My husband and I hired her to bake our wedding cake! I even had her bake a cake for my bridal shower. Not only are her cakes scrumptious but her mini desserts are as well!!! She is a true artist and puts so much creativity into her work! She did such an impeccable job on both the bridal shower cake and our wedding cake! I definitely would recommend everyone to have her bake for any occasion! She definitely exceeded our expectations! Will definitely go back to her bakery for some coffee and bake goods!

Lia was so easy to work with and made the most delicious sweets I’ve ever had. I am personally not a fan of cake so we were tossing the idea back and forth to do ice cream instead. I am so happy we chose to go with Lia—the cake was AMAZING!! I guess I was just having the wrong cake all these years. Phenomenal! We also added on gooey butter cake party favors for the end of the night. All of our guests were ranting and raving about how delicious both desserts were. She made the process so easy. I wanted a simple cake full of flavor and she made that happen!! When we walked into our reception I was amazed at how cute the simple cake looked. It was EXACTLY what I had imagined for our wedding. If you are looking for amazing flavor and easy to work with vendor—Lia is your gal!!:)

I wish I could give Lia more than five stars. She is a must have on your wedding team. She has exceeded our expectations in every way and put the fun back into wedding planning during the stressful time of COVID. Not all vendors have been easy to work with rescheduling our wedding, however Lia has been responsive, sweet and a great communicator. Her desserts are absolutely the best! Consider adding some macaroons and cake bombs to your dessert table/party favors :)

As a wedding planner, it's safe to say that I get to taste my fair share of wedding cakes. Ironically, I am not much of a cake person, so if I am going to indulge in a sweet, it better be worth it :) Let's just say...EVERYTHING Lia bakes is worth it. With just one bite, it is evident that she uses only the freshest of ingredients; she keeps things simple but never compromises flavor (BONUS - she can accommodate all your guests' dietary restrictions at the utmost level of yummy). Her creativity extends into the designs of her cakes - always innovative and beautiful without being overdone! And the cherry on top? She is even sweeter than her creations. Your day will be MADE by choosing Lia :)

It goes without saying that Lia's work is gorgeous. I have pretty traditional taste and I wanted our cake to be relatively plain with just a bit of greenery, a few berries, and pinecones since it was a winter wedding. It seems simple, but our cake was GORGEOUS. It was tasteful, classic, and PERFECT. Even down to the way she positioned the greenery with the little pinecones... it was stunning. We received (and still do a month later) so many compliments. And of course, the taste was excellent. I have to say, though, I think my favorite part of working with Lia was the ease of it. She's a professional and she knows what she's doing. I never had to worry, ask a bunch of questions, wonder if there was anything I needed to do, etc. She was just on it to the point where I never had any concerns whatsoever ... which is huge when planning a wedding. Simply put, she's the best in all categories. You can't go wrong!!

The wedding cake that Lia made for our recent ceremony was absolutely perfect.

Lia was simply amazing! She was so easy and wonderful to work with. I had only a rough idea of what I wanted out of a wedding cake and she made it into a vision. Our cake was a showstopper and we got so many compliments. I also taste tested several different bakeries around the St. Louis area and she had the best tasting cake out of all of them. I couldn’t have asked for anything better!

My fiancé and I decided that we wanted a ‘naked’ cake for our wedding. After the initial phone conversation I knew Lia had the talent and skill to create our dream cake. She was so easy to work with! Our first tasting was a blast as she created a miniature version of our cake for us to try. We had our tasting as ‘dessert’ following our dinner at Hendel’s restaurant in Florissant. We enjoyed the experience so much that a month later I invited friends to Hendel’s to celebrate my fiancé’s birthday and had Lia create a multi layer chocolate birthday cake for dessert! The cake was moist and the chocolate rich and creamy!
The day of our wedding our planner informed us that the cake was delivered on time by very friendly and efficient staff from Made By Lia. The cake was perfect. It was everything we hoped it would be. The lemon cake and curd layer were tangy with great texture and allowed the raspberry jam layers to really pop and the combo was a great citrus explosion in your mouth! The decor on the cake was a perfect use of flowers that the florist provided. Working with Lia was a real highlight of our wedding and my husband and I plan to enjoy many madbylia baked goods in our future!

Lia is absolutely amazing! I've had the pleasure of working with her professional as a wedding photographer and personally, hiring her to make a cake for a grad party, and in both instances, she was a dream to work with.
Her cakes are out of this work in regards to taste, and her artistry and creativity are so thoughtful and intentional. She was able to take my ideas of what I wanted and create a really beautiful dessert for us. On top of all that, my interactions with her as a person were so kind and easy, it made the whole process so smooth.
I can't wait to work with her again professionally and I will definitely hire her again for my next party.
Thanks for everything Lia!

She was specific in asking exactly what I wanted and she got my vision PERFECTLY! She provided us samples of cakes to try to find our flavor combination! We chatted for months leading up to the big day so easily and she even had her sweet baby boy but still stayed in contact! This sweet lady knows what she is doing and she is good at what she does! 10/10 please do yourself a favor and go with Lia!

Lia is amazing! She very graciously "stepped out" of her last few days of maternity leave and created a beautiful two-tier cake for my daughter's Bridal Shower! Who does that?! I really did not have a concept of what I wanted for this cake, with the exception of having two tiers. The theme for the shower was "Fall In Love." I sent Lia pictures of the shower invitation and the card box we made. Her creation was absolutely stunning! The cake was vanilla with salted caramel buttercream filling. She added a caramel drip and fresh flowers to a "naked" frosted two-tier cake. Every guest at the shower talked about the cake, how beautiful it was, and how delicious it tasted! There are just no words to express my gratitude for Lia and her skills, creativity, and her devotion to each and every customer!

Lia exceeded all of my expectations and my desserts were honestly the favorite part of my wedding ceremony; they were decor within themselves, not to mention, tasted INCREDIBLE! I am a bit of a psycho detail control freak, I literally sent Lia around 5 pictures of different cakes, and drew on each of them what I liked about them, and made detailed notes about what I want the same and what I'd want to change - she never made me feel like I was being too picky or annoying her and she gave me specific feedback on every request to let me know what she could do and what the price of each request would be. She was honest, straight forward, creative, and always got back to me right away. Although I was specific, I had to leave a lot of creative freedom to Lia because I knew what I liked but I couldn't quite envision all of my 'requests' put together; that was hard for me to do but with Lia I felt completely at ease because I knew I was in good hands and I trusted her completely. She gave me fun options that I didn't even know existed and we came up with something beautiful together. Design, flavor, and presentation were better than I imagined and the price was reasonable too. Made.by Lia will not disappoint :)

She was so easy to work with, listened to exactly what I wanted, gave us tips on what designs would work best with what flavoring and icing, and made the best tasting cake I’ve ever had! Not to mention our guests raved about the beauty and taste of the cake, as well. I would 150% recommend her for any special occasion, she’s truly a talented baker and even more of a wonderful person to work with!

Lia made THE MOST BEAUTIFUL Winnie the Pooh cake and cupcakes I ordered for my best friend's baby shower!! Seriously, I couldn't have asked for anything better. She took my crazy, pieced-together vision from the very beginning and brought it all to life. The cake ended up being my very favorite piece of the whole shower and the compliments were endless. Not only was the cake visually stunning, the taste matched the perfection! While planning any event can be stressful, Lia made the whole process easy from start to finish! I highly recommend anyone in the St. Louis area looking for a cake for their special event to reach out to Lia, you most definitely will not be disappointed!!

I have always known Lia was amazing at what she does (big fan of her macarons) but her wedding cake she made for us blew me away. It was STUNNING!!! Not only was the cake gorgeous but the taste was impeccable. We sampled a few other cakes but Lia’s was by far our favorite. She is great to work with and made sure we had everything we needed and helped coordinate little details I wouldn’t have even thought of. Highly recommend!!!

Lia was amazing to work with! We planned everything over email & she really made my vision come to life. The cake was absolutely gorgeous, 100% what I asked for and tasted wonderful. Our guests raved about the cake!

Made By Lia was fabulous! We had a dessert buffet at the reception and the guests loved it! The mini Almond Raspberry cupcakes and mini Chocolate with Ganache cupcakes were a huge hit. We still had friends and family raving about the desserts in the days and weeks following the wedding reception. Lia was so sweet and had all desserts to our wedding coordinator right on time. I would highly recommend Lia to any bride-to-be and for any other future events! Thank you so much!

Lia was great to work with and an excellent baker. We decided on a vanilla buttercream and chocolate cake and both were amazing. She showed me many different designs to choose from and our cake was beautiful. She made the whole process simple and stress-free. I highly recommend Lia to any bride & groom!

My husband and I wanted a variety of desserts in addition to our cake at our wedding and I'm so happy we had Lia to tackle that task. From the beginning, I appreciated the laid-back approach Lia took. When all the wedding stress is consuming your life, it is so nice to have a vendor that is flexible. I'm also positive Lia can bake ANYTHING and make it taste AMAZING. She was able to create a mouth-watering, salted-caramel buttercream filling upon our request and we are still receiving compliments on the macaroons from all our guests. In addition, I had little direction on what design I wanted for our cake and within 5 minutes of our consult, Lia had drawn a sketch of a cake that represented my wedding vision. She suggested a white-chocolate drip down the cake to mimic all of the candles we were going to have at our reception, and she absolutely nailed it. Whether you want an aesthetically pleasing cake, or hundreds of cookies, Lia will not disappoint!

Where to even begin?! Lia did both my bridal shower cake and wedding cake. I couldn't have asked for more delicious, beautifully/perfectly made cakes! She made sure every last detail was exactly how we wanted, her cakes were almost too pretty to eat (but who am I kidding, they are so yummy)! Lia is so sweet and easy to work with, professional, and definitely has an amazing talent! I can't wait to dig into the top of our cake for our one year anniversary! :)

Lia is an amazing baker and wonderful person. She exceeded all my expectations and was so great to work with. She is a total Pro. We went to visit her and she let us do a tasting of some of her finest creations. Lia made me three smaller cakes for my wedding since I couldn't decide on a flavor since they were all delicious. They not only were delicious and fresh but they looked spectacular. My wedding guests said the cake was best they've had.

My wife and I ordered our wedding cake from Made. by Lia and it was 1)stunning 2)delicious 3)simply an amazing experoence. The detail of the cake down to the taste was superior to others we looked at it or tried. Lia comes to the table with a blank page and draws out ideas as you speak to her; pleasant and enjoyable experience front to back. We are currently planning another cake with her for a birthday. Highly Recommended!!

Lia was wonderful to work with. We are a same sex couple and wanted an unusual cake to go with our forest/fairy-tale theme, and Lia was exceptionally welcoming and open-minded. Her cake was the perfect marriage of delicious and beautiful. She worked with both us and our florist to make a stunning cake that was a definite highlight of our day. I'd recommend her to anyone.

Lia was amazing to work with! The cake was above and beyond what I wanted for our wedding BBQ! Everyone ranted and raved, and then after we cut it there wasn’t a sound in the room! It tasted a million times better than it looked which we thought was impossible! The chocolate with raspberry filling and the vanilla layers melted in our mouths! We will be using her for EVERYTHING! It makes me want to order one just to eat while I watch this is us and cry :)

Lia was our wedding cake vendor and she was amazing. We, like most couples, did cake tastings all across town trying to achieve a balance between taste and presentation. But with Lia no type of type of settling was required, she knocked everyone with both taste and presentation. Don't believe me with presentation? Look at her Instagram...taste? See her for a visit and you'll see why her heavy, rich, delightful creations are a gift from heaven. Highly recommend.

We were able to have both a pie and cake from Made by Lia and they were delicious. The naked cake we requested from her was gorgeous and she was an ease to work with, especially considering that we were planning the wedding from out of town. We got so many compliments from our guests on the cake but they absolutely loved the pie, it was such a treat for them since they usually don't make an appearance at weddings. I would highly recommend Made by Lia for any event!

I would recommend Lia's service 110%. She was very easy to work with. She did exactly what I wanted. It was everything i hoped for and more. By the time I cut my cake and ran off to dance and when I cake back my cake was all gone!! Which I knew it was a success! Everything that was made for my wedding was perfect. Lia did such an amazing job. I will be coming back for her services in the future!!
Thank you so much again LIA!!

Lia was absolutely the best! It's hard to find a cake that looks amazing and tastes delicious, and Lia absolutely accomplished that! She helped me put my ideas onto paper for the design, which turned out to be more than I could have imagined! The taste cannot be beat, she was flexible with different flavors as well. The whole process was easy and stress free, exactly what you need in a wedding vendor! Absolutely one of the best decisions we made!

Lia made the cake for our wedding in October and we couldn't have been happier with our decision. She was a pleasure to work with and the cake turned out so beautiful. I was planning the wedding from Chicago so most of our communication was over email, yet we were still able to collaborate on my ideas to add more gold detail to one of her classic naked cake designs and the finished product was perfect. We went with a vanilla cake with raspberry filling. All of the guests commented on how delicious it was. Thanks!

Lia was one of our favorite vendors we worked with! We could absolutely tell that she truly loves what she does, and puts that love in her cakes! It was so much fun meeting with her for our tasting and we loved working together with her on a design! The final product was STUNNING and our guests couldn’t stop complimenting us on the flavor. Thanks, Lia!

Lia was so great to work with! I had several images of what I wanted our wedding cake to look like and she brought all 4 of those images together! I knew I did not have to worry about the cake on the day of our wedding and the three flavors we had (chocolate, vanilla, and red velvet) were all so amazing! In addition a to our wedding, Lia has done numerous bridal shower and baby shower cakes and cupcakes and she never disappoints! If you're in the market for any dessert be sure to check her out!

For me, the wedding cake was one of the absolute most important parts of our wedding. I love dessert. We had Lia create a naked cake for us. With only the inspiration pictures I sent her, and greenery and baby breaths, Lia created an absolutely breathtaking cake. Every piece was eaten! Highly recommend.

Lia was wonderful to work with and I am so glad that we found her! When I first saw my wedding cake I was absolutely stunned at how beautiful it turned out.

If you need a gluten free cake, look no further than Lia! We had an absolutely beautiful and totally delicious cake that our guests gobbled up. We opted for a gluten free vanilla bean with strawberry jam filling for the top two layers and a chocolate with chocolate ganache non gluten free base. Thankfully the venue saved the top of our cake for us since it was sooo good and we got tiny slices at the wedding.
Lia was easy and pleasant to work and her buttercream frosting is really great - you need to try it. I loved that she used real ingredients for flavor such as using grated vanilla beans in the cake versus fake flavoring.
We were very happy with our cake and Lia was able to work within my budget.

Lia and her cake were absolutely amazing! Every person complimented how delicious her cake was and several people asked for her information. Every single piece was eaten and many had a few pieces because they loved it so much! The cake turned out beautiful, exactly what we wanted. She was very easy to work with. My only regret is not eating a piece of all 3 flavors we got the night of! Can't wait to get many more treats from her in the years to come.

Lia is absolutely amazing! She was the only baker we were able to find who was able to accommodate our need for a gluten free cake! She made us a gorgeous two tier naked chocolate cake with butter cream frosting and raspberry jam. And it was incredible - both to look at and to eat. We got so many compliments! Lia was also extremely easy to work with! She quickly responded to emails and always answered our questions promptly.

Lia was the absolute best to work with! Lia made our cake for our September wedding and it was absolutely perfect. From day one Lia was so easy to communicate with and she always responded quickly and answered all our questions. She took my thoughts and brought it to reality and made a wedding cake that was absolutely stunning. Our cake turned out beautiful and we have gotten so many compliments on it to this day. I highly recommend working with Lia. Planning a wedding can be stressful but she made creating a cake so enjoyable and fun. On top of our cake looking fabulous it tasted absolutely amazing. I highly recommend using Lia it is the easiest decision you can make and one you will never regret!

Our guests loved the cake so much that we ran out despite having more than enough for everyone. Guests were eating multiple pieces and we definitely did not see it being wasted. Lia was also sweet enough to do a small order later for my parents since they didn't get any cake from the wedding. I hope to order from Lia again in the future. She was wonderful to work with and we couldn't have been happier with our wedding cake.
