Passionflower Cakes

Let’s talk about our wedding cake shall we? When I say OMG, I mean OOOOMMMMGGGEEEE!! Not only was this a visiual masterpiece, but it tasted so so so delicious! The cake tasting was the hardest part since every single cake, buttercream, and ganache combo were mouthwatering! We ended up having a red velvet cake with a amarena cherry buttercream!! Best combo we have had for a cake hands down. This was a huge crowd favorite and guests are still wishing they could have more. Passionflower Cakes was amazing from start to finish. She truly listened and absorbed every detail about our cake vision and made it reality. The attention to detail and steady hand while creating our cake design was truly seen in the final product. Set up the day of was flawless and we couldn’t have been happier with the final product. Thanks a million for your delicious and beautiful wedding cake! Hoping we are able to use your services in the future for other major events to follow. ❤️ The Benitez Family

Paris made a beautiful and delicious cake for our wedding! She had so many flavor and style options to help us get exactly what we wanted. We can’t recommend her enough!

Passionflower Cakes makes beautiful, delicious cakes and did an amazing job for our wedding!!! We did tastings with 4 different bakeries and while the cakes from each bakery were amazing, Passionflower’s cakes really stood out (and were competitively priced as well!). We were able to choose three different cakes for each layer and all were delicious. Our wedding cake was beautiful and matched our vision perfectly. We full-heartedly recommend Passionflower Cakes!

Paris from Passionflower Cakes did such an amazing job at bringing the vision of my wedding cake to life in full force. Together, we brainstormed ideas, she sent a couple sketches my way, and offered other ideas to the designs that I wouldn't have thought of. Working with her was such a joy and she put me at ease knowing my wedding cake would be delivered and set up with ease, as well as the design being so full of everything I'd hope for. I would highly recommend Passionflower Cakes to those looking to support a local business.

Our experience with Paris started with a phone consultation and from that moment I felt like we were on the same page about what we wanted for the wedding. Her prices were more than fair, while her ideas and willingness to step outside the box made her so much fun to work with! She made me so excited about the cake before we even really started planning things! The cake tasting was fabulous and Paris was more than eager to answer questions we had. After we picked our flavors, she just had everything under control. When it came to the day of our event, the cake seriously blew me away. It matched our vision perfectly, looked gorgeous, fit our theme, and tasted delicious. Thank you, Paris.

Paris at Passionflower was an exceptional partner in our wedding planning. Not only did she offer a plethora of tasting options, she worked carefully with me to understand my vision for our cake and helped me get a better idea of what the final product might look like. We were blown away to see the final product we were arrived at our reception tent day-of. All of the details matched my vision exactly. And perhaps most importantly, the cake was absolutely delicious! Every texture was perfect, and each bite offered a new wonderful flavor. I would be happy to work with Passionflower again.

Absolutely loved working with Paris! The cake was beautiful and delicious, so many flavors to choose from! She was open to ideas and was great during the creative process of choosing our cake. Responded quickly and was always willing to answer any question we had!

When my husband and I set out to try cakes and pick the place that best suited us, Paris stood out as so helpful and really flexible in working with us. she had decorated a number of nerdy emblems on to our cake that really represented us while also working with us on mixing up the cake so each tier was a different set of flavors. the cake was such a massive success and it filled our nerdy hearts so much that she did such an amazing job with the decorations.

Paris was a delight to work with! She listened to our design ideas and came up with a beautiful sketch that was exactly what we were looking for! And the final cake was just as beautiful. And, of course, it was absolutely delicious! We did a smaller cake and several flavors of cupcakes because there were so many great flavors and we could not choose. I highly recommend Paris!

Where do I even begin! Paris was so patient and helpful as we solidified the details of our cake. It didn’t help we had to postpone but thankfully she was available on the new date. We went with: Cookies & cream and devils food cake with white chocolate buttercream Strawberry & almond cane with vanilla bean buttercream The cake was such a hit! Thank you.

We were so pleased with the gorgeous and delicious wedding cake that Paris made for us! The flavors were amazing! We can't wait to enjoy the top layer on our one year anniversary!

Paris was FANTASTIC!! We picked her because of her wide variety of interesting cake flavors (ok, tbh I was hooked immediately by the idea of a bourbon brownie cake) and frosting/filling options. She was great to work with - very informative and willing to answer questions while we narrowed down our choices. We LOVED our cakes - all 3 flavors! We got the bourbon brownie (of course) with chocolate raspberry ganache and cream cheese fillings, the carrot cake with cinnamon ginger cream cheese filling, and the red velvet with cream cheese frosting inside and white chocolate frosting on the outside. Each one got rave reviews! My favorite was (predictably) the chocolate. My husband liked the carrot cake best until he got his hands on the red velvet, and then it was all over. Consensus was that they were some of the best cakes any of us had ever had. Would recommend Paris 100%!!

Working with Paris on our wedding cakes was, without a doubt, the best and easiest decision we made during our wedding plans. From our initial conversation and exchanging of ideas to the tasting, to the final execution, she made us feel incredibly well-supported with our extensive demands for our cutting cake and cupcakes. We had one small cutting cake topped with realistic sugar flowers to resemble the florals of our wedding. We also asked for four different cupcakes and butter cream pairings piped into the shape of four different flowers that we executed like a true master. We had to postpone our wedding three times and she worked through each postponement with us remaining supportive and confident that, no matter what, she would stay with us through all of the chaos! Everyone raved about our delicious cakes because, not only did they taste incredible they were absolutely GORGEOUS. Do not hesitate- reach out to Paris and let her make your experience just as magical and delicious!!

Paris was amazing to work with. We talked with her on the phone, and I sent her a link to my Pinterest page and she created the most beautiful, most delicious cake ever!!!! Would definitely recommend hiring her!

I cannot say enough about how happy my husband and I were with our wedding cake. Paris was a pleasure to work with. The taste and appearance of our cake was absolutely perfect - Paris nailed our vision. We had two flavors and Paris was able to ensure all the flavors and tiers were perfectly coordinated. Would highly recommend working with Paris if you need a cake in the Charlottesville area.

Paris was a complete professional and very responsive. Her work is amazing! Taste = perfection. Decoration = also perfection. If you need a cake definitely go to Paris!

I can not recommend Passionflower Cakes enough, and neither could our guests! We received several "best cupcake I have every had" comments, and I couldn't agree more! From taste to decor, Paris's talent is beyond words. From start to finish, she is a joy to work with - you will not be disappointed!

My (then) fiancé and I searched for weeks before finding Passionflower cakes. Paris made us feel welcome and answered every question we had regarding our wedding cake. When we decided on multiple flavors, she made them all work together AND tied our color palette in (lemon, vanilla and strawberry with a blueberry drizzle for our navy and white wedding). The cake decoration was just beautiful. Paris managed to give the cake a watercolor feel while still using bold blues and topped it with eucalyptus and anemones. It looked and tasted amazing. We are so glad we used Passionflower Cakes as our cake vendor!

Let me start by saying I am a perfectionist. I try to not live by that standard, as not to be disappointed in life. But I will say clearly that Paris and her artistic ability completely lived up to the word "perfect"! I am extremely particular when it comes to buttercream frosting. I grew up next door to a German baker. Her buttercream was the best, until I met Paris's creations. I went to every top baker in Charlottesville, and stopped when I tasted what Paris brought to the table. From the tasting to the final presentation, complete perfection! My vision was created, and let me say the taste of the cakes were outstanding! Paris, you are beyond a 5 star.

What a wonderful person to work with. She was amazing at working with me to decorate just the right cake for my Batman themed wedding. She even made arrangements with me to bring the cake a little later during the reception because it was so hot on my wedding day. It definitely helped make my cake last a little longer. My cake was beautiful and very tasty. Many compliments were received. Would definitely recommend this cake decorator.

David and I worked very closely with Paris with Passionflower Cakes to setup the sample tastings and the arrangements to have her be our wedding cake designer. Paris worked seamlessly to help build the theme of what we envisioned and she made sure the cake was delivered on-time, applied beautiful flower decorations on the cake, and made sure the cake was on the cake stand we designed and the cake topper was in place. David and I found it was also very important to support a local baker and ourselves and the wedding guest were humbly satisfied with the delicious tiered, half naked lemon cake with raspberry filling/icing. Yummy! I would highly recommend checking out Passionflower Cakes and consider this option as part of your special day.

Paris was so great to work with!! We loved our tasting and how creative we were able to get! Our cake was outstanding day of and seriously so beautiful!

The cake was an intricate multi-layer (5 tier cake with a gold leaf layer, and watercolor design layer and fed 100 people). I even had just the top layer of vegan, and we ordered specialty gluten-free cupcakes. Everything was fantastic, plenty of compliments. I wish I could attach a photo! Don't look elsewhere for your wedding cake. The price was competitive as well.

Paris was incredible to work with for our wedding cake. She is organized, responsive, and extremely talented. When we met with Paris, I didn’t really know what kind of cake I wanted. She was patient and took the time to ask us questions to determine the size and style cake that was best for us. I had a few pictures of cakes I had found online that I liked, and she helped me narrow it down to one. She did an amazing job recreating the design and modifying it based on my preferences. We had so much fun tasting the different cake and filling combinations – they were all delicious! The chocolate bourbon brownie cake with dulce de leche and Nutella filling combination was to die for and we loved the confetti cake with strawberry filling too! Our cake looked beautiful and was sooooo delicious! It was seriously the best cake I’ve ever eaten. As soon as the cake was cut, the plates flew off the dessert table faster than I’ve ever seen at a wedding and many of our guests raved about the cake throughout the night. I 100% recommend Paris and Passionflower Cakes and am already trying to find a reason to order another cake from her soon!

Paris is so talented. Not only were her cakes beautiful, but they were delicious as well! She made both our groom's cake, as well as our wedding cake. Both were absolutely stunning and delicious. We had multiple guests say our wedding cake was the best that they ever had! We cannot wait until our first anniversary to taste it again!

Paris was very professional and easy to work with. The cake tasting options were impressive-it was hard for us to pick our favorites as they were all delicious! I’m not much of a dessert person yet found her cake to be so good! Our wedding cake was beautiful and our guests raved about how good the cake and cupcakes were.

Paris was an absolute joy to work with from start to finish! Our wedding cake turned out amazingly beautiful and was absolutely delicious! Her tasting was the best by far. Being presented with many different types of cakes cut into bite size pieces and little ramekins of icings was incredible. I ended up picking flavor combos I may not have otherwise! My vision turned out even better than I could have imagined. Paris is truly an artist! We got so many compliments on the cake at the wedding. Would not hesitate to use her again or recommend her to anyone.

Once you meet Paris you know there is no other option! I always hear there is so much cake left over and ours was COMPLETELY gone AND we bought enough for every guest. She has gourmet flowers and is so sweet! The tasting was fun and of course, DELICIOUS! By far the best vendor we had.

I can't express enough what a pleasant experience it was working with Paris. Her artistry and attention to detail is something not to ignore. She gave us exactly what we wanted, and more. Everyone raved about how good the cupcakes and cutting cake were. Although we don't live in the Charlottesville area, we plan on stopping by on our way through next month just so we can bring some goodies home!

Paris did the most amazing job with our wedding cake. I CAN NOT EVEN BEGIN TO EXPLAIN HOW DELICIOUS THE CAKE WAS!!! we did a semi naked red velvet cake with raspberry buttercream and blackberry preserves. I never hear people talk about wedding cake but so many came up to me to tell me how delicious it was. Paris added dimension by adding gold leaf as well to go with our flower cascade. It was absolutely a gorgeous cake. Paris helped me design what I wanted and took the time to listen to me and get an idea of how I visioned my whole wedding. She was very accommodating with delivery and setting up of the cake. It was just a beautiful, stunning cake. Exactly what We wanted.

Before our first meeting with Paris, I had no clue what I wanted in a wedding cake. When we went to our first tasting with her, she took a look at our invitations and took notes on what we liked from her portfolio and created several beautiful ideas for us to consider. By the time we left that meeting, we had come up with a cake that we could not wait to see or taste. My husband and I handmade paper flowers for our centerpieces and Paris created beautifully intricate sugar flowers with our paper ones as the inspiration. The bourbon brownie batter and chai spice cake flavors that we chose were an absolute hit with our guests. The cake was beautiful and tasty and Paris was a dream to work with. I could not have asked for a better experience!

We absolutely loved working with Paris on our wedding and groom's cakes. We had so much fun in the cake tasting and putting together our dream wedding cake. Her designs are beautiful and artistic! We added a groom's cake later on, and she made it quirky and fun just like we wanted. It was very easy to work with her - she was responsive on email and we had no problems with delivery to our venue.

Paris did such a wonderful job making our cake. I called her less than 2 months than our wedding because another vendor didn't work out. I was SO GLAD we went with Paris instead. It meant us paying more money, but I think we got a ssignificantly better product and service. Paris was so incredibly nice and flexible throughout the process. I had a design in mind but when I went for the complimentary tasting (which was so good!) I thought about switching up my design completely. She didn't show any disappointment at these potentially drastic changes, even though she'd already made a sketch, an estimate, etc. She was so detail-oriented that she asked me to send pictures of mine and my brides maids dresses so she could match the fondant lace and lavender icing to them. She let us combine two different cake flavors and two different filling flavors for no extra charge--it was so delicious! I was worried about her delivering the cake on the day of, but I didn't even see her come or go, the cake looked beautiful they way she set it up! And she gave us a box to pack leftover slices.

We worked with Paris for our wedding cake this past June. In every aspect of working with her, we were impressed. When we met with her, we really had no idea what we wanted in a cake, but she walked us through themes, designs, and flavors, and by the time we left, we were absolutely ecstatic about what she helped us dream up. She was easy to work with throughout the design process, and was quick to answer all of our questions. She even worked with our florist to use coordinating flowers for the cake! When my husband and I arrived at our ceremony, one of the first things everyone asked us was whether or not we had seen our cake yet- it was one of the most talked about aspects of our big day! We realized why when we saw it- it was absolutely stunning! And not to mention, absolutely delicious! I wish there was a six-star option- Paris was by far one of the best and most talented vendors we worked with, which is not an easy feat when you have a guest list over 300 people :)

Our cake was the perfect mix of classic and fun. The price was very reasonable and the cake tasting was a very enjoyable process. We sent our cake topper ahead of time and had nothing to worry about (as far as the cake went anyway) on our wedding day.

Paris was amazing to work with! Brainstorming began the day we met and she had so many wonderful ideas. I really felt like Paris was invested in our wedding and wanted everything to be perfect. On the day of Paris delivered not only a beautiful cake, but a delicious one. Our wedding was about 1 month ago and people are still talking about the cake!

Paris was a JOY to work with! When we first came to her, we really had no idea what we wanted for our wedding. Paris talked us though the options and let us try different flavor combinations. During our initial visit, she drew up a sketch (in color) to show us how things would look. Not only was she professional that day, but the professionalism continued throughout all of our interactions. I ended up emailing with her a handful of times back and forth, and she always had a timely response. At the last minute, I had to add additional cupcakes to my order- she said, 'no problem!' and made it happen. Paris arrived on time to the wedding and set up the cake and the cupcakes just as we had discussed. The display was beautiful- Paris made little flowers and leaves (edible) to go on the cupcakes (we had a tree-themed stand). And, last but not least.... they were DELICIOUS! Many of our guests wanted to know the name and contact of her for future use! We chose three different flavors of cupcakes- the guests raved about them all (yes, because many guests did go back for 3rds :)). There was no doubt that Passionflower cakes would get 5 stars from me- I would highly recommend her to anyone!!!

I used Passioflower Cakes for my wedding in July and was so happy with my wedding cake! It turned out more beautiful than I had imagined and Paris was wonderful to work with. She is very creative and professional. She used my wedding dress lace as inspriation for the middle tier design. The cake tasted delicious and we recieved lots of compliments from wedding guests about it. We just celebrated our 1 month anniversary and even after being frozen for a month the top tier was fantastic! I highly recommend Passionflowers Cakes to anyone! Thank you Paris!!!
