My wife and I chose Ruth to make our wedding cake and let me tell you it's one of the best decisions we made in the entire process! Ruth is an absolute master at her craft and our entire wedding was in awe of the end result that she created. We gave Ruth a few short sentences of the design we had in mind and she absolutely nailed it. The cake was moist, dense, and flavorful and the design was breathtaking, featuring dozens of handmade edible fondant flowers. We had not only guests but our other wedding staff tell us it was the most beautiful cake they had ever seen. We would highly recommend Ruth for any of your cake needs!
Husband and I got married during COVID and wasn’t able to do the pre-wedding stuff, like a cake tasting. Search around for a bakery that would be will to do a cake tasting experience for us for our anniversary and was turned down by everyone. But, Ruth accommodated us even though she did not know we were planning on ordering a cake. Ruth was mindful to check for our food allergies before our appointment. She treated us just like any client, had champagne for us, and even took pictures. AND, her cakes look and tasting amazing.
I ordered 2 dozen red velvet with cream cheese icing cupcakes, and a 6 inch topper cake. Site unseen!! They were outstanding! The best cupcakes I’ve ever eaten! Thank you for making our special day even more special with a deli wedding dessert! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
