Several months ago I recommended Southside Sugar to my niece who was looking for custom cookies for a party she hosted. I had never used them personally but saw her FB pics and fig...
ured it was a good bet. The cookies were HUGE and decorated perfectly so when I needed desserts for my husband’s surprise 50th party, I went back for cookies, cupcakes & the cake.
The theme was bourbon whiskey & cigars and Jeannie absolutely nailed it!! Everyone was in awe of the beautiful display. The attention to detail was top notch and she captured my ideas wonderfully.
The ordering process was simple and everything was packaged perfectly for transport. The cake was chocolate on chocolate and was rich & moist. Everything was truly perfect and the dessert table was ravaged as soon as we concluding the HBD song!
Jeanie absolutely blew me away with her cake skills, I was genuinely saddened by cutting my bride cake, it was THAT beautiful, I wanted to just keep it forever. It was also delicio...
us, both cakes completely exceeded my expectations.She was also very professional and made sure everything was perfect. We couldn’t recommend her enough.💕
Jeannie was very nice & easy to communicate with. She perfectly captured the esthetic we were going for with our wedding cake. The design wasn't very traditional but she knew exac...
tly what i wanted and she delivered - literally!
Where to begin. Let me start off by saying Jeannie’s work is out of this world. She made our wedding cake that was so gorgeous, I didn’t want to cut it. She is so knowledgeable and...
passionate about her work and it shows. The detail and time that she puts into not just the cake, but getting to know her customers makes the whole process so smooth and enjoyable. The communication was amazing. The flavors of her cakes are heavenly. I honestly never thought that designing and picking flavors for a wedding cake could be so peaceful and fun. Jeannie made that possible. Out of the whole wedding planning process the cake was the easiest and least of my worries thanks to her. Thank you so much for such a great experience.
Jean was awesome to work with! Very professional and very organized! We did three different cake flavors for our wedding cake and they were ALL delicious !!! She is very talented a...
nd clean with her decorating skills…. I wasn’t there for the cake drop off, but from what I heard, she was on time
and everything went smoothly!
Absolutely amazing cookies and cakes! She made the koala cookies for my baby shower and then just made a 2 tier cake, a smash cake and 2 dozen cookies in the ladybug theme for my d...
aughter’s 1st birthday. Everyone asked where I got everything because it was all beautiful AND delicious. Easy to work with the owner/ baker and delivers a quality product every time!

e decorating was beautiful, better than image. It was the WOW of the party!
And did I mention, guests were calling back asking if we had any leftovers???? (Uh, no..we ate it for breakfast : )
My first experience working with Jeannie was when she did my wedding cake in 2022. She was probably my favorite vendor because she was so thorough, experienced, and overall just ea...
sy to work with. Her quote that she created on Canva was extremely detailed, really easy to read, and actually helped me figure out exactly what I needed to order. The actual cake and cupcakes were beautiful! She created exactly what I had envisioned and I had so many compliments on how pretty it was and how delicious it was! She even provided containers at a small additional fee for the guests to take cake home - she really thinks of everything! Since, I have hired her to do a birthday cake (another showstopper and exceeded my expectations in design and taste) and am now hiring her to make a cake and cookies for our gender reveal. In hiring Jeannie, I found someone who will likely be in our lives forever (or as long as she's in business) - helping us celebrate all of the big moments. It's not often that you can say that one of your wedding vendors will continue to be in all of your big life moments - don't miss out on hiring her - she is fabulous!
Jeannie was absolutely wonderful to work with when planning my son’s wedding. She offered tastings since we weren’t sure what we wanted. I had many conversations with her and she w...
as always very responsive and patient with me. She is extremely professional and makes the best cakes around!!! (Her macarons are insanely delicious too!!). I will definitely be using her again!
The cake was awesome, beautiful,delivery and setup was spot on. Jeanie was great to work with, the cake perfection.

eous. We got rave reviews from our guests, and I was even able to get a 1/2 dozen gluten free red velvet cupcakes for our guests with allergies.
I wish I could add photos of our cake - truly she’s an artist and it was gorgeous. We didn’t want any fondant and we got a work of buttercream art.
We’ll be hiring her for our baby shower next!
I loved my cake. She did a great job! We did a naked cake with wood flowers and two dog figurines. Had all the supplies there for her to set up a delivery. She exceeded my imaginat...

g for and more. Not only that, but she made sure the decoration and delivery went smoothly even when dealing with personal family concerns that would have been more than enough reason to not be available the weekend of my wedding. I would strongly recommend Southside Sugar Cake Co to anyone looking for a beautiful and delicious cake. Thank you so much Jeannie for helping us out during such an important time in our lives and even in a critical moment in yours. Thank you!
I absolutely loved working with Jeannie! She was extremely knowledgeable and was able to walk me through the whole process for order my sweet table for my wedding. Her cake was abs...
olutely delicious and kept getting the same comments of ‘this is the best cake I’ve ever had!’ Her cookies and macaroons were also delicious and you can tell she takes a lot of pride in her work and to ensure that our big day had the perfect treats! Not to mention, she hand cuts all her sugar cookies! I would one recommend her to everyone for their wedding cake needs!
We loved working with Jean! Her cookies were beautiful and so delicious! Southside Sugar is amazing and we definitely will recommend her to anyone that comes to our venue!

usted! Jeannie’s decorating abilities are superb! I sent inspiration photos and she made the cake of my dreams! It was delicious too! We had about half a tier leftover (bridal party went Whole30 the week of wedding 🙄) and froze it. It became the weekend treat to just go eat frozen wedding cake because it was good even frozen and two months later!!

I had the pleasure of her making our wedding cake and cupcakes for our guests, and she went above and beyond, especially when you know the amount of time it takes to do what she did for us. I would give her more than 5 stars if I was allowed 😄. You will not be disappointed in using Southside Sugar Cake Co. for your event.
