Sweet By Design

top comment being “the strawberry cake was the best strawberry cake we have ever eaten”! Could not recommend her enough!

!! We highly recommend.

e exceeded our expectations. Would highly recommend Sweet by Design.

and the rest is history. Top notch communication, and she is the sweetest, just like her cakes. Please book Melissa, she will not let you down.

are very cute and really help envision how your cake will taste and to mix and mach flavors. Her cakes are moist and very flavorful, everyone in my wedding loved the cake! I can’t wait to use her again, I need more of that cake!!

ke was beautiful and everyone raved about it and the cookies being a big hit. We highly recommend Sweet by Design and will be sure to use her again in the future.

number of guests we had!! She was an absolute pleasure to work with and designed the cake I had envisioned. Has down will be ordering all my sweets from her in the future!

r to work with as she went out of her way to deliver the tasting boxes to us, took the time to plan out our vision and created the most beautiful cake for us. She was so easy to communicate with and made planning easy, including her sending tips on the tasting combinations and the cake table set up. All of the cakes and icings we tasted were incredible. It was nearly impossible to narrow it down to our final choice (champagne with almond buttercream). Every flavor was perfectly moist and flavorful. At the wedding, our cake was absolutely beautiful and delicious and we received so many compliments, especially for the unique, flavorful taste. I am so happy we chose to work with Melisa and I would absolutely recommend Sweet by Design to my friends and family!

have the same experience that most brides and grooms get to have when choosing a cake vendor. My husband and I had tried two other cake bakers before we met Melissa and when we scheduled our tastings, the vendors would have us drive to their store, they would hand us a cling-wrapped plate with different cake flavors, and send us on our way to taste the cake at home. This was obviously not any fault to the vendors as they were trying to remain safe in the middle of a pandemic, but it still didn’t give us the cake tasting experience we had hoped to get. Our experience with Melisa was a complete 180! Despite everything going on with Covid, she still took the time to meet us outside at a local Starbucks to give us a great tasting! She brought multiple plates that consisted of various buttercream and sheet cake flavors. It was wonderful and the experience felt “normal”. Aside from her samples tasting absolutely delicious, the time she dedicated to us is one of the main reasons we chose her as our cake vendor. My husband and I order a 3-tier cake, two dozen cupcakes, and 4 dozen cookies (I have a big sweet tooth :P) and the price was unbelievable for everything that we ordered. We really wanted to give our guests a full dessert experience and Melisa delivered! When Melisa came, she set up our entire dessert table and it was stunning. As a bride, I couldn’t have asked for anything more!! Not to mention the desserts were DELICIOUS. There wasn’t much left on the table so that’s a pretty good sign our guests loved the food. I would highly recommend Melisa to any bride and groom looking for a cake baker for their big day! You won’t regret it. ❤️🍰

bit difficult. Melisa gave us a very organized take-home cake tasting box with several different cake flavors and frosting samples. My husband and I still were able to get that wedding cake sample tasting experience this way. Our wedding cake tasted absolutely amazing and was very beautiful. She completely matched our vision and ensured that the wedding cake was exactly what we wanted by sending us sketches of her vision to ensured it matched with ours. She was also very responsive and professional throughout the whole process. I definitely recommend Sweet By Design!

from our guests. Melisa was so responsive and made the entire planning process so easy. She took our inspiration photos and florals and created exactly what we were looking for. We can't thank her enough for making our wedding cake perfect for our special day!

the design and execution process, I am so grateful I found Melisa. We had three smaller cakes at our wedding, and they looked exactly like the inspiration pictures I sent over and tasted incredible. A personal favorite of ours was the stacked cookie cake! So yummy and so cute!

e made it beautiful and just what we wanted a more!

e tasting and provided cards recommending certain icings with certain cakes. The flavors were all so amazing it was really hard to decide which one we wanted. Not only that, but she was flexible with changes in cake design and was 100% willing to add a grooms cake later on in the process. We received raving reviews on both the design and the taste on our wedding day. I could not recommend her enough!!

n our personal style, wedding colors, and the style of our venue, and the cakes she delivered for us were literal works of art. And not only did they look amazing, but they tasted amazing! We still have friends and family raving about how delicious the cakes were. We were unsure with how much cake was enough and thought we'd need way more, but she was 100% accurate with her advice otherwise and ended up saving us extra money! You will not be disappointed with her flavor options and artistic vision. She was wonderful to work with!

! We are so pleased with how it turned out! It was our perfect wedding cake!!

ke ever. I even went with a fruit filling, no not the gross jelly kind.. she made an amazing creamy fruit filling that was the perfect touch. My husband also isn't usually a cake fan so she created us the most amazing cookie/brownie layered cake and it was soooo good and unique, everyone was raving about it! Melisa was amazing to work with designing my geometric cake & while rescheduling due to COVID-19. On our wedding day everything tasted just as good as the day of the tasting and I'm so happy we gave Sweet by Design a chance. Just book the tasting & I guarantee you'll book Melisa!

was so fun! We are very pleased that we chose Sweet by Design for our wedding and would recommend to all our friends for any event!

hunting cake and he definitely got it. She created custom cakes for the both of us and we were more than impressed!

I'm not much of a cake person and neither is my husband, so we reached out to several vendors concerning a tiered cookie cake. Melisa not only responded faster than most other vendors, she set up a consultation right away, and made our cookie cake dreams come alive for our best day ever. It was a huge hit and just as good, if not better, than when we had our cookie tasting at our consultation in 2018. Melisa exceeded our expectations when she delivered our tiered cookie cake (within plenty of time), set it up and decorated it with the flowers left on the cake table. We highly recommend her for any special occasion, no feat is too big for this cottage bakery.

(completely Instagram worthy!) but more than that, it was insanely delicious! The cookies and cream wedding cake is what dreams are made of!

responsive throughout the entire process. Very enjoyable experience!

delivered a masterpiece!! It was delicious and gorgeous!! Our wedding cake was stunning and so delicious! We got so many compliments on it throughout the night! Highly recommend!!

vision come to life and wow it was so good. I even had guest ask for her info because they wanted cakes done for future events!

; she was even kind enough to share samples with my parents and aunt who came along with us. She worked with us throughout the whole process, answering questions and being willing to make changes along the way. When I saw our bride and groom's cake on our wedding day, I was in awe; it was absolutely beautiful! Besides how gorgeous they were, they tastes heavenly and I had people asking me all night who made these cakes. I can't wait to find another reason to use Melissa again!

had her create a custom design for the groom’s cake (college rivalry), and she did a great job!!! We got so many compliments on the taste and look of the cakes. She was extremely efficient, prompt, and organized. She has an amazing knowledge on cake sizes and designs, and her prices kept us on budget. I would recommend her to anyone!!

cake were perfect and exactly how we imagined :) Most importantly they were DELICIOUS! Our wedding cake had two flavors: 1) white chocolate with raspberry buttercream and 2) lemon with lavender blackberry buttercream. Our grooms cake had chocolate fudge with chocolate buttercream. They were all incredible!! I can't recommend her enough :)
