The tasting was super professional and very intimate which we loved! The owner and her husband came in and provided us with information on what we were sampling and asked for inspiration on what we were thinking for our cake. It turned out beautiful and tasted amazing!
Our wedding cake was amazing! Darmayne took our vision and perfected it with her artistic talents and flawless taste of flavors!

Angie thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to leave us feedback! We appreciate you choosing to work with Sweet Confections Cakes, it was a pleasure working with you
Any questions?
Sweet confections did an amazing job on our rehearsal dinner grooms cake! I sent pictures and gave my vision of what I wanted it to look like and it turned out amazing!! The prices were affordable and the staff was so great to work with!
Sweet Confections Cakes did a fantastic job on our wedding cake! Not only did it look gorgeous, but it was one of the best cakes I've ever tasted. We got almond flavored cake, strawberry champagne filling, and cream cheese frosting and the combination was amazing. The bakery owner made the gum paste flowers herself and they looked stunning! We highly recommend Sweet Confections.
Sweet Confections Cakes was recommended to me by our wedding venue. I'm glad they did! The cake my daughter chose was almond flavored (white cake) with a strawberry champagne filling for half the cake, and a strawberry filling for the other half. It was the most delicious cake I ever taste, so moist. The frosting was light and airy and fantastic. My relatives told me it was the best cake they had ever tasted. Oh, and it was so beautiful too! We also selected the sugar flowers which looked real. I also was able to rent the cake stand which was a plus. So I highly recommend Sweet Confections Cakes.
Awesome
We absolutely loved sweet confections! Everyone raves about how great the cake tasted and it was beautifully decorated. Planning and coordination was extremely easy and well thought out. Highly recommend.
I had the cake made for a wedding celebration. My son and (now) daughter-in-law got married in Myrtle Beach at the end of July, and they had a celebration for family and friends. The cake was so absolutely beautiful that it made it really hard to cut that first slice! Your team took my ideas from Pinterest and combined them , and the result was amazing. My only complaint is that the cake was a little dry and could have used a bit more raspberry flavoring. I’d love to post a photo, but I don’t see that option.
When my wife and I received our cake it was completely beautiful, they followed everything in detail with the look ,color and design .
However it was a little dry than expected ! That’s the only reason for the 4 stars !!!
Thee very best in town!! Customer service, communication and delivery all top quality not to mention the cake tastes awesome!!

unning with the very gorgeous decorations throughout the facility. Thank you again for allowing us to play such an important role in your very special day.
Outstanding! Everyone was asking “who did our fabulous cake”? Our guests could not stop raving about our four-tiered geode wedding cake. The pink champagne flavor was a hit too! We loved all the flavors. We will be back for an anniversary cake.
Our cake was absolutely delicious and is the blue one with snowflake picture on this page if its still up for everyone to see. We had tasted her cakes while at a wedding expo in Harrisburg and we knew we had to have them make our cake. The flavors are just stunning and so delicious compared to other bakeries. She was even able to make matching cupcakes for my guests who require gluten free or vegan due to allergies. If you want a wedding cake your guests actually want to eat you should book here. I had ordered extra due to COVID and our guest count constantly changing. Since I had extra a guest had four pieces he enjoyed it so much.
Darmayne at Sweet Confections was great to work with from the initial consultation to choosing flavors and finalizing a design for our wedding cake. She gave us exactly what I asked for and our wedding guests loved how it tasted. Would definitely recommend for wedding or any other occasion!
We loved our beautiful cake and it tasted great! They delivered it without any issue.
Sweet Confections went above and beyond with our wedding cake. We had a great experience working with them from the initial cake tasting to our wedding day. They were flexible and understanding when we had to postpone our wedding date. They were also very accommodating when we wanted to add a mountain texture to two of our cake layers. We were blown away by how well the cake design was executed. The cake was so delicious that all of our guests kept on raving about it throughout the night. We went with chocolate cake w/ cookies and cream buttercream and vanilla w/ strawberry champagne buttercream which were equally as delicious. From when the cake arrived to when it was served, it remained moist and soft. I definitely recommend Sweet Confections if you want a beautiful cake with a variety of flavor options!
Sweet Confections makes some of the yummiest cake I've ever had. They were easy to work with and did a great job coming up with and executing a vision for our cake. I was busy getting ready all morning so it wasn't until later in the day that someone told me the cake had arrived late, which would explain why my florist didn't have time to add the live flowers. Unfortunately, someone at the wedding must have bumped the cake table because as soon as I walked into the reception I noticed that the top of the cake was tilting. Although this wasn't the bakery's fault, perhaps if the cake had arrived on time the photographer would have at least been able to take a photo before it was leaning, and my florist could have added the flowers before she left. Aside from that the cake looked good and tasted incredible!
Darmayne at Sweet Confections was a dream to work with. We were so excited to design our wedding cake and it turned out better than I could have ever imagined. So beautiful and so tasty.
Great wedding cake experience from the cake tasting, bridal shower cake and wedding cake.
Ms. Darmayne & her wonderful workers are professional and made all our cake visions come to reality!
We loved our wedding cake from Sweet Confections! Darmayne is the absolute best. Our design session was very fun! And who doesn't love a good cake tasting. The final product blew us away and we received rave reviews from our guests. Thank you!
Absolutely amazing! Darmayne was wonderful to work with and brought our cake vision to life!
We wanted figs and blueberries on our cake and several other "big name" bakeries refused to do figs...Sweet Confections didn't even blink at our request! Darmayne is committed to giving you the cake of your dreams and you feel that when working with her.
Our cake was both beautiful and DELICIOUS! Several guests had 2 slices! Thank you Sweet Confections!!!
So, the cake tasted great. The product I received was not the issue. My problem was with how it was delivered. As we discussed with Sweet Confections during our consultation, (and again over email) our cake was very simple with live flowers cascading down the side. Sweet Confections does not arrange flowers on cakes - no problem. We coordinated with our florist who said he could arrange the flowers if the cake as long as the cake was delivered to the venue at 2:00 (ceremony started at 4:30). 2:00 comes around and no cake. I am getting my bridal hair and make up done, and needed to stop to call Sweet Confections. No answer. I called six times between 2:00 and 3:00 and left a voicemail. I didn't get a handful of "before ceremony" pictures done because I was dealing with trying to figure out the cake. My florist was amazing and ran out to buy us other cakes from the store to decorate so we have something. Finally, Sweet Confections drops off the cake after 3:30. I didn't speak with them, but my husband said they were unapologetic and said that we should have called them (even tho we tried six times). They were held up at a previous event which is out of their control, but they had all of my contact info. They could have called and said they were running late and we could have figured it out. But they just didn't even try. My florist was still there and was able to decorate the wedding cake delivered by Sweet Confections. The end product looked and tasted great, but that much added stress hours before the wedding and a $185 invoice from my florist for staying an extra hour and a half and to reimburse them for the back up cakes was so not worth it (happy to pay my florist for the time and the cake, but the issue could have been avoided with better communication from Sweet Confections). Sweet Confections never even reached out afterwards or responded to the voicemail I left basically in tears an hour and a half before my ceremony. If you are using live flowers on your cake or need it there more than an hour before the ceremony, look somewhere else.

Dana, I am sorry you were not happy with the delivery process and feel we could improve that portion of the process (something I will evaluate). Sometimes things are outside of our control. While we do our best to communicate with all of o...
ur couples from time of booking through the wedding day we do our best not to upset the Bride on what should be the happiest day of her life, if issues arrive we reach out to the Venue or wedding planner (if one is listed). I actually arrived at 3:03pm and did I apologize to your husband even explained the delay. At that time he stated the florist had left to go purchase another cake because he was worried we would not be there by your 4:30 ceremony time. I asked if someone had called the bakery OR even stopped in the office to check with the Sharon (venue office), I was told No, As discussed during our consultation we do leave an emergency contact number with every Venue contact and/or wedding planner. We do communicate with all couples leading up to their event, however on the day of delivery sometimes things are very hectic , set backs can be experienced but we do our very best to make certain all cakes are delivered well before the start of the ceremony/reception. On the day of the event if necessary contact is made with the venue directly as not to upset the couples. Thank you again for choosing Sweet Confections Cakes. We wish you guys a happy life!
I am so glad my husband and I chose Sweet Confections to make our wedding cake! Our cake was beautiful and delicious and all of our guests said it was the best wedding cake they've ever had.
Sweet Confections is simply the best!! Darmayne and her entire staff are wonderful people and easy to communicate with. We were looking for a very special wedding cake and she delivered! Darmayne took the time to explain everything during our cake testing and gave us a lot of peace of mind! The cake was both unique and delicious and all of our wedding guests were raving about it! She also either hand delivers it herself on the day of the wedding or has an immediate family member do it. This is a very personal touch, as we found out many places do not do this. Great local, family run business! We highly recommend and will order from here many times for future events!!
The cake was beautiful and delicious. Each layer was a different flavor.
The cake was breath taking and tasted like heaven! The owners are very personable and easy to work with. They treat you like part of the family and don't opportunity like your just more money coming through the door.
Working with Sweet Confections for our wedding cake was such a pleasure. We received so many compliments on our cake, both in its appearance and taste. The bakery was so easy to work with, I even added a last minute detail as a surprise for my now-husband and they accommodated without question. We loved our cake so much and would highly recommend to anyone else!
If you are looking for the perfect event cake that will wow your guests not only in presentation but also in taste, look no further than Sweet Confections Cakes, Inc. Darmayne was a pleasure to work with on the design of our wedding cake, navigating the COVID climate and ultimately delivering our cake! When our guests and photographer saw our cake for the first time, everyone just said it looked like a work of art. I still have friends and family telling me how delicious it was. My husband and I opted to just do a wedding cake and a few gluten free cupcakes in lieu of a dessert table. We found this to be affordable and the perfect solution for us. By having multiple types of cake, guests still felt like they had enough choice to fit their tastes! Thank you Sweet Confection Cakes, Inc. for helping to put the cherry on top of a perfect day for us! You are sweet tooth approved!
The best cupcake/cake place in town! Sweet Confections Cake, Inc was recommended to me by my mother who saw the owner on the Food Network Channel. Highly recommend Sweet Confections Cake, Inc to anyone whether it's a wedding/birthday/celebration of some sort. The staff was friendly and took the time to listen to what we were looking for in our cupcakes/wedding cake. The work they do is beautiful and they are filled with amazing talent. Everything we ordered was also delicious. We would highly recommend Sweet Confections Cakes, Inc to anyone who is looking for sweet treats for any occasion.
We couldn’t have been happier with our choice to use Sweet Confections! The cake was amazing - the design was made to look like wood, and our guests (as well as the caterer!) couldn’t believe it wasn’t real wood! And the taste was incredible! They were a dream to work with - and this is coming from a bride who’s wedding had scheduling issues a few months from our big day due to COVID and everything being rescheduled. They were always easy to contact, prompt setting up, and made this portion of the wedding so much easier. We couldn’t recommend them enough; just do yourself a favor and head straight here for your cake - you won’t be disappointed!
From the initial meeting to seeing the cake on our wedding day Sweet Confections hit a home run. They brought the vision I had in my head to life and the cake was perfect! We received so many comments on it-our guests loved it as well!
Darmayne and her staff are kind, caring, talented and amazing. from our initial consultation to phone calls with questions we felt at ease and that our vision was understood. on our wedding day, we were blown away with their creation. it was exactly how we envisioned it. their cake was delicious!! we highly recommend using sweet creations for all your bakery needs! thank you for creating our gorgeous cake!!
Our experience with Sweet Confections was great from the start. Even when my fiance and I came into their shop unannounced, Darmayne took 45 minutes to discuss options with us! On the day of our event I was surprised at how perfect our cake actually was! It looked 100% like I pictured it would. Darmayne easily saw my vision and did a fantastic job making it come to life. Our cake tasted amazing and I was so happy that she could also do a dozen gluten free cupcakes for a couple guests with allergies. We can't wait to use Sweet Confections again for other celebrations in the future!
We wanted a fairly simple cake that tasted good, and Sweet Confections delivered! At the first meeting, they gave me a quote and answered all my questions without any pressure. They did layers of both chocolate and white cake for us with different filling options. They also delivered the cake to our venue for us, which was a huge stress relief! Our leftover cake didn’t go to waste because we enjoyed it for the next few days! We didn’t save the top layer, but may have to start a new tradition of getting another small cake from them in a year!
I couldn't have had a better experience. Everything about my wedding was a DISASTER. I wasn't able to have flowers as a result of false promises from a vendor. My wedding dress experience was awful. DO NOT GO TO MAPLEWOOD BRIDAL IN NJ!
However when I came to Sweet Confections I felt so welcomed. The owner took her time to listen to my suggestions about the cake design. First she asked me what I was looking for when I came in. I explained to her, but after looking at their beautiful displays I fell in love with another design. She had already drawn a design, but after discussing other options, she drew a final design that I loved even more. My vision was physically on paper. When I went to pick up the cake, after all the disappointments that I went through the day of my wedding, let me tell you it was the literal icing on the cake. I was extremely excited and I 1000000% recommend coming here. It was extremely welcoming. The price of the cake was extremely reasonable, and the work was honestly priceless.
The cake was tasty!! I specifically loved the raspberry filling and the pink champagne cake. However I ended up choosing red velvet and chocolate cakes with cookies and cream + chocolate filling. Let me tell you my guests LOVED it!!! The red velvet was a favorite but I unfortunately chose that as my top layer. I needed more!
I send much love to everyone on the team at Sweet Confections!!!!!!
Darmayne and her staff are amazing! We received so many compliments on our cake. She has unique flavors and really listens to your ideas. She is extremely talented and very reasonably priced. I am so glad we chose them for our wedding! Thank you, Darmayne!
We decided to use cupcakes instead of a cake & it ended up being perfect. She dropped them off & made sure they looked beautiful on our table. Additionally, they tasted awesome & had perfect decorations. I'd recommend them to someone looking for a good cake/cupcakes!
Our wedding cake was absolutely gorgeous! We received so many compliments. We had a three tier cake. Three different flavors with filling. The smallest was vegan Lemon! So tasty! We met with the staff one time which took approximately 30 minutes at the most. They were quick and efficient! Their prices were better than all of the other bakeries we checked out in the area. I would HIGHLY recommend sweet confections and will use them again for not wedding events!
Sweet Confections was amazing! Our wedding cake was beautiful and tasted amazing!
We had the most amazing wedding cake from Sweet Confections! Not only was it beautiful but it tasted so good that the only cake my husband and I had was the top to take home! I also ordered a surprise birthday cake and it turned out better than I ever expected!
This cake was gorgeous, and delicious! Sweet Confections was so nice to work with, through all of my questions and concerns and guest count changes and design changes I was worried something would get lost in translation, but the cake was perfect! Definitely consider them for all of your baking needs - seriously amazing cake!
We couldn't be happier about our decision to choose Sweet Confections as the provider of our wedding cake! They were extremely helpful throughout the whole process, creating a custom cake with everything exactly how we wanted it. They made the whole process so easy and exciting from designing the cake with every aspect how we wanted it, to delivering it on the day of our wedding without us having to worry about anything. We were ecstatic when we saw and tasted the cake, and our guests were blown away!
Simply AMAZING!!! I drew a pic of my dream cake and Sweet Confections NAILED IT! They got every detail PERFECTLY! It was by far the most impressive, detailed cake I've ever seen! Our guests thoroughly enjoyed the cake flavors. We couldn't be happier! Thank you!!!
The entire experience was flawless. Our cake was delicious and they coordinated the delivery with our venue so we didnt have to worry about anything.
The cake was absolutely delicious and looked perfect! The staff was super friendly and great with communication! I would recommend to anyone!!
Sweet Confections Cakes has delicious cakes and Darmayne was very friendly. She is very creative and was easy to work with. Once she drew my wedding cake on paper, she made my dream wedding cake come alive. She pays very close attention to detail as well. Since my wedding was held at the Best Western Central Hotel Harrisburg, the bill that I received was a lot cheaper than most wedding cakes. I would highly recommend Sweet Confections Cakes for any special event!
The cake was for our 25th Wedding Anniversary party which was very similar to a wedding reception. We had a 4 layer cake and 2 additional dummy layers to add height. Each layer was a different flavor cake and icing. Since we had fondant over the entire cake, we could have any flavor or color buttercream icing behind the fondant for each layer. The cake looked and tasted amazing. Even the fondant was delicious. Everyone at the party loved it. We also rented one of Sweet Confections' blinged out cake stands to display the cake. The cake and cake stand were worth every penny. I wish there was a way to upload a picture of the cake for you to view, it was gorgeous.
While I only tasted a bit of my own wedding cake at the wedding (and it was delicious!), I got rave reviews on the taste of the cake from the guests. It was simple, clean, and beautiful. We had a very positive experience communicating and planning with Sweet Confections. They were responsive and accommodating, and were truly the best priced cake I could find. In short: excellent quality for a very fair price. Highly recommend!
They wedding cake and cupcakes were delicious my guests raves about them, we also had their sugar cookies! They set up everything and made it stress free from now on any cake or cupcakes I need I will have them create it for me!
My sister used Sweet Confections Cakes for her wedding. I remember how incredible her cake looked (and tasted!). I knew I would be using them for my wedding cake.
I am the owner of Harmony Hall Estate and Karen’s Catering, LLC., over the past 31 years I have had the honor of helping thousands of couples make their wedding day dreams come true. Selecting the vendors for our wedding day was no easy task! I have worked with some of the best wedding vendors in Central PA and a few that are not so good. So when it came time for John and I to plan our own wedding we had a long list of vendors to consider. You could say I am extremely picky and quite opinionated; I have seen a lot of groom’s cakes but I have never seen an animal. John is an avid hunter and I really wanted to surprise him with a 3D deer cake. So this cake was extremely important to me. I knew I could trust Sweet Confections with the task. I sent a few photos and let the rest up to Darmayne and her team. When I saw the deer for the first time I was totally blown away. I have never seen a cake look so realistic. John was in awe. Our guest are still raving about the deer cake. Not only was it beautiful but tasty as well. Thank you for making our wedding day dreams come true! Karen & John
I can't say enough about Sweet Confections Cakes! My husband and I got married last June and were looking for a tiered cake to feed 150-200 people. We looked into some other local bakeries and the cost was outrageous, even for a small tiered cake and then a large sheet cake feeding the majority of our guests. Thankfully, we found Sweet Confections. They were able to offer us a BEAUTIFUL four layer cake, big enough to feed ALL our guests, for significantly less than any other bakery we met with.
While Sweet Confections was the affordable choice, we didn't compromise the quality of our cake AT ALL by working with them instead of the pricier competitors. In fact, our entire experience at Sweet Confections was so much better than at any other bakery we visited. We met directly with the owners, Darmayne and Robby, for our consultation. They were incredibly kind and helpful! Darmayne even sketched a blueprint of our cake right there on the spot, just by listening to me describe my vision. Oh, and the TASTE! Every flavor we tasted during our consultation was DELICIOUS! We knew we had found our baker.
Our cake was the star of our wedding day! It looked exactly as we envisioned (Darmayne and Robby even coordinated with our florists, who decorated the cake with fresh flowers). Everyone raved about how delicious it was, and we heard from several different people that they went back for a second piece.
Unfortunately, my husband and I never actually got to sit down and eat a piece of cake on our wedding day (except for the bite we shoved in each other's faces...but you barely taste that since everyone is watching you). So, at the request of our parents, Darmayne and Robby made us a small, one-tiered replica of our wedding cake for us to finally enjoy, and our parents surprised us with it at Christmas time!
We will be going back to Sweet Confections anytime we need a cake in the Harrisburg area, and we're sending all our friends and family there too. Darmayne and Robby, thank you SO much!
Sweet Confections Cakes was amazing! Our cake was exactly what we wanted. Not to mention, it also tasted AMAZING! They helped us to stay inside the budget we were looking for and their delivery price was very reasonable. Darmayne is an absolute sweetheart and was extremely helpful throughout the whole process. Definitely recommend Sweet Confections Cakes to anyone in the surrounding area!
The cake was everything I could have asked for!! It was very moist and delicious!! The flavor was amazing, and it was an absolute pleasure to work with and create the cake of my dreams with the owner herself!! She was very pleasant and super sweet and understanding. Can't wait to use Sweet Confections again for any event I can think of!!
Sweet Confections was awesome, friendly and helped us achieve the exact look and flavors we wanted for our wedding cake. It was perfect. And we had the freedom to choose several different cake and filling flavors since we couldn’t decide which ones we like doing best! And the price was reasonable. We plan on using Sweet Confections for more events in the future.
Cake was amazing. It looked beautiful and tasted so good. We had so many guests compliment us on our wedding cake. And, the staff was a delight to work with. Very friendly and helpful. I would recommend Sweet Confections to anyone and everyone for their dream wedding cake!!
The theme Halloween White Pumpkins This was by far the most amazing cake I ever seen or tasted, your hard work was the talk of our wedding ....Thank you again!!
Working with Sweet Confections is a delight and delicious too! Darmayne, the owner, works with you directly. We had a cake allowance from the hotel we were using for our reception and she helped us to stay on budget. I showed her a picture of our dream cake and they created it! They offer cake tastings on a regular basis, so my fiancée (at the time) and I attended one of them. You get to try different flavors of cake, filling and icing. All of the flavors are fabulous, so it was hard to decide. But she explained which types were included in our hotel package and kept us on budget. Darmayne works directly with my contact at the hotel to make sure the cake is delivered and positioned perfectly the day of the reception. I never had any stress about the cake. The day of the reception, when we saw the cake, we were amazed! it was so beautiful and just how we pictured it! And it was moist and delicious. The guests all loved it too. Thank you Sweet Confections for helping make the wedding cake of our dreams!
Looove Sweet Confections!!! We ordered a two tier wedding cake
from Clover & her Crew,she made a beautiful sketch of it,and I know
it'll be delicious AND beautiful ❤ We're getting married 10/27 this
Friday💏
We are so HAPPY that we went with sweet confections cakes! It was considered a destination wedding since it was 100+miles away from our home.I meet the owner and owners family at a bridal show they all were ABSOLUTELY amazing. they were honest and knowledgeable through the entire process. Once we decided to go with this bakery i worked with the owner from start to finish. She was so refreshing with her honesty and knowledge and friendliness about the cupcakes and cakes! It was great all around.BIG THANK YOU! to this shop .
One word: LOVE! We love the owners, we love the cake, and our guests did too! THEY ATE THE WHOLE THING! They gave me the design I wanted, which wasn't in any books and worked hard to find flavors that would fit this picky bride. We love them and will go back for other occasions !
We are so happy with our decision to use Sweet Confections for our May wedding! They created an absolutely beautiful naked cake for our reception that was gluten free due to dietary restrictions in my family. No one could tell the difference! We heard from multiple people that it was the best wedding cake they have ever had, and I couldn't agree more! They were such a pleasure to work with. Thank you!!
We got our wedding cake from Sweet Confections. Darmayne is lovely and great to work with. The cake was beautiful and all of our guests commented on how delicious it was. There was a little issue though, the fondant color used for base trim on every layer was supposed to be hot pink/fuchsia and it was orange. The lighting was dim so not too many people noticed that it didn't match the wedding colors, but I did. I will still recommend them, though because the cake was beautiful and delicious.
Not only was the cake design exactly like the Pinterest pic I showed her, but the owner stayed after delivery to help place the cake and add a few extra flowers the florist had brought along. Sweet Confections cares about their customers and they are delicious!

Thank you very much for the feedback and for allowing Sweet Confections Cakes to be at your wedding reception! You looked beautiful on your wedding day, you had the perfect glow even though I didn't get to see you in your gown I'm sure you loo...
ked stunning for your hubby!
We used Sweet Confections for cupcakes at our wedding reception. We ordered the speciality cupcakes (which were a little more fitting expensive than the regular sized cupcakes), but so worth the extra cost! The cupcakes were delicious! Every time we stopped in the shop for an appt for the wedding, we had to buy and eat a cupcake! The owners are so sweet and so professional and pleasant to work with. We also ordered the cupcake display for our reception- which looked amazing! We are so glad we chose Sweet Confections!
Response from the Vendor on 05/12/2017

nk a million for leaving feedback
The cake was delicious and beautiful!
Sweet Confections made our wedding cake even more beautiful than I imagined. I knew at the tasting that it was going to be delicious, but at that time I didn't have a clear vision of what I wanted. They worked with me to tease out a great design that worked within our budget and then executed it perfectly! They even hand-pipped lace details from my dress onto the cake! Our guests were raving about how tasty it was. I'm looking forward to our one year anniversary when my husband and I will get to enjoy the top layer.
I've had the pleasure of working with Darmayne and her team over the years as a catering sales manager and wedding coordinator so it was a no-brainer when it came time to pick for Our Day! They were amazing to work with as always, and the day of results with our multitude of cupcakes and personal cake were spot-on. Sweet Confections is at the top of my list for recommendations! I'd have a wedding every year just to get her white almond cake with strawberry filling and butter cream icing...HEAVEN!!
Sweet Confections Cakes greatly exceeded our expectations! We could not have asked for a better wedding cake vendor. They were kind, professional, organized, and very responsive. The cake tasting was wonderful - they even let my parents come along! Darmaine is unbelievably talented. She can create anything your heart desires. Then, there is the taste. I have been in and attended several weddings. This was the best cake I've ever had. We received so many compliments from our guests and are still getting calls/texts about how delicious it was....which is making it hard to wait a year to eat our 1 year anniversary layer :) A big thank you to Sweet Confections Cakes for a perfect job on our wedding day. I would recommend this bakery to any bride and groom who wants a flawless (and delicious) wedding cake!
Loved the cake from Sweet Confections for our May 28, 2016 wedding! The staff was great to work with and cake came out exactly like we wanted. I had a picture from Pinterest of a polka dot and stripe cake, and that's what we got! Not to mention the taste....delicious! I would definitely recommend them for any occasion
Our cake was the hit of the wedding! We ordered way more than we needed and had none left over. They are incredible! My family still orders from them for every occasion they can.
The Sweet Confections team was so great to work with from beginning to end! Our wedding cake was both delicious and absolutely beautiful!! It was everything we wanted! I would definitely recommend Sweet Confections for any occasion!
Sweet Confections went completely above and beyond for our July 2016 wedding! We sat down with the owners and went through the cake planning process about 8 months in advance, and they were just lovely to deal with. We were having a beach-themed wedding and I provided them with seashells, starfish, and a cake topper for the cake. I also rented what I thought was a basic cake stand. When we saw our cake at the reception, we were blown away! They took my ideas and ran with them. The cake stand was turned into a dock, complete with fish nets and sand. They did this completely on their own with no extra costs. I received SO many compliments on our cake - it was unbelievable! And, it tasted absolutely amazing! We had a lot of good vendors at our wedding, but Sweet Confections definitely came out on top. We'd HIGHLY recommend them to anyone!
We received rave reviews about the layout of our cake. We used the Park Inn Radisson and included in our price was a cake, from one of five vendors. Sweet Confections was the second place we taste tested and fell in love with the owners and their approach to us! The welcomed us in, let us taste a varied platter of cakes, icings, and fillings. They took our idea for the cake and modified it to fit with our wishes and within the guidelines from the Park Inn contract. The cake arrived promptly and was devoured that night!
I should start by saying Sweet confections makes the most delicious cakes! They are wonderful to work with to design the cake our your dreams. Our cake exceeded all of our expectations. The guests continue to talk about how great the cake tasted and how perfectly it fit the wedding theme. The bakery also created spot on 3D models of our dogs from photos to add to the cake. I would highly recommend Sweet confections for any event... especially a wedding.
I was so happy with the service and flexibility of Sweet Confections. I actually contacted them a few months prior to my big day. Darmayne was able to work within my budget and still provide a stunning cake. It was so delicious as well. I would def recommend.
My cake tasted good! Although there was a lot of miscommunication between myself and the person in charge. It was very hard to hear through the phone and no one seemed to have been speaking clearly into it. When it came time to paying and when things were due, I was told one date in person and then another one entirely later that claimed I was late on a payment. It was just frustrating to think that things weren't clear. My cake was delicious and I loved it but the other stuff I wasn't too happy about. It added onto stress that I didn't need.
My husband and I discovered this little bakery, tucked away off the beaten path, in the Harrisburg area. 5 seconds into our first bite of the cake tasting we knew we found our baker. If we lived closer, Darmayne would become our family baker, but we live down in Raleigh, NC so we will have to savor the cakes, cup cakes, etc. when we go North to visit family.
Timely delivery service, beautiful design, wonderful customer service, incredible taste (cake and icing!)
I can not say enough good things about this bakery.
We could could not be happier with Sweet Confections. We tried several other bakeries and they do not come close to the Sweet Confections. Sweet Confections helped make our wedding day perfect. We have found a favorite bakery and will continue to use their service for every occasion we can and stop in to purchase cupcakes as well. THANK YOU SO MUCH to the Sweet Confection Team, you are amazing! ~Tricia & Caine Howard
The cake was beautiful and delicious! Didn't have any problems everything was done professionally.
Darmayne and her staff at Sweet Confections were absolutely wonderful! From the tasting to the day of, everything went off simply and without a hitch!
Darmayne's cakes are stunning and delicious! She has amazing talent with her artistic design and her husband & her make an amazing team. It is truly a family business and they care about every customer.
Our cake was beautiful, the cupcakes were delicious and everything was flawless. My only complaint was that I didn't get to eat any of my cake once the caterer took it to cut it in slices! Totally a bummer because the strawberry swirl with strawberry icing is to die for!!
My husband runs a hotel and Sweet Confections is there almost every weekend. I've never heard a single complaint (unliked other certain popular bakeries in PA) I recommend Sweet Confections to everyone!
Selecting our wedding cake was the easiest part of wedding planning thanks to Sweet Confections Cakes and Darmayne! They know how to run a business -- professional, courteous, give you all the facts up front and then delivery a final product that exceeds expectations. Their cakes are FRESH and it's clear they use high quality ingredients because you can taste it!
Our guests LOVED the cake and we received so many compliments! Thank you to everyone at Sweet Confections. You made our day so sweet, literally!
Sweet Confection Cakes are the BEST! We sampled numerous cakes from various bakeries/vendors and chose Sweet Confections for their flavor and design. My daughter showed Darmayne a picture from a magazine & she duplicated it perfectly! It was a 3D, hand made lace fondant that had to be placed piece by piece on the cake. It was BEAUTIFUL. We also had her design a groom's cake - LOVED IT - Red Velvet - DELICIOUS!! I have referred numerous brides to Sweet Confection Cakes and they have not been disappointed. Darmayne is an artist, professional and very easy to work with. She knows the business and is very helpful in assisting with suggestions and ideas.
My husband and I have said that choosing Sweet Confections Cakes for our wedding cake was one of the best decisions we made about the wedding! We got married at the Park Inn in Mechanicsburg, PA and they work with Sweet Confections for the cakes. We are so glad we got the chance to work with Darmayne! During our meeting with her we brought our invitation, and she made our beautiful and intricate design come to life on the cake. Not only did it look beautiful, but it is by far the best cake we both have ever eaten! We received much praise for the night and were thankful to get the leftover cake to give to our famiiles as well as keep some for ourselves to eat for a week and a half after the wedding (completely worth it). Since the top tier was huge, we decided to cut some of it off to enjoy some more after the wedding and freeze the rest for our 1 year anniversary. I also worked with Sweet Confections in a grooms cake that I brought as a gift to my husband to the rehearsal dinner. With just 2 ideas, they made the cake beautifully and it also tasted wonderful! I will now go to Sweet Confections for cakes in the future!
Sweet Confections created my exquisite wedding cake, as well as a 3-D groom's cake of my boxer dog for the rehearsal dinner. Darmayne was a pleasure to work with from day 1 when I met her at her shop. She was patient with me as I went back and forth trying to decide on cake flavor and decorative design. She was open and responsive to all of my decorative ideas and listened to the details of my cake vision carefully, which she replicated perfectly for me on my wedding day.
My wedding cake was everything I dreamed it would be and more! In addition to being visually appealing, the wedding cake tasted amazing! I chose the pink champagne and white almond cake...both beyond delicious (I also chose red velvet for the groom's cake, which was very delicious, as well)! I would highly recommend Sweet Confections to any bride, as you will experience high quality service, reasonable pricing and a deliciously tasting wedding cake!
They did a surprise groomscake for my wedding. I asked for an XBox with a controller and some of my husband's favorite games. I gave them photo copies of the games. It looked GREAT! I was so happy and my groom LOVED it! Also, when I visited the shop, I wanted to taste some flavors and get advice on what flavor to go with. The staff at the shop was super helpful and led me to a delish white chocolate pound cake with lemon icing...YUMM!
When we met with the owner, she provided many different types of cakes, fillings, frostings, etc...great selection! We showed her a picture of the cake we wanted and she did a beautiful job replicating it while adding her own personal touch! They were very easy to work with, very accommodating, and made a beautiful cake that tasted great too!
We found this cake company at a wedding expo. We decided that this cake tasted the best that we had tried (we had a pink champagne wedding cake). To our pleasant surprise, not only was the cake delicious, but Darmayne was absolutely wonderful to work with. She cared so much about going over details with us and making sure we got exactly what we wanted. The cake arrived to our venue looking perfect and tasting even better! Will definitely do business with this company again.
The whole experience of this was great! Darmaine and her husband were wonderful. I had a pink champagne cake and it was definitely a hit at the wedding! Everyone couldn't get enough of it, needless to say I had no cake left except for my 1 year anniversary top. The cake was done to perfection without one flaw that I could see. It was exactly what I wanted and if I ever need anything again they will be the first to call!!
From the moment we entered the shop, we felt like Darmayne was a long lost friend! She spent over an hour talking with us, and sketched our cake according to what we liked. We sampled cake, fillings and icing. She kept in touch by phone to make sure we were still happy with what we had chosen. We were so happy with this place and would recommend it to anyone!
