Rosie was exceptional. I was MOH so I was in charge of receiving the cake day of. Rosie did a fantastic job of getting in contact with me a week prior and confirmed all of the details then. She continued to keep me updated on anything that came up on her end. The bride had picked out a topper that Rosie had to use her magic to make work - She did! And our bride wouldn't even had noticed it wasn't what they originally had talked about if I didn't point it out. The cake itself was beautiful and fit the theme of the day perfectly. Chai mandarin orange cake with salted carmel was a huge crowd pleaser. Outside of the unique flavor, it was so moist and decadent! I was also in charge of cutting the two tier, double barrel cake. Rosie left step by step instructions along with a diagram on how to cut each cake. Even if you have never cut a cake before, Rosie literally makes it so that you can't fail so long as you take your time and give yourself plenty of room! I would recommend this lovely lady and her right hand mother to anyone in the area. You are making the wrong choice if you don't use Rosie

Sweet Family Secrets did an excellent job for my daughter's wedding. Roseanne decorated the give-a-way cupcakes so beautiful and matched the décor.

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the exceptional customer service provided! Not only were they very responsive and helpful in addressing my inquiries, but the items I ordered were also packaged beautifully. Upon opening the package, I was immediately impressed by the care and attention to detail that went into ensuring the safe arrival of my order. The real highlight, however, was the delicious sweet treats themselves. From the first bite, I was completely blown away by the incredible flavors and quality. It's clear that a lot of care and passion goes into crafting each and every treat. The reasonable response time, combined with the exceptional packaging and delightful taste, truly made my experience a memorable one. I highly recommend their desserts and commend their outstanding customer service. I’ve ordered multiple times now for other events.

I am not one that often writes reviews, but Sweet Family Secrets is one that I must shout out. They have some of the most beautiful and tasty desserts. The pastries are always elegantly designed, sometimes they look too beautiful to eat. We have been a delightful recipient and over the years and the consistency in taste and design is excellent. They are very efficient and responds to messages promptly. Deliveries are always made on time. In short, the customer service experience with Sweet Family Treats is warm, professional, and friendly.

When I was planning my three-year-old son's birthday party, I faced a dilemma as my regular cake person was out of town. My best friend recommended Sweet Family Secrets, and even though I had very specific and detailed ideas for the cake, I decided to give them a try. I was a little hesitant when they suggested cupcakes instead of a cake, but I trusted their expertise. When I saw the cupcakes, I was beyond amazed. Roseanne, did a phenomenal job. The cupcakes were not only scrumptious but also beautifully decorated with intricate details. Even my son was thrilled with how well the cupcakes turned out! The red cake with number blocks was perfectly executed, and I couldn't have asked for anything more. I highly recommend Sweet Family Secrets for anyone looking for delicious and beautifully decorated cupcakes. They exceeded my expectations and made my son's birthday party memorable. Thank you again for your exceptional service and quality products.
