iversary so that we can taste them again! Arlene was so nice to work with. She is extremely talented!

nality and I was SO in love. She also came up with a huge variety of mini desserts and had them displayed so gorgeously. She's the best of the best!

th cream cheese frosting and vanilla cupcakes with key lime filling. Then of course we had to do her famous chocolate cake pops! We got so many compliments on how delicious everything was! And we had a bit left over but the next day it was all gone after having a family dinner where the leftover cupcakes were the hit of the dinner! Thank you Arlene for making our cakes so wonderful!

mptly.

ting in her cute little shop with 2 weeks until the wedding day - she made us feel like family, not to mention her cakes TASTE AMAZING! She actually down-sold (not sure if that's a word!) us into getting a smaller cake. She truly gives you your vision without money signs standing in her way. She loves what she does, and I'd recommend using her 100%!

how tasty it was!! Highly recommend allowing Arlene to create your wedding cake vision!

e for and beautiful!!! She even put two little cupcakes in for us to enjoy on our wedding night/the next day. So thoughtful and kind. Hire Arlene for your special day!

we wanted and more. THE BEST desserts we have ever had!

and cake pops. They were INCREDIBLE. There was a variety of flavors, they were decorated and presented beautifully, and she was easy to communicate with. She accommodated our requests and incorporated our theme into the decoration of the desserts so that it fit right in. Our guests are still talking about how delicious the cake pops were. Thank you, Arlene!

how it looked. I can't wait to eat the entire top layer on our first anniversary :D Easy peasy day-of set up, I didn't have to think about a thing, as the cake and cupcakes were delivered, set up, and ready to go prior to the ceremony. We even were able to get "to go" containers in our wedding colors from Arlene as well. My review is 4 stars instead of 5 just because we had a communication issue where we sent in our payment information via email, and somehow it wasn't received, so months went by before we got in touch again and realized we were never put down for our date/confirmed!! Could have been a disaster had I waited until like a week before the wedding day to re-connect, but luckily we caught it like 1-3 months ahead of time.

et Wedding Cakes for any event I have moving forward. She is the best of the best!

y what we requested and even more beautiful than we had imagined. Thank you so much for being a part of our day. We loved working with you soooo much.

ere greedy and kept the little we did have to eat after)! We've had so many compliments on both our wedding and groom's cake from guests. Thank you so much for making our wedding cake dreams come true!

e for a friend celebrating his birthday the same day as the wedding. From the initial tasting and consultation through to the end result, the Sweet Weddings team was great to work with and produced very tasty cakes for our wedding. Thanks Arlene!

it! We had left overs so the Hubby ended up taking the rest of it to work to share with his coworkers which they loved! Thank you so much Arlene! I am so happy you were a part of our special day! With love, Mr. and Mrs. Lorenzo

s that fit perfectly with our theme! Can't thank Arlene enough!

they tasted amazing!! I will use her for future cake needs without a doubt! Thank you so much Arlene!!

ne of our visits to our venue, which I thought was a great idea. We couldn't wait to get home to try them and when we did, they did not disappoint. It was so hard to pick our favorite flavors because all of them tasted so good! We wanted our cake to be simply decorated so I sent Arlene a picture of what we were thinking and I was so excited to see it on our big day. The cake, cupcakes, and display were beautiful and tasted amazing.

t you will pay is very straightforward. For example, we had cupcakes and a small one-tiered cake for myself and the groom to cut. At Sweet Weddings they do different flavored cake with different fillings for their cupcakes. I asked how many flavors we could have and would it change the pricing at all... I was told we could have as many flavors as we wanted without any change to price! They charge per cupcake, period. We had 8 different flavors of cupcakes, and our guests loved them! The red velvet cake she did for us was also incredible! On top of being a fabulous baker, Arlene was just one of the most pleasant people to work with. You can tell she loves what she does! She was great about responding to emails and answering all of my questions. Lastly, she does have a couple gluten free offerings. I would highly recommend working with Sweet Weddings.

chocolate) for our layers and three amazing fillings( coconut cream, mocha and cream cheese). I’m wanting to take the entire cake home instead of sharing! Just amazing! Beautiful and delicious! Our wedding is 26-days away and I’m looking forward to seeing and eating this cake lol!

tion and they thought it was real cheese! The bride's cake was a recreation of something found on pintrest and she created it better than the original. The flavors were amazing and I've never seen so much cake eaten at a wedding, no left overs! We couldn't have asked for anymore from her and her team!

ns. We chose 3 smaller cakes and 3 mini desserts; lemon bars, cannolis, and italian cookies which not only looked beautiful but tasted delicious! Our guests raved about our dessert display! I would highly recommend Sweet Weddings. Arlene will make your dessert dreams come true!

lcoming and wanted us to try everything to be sure of what we wanted. I was armed with a Pinterest pic of a wedding cake we desperately wanted- Sweet Weddings nailed it! Absolutely gorgeous!!! Best part was it tasted as amazing as it looked! Our wedding guests were in awe! Our event planner, Karen Erwin of St. Augustine Weddings & Events, has a fabulous relationship with the Sweet Weddings who all work so well together. They made it so easy! Arlene accommodated every request we asked for and made this the most unbelievable fairytale experience! I simply cannot imagine having another baker! 💗

you need a wedding cake or cupcakes- this is the spot!!

et weddings and Arlene decorated the cake and even brought an extra stand for it to match the rest of the dessert station! It was all beautiful and needless to say delicious!!! Thank you sweet weddings!!!

ings went above and beyond and “saved” our Groom’s Cake. We had the cake on display at our rehearsal dinner and the restaurant had planned to serve dessert instead of the cake. At the end of the night (nearly midnight), my wedding planner called Sweet Weddings explaining we were in a pinch. Sweet Weddings came to the rescue and did an impromptu pick up for our groom’s cake and stored it in their special humidified room so that the cake would be in pristine condition to display and serve the next night at our wedding. This is a great example of how impressive Sweet Weddings SERVICE is for the customer experience. Sweet Weddings talent for cake design shows in her work – I asked for an exact replication of my fiancé’s Yeti cooler. From his stickers on the cooler down to the type of fish he likes to catch, Sweet Weddings made an uncanny replication and many guests thought it was a REAL COOLER on display. Most importantly, for the guests, the cake was delicious. We are a month out from our wedding and the amount of guests who have asked who made the cake and how delicious it was is in the 100s. For beautiful and delicious cakes … you will not go wrong with Sweet Weddings!

dinator called Arlene and asked her to make us a new one and she offered to do it for free and asked if we wanted it now or right before our 1st anniversary so it would be fresh. She is such a sweet lady. Thank you so much Arlene!

o decadent and we knew we had to have them. Arlene was very patient as we went through several different options. Thanks Arlene for a beautiful, delicious wedding cake & dessert table!

at would fit our guest count and budget. The process was smooth, they delivered on time, and provided materials necessary for our cake.

nuary 14, 2017. We could not be happier. We will recommend Arlene to anyone. Best part of the whole experience, we mostly communicated via email as we live 2 hours away from St. Augustine. She definitely listened and put it all together perfectly.

oolest cakes I've ever seen. The cake was so delicious that we took a piece on our honeymoon and had it for breakfast the next day! I know for sure that I will be back for whatever cakes or treats I need in the future!

e's baptism cake, and my sister's wedding cake. I always knew that when I got married I wasn't going anywhere else for my wedding cake and Arlene would always tell me when I saw her, "You're next love". When my husband and I got engaged, I couldn't wait to email her and tell her! We met for our cake tasting and we just had a blast. I brought a picture of the cake I was envisioning and a picture of what I wanted my husbands grooms cake to be, but that was going to be a secret to him. I never had a doubt in my mind that our cake would not only be the most delicious cake ever but I knew it would be absolutely beautiful. When we got to our reception and saw it for the first time we were speechless!! Arlene is truly the most talented woman ever and she just outdid herself. My husband loved his grooms cake and we couldn't get enough of how great they both tasted. Not only is Arlene beyond talented but she is just the sweetest, so accommodating, flexible, and easy to work with. Our family will always love her and forever get our cakes from her!! You will not be disappointed when getting your cake from Sweet Weddings <3 Wedding date- December 18, 2016

he best plus Arlene was just so sweet! If you want the best baker in town go with Arlene!

work with!

- one, the gold fondant looked more yellow, this also could've easily been a lighting issue; and two, my topper was not pushed all the way through leaving the stakes visible. I would most definitely recommend them over and over again. Thank you for all your help in making this day so perfectly special.

picking out our design and flavors with her expert recommendations. The groom's cake was a huge hit, and our wedding cake could not have been more beautiful. (We coordinated with our florist, Blair Brown, to have flowers on the cake, and Arlene took care of this for us) The cake-pops are a must as well- definitely a crowd pleaser!! We cannot recommend Sweet Weddings enough- thanks Arlene!

on time. She even gave my husband and I some cupcakes for our hotel room upon request! She asked what the theme and colors were of our wedding, and displayed our cupcakes accordingly with cute signs and décor. She was fantastic from start to finish, and I highly recommend her!

Weddings!!

nal opinions (things we would never think about!). Arlene is patient and very responsive. We ended up doing three different flavor combinations (one per cake tier) and everyone was raving about the cake- its taste and beauty. Arlene also did our wedding favors- Italian Wedding Cookies. These were a hit and so delicious!

o spend a lot of money on a cake as not everyone likes cake, we were able to get cupcakes and cake pops as well. They were all such a hit at the wedding, we hardly had any leftovers. She was such a sweetheart and flexible with our schedules as well. She knows what she's doing and our cake turned out more gorgeous than I could have imagined.

naked cake, mini cupcakes, etc. and all were incredible. I only had the naked cake and cake pop, but it was apparent the desserts were delicious because the table was nearly empty by the end of the reception. Sweet Weddings is definitely the direction to go :)

ess free. Our guests are still talking about how Great the cake looked and tasted. We also ordered Macaroons and they turned out great! We would recommend using Sweet weddings to anyone. Thanks again Arlene for making the most Beautiful cake for our Big Day!

and she was so nice! She had two plates full of different cakes & fillings and they were all incredible! We ended up choosing multiple flavors to please everyone but our favorite was the key lime filling! She also did my husbands from cake which we used at the rehearsal & everyone loved it. He is in the military but loves Jack Daniels and he wanted both, and she made it happen in a way that was tasteful, no pun intended. Sweet weddings has such a variety of options available and were incredible to work with! I usually hate fondant and IT even tasted good! 5 STARS!

d as soon as the cake was cut wisked into air conditioning to be cut and served. The grooms cake was a space ship and she did an amazing job of creating it. Thanks Arlene!!

more beautiful than I could have imagined. The cakes were so delicious and everyone loved them! I cant wait to eat the top layer next June! I would highly recommend working with Arlene.

flavor with different fillings which were all breathtakingly good. Everyone said it was the best wedding cake they ever had!

s. Arlene is easy to work with and has this way of understanding exactly what you want.

She did a beautiful job creating a simple and elegant cake for us and helped us make our "backup sheet cake" into our grooms cake by adding a little extra flair and placing something on top of it that we brought from someone else! Arlene and Sweet Weddings are highly recommended by us. Thank you Arlene!

lene is extremely kind and accommodating, yet also very knowledgeable. She made it easy to place the order and make changes, and the cake table was the focal point of the reception. Although I never got a chance to have a slice of cake at the wedding [so sad about it], my husband and guests said that it was delicious! I even have a photo of my maid of honor eating 2 slices! When planning a wedding yourself and dealing with so many details and vendors, it can get a bit stressful. It was so nice to work with someone as knowledgeable, down to earth, and kind as Arlene :)

ffered us two tastings as we requested something a little different than initially discussed. Sweet weddings will not disappoint!

ed and went and bought the ribbon that matched what we used for the decorations! She even went and picked up the flowers to put on the cake once I told her who my florist was. I was expecting to have to bring them to her!

it was hard to chose. We had a large cake so picked four different flavor combinations. I was so happy with my wedding cake - I would recommend this bakery in a heartbeat.

round and turned back and the 3 of them sat licking their fingers with big smiles on their faces. Not much was left but I managed to scrape up a bit of each. It was a tough choice but our team along with Arlene created our design. My grandsons also wanted cake pops but I had to draw the line somewhere. She also conferred with my florist, A Happily Ever After Wedding ( also awesome and reviewed separately) to decorate my cake with fresh flowers. She delivered and set up with ease. When I finally saw my cake I sighed with pleasure! It was not only breath taking but delicious! Alongside my cake, Arlene had graciously placed two small plates of cake pops for the kids! How thoughtful! I only got to taste what my husband fed me before I was whisked away but was looking forward to later. My family (along with my 5 grandkids) took home the leftovers. When we got there a couple days later they had devoured it, leaving us the top layer for our 1st anniversary. But they convinced us to let them eat the rest after freezing two slices for next year.:) Well, I guess they liked it! I figured, let them eat the calories:) I'm looking forward to that slice of cake next year! Arlene Forbes, owner and baker of Sweet Weddings, made my fantasy wedding cake come true.

e with gold ribbons...and the grooms cake was an EXACT 3-D replica of my husbands 1969 Nova. They looked so wonderful...I couldn't believe it! At the meeting Arlene really listens to what you are looking for and creates it to a T. If you are looking for a wedding cake in the St. Augustine area there is no other place to go.

were French inspired and our guests loved everything!! I was impressed by the large variety of French desserts she was able to offer and bake to perfection.

and everyone at the reception carried on about how great they were. And the price is definitely reasonable for the product! Highly highly recommend!!

e right level, and her cupcakes are huge!! Our top tiers for cutting and saving were beautifully decorated with sugar paste orchids that looked so real you'd have expected them to feel velvety - like an orchid blossom! I can't imagine anything being more perfect than the beauty that she created for us. Do not go to anyone else in St Augustine for your wedding cake! You won't be sorry!

left because it tasted so good. They are a little slow to respond to your first calls because they work so much but trust me, they are worth the return call!
