Our cake looked so lovely and had many compliments on how delicious it was! I don't even like cake and I even enjoyed some! Highly recommended!
We wanted a very niche cake for our rehearsal dinner and this was the only bakery in town that said it was possible! The cake turned out to look so real we had guests asking why we had a Yeti cooler sitting in the corner of the room! The bourbon cream favor was also a hit with all the guests.
Sweets by Millie created the gorgeous cutting cake and dozens of mini cupcakes for our wedding. We sampled several cakes and Sweets by Millie cakes stood out for being not too sweet and having amazing flavor. We can’t wait to eat our frozen slice of cake on our one year anniversary!
Any questions?
Sweets by Millie was the best, more than I could have ever wished or imagined. Millie took my husband's and my vision and made the best cake I’ve ever had (almond with raspberry frosting)! The setup and process were easy, and she maintained excellent communication throughout the process 10/10 would recommend it to anyone getting married in the Louisville, KY area.

Thank you for your lovely review, Faith. It was a pleasure to work with you and create the cake for your wedding celebration! Wishing you a lifetime of happiness!
Sweets by Millie made the wedding cake and cupcakes for my daughter’s wedding. Both were amazing! Communication was great throughout the entire process and the taste and decoration of the cake and cupcakes were absolutely wonderful! They have many flavor choices for cakes and icings. Yummy! We received many, many compliments about the cake and cupcakes from our guests. We were thrilled with our choice of using Cakes by Millie.
Cake and cupcakes were amazing. She captured my cake design perfectly, too. All around great vendor and experience
The cake and cupcake were excellent. We did 4 flavors of cupcakes with different frostings. They were all amazing!
Sweets by Millie did an incredible job on our cake and desserts!! Not one thing was left over at the end of the night! The cake was absolutely gorgeous, and exactly what I was looking for. And it tasted AMAZING. They were extremely easy to work with and very professional. I highly recommend!
We LOVED our cake and desserts from Sweets by Millie! Everything was so good and all of our guests loved it. I am not typically a cake fan, but as soon as I tried Sweets by Millie, I knew they had to be our cake for our weeding. The chocolate cake with the bourbon buttercream was AMAZING! I would highly recommend them for any of your events! They were on time and beyond helpful with everything. Definitely a highlight of our wedding day!
Very communicative. Well prepared. And BEAUTIFUL cakes! I am very pleased I found this bakery for my wedding and plan to utilize this bakery for future events and referrals.
Fantastic to work with! We were able to try 6 different cake/frosting samples for a nominal fee and decided on a three tiered "naked" cake of three different flavors: brown sugar cake w/ orange cream cheese frosting, strawberry cake with lime cream cheese frosting, and a red velvet cake. Our guests agreed that it was amazing, and was much more moist and flavorful than a few others we sampled around the same price. Highly recommend using them!!!
The cake was absolutely delicious! I so appreciated that a box of cupcakes was left in my husband's and my hotel room... we didn't get much of a chance to eat cake at the reception, so we had the opportunity for a late night snack :)
PHENOMONAL. Maggie blew it out of the park for our wedding cake. I showed her a 3 tiered inspo photo that seemed tough to replicate and she made it look even better. It was gorgeous. She was great at accommodating us with our cake tasting and had several options for us to try. Every flavor is delicious and our guests were raving of how yummy it was. 11/10 recommend

Thank you for your glowing review, Rachel! It was such a pleasure to create your unique boho inspired cake, and I loved bringing your vision to life. Wishing you the best!
We loved Sweets by Millie! From our tasting to the wedding day they were fantastic to work with. We did a small cutting cake with 3 flavors of mini cupcakes for our dessert and got so many compliments! Multiple people told us they had to try each flavor because they were so good. Sweets by Millie had everything we needed and had stands we could rent for the display and wrapped and boxed our anniversary cake for us. I can’t say enough good things about them!

Sweets by Millie was a dream vendor for our wedding. Not only was everything delicious, but they set everything up (including cake flowers) in coordination with the venue and even left a card in our card box. 1000/10!

Very Professional! We loved the mini cupcakes as well as the variety of flavors/premium flavor options! We sent pictures of paintings we liked and Sweets By Millie used the photos as inspiration to decorate our cutting cake! We loved how it all turned out!

Thank you so much for your kind review, Elizabeth. It was such an honor to work with you, and I'm so glad that you enjoyed the desserts. I hope you had a wonderful wedding celebration, and wish you a lifetime of happiness!
Wow. Sweets by Millie—thank you!! I received so many compliments from guests about the vanilla and the carrot cake. The groom's cake had a line of people waiting to get a picture of it too! Just amazing work and communication/booking was easy. Taste testing was also easy—even during covid protocols. I appreciate the SBM team helping to make a major part of my wedding day perfect.
I am not a huge cake person, but my husband insisted on a big, beautiful cake for our wedding and I'm so glad we went with Sweets by Millie! She made us a beautiful cake with four different flavor combinations and everyone raved about it! She even made us some cupcakes and had them delivered back to our room when the night was over! We can't wait until our first anniversary when we get to eat the top layer because we know it will still be amazing!
Sweets by Mille was so amazing to work with. We did 1 6in cake and cupcakes all the flavors were so amazing. We got compliments the whole night every one loves them!
Maggie was amazing. She was quick to respond and helped me find a design I loved and could afford! Their delivery and set up was smooth. Everything a bride could ask for! Thank you!
I hired Sweets by Millie to do my wedding cupcakes. She made the whole process a breeze! She even made me a special grooms cake per my request. The cupcakes and grooms cake we stunning and the set up was great! Would highly recommend using her for your wedding!
Sweets by Millie was such a wonderful vendor to work with for our big day! From the initial tasting to designing our own custom cake, working with Maggie was fun and easy. The end result was stunning and delicious! Highly recommend!

Thank you for your lovely review, Danielle. You were a joy to work with and we wish you the best!
We are from out of town and took a chance based on the knot's reviews. This was the best decision. Maggie was great. She was easy to work with. Communication was open and setting up meeting times was easy. Our cake and cupcakes were amazing, beautiful and delicious. We also purchased some pre wedding favors in the form of sugar cookies shaped like bourbon barrels and glasses. They were a hit!!!! Best cookies ever.

We're so glad you enjoyed the cake, cupcakes, and cookies! You were a pleasure to work with. Thank you for trusting us with your wedding desserts! Congratulations!
What we envisioned was shown to us by Sweets by Millie. The cake was delicious and can’t wait to taste again on our anniversary. Hope to use again in the future.
Very professional and such wonderful, tasty cupcakes and cake!
Maggie was wonderful!!! She did everything we asked and made the cakes look far more than I could have imagined! I asked for a grooms cake with a figure on top and she gave it so much character! They not only looked awesome but the cake itself is delicious!!! Like non other. We got vanilla bean and a hummingbird cake I highly recommend for a fall or winter wedding. My guests and family loved it! I highly recommend Sweets by Millie!
Maggie was so easy to work with and responsive to all of my questions. Pick-up was super quick and easy with social distancing requirements in place. Everything for our wedding was exactly as discussed. Our cake and cupcakes were delicious. We have already used Maggie again for our daughter's birthday. We will definitely continue to use Maggie!
The cake was beautiful and held up well
The Sweets by Millie team was awesome! Very easy to work with and did an amazing job. Cake was delicious too! The bourbon pound cake with brown sugar buttercream was a hit. Cake was beautiful and delivered right on time. Highly recommend.
From the tasting to the wedding Maggie was amazing to work with! She kept up to date with us and checked in during the Covid madness and even was available for our venue change. Everything was absolutely perfect and exactly what I was looking for. Everyone raved about the cake! Definitely recommend this bakery. The strawberry cake with lime cream cheese frosting is a must try.
The communication and planning was exceptional! Not to mention the cupcakes! The flavors were perfect for a September wedding and we received many compliments on them! We even saved the extras for a sweet treat the day after the wedding. We highly recommend !
Maggie was great! She was very professional and warm during the tasting, and worked well with my many food allergies. Once we tasted her desserts we were sold! The bourbon butter cream with brown sugar pound cake was my favorite! We had cake and mini cupcakes with our country/rustic theme, which worked so well. Communication was good and I ended up with everything I wanted. I would recommend Sweets by Millie!
Maggie is amazing! Can’t imagine anyone else doing our cake. She took our inspiration and created exactly what we were looking for. And to top of off, the cake was mouthwatering.
Maggie's service was stellar! She was extremely flexible on time and very professional. Her prices are also very reasonable. Most importantly, the cupcakes were delicious and the presentation was perfect!
Working with Maggie and the team was one of the easiest parts of wedding planning for us! She listened to all my requests and made the most beautiful, delicious cake for our special day! It tasted AMAZING! They offer so many unique flavors and it all tasted so fresh!
Maggie was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding cake. Right off the bat the way she has couples come in to try samples is so easy and straight forward, as well as so tasty it made it hard for us to pick a flavor. Our actual wedding cake was a small single tier, but she made it look as grand as a massive cake and decorated it exactly as I had envisioned. Every guest commented on how delicious it was and we couldn't have agreed more. We plan on ordering our anniversary cake from this bakery every year simply due to how amazing they are. I would recommend this place to every bride.
Maggie was wonderful to work with and the cupcakes that we ordered for my daughters wedding in Sep 2019 were delicious. The buttercream icing was the best I have ever had! The cake was so lovely and the sunflowers that she made from icing were perfect! She was very prompt on answering my questions anytime I emailed her. They delivered the cupcakes right on time. I wouldn't hesitate to use Sweets by Millie for any special occasion cake that I might need.
There can’t be any better place to go for your wedding cake than Sweets By Millie. Very professional and punctual in responses. The cake and cupcakes taste better than any you’ve had and are beautiful and perfect. If you want the best, go with this company.
Maggie Hoy was incredible to work with. We had a destination wedding in Louisville and called her at the last minute to meet with us when we were only in town for the weekend. She was extremely kind and accommodating at the last minute and she did not disappoint on the day of the wedding.
The cake was beautiful and the flavors were incredible. She was easy to work with and communicate with before and after the wedding. I would definitely recommend Maggie for your next special event! I wish I lived closer so I could order her treats more often.
We thoroughly enjoyed working with Maggie at Sweets by Millie to create a cake for our wedding as well as Kentucky-shaped and calendar cookies for our welcome bags for out of town guests. Everything was stress-free and best of all, the cake was delicious! We also had cupcakes for the little people that were also scrumptious. Our cake tasting was amazing.
We planned everything from out of state so their professionalism and responsiveness was very appreciated. Setup on the day at our venue was perfect. Would highly recommend.
Maggie was so wonderful to work with! Our cake was exactly what we wanted, and it was so fun so see it all come to life on the day. She was patient and helpful when we were very indecisive at our tasting - and the cake was delicious. We enjoyed a lot of it at our wedding and the day after ! I would 100% recommend her!
Maggie was very professional and was able to answer all of our questions with ease. The cake and cupcakes turned out exactly the way we wanted, and everyone was raving about how tasty it all was. Would definitely recommend for your special day!

So glad you enjoyed everything! Congratulations again, and wishing you all the happiness in the world!
Maggie was the absolute sweetest and beyond easy to work with. Her work is stunning (and DELICIOUS!) and she listened to exactly what I wanted. I couldn’t have asked for anything better!
Planning a wedding out of state is tough, but Maggie with Sweets by Millie was super easy to work with her and very fast to respond to emails! She was also flexible with arrival and set up times and even suggested other ideas to feed everyone at our wedding and stay in our budget. On top of that, the cake was great! Thank you so much for everything!
Hands down, would not go anywhere else for my cake needs after this experience. The cake was delicious as well as beautiful, and all for a wonderful price. Every interaction we had was prompt, friendly, and polite. I’m still getting compliments from guests on the appearance and taste of the cake. 😁❤️👍
Outstanding! Sweets by Mille made a cutting cake for us as well as cookies for all our guests as our favors and the guests LOVED them! They went beyond all my expectations and were the perfect addition to our big day! So thankful we chose them!

I'm so glad you and your guests enjoyed the cake and cookies! Congratulations!
AMAZING CAKE. And the cupcakes that I was able to eat the day after were perfect. We had a small 2-tiered cake for the bridal party and cupcakes for the guests and everyone loved it. The cake was simple and beautiful and incredibly delicious. I didn't get to eat enough of it due to the annoying part of being the bride :) Would highly recommend Maggie's services. She was easy to communicate with and very friendly.
The moment we met with Maggie, the owner of Sweets by Millie we knew we were in great hands. She listened to everything we wanted. She took notes and presented ideas. Maggie is an excellent communicator and follows up promptly.
Our cake was a show stopper and she did not use fondant...the icing was the best tasting butter cream, ever. And it was not sugary sweet. It was perfect. Each tier was a different flavor and each was fresh and moist. The best tasting cake, ever. And absolutely beautiful!! It had gold leaf and the most gorgeous sugar flowers in my colors and flowers.
Such delicious cakes and the prettiest out there! Sweets by Millie did an amazing job with our two tiered naked cake and accompanying cupcakes. Many of our guests raved at the pumpkin cupcakes. She did all the delivery and set up. I just showed up to my reception and the gorgeous cake was all there ready to be devoured. Many thanks to you!!
Our cookie favors were such a hit!! They looked amazing and tasted just the same. They were really easy to work with and I would highly recommend!!
Highly recommend ! Millie was wonderful to work with and her cakes were delicious. So moist! We did a naked cake, 3 layers with vanilla cream, rasberry, and lemon as flavors. It was beautiful! She was super responsive and did exactly what she promised.
Sweets By Millie is INCREDIBLE! She worked with me through all of my million cupcake flavor decisions for our reception. They were fresh, delicious, and the set up was perfect! I have used Sweets by Millie for baby showers as well, and her work is just awesome!!! Will continue to use this bakery.
We are completely satisfied with our experience. The cake tasted absolutely delicious and was lovely. Delivery was on time.
Sweets by Millie is incredible. Maggie (the owner) made our wedding cakes (bride & groom) and we loved them! Awesome experience all around. Can't go wrong with Sweets by Millie! Highly recommended.
