Millie was the best! She created the perfect wedding cake for us, and let us have a different flavor for the sheet cake which gave our guests a couple options (we loved 2 and couldn't choose) AND she threw in 2 cupcakes of each flavor for us to have after (which we did).

Absolutely wonderful experience! She was patient and flexible with me, and the cake + cupcakes came out absolutely beautiful. Even after overfeeding my guests, they were going back...
for seconds on the cake, and people were fighting on who got to take how much home! I can't sing higher praises about my experience with this bakery. 11/10 would recommend. In my images I include a (bad) photoshop of what I wanted, to compare to what I got. She even met me at the reception with my little fake flowers to help put them on perfectly. Amazing service!
