Our Halloween wedding cake was phenomenal. It looked amazing, tasted great, and the service was fantastic from start to finish.
Swiss Confectionery has been around for years and once you've had a slice of anything they make, you'll understand why. Stefan and his team created the cake we wanted from a pictu...
re, and it did not disappoint. He indulged our last-minute add-ons (flowers, cake pulls). Setup and delivery was prompt. Thank you for making our event extra special and sweet as buttercream!!!
We used Haydel’s Bakery for my daughter’s wedding in New Orleans, where they created a beautiful three-tier bridal cake and a one-tier groom’s cake. From the very beginning, the ex...
perience was outstanding.
The cake tasting alone set them apart. They took their time with us, offered tastings of all flavors, and everything was fresh—not pre-made or stale. They carefully reviewed our design ideas, listened to what we wanted, and offered thoughtful suggestions of their own. We chose Haydel’s immediately because they truly listened, worked within our vision, offered creative ideas, provided a fair price, and (most importantly) the cakes were absolutely delicious.
On the wedding day, the cakes exceeded our expectations. The designs were exactly what we envisioned, the flavors were incredible, and everything arrived on time and was displayed just as we requested. Haydel’s is an outstanding bakery and a true professional in every sense. Highly recommend.
I cannot thank Laurie enough. Our cake was spectacular! It had to be large to be seen from one of the opera boxes at The Orpheum, and it could definitely be seen! It was magnificen...

nd they absolutely nailed it!!
I also decided that I wanted a partially chocolate wedding cake, and they were extremely accommodating. The bottom tier of my cake was wedding cake with raspberry preserves and the top two tiers were chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. AMAZING! I got so many compliments on the cake, and I was so incredibly excited when I saw it for the first time.
I would definitely recommend Swiss!!
There is nothing better than a Swiss wedding cake! We loved our cake and so did our guests! It was delicious and beautiful, and everyone I spoke with was always very kind and perso...
nable. My fiancé did want some flavor variation for his Grooms Cake, so we did end up picking a different vendor for that. Swiss does a simple and yummy chocolate cake as the anther option to wedding cake and were very open to suggesting another baker when we said we were hoping for something else. I highly recommend Swiss for every wedding cake!
Swiss Confectionery was a joy to work with as we worked on the design of the wedding cake and groom's cake for my daughter and her husbands wedding . The cakes were beautiful and ...

ahead of time, we truly had to rely on reviews. 100% so happy we booked Swiss Confectionery.
The cake was delicious and beautiful! Many of our guests went back for seconds or even thirds!
We were always going to go with Swiss, it wasn't even a question. I simply believe we had the prettiest cake Swiss ever made. It was exactly like we discussed and what I was envisi...
oning. I LOVED the flowers with the gold leaves. I had a lot of guests who never had a traditional New Orleans wedding cake tell me they never eat wedding cake but ate multiple slices of mine. Because it was incredible, like always. You can never, ever go wrong with Swiss.
The cake tasting process was super easy! They made exactly what I wanted and the delivery was seamless.
I LOVED MY WEDDING CAKE! I almost didn’t want to cut into it because I thought it was so pretty. We went with traditional almond cake and pineapple filling, all white buttercream, ...
fleur de lis designs and fondant magnolias. For anyone reading this and unsure about the almond cake with pineapple filling combo....just trust me....It was as delicious as it was beautiful. It was perfect. I saw even our pickiest guests sneak a second piece. We even had the little bit of left over cake the next morning.....best breakfast ever!
Our cake was absolutely perfect, i could not have pictured a better cake. The idea I originally wanted, when discussing with my coordinator, I was advised not to do as it could pot...
entially dye peoples mouths; she helped me come up with a secondary plan to fully execute the original vision that I had in mind. She went above and beyond and I could not be happier with the service that I received and the final cake that we were given. Not only was it stunning to look at, but the taste and flavor were impeccable.
Wow! Our cake was so delicious and beautiful. We wanted a simple style which was very easy to accommodate. The grooms cake was spot on with our request to show Saints’ pride. I can...
’t get over how tasty the pineapple filling was with super moist cake.

Thanks Laurie and Swiss!!!
My guests are still talking about the cake, over 2 months later. We had both their almond cake with filling and a chocolate doberge cake and both were such a hit! My parents used t...
hem for their wedding as well, so it was so special to be able to have the same bakery and cakes at my wedding as they did theirs. They also said they could ship us our "cake topper" 1 year later for our anniversary rather than freezing our cake, which is great! Looking forward to eating this again on year 1.
excellent cake look and taste very friendly services
Thank you soo much for answering my multiple calls and questions. We wanted a cake that fit the table at The Balcony Ballroom. This was exactly the look she wanted and it was beaut...
iful! Cake was delicious guests got multiple slices and people asked us where is it from.. We highly recommend them and the prices are so much more reasonable than the other bakeries. Last minute we actually switched the look up and they were soo accommodating and they decorated the cake with the flowers exactly how we told them to.
Thanks again for all the help.
My husband grew up having Swiss cakes for every family occasion, so we didn't even think about anywhere else. They are SO DELICIOUS and I don't typically even like almond flavor. T...
he staff was really helpful in figuring out the right size for our guest count and I really appreciated being able to have different fillings for different layers - I know pineapple isn't everyone's cup of tea. The cake turned out beautifully (sidewinder style with flowers from our florist) and everyone loved it.
Delicious cake at an amazing price! So happy to have been able to have the same bakery and cake flavor my parents had on their wedding 25 years ago on our special day :) thank you ...
so much!
Very disappointed and wish I didn’t choose them for my wedding day. I went to the cake tasting which was delicious then. At the time I also brought in an image of the cake I wanted...
. Came the day of the wedding my cake was so plain and didn’t look anything like the image I presented. When I call to tell them I wasn’t happy, they could careless and never tried to do anything to make the situation better. It was my mom and my florist who came through and made it look like something. My guest said the cake they had was dry. So no I would not recommend this bakery. Prices are good but not worth it.
Delicious and beautiful wedding cake! Swiss was so accommodating because we kind of forgot about the cake until the last minute, and they schedule our "tasting" about a week before...
our wedding. Oops! It was delicious, and I will share left overs with my coworkers at my workplace- a NOLA Charter School this week. They will love it!
We were referred to Swiss Confectionery by our wedding venue and I couldn't be happier with the cake we received. I planned my wedding from Florida and was initially concerned that...
if would be difficult to get all of the details taken care of from so far away but they were so easy to work with and always quick to respond to all of my many questions. I absolutely loved the finished cake. It was exactly what I was looking for and tasted delicious.
The best wedding cake ever!! The staff was always friendly and helpful throughout the process.

get our cakes from there and they were delicious. My wedding cake was exactly what I wanted-nothing too crazy or over the top, but classic and beautiful. It tasted so good too, and I got so many compliments from guests on how good it was. They are very reasonably priced, which makes it even better!
Delicious and so incredibly easy to work with!
All the cakes were beautiful and delicious, so many complements on the presentation and taste. The lovely people at Swiss were so wonderful, and helpful in choosing our cakes. I hi...
ghly recommend them when choosing your cakes.
I expected to be writing a much better review for Swiss. My family always chose Swiss for our wedding cakes, but mine fell short of my expectations. I asked for a design on the sid...
es and it was delivered plain. It was so plain that you could see every wrinkle in the cake under the icing. And it was also dry, which is the last thing I expected. My cake tasting went so well and the cake was moist and delicious, but at the wedding, not so much. Sorry to say, I am very disappointed.
Swiss was awesome! It was an easy choice for us. Taste is the best in New Orleans and it looked perfect. Exactly how we envisioned. Not to mention, we are a same-sex couple, so in ...
light of recent events, we really appreciate the wonderful service they provided for our special day. I would recommend 100%.
I want to start of by saying that my family and I have been ordering from Swiss for years, from birthday parties to christenings. The quality of their work has always been exceptio...
nal!
When booking my venue, the base price of my cake was included in the price. Swiss was 1 of the 2 preferred vendors, so it was a no brainer who I was going with. I went to a Bridal Show at the Hyatt Hotel in New Orleans on June 7th, 2017. Of course, both cake vendors that my venue recommended was there and I was able to taste both cakes. Of course, Swiss's was more moist and savory.
Fast forward to the night of my wedding, I felt like my cake was drier than the cake that was provided the night of the bridal show. The icing and decor was great but the cake seemed like they baked it a few days in advance and left it in the fridge too long. I was a disappointed with the dryness of it because I just knew Swiss would deliver for my wedding. My cake was also smeared on layer 2/3, but they just turned that part to the back ( I was such a calm bride it didn't ruin my night).
Sidebar: My family has ordered 3 cakes since January 2018 and 1 of them was really moist and of Swiss quality. I think the moving of their business to a new location may have had them off of their game. They have moved to their new location though.
All in all, I will give them one more chance in August for my husband's birthday to see if they have gotten back into the swing of their great quality work.
A New Orleans classic! The wedding cake was delicious and they decorated exactly as I had described as well as based on the photo I had found from Pinterest.
I was an out of town bride and was not able to taste the cake before hand. Swiss Confectionery delivered the cake promptly at the scheduled time and without any flaws to the icing....
The cake was soft and moist and the icing was creamy without tasting overly buttery or sweet. I was floored at how good the cake tasted and would highly recommend Swiss Confectionery to any one in the future.
I am a native New Orleans bride who got married on 3/31/18 in New Orleans. The venue that I chose in New Orleans typically works with two bakeries. I visited the two bakeries and t...
ried each of their cakes.
Ms. Laurie was my contact person via email and she met us at the shop. She brought out samples of the cake and it was very delicious and I knew this was the bakery for my wedding cake.
In terms of interactions, it was a pleasure working with Laurie to come up with the creative look for my wedding cake. After a few photos and descriptive words, she knew exactly what I wanted. On the day of the wedding, the cake looked awesome and was very delicious! I would highly recommend Swiss Confectionery for your wedding cake!
Swiss confectionary did an amazing job with our cake and delivered to our venue on time. Everyone was raving about how delicious our cake was!

worked with me over the phone as we were getting married in New Orleans but living in Atlanta. I was worried about how the cake would turn out, I was reassured everything would be beautiful and taken care of. They were soooo right! Thanks again! Highly recommended
Swiss confectionery is the place to go for your wedding cake. Our cake turned out beautifully, and was delicious. They had the best value of any of the places we looked to get our ...
wedding cake, in fact they were dramatically cheaper than most of the other places we went, and their cake was just as tasty! We had a very simple white cake that we had decorated with fresh flowers, and it was beautiful. They were very accommodating and the service was excellent. We aren't huge fans of wedding cake flavor, and so they made us a small yellow cake piece to try for free. They were so kind every step of the way, and delivery was included in the price of your cake.
Swiss Confectionery was a pleasure to work with. I gave them some ideas for our cake and they did an amazing job creating it! We got so many compliments on how delicious our cake w...

y do: wedding cakes! They did an amazing job, and all I had to do was show up! They took care of everything, and were always super quick to respond with any questions I had as I planned my April 22nd wedding from Washington, D.C. I would highly recommend!
