We used Sweet Life Bakery as our wedding cake and it was both beautiful and delicious! It looked exactly like the inspo pics we shared and our guests were raving about how tasty it was.
My grandson's engagement party was this weekend, and I must say the cake was over the top! The flavors were just a great as the presentation. We had so many compliments. Jessica and staff are the best! I think this was the prettiest of them
all.
My cake was gorgeous and tasted just as good as it looked. I had so many people come up to me to tell me how good it was.
Jenny and the whole Sweet Life Crew made our wedding perfect. We chose New Orleans as a destination wedding and did not want to compromise on taste or quality of cake. We love the tasting we had with them so much that we also got a dessert cup for our rehearsal dinner. Most of our guests were from out of town and everyone wanted to stop by Sweet Life before they left because the cake was that good! Thank you all and appreciate your artistry
The Sweet Life Bakery was everything I wanted and didn’t think existed.
The most important thing you need to know is — I’m not a huge sweets fan (one bite and I’m good)… I ate all of the samples myself and I may have snarled at my fiancé when he got close to them after his one bite of each. All of the other bakery samples I tried were fine but didn’t come close. Easiest decision I made for the entire wedding was choosing The Sweet Life Bakery.
We wanted a light, fruit flavored cake for our wedding — lemon raspberry in some format with Swiss meringue buttercream (SMB) was our hope. You’d think that wouldn’t be a huge ask these days. However, The Sweet Life Bakery was the only bakery that really had the variety of fruit options we wanted (that wasn’t white cake with a fruit jam) AND prepared tasting samples for us to try without any pushback or a crazy high up charge (very reasonable). Cake samples included blueberry, lemon, vanilla and almond. SMB samples included lemon, raspberry, vanilla and blueberry.
They make beautiful cake designs but I was on tight budget for a 90 person wedding and wanted to have a surprise groom’s cake, so I went with a plain white wedding cake. It was still gorgeous! The groom’s cake of our Yorkie was hysterically perfect! I emphasized that she has big ears and they nailed it all! The fondant on the groom’s cake was the perfect thickness and not too sweet so it was just as delicious as the wedding cake.

Sweet life bakery was awesome! They were so accommodating when helping to schedule my tasting. Jenny helped me design and make a 4 tier cake, three different flavors, that my entire family loved! Everyone raved about how great every different flavor was and I loved how the texturing came out. Thank you sweet life!
Amazing cake, amazing staff, and absolute artistry! We’ll most likely eat the tier we saved for ourselves before our first anniversary because it was that delicious!
Both the groom’s cake and wedding cake were moist, delicious, and exactly what we asked for.
The Sweet Life bakery was absolutely amazing! They did everything to a T! The cake turned out exactly how I wanted it, the macaroons were beautiful and most importantly everything tasted phenomenal! I still get people telling me how good the cake and macaroons were! Don’t even think about it- you need to hire them for your wedding!
Don't hesitate on booking The Sweet Life Bakery for your wedding! Jenny was such a pleasure to work with - despite some difficulties such as having to reschedule everything due to covid. I received so many compliments about our wedding cake from guests. However, I think the star of the show was the ooey gooey filled kings cups as our favors. These were a huge hit for our local and many out of town guests.
We were incredibly happy with our experience working with The Sweet Life Bakery. Jenny was very easy to work with, the cakes were very delicious, and our cakes were incredibly beautiful! I would love a whole tub of that frosting to eat on its own- it was so good!! Our grooms cake really WOWed our guests from the North that are not used to seeing these. Jenny made us an awesome Dunkin donuts cake- colorful and complete with a Dunkin cup and donut on top. The cakes were also reasonably priced compared to others that we explored. We would highly recommend going with Sweet Life for your wedding cakes! Can't wait to go back and have a slice of their cake for a future anniversary.
I can not recommend Sweet life enough! They were AMAZING. Super easy to work with. Our wedding cake looked and tasting amazing. We had so many compliments. the chocolate with German chocolate filling is out of this world. Highly recommend. Kelly A
Love these ladies and this bakery! They worked with me for 3 years as we kept having to cancel and reschedule our wedding, and they were patient and worked with us at every turn. Loved the chocolate chip cake groom's cake - it looked fabulous and tasted amazing! And they even made a little statue of the bride's and groom's dog riding a surfboard to put on top! We also ordered a lot of their amazing chocolate chip cookies. Highly recommend!
Jenny did an amazing job on both my cake and the groom's cake. They came out exactly how we wanted and tasted delicious. Even better than I imagined. Jenny worked with us all throughout the Pandemic and we're glad she stuck with us. It was a pleasant experience from start to finish.
Bonus: I found Sweet Life to be very reasonable compared to some of the others and just as good quality. Beautiful cakes that taste great.
I met Jenny and Jessica at a Bridal show several years back and have been hooked on the Sweet Life ever since! They are my go-to for cakes, cupcakes, king cakes, and those mid-day ice cream cravings! Their sweets so delicious, and the stuff that they come up with is so creative. The calories are so worth it!!!!
This bakery was amazing from the start! I emailed them to inquire about a cake with short notice for my small wedding ceremony. Jenny was quick to respond, detail-oriented, and very professional. Our cake came absolutely perfect. It was elegant and visually fit into our fall themed wedding perfectly. I asked for spiced cake with cream cheese filling and they delivered. The cake was moist and just the right amount of sweet! Everyone loved it! Highly recommend hiring this bakery to take care of your special day!
We loved our tasting and all the details that went into preparing for our day. The special request groom’s Kentucky Blackberry jam cake was amazing, thank you Jenny
I cannot praise Jenny enough for her amazing work! The cake was absolutely delicious and my husband (who hates cake!) even loved it!! He said it was the most delicious red velvet he's ever had! It was so beautiful and exactly what we wanted. We also had some mini key lime tarts and they were amazing! We can't thank Jenny enough for how flexible she was when our venue changed 24 hours before the ceremony due to COVID-19.
Our wedding cake and grooms cake were both absolutely perfect!!! We had so many compliments on both of them, looks and taste!! I could not have been any happier with how they turned out, and how much of a lifesaver Jenny was when our baker backed out a month before the wedding and she still pulled it off!! Absolutely perfect!!!
My cake was beautiful!
I’m still obsessed with how awesome it was. It took us a while to nail down what kind of design we wanted and they definitely nailed it and then some. Every layer was a different flavor because we loved all of them. Tastings were set by appointments but they even do “take home tastings” so busy couples can just pick up flavors that they want to try. So convenient.
And my grooms cake? Amazing! He asked for racing tires stacked up with tools laying around and that’s exactly what we got.
Perfect look. Perfect taste. Perfect cake.
The Sweet Life was super easy to work with and very accommodating, especially when we had to make a last minute time adjustment. The cake was delicious and absolutely gorgeous! The delivery and set-up was perfect.
We're so glad we found Jenny at The Sweet Life Bakery! She was so easy to work with, and everyone raved about how delicious our wedding cake was. We originally planned to use a cake topper, but the berries adorning the top were so perfect that we didn't want to mess with perfection! My mother told me she kept waking up in the middle of the night to sneak another little bite for the week after our wedding. Thank you!
Of the multiple cake tastings we went on, Sweet Life was the obvious winner! The whipped buttercream frosting was absolutely delicious and Jenny made it so easy for us to customize our flavors. The delivery of the cake was seamless and the final product was gorgeous-Jenny fully realized our vision. We got so many compliments from our guests on the look and taste of our cake and we can't wait to break out the top tier for our 1 year anniversary. Don't hesitate to book your dream wedding cake with Jenny at Sweet Life!
I don’t know where to begin to describe the taste and detail of my wedding cake because it was ineffable. The professional/custom service from The Sweet Life Bakery inspired me to become an event planner because everyone deserves the best services for their special events. We live in Wisconsin and had our wedding in New Orleans. I tried so many cakes from different bakeries but from the first moment I walked into their bakery I knew I didn’t have to look any further. Everything turned out exactly how I wanted it and I rested assured knowing they would deliver exceptional service on my big day.
The Sweet Life Bakery exceeded all my expectations. The cake looked absolutely amazing and tasted even better. They were very friendly and a pleasure to work with.
The Sweet Life Bakery made all of our cake dreams come true! We came at them with an unconventional shag style cake, and they absolutely KILLED it! Not to mention how fantastic it tasted. 10/10 would recommend! They were great to work with, and go above and beyond to make everything perfect! The best!!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED OUR WEDDING CAKE & GROOMS CAKE! My expectations were beyond exceeded by The Sweet Life Bakery. Not only did our cakes taste amazing - but they were so visually stunning! Some of my favorite wedding pictures. All of our guests raved about how good they both tasted. Jenny was so easy to work with and they have so many fresh filling and cake flavor options to choose from! I will 100% come back here for any cakes I need in the future. They did not disappoint!
Working with the bakery was very straight forward and easy! The cake was exactly what it was supposed to look like and it was beautiful and delicious. Everyone was telling me how delicious it was and even wanted to know what were the exact flavors we picked and where it was from!
We absolutely LOVED our cakes from Sweet Life Bakery. Not being a big sweets person, I really wasn't to sure what I wanted. Jenny was so helpful in my tasting explaining exactly what flavors went best with each other. The cake i dreamed of was exactly what they made! It was a 5 tear white cake, and it turned out BEAUTIFUL!! My now husband is obsessed with cookie cakes, so we decided to surprise him with a cookie cake to remember. Jenny and her team designed a 16 layer cookie cake with Mike the Tiger placed on top! Trust Jenny and Sweet Life Bakery for your big day!!
I had already worked with Jenny at Sweet Life, so I know her cakes and pastries are delicious. I showed her a few pictures of my ideas and she helped me create the most gorgeous cake. I absolutely loved the way it came out. Everyone raved about the flavor as well. I got traditional wedding cake, red velvet and chocolate layers with almond cream icing.... to die for!
We chose The Sweet Life Bakery for our wedding cake and for the groom's cake. When we went for a tasting she had many options to try of cake and filling which were all fantastic! Based off of everything I told Jenny I wanted for each cake, they absolutely nailed it! We wanted a very customized cake for my husband which replicated a toss game he created and I was blown away at such the amazing job they did. Our guests constantly came up to us throughout the night in awe that the cake looked exactly like his game! It came out even better than we could ever imagine! I highly recommend The Sweet Life Bakery, especially for custom cakes!!
Sweet Life Bakery was recommended to my husband & I by Compass Point owner Erin Steen, that’s where we had our wedding & reception at. Jenny who is the one that does wedding cakes was very easy to work with. I had gotten my wedding cake idea from Pinterest. I told her exactly how I wanted the cake and she did just that. My husband didn’t want a groom’s cake. But when we had a tasting with different flavors of cake and icing. He realized that he wanted a groom’s cake. The groom’s cake he chose was a Reese’s cake that was a two layer cake, with the top layer cake “looked like a bite was taken out of”. The Reese’s cake was more of a hit then the actual wedding cake. We would highly recommend Sweet Life Bakery.
Our wedding cake was AMAZING!!! We tried cake from several different bakeries and once we tried Sweet Life there was no question who was going to do our cake! They have so many custom flavors and we were able to get exactly what we wanted (seriously try the cookie dough and pecan praline butter creams). Jenny and her team were able to bring the exact cake that I envisioned to life. We can't wait to get another one for our 1 year anniversary.
Jenny was amazing to work with!! I decided to get a wedding cake two weeks before my wedding and she was so fast to work with and the best part- the cake was delicious!! All of my guests raved about my three-tier funfetti cake!!
I planned an out of town wedding and did not have time to do a taste test. Sweet life did an amazing job with my cake and it was so beautiful! Everyone especially loved their favors which were king cake cups.
After a horrible experience with a different baker, we had the best time planning our cake with Sweet Life! These sisters are not only super down to earth and helpful, but they got excited right along with us! The cake was delicious and gorgeous!!!!!
Jenny and her cakes are the sweetest! We did a small 6" vanilla cake with cream cheese frosting for our cake and it was EVERYTHING! Our guests raved about how delicious this sweet little cake was! We can't thank Jenny enough for what a nice job she did on our wedding cake. We plan to come back to New Orleans for future anniversary trips so we are going to make sure to stop in and get some more cake!
I don’t know where to begin to explain how much we absolutely LOVED & were so impressed by our wedding cake!!! From day 1, Jenny was more then helpful! I got married June 16th (i found out 2 wks before our wedding that drew & I are expecting our first baby! So it’s taken me some time to get around & do reviews, etc) but I was working 3 jobs, he 2, in order for us to pay for our wedding in cash, & meeting with vendors was next near to impossible, however, Jenny & I had probably sent over 130 emails!!! 😂 we had went to Haydels originally, Bc the price was closer to what we wanted to spend, but we had so many ideas for the cake, that they ended up throwing everything on a sheet for a mock run & it was terrible! When Jenny & I met, I had this calm feeling come over me! We told her what we wanted, or what we could start with, & then she just met us half way & said “oh what about doing this!”... & it pieced together perfectly! We def. do not regret spending what we spent on our cake!
We were so anxious to see & taste our cake the day of the wedding, & besides me being pregnant, when I walked in the venue & saw it for the first time, I teared up! It was beyond beautiful, & then the taste, to die for! They use the absolute best ingredients, the cakes are always so tasteful, yet fluffy & so light & airy! When she brought out the samples, we thought it was ice cream on the trey! 😂 We were a bit disappointed with our venue Bc we didn’t really get to eat an entire piece, but, we had plenty when we got home! 😋
They also made my husbands grooms cake, which was a crawfish pot with all the fixings, & again, that was a piece of work! The cakes are so beautiful & uniquely made, you don’t even want to eat them! Lol
I can’t say enough ab Jenny, Jessica, & the rest of their team for making this brides dream cake a reality! They will def have customers for life from us, I’ve told numerous ppl ab them & hopefully they have gone & got something, you will not be disappointed! They are extremely creative & helpful!
We are going to get our baby shower cake done from the sweet life as well.. as long as they can squeeze us in! 😛😍🍰
Thx, Jenny!
(It’s a shame you can’t add a picture!!)
Seriously amazing!! From the initial tasting to the wedding day, everything was smooth and executed wonderfully. The wedding cake and groom's cupcakes were delicious and absolutely beautiful!
Jenny and her staff are amazing! Hands down best cake you’ll ever have. Every guest at my wedding talked about her cake and how amazing it was! She’s a must to have at your wedding!
Having our cake made by The Sweet Life Bakery was one of the best (and by FAR the easiest!) decisions we made--I really can't recommend them enough!! As a destination bride, I was nervous about how the cake would turn out but the promptness and professionalism demonstrated by Jenny immediately put me at ease (and though we didn't take her up on the offer, she was willing to ship tasting samples all the way to Arizona!) Our semi-naked, two-tier cake with gold leaf was delivered to our reception venue on time and without issue. It was absolutely stunning, and the traditional almond flavor was perfect. We received so many compliments from our guests, especially the 10-and-under crowd (who are, of course, cake experts), and we will definitely be ordering cupcakes from The Sweet Life for every anniversary!!
Look no further than Sweet Life for your wedding cake needs. Jenny absolutely delivered three stunning flavor combos for our various cakes and tiers and nailed the interpretation of my chicken scratch design for a groom's cake for my husband. Jenny was super fun to work with during our consultation and made some great suggestions for flavors based on my Italian background. I can't wait for our anniversary just to have an excuse to get another cake from Jenny. Thank you so much for making our wedding day so delicious!
The Sweet Life made our wedding cake vision come to life!! Not only did it look pretty, but tasted amazing too! Jenny was extremely nice during our tasting and created exactly we we discussed! Pricing was very affordable as well! I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding cake!
Jenny and Staff were Wonderful. The cake for my daughters wedding was amazing, Jenny created exactly what was the cake 0f her dreams.
Jenny was incredible. We met one time and I gave her a Pinterest picture of what I wanted. My cake was amazing. We tasted other bakeries in New Orleans and hers tasted the BEST and was even a slightly better price. I didnt worry about delivery she had it all very well handled. I HIGHLY recommend the Sweet Life Bakery.
The most gorgeous cakes I have ever seen and they were even more delicious than they looked! We got so many compliments on our cake from our wedding guests. Extremely happy!!!
I cannot express how highly I would recommend The Sweet Life Bakery. They were super easy to work with, and everything was delicious. I'd had their cakes at several weddings for friends, so it was a no brainer to go to them for our wedding cake! We actually got several items from them for wedding festivities in addition to our wedding cake. We had not one single complaint about any of it. Everything was delicious and fresh. Our wedding cake was a topsy-turvy style cake - which was beautiful and an absolute hit! Everyone loved the shape and look. The taste of the cake was to die for. Even several days after the wedding, it was still fresh and delicious. 100% satisfied with The Sweet Life, and we would highly recommend them!
Sweet Life Bakery did an absolutely fantastic job with our wedding and grooms cake! They were both exactly what we imagined, and tasted fantastic. I think our wedding cake was one of the most photographed parts of the wedding! Thank you so much for your hard work and helping make our day so special!
These girls are God-sent. I consider myself a cake aficionado, and I live for all things sweet. It's an actual problem. The two most important elements of my wedding were the photographer and the cake. I was SO excited for cake tasting. Seriously, it was the one part of wedding planning that I was actually looking forward to. Unfortunately, as we met with all the "well known" bakeries in the city, I was consistently let down. All I wanted was a chocolate cake. I'm a chocoholic, and for as long as I can remember, I've wanted a chocolate wedding cake. Each bakery kept coming up with reasons why I couldn't have a chocolate cake (it's too moist/it won't hold up) and offering alternatives. They also kept pushing the traditional almond on me, telling me its what people want and expect at a wedding. Wedding cake is great, but that's just not what I wanted. The cake was so important to me, and I was getting so depressed. I actually cried once, because it seemed like no one was willing to listen to me to give me the cake of my dreams. Then I remembered that I had met this awesome baker at a Bridal Show who was friendly, engaging, and completely non-judgmental as I ate up every single one of her remaining samples. Our cake-tasting with Sweet Life did not disappoint. Where we only got to try one or two types of cake and icing at the other bakeries, we got to try FIVE different flavors with Sweet Life, including my beloved Devil's Food, and there were at least five icings. The meeting itself was also much warmer than anything we had previously experienced. Jenny sat down with us and constantly reaffirmed that a chocolate cake was no problem whatsoever. And it wasn't a chocolate cake substitute; it was the most delicious, moist, flat out yummy cake I had tasted in awhile (and again, I freaking love cake). What's more, Jenny told me that my cake could be MULTIPLE FLAVORS! Can you believe this? Their cakes could have been hideous for all I cared at that point, because she was so great and the cake was that good, but the designs were simply beautiful. She sat down and discussed the overall feel and vice of our wedding with us, and when I told her that all of my bridesmaids were wearing black lace, she immediately jumped up to show me an edible lace they were starting to use. Because I'm so minimalistic, she gave us some great ideas for decorating the cake without going over the top. When I walked into our reception, the cake literally took my breath away. I'm 100% going to use them for all my baking needs from this point forward. They're worth every penny.
My wedding cake was absolutely beautiful. It was exactly like I wanted and we got so many compliments. Thank you so much Sweet Life!!
The Sweet Life Bakery was recommended to us by our flower / decor vendor when we told them we wanted a cake that would be a showpiece and MAN were they a good call! They made us a three-tier beauty w/ different layer sizes and fondant techniques (marble, metallic finishes, etc).
Jenny here was a pleasure to work with and she recommended a chocolate cake with dark chocolate ganache and fresh raspberries -- All of our guests RAVED about how good it was. Between the reception and farewell brunch, the entire cake was eaten. Thankfully, Jenny told us that if we came back to town for our anniversary, she'd make us a small version to share on our one-year.
I can't say enough good about Nola Sweet Life Bakery. They're awesome!
We are so happy with our cakes from The Sweet Life! I was an out of town bride and Jenny was very responsive to all of my questions and concerns. She was so helpful and willing to do a peanut-free cake due to a fatal peanut allergy in the family. I didn't feel like I had to worry about anything! And the cakes were SO GOOD--we got red velvet, funfetti, and marble. Our grooms cake was cute and tasted great t00--exactly what we were looking for. A great experience overall and delicious cake!
Amazing wedding cake!! To be honest, we were about to go with another bakery before a friend suggested we meet Jenny. We already had a full schedule of meeting vendors and didn't want to try to cram in one more thing, but we did and we are so glad that we did. From the moment we met Jenny we were sold. She was so helpful, cares deeply about her work and delivering for her clients. More than five months later and our friends still rave about our cake. How elegant it was, how delicious is was, how the cake and the frosting were both equally exceptional!
Jenny understood right away what we were going for. Our wedding was at NOMA and everyone told us we had to put the cake at the top of the steps where it would be on display. We were hesitant of doing that, because we didn't want to have an over-the-top / look at our fancy cake type of wedding cake. Alas, there really was no other place to put the cake that would work. We said "Jenny. we need this cake to look elegant, but understated, to feed 240 people, but not look huge. most importantly, it needs to taste good!" She nailed it. A beautiful 5 layer cake that didn't look like five layers, with a phenomenal buttercream frosting with a simple texture to it.
We cannot thank The Sweet Life Bakery enough!!
She said she could create the cake I wanted from a picture and she did! The cake looked so beautiful sitting on top of the piece of oak surrounded by the moss with all of the flowers cascading down the side...perfect. Now for the grooms cake we opted for two, an Oreo and a Reeses cup cake. I didn't get to taste the Oreo, but that Reese' s cake was out of this world delicious, everyone raved about it and still talk about it. Jenny was so helpful when it came to figuring out flavors and size of the cake. The wedding and grooms cakes were one thing I didn't have to stress over. Thank you Sweet Life Bakery.
The Sweet Life initially did a cake for my wedding shower, and it was easily one of the most beautiful, let alone delicious cakes I've ever had. Their cakes are light, not overly sweet, and topped with what I consider the best icing ever created. I knew I needed them to do my grooms cake! I wanted something specialized (Mike the tiger, doctor themed) and Jenny made it come to life. She sat down with me and my mom over a tasting and brainstormed ideas. She helped us come up with the perfect cake, and even gave me multiple styles of cake so I could choose a price point. Day before the wedding as planned, I picked up the cake that they packaged up so well, and drove it across the causeway without any problems. I'm still getting compliments on the grooms cake because of how adorable the design was *and* how delicious it tasted, which is a hard combo to come by. Cannot recommend Jenny and The Sweet Life Bakery enough!
My Husband and I opted for cupcakes in place of a cake for our wedding. Each cupcake was absolutely perfect. We chose a variety of flavors for our guests to choose from and enjoy. All night I kept hearing how everyone loved the cupcakes and kept asking where we got them from so they can go order their own. Jenny was amazing to work with, I explained exactly what I wanted and she and set up our cupcake display wonderfully.
The Sweet Life was great! First - the cake was SO TASTY! I loved how many flavors they had available and the whipped buttercream is so light and creamy. The design was beautiful and my only regret is not being able to eat more in corseted wedding dress, haha! I can't wait to visit the shop on my visit trip to New Orleans.
We got our groom's cake from the Sweet Life Bakery. It was AMAZING! My husband (eeek!) is still talking about how good the red velvet was and how amazing our Star Wars themed cake came out. Jenny and Jess and their team did an absolutely fabulous job. I recommend them to everyone!!! We love you guys!!!!
Amazing. It looked and tasted better than we could have imagined or hoped for, and all the guests made a point to tell us how good the cake was. I will make a point to go back for any future occasion, and would highly recommend to anyone.
My cake was amazing and it turned out exactly like the picture I gave them! I am a destination bride and it was so easy to work with this bakery from far away through email. I got a cake tasting session when I was down in New Orleans before my wedding and all the cakes were excellent-it was so hard to choose one! I highly recommend this bakery-they were awesome and easy to work with. People loved the theme of my cake!
