highly recommend Vanessa’s cakes. She was extremely professional from the beginning to the end. When I first contacted her about my wedding cake I was not sure of what I wanted an...
d kind of lost in terms of what is trending nowadays. Vanessa was very helpful and helped come up with the best cake idea. On my wedding day, I didn’t have to worry about anything, Vanessa was there on time and the cake looked nothing but PERFECT! Finally, not only she provided a perfect looking cake exactly how I wanted, but it also tasted amazing! Definitely the service that I got the most compliments from guests. Vanessa is the absolute best and I highly recommend her services.

From our very first tasting with Vanessa, we knew we had to book her. Vanessa Placido Cakes made the most amazing wedding cake for us!
We chose a three-tier design with three dif...
ferent flavors: vanilla cake with strawberry jam and cream, vanilla with dulce de leche (a massive crowd favorite), and a rich chocolate tier. Every single layer was unbelievably delicious.
The cake wasn’t just gorgeous to look at, it was truly one of the best-tasting cakes we’ve ever had. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about it. We originally planned to save our top tier, but it was so good that we ended up eating half of it the week of the wedding… so the other half is now in the freezer!
Vanessa nailed both the flavor and the design. We couldn’t have been happier and would recommend her in a heartbeat!
