As a Wedding and Event Florist I have seen my fair share of wedding cake disasters. Cakes sliding apart, icing so rough it looks like some one put it on with a fork, Cakes that have not cooled and the icing is running off the cake, and last, cakes arriving half way through the reception or worse not at all. These are just a few of the things I have experienced over the years with less than professional bakers. The Glass Slipper Gourmet is certainly not in that catagory. Kelly takes such pride in her work and it shows. The first time I saw Kelly's cake I knew she would be somone I could refer my brides to. It is obvious that Kelly's cakes are perfectly constructed. This is so important and where many other bakers fall short. The cake may have looked great in the bakery but it could not withstand the drive to the wedding. Kelly's cakes are beautiful and all though I have not tasted her cakes,I know that anyone who can create such a structurally sound and beautiful cake would never fall short in the taste catagory. Kelly is a true professional and deserves your consideration for your wedding.
Glass Slipper Gourmet is first class! Every event they are involved in is a success!
It is always an extreme pleasure to work with Kelly, she is one of our favorite vendors because of her professionalism and she is truly a cake guru :-) Her creations are YUMMY works of art and her cakes/cupcakes are always SO beautiful. Kelly hits the mark and creates every cake exactly how the clients envision it to be. You can't go wrong with Kelly - Glass Slipper Gourmet. Lea Mathewson Simply Sparkling Events
YUMMY is a word best used to describe Kelly's delicious cakes! I met Kelly a few years back when I was looking for someone to create my own wedding cake and fortunately I found Glass Slipper Gourmet. Since then I've establish a great relationship with Kelly and she has provided the cake for several of my past wedding client's, who have all been happy with her work. Her designs just keep getting better and the taste of her yummy cakes never get old. If you want a yummy good looking cake, then search no more, Glass Slipper Gourmet is your gal! Michelle Barrionuevo-Mazzini MB Wedding Design & Events
I enjoy working with Kelly from Glass Slipper Gourmet, because she goes to the next level with my clients. She listens to their needs and wants and designs a masterpiece. During most cake tastings most vendors let you try 6 flavors but Kelly gives you much more than that especially with some unique flavors. I enjoy working with her. Cecy Exquisite Events

Frequently Asked Questions for Wedding Cake
Besides cakes, what other types of desserts do you provide?
Cupcakes, Groom's Cake
 
What additional services do you provide?
Consultations, On-site Delivery, On-site Setup, Tastings
 
Do you provide customary cakes, such as Croquembouche?
No
 
Are you licensed by the state health department?
Yes
 
Do you offer private tastings or open house tastings?
Yes, complimentary consultation and tastings are encouraged for wedding cake orders. Take advantage of the free in-home service I also offer (local only of course!)
 
What are your tasting hours?
I am flexible and try to best accomodate your busy schedule. I can meet weekdays and evenings and saturday.
 
Describe how you price, such as by slice or by tier, for your cakes?
Pricing is per serving and starts at $5.00 for buttercream icing with a simple style of decoration. You can decrease your overall price per serving by using a backup sheet cake with a smaller display cake
 
Does the price include the top tier of the cake?
Yes, the top tier is included in the estimate of servings. If you plan to keep it you would need to account for it's size.
 
Do you offer custom cakes, or do you work with pre-designed styles?
Both. You can choose from a vast portfolio of designs I've already done, bring me a photo or drawing of something else you've found, or we can create a custom design of your own. Things like invitations, color scheme, venue/site, dress details (yours and/or the BMs) are all helpful sources of inspiration for your custom cake.
 
What (if any) special ingredients, such as fresh fruits or farm-fresh butter, do you use in your cakes?
I use fresh, natural ingredients as much as possible. Fresh eggs, cream, butter, high quality chocolates and nuts, etc. all make a huge difference in the final outcome.
 
On average, how far in advance of the event do you prepare the cake?
Generally, its a 3-4 day process. Your cake is never frozen and will taste fresher than anything you've ever had!
 
How many cakes do you schedule for a typical weekend?
Usually only 1 order per weekend so that I can dedicate my efforts to your cake, but if the order is small I may accept another order.
 
Will you work with the client's florist to garnish the cake?
Yes. I prefer to place the flowers on the cake as you and I have discussed how to arrange them on the cake. I always recommend the florist to provide the same flowers, so that everything will match. If you are not using a florist I am happy to provide the cake flowers at an additional cost.
 
What (if any) cake accessories, such as a cake stand or cake cutter, do you rent out?
I have a variety of cake stands available to rent and am ready and willing to help you come up with cost effective and creative ways of displaying your cake at little or no cost.
 
Do you offer delivery? If yes, how much is your average delivery fee?
Yes, delivery is highly recommended! Traveling with a cake this special is stressful! Local (concord, pleasant hill, martinez, walnut creek) delivery is no charge. Outside this area is quoted based on milege and estimated time of travel.
