The Sweetest Ending to Perfect Night

Evan was an absolute delight to work with! She took the time to understand our needs and made sure we were getting what we needed and what we wanted. She was transparent about everything we would need for the size and type of wedding we hosting, and from just a few inspiration photos, she crafted a cake that surpassed all expectations! Delivery and setup were flawless, and she went above and beyond by coordinating with our florist to ensure the cake florals were arranged perfectly.

The cake was not only stunning but also incredibly delicious! My husband and I were amazed—this was not the usual overly sweet wedding cake that prioritizes looks over taste. Even guests who aren’t typically fans of sweets were raving about how fantastic the cake was.

We couldn’t have asked for a sweeter ending to our night. For a cake that looks and tastes incredible, choose Sweets by E and experience it for yourself!

The Perfect Wedding Cake!

Our wedding cake was exactly what we were hoping for. We sent Evan some inspiration pictures and she helped us translate those pictures into the simple, yet elegant wedding cake of our dreams. She offers a wide variety of flavor/icing/filling options and it was a blast to taste our way through our top choices. Not only was the wedding cake beautiful to look at, but it was delicious too! Evan was easy to work with and the quality of her work speaks for itself. Can't recommend her enough!

So yummy & delish

Absolutely DELISH! Evan was so great to work with (a JMU alum like myself!) We were able to sample a variety of different flavors, as well as she made our sweet dreams come true. Our guests raved about every cupcake flavor - there were no leftovers! Flavors: Lemon Cake with Raspberry Buttercream, Cinnamon-Brown Sugar Cake with Vanilla Buttercream, Chocolate Cake with Cookies & Cream Buttercream, Red Velvet Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting. Cupcakes were so easy for our guests to grab and enjoy it was perfect. We had a Funfetti cake with vanilla buttercream sweetheart cake that was the most perfect size for us to cut and take pictures with, as well as safe for our anniversary. SO yummy! 10/10!

I've had the privilege to work with Evan for some styled wedding shoots and a styled dinner! Her cakes are incredibly delicious and beautiful! My wife and I just had our 6th wedding anniversary and we ordered a 6 inch naked cake with flower accents and it turned out amazing and we loved it! Evan is very talented. She has great personality. Her passion on what she do shows in her work.
