Perfect minimalist, modern cake

Sweets by E came recommended to us by our caterer due to her being a local, small business owner – a rarity in the DC wedding scene, apparently. We reached out to Evan about 5 months before our wedding to plan a tasting and design consultation. After an hour debating which flavor was the best, we chose the Royal Wedding with a white and lavender buttercream. On our wedding day, Evan arrived early, finished decorating the cake with flowers from our florist, and put our cake topper on before she ran off to another wedding. Despite Evan’s busy schedule, we never felt secondary. She answered all of our questions and even a last second, surprise request by the bride – a chocolate cupcake for the groom. Evan is an amazing, detail-oriented baker and we highly recommend her!

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.
