"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"
"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."
"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 "
"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"
"Glass Slipper Gourmet is first class! Every event they are involved in is a success!"

What a pleasure it was to work with Kelly. We had several tastings with other vendors, and she outshined them all not only in flavor but also in her creativeness with flavors. She made us the most delicious apple spice cake for our wedding. Not only that, but it was beautiful to boot! She made it exactly how we pictured it. I didn't want to cut into it, but when we did, we weren't disappointed and neither were our guests.

Kelly does AMAZING artwork with her cakes. And not only do they look like works of art, but they taste outstanding! It was important to us, our cake taste unique and delicious and it was just that. We provided a picture of what we wanted it to look like and described our style and Kelly helped it come to life. She was also very detailed and easy to work with. Tons of flavor options.

Planning our Clayton wedding was difficult; I was living in Honolulu and had to research all of my vendors on the internet. Needless to say this was difficult because of the time difference and the fact that some businesses didn't check their emails....then I found Kelly at the Glass Slipper Gourmet.
She IMMEDIATLEY emailed me back with quotes, suggestions, and even various meeting times. I emailed her a couple of pics of cakes I liked, along with my wedding "flower" (dusty miller), and she combined them all. Very cool.
When I met Kelly for a testing she brought like 20 different flavor combos. I was fat and happy by the time it was over - her cakes were top notch! She was also so fun and likeable; she didn't rush the meeting, offered suggestions, LISTENED, and even sketched out a rough draft. The price was only about $150 more than Safeway! For Fondant! Jeesh, why on earth would you go anywhere else??
Kelly was my favorite vendor, and honestly, when I look back on my wedding planning, she is the first person I think of. BTW, of all the decorations and vendors at my wedding, the cake got the best reviews. Perfect :)

The Glass Clipper was fabulous. I ordered a wedding and groom's cake and cookies for the favors. Everything was wonderful. Everyone loved the cakes. The groom's cake was in a shape of a fireman's hat and the cookies were also a fireman's hat. Everything tasted fresh and Kelly was wonderful to work with. I would highly recommend the Glass Slipper to everyone!!!!

Glass Slipper Gourmet was great! The cake tasted amazing and looked beautiful. She was able to listen to what my husband and I wanted (and we wanted two completely different things) and design a cake that we both loved.

Glass Slipper Gourmet responded with the following comments:

Kelly at Glass Slipper Gourmet designed the cake of our Bride's dreams. It was so very special. And the night of the tastings, we couldn't believe how many to choose from, and what a hard decision it was. Then, later on we threw in another small Groom's cake and she accommodated us without a complaint. The cake was exactly as designed, and tasted like heaven! It was delivered with time to spare, and she set it all up. The cost was great compared to other bakers we had looked at too! What more could you ask for? Highly recommended!

Our experience was fabulous from start to finish ? the personalized service was unmatched and we had beautiful and yummy cake!

We had both our wedding cake and our rehearsal dinner cake made (and delivered). The rehearsal dinner cake was a surprise for my husband and had a sculpture of the LOVE statue in Philadelphia (our new home)?everyone was in awe.

I wish we could ship a cake to Pennsylvania?actually maybe I should ask!

Glass Slipper Gourmet responded with the following comments:

Hi Anne!!
Thank you for the wonderful comments! How is PA? Hope you and Sunil are very happy there! (no... sorry, not delivering inter-state (yet!) lol! )

When my husband and I met Kelly (of Glass Slipper Gourmet), we found her to be very professional, very flexible, and very enthusiastic about her craft. She worked with us to incorporate our cake design, and the tasting was fabulous! So when the wedding day arrived, we thought, "oh it's not a big deal, we know what the cake will look like." However, we were speechless when we saw our cake, it was gorgeous and more than we could've dreamed of! So much so, that it was almost a shame to have to cut the cake and serve it...

But boy, if the aesthetics of the cake was breathtaking, the cake it self was unbelievably delicious! It's very hard to think of food when you are the bride, but I actually made sure I had a piece of each of the flavors our cake had!

Kelly is an amazing artist and an amazing chef! She is creative and very pleasant to work with; I highly recommend Glass Slipper Gourmet!

Glass Slipper Gourmet responded with the following comments:

Thanks so much Margaret!! I am thrilled you were so pleased with your experience and it was my pleasure to work with you!! Congrats!

In meeting with Kelly, she was very prepared and came with lots of pictures of her cakes to get some ideas, and several cakes to taste, all which were very fresh and great, making it very hard to chose from. I showed Kelly my wedding colors and a deion of what I wanted. Kelly was able to creat a virtual mockup of what the cake would look like.
On the day of the wedding, the cake arrived just like the virtual one that she created. It was absolutely beautiful, and tasted great. I received many compliments from the guests.
Kelly is very professional, friendly, helpful, and makes great cakes. I highly recommend Glass Slipper Gourmet.

We absolutely loved working with Glass Slipper Gourmet (Kelly)! She really lets you be a part of the process in choosing the right type of cake for you in terms of flavor and design. We thought that we were going to do cupcakes until we met with her. She is also highly flexible and extremely reasonable. She is one of the best choices that we made for the wedding and we highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a beautiful cake that is super delicious. I think that we had at least 20 people that told us it was the best wedding cake they have ever tasted.

We loved the cake Kelly made for our wedding. Not only did it look wonderful but it was absolutely delicious! From the moment we met her, she was very helpful, extremely friendly and created a design that captured both me and my husband's vision. She brought many different flavors for the cake testing so we got to really pick out what we liked best. Kelly delivered the cake on time and even helped set up/decorate our cake table. We couldn't have been happier as how the cake looked and tasted. We definitely recommend her service!

The cake flavors were amazing... we picked out two different cake flavors, irish cream for the tiered cake and cappucino for the flat sheath...we had lots of compliments and everybody could not get enough of it!!! Im glad we chose Glass Slipper Gourmet. Kelly is awesome! Now i have to come up with an excuse to have some of Kelly's amazing cake!
