    Beautiful Cake!

    The cake was stunning and the flavors were delicious! The owner was wonderful to work with, incredibly responsive and so detailed oriented. She checked in with us on everything to make sure the cake looked perfect. Very lucky to have her as part of our day!

    Beautiful and Delicious

    Paris did an amazing job designing and baking our wedding cake. She was extremely helpful at the beginning when we had no idea what to do flavor/design wise and really nailed our vision day of. She was very flexible and that helped immensely as we were from out of town. She really took the time to make sure our dream was achieved and made herself available to help answer our questions. She helped us with dietary restrictions and we were able to have both GF and regular flour cakes. Our tasting was thorough and truly helped nail down what we ultimately went with. Our cake looked very elegant and tasted incredible day of. We are very glad we had Paris' help for our wedding day.

    Stunning Work of Art

    Paris was awesome to work with! She was very responsive during the planning process, and delivered a beautiful and delicious cake on our wedding day. She made sure we bought the right size cake stand, but also has rental options for those interested. The cake was sturdy and held up nicely for the entire reception. We can't wait to enjoy the part that we froze in 1 year!

    Passionflower Cakes's reply:

    HI Lauren, Thanks so much for taking the time to write a review. I'm so happy you enjoyed your wedding cake.

    Beautiful and delicious!

    The wedding cake was something we were most looking forward to, and Paris absolutely delivered! Paris was great to work with, even when we asked for three different cakes with multiple cake types and icings for each layer. The tasting box was easy to navigate and so much fun to try all the amazing flavors she offers. Paris walked us through all the flavors and combinations we were interested in, offering helpful suggestions throughout. She was flexible with delivery since our wedding was outdoors on a hot day but we still wanted it to be on display. She used flowers from our florist and recreated our vision perfectly. The final product beautiful and delicious. Highly recommend!

    Passionflower Cakes's reply:

    I'm so glad you were happy with your cake. Your wedding flowers were beautiful! Thanks for taking the time to review.

    Paris is amazing!

    Our wedding cake was AMAZING. Paris did such a beautiful job with our wedding cake and the groom’s cake. She listened to us and gave some really good input. We had some really fun flavors and when we did the cake tasting, Paris added some flavors (like passion fruit) that we weren’t expecting and then ended up picking passion fruit as one of our cake flavors. Her cake is seriously the best stuff we’ve ever had. Book her for your wedding!

    Passionflower Cakes's reply:

    Thank you so much for writing a review. I'm really glad you loved the passion fruit cake, which is one of my favorites too!

    Delicious & beautiful wedding cake!

    Guests kept telling us the cake was the most delicious cake they’d ever had at a wedding!! Paris at passionflower cakes is a very talented baker. She offers gluten free options (without any extra costs) and offers a wide variety of flavors. So tasty AND beautiful (she matched my inspiration picture perfectly!). Still dreaming about the gluten free lemon cake, and I will be ordering a cake from her again in the future! Highly recommend!!

    Gorgeous and delicious!

    Paris at Passionflower was an exceptional partner in our wedding planning. Not only did she offer a plethora of tasting options, she worked carefully with me to understand my vision for our cake and helped me get a better idea of what the final product might look like. We were blown away to see the final product we were arrived at our reception tent day-of. All of the details matched my vision exactly. And perhaps most importantly, the cake was absolutely delicious! Every texture was perfect, and each bite offered a new wonderful flavor. I would be happy to work with Passionflower again.

    Best. Cakes. Ever.

    Paris was FANTASTIC!! We picked her because of her wide variety of interesting cake flavors (ok, tbh I was hooked immediately by the idea of a bourbon brownie cake) and frosting/filling options. She was great to work with - very informative and willing to answer questions while we narrowed down our choices. We LOVED our cakes - all 3 flavors! We got the bourbon brownie (of course) with chocolate raspberry ganache and cream cheese fillings, the carrot cake with cinnamon ginger cream cheese filling, and the red velvet with cream cheese frosting inside and white chocolate frosting on the outside. Each one got rave reviews! My favorite was (predictably) the chocolate. My husband liked the carrot cake best until he got his hands on the red velvet, and then it was all over. Consensus was that they were some of the best cakes any of us had ever had. Would recommend Paris 100%!!

    Passionflower Cakes's reply:

    Thanks so much for sharing your experience and your kind words. I'm so glad you loved ALL your flavors! You picked some great choices.

    Simple & Elegant (& Delicious)

    The cake was aaaamazing! It could not have been more beautiful or tasted more delicious! We had a 3-tier cake - 2 tiers: Pistachio & Blackberry Buttercream w/ blackberry compote; middle tier: Carrot Spice Cake & alternating layers of cream cheese buttercream & cinnamon spice buttercream. Absolutely perfect for our 76 guests. We kept the top tier to eat post wedding and still have an anniversary cake waiting to be eaten. Paris was more than helpful and was able to accomplish exactly what we wanted. The tasting was even top-notch. Would recommend her and her cakes 10/10!

    Amazing Wedding Cake

    Paris was absolutely wonderful to work with and designed the best looking and the best tasting wedding cake for us! We originally looked at a different bakery but weren’t impressed with the flavor. After reading some reviews on Wedding Wire, we decided to try out Paris and Passionflower Cakes and wow- we are so happy we found her! From the tasting (huge box of all different cakes and icings), to the quick responsiveness leading up to the wedding, to creating the design of the cake, to the day-of delivery, Paris was amazing! We went with alternating layers of almond and devils food cake with vanilla buttercream and it tasted heavenly. Our guests loved the cake and many asked for seconds! I highly recommend Passionflower Cake for any of your cake needs :) Thank you, Paris!!

    Passionflower Cakes's reply:

    Thanks Jordan! It was great working with you during the pandemic and I'm so glad you were able to have the wedding of your dreams.

    DELICIOUS Cake and so beautiful!

    Paris was so wonderful to work with. We got to plan our cake design and flavors throughout the process. All her frostings and cake bases were delicious! It was so hard to choose but we found the perfect combination! We did a divine bourbon brownie with vanilla bean buttercream and red velvet with nutella buttercream. Everyone loved our cake and got second helpings! Paris has such an artistic eye and designed our pastel cake with silver accents to perfection to fit our elegant Spring vineyard theme. We HIGHLY recommend Passionflower Cakes!!

    Thank you so much Leslie. I really enjoyed making your cake. I love any cake with color! And it was the perfect spring day. Thank you for taking the time to review.

    Wonderful!

    Our wedding was smaller and we were unsure about having a cake, but Paris was so helpful and gave great recommendations for the size and decorations. We are happy that we got a cake from Passionflower Cakes and our guest loved it!

    Thank you for taking the time to share your experience on Wedding Wire. I love any time I get to make sugar flowers so of course I loved making your cake!

    The BEST and most BEAUtIFUL cakes you'll ever have!!

    Working with Paris on our wedding cakes was, without a doubt, the best and easiest decision we made during our wedding plans. From our initial conversation and exchanging of ideas to the tasting, to the final execution, she made us feel incredibly well-supported with our extensive demands for our cutting cake and cupcakes.

    We had one small cutting cake topped with realistic sugar flowers to resemble the florals of our wedding. We also asked for four different cupcakes and butter cream pairings piped into the shape of four different flowers that we executed like a true master.

    Everyone raved about our delicious cakes because, not only did they taste incredible they were absolutely GORGEOUS. Do not hesitate- reach out to Paris and let her make your experience just as magical and delicious!!

    Passionflower Cakes's reply:

    Thanks so much for sharing your experience on Wedding Wire. What a gorgeous wedding. Congratulations again!!!

    Amazing Experience Despite the Pandemic

    Booking Paris to create our wedding cakes was one of the best things we did. Not only did she work with us to create a beautiful wedding cake, but she also brought my vision of a Taco Bell themed groom's cake to life! After our tasting, we cancelled every other tasting we had set up and booked her immediately. She is very responsive and will work to create whatever dessert set-up you can imagine.

    Passionflower Cakes's reply:

    Hi Sarah, Thank you so much for the nice review and for posting your photos! It was great working with you, even through everything 2020 threw at us. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving!

    Delicious & Beautiful Cakes!

    Our wedding cake & cupcakes were absolutely delicious! I provided Paris with examples of cakes that I liked from Pinterest and she made the cake look perfect! Everything from the tasting, consultation and other communication was very easy with Paris! She also did my husbands grooms cake and he was blown away by it! Thank you Passionflower Cakes!

    Amazing cakes!

    I can not recommend Passionflower Cakes enough, and neither could our guests! We received several "best cupcake I have every had" comments, and I couldn't agree more! From taste to decor, Paris's talent is beyond words. From start to finish, she is a joy to work with - you will not be disappointed!

    A delicious dessert selection that is beautiful and customizable

    Paris was amazing to work with. She offers many options of desserts and flavor combinations. She did a great job with taking ideas for my wedding cake decorations and making them a reality. She even made customized cookies for the rehearsal dinner. All of the desserts (brownies, cake truffles, mini cupcakes, cookies) and the cake were delicious.

    Beautiful Wedding Cake!

    From the initial phone consultation, to the cake tasting, to the wedding day, it was a pleasure working with Paris Levinovitz at Passionflower Cakes. My now-husband and I went into the process without having a good idea of what we wanted out of our wedding cake. By asking us questions about our wedding and showing us photographs of her past work to find out what we liked, Paris drew a mockup of a cake that seemed like a perfect fit. When we saw the cake at the wedding, it was even more beautiful than we anticipated. We received many compliments. We were grateful that Paris could be a part of our wedding and would recommend her.

    Passionflower Cakes's reply:

    Thanks so much Alyssa. I loved working with you to design such a unique (yet classic) cake. I really wish I could make sugar flowers all day long, they are so fun and beautiful.

    Most delicious cake ever!

    Passionflower Cakes is the only option for your wedding if you want a truly phenomenal tasting and looking cake! Paris was so kind and drew up my vision right in then and there at our first consultation. She presented me with an assortment of handmade and unique frostings and cake flavors to try and combine as I liked! We came up with a very unique pairing that is like no other wedding I have ever attended. She combined my dream styles and I am so excited and glad I chose her!

    Passionflower Cakes's reply:

    Thanks so much for sharing your experience and glad you enjoyed tasting everything. I'm excited to make your cake.

    The best cake I've ever had!

    I loved our cake. It was everything I wanted and more. We got married on May 4th (Star Wars Day!) and wanted part of the cake to be tied into Star Wars, as well as some of our other nerdy loves (Super Mario, Firefly, and Zelda). I was worried throughout the process of finding someone that the cake design would be more child's birthday party than wedding cake- Paris knocked it out of the park. She was very responsive throughout the design process. The cake was so tastefully decorated and was everything we wanted and more. The flavors were great and the cake was moist. My (now) husband and I have very different tastes in cake flavors and Paris was able to make it work. We did a layer of red velvet with a Mexican chocolate filling, and two smaller layers of coconut cake with key lime filling. We got compliments on both! The only down side is that we forgot our top layer so we will definitely be getting in touch in the future to have some for our anniversary!

    Passionflower Cakes's reply:

    WOW, Thanks so much Jacki! It was such a great project to make it both "nerdy" and beautiful. It will be one of my most memorable cakes from this wedding season. I can't wait to make your anniversary cake next year.

    Best cake ever--can we get married again?

    Cake tasting was the part of wedding planning my husband and I looked forward to the most--and Paris, the owner of Passionflower Cakes, went above and beyond our expectations at the initial meeting and at the wedding itself. Her cakes are gorgeous but more importantly they are mouthwateringly delicious. There were no leftovers aside from our anniversary layer, which my husband and I finished a couple days after the wedding because we just couldn't wait a year to eat it. We got three smaller cakes in almond, passion fruit, and chocolate... Our guests loved them all!

    Passionflower Cakes's reply:

    Thank you so much Christina. I loved making ALL your cakes. Multiple cakes are so fun. Your photos are beautiful, too!

    Beautiful wedding cake and absolutely delicious!

    We had Paris do our wedding cake for our wedding last Saturday. We knew passionflower cakes was the one when my then fiancé and I had a hard time narrowing down flavors to our favorite ones since we liked so many of them. From the planning to payment to day of delivery it could not have been easier. She made our wedding cake dreams come alive and was more than we could ever imagine. The cake was absolutely beautiful and delicious! We ordered a small cake that incorporated things we both love- my love of Disney and my husbands love of firefighting. The cake was cookies and cream with a strawberry buttercream, so freaking delicious!!! If we have another need for a cake in the future Paris would be our go to!

    As beautiful as it was delicious!!!

    Planning our wedding cake with Paris was one of our most memorable highlights of wedding planning. We met with her exactly a year before our wedding for a cake tasting. We discussed how many guests we were expecting, tiers we wanted and if we had a theme for the wedding. By the way, our theme was a "soft" travel theme. Soft meaning we didn't want to throw the theme in our guest's faces. She nailed it perfectly!!

    We spent a little over an hour and half at her shop discussing design and tasting. I can't remember all the cakes and icings but they ranged from: passion fruit, chocolate, semi-sweet chocolate, bourbon brownie, vanilla, marble and so many others. The icings ranged from: nutella, chocolate, lemon, raspberry, vanilla and etc. It was a lot of fun mixing and matching, and was great that we had so many options.

    We decided going with Passion Fruit Cake with Vanilla Buttercream Filling for one of the tiers. For the other two tiers we had two flavors in one Bourbon Brownie and Devil's Food Chocolate Cake with Raspberry Filling and Nutella Buttercream Filling. They were amazing and stayed delicious and moist the whole night.

    As for the design, Paris gave us seven options to chose from. She had sketched them out for us and included notes and cost. It made it so easy to choose and very comforting to have a visual beforehand.

    Thank you so much Paris for making our wedding cake so memorable, delicious and fantastic. Our guest are still raving about it. We can't wait for our 1 year anniversary so we can eat it all over again!
