Joeleen was so easy to work with and her cakes are SO good. She had a big selection of fillings and let us pick whatever we wanted. She made suggestions but was very open to our design and mixing fillings up. We were completely happy with our wedding cake.

Joeleen made a beautiful wedding cake for my wedding. The design of the cake was exactly what I wanted and what we had discussed. It was simply breath taking!!! I loved the color of cream ribbon she made and it perfectly matched the flowers on the cake. She is very easy to work with and gave me some great advise.

Joeleen also had wide variety of flavors and I loved all of the smaples tried. I loved the fact that she was ready to provide samples when we showed up on time for tasting. My husband and I chose tiramisu cake for our wedding and it was one of the best cake I had. I was afraid that the sample we had and the actual wedding cake won't taste the same but my wedding cake was very tender and delicate in flavor. My guests loved the cake and many people got more than 1 slices.

If you want stylish wedding cake which actually tastes good, A sweet design is the one!!

You will not believe how amazing Joeleens cakes are...you have to go in for a tasting! I had her cake at a friends wedding and then mine. People kept asking me, "where did you get your cake, it was so moist!" I love her and would go to her again when I need a cake for any occasion.

Our wedding cake from A Sweet Design was everything we could have asked for and so much more!! Owner Joeleen was such a pleasure to work with. She is so sweet and was always responsive to phone calls and emails, and her creativity and experience really helped us turn our idea into a beautiful reality. All of their cake flavors are delicious, especially the dulce de leche... the best cake I've ever tasted!! A Sweet Design even made an adorable bride and groom cake topper out of fondant for us that was a real crowd pleaser. We're still receiving calls from guests telling us it was the best cake they've ever had and raving about how beautiful the cake and cake topper were. As if all that weren't enough, Joeleen even gave us a bag of goodies at the wedding, including incredible peanut butter cookies and brownies that you can buy at her bake shop, for us to enjoy later. I also love the fact that A Sweet Design will make a mini cake at your 1 year anniversary so that you don't have to try to freeze the top tier of your wedding cake. I cannot say enough good things about Joeleen and A Sweet Design, and I highly recommend them to everyone!!

Joeleen makes beautiful and delicious cakes! Our cake came out better then the samples we tried. We were lucky enough to get two days of samples, and we ended up with a 3 tier cake of mint chocolate chip and tiramisu. Our guests complimented us on the taste and the design of the cake. Joeleen can work with your budget and is great with design. She makes great suggestions, is totally professional, has a great sense of humor, and knows her stuff!

No joke, we heard "the wedding cake was worth every calorie" a number of times. We already knew we loved the cakes from A Sweet Design, but our guests confirmed it. I have pictures of some of them with two and three pieces. Everybody loves this cake. We were super excited to tell everyone about our cake and I think that we built it up, but it lived up to the hype. Joeleen and her team set us up with the most fantastic cake we have ever seen. It was unique and special and we loved it. They also did our groom's cake, which was gorgeous. It was a poker table with an Ace High Royal Flush in hearts across the top. It tasted amazing as well! We did specialized flavors and it was still less expensive than the other bakers we tried. And we tried them all. You cannot go wrong with A Sweet Design!

Joeleen made a wonderful cake for my May 23, 2009 wedding! Her decorations on the cake were so beautiful and classy, and the cake tasted sooooo good! We had two flavors because we couldn't decide between the red velvet and the chocolate with oreo filling, which we had tried at the cake tasting. The cake was very tasty and moist - my husband and I were very pleased and our guests loved the cake. Joeleen is such a sweetheart and very easy to work with. During the planning process, I changed one of my colors and she was very flexible and amenable to my needs. She also called me a week before just to make sure there weren't any last minute changes to the cake. Her prices are very reasonable too and she gives you a free cake on your anniversary so that you don't have to save the top layer in the freezer. I would recommend every bride get their cake from A Sweet Design!!

Joleen at A Sweet Design can and will create anything you desire! She is so talented and such a pleasure to work with! I was first led to A Sweet Design after reading many fabulous reviews on this same site. When I arrived at the shop I was pleased to see how colorful, quaint, and cute it was! I began describing my dream cake to Joleen as she sketched out the design. We decided on cupcakes displayed on a gorgeous square tiered cupcake stand. I had seen many other cupcake stands that were flimsy and or cheap looking and could not accommodate a large number of cupcakes, but Joleen had a one-of-a kind stand that can be decorated however you choose and make the cupcakes appear stacked just like a real cake. I began tasting many wonderful flavors, all were moist and delicious. I was particularly impressed by the white cake with mango-filling.(I chose this flavor for the top tier, bride & grooms cake). Joleen was professional and helpful in all of our meetings. On the wedding day she arrived on time and set up the most beautiful cupcake display ever! I was so pleased, it was exactly what I had hoped for! Truly I was not too concerned with how they tasted (I'm a visual person who is much more concerned with presentation) but I was so delighted to find out my guests were LOVING the chocolate and vanilla cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. I kept hearing how moist they were so I decided I had to try for myself. I took one bite and was amazed! They were even more delicious than I remembered from the tasting! Yum! I am so glad I chose A Sweet Design. Joleen is easy to work with and her pricing is SO reasonable for the quality she delivers! Her work is stunning!

Excellent, fabulous, wonderful and the list will go on. Joeleens cakes are amazing I would suggest you have to go in for a tasting. In the ceremony all our guests kept asking about the cake and the innovative creations. Believe me the cake was wonderful and Joeleens did great job. She paid attention to every thing that we wanted. Apart from that her creativity did a miracle in our wedding. The cake was moist and super tasty.

Jolene created a unique and delicious cake for our wedding. I wanted something modern with peacock feathers and my beautiful crystal cake topper. Everyone raved about how tasty the cake was and I can't wait for our 1 year anniversary cake when we can try it again.

Very satisfied, very happy and would definitely recommend. We had a 4 layer cake - absolutely TO DIE FOR. I didn't get to eat anything on the day of the wedding, HOWEVER, made sure I had cake. Everything I was looking for, Joeleen did.

1. Design - I went in not knowing exactly what I wanted but we spoke about the colors, theme, our personality, etc., and made a perfect design. She is very knowledgeable in sizes, unique shapes, materials she can use, themes she can cater to and will help you come up with the best design just for you.

2. Taste - Out of all the flavors, fillings and icings she can do, we chose 3 different pairings for each of our layers and chose our favorite for the top layer. We had Fruit filling with Rum Cream on White Cake, Vanilla Bean Cream inside Red Velvet and Black & White Cake with Coffee Filling. It was amazing and delicious and everyone LOVED it. You also don't have to save the top layer because she gives you a FREE Cake to enjoy on your anniversary!

3. Professionalism - She is super busy but makes time to answer all of your questions and makes sure she has all the details down. They delivered on time, in perfect shape and always kept to all of her appointments and her word.

I plan to use A Sweet Design for all of my party needs whenever I need Cake. She does Cupcakes, too.

A Sweet Design made our cake for our wedding last March 14, 2009. It was the most delicious cake i ever had. Joeleen the owner is so easy to work with, she is so talented! My husband's relatives asked us if we have more cake left the day after the wedding :)
I highly recommend A Sweet Design for all the brides out there.
