A Sweet Design is an Exceptional Cake by Design business. They exceeded our expectations by providing us with a wedding cake of excellent quality that was not only beautiful, but delicious as well. The price for the cake was excellent in comparison to other cakes that were overpriced and compromised the taste of their cakes with lavish decorations. The owner of A Sweet Design was in one word "Exceptional." She was very attentive to detail and offered suggestions on the cake creation. She was flexible and always available to make any last minute changes that might have been necessary. The result was a "Dream" wedding cake that my husband and I as well as our wedding guests will never forget!

Exquisite crafstmanship at a terrific price. And the taste was to die for. Joeleen is very talented and can work with you to create the cake of your dreams. If you bring her a picture there's a good chance she can copy it. My cake was decorated with a metallicy dust and tons of fresh flowers. Tons and tons of compliments. All 155 slices were devoured.

A Sweet Design was amazing!!!! Joleen did a wonderful job designing the cake and also went out of her way to make sure the flowers were perfect on the cake. She had to deal with my florist from hell, unfortunately, but paid out of her pocket to make sure she had enough flowers for my cake. The cake tastest wonderful and I received many compliments from my guests. I would highly recommend A Sweet Design to anyone!!! :-)

The owner Joeleen Medina was attentive, kind, funny, professional, and made the most gorgeous cake ever. Not only was it beautiful to look at, it tasted fantastic. Our guests are still commenting on how good it was! She not only does Wedding cakes, but lots of other events as well. The cost is very affordable and I highly recommend this business.

overall, great!
jolene is great to work with. always positive, friendly and seems to remember who you are!
i recommend her completely, her cakes are beautiful and taste amazing.

i only gave her 4.5 out of 5 for service because i dont think my cake turned out exactly as we had discussed. my cake had a different icing pattern than we had agreed upon, but evenso, it looked absolutely beautiful!
the 3/5 for value for cost is because she is pricey. when it comes to weddings, you get what you pay for. if you get a cheap baker, it will look cheap. her cakes look beautiful, but they dont come cheap! evenso.... my cake from her cost more than the dj!

Joeleen was wonderful to work with. She sat with us and designed the cake exactly as we wanted it. It looked perfect! She was open to ideas, and offered great suggestions. The cake tasting was so much fun! She gives you lots of choices and the combinations she offers are unique and VERY tasty. She was a pleasure to work with, and the cake turned out fantastic!

I would highly recommend her!

We had visited about six "recommended" wedding cake specialists prior to arriving at A Sweet Design in Granada Hills. The specialists that had been suggested to us lacked creativity, their recipes were less than drab, and the cost was not in alignment with what they presented to us. We had decided that if we did not find what we wanted after visiting A Sweet Design, then we would just do without a wedding cake.

We made an appointment with the owner, Joeleen Medina. We were cheerfully greeted, and when we sat down and explained what we were looking for, we felt that for the first time, someone was actually listening to us. Joeleen brought out quite a few different types of cakes, frostings and fillings for us to taste. Our eyes immediately lit up after tasting them because one was better than the next.

Joeleen spent as much time with us as we needed to ensure that we were happy with the choices that we made. As we were leaving, after placing the order for our wedding cake, my future husband said, "Now I'm excited."

The cake we ordered was a custom design and very detailed. When the cake arrived the day of our wedding, we just stood there looking at it. It was exactly how we had pictured it, and our guests are stilling raving about how unique and delicious it was. Joeleen is a master baker and very knowledgeable about her craft.

We are sold on A Sweet Design, and would hardily recommend them to everyone.

First and foremost, Joeleen's wedding cakes are the most delicious cakes that we have ever tasted. We had already booked a cake 3 months before our wedding and decided to back out on the cake one month before our wedding to go with Joeleen. She was extremely professional, responded very quickly to our phone calls and emails, and was extremely pleasant to deal with. We met her at a wedding expo, booked an appointment a week later, and 3 weeks from our wedding we ordered a wonderful cake that all our guests loved! There was actually no cake left, and several of our guests went back for seconds. We were lucky that we asked for a 4th tier, which we were able to take home with us and enjoy again the next day (we couldn't wait a whole year to eat it!). Joeleen and a Sweet Design will be our first choice in cakes for all occasions, and we will recommend her to all our friends and family.

Joeleen was amazing. She understood our desire to have a great cake, but not spending a small fortune on it. She worked with us to find the perfect balance between the two. In the end, everyone raved about the cake and asked who the baker was. It was one of the best parts of our wedding day.

Joeleen is amazing! She did such a wonderful job on my wedding cake and I still have people tell me how delicious it was. She really went above and beyond to make sure my cake reflected the vibe of my wedding and it was absolutely perfect. She took such good care of me and I couldn't have been happier!

I found Joeleen on the internet and not only did she come through with a beautiful and delicious wedding cake, but she also recommended her friend who's a florist and she was amazing, too!

The cake looked exactly the way we wanted it, and tasted even better than it looked. There were no unhappy guests at my wedding, and not a single sliver of cake left at the end of the night.

I highly recommend Joeleen and A Sweet Design for any cake you might need. Her quality, service and prices are unbeatable.

I love Joeleen! She's great! Very professional, very helpful and accommodating!! I've placed several orders from her. Be it for a birthday, baby showers, wedding showers, Valentine's day. It's always good and very nice. The Valentine's Day event at work was a great success and I've received so many compliments! I highly reccomend "A Sweet Design" for any of your cake needs!!

After shopping around we knew A Sweet Design was the bakery for us. We were so happy and impressed by Joeleen that we told another couple about her. They are getting married in July and already booked with her.
