My husband's brother used the Sweet Life for his wedding cake and highly recommened them. Norm was wonderful when it came time for helping us choose the design for the cake. I couldn't be happier with our cake. It was beautiful... and delicious!!!! I would recommend them to all my friends.

We were referred to The Sweet Life by another cakery we'd contacted who could not make our date. And what a blessing that was! Though we tasted many cakes throughout our planning process -- both at wedding shows and at private bakeries -- there was really no comparison. Norm & Zane (who, incidentally, we've enjoyed watching on The Food Network) are the BEST! We absolutely LOVED the cake -- which was as beautiful (perfectly recreated from a photo I'd provided) as it was delicious. It was so gorgeous, in fact, that we hardly wanted to cut into it...but we're so glad we did! Our guests and we enjoyed three different flavors and fillings to include chocolate with hazelnut, white with fresh strawberry, and red velvet with cream cheese. Mmmmm!!! My only concern with The Sweet Life was with communication. Norm was at times difficult to reach and no "out of office" message (e.g., when out of town and/or on vacation), leaving me a little anxious during the planning process. Still, everything was as promised and I could not have been more pleased with the end result. Thanks, Norm!

We first found Norman Davis at a bridal showcase and loved his cakes - they're light, not too sweet, and really moist. We booked him about six months before the wedding and were impressed that his prices were so reasonable (especially considering that he's one of those big Food Network challenge chefs now). We picked the French vanilla cake with raspberry filling and were not disappointed...there were no leftovers at the wedding. Norman also made a surprise Star Trek themed chocolate groom's cake that tasted even better.
The only reason that Norman didn't get a 5 for everything is that he can be pretty tough to get a hold of. It can be a little unnerving when you're getting everything ready and not hearing from him at all, but he's great if you manage to discuss things with him face-to-face. In any case, he's totally professional and you can trust that he knows what he's doing...I had no idea what the cake was going to look like when he made it and it turned out beautifully. If you want a gorgeous cake that tastes great, I would recommend the Sweet Life.

We first encountered Sweet Life at the Bridal Showcase in fall of '06 and loved Norman's cakes from the start! After the Bridal Showcase, it was a matter of trying to remember which cake guy he was out of the ten THOUSAND cake guys we saw at the Patriot Center. When we finally went in for our tasting with Norman, we knew as soon as the first piece hit our mouths... this was our guy.
Norman's got a great array of pictures of cakes he's done in the past and it seems like he can pretty much do anything! Like our florist, we pretty much just told Norman what our colors and (not too flashy) budget were and told him to work some creative magic for us. Our cake turned out looking really elegant and pretty and I couldn't have dreamed up a better design! Not to mention tasty - I know everyone loved that cake!
The reason I gave him 3 stars out of 5 for responsiveness is because it was a little difficult getting Norman to write back to my emails or to call me back after I left a message on his voicemail, but I got a hold of him whenever I really needed him. :)
This guy is worth every penny!

The cake was delicious! The design, however wasn't exactly what I asked for. My modern asian motif somehow acquired babys breath and big bulky rose buds...not at all what I asked for. I did have trouble getting in touch with Norm during the planning and design process, probably the reason the cake wasn't 100% right. All in all it wasn't so bad, and again it was delicious!
