Delicious and wonderful

We absolutely loved the wedding cake that we got from Hope! My now husband is not a fan of chocolate so we were on the hunt for the best tasting Funfetti cake because who doesn’t love sprinkles?! The cake was HEAVENLY and Hope was so easy to work with! I highly recommend using them for any cake you might want to get!

Hope is awesome!

Hope makes beautiful cakes, and totally made our vision come to life! We did a pumpkin cake with vanilla buttercream and chocolate cake with a raspberry filling. Both were outstanding and the look of the cake was gorgeous. Would highly recommend Hope!

Beautiful design, amazing taste

Hope was amazing to work with and produced a showstopper cake that was – to quote many of our guests – “the best we’ve ever had.” Even though it’s been almost a month since our wedding, we still have friends and family who rave about how delicious and stunning our cake was. We reached out only a couple weeks before our wedding date (our bad!), but Hope was ready to go and met with us right after we reached out. She quickly gathered all of our thoughts on design, and in just one sitting, she had sketched an astonishing art deco design that seamlessly blended our design preferences (not an easy task given the many photos from Pinterest we showed her!). Beyond Hope’s phenomenal artistry, her baking skills are unmatched. Each cake sample we tasted was the best we’ve had of that given flavor. We ultimately chose Funfetti, which all our guests appreciated. Our venue (Branford House in CT) was over an hour away from Hope’s shop, but our cake was delivered on time and in perfect condition. We can’t wait to eat our top tier in one year! Choose Hope to bake the best wedding cake you can imagine!

Beautiful and delicious cake experience!

Hope was wonderful to work with! We had a great consultation and tasting with her, and the cake was more delicious and more beautiful than we could have imagined. It fit the theme for our wedding perfectly and it was so easy to share and come up with ideas that we loved and Hope could execute for us. Thank you so much for making the process so easy, and for being such an important part of our wedding!

Deeeeelicious

A Little Imagination Cakes was great! The tasting was superb and the cake did not disappoint. We loved the decorations and the flavor options - the guests were raving about both the pumpkin cake and caramel mousse, and the strawberry cake with peanut butter mousse. Would highly recommend!

I only need to tell you two things about A Little Imagination Cakes. (1) They made us a funfetti cake! (2) Neither my husband nor I got a piece because the guests ate it all. IT WAS GONE. I sincerely thought we would have extra since we have a few gluten free or dieting guests, but several went back for more. It was that good. I'm thinking of ordering a fresh mini replica for our anniversary next year just so we can have some!

Hope and her team at ALIC were absolutely wonderful to work with and, most of all, our wedding cake was not only stunning to look at, but tasted so delicious! My husband and I first tasted an ALIC cake at a wedding show, and the sample was so yummy. From that point forward, their cakes were consistently wonderful every time, whereas other bakeries we tasted were not always that way! I ordered a surprise Groom’s Cake from ALIC in addition to our wedding cake, and Hope was very considerate and thoughtful in making sure that she helped to keep the surprise – she even helped to dissuade my groom from choosing his favorite flavor for our wedding cake while at our tasting, as that is what I had already chosen for his Groom’s Cake, and he never suspected a thing! After talking to guests at our wedding, everyone agreed that the cakes were some of, if not the MOST delicious wedding cake they had ever had. Even though they were large in size, the flavors (we alternated flavors between tiers) were distinct, the cake was moist and fresh, and the buttercream and fillings perfectly complimented their corresponding cake. We didn’t have much left over at the end of the night, but what we did have we served to guests at a post-wedding party the next day, no one could get enough! The team also delivered the cakes safely and promptly to our wedding venue, their payment system was easy to use, and they are prompt and responsive in all communications. Everyone at ALIC clearly loves what they do, and puts endless love, time and energy into their creations. We could not have been more pleased with our entire experience with Hope and A Little Imagination Cakes, and we will certainly use them again for special occasions!

A Little Imagination Cakes was amazing to work with! When we met with Hope for our tasting, we had planned to have our wedding in Bristol, CT, but we later moved our venue up to Amherst, MA. Hope was so flexible and was still willing to work with us despite having to travel further. Our cake was gorgeous (three tiered, marbled blue/gray frosting, and gold leaf), and was delicious (strawberries and cream with amaretto frosting)! A great experience all around!

Hope is incredible! She worked with us to help create a small personal cake for myself and my husband. She fit our aesthetic perfectly, as she even ordered paper flowers to match my bouquet. She is truly talented, and the range of options she has are endless. She also has a huge variety of flavors. We have had her cupcakes and cakes at other events as well, and have always been blown away. We highly recommend A Little Imagination Cakes!!

Just as beautiful as they are delicious. Hope's convection creations will be a huge hit for any occasion. She created a cake for my grandmother's birthday that was everything I envisioned. It was so realistic, and the smile on my grammy's face made me so happy! The same month my husband surprised me with a cake for our anniversary. It looked just like the top layer of our cake. It tasted amazing and created a memory that I will cherish forever. Who knew sugar could be so sentimental?!
