Absolutely Amazing Experience!

I would recommend Susan to everyone and anyone! She has a great variety of flavors I couldn't find anywhere else and is absolutely amazing at what she does. Very attentive to my needs and requests without making me feel like I am asking for too much or being too picky. Thank you Susan for your time and dedication!

Beautiful and delicious

Susan made the wedding cake of my dreams. She brought my design to life and it was absolutely delicious. My husband and I were so excited to eat it and all of our guests loved it too. It was the perfect cake. She was such a pleasure to work with. I'll definitely be getting more cakes from her in the future.

Susan and her cakes are just absolutely wonderful, highly recommend!

Susan was SUCH a pleasure to work with. She was incredible from the first few emails we exchanged, to our cake tasting, to the day of. Working with Susan was stress-free 100% and most importantly, our guests RAVED about our cake saying it was the best they had ever tasted. Many of them said that they have never seen a cake that looks that pretty AND tastes that good, but Susan nailed it. We tasted quite a few and had such a hard time picking because all of them were delicious. Her prices are very reasonable, she is very professional and experienced, and the cake was just to die for.

We’re SO happy with our experience with Susan and Artful Sweets!

We had such an outstanding experience with Susan from Artful Sweets for our recent wedding. She was very professional, creative, insightful and responsive. Both my husband and I work in the pet industry, so she made the perfect dog-themed cake and cupcakes for our wedding. We couldn’t be any happier with her skilled services! Many thanks!!!

Susan Kolman artful Expressions

Susan is not only an extraordinary cake designer and creator but an exceptionally wonderful person as well. She essentially made my experience planning an out of state wedding for my son a beautiful experience. Her cakes were not only beautiful but delicious as well. I would choose her again and again and again.

A great experience from start to finish

I think the sweets were quite possibly the smoothest thing about the wedding. Susan made us feel comfortable from the tasting and throughout the process. She was open to creating anything we wanted and had a lot to offer. The mini lemon meringue pies were our personal favorite but the hand pies were a close second.

Bridal shower

I am so grateful that I found Susan! She took my inspiration for creating a Highland Cow cake and make it come to life! She exceeded my expectations and "HE" (the cake) was the hit of the bridal shower! The highland cow cupcakes were also just so adorable! Once we brought ourselves to cut the cake it tasted amazing! Susan was also amazing and so easy to work with and kept me up to date with everything!

You can’t go wrong with Artful Sweets! Beautiful, tasty wedding cake and cookies!! And so wonderful to work with!

I found Artful Sweets (Susan) online and loved the pictures of past cakes. I emailed Susan and she got back to me the same day. We had a tasting that was AMAZING! So many good flavors and icing. I showed her a picture of what I was thinking design wise for our cake and the colors of my wedding. She matched it perfectly! It was stunning. She was also so kind and communicative during the whole experience. She checked in with me the week before the wedding to make sure everything was good to go. She delivered the cake to our venue and it was truly a beautiful cake! And so tasty— it melted in your mouth. I highly recommend Artful Sweet and definitely try the pink champagne cake! SO GOOD! The cake was a huge hit with our wedding party along with the beautifully decorated cookies we used as take home goodies. She individually wrapped the cookies for our guests which was perfect. I can’t say enough good things about Susan at Artful Sweets. The cake was exactly what I envisioned and we couldn’t be happier. Thank you Artful Sweet!!!
