Beautiful cake, great experience

Madison was extremely kind and helpful through the entire process of designing and bringing our wedding cake to life. It was so pretty when I saw it in person and probably one of my favorite parts of my wedding! Thank you again!

Excellent Wedding Cake

We had a wonderful experience ordering our daughter's wedding cake from Cafe Ficelle. Madison, the pastry chef, was an absolute pleasure to work with from our first inquiry all the way to the big day. She provided a beautiful sample box at a reasonable price so that we could try five different cake flavors before selecting. She cheerfully and promptly answered all our questions and helped us find the best option for our vision and budget. She provided excellent communication and was very reliable and accommodating throughout the process, even delivering our cake later in the day so it wouldn't be out in the heat as long. The cake we ordered was beautiful and absolutely delicious! We would highly recommend Cafe Ficelle to anyone looking for a wedding cake.

Absolutely Devine Vintage Cake

Amazing amazing amazing! Honestly my cake was a big star of the show. Madison gave us the most personable tasting, and then actually made our dream cake come to life with the most perfect skills. We were surprised by the options for cake and frosting flavors and fell in love with lavender! They make their own lavender syrup
In house and it’s absolutely divine. Everyone was raving about the cake and we definitely ate all the leftovers. We will be back for our 1 year anniversary. Thank you so much Madison and Cafe FicellE

Madison with Cafe Ficelle was by far the easiest team to work with! Their pricing was not only fair, but they go above and beyond to help accommodate needs and requests. Cannot recommend them enough! And cannot wait to use them for any bakery/cake/dessert needs in the future!

Madison at Cafe Ficelle is amazing!!

Working with Madison, Pastry Chef at Cafe Ficelle was amazing. She is professional, super responsive and AMAZING at what she does. She was so kind on answering all of my questions, and the quality and taste of the Pink Champagne cake and cupcakes was the best. I even had a guest say the cake was the best cake he's ever had, and I agree! :) Sadly the day got so busy and away from that I didn't take many pictures of, including any of the great set up, but it was all amazing. I reccomend Cafe Ficelle and Madison wholeheartedly.
