Cake Alchemy created a beautifully designed 4 layer cake for our wedding, with each layer having its own unique flavor combination. While some wedding cakes can tend to be dry after staying out all day, the sponge from Cake Alchemy was anything but, and all four flavors were phenomenal. The buttercream fillings were also smooth and creamy and the flavor combinations recommended to us for the cake/filling pairings were delicious. I would certainly recommend Cake Alchemy to anyone looking for an amazing design and a truly delectable cake.

Our wedding was at the Le Parker Meridien Hotel and they partner with Cake Alchemy as part of their wedding package. We met with Lauri a few months before the wedding to select flavors and designs. We wanted something simple on the outside and delicious on the inside and Lauri helped us create just that. Each tier of the cake was beautifully done with the various design elements that we selected (we went with an art deco influence) and the cake and filling flavors were equally as amazing. We cannot wait to celebrate our first anniversary and eat the top tier of our cake!

When I saw our cake on our wedding day, I was absolutely floored; it far exceeded every expectation I had. Lauri is an artist and an absolute pleasure to work with. When we met with her for a tasting, we described our vision for the cake. We explained that Ganesha (the elephant god) was important to us and was hidden in our wedding invitations. We planned to incorporate Indian culture and themes throughout our wedding, explaining that we had brought in pillows and table runners from India to warm the space.

After talking with her, she recommended incorporating our pillows into the cake by making each layer of the cake a pillow with Ganesha perched on top. We worked together to create stencils that could be used on the pillows that worked within our themes. We were excited about our cake, but could not believe the finished product. It was absolutely extraordinary, and was exceptionally tasty as well. It was work of art! It did not look like an ordinary wedding cake. In fact, it didn’t look like a cake at all. It looked so much like a stack of pillows that our wedding planner had to post a guard by the cake to stop guests from touching it.

All of our guests were overwhelmed by how beautiful our cake was. Guests and vendors are still talking about it weeks after the wedding. You won’t be disappointed if you go with Cake Alchemy!

Lauri Ditunno, is a cake goddess, it's that simple. My Wedding cake was beyond incredible! Not only was it the most delicious, moist and perfectly sweet cake that I've ever tasted, but it was truly a piece of exquisite artwork. The color, the concept, texture, every detail was perfection and exactly what I had asked for, yet so much more! In truth, I didn't think such a vision was actually possible. Did I mention the sugar flowers? I still can't figure out how she makes them because they look so real, fresh and alive! I had to eat one, just to be sure that they were actually sugar! I am in awe of Lauri's artistic abilities and am forever thankful to her for the most beautiful & tasty Wedding Cake imaginable. Any bride would be lucky to have a cake made by Lauri at Cake Alchemy!

one word = delicious! Lauri is talented and her cakes are sooooo good! She was great from the beginning to the end and on my one year anniversary I am going back to have her make my wedding cake because I ate all of it. It was that good! She is amazing and I would definitely recommend her to everyone!

Cake Alchemy (Lauri Ditunno) did a fantastic job!!! Our cake was truly a work of art. We fully designed our cake from the topper to the filling and it turned out perfect. The cake tasted great as well! Lauri has been on Food Network shows but is very grounded and fun to work with. There were ZERO issues. Lauri can even bake a small "trial" cake with the chosen cake and fillings. Our biggest regret is that we didn't get to eat as much cake as we wanted to because we were busy running around having a great time.

Lauri was a pleasure to work with for our fall wedding in NYC. The tasting at the Cake Alchemy was fun, and we got to see Lauri in her creative element. There is a wide range of wedding cakes to choose from. We wanted our cake to be more simple/modern and elegant. We choose a white lattice cake that was absolutely stunning to look at and taste. We highly recommend Cake Alchemy!!
