Cake turned out beautiful and everyone enjoyed it. Would have liked to have a package with a small topper cake for our anniversary so we didn't have to freeze the topper.

She is awesome I had no worries about my cake. I gave her the colors and what theme I had and what type of flowers I like and she did a wonderful job that captured everything I wanted.

Cakes by Tawanda: Top Notch

The cake for our wedding day was absolutely gorgeous - Tawanda took our inspiration photos and replicated it exactly, with a small flair that made it so much better. The cake was also incredibly delicious - multiple people said it was the best wedding cake they ever had. At one point our dance floor was almost empty because so many people were back at their seats eating cake (including my groom and I)! I could not recommend Chef Hammond higher.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
