Delicious cake happy couple

On our wedding day, the cake was delivered on time and very delicious. No complaints from us or our guest. Our cake was custom made, fresh, and affordable. We had more than enough. Cakes by Tawanda did a amazing job.

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.

Wedding cake

Ms. Tawanda was very kind to accommodate our last minute preparations. She made time to have a telephone conversation to discuss all the details of our wedding cakes. I will highly recommend her service.
The wedding cake was delicious and the decorations were absolutely lovely, just like how I described to her via email and phone calls.
Thank you, Ms. Tawanda for your time and effort and efficiency and I would love to have your services in the future 😊
Also, I hope that she expand her businesses in the west end. We need more people like her!
Grateful working with you.
