WE ARE CURRENTLY NOT ACCEPTING ANY NEW ORDERS WHILE WE MOVE OUR STUDIO. WE WILL UPDATE SOON WITH OUR NEW ADDRESS AND BOOKING INFORMATION! THANK YOU FOR ALL THE SUPPORT!

Cakespirations was created by Pastry Chef Jennifer Friedmann and her husband Andre Friedmann.

Jennifer and Andre both are from New England and came to North Carolina for the beautiful weather. Jennifer brought with her, her love of European pastry and breads. Jennifer had been a Chef previously for many years, starting her career in the culinary arts while in the military during the late 90’s. After bowing out of the industry to raise her children she settled happily into making cakes and treats for her friends and family. After many years she decided it was time to return to school and finish her culinary circle and attend JWU in the Arts of Baking and Pastry.

During her schooling she realized her talent and love of creating sculpted cakes and works of art out of sugar. Jennifer has excelled in the art of poured sugar, pulled sugar and sugar flowers, all of which have helped her to be able to achieve high quality hand crafted wedding cakes.

If you can dream it, we can achieve it.

Jennifer was professional from beginning to end. First, she takes the utmost care with her baking - she described in great detail her process and everything was absolutely amazing. Her desserts are made with great care and consideration. I would recommend Jennifer & Cakespirations to anyone looking for gourmet treats or cakes for their event!

Chef Jen did a wonderful job on our cake. We wanted a rustic cake to go with our theme and she did exactly what we asked for. Cake tasted amazing. Glad we went with her small shop.

Absolutely awesome! Our wedding theme was a balance of traditional vs. punk rock and I wasn't really sure what direction to go with my cake design, but Jennifer was wonderful to work with. She made sure I was aware of all the options she offers (which seemed limitless!), and made it very easy to arrive at a final selection that was perfect for the occasion.

Her level of communication was very appropriate, which was important since I handled all arrangements of the wedding myself and couldn't be burdened by over-communication, but was never left wondering if she had forgotten about me either. She was attentive, efficient, and timely about every detail, and even shared instructions for proper cutting and freezing.

Her execution was flawless – the cake arrived exactly when she said it would, looking gorgeous, and was delicious! Many guests enjoyed it so much they wanted to know who made it, and the leftovers stayed fresh in the refrigerator much longer than expected. I can't wait to take the rest out of the freezer!

Chef Jennifer with Cakespirations made the cake for my daughter's wedding. A very traditional 5 tier cake decorated to mimic the lace and buttons of her dress. The cake was beautiful! A masterpiece! AND delicious...the best wedding cake I have ever tasted. Each tier was prepared to satisfied the desires of the bride and groom; red velvet with triple cream cheese icing, almond sponge cake with layers of raspberry mousse and raspberry preserves, and chocolate sponge cake with layers of chocolate ganache and curls.
Chef Jen also created and made the cake for the rehearsal dinner. Designed to look like the sandy beach of North Myrtle Beach where the couple first met; complete with sunglasses and sand crabs! It too, was delicious. It looked so like the beach that I was actually hesitant to eat the sand. Yummy!

Jennifer was wonderful! I was on a tight budget and she sat down with me and gave me many options to help fit my budget. I also had no idea what I wanted design-wise and she was able to sketch out some ideas for me to help me decide. She was always available to answer questions and was very helpful. All of the samples we tried were amazing, which made choosing a flavor hard :) She uses the highest quality ingredients and you can tell! I would recommend her to anyone!
