Wonderful Cake and Experience

There are wedding cakes, and then there is City Sweets. Working with Deborah was like working with a close friend who genuinely wanted to make sure we chose the cake of our dreams in both vision and taste.

As someone who chooses her dessert before choosing her main course, our wedding cake was extremely important to me in every aspect, and City Sweets went beyond my expectations. We chose two flavors (coconut cake with dark chocolate ganache & Champagne cake with three berry filling) and could not get enough of either! I am not typically a fan of fondant, but Debra uses an imported type that tasted light and “marshmallowy”, instead of that heavy plastic that people usually scrape off to the side!

The design of our cake was stunning. I wanted a Winter theme and my husband had an aversion to flowers--in stepped Deborah with the creation of delicate cascading snowflakes. Our solid shimmery tiers alternated with her signature stamped design which made the cake look beautiful from every angle.

To say our cake was delicious and beautiful is an understatement. I’m actually looking forward to digging into the tier we saved for our 1-year anniversary and can't wait to work with Deborah in the future for other special occasions!

Superior Customer Service, Incredible Attention to Detail!

Deborah, the owner of City Sweets by far understands customer service. I am an event planner who had a cake emergency with a wedding cake from another baker. I called Deborah, who never meet me before, for help! I was desperate for a new wedding cake in four hours. Deborah worked her magic and I had a cake we could proud present to the newlyweds at their ceremony. I highly recommend Deborah!

Most amazing wedding cake!!!!

Deborah is a genius baker. She made us the most elegant and flavorsome cake we could have wished for on our wedding day! All of our guests complemented us on the cake. During the tasting we weren't sure how we were going to pick between all of the wonderful flavors available, so Deborah made each level of our cake into a different flavor which turned out fantastically. Deborah is extremely kind and professional and an absolute joy to work with. I cannot recommend her enough!
