Delicious Cake & Cupcakes

I first met the Confections of a Cake team at The Richmond Summer Weddings Expo at Main Street Station. They were so friendly and had yummy samples. We did a cake tasting with Ann and was able to try so many different combinations of flavors. We decided on a 2 tier cake Caribbean rum flavored cake and 5 different cupcake flavors. For a small fee they even did the special hydrangea piping on half the cupcakes. Our guests loved both cake and cupcakes! Highly recommend!

Our Vision Came to Life!

Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish! The desserts for our wedding were incredible. We had a two-tiered cake and four flavors of cupcakes for our guests - each one incredible (especially the Caribbean rum)! Guests couldn’t stop talking about how delicious everything was and how light and perfectly balanced the frosting tasted. We even had multiple out-of-town family members joke that we’ll need to have these cupcakes ready every time they come to visit. Highly recommend—truly helped make our wedding unforgettable!

Perfection

I was so amazed with Ann and her team. From the moment we met I could tell she was passionate and loved what she did. She ensured everything went smoothly from day one and I truly appreciated that. She is an amazing baker and so talented. I can't tell you how many compliments the cake got. Everyone loved it and we were obsessed with the outcome and the flavor. Thank you so so so much for being apart of our big day. We are so thankful.

Beautiful wedding cake!

We ordered our wedding cake from Confections of a cake and they absolutely exceeded our expectations! They were incredibly professional throughout the entire process — from the initial consultation to the delivery and setup on the big day. Not only were they budget-friendly, which was a huge plus during wedding planning, but the cake was also delicious! We received so many compliments from our guests. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality, taste, and great service without breaking the bank!

Amazing, Beautiful, and Tasty!

We got married this past March. We found out about Confections of a Cake through the Richmond Wedding Expo and set up a tasting. Let me tell you that our experience was absolutely seamless from start to finish. Ann was amazing to work with and so knowledgable. She was able to take our vision and make it come to life. Leading up to the wedding Ann made sure to check in with us and finalize any last minute questions or concerns that we had. On the wedding day they did an amazing job with setup and they even made sure to put aside some cupcakes for us (Bride and Groom) to make sure we got to enjoy some that evening. We have received so many compliments on our cake and cupcakes. They were so tasty! I would absolutely recommend Confections of a Cake to any couple looking for the best most beautiful cake for their big day!

Confections of a Cake Review

Confections of a Cake was so wonderful, and I enjoyed working with a small business that was local for us. We had a great 1 on 1 session to talk about cake design and flavors. Everything was so well done, and I have never had a better tasting cake. We were offered so many options, and Ann was amazing about any small detail. You could genuinely tell the ingredients for these cakes were either homemade or were considered carefully. One of my favorite things about Confections of a Cake is that they will make couples a cake for their one year anniversary. I am looking forward to tasting our wedding cake again, and I will gladly order more cakes from them in the future.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
