Perfect Cake!

Creative Cakes by Donna did a wonderful job in making my vision for our wedding cake become a reality. The design was exactly what I pictured and what I discussed with Paula. She took the time to meet with me to understand exactly what I envisioned. Paula had wonderful recommendations, even down to recommending that we use a lavender tablecloth for the cake table to make the lavender elements on our cake stand out. I appreciated her expertise. The cake was delicious, we loved our lemon cake with raspberry mousse filling with buttercream frosting. Creative Cakes by Donna does an amazing job!

We were absolutely thrilled with our experience with Cakes by Donna!

From start to finish, everything was exactly what we had hoped for and more. Our wedding cake was red velvet, and not only did it look beautiful, but it tasted absolutely incredible.

To this day, our guests are still talking about how delicious the cake was, which says everything. It was one of those standout details that people genuinely remember, and we find ourselves still dreaming about it!

If you’re looking for a bakery that can bring your vision to life while delivering something truly unforgettable in taste, we cannot recommend Cakes by Donna enough. They were such a special part of our day!

Wedding cake 2/14/2026

I loved our wedding cake by creative cakes by Donna! It was baked so deliciously and decorated so beautifully for our Valentine’s Day wedding. We had a chocolate and vanilla cake with raspberry cream filling and raspberry jelly filling. The fillings weren’t too sweet which we liked. I would definitely recommend them for your wedding cake!  Our cake was included with our wedding venue (society room of Hartford)

Creative Cakes by Donna truly takes the cake when it comes to wedding cakes (pun absolutely intended!)

My husband and I were not only lucky to have our wedding cake included in our Society Room package, but also to have one of the most delicious wedding cakes we’ve ever had! Creative Cakes by Donna truly takes the cake when it comes to wedding cakes (pun absolutely intended!). Any flavor you choose is guaranteed to taste like a real cake- like the one your mom bakes for your birthday. You can feel the love, nostalgia, and sugary goodness in every bite. We had guests going back for seconds and even thirds, all declaring it was one of the best cakes they’d ever had! Even more importantly, the team was amazing to work with: prompt, detail-oriented, and incredibly creative. They made this part of the process completely seamless, and we only wish we lived closer to Hartford so we could order their cakes more regularly. Look no further than Creative Cakes by Donna when searching for a wedding cake - they are guaranteed to be a crowd favorite!
