    best desserts

    Cute Cakes blew me away. We ordered a small cutting cake, donuts, cupcakes, cream puffs, macarons, individual pies, lemon bar bites, and a mini cookie display. Everything was perfectly made and decorated to match our wedding colors. All our friends talked about how delicious the desserts were and I’ll admit, I had seconds. They were also very accommodating to our Vegan and Gluten sensitive guests and provided special dessert items for them.

    Best-tasting wedding cake ever!

    I'll admit, I'm pretty picky about my wedding cakes. I've had a LOT of not great ones, and very few okay ones. To the point I was just going to go to Costco and buy a bunch of sheet cakes because at least I knew the quality was consistent. But then we decided to check out Cute Cakes to do our wedding cake due diligence and thank goodness we did because Cute Cakes was above and beyond all of our expectations. Things that we were looking for in a wedding cake: 1) whipped cream frosting, not buttercream (very few bakeries do this as it is a seasonal thing). 2) reputable and experienced. 3) tasty cake! First of all, when they give you a wedding cake tasting, you better skip a meal because they are not afraid to load you up on cake and desserts! We felt their tasting fee was very affordable especially considering the amount of samples you get for your buck. Secondly, working with them was such a breeze and they required minimal hand-holding/checking in. They were very quick to understand our vision, never tried to up-sell us, and gave us a quote that was very reasonable and tailored to our needs. Finally, that cake. So. Good. I'm not even a fan of chocolate but their chocolate cake is absolutely divine. We loved their cake options so much we chose 3 different flavors, which for some vendors would be extra cost, but not for Cute Cakes! Everything went off without a hitch on the day of, and we received so many compliments for our cake! In fact, we gave our leftover cake (due to COVID we had less guests than we anticipated so more cake than expected) to one of our friends since we lived across the country and had to fly back. She said she was going to bring it to work and then later told me that she ate the entire thing by herself since it was so good! She didn't even share it with her husband! If that's not a stunning endorsement, I don't know what is. We had a great experience with Cute Cakes and would recommend them to anyone looking for an absolutely delicious cake with great, unobtrusive service.
