Delicious Desserts

Dessert First made out wedding cake, and I couldn't be more pleased with how it turned out. All of my guests loved it.

Working with Jess has been a dream! I'm not a sweets person at all, but my fiancé is and let me tell you she won him over with the cake flavors and frosting! She was so nice to work with and provided cake samplings and gave us a quote right on the spot. I love that I am keeping all my vendors local and they have all worked with each other as well. When I showed Jess a picture of what I wanted the cake to look like she right away told me what I need and how to find it. We are having cake (3 tier) and 200 cupcakes and I'm so beyond excited! Jess is professional, easy going, fun, and you truly get a sense that she LOVES what she does!

Jess at Dessert First has amazing cupcakes and cakes. They are full of flavor, dense, moist and just the right amount of sweetness.

We ordered cupcakes for our wedding on August 1st. I was able to come in and taste test free of charge before ordering. Many places will charge you a fee to do this. Our cupcakes were outstanding! The guests loved them! Dessert First was very flexible and allowed you to make changes up until the week before. The only thing that could be better would be the response time. Sometimes there would be days before hearing back from the owner. It did not affect our big day one bit, but it did make me nervous. Overall we had a great experience with this vendor and would highly recommend them!

Even though this vendor is very busy in the summers and was hard to find time to meet with, she was flexible enough to get us some sample cupcakes and communicate over email to complete the job.
The cupcakes are moist and dense little cupcakes! The frosting is thick/heavy and delicious. So. Good. They were several people's favorite part about the wedding apparently, according to comment cards!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Dessert First is incredible to work with! Jessica has unbelievable talent when it comes to decorating. Their desserts are always very very delightful and pleasant. "One more dessert" is something I hear often working with them as a professional wedding photographer! My number 1 preferred professional bakery hands down!

Dessert First should definitely be your "first" choice for Dessert. They are a husband/wife duo who are so professional and just always strive to provide the best dessert for any event. I personally ordered cupcakes for Valentines and they were so fresh and so YUMMY :) Thank you for always providing excellent service and tasty treats. No event is to small or too big for them, they will make it happen with out sacrificing service :) I would highly recommend Dessert First for any occasion.
