Absolutely great!

We just loved Lydia! Our first meeting went very well. Lydia was very helpful and the cake tasting was amazing! The final result left me speechless. It was such a beautiful cake! It was exactly what we wanted and more. Lydia did an amazing job on our wedding cake! The flavors were great and all of our guests loved the cake. The sugar flowers had the guests wondering how they weren’t real! In all.. it was a great experience!

Lydia was great to work with for the special cake I wanted for a Great Gatsby Themed 49th birthday party. We talked through ideas and she came up with a beautiful and delicious cake for the special event.
I recommend Lydia to everyone looking for a special event cake and she will be the person I call the next time I need one.

Lydia made a custom cake for my sons 8th birthday. He wanted a themed cake based on an iPad car racing game (CSR Racing). Lydia DOWNLOADED and PLAYED the game in order to get a feel for the graphics and made a spot-on, delicious cake!!! He was thrilled!!!!

I honestly can't say enough great things about my experience with Lydia. She made every step of the wedding cake process easy and worry free! The tasting exceeded my expectations, and I was pleasantly faced with the tough choice of trying to pick between the various cake flavors because they were all so amazing. I provided Lydia with a baseline for my design, and she ran with it! She suggested the using custom sugar flowers, which I never would've thought of doing. But I'm SO GLAD I did! They were literally the centerpiece of the cake, and the cake was the centerpiece of my dessert bar. My words of advice? If you're looking for a talented cake designer who is patient, flexible and incredibly talented, go with Lydia and Finale - Signature Cakes by Lydia! <3

Lydia is a sweet, genuine, accommodating ARTIST. Her hand made flowers are absolutely incredible! Her cakes were varied and she actually came to our daughter's home for a tasting. As much as her artist abilities are superb, her baking is just a fabulous! The chocolate mousse and the fresh strawberry vanilla were moist and very tasty. Good Luck Lydia! I hope we meet up again in the future.

Presentation- Perfect
Taste- Perfect
Texture- Fluffy and Amazing
Affordable- Yes!
Lydia offered competitive prices and superior quality to anything we'd seen or tasted. We tried multiple bakeries that all offered beautiful designs, yet the flavors and textures were always lacking. Once we sampled a Finale cake we knew we'd found the right baker/artist. We presented her with unique cake design ideas and she created a personalized design better than anything we'd imagined. Presentation is such a huge part of a wedding cake, but the taste blew our guests away. The quality of the ingredients is apparent in the flavor and texture of the cake, frosting and fondant. Lydia makes her own fondant and it tastes amazing! Everything is genuinely homemade with real ingredients - no artificial flavors or funny stuff. We had a strawberry cake with real strawberries! Delicious and beautiful!

I can't thank Lydia enough for the amazing service she provided. From beginning to end, Lydia was extremely professional and was such a pleasure to work with. Our cake, where do I begin....it was a HIT! everyone loved it and we received so many compliments from the design to the taste. It was obvious that Lydia passionate about what she does, because it shows in her work. Our cake was perfect! moist and very delicious, every detail put into it was an absolute show stopper. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Out of all the vendors that responded to my inquires , I liked her attitude from the beginning. Lydia was very easy and fun to work with. She was extremely accommodating and willing to go the extra mile to make the cake we were looking for. I love wedding cake and was hoping for a delicious and beautiful cake. Lydia delivered on both. I couldn't stop eating the cake the next day. Everyone agreed, it was the best cake we ever had.

Lydia made a beautiful 3-tiered cake for my wedding with several handmade flowers to match my bridal bouquet. Her cakes are delicious and she is very willing to work with you (do you want your chocolate more chocolaty? Just ask her!).Lydia was very responsive to my emails and always willing to help by answering questions or making suggestions. I highly recommend her.

Lydia made two beautiful fairy cakes for my daughter's first and third fairy themed birthday party. The cakes were incredibly beautiful and delicious. The detail she puts into her work is incredible. Whether it's a cake for a birthday party or for a wedding she treats every customer with like royalty and every cake as a master piece. She's very easy to work with and also works according to your budget.

Awesome Edible Art! Finale- Signature Cakes by Lydia is a phenomenal, amazing cake artist, and an all around lovable gal! When I asked her to make a special cake for the Woodland Shower I was styling, she met with me, studied the invitation, and talked with me about the details of the look I was going for. She worked her magic and came up with a jaw dropping piece of work! Tiny little details such as the ladybug climbing up the backside of the stump and personalized greeting on the tiny edible wooden sign, were extra special delights. EVERYTHING on this cake was edible (with the exception of 2 hidden toothpicks to hold up the sign and the fox tail). This was truly the perfect centerpiece to our lovely event! Thank you, Lydia!
