Holy hell -- book this woman
We are, no joke, going to ask her to make us a cake for every anniversary (until we go broke or get diabetes) so we can try all the various flavor combos and feel like royalty.
Absolutely loved working with Heather and would recommend her to anyone.
Highly Recommend!
Don't walk.... run to Heather at Frances Baking!
Heather created a 4-tier masterpiece (pistachio and almond ricotta) that our guests loved and even messaged us after the wedding!
The cake was the focal point for our 174 person Belmond Encanto wedding and it dazzled on the lily pond walkway in the center of all our rectangular tables.
The look and taste can not be beat! Highly recommend any wedding couple to go with Heather at Frances baking!

The most amazing wedding cake ever!
We went with an earl grey cake with a passion fruit curd and it was as delicious as it was pretty. She was also so amazing at creating the cake design that we wanted and even worked with us to find the perfect design that sort of married all of the designs we were looking it. She was great about asking us for our wedding vision boards and floral / colors as well so that she could make sure that the cake would tie in perfectly.
Highly recommend her if you are looking for some really cool flavors and a really talented and sweet baker in the SB area.
The best!!
