Beautiful and Delicious Deserts!

We worked with Kelly at Glass Slipper Gourmet for our wedding cake and desserts. At our tasting and design appointment she walked us through the entire process and her wide range of cake flavors had something for everyone, sweet, floral and/or rich. Her signature flavor “Honey Bee Mine” was so well balanced and original, our guests could not stop raving about it!

Kelly helped us come up with a unique design based off of a couple of pictures that complemented our overall event, and also made a sheet cake to supplement as well as a mini dessert bar with brownies, rice crispies and cupcakes for 80 people, and delivered them to our venue.

Amazing cake designer!

We're beyond happy we chose Glass Slipper to cater our September wedding in Berkeley. Kelly worked with us to create a very personalized cake taste and design that was tailored to us, and she was super helpful coordinating everything from the design, to the taste, to the return of the items she loaned us (which we accidentally stole – she was incredibly understanding).
Many of our attendees were blown away by the design, which was non-traditionally beautiful (we had a mountainous landscape with a starry night). Additionally, the cake flavors we had, honey lavender and almond vanilla, were tasty and highly distinct. Highly recommend!

If You Want a Fantastic Cake, You Can't Go Wrong with Glass Slipper Gourmet!

The cake we got for our wedding was spectacular, both visually and in terms of its deliciousness! We opted for a more modern style, marbled color on fondant, and the result was stunning, a great centerpiece for our wedding. In addition, both the cappuccino and blueberry cake flavors were phenomenal. The blueberry in particular was not just good but very interesting, truly unique and unlike anything we’d had before.

In terms of planning and preparation, Kelly was extremely professional. We had a pleasant experience tasting a variety of flavors, and she took plenty of time to work with us about our ideas for a wedding cake and come up with something we’d really like! She was also so helpful guiding us in the planning process, as we hadn’t gone to look at linens/colors yet, right away Kelly sprang into action, gave us a recommended vendor for rentals, called them up to see what availability they had and explained the process/order of planning to us. It was extremely helpful and definitely above and beyond!

Due to an emergency closure of our initial venue we had to make some minor schedule changes relatively late in the planning process, and Kelly took this in stride and took care of everything for us.

Big thumbs up for Glass Slipper Gourmet, they nailed it!

Lovely Experience, Great Cake!

Kelly was welcoming, accommodating and very professional throughout our cake tasting, helping us to make our flavor and design decisions much easier. She gave thoughtful recommendations and answered all of our questions, which helped narrow down the field of options in a timely manner.

Once our wedding day arrived, tasting the cake vindicated our choices. Our thanks to Glass Slipper Gourmet for being a part of our special day. We highly recommend this vendor and the Honey Bee Mine flavor cake.

Beautiful cupcakes and cutting cake!

After our May 2020 wedding was postponed, we agreed with our vendors to follow up the following year about our new date of October 16th, 2021. Unfortunately, our only vendor that fell through was our baker, who retired. We had our hearts set on the flavors we had initially chosen and the person who took her business over was unable to accommodate our dream cupcake and cutting cake menu. Although we were worried about finding a new vendor, it ended up being a silver lining, as we found Kelly with Glass Slipper Gourmet and were thrilled with her work! She was quick to respond, professional, completely accommodating of our hopes for our flavors, and when we met for our tasting we realized how lucky we were to work with her! We went in with our original menu set in our minds, but upon tasting her signature flavor (Honey Bee Mine) we were completely blown away and knew we had to add it to our cupcake menu immediately! Our guests raved about the cupcake flavors and the presentation (including our cake topper featuring the bride, groom, and our feline companion) and our cutting cake were just beautiful. We are looking forward to having our frozen leftover cake on our 1-year anniversary!

Amazing desserts!

Kelly was our dessert vendor for our wedding and I can't recommend her more highly. Her creations are stunning and she has the most amazing flavors - I challenge you to pick only one! We had change our large wedding to a small backyard gathering due to COVID (with the hope of a reception later on), and Kelly was very flexible about letting us move our deposit for the bigger event and working with us for a smaller scale dessert set-up for the backyard gathering as well. We went with a simple cutting cake in the Mexican Hot Chocolate flavor - a marble cake spiced with cayenne and cinnamon that is to die for, which Kelly artfully arranged flowers from our florist on top of - and cupcakes modeled off her signature Honey Bee Mine flavor, lavender blossom cupcakes with blueberry filling and honey cream cheese. Our families absolutely loved the desserts and understood why we'd been hyping them up since we booked. I can't wait to work with Kelly again in the future and highly, highly recommend that you order one of her cakes!

I Still Dream About This Cake

I was so happy with how this cake looked and even more impressed with the taste. Kelly was fantastic and was able to help me refine my vision. We were able to do an in-person tasting which was also amazing- it was hard to narrow down to two flavors for our two-tier cake. I loved how this cake turned out and everyone raved about the two flavors- Princess Cake and the Blueberry Lavender.

Delicious & beautiful cake

We are so happy we went with Glass Slipper Gourmet for our wedding cake. Kelly was great to work with leading up to the day. On the day, she delivered the cake to our restaurant, used some extra flowers from our florist to decorate it, and even said some kind words to help me calm down when something unrelated to the cake didn't go as planned. The cake itself was a hit! We chose the Honey Bee Mine and the Chocolate Divine flavors. Both were delicious, and it seemed like all the guests liked one or the other flavor. Overall, a great experience with Kelly and a delicious cake!
