Chef Marie is absolutely amazing to work with. We first met her at a wedding expo and fell in love with her beautiful designs and delicious cakes and knew that we wanted to have her create our perfect wedding cake. During the initial consultation, Marie was wonderful at helping guide us and create a vision for our cake based on all of the details/elements that were important to us. It was difficult at first for us to completely envision what we wanted, but Marie was able to quickly take our thoughts and put together a perfect sketch/representation to match our overall theme. The cake tasting was one of our favorite parts of the entire wedding planning process and Marie was able to offer some really great recommendations as far as pairings for cake flavors & fillings. Every cake and filling we tasted was absolutely amazing. We had such a hard time deciding which we liked best that we ended up going with two different flavor options. Seeing the cake brought to life on our actual wedding day was incredible. The cake itself was stunning and we can honestly say it was just as excellent of quality and flavor on the wedding day as when we did our initial tasting. We also had Marie make custom cookies as take-home treats for our wedding guests which also turned out perfect - everyone loved them! We truly love Marie's work and would highly recommend Hands on Sweets for any important event cake/pastry/dessert needs!

August wedding
Cannot give enough reviews about Marie and Hands on sweets. She was super flexible when we had to reschedule our day due to covid. We cut our wedding guest count but wanted to keep our dessert table for our original count and give guests a to go box of desserts for their gift. Everyone loved the desserts! Can’t wait for a reason to order a cake from them on the future!

Chefs Marie & Carlos are the BEST
I would highly recommend that every couple look into Hands on Sweets for their wedding dessert needs. My wife and I were blown away with the level of service that was provided to us throughout the entire process. We worked with Marie for our wedding and she was an absolute joy. During the tasting she walked us through everything, made awesome suggestions, and made our dessert table the most anticipated part of the event (after the ceremony of course). Marie went out of her way to make sure all of our needs & wants were met as we wanted an atypical setup (no cake), rather an assortment of desserts. Each dessert option was not only incredibly delicious but beautiful as well. Each dessert looked like a piece of art. Would 10/10 recommend for all of your dessert needs! Thank you!!!!!
We love working with Hands on Sweet. They always bring beautifully designed cakes and favors. All of our couples rave that their tasting is the best experience and that Chef Marie & Chef Carlos understand their vision. They always deliver on time, provide boxes for top tier and bring beautiful cakes stands. It is always a pleasure working with them and we trust our couples will always have a wonderful experience. Not to mention everything they create taste amazing. We love having Hands on Sweets on our preferred vendors list. Thanks for the partnership.
Let us start by saying that we are pretty tough judges when it comes to cake. That being said, we cannot recommend Hands on Sweets enough! Their work is not only gorgeous, but is some of the best tasting around! (Seriously, they have some awesome mini deserts as well!)
