Best Wedding Cake, Amazing Business Experience

When the venue pulled out of providing our wedding cake somewhat late in the wedding planning, I quickly reached out to about 10 cake bakers in the Atlanta area. Jeanine's husband had a serious health event the week I contacted her; she still reached out more quickly than many of the others with an apology (not even necessary!) for how long it took. I knew she would be a pleasure to coordinate with and she absolutely was from start to finish. Then, we received her sample box and the cake was TO DIE FOR. All of the options were so moist, fresh and flavorful. We settled on a lemon cake with lemon buttercream icing and some raspberry flavoring in the middle. It was seriously one of the best cakes I've ever tasted and we received many compliments on it. Jeanine and her husband also took great care setting it up beautifully on our cake platter and with the accent flowers provided by our florist. I look forward to ordering any special event cakes in our future from It Takes the Cake!

Amazing cake!

Jeanine is amazing to work with. From the very start, she worked with me to make sure I had everything that I wanted for my wedding cake. On my wedding day, our beautiful cake was delivered and Jeanine carefully placed flowers around the cake and our cake topper. Our cake looked better than the pictures that I sent her. We ordered a larger cake and expected to have leftovers but that did not happen! Guests raved about the moist texture and some came back for seconds. At the end of the night, we were lucky we saved the top layer of the cake for our one year anniversary or else that would have been eaten too!! Thank you so much for everything!

Knock Your Socks Off Good...

It Takes the Cake was an absolute dream to work with. Jeanine went above and beyond to make sure that our vision came to fruition on our wedding day. Originally, I intended to only have our main cake made here. The process and Jeanine's lovely personality and disposition made us immediately decide to also get our groom's cake made here too. We did not regret our decision. The cakes were gorgeous and knock-your-socks off good. The cake became a buzz at the wedding and our guests were fighting to take the leftovers home. We love this vendor and insist you work with them for your events.

I have had several cakes and cupcakes made from "It Takes A Cake To Make The Party". The cakes and cupcakes were for a baptism and several birthdays. I was always pleased with the outcome. Jeanine is a fantastic artist and her cakes/cupcakes show it. The cakes/cupcakes didn't last long at our events after everyone marveled at the design they then devoured the cake/cupcakes up - they are that delicious. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me @

The owner was sweet saw the vision and executed it. I was in a bind and she help me and delivered the cake on time to me. It was a surprise to my husband it was two red boxing gloves calling him the champ. She is amazing with such a God Gift talent and the icing fondue on top was delissh it was not cake left. And the important thing is the cakes were very moist. I would recommend her to anyone such professionalism and on time.

I cannot say enough good things about Jeanine and Tom! The cakes they create are so beautiful and taste heavenly! They made my birthday cake last Summer and everyone went crazy over all the wonderful flavors! I've had their cake on several occasions now and I highly recommend this business!
