BEAUTIFUL work & yummy food

I'm so glad we came across this catering company and that they were willing to travel to our venue! Despite being a bit of a drive away and only coming to our venue a handful of times.. this catering company knocked everything out of the park. They were great at communicating and following our requests! They even put some of our apps to the side so my fiancé and I could still enjoy when we finished pictures. Our friends and family were so impressed with their beautiful set up and how delicious the food was! They were even able to accommodate for our friends and family who were vegetarian and gluten free. I HIGHLY recommend Just Desserts (:

Amazing cakes....

Melinda is amazing! She took the time to meet with us when we came into town as our wedding was a destination wedding. She stayed in contact with me from day one of requesting to meet. She really listened to what we wanted and the exquisite detail and the best flavors, moist and every single person at our wedding commented how Devine both cakes were. Melinda helped me surprise my husband with a Pirate Flag grooms cake...actually sent her a picture of the flag he had and she nailed it!!! Above and Beyond in every way! We have still kept in touch.. her husband and her are part of our family!! We love and adore her!

The MOST delicious cakes

Okay, I can’t even explain…. There are literally no words that will do justice to the deliciousness of these cakes! We ended up choosing key lime for our bottom tier and eclair for our top tier.

The key lime has delicate flavor that gives just enough taste so you know it’s key lime, but doesn’t overwhelm your pallet with sour. The eclair was also delicate but so delicious you didn’t want to stop eating it. I literally had a piece of each!! The decorations were exactly what I wanted.

Melinda was absolutely a joy to work with. She was accommodating with us since we came from out of town, was able to provide a tasting even though our schedules never connected, and was joyful while communicating. You need these cakes in your life!

Stunning Cakes!

Melinda is the best -- she is so talented in designing beautiful cakes! I'm a tough critic in this department, as I have a "side hussle" bakery back home, and Melinda is hands down 5 stars! Our "Shells of Elegance" cake was exactly what we had envisioned. I will say our guests enjoyed the chocolate macadamia nut flavor more than the rum cake as a tip to anyone deciding on flavors. Chocolate is probably a better selection to go with if you are debating between the two. Melinda worked with us on postponing our Sanderling wedding twice due to covid, and in addition, she made a small wedding cake for our "real" wedding which only had 3 guests present due to covid. Everything was as expected, she's fun to work with and has an outgoing personality. She's very quick at responding to emails and phone calls. If you're looking for a stunning cake, look no more and hire Melinda at Just Desserts!

Best Wedding Cake Evah!

As a Wedding Planner I’ve had the privilege of tasting many wedding cakes throughout my career. One might think it would be difficult to choose a favorite, however, this is not the case! Melinda’s eclair cake is my all time favorite and I routinely recommend it to other couples so when it was time to choose our own it was a no brainer. Ooh la la can you also say gorgeous?!

Unbelievably wonderful

Melinda and Larry were fantastic to work with. The cake was better than we could have imagined. Guest went back for a second piece. We had the eclair cake and it was amazing.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
