Fantastic Cake and Experience!

I needed a special cake for a very special occasion: a 100th birthday celebration, with a 79-person guest list! I had no idea where to begin. The owner of Let Them Eat Cake, Gayle Forte, was wonderful to work with. She explained to me the best size and shape of cake I should use for my guest list and occasion. As for what the cake should look like, the only hints I gave her were "The guest of honor likes flowers", and "she likes pinks, yellows, and purples". With so little to go on, Gayle drew us a concept sketch, and once I saw it, I knew it would be perfect. The end result was a stunning work of art, which was completely consumed by the end of the party. Many, many guests commented on how lovely the cake was, and also how delicious. I highly, highly recommend Gayle Forte and Let Them Eat Cake!

Delicious and Gorgeous Floral Cupcakes and Cake for a Cliff House Wedding

An enormous thank you to "Let Them Eat Cake" for the gorgeous floral cupcakes. The cupcakes were not only breathtakingly beautiful but also absolutely delicious. The perfect combination of artistry and flavor. Every detail was so thoughtfully crafted, and they tasted every bit as incredible as they looked. The wedding cake was also stunning decorated with tropical flowers from her florist. Thank you for helping to make our celebration so special.

Highly Recommend Let Them Eat Cake!

We worked with Gayle at Let Them Eat Cake for our wedding cake and cupcakes, and she was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. We had a coastal wedding and weren’t entirely sure what we wanted at first, but Gayle helped guide us toward the perfect design and flavors.

She created a stunning and delicious cake and cupcake selection that our guests are still talking about. Everything was beautiful, fresh, and perfectly done.

The wedding cake was exactly what we hoped for, and the cupcakes were just as impressive. We are so grateful to Gayle for her talent, creativity, and care in making our dessert table such a highlight of the day.

Highly recommend Gayle!

Gayle was so amazing to work with! I pretty much started with 0 clue what I wanted and Gayle took the time to discuss my vision and then draw out some sketches for me to look at. She had worked with my florist before and even contacted her to make sure her buttercream flowers matched my centerpieces! More importantly, the cake tasted as good as it looked! I would highly recommend Let Them Eat Cake to anyone looking for a sweet addition to their wedding day!

Amazing Experience!

Gayle made the most delicious cake and whoopie pies for our wedding! The cake was absolutely gorgeous. She was so helpful in our decision-making process. She listened to our vision, offered expert guidance, and brought it to life with such care, creativity, and precision.

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience or a more talented baker. If you're looking for someone who pours love, artistry, and passion into every detail, look no further. This cake wasn’t just dessert — it was a highlight of our big day. THANK YOU!

Painting Buttercream wedding cake 💕

Gayle was absolutely wonderful to work with! We were planning a destination wedding in York Harbor, ME from Maryland and Florida so Gayle was amazing and sent us her tastings and then worked with us to choose the design. The artist in me, fell in love with a painted buttercream cake I found on Pinterest and Gayle took that inspiration and created the most beautiful painted buttercream cake for us. It was everything I dreamed of! The flavors (lemon cake with lemon buttercream and raspberry filling) were delicious and the colors of the painted buttercream flowers matched the colors of our wedding perfectly. Everyone loved the cake and many guests went back for more! I would highly recommend Gayle to anyone having a wedding in Southern Maine, not only was her cake delicious but she was also the sweetest person to work with!

Gayle's attention to detail in every cake she makes truly shows how dedicated she is to her craft and her clients.
