Stunning and Delicious!

Lara was such a joy to work with, and her cake designs truly speak for themselves. She completely understood our vision and delivered a stunning cake that perfectly matched our desired look and wedding colors. She even added a few tiny ladybugs in memory of my mom - such a thoughtful and meaningful detail that I’ll never forget.

And beyond the design, the cake itself was incredible. Honestly the most delicious cake we’ve ever eaten. If you’re deciding on flavors, do yourself a favor and try (or just order!) the pistachio rose. Trust us, you won’t regret it.

The Best Vendor Ever!

I truly cannot say enough positive things about Lila Bakery. I had all the confidence in the world about this member of our vendor team. Lara and Alan are an incredible team to have by your side throughout the wedding planning process. Their entire process is impressively seamless. From arranging a tasting months ahead to design planning, and wedding day delivery, every detail was meticulously carried out. The communication was extremely clear, perfectly timed, collaborative, and just generally kind. The design process was easy, enjoyable and personalized. Delivery, set up, and planning to keep the cake safe on the day could not have gone better. The cake looked amazing all day and tasted unbelievable. We even froze our top tier for our one year anniversary and it tasted just as perfect as it did on our wedding day! This family owned business is committed to excellence in their quality of every aspect of what they do. They are a genuinely kind family who will make you feel so supported and cared for. I hope that you choose them to create the cake of your dreams- we are thankful every day!

The most beautiful wedding cake!

We LOVED our cake from LILA Cake Shop. Lara made the process so easy from the beginning, starting with the delicious cake tasting. There were so many flavors to choose from and they were all delicious!! We ended up choosing a lemon blueberry cake for the bottom tier and a pistachio rose flavor for the top two tiers. She had really unique flavors to choose from and the they were all delicious. The cake was also super moist, even in the small samples we got to try!
 
She was very communicative throughout and made the design process easy. We wanted a floral design that was a mix of painted and piped buttercream flowers and she sent us a couple sketches to choose from. We ended up choosing a design that resembled hollyhock flowers, which is a design, I hadn’t seen before on a cake and it turned out AMAZING. We got sooo many compliments on our cake design (even from our other vendors too!). We also added some of their delicious tarts to our order which our guests also loved. Would highly recommend this husband and wife duo :)
 
*Also shout out too for getting our cake to our venue looking perfect!! It was a long bumpy golf cart ride up to the venue and it arrived in perfect condition! Sorry to the team for any stress!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
