The Sugar Flowers Of Your Dreams

Betsy and her Nine Cakes team are absolutely wonderful, and produced the wedding cake of our dreams for our June 2022 wedding. Betsy came highly recommended by our photographer, though we were already in love with her designs from seeing her work on Instagram and other wedding websites. Betsy's sugar flowers are UNREAL and unlike anything I've ever seen before. Betsy worked with us personally to discuss elements of the design and what we liked from her previous work; our only disappointment was not getting to do an in person cake tasting due to COVID! Nine Cakes sent us the cutest tasting box and we were thrilled to make a night out of cake tasting with my parents. We knew her cakes tasted great from our tasting box (sent perfectly packaged to our home!), but our venue coordinator told us guests were saying it was the best wedding cake they've ever had AND they were going back for seconds! For a family that loves dessert and a beautiful wedding cake, Betsy knocked it out of the park.

Nine Cakes Wows

If you want an absolutely delicious cake that is stunning, you must use Nine Cakes. No one can compare! We absolutely loved the process of selecting the flavors (from home) and the design of our wedding cake. It was a true centerpiece to remember! We were told the additional vegan mini cakes were very tasty.

Creative flavors - big hit at the wedding!

Nine Cakes is a preferred vendor of the venue we booked, and was the only one we had to reach out to. We scheduled a cake tasting where you pick 4 flavors ahead of time (the cost of which can be deducted from your eventual spend). It was difficult to choose, but Betsy let us know we could mix and match with the different tiers, which we took full advantage of! We opted for a simpler design, but were impressed by the variety and quality of their past work. Our only regret is not putting the flavors on our wedding menu, as I'm sure our guests would have loved to try more than one had they known!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
