We recently got married and I'm so glad we hired Patisserie Angelica to do our wedding cake. Condra was very easy to talk to, she listened to our needs carefully and worked a lot of effort to make it possible (we wanted a galaxy themed cake). She also explained patiently to us the difference between all the cake materials, and was very flexible when we changed our mind later. The wedding cake was perfect, both the taste and decoration. The only regret we have is we didn't save the top tier because we are not into the idea of freezing it, but little did we know, we didn't have time to enjoy our cake during our reception and the only bite I had was during the cake cutting. I couldn't stop regretting it so my husband and I have decided to go back to Patisserie Angelica on our anniversary to get the same cake again :)

The venue we had our wedding at did not provide dessert. Weird, I know. So we needed someone to take care of something that I didn't think was too big of a deal. I didn't want a big, elaborate wedding cake but I knew I wanted high end, delicious, fantastic, aesthetically pleasing desserts for our friends and family. Patisserie Angelica was everything I never knew I needed and more! Condra, the owner, and her team are amazing artist and I don't use that term loosely. I work at a very popular wedding venue in Napa so I certainly had my selection of vendors to choose from and I couldn't be any happier and confidant about the choice I made. There were things that I never even imagined I would have to think about, like what kind of platter would hand pies look better on and Condra was there for each and every silly email I sent with pictures asking her professional opinion about which plate would look best for which dessert. I literally had no idea what I wanted for our wedding sweets, I just knew I didn't want a huge wedding cake. I sent Condra many pictures of cakes and dessert stations I had seen and ideas I liked and she replicated them perfectly! Our venue wouldn't setup our dessert station so I reached out to Patisserie Angelica at the very last minute to see if they could come and actually place the desserts I had ordered on a table with my dishes and they didn't even hesitate to do it even though my wedding venue was almost 2 hours away from the shop! Not only that but when I was missing a cake stand for some items she lent me one at no cost! It is very rare in the world we live in to find people that care about other people and want to help. Whether you have the budget for a $3,000 cake or $600 for some dessert bites, there is no better pastry chef out there than Condra and Patisserie Angelica.

Patisserie Angelica made THE MOST delicious desserts for our wedding - and all gluten free! My husband has Celiac's Disease, and we decided really early that we wanted to do a dessert bar with lots of petite fours - and things that he could eat. Patisserie Angelica turned out the most delicious spread - 8 different gluten free desserts - and our guests ate all of them! I was really happy I had asked her to put aside a small box for us to enjoy the next day. This is just one of the many ways that they were incredibly considerate!!! Oh! and I also have to note that these desserts were made, delivered and all set up on a weekend that was undergoing a BLISTERING heat wave.

A few other things to note - basically everything that can possibly be organic or local is, and you can really taste the freshness in every bite.

PLEASE stop in to their shop if you're in the area - and definitely hire them!
