My Best Wedding Vendor All the Way Around!

From the start, Jeannie was extremely professional and easily became my favorite vendor to work with. She was always so organized and detailed, which allowed me to always be sure exactly what I was getting with her and exactly what it would look like. And let me tell you, she always delivers!!! I sent her photos of different cakes and she was able to get me the look that i was looking for. She created a large wedding cake and several dozen cupcakes for us and even went as far as to work into the quote to-go containers when I was worried that we would have too much cake leftover. Her cake tastes fabulous as well!!!
Since my wedding, I have used Jeannie a few times for other events. She has become our family baker and we intend to hold onto her as long as we can to provide delectable treats for our family as it grows over the years. I wouldn't recommend anyone else!

Phenomenal

Where to begin. Let me start off by saying Jeannie’s work is out of this world. She made our wedding cake that was so gorgeous, I didn’t want to cut it. She is so knowledgeable and passionate about her work and it shows. The detail and time that she puts into not just the cake, but getting to know her customers makes the whole process so smooth and enjoyable. The communication was amazing. The flavors of her cakes are heavenly. I honestly never thought that designing and picking flavors for a wedding cake could be so peaceful and fun. Jeannie made that possible. Out of the whole wedding planning process the cake was the easiest and least of my worries thanks to her. Thank you so much for such a great experience.

Amazing Vendor!!

Just had to come here and brag about this business! I ordered cookies for my friends baby shower and decided to order my wedding cake as well.
I received my cookies today and will be updating my wedding order to add cookies for all my customers guests as my thank you gifts! They were stunning to say the least. I couldn’t believe how beautifully created these were with no flaws at all. Best of all, they tasted incredible!
I am so excited to see how my wedding cake turns out!!

Elegance and Ease

Jeannie prepared my daughter's wedding cake and cupcakes for the dessert table in May 2021. The cake was unbelievably elegant, beautiful, and so delicious! We got endless compliments. Jeannie was professional, friendly, and funny too. Which made the experience enjoyable and stress-free. I believe the price was very fair, especially considering all the work and time she put in. I recommend Jeannie at South Side Sugar, and I hope to use her Services again in the future.

Son’s wedding

Jeannie was absolutely wonderful to work with when planning my son’s wedding. She offered tastings since we weren’t sure what we wanted. I had many conversations with her and she was always very responsive and patient with me. She is extremely professional and makes the best cakes around!!! (Her macarons are insanely delicious too!!). I will definitely be using her again!

Farmhouse Wedding

I have had the wonderful opportunity to know Jeannie on a professional level as a colleague teaching students pastry. Not only does Jeannie have an extreme knowledge of pastry and talents reflect her end product. I had the pleasure of her making our wedding cake and cupcakes for our guests, and she went above and beyond, especially when you know the amount of time it takes to do what she did for us. I would give her more than 5 stars if I was allowed 😄. You will not be disappointed in using Southside Sugar Cake Co. for your event.

Above and beyond our expectations!

The wedding was in October of 2022, and we reached out to Southside Sugar earlier that spring. From the moment we spoke with Jeannie, we could tell that we picked the right person for our special day. It was absolutely stunning! She really cared and took the time to listen to us on what we wanted. Not only was it a visual masterpiece, but the flavor out of this world!! Her attention to detail was incredible, and it was clear she put a lot of love into making it. Two of our guests even asked for her referral information for their own weddings.
