Absolutely Amazing ~ Sweetness for a Lifetime!
We hired Sweet by Design for our wedding and I’m still smiling about it. We ordered macarons, mini cupcakes, and a three-tier cake. Everything matched our vision perfectly. We talked to a few bakers, but only Sweet by Design truly got what we wanted and made it happen.
The tasting was our favorite and the price felt very reasonable. On the wedding day, the desserts were a total hit. The mini cupcakes and macarons disappeared before we could even grab one, and the cake was gone too. Not a single leftover.
Working with Melisa was a joy. She was kind, responsive, and made the whole process easy and stress-free. I’d recommend Sweet by Design to anyone who wants desserts that look beautiful and taste even better.

Sweet by Design did an amazing job with our cake! It looked and tasted so good I don't think we are going to be able to wait a year to eat the top of the cake! Melissa was great to work with as well. Very friendly and sweet. The prices were great as well. Would definitely recommend!

Melissa is wonderful
Melissa was such a pleasure to work with! She made my vision of my dream cakes come to LIFE!! She is so sweet, professional and an amazing baker! She gives great suggestions and advise. She helped with the pairs of our flavors. Everyone loved the cakes and they went soo fast! I only got the little piece when we did the cake feeding. 🤣 I am so happy with the results and I would definitely boom her again. If you want someone that is dedicate, puts hard work and love into your cakes, Melissa is your girl! Thank you again so much for making my day so special. 💗

Incredible experience and AMAZING cake!
The Sweet by Design cake was one of our very favorite parts of the wedding planning and the wedding! From inquiry to receiving tasting boxes to the day of, Melisa was a dream vendor to work with as she went out of her way to deliver the tasting boxes to us, took the time to plan out our vision and created the most beautiful cake for us. She was so easy to communicate with and made planning easy, including her sending tips on the tasting combinations and the cake table set up.
All of the cakes and icings we tasted were incredible. It was nearly impossible to narrow it down to our final choice (champagne with almond buttercream). Every flavor was perfectly moist and flavorful. At the wedding, our cake was absolutely beautiful and delicious and we received so many compliments, especially for the unique, flavorful taste.
I am so happy we chose to work with Melisa and I would absolutely recommend Sweet by Design to my friends and family!

Wedding cake
Melisa was great to work with and always responded quickly when I had questions. She prepared an awesome sample box with plenty of delicious flavors. We had a hard time choosing but went with the chocolate stout/cream-cheese buttercream. There were so many compliments on the cake and we loved the look! One of our wedding guest said it was the best wedding cake he’s had.
