We loved our red velvet and cream cheese frosting wedding cake from Sweet Crimes. The cake was delicious and looked gorgeous. Our guests really enjoyed it.

The most amazing cupcakes!!
Keri is a dream to work with! At our tasting with her, we were blown away by both the quality of her desserts and the gorgeous presentation. She was very creative and flexible with us in terms of customizing the cupcake flavors and desserts for our wedding reception, and was amazing enough to deliver them even at a three hour drive away. For the folks in our crowd who can't consume gluten due to intolerance or allergy/Celiac's, they really appreciated not only being able to eat any of the desserts at the wedding that they wished, but that the desserts were super amazing on top of it. Everything was fantastic, but the real stars of her baking repertoire were the carrot cake and red velvet cupcakes, the lemon bars, and her toffee-chip-cookies. We've also visited her at Smorgasbord in DC, and her donuts are exquisite as well. Quick additional tip: we popped our leftover lemon bars in the freezer to preserve them, and they're amazing frozen as well as in their normal state.
Whether you're gluten free or not (and even if you're not, chances are you're probably inviting someone who is), definitely set up a tasting with her. You'll be delighted!

Wedding cake
Sweet Crimes did an amazing job on my Gluten-free wedding cake. Not only was it moist and delicious-it was also beautifully decorated. I couldn’t have asked for more on my special day.
