Stunning and Delicious

We’ve now had the pleasure of working with Rosanne from Sweet Family Secrets twice - first for our wedding cake and now for our first anniversary, and both experiences were absolutely amazing. Not only were the cakes beautiful, but they were also incredibly delicious and thoughtfully made.

Rosanne truly brought our vision to life each time, and it means so much to us to have someone so talented be part of such special moments in our lives. Thank you for your creativity, attention to detail, and care. We can’t wait to celebrate more milestones with your cakes!

Great concepts into cake!

Working with Rosie and her team was seamless and her professionalism really came through in her concept art and presentations.

She incorporated our theme, colors, and the inspiration we took from a famous painting.

She was prompt on the day,
the flavors were perfect, and it was beautiful to behold 😊✨(glad i took pictures).

Best Jamaican Black Cake on Earth!

We ordered individually packaged Jamaican black cakes as favors for our wedding, and they were absolutely perfect! Every guest raved about how moist, rich, and flavorful they were. The cake had an authentic homemade taste that you can only get from someone who truly knows their craft and embodies Jamaican culture.

Working with Rosanne at Sweet Family Secrets was such a wonderful experience from start to finish. Professional, kind, and incredibly talented. I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you for helping make our celebration even sweeter! ❤️

Wedding Cake Review - Mandarin Chi & Traditional Jamaican Black Cake

Sweet Family Secrets did an amazing job with our wedding cake and was truly a joy to work with! The owner, Rosanne, was patient, understanding, and willing to put our needs and vision first while also guiding us with her expertise. The entire experience from start to finish was very professional, beginning with a preliminary call, followed by a take-home tasting box, and ending with a design meeting where she gave us a full presentation of curated designs tailored specifically to our vision.

While all of their cake flavors were amazing, we ended up choosing their Mandarin Chi as well as their traditional Jamaican Black Cake. The cake they created was both beautiful and delicious! Sweet Family Secrets is a company that clearly cares about its customers just as much as it cares about its product, and I would recommend them to anyone needing a baker for a wedding or special event.

A Special Token Added to Our Intimate Affair

OMGOODNESS!!! Thank you for adding to our special event. The favors were great with our unique monogram. The packing was lovely and went well with our presentation. And our beautiful cake wasn’t even cut. It was the perfect size for us to freeze for our year anniversary. I appreciate you taking the time to listen and adding to our day. Everything was special.

Jamaican Black Cake for our wedding

We are still hearing amazing reviews on the black cake from our wedding guests! Rosie was so lovely to work with - she was such a clear communicator with my mom and truly listened to our ideas. The cake was phenomenal. People were fighting over leftover cake to take home, taking care to fly it home! We can’t wait to work with Rosie again in the future. Thank you so much for making our special day unforgettable!

Unforgettable Dessert Experience

Sweet Family Secrets absolutely delivered! Their mini rum cake was hands down one of the standout desserts...moist, flavorful, and perfectly balanced with just the right amount of rum. It wasn’t overly sweet, and you could truly taste the care and quality in every bite.

My guests couldn’t stop talking about it, and several went back for seconds. The presentation was beautiful, and the service was seamless from start to finish. If you’re looking for a dessert that feels both indulgent and memorable, Sweet Family Secrets is an excellent choice.

Highly recommend, especially the rum cake and Black cake!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
