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!

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!

Best Wedding Cake Experience Possible!!

My Mother-in-law found Sweet Family Secrets on Instagram, and wow, did she strike gold!! I got married in May 2025, and Rosie (the owner) did an OUTSTANDING job for us!! The cake was absolutely perfect, and she met our vision & needs in every way.

From the start, Rosie told me that she prioritized the "joy" of the wedding cake planning process, saying, "Weddings are stressful - the cake shouldn't be." And wow, she sure lived up that! She is just as warm & personable as she is professional, and this was very important me. She listened so attentively to what I liked and didn't like, and she never pressured me. She clearly and concisely told me what her services could provide, and her communication and updates were thorough and regular (thru text, email and even video chat). She made me feel like a friend through the entire process!

Rosie made me feel very cared for, and never as if I was "just another client". The tasting box was such a wonderful additional service, and I was able to enjoy all the cake flavors her business offers with my husband and our Moms!! So special!!

She had our food-safe wedding cake topper designed, and it was PERFECT - we still have it, and we'll be putting it on display in our home!

The guests loved the cake just as much as we did, and I'm so excited to come back to Rosie next year for 1st wedding anniversary cupcakes! 🥰

From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU, ROSIE!!🤍💒🍰

Thoughtful Cupcakes

My partner and I were so impressed by the craftsmanship and intentionality behind your cake designs and each topper. It was also a lovely moment to share your vision with him when it came to the design.

I’m so glad I took the time to find your business online, your thoughtfulness and kindness was greatly appreciated. May God continue to bless you and your company. I look forward to seeing the growth.

Diab wedding

Rosie was exceptional. I was MOH so I was in charge of receiving the cake day of. Rosie did a fantastic job of getting in contact with me a week prior and confirmed all of the details then. She continued to keep me updated on anything that came up on her end. The bride had picked out a topper that Rosie had to use her magic to make work - She did! And our bride wouldn't even had noticed it wasn't what they originally had talked about if I didn't point it out. The cake itself was beautiful and fit the theme of the day perfectly. Chai mandarin orange cake with salted carmel was a huge crowd pleaser. Outside of the unique flavor, it was so moist and decadent!
I was also in charge of cutting the two tier, double barrel cake. Rosie left step by step instructions along with a diagram on how to cut each cake. Even if you have never cut a cake before, Rosie literally makes it so that you can't fail so long as you take your time and give yourself plenty of room!
I would recommend this lovely lady and her right hand mother to anyone in the area. You are making the wrong choice if you don't use Rosie
