A Masterpiece made of cake!

Our overall experience was phenomenal, in our opinion we received celebrity treatment. Imagine meeting an artist and cake master all in one. Mrs. Lori was responsive, courteous and well prepared at all times. At our cake tasting, there were a plethora of flavors and options along with a cold glass of water to wash all of the deliciousness down. The ambience was warm and inviting. After seeing all of the wonderful prototype cake arrangements, we trusted her judgment and gave her full autonomy in our cake design. We developed a relationship with Mrs. Lori and will forever hold her near and dear to our hearts, we gave her a Wedding invitation along with first look at our the Wedding sign which we made ourselves. Can you believe she found a way to incorporate it into the cake. A complete Masterpiece!! We Love Our Cake!! It tastes amazing, we keep taking slices out of the freezer to eat and each slice tastes as wonderful as the first!!! We highly recommend her for anything cake and art related. Her cakes of art are second to none!

Beautiful and delicious cake!

We worked with Sweet It Is for our October 2024 wedding and it was a wonderful experience. Lori was very communicative and made the process of selecting design and flavors easy. We wanted something simple and elegant and Lori nailed it. The cake itself was delicious! We had less guests than expected due to the hurricanes in NC so I was shocked to see the entire cake basically gone at the end of the night. My husband said multiple people told him how good it was!

Everything was absolutely perfect!

Lori and her husband did an absolute FANTASTIC JOB!!!! I spoke to several different vendors but none of them would make the custom S’mores cake that I wanted until I found Sweet It Is! The cake was so beautiful I almost didn’t want to eat it, but it was soooo delicious. Definitely use them for your special event!!!

We LOVED our cake!!!

Lori did an AMAZING job with our wedding cake! We knew immediately from our initial tasting that we were going to go with Sweet It Is. We got a 4-tier cake with two flavors and two fillings: butterscotch sponge with cream cheese frosting and chocolate cake with a white chocolate Bailey’s frosting. It was absolutely gorgeous and so delicious. We had a line of guests going up for seconds! We are saving our top layer for our anniversary and are so excited to tuck into that in a year! We also rented a cake stand through her and the cake was so beautifully designed and displayed!

Amazing Wedding Cake Experience

10/10 working with Lori for our wedding cake. The whole experience was 5 stars. From the tasting, to quality, to responsiveness. Lori was so awesome in working with us to get our wedding cake dreams. Not only did our 5 tier cake look amazing but the taste was so delicious! So many compliments from our wedding guests. Would recommend again and again!

Best Wedding Cake Vendor!

Our initial wedding cake vendor backed out on us a month before our wedding. To say we were devastated would be an understatement! We didn’t know how we would find a great caterer for our 240 person guest count at such short notice. Luckily, our wedding planner referred us to Lori with Sweet It Is. After explaining our situation, she offered us the opportunity to work with her even though it was a very busy time of year for her. I truly appreciated her professional and empathy for us! We had a wonderful taste testing which resulted in us moving forward with her and she was very accommodating in regards to choice of pairing between cake and icing. I showed her my photo “inspiration” of what I wanted the outside to look like and she executed it perfectly! Sweet It Is, is a great vendor choice for your wedding!

Beyond amazing!

More than expected. Well worth it? We loved the wedding cake. At first glance we thought it was a part of the décor. The look was more than we expected. The taste was awesome...Moist and simply delicious. We can't wait to eat the rest at the one year anniversary.

McCallum Wedding

Amazing overall experience!! My husband and I were able to choose multiple cake flavors for each tier, along with choosing our own topper to save and eat to celebrate our anniversary. The cake tasting was the best experience and we felt like royalty and cannot recommend Lori enough!
