Hands down the best desserts I've tasted

Cate created a two flavor wedding cake for us, and populated our dessert bar with all kinds of cookies and treats. What sets Cate apart is 1) her flexibility and willingness to create whatever you might want -- she does not have set flavors from which you choose; and 2) everything tastes AMAZING. We got the most compliments on the desserts, all thanks to Cate. I cannot more highly recommend her!

I would highly recommend

Catherine Ackerman is such a lovely and talented person! She responded quickly and answered all my questions. The cake tasting was so much fun and delicious! I am gluten-free so she made the top tier of our cake gluten-free and it was amazing! The wedding cake was beautiful and delicious!

Extraordinary wedding cake and desserts!

Sweet Petites provided the cake and dessert bar for my daughter's wedding. They were ALL superb, vastly exceeded even my high expectations. The guests were all raving - every single item provided was out of the ordinary, especially the key lime tarts and miniature cheesecakes. The wedding cake was beautiful - both vanilla and chocolate layers were intensely flavorful and moist. Cate Ackerman is a delight to work with - she incorporated all of our requests graciously and perfectly! Highly recommend.

I had no idea what to expect when I called to meet with Cate. She is an expert!! I met with her at a convenient location (I live in Southeast Michigan) and she brought several tastes of cake flavors as well as fillings and frosting. She can make just about anything you come up with. The best part, aside from the presentation, is the taste. I was obsessed with all of the flavors and could not wait for our wedding cake. When we cut the cake on our wedding day, we took a huge piece of it to our table and gobbled it down before dinner. It was so DELICIOUS!!! I highly recommend working with Cate, she is so great! I can't wait for our anniversary, because I will definitely order our celebration desserts from Sweet Petites. I am willing to travel to get that cake again.

Cate went above and beyond. She let my whole family come for a tasting with a wide variety of flavors to sample. In the WEEK before my wedding, our venue notified us their policy no longer allows cupcakes brought on site, and Cate was able to transform our cupcakes into a beautiful tiered cake with minimal additional charging, maintaining all the flavors we had asked for. She was so kind, flexible, and awesome to work with!

Thanks again, Cate!

Beautiful & delicious cake! I am not much of a cake person, but I was sold on this cake once I tried some samples. Only downside was that there was some misunderstanding about how the flowers were meant to look on the cake that could not be changed once done, but it did not take away from the taste & guests' enjoyment of dessert!

It was a pleasure to work with Cate for our wedding! Her cakes are truly delicious and beautiful. We chose three cake flavors; each cake tier was different. They were all amazing. All of our guests loved the cake as well; there was not a single crumb left! I would highly recommend Cate to family and friends! Thank you Cate for being part of our special day!

From the onset, Cate from Cate’s Sweet Creations was a professional vendor and easy to work with. She has a great eye for detail and is really ‘up’ on all the current trends, as well as skilled in the ‘traditional’, from what we could tell from her great website photo galleries. She helped us design our wedding cake and provided an array of cake samplings to help us make our flavor selections. We found that in the planning process she was always easy to get a hold of and responded quickly and with detail to our inquiries (about flavors, number of servings, etc). Her pricing was very reasonable, especially when you see and taste the difference in using top quality ingredients. The day of the wedding she was on time with the delivery and took extra special care in the set up to get the cake and flowers arranged ‘just so’. And the all-important detail – the cake was an incredible, delectable-tasting masterpiece that made guests ask for seconds and thirds!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
