One year anniversary review 10/25/24

We absolutely loved working with LaDawn for our wedding cake! From the very beginning, she was kind, responsive, and easy to communicate with. She really listened to what we wanted and helped us create the perfect cake for our day—a delicious spice cake with buttercream frosting that was beautifully made and delivered right on time.
Everything went so smoothly, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about how good the cake was! We’re so grateful for LaDawn’s talent and professionalism and would highly recommend her to any couple looking for a stress-free, wonderful cake experience.

Most delicious cakes!

We got our cake and cupcakes from sweets by ladawn. They accommodated our unique cake and cupcake flavor combinations. Our favorite was the key lime pie with key lime filling. They also accommodated our colors and cake topping even though it was more like a birthday cake it was beautiful and perfect and how we envisioned it!

Best wedding cake!

I could not recommend anyone else for wedding cakes! The cake was the perfect touch to a perfect day…from the design matching exactly with what the bride and groom wanted and to how delicious it was! One year later and people still comment on the cake! LaDawn made the day so easy from ordering, delivery, to set up!

Mossy cake for our fantasy wedding

We had such a good experience with LaDawn, she made the most delicious cake and cupcakes ever for my fantasy themed wedding. Our favorite is the lemon cake with raspberry filling.

Highly recommend LaDawn for outstanding service and treats!

My wife and I have worked with LaDawn now on two occasions and we couldn’t recommend her enough. We love that she is local to us and so easy to work with. We’ve also stopped into the storefront several times for the individual treats she has— everything she makes is so yummy.

LaDawn made our wedding cake which was a simple two tiered strawberry cake with buttercream frosting. We didn’t want anything extravagant but LaDawn still did a flawless job. The cake looked fabulous and tasted even better. A year later and we’re still drooling over the taste of our strawberry wedding cake.

The process for getting a wedding cake made by LaDawn was also great! We particularly loved the cake tasting which left us with so much leftover cake that we felt positively spoiled. The design process was clear and easy as well, even though we got a simple design we felt like she could make us anything we requested. Between the cake tasting and the final product we also feel like we got a really great value.

We have also ordered sheet cakes from LaDawn. Several for the wedding guests and one for our baby shower. They were great as we have come to expect from Cakes by LaDawn. You can really tell that she goes out of her way to make sure your special dessert is made to your complete satisfaction and I’m positive that whatever you order from her will please you and your guests.

10/10 recommend LaDawn!

LaDawn did our wedding cake last year and we absolutely loved working with her. She helped us pick what was best to accommodate all of our guests. Besides a few pieces we set aside for us, our cake was completely gone and eaten by the end of the night! She has so many great flavors to choose from you can’t go wrong! For the amount of people we were serving as well, we paid a great price for our cake and also a cut cake to feed about 180-190 people and it worked out great. Would 10/10 recommend her for all your cake needs!

Unforgettable!

Ladawn made me a 9 tier cake for my wedding and it was everything I dreamt of! Between her award wining almond and raspberry cake to the fine detail on the decoration of each layer, I couldn't have been more impressed. I had booked another vendor before trying Ladawn's cake at a wedding expo and I knew I had to have her. She also comes in at an affordable price point. 10/10 recommend!
