Funfetti Wedding Cake was the Star of the Show

The Sugary's Lesly McDevitt is a confectionary superstar. Some people don't like cake, but that is not me. I take cake very seriously. When wedding planning, I knew that I had to have a wedding cake that knocked it out of the park. Enter Lesly McDevitt of the Sugary. At our cake tasting, Lesly blew us away with flavor and style. First of all, she offers a FUNFETTI cake (which I obviously chose). Second, the buttercreams are so light and fluffy that my non-cake-loving husband went crazy for. On top of that, the Sugary's prices were incredibly reasonable. The Sugary was the obvious choice.

Come wedding day, the Sugary did not disappoint. The cake itself was stunning and the perfect centerpiece at our reception. The cake didn't just look good—it TASTED good. I cannot tell you how many people have raved to me about the cake (at the wedding, after the wedding, months later—it was that memorable). The funfetti was an absolute treat and surprise for our guests.

I cannot recommend the Sugary enough.

Beautiful & Delicious!

My husband and I are truly at a loss for words at how perfect our wedding cake was. My husband and I are not big cake people and we wanted something a little different, so we went with a cookie cake. Our family and guests have not stopped talking about how delicious our cake was! We rented a cake stand from the Sugary and they gave great insight into how to cut this unique cake. We are so grateful that we got to work with them. The Sugary could not have been more perfect for us and our special day.

Delicious wedding cake and cupcakes

Lesly created a delicious cutting cake and a variety of yummy cupcake flavors for our wedding. Our wedding guests loved the cupcakes and we received many compliments. In addition, our wedding cake and cupcakes were beautifully piped and tastefully decorated. Lesly was very communicative and great to work with. We definitely recommend The Sugary for any celebratory treats!

Beautiful and delicious!

My partner and I loved doing the cake and frosting samples. Lesly was great to work with and her cake was perfect. We went with Banana cake with coffee frosting for our brunch wedding and it was perfect. It was delivered to the venue and florals were added- one less thing for me to worry about on our wedding day.

The perfect wedding cake that was both beautiful and delicious!

We loved our wedding cake from The Sugary! The owner Lesly was amazing to work with, the cake looked perfect on our big day, and it was absolutely delicious! We knew we wanted a small, simple wedding cake for our modern, minimalist wedding in the city, and we wanted it to taste as good as it looked. Once we inquired with The Sugary and we did our tasting, we knew right away that we wanted them to make our cake. All of the flavors we tried were wonderful and it was hard to narrow down our favorites and make our final decision. The cake was such a hit for our wedding and we would highly recommend using The Sugary!

Everything was perfect

The Sugary for our wedding cake was perfect. Our cake tasting was an amazing experience and actually yummy flavors - we chose the funfetti and chocolate fudge. The cake was beautiful and exactly what I wanted, the detail of the icing and message on the top is exactly what we wanted. Thank you sooo much!

Delicious Cake and a Wonderful Baker

Lesly was incredible in making the cake for my wife and my wedding. From the patience and collaboration when picking out the cake, to the uniquely delicious flavors and a gorgeous presentation - we couldn't be more thankful. We'll certainly be coming back for more deserts in the near future!

Perfect Wedding Cake!

Lesly was wonderful to work with throughout the entire wedding planning process. She was always very responsive by email. We went with a 3 layer cake with 2 flavor combinations: almond pound cake with key lime butter cream and a chocolate cake with milk chocolate buttercream. The cake looked beautiful and tasted delicious! We were very happy that we worked with The Sugary for our wedding!
